Re: Safari issue

 

Julian:
It's not links at the top... it's the "tab" that Safari is displaying, even for 1 page...
Safari displays it as gray / clear, like your URL bar...
In my case, Firefox shows the same text in the actual "tab" above the URL, along with the R icon in orange, text in white...

Make sense?

Howdy.

Or, boot with Option Command p r pressed.

If you have a startup chime, keep the 4 keys pressed until you hear the
chime a 2nd time.

Re: iMac seems frozen while restarting.

 

A Mac with an SSD, no external HDDs, should boot up fast. ?

You can also do the routine maintenance startup routines that have been?
discussed frequently here.?

Zap PRAM
Safe Disk Boot?
SMC reset?
Boot in Recovery and run First Aid?

Denver Dan

If I had those symptoms on my MBPro, the first thing I would do is restart with <Shift> held down (Safe Boot).

Let that finish its clean-and-check routines (invisibly), however long that takes, then restart.

I wouldn¡¯t expect zapping the PRAM to accomplish much on. new machine.
And I haven¡¯t found SMC reset to be helpful for quite a few years.

But my *next* step WOULD be Recovery Mode and Disk Utility First Aid.

Yes, I think that is what you would want to happen most of the time. ?And since it boots and shuts down so fast, it would be easy to shut it down in the less frequent situations when you didn¡¯t want it on.

If you have one of those models, what do you think about that feature?? Do you like, or dislike it?

It would seem logical that you wouldn't want your computer on when you were cleaning the keyboard and perhaps the screen. I've found that cleaning the keyboard is best done with the computer off.

I just restarted my iMac, and now it is stuck on the apple symbol and the progress
bar almost at the very end. It¡¯s been like that for about five minutes now. What
should I do? Do I hold down the on off button on the back of the monitor?
