oh yeah. the dreaded "safari busy" problem. I am seeing that a lot more lately. its even happening in the new webkit versions. on top of the safari issues, I also have mail.app behaving in an odd manner. it starts stuttering reading the mail titles and even tries to repeat the same line 3 times in voiceover. its getting so irritating that I give up reading e-mails except in small batches. this particular problem only cropped up in the last 3 weeks. I have done all the usual system corrections (scanning permissions and even the repair disk function). so far, no dice.
please don't ask me to upgrade to lion as I don't have the money nor the supported hardware. I already tried and the installer barfed while starting up. even when I got visual help here to see what the problem was they told me it was not possible to install lion on my system as the cpu was considered too old. I am saving up for a new mac mini i7. until then, I am stuck with whatever I have. -Eric On Aug 13, 2011, at 11:49 PM, Shen wrote: > I have the same problems with Chrome.
