  • Can't open Safari after downloading update this morning

    Macbook pro, OSX Mavericks
    Can't open Safari. Did an Apple update this morning and when i click on Safari, it just bounces. won't open

    If you installed "CleanMyMac," the instructions for removing it are linked to my last comment. If it's something else, see below. If you don't know what you installed, ask for instructions.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Can't open safari after removing genieo

    How do I open safari  after removing genieo

    You installed the "Genieo" scam product. There is an uninstaller, but as the developer is a scam artist, you shouldn't rely on it. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Applications/Genieo.app
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
    /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
    /usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
    Note: Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file doesn't exist.
    The following configuration file may be either created or modified by the Genieo installer:
    /etc/launchd.conf
    The file is unlikely to be used by anything but Genieo or something equally undesirable. Unless you know you need it, delete it in the same way as above, if it exists. Otherwise, edit it to remove the line that begins as follows:
    setenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
    The above is not a file, but a line inside a file.
    Reboot. Safari should now function normally, and you should be able to reset the home page. If not, stop here and post your results.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extension you don't recognize. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    The Genieo installer may also install the "Silverlight" web plugin from Microsoft. If you have no use for that plugin, you should remove it according to Microsoft's instructions. Don't remove it if you subscribe to "Netflix."
    This procedure may leave a few files behind, but it should render Genieo permanently non-functional, as long as you never reinstall it.

  • New iMac, can't open safari after migration

    Moved files from old iMac (2006) to new iMac (bought yesterday) that was running itunes music off of an external hard drive. Move seemed successful, and I re-attached external hard drive but Itunes would not open, saying itunes was a "newer version" than what was on new iMac already. Did software update and it did not finish the update, saying try again. Second time, it completed update, updating itunes and then the new iMac was able to read the external hard drive fine. I tested a few songs and itunes found them and played them fine, all artwork ok, etc.
    So, then I tried to open Safari and it told me it could not run this version of Safari on the new iMac OSX. Tried the update software trick again, but it still will not open, same message. Under Safari preferences, it shows two default Safari versions, 5.0.4 i thinkg and 5.1.1 (i think) [I am at work now].  I can get around this and get to the internet fine by double clicking my Amazon MP3 icon, which asks if i want to quit and go to website to update, where i am then on amazon.com and have all my bookmarks etc listed on web browser just like before and it works fine...So how can i get icon or safari to open from dock or desktop? I have not tried to download new safari from apple website yet to see if that works to overwrite the others...Am i missing something simple? Can i just delete safari in applications and re-download it or should i run disk utility or ?  Thanks for the help.  jw

    Hi Simon...
    Have two different versions of Safari on your Mac won't work.
    So how can i get icon or safari to open from dock or desktop?
    new iMac (bought yesterday)
    The only way to reiinstall Safari on Lion v10.7 is to use Lion Recovery which will reinstall the Mac OS X.
    Can i just delete safari in applications and re-download it or should i run disk utility or ? 
    No.

  • TS2363 Help can't open iTunes after download

    I was able to download iTunes, but when I click on it I receive: Do you want to allow the following program to make changes? Program name Apple. When I select Yes, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    I am having the same issue. I was able to use iTunes to rent a movie, watch the movie, and since then, it shuts down less than 10 seconds after start up. Is there something wrong with the newest version of iTunes?
    Can anyone tell me why iTunes is shutting down automatically and what can i do to fix it?

  • Can't open itunes after downloading latest update

    After installing latest ITunes update, the ITunes Store doesn't open.  Additionally, the Apple Device Manager program tries to run in the background consuming 50% of my CPU while never doing anything.  I have tried the Netsh Winsock reset, and I have tried removing all the Apple programs (in order) after updating Windows.  Actully I have tried both things multiple times over the past few weeks, and yet I still have the same problem.  ITunes Store does nothing, and I have to end the process for Apple Device Manager.  I have tried to remove the device manager program, but it still locks out the store. I have tried going to a restore point only to find that the Library file is not recognizable.
    I am not sure if it is an issue, but the latest download (10.5) mentions 64 Bit, while my windows 7 operating system is a 32 bit (not sure what that means, but thought I would throw it out there).
    Any other suggestions are deeply appreciated!

    Just to point out that there is another thread on this subject and Apple are on the case:

    There are some oddities with ADE 2.0 and XP, especially if it is not XP SP3.

  • Can't open firefox after download. What's up with that?

    Two weeks ago Firefox quit downloading attachments. Tried every online fix I could find and nothing worked. I uninstalled and installed the latest version. Program seems to download and it installs an icon on the toolbar but when you click on the icon nothing happens. I don't have time at work to debug a defective product. What a colossal waste of time. Why must software companies continue to dick with something that works perfectly and make it more and more complicated and unusable. I hate Internet Explorer but at least it works.

    hello dowens, since this can sometimes be caused by malware active on a system, please run a scan with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner].

  • Safari application-disappeared. & can't be found after download/install ...

    This morning, Safari application was no longer in the Applications Folder on my iMac. (Nor was FireFox!) Can't find it anywhere, even using 'Search'.
    So, I installed Safari from a previously downloaded .dmg/.pkg. Went through all the steps, and greeted with "Installation was successful!!!"
    However, the [supposedly] newly installed Safari application is nowhere to be found.
    I have been through various cycles of this, even downloading anew on MacBook and then dragging from MacBook to iMac. I have been careful to use the correct versions to match the Mac OS 10.6.2 that's on the iMac.
    I'm befuddled. Can't find a similar problem on the forum ...

    HI,
    *I have been careful to use the correct versions to match the Mac OS 10.6.2 that's on the iMac.*
    Absolutely.
    First, instead of using a .dmg Safari from a previously downloaded .dmg/.pkg... that might be a previous version of Safari, Go here and try downloading the newest version of Safari.
    http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    Make sure and select Snow Leopard on the left. If after the installation, you still can't use Safari
    after you download and install Safari....
    When you have probems with applications disappearing, it's probably a good time to check the startup disk for errors.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
    If the startup disk appears to be ok and there sufficient disk space, try booting in Safe Mode
