Im working on a MAC 10.4.11 & safari will freeze and then close unexpectedly how can I either fix, work around or use a different browser so this doesnt happen anymore? Thanks
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11), base station model A1084
Click Safari in the menu bar.
1. Empty Caches.
2. Reset Safari.
Hey Dom, thanks for the reply. I do just that multiple times a day already. The version of safari I am on is 4.1.3. if there is a newer version that will work with my MAC I am happy to download it but I have no clue. Even if its another browser I really dont care I just want it to stop kicking me out.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Scott
Use a differant browser.
I do not have Safari version 4.1.3 to test.
Best.
Is there a crash report created when this happens ?. If so, copy/paste it here.
Hey Andy, good morning. I wish, it just up and quits on me with no report. The spinning rainbow thingy will come out during that time as well. It freezes spinning rainbow and any safari up kicks out completely. I know there is another version of safari available. Im concerned it may not work on my MAC (10.4.11)...
Man any other suggestions are much appreciated.
Scott
Check Console in Applications/Utilities : it may show recent crash reports, or at least something when this happens. Also test in another user account, it's helpful to know if the problem is system-wide or happens just for one user.
You have the newest Safari for OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. So otherwise, you'd need to upgrade or try a different browser, say Firefox. Don't install a later Safari.
Thank you for that. Not sure how to look a crash report up.
Pls advise?
Thanks you really appreciate it.
Login to another user account on your Mac. If you don't have one, go to System Preferences > Accounts
Click + to add a new account. If the + is grayed out, click the gold padlock icon to make changes. You will be prompted for your admin password.
Then click +
When you see Name type Test. Create a password then click Create Account.
Now login to that account. Try Safari. If Safari crashes in that account also, then it's likely the startup disk needs repairing.
If that is the case, launch Disk Utility located in Applications > Utilities
Select MactintoshHD on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Then click: Verify Disk (Not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing, click Repair Disk.
Make Safari crash, then open Console & look at the log messages.
You may see something like crashdump[415]: crash report written to: /Users/XXXX/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Safari.crash.log
or you can look directly in that Folder using Finder to see if there's anything recent.
Hey Andy good morning, I'll do that today was traveling on business. Thank you man
The safari crash log is rally long not sure if this exactly what you wanted to look at but here is a piece of it. If this incomplete or not what you need please let me know.
Thanks
Scott

Hi Carolyn, thank you for the suggestion I will try this as well. I cant explain how frustrating this whole thing is.
Thanks
Scott
Carolyn, I went through it and the disk did not need to be repaired.
Anything else you would like me to do to troubleshoot it?
Thanks,
Scott
Ok... keep us posted.
I have an older Mac running v10.4.11 Tiger with no issues with Safari but truth be told, it's such an outdated operating system. If you can, at some point purchase a new Mac.
Could it possibly be how my safari is set up possibly? Anything I should look for under preferences?
Safari quits all the time!?! HELP
