Hi,


Everytime I launch Safari I get the following errors, however the same does not apply to google crome. Can anyone advise what this migh be?

Sorry to crash this apparently resolved thread - but I get the exact same console log as OP, but the difference is we have 3 machines that since upgrading to Yosemite, are all suffering Safari Beach Balls hence me checking the logs. The fault is intermittent but occasionally when we initiate a search in Safari, or often when first running Safari or when hotlinking from a mail to Safari, we get a 20 second or so hang, with Beach Ball. When I pull the console during this period, consistently on all 3 machines (MBP15, MBP13, MBAir) the log contains the same dump as per OP's.


I am considering (for the first time in years), clean installs - but am reticent as this problem is on 3 machines, with differing history's and applications installed, although there is obviously some commonality with certain Apps (Notably DropBox/MenuItems/BetterSnap are our must haves).


Since Yosemite, Safari has been unusable due to this intermittent issue. Any ideas gratefully received.
