The last few days, something is causing Safari to quit unexpectedly, only when I'm on h-t. Seems to happen most frequently when a page is almost done loading.

It's not a big deal, I can always use Firefox instead. I'm just curious if anyone else is having this problem.

 

It has been happening to me lately, actually.

 

I haven't noticed any issues, but I am constantly switching browsers. I will make a point and run safari for the next couple of days starting now....switches from the tabs in mozilla.

 

Yeah, just use Firefox. I haven't used Safari in years.

But I just hopped on Safari and didn't get the problem.

What OS version are you running?

BTW ... I don't really know what this has to do with an ITR???

 

I use Safari exclusively at home, and I think I've only had one session recently quit unexpectedly (though I don't recall whether I was even viewing H-T at the time). What version of Safari and OS X are you running?

 

Using OS X 10.4.9, Safari version 2.0.4.

Firefox doesn't give me any trouble, though, which is odd since Safari actually seems to run better for most sites.

Doesn't have anything to do with ITRs, hence the OT tag in the title. However, it is relevant to the forum, considering the problem is localized to it.

 

Hmm. Well, I'll be sure to post if I begin having any issues. Have you tried repairing permissions and running the maintenance scripts recently?

 

Haven't used Safari in quite some time. I'll take a look and see if I have any issues...

 

Safari used to give me a lot of problems....especially this one over and over.

Firefox works great.

OSX 10.4.9 here.

No. Actually, I'm not even sure how to do that. I'll have to see if I can figure it out.

 

Firefox and IE are both reported to be having troubles the last few days. Lock ups, sessions that work fine then suddenly die, etc. Seems to be an H-T issue.

 

i was having this EXACT same issue...safari crashing. so i upgraded to the new beta version and it still does it time to time.

bogus!

PM sent.

 

I've had a few inquiries regarding how to repair the disk permissions and run the maintenance scripts, so I decided it might be helpful to post the info here.

Repairing Disk Permissions

The simplest way to do this is by using Disk Utility. Open the Disk Utility application (Applications-&gt;Utilities-&gt;Disk Utility), then select the appropriate drive from the left hand column. Next, simply click on the "Repair Disk Permissions" button in the middle column, and wait for the utility to finish. Close Disk Utility, and you're all done.

Running Maintenance Scripts

There are two main ways to do this. The simplest (or most user-friendly) is to download a free application that allows you to run the scripts at the click of a button. MacJanitor is a nice simple example, and is great for those running PowerPC Macs (to my knowledge it is not available in universal binary). [url="http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/maintenance.html"]Maintenance is a similar program that will work with either PPC and Intel-based Macs. I've used both applications, and both work well. OnyX also allows you to run the maintenance scripts, but contains many additional features and "tweaks", so those who just want the basics may prefer one of the other two applications I mentioned.

For those who are familiar with the Terminal, the maintenance scripts can be run from there as well. First, launch Terminal (Applications-&gt;Utilities-&gt;Terminal). At the prompt, type: sudo periodic daily weekly monthly and then press return. You'll be prompted for your system password, so enter that and press return again. After the scripts are finished running, you'll see the prompt again. You can then close Terminal, and you're finished. Note that the above instructions will run the daily, weekly, and monthly scripts in sequence. If you'd rather run a single one, just omit the other two scripts from the command line when entering the command.

Hope this helps.

 

I've never had issues with Safari. Only quirk is that PM's don't pop-up.

 

Ok, just did the security update and OSX update. Was fine before, but now Safari's crashing.

 

That's why I'm usually reluctant to update when things are already working fine.
