Hi
I have been using Safari for sometimenow and recently i have experienced a problem whereby the page takes a while to load and the wheel spins and spins until I have to reboot. Think I might start usig google chrome if I cannot resolve this problem.
Thank You

Try emptying the Safari cache more often or reset Safari from the menu bar.
Go to Safari / Preferences - Security.
Deselect: Enable Plug ins.
Quit then relaunch Safari. If you don't see the beach ball, then you have a third party Safari add on installed that's preventing pages from loading.

BTW... good idea to have a backup browser installed in case you have problems with Safari.
How much free space on the startup disk? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on the Desktop then click Get Info.
See: Capacity & Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Run Disk Utility. The hard disk may need repairing.

Thank you your suggestion worked. However I don't have the beach ball now which may indicate I have a third party app installed but I don't think I have. Safari is loading a lot faster so I am happy with it. I have about 20gb left on my HD which is 148 so 128GB is used.
Anyway Safari is working as it used to so thank you.
At some point you may want to free up disk space. 🙂
I have safari version 5.0.6 and have the spinning wheel
