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?

Is Safari working? If not, how does it fail to work?

Safari works fine, without looking at the logs you wouldn't notice anything.

Then I suggest you stop looking at the logs. Log messages don't mean anything except in the context of a functional problem.

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.
