How to test/reinstall Safari?

I got a problem that have been bugging me for a while.
One of the pay sites I use to purchase airline tickets no longer work 100%.
During the payment process it looses the information about the ticket I want to purchase and I end up with a blank page.
Funny thing is that:
- it used to work
- it works when I do it from my MacAir
I reckon that somehow something is changed in my Safari setting on my iMac that I'm unaware of.
Is there a way to verify that Safari works by going to a web-site that will test all it's features?
That would allow me to pin-point what is wrong.
How can I reinstall Safari - without having to reinstall the entire Mac OS X?

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to: Other forms. Remove All.
Now from the menu bar again, click Safari / Empty Cache.
Restart your Mac.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • How do i reinstall Safari for mac osx 10.7.2?

    I updated my Safari from 5.1.3 (I believe) to the latest Safari 7 (I believe). When I tried to open it, it said I needed to update my osx, which I don't want to do. Now I can't seem to go back to the Safari I had. I've tried installing version 5.1.1, but it says I need to have mac osx 10.6. My osx version is 10.7.2 and don't want to upgrade yet, but how do I get Safari back, and which version of Safari works in osx 10.7.2?
    What happened is not fair because when I was installing the new version of Safari, there was no warning about which osx I needed. Only after it replaced the old version did it say that I can't use it with my current osx. Is that Apple's way to force you to upgrade to the latest osx? Not fair! How can I reinstall Safari now?

    On a Mac running v10.7.2, the only way to reinstall Safari is to reinstall OS X using OS X Recovery.
    Safari 5.1.1 is for Snow Leopard. It will not run on a Mac with v10.7 installed.

  • How can I reinstall Safari 8.0 without disturbing anything else?

    How can I reinstall Safari 8.0 without disturbing anything else?  I have OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite & Safari 8.0 (that comes in it) installed on a MacBook Pro laptop and a Mac Mini tabletop computer. I want to access internet banking which goes without problems on the laptop but does not work on the tabletop. The latter says "somebody tried to display the application in a frame..." whatever that means and obviously for safety reasons I can not start banking it always comes back to the screen with this warning. I tried Mozilla FireFox on the tabletop Mini and everything works fine including the banking. A Mac expert suggested something is wrong with the Safari settings and I should reinstall it. How do I do this without reinstalling the System? Would it suffice to wipe out the Safari Preferences and start anew? I am looking for somebody's advice more experienced than I am. Thanks!

    Hello isza41,
    Before you try to do any uninstall/install stuff let me suggest you something:
    Create a new user and check if the same happens within its account. You could do so by going trough the following steps:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Click the lock icon to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password.
    Click Add below the list of users.
    Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user. - Standard user account would be perfect here.
    Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.
    Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Using a password hint is recommended to help the user remember his or her password.
    Click Create User.
    Now Logout from your account (⌘⇧Q) and Login to the one you have just created. This account is fresh without any changed settings(as a new instance would look like).
    Check if the same would happen and you would see if this is an issue with your installation or something more general.

  • How do I reinstall Safari plug-ins?

    How do I reinstall Safari plug-ins, for example, the Google Earth plug-in? Should I delete the old one first, or is it ok to just install on top of it?
    I am having trouble with the Google Earth plug-in working.
    thanks

    Delete the old one first. However, if you just open the Extensions preferences in Safari you can click the Update button to download new updates if they are available.

    Yes, it has. When you removed it from the trash you placed it on the desktop, and there it remains.
    Is there anyway to put it back in the routes application folder? Or can it be in the desktop and the routes application folder?
    It should be placed back in the Application folder. And that's simple: Just open your Applications folder (inside your hard drive icon) and drag the Safari application file from your desktop into the Applications folder.
    Make sure the Safari icon in your Dock works properly. (If it doesn't, drag it out of the Dock in that account, then drag Safari from the Applications folder into your Dock. This doesn't move Safari; it just creates a shortcut to Safari in your Dock.)
    Then log into your second user account and drag the Safari icon from the Applications folder into your Dock so you have a proper shortcut for it there, too.

  • How can I reinstall Safari

    I recently updated my mini mac (late 2012) to Yosemite and somehow I seem to have deleted my safari so completely that when I try and log in -  a message comes up saying 'Safari can't find server' - any ideas on how I can reinstall my Safari. thanks

    By deleting a portion of the address, apparently it could no longer be resolved into anything meaningful.
    When you open Safari after closing the last window, quitting the program, or restarting your Mac, by default it opens the last web page you attempted to load. That may be the page with the misspelled address and something like this will appear:
    Do you know what site you're attempting to access?
    To change Safari's default search engine open Safari, select the Safari menu and select Preferences...
    Then, select the Search tab. Click the dropdown menu adjacent to Search engine. I suggest you change it to DuckDuckGo.

  • How can I reinstall safari without losing bookmarks

    I need to reinstall my Safari and preserve all my Bookmarks.
    For a previous problem, i have to reinstall my MacOS and safari now does not work. So i want to reinstall it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to lose my previous bookmarks that I had in my latest Safari.
    Any help is welcome.
    THANK YOU!!

    Hi Julian,
    About 15 minutes ago I reinstalled Safari and all my bookmarks remained intact... here's what I did...
    I had a problem with Safari not opening after Security Update 2005-007. I used a program called Pacifist to get a file called Safari.pkg from my Tiger install disc.
    The file lives in:
    Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Packages/Safari.pkg
    Open the pkg with Pacifist and drop the Safari.app file into your Applications folder.
    That's it - my bookmarks all remained intact - hope yours do!
    FYI - Safari bookmarks are stored in your 'user' home folder in Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist so you might want to make a copy of that and keep it safe.
    If you install a browser called Shiira you can also import your Safari bookmarks into that. I managed to do that while my Safari was broken.
    Good luck. I accept no responsibility for lost bookmarks etc. ;O)
    Regards,
    Dan

  • I downloaded k9 browser. How do i reinstall safari?

    I downloaded k9 browser. How do i restore safari?

    You cacn't delete Safari on an iOS device. It is one of the built in apps. Check your folders or alternate home pages. Its there somewhere. Unless you set restrictions to hide it, in which case you will need open the Settings App and go to restrictions to turn it back on.

  • How can I reinstall Safari - without having to reinstall the entire Mac OS X?

    Hi
    Is there a way to reinstall Safari - without having to reinstall entire Mac OS X?

    Hi
    Yes - just download the appropriate version from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ & install it - that should replace the Safari application &  the accompanying software frameworks inside System/Library/, as well as one or two other items.

  • How do I reinstall Safari 5.1 (Lion) replacing all prefs

    Safari has been misbehaving on my sysyem ever since 10.5.  This misbehavior has persisted through updates to Snow Leopard and Lion using Migration Assistant throughout.  If I create a new account, Safari behaves properly for that account so I'm thinking that there is a setting somewhere that, if deleted, will restore Safari on my account to good behavior.  Unfortunately, I have deleted all of the Safari prefs and other support files that I can find to no avail.  I would like to be able to correct this without resorting to a clean install.
    Here are two of the most aggravating misbehaviors:
    1) Some of the letters for links on this page (http://padilicious.com) are rendered as white in color making them invisible and garbling the text of the hyperlink.
    2) Many of the movies on http://hercules.gcsu.edu/~flowney/research/MPEG-4/subtitles/ (e.g the link entitled, "QuickTime Player 7") will display the QuickTime question mark when other browsers or Safari on other machines play the  video just fine.

    Some of the letters for links on this page (http://padilicious.com) are rendered as white in color making them invisible and garbling the text of the hyperlink.
    First, reinstalling Safari will have no effect on your problems.
    Open Safari's preferences. Select the Extensions tab. Are any Extensions installed? Now select the Advanced tab. Is a Style Sheet selected?

    Select Help > Installed Plug-ins from the Safari menu bar. What plugins are installed?

    Safari can't be deleted. Check other screens, inside folders. Also check restrictions by going to Settings > General > Restrictions.
