Greetings ,
I have been running Safari without a glitch for six months, ever since getting cable dsl hookup. Now, in the last three days, safari will not exactly freeze, but will fail to load a new page after only a few minutes of non-use. I can still scroll the currently loaded page, but clicking on a new link will produce the new address in the url bar, which will display the blue progress indicator about 10% of the way, then stop totally. Similarly, when streaming audio in iTunes, the music will stop, the computer saays "rebuffering stream", but it will never reload. In both cases, it will right itself only if I put the computer to sleep, then wake it, even if sleep is only for two seconds. After that Safari is right quick, until I start reading the same page for a few minutes or otherwise idle.
After browsing the board here a bit, I have tried all these possible fixes, but to no avail.
1. restart
2. clear cache, reset safari
3. repair permissions and run maintenance scripts via ONYX utility and restart
4. trash the icons and plist files and restart
5. unplug all connexions, wait, restart
6. remove all duplicate fonts from font book app.
7. ???? don't know what to try next
current OS 10.3.8, safari 1.2.4 (v125.12)
any suggestions please.
thanks,
dave
