Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
In Safari, every few minutes the colored circle starts to spin and Safari stops working, then it starts again
I have emptied the history and cookies, restarted Safari and the computer but it keeps happening.
Anybody have any ideas?
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Go step by step by step and test.
1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
