No apple stores near here. No anti-virus or plug ins.
Just at random times, I will refresh FR, or Drudge, or whatever I’m doing and the progress bar will freeze up at about 15% and then not do anything.
I close safari and re-open and the result is the same.
I have to restart to get it to work.
I have an old macbook that works great. I bought this one to replace it as the old one sometimes drops what I was typing while i’m typing.
Ii’s weird.
Jet, I suggest you call Apple Care. . . there is definitely something wrong here. You should be able to get free care for this problem and they are very good.
(800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)
That’s 24/7 number.
Let me know how it turns out for you.
The tried and true fixes are PRAM re-set and disk utility repair permissions.
Restart then just before the start-up chime hold down command/option and the r and p keys. Let it chime twice then release.
