Need the complete and correct way to reset Safari 5.1

Need the complete and correct way to reset Safari 5.1 the reason being is that 1. Even with the fix for .pdf's opening in Sarfai, they still don't and I have local copy of a html file that I use to access my most frequent sites and it refuses to open when Safari loads.
I need to know what to save so that I can reinstall it after the reset. I don't want to lose my cookies and passwords that I have saved.

Well I went back to one of my old discussions from a few months ago and found the right way to reset Safari but also dicovered that the file that my other older Mac had the same problem with, were I could'nt load a .pdf file into Safari as well as play video files, like the one that Apple posted of the Stve Job's tribute yesterday.QuickTime would'nt load so this morning  got my act together and took each file that I thought might be corrupt out till I found the one that was, having to restart Safari and shut it down.
the file in the
Home/Library/Preferences>com.apple.Safari.plist was the culprit. I am now trying to find a way to see how one can tell if this file is corrupt before backing it up, since "plists" are not a file to mess with.
I hate resetting Safari since it destroys a bunch of files that one builds up over a long period of time, and hate to destroy all that work just because of one file. Hopefully if someone reads this they can find a way of having Safari back it up on a on going basis but making sure it is'nt corrupt in the process.

    I need help hacking into my ipod i forgot the password and i cant factory reset it because the power button is broken?!

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • TS2097 I inserted a new DVD, it is working but not coming out. Whenever I try to eject it, it does not come out. Apple should provide us the easy and manual way to eject CD/DVD or?

    Hello,
    I inserted a new DVD in my mac book pro, its working and the drive is reading the dvd but unfortunately is not coming out. I have tried several ways mentioned on all over the net and apple community websites but nothing has worked so far.
    I need a easier and manual way to eject the DVD. Where is apple's help?
    Please help me. This is one of the weaknesses Apple should work on because it is causing us pain and loss of efficiency which is not apple's quality.
    Thanks

    Thanks for asking, actually I just found a trick on a website.
    It siad that restart MBP while holding eject button, I did it and DVD came out right away.
    I hope that this works out for everyone.
    But still there is a need for a manual eject system so that people don't worry about stucking the DVD or CD in th drive.
    Thanks anyway dear.

  • What is the proper and best way to destroy a java.util.List or Array for GC

    Hi,
    If I have a java.util.List of objects lets say:
    List<File> files = new ArrayList();The List contains 1000 file objects. When my class finishes, is it enough to do
    files = null;to make GC able to release it from memory?
    Cause it seems like I can't do the following:
    for(int i = 0; i < extracted_files.size(); i++){
                extracted_files.get(i) = null;
    }Or should I use this one:
    files.clear()What is the proper and best way to do this in order to avoid memory leaks? How about normal Arrays like File[]?

    Thanks for the info!
    But what if the List is a class variable running in a Web Service for like months without terminating?You mean if the List variable is a member variable of a long-lived object? Then presumably the list needs to live as long as the object does. In the unlikely scenario that the object needs to live on but its list member variable does not, then yes, setting the member to null will be needed to make the list eligible for GC. But I highly doubt this is your situation, and if it is, you probably have a design flaw.
    And if the list is referenced only by a local variable, then, as I already said, when the method ends, the variable goes out of scope, and the List is eligible for GC.
    Now, a slightly different situation is when the List needs to live a long time, and at some point during its life, you're done using some object that it refers to. In that situation, simply remove the element from the list (or set the element to null if it's an array rather than a list), and then if it's not referenced anywhere else, it can be GCed.
    How about Arrays like File[]? Do I need to iterate through the array and null all the objects or is it enough to just null the Array?YOU. DON'T. NEED. TO. HELP. GC. You don't need to set the elements to null, and you most likely don't even need to set the array variable to null.
    Also note that only references can be null, not objects.

  • Do I have the legit and correct Flash player 10?

    Windows Vista Home Premium with Vista SP2  using IE7
    I had difficulty getting Flash player 10  version 10.0.32.18 from download at the adobe site. Kept getting error
    "GetPlus+  Error  Operating System Error! 16236.203.235"
    and I was not able to download from the adobe site. But then I remembered that if you don't have flash player and you go to a site that requires it, It will prompt you to download flash player. So I went to a legit site www.dallasstars.com it gave me a prompt to download adobe instaler and flash player. When I agreed, it gave me the install file for flash player and I clicked it. Now when I look at my programs in the add/remove listing I see ADOBE Flash Player 10active x version
    10.0.32.18  When I go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash I see the following items:
    Flashc.ocx
    FlashUtil10c
    both of which are digitally signed by ADOBE and version 10.0.32.18
    uninstall_active x
    and a install text document
    when I go to my IE7 under add-ons I see Shockwave Flash Object from adobe also version 10.0.32.18
    So bottom line, was able to get the legit and correct current version of Flash player 10 even though I went about it in a round about way? That the link from the stars website took me to adobe and adobe

    should restate I have flash10c.ocx not flashc.ocx

    what is the easiest and best way to install or open flash drive in Sarfari on my 2010 macbook pro using mountain lion?

    There is no really good way to do what you want. Any tracks you purchase via your own iTunes Store account are for your personal use, tied to your iTunes Store account, and can't be given to anyone else. If you don't want to gift the tracks to her and can't access her iTunes Store account, the only option other than creating her a completely new iTunes Store account (which will require a new email address for her) is to buy the CDs those tracks are on.

  • Hi, I want to rebuild my g/f's lost itunes as a surprise. What is the easiest and stealthiest way to buy tracks via my macbook for her itunes?

    Hi,
    I want to rebuild my g/f's lost itunes as a surprise. What is the easiest and stealthiest way to buy tracks via my macbook for her itunes? To be clear I don't want to buy her vouchers I want to buy the songs myself. I don't have access to her itunes account and to ask would give the game away. I don't want to own or listen to the songs myself but I struggle to think of an approach that doesn't involve some sort of piracy.
    She currently has zero tracks having lost them all so the only thing I can think of is starting an entirely new account in her name and filling it and then giving it to her on a hard drive. Is this the best way to go about it?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew

    You'll have to put your iPhone in Recovery Mode.
    Recovery mode
    If you've never synced your device with iTunes, or haven't set up Find My iPhone, you'll need to put your device in recovery mode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    This will erase the device and its passcode.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then "slide to power off" to turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button and plug the device into your computer. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on. Don't release the Home button.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    If iTunes doesn't open automatically, open it. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK. Then restore the device.
    If your device doesn't go into recovery mode, try steps 1–4 again.

    A 15" mid-2009 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    As has been pointed out, OWC is an excellent source for Mac compatible RAM.  Crucial is another first rate source for Mac RAM.  RAM from either vendor will work just as well as any purchased from Apple with the bonus of being less expensive and having a lifetime guarantee.
