My bro normally sorts this crap out for me but he's gone on holiday for 10 days...
If anyone can help, please explain this as if to someone who was never convinced that a wheel works best if it's circular...

I'm on Safari and Mac..... and it does freeze on me sometimes.... like tonight! but I usually find that if I log out and back in again that frees it. However, I think the probs we are having have more to do with the forum than either the Mac or Safari, cos others are also having trouble

Yes... they appear automatically for updates and I just use the password... no idea for what though! Thanks so much Q and Mr Q

It's what I said!

First question..have you recently installed any updates or programmes?

Thanks Baz! I'm hoping that's it... but mine freezes so I can't even log out! Hence pulling the plug!

Check what Safari version do you have.

To do this open Safari, click on the word Safari, scroll down and click on the words 'about Safari' and you should be on version 4.03. If you're not go to www.apple.com/safari/download where you'll find the latest version.

Have you tried going to the Apple sign in the top left hand corner... click on it and then clicking on Force Quit... then on Safari. That should close it down without having to pull the plug

You might want to try to reset Safari. This will return Safari back to its default stage.

To do this simply click on Safari (top left hand corner) scroll down and click on reset Safari.

It will have a list of blue ticked boxes, if you to reset ALL of the ticked items simply click RESET.

OK.... that has happened to me too.... but if you move the cursor onto another programme in the dock...say mail.... that should stop the freeze and *beach-balling*.... and let you then click on the Apple.

Mr Q said you should clear your permissions at least once a month.

To do this you...

1. Double click on the Macintosh icon on the desktop this will launch your browser window.

2. Double click on the Applications folder.

3. Click on any time item ONCE, then hit the U on the keyboard. This should take you to the start of your applications starting with U. You should now be able to see a folder called Utilities. Double click on this folder.

4. Press the D button on your keyboard, you should see an icon called Disk Utility. Double click on this icon.

5. Now you're in the Disk Utility programme, on the left hand side of the page, you should see a white box. At the top of the box, the words 'Macintosh HD', this is your hard drive. Click to hilight it.

6. Look on the centre of this dialogue box, there's a button that says 'Repair disks permissions', click it.

7. This will start a clean up of your disk which may take several mins.

Hopefully this should resolve your problem, if not I suggest you re install Safari.

And he said you're most welcome.

He's had Apple for yearsssss and there's nothing he can't really do on it. So if I see a problem on here...I tell him...he helps me to help you guys. Good luck.

Additionally your computer creates a crash register and tries to repair any damage however if you continue to switch your computer off prematurely you prevent the necessary repairs.

ps....he stopped fixing the cistern in the bathroom to answer you....the fecker is playing up when I flashed the toilet 25 mins ago. Call him Jack of all trades
