Hi Parham,

This is a long-running behavior for some of us. Interestingly, you’ll find some 
VO Users who say they’ve never experienced the issue, but from past discussions 
I am pretty sure most of us have seen it happen to some extent. I’ve never 
heard a definitive explanation of why it happens, but here is what I know from 
past and current experiences.

1. The occasional “busy” message seems to be normal and is just telling you to 
wait a few seconds while a process completes.
2. In those cases where the “busy” message just won’t stop, I’ve had some 
success easing the pain by turning VO off and ON via the Command+F5 keystroke. 
Sometimes this stops the message and allows me to continue working, sometimes 
it does not.
3. For me, the issue used to be most evident in Safari but it has gradually 
improved over time with updates to the OS & Safari. What I often hear now is, 
“ninety percent loaded, ninety percent loaded, ninety percent loaded.” If you 
run into that one, a simple way to kill it is to press Command+. which stops 
the page load but in my experience does not cause any important data to be left 
behind.
5. When you are experiencing the issue in iTunes, it might be because iTunes 
uses Safari (or at least some part of Webkit) as the interface for the iTunes 
Store within the iTunes Mac App. This is nice in a way because you can use 
standard VO web navigation commands to find your way around the iTunes store, 
but it also seems to bring the annoying “busy” messages to iTunes when loading 
or navigating the store interface.
6. If / when you encounter the issue with specific third-party Apps, I would 
suggest contacting those Developers and describing the specific steps to follow 
to replicate the problem. As always, some Devs will be more helpful than 
others. When the Bento database app became crippled by this issue after an OS 
upgrade a while back, FileMaker, the Developers of Bento, did nothing to fix 
the problem. BTW, FileMaker has since stopped developing Bento altogether.

HTH,
Bryan
