Safari, dashboard & help not working after 10.4.9
I have loved my iBook since day 1, until 10.4.9. This is my first Apple computer and I was very close to being a convert. I updated through sys prefs to 10.4.9 and now: Safari opens for a split second then closes with kernel errors (or I least I assume from the crash log), no more widgets and dashboard does not work and help files do not work. What gives? I tried downloading the combo update but it was a .exe file. Forgive my lack of tech know how, I know some, enough to get me in trouble evidently. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried booting into safe mode, Safari does the same thing, I have tried repairing permissions in safe mode and in regular mode as admin, nada. HELP!
I originally updated through sys pref and just let it go. One day later things stopped working. Repairing permissions etc did nothing. Applied the combo update, verified the disk before hand, repaired permissions after the update and reboot, now things are back to normal as far as I can tell, better even in some areas. Hope this can help others with similar problems.

Java Desktop Overview (jds-help) not working after upgrade to jdk6u1
Hello,
I am running Sol 10 11/06 for sparc on a Sun Blade. I just upgraded to jdk6u1 from jdk5. I installed all required j6 packages, and then installed patches for j6u1. Java seems to be working fine. I then used pkgrm to remove all jdk5-related packages (I searched for all packages starting with SUNWj5 and then removed them).
Now, my Desktop Overview and other java-related help functions do not work. I get this error:
# jds-help ghelp:jdsoverview
** (jdshelp:826): WARNING **: An exception occured 'Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0''
Maybe I removed a j5 package I shouldn't have. Which j5 packages are related to the operation of jds-help? Any ideas as to what is causing my problem with jds-help?
Thank you...Here is the error log:

Safari on dock not working after update
I just updated my macbook pro with the updates that came out on OCT22 and now safari on my dock doesn't work. Why? Everything else on my dock is working.
As a starting point drag the icon off the dock (it should vanish in a puff of smoke)
Then go to the applications folder and try to open Safari, if it opens then the application if fine. Close it, then go to applications folder and drag the application to the dock and drop it there, this will create a new short cut. (maybe the old was corrupted) -
Safari and iTunes not working after 10.7.1 update
Has anyone else out there had the same experience?
The thing is that sometimes software updates cause more problems than good. Now roll back to the previous version. This is my advice.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3." -
My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem? Can somebody help me please?
The App store is a problem for many and I have not seen a solution.
What is "wrong" with your Apple ID?
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. -

Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.
Hey there sarunelis,
It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.
Yes hello,
My widgets are not working as well, i looked on forms and it seams that the 10.5 update fix there problems. I also did an archive and install from 10.4... One of the major reasons i purchased the upgrade was to use widgets to clip parts of safari, i'am totaly bummed because all forums i find end with the question un answered. i'am a little bummed becuase there are a couple of things that worked with 10.4 that are not working in 10.5 (like some meg moives not playing.
i do not wish to create a new account because i do not want to reinstall all my software, photoshop, final cut, dvd studio pro.. etc.
i hope to find the fix some how.
I have opened up the console application and when i select widgets load or delete them i see no activity in the console. I'am not familiar with the console app. or command lines.
is there any more info on this matter? is there any support from apple?
Thankyou -

My app store is not working after installing mavericks. When I open app store it repeatedly asking me to login with apple ID and to provide User name and Password for proxy authentication in a loop.I am a newbie to mac,Please help me.
Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.
Let me know how you get on?

The sound in my IPad is not working after I downloaded the new iOS 7. I tried to reset the IPad to no avail. Could anyone be so kind to help me?
I"m going to make the presumption that you've checked the volume and that you don't have it muted. One thing some have suggested is to go into the settings and reset all settings.
It is kind of a drag because you wil have to retweak everything but it's helped for some. -

Safari not working after reinstall
Hi there,
I had issues with my Safari (it woudn't start after the new upgrade), so I had to reinstall it (had to use AppDelete). The reinstallation worked fine, the program now starts (it used to get stuck at the beginning, with the icon bouncing on the dock and doing nothing), but now the browser doesen't seem to go on the internet anymore. All it does is waiting and timing out. Chrome,Opera and Firefox are working just fine. I am guessing the problem is the new installation, how can I fix this? I'm on the latest version of Lion, latest version of Safari downloaded from the official Apple site.
Thanks in advanceIt is not very clear what you did, therefore difficult to recommend something. I understand you upgraded from SL to Lion, and Safari did not work AFTER that upgrade? Strange, does not seem plausible. Or what other upgrade did you do? Safari is a component of the system, and should NEVER be deleted via AppDelete or any other similar app.
As I do not know what you exactly did, I would recommend to download the 10.7.2 combo update (a dmg, around 1 GB), reinstall it as a separate download. After restart, all should be again fine.
How did you reinstall Safari after deleting it with AppDelete? You write ‘The reinstallation worked fine’, could you clarify what you did?
