Safari opens up all my saved pages...

When I start safari on my macbook air, safari opens up all of my pages that I have saved on top. Why does this keep happening? Anyone else who has the same problem as I do?
This problem is not something that all the suddenly popped up after updating my mac or anything. It's just something that happened over night a few months back. I talked with applecare on the phone, but they didn't seem to be able to fix this problem of mine. So now I'm hoping anyone here has a solution!

Open the Safari preferences window and select the General tab. From the menu labeled
New windows open with:
select
Empty page

Safari has deleted all my saved passwords, and not saving any I ask!

Pretty self explanatory...
But just today, Safari seems to have completely wiped all my saved passwords, and I had a lot saved. The pop up box saying 'Do you want to save this password?' is still coming up when I log into an account somewhere, and even if I select yes, it doesn't save.
This is rather annoying, considering I'm setting up a forum, and have to be constantly logging in and out of everyone's account, in an attempt to transfer posts.
Could someone help? Would be really grateful!
Tom
Edit: I'm using Safari 7.0.3

1. Delete Safari .plist file.
     Quit all applications.
     Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
     Select "Library" from the drop down.
     Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
     Right click on it and select "Move To Trash".
     Restart. Relaunch Safari.
2. Turn off Extensions, if any.
     Safari > Preferences > Extensions

Safari open windows all untitled after quitting

When I shut down my computer and then reopen it, all the windows I had open in Safari are now listed as "untitled" I can still go to them, but I have no idea what any of the unlisted numbered windows refer to until I reopen all of them. This question was asked at the Mavericks forum, which I do not have, and I do not have a "Close windows when quitting an application" option in the Safari general system preferences, which was proposed as a fix.
I have Safari Version 6.1.1 (7537.73.11) and OS X version 10.7.5

Does anyone have a reply to this?

Firefox will not open at all, keep getting error message with last 2 saved web pages on it

Yesterday, I closed Firefox. I had multiple tabs opened, so it asked me if I wanted to save them. I clicked YES and closed Firefox.
I had Google Docs open at the time.
Now, when I open up Firefox, everytime, it tries to load the 2 saved pages, then gives me an error message saying that Windows will try to find the solution to why it can't open.
I cannot use Firefox at all now.
How can I fix this?
I have re-installed Firefox completely and it does not work, it remembers my settings.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

No web page address bar when safari loads. When safari opens, it goes to the apple page. All of the sudden, since last night there is no address bar or search bar on top. Just grey. Please helps,

After Safari opens, there is no address or search box on top (or bottom). I can't type in a new web page.
Please help me.
Thank you for any help

Under VIEW, the "hide toolbar" is in bold, so I can not click "view toolbar"
I tried the customize option as well and that doesn't work either.
Thank you so much for trying to help me. I don't know what's wrong with Safari. I restarted the computer and did all updates. Really bummed :)

I just did an update to 6.0 on Lion. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button it re-opens to my home page, not all my previous tabs.. prior to the update it would re-open with all my previous tabs, which is what I want.

I just did an update to Lion 10.7.4 with Safari 6.0. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button, it re-opens to just my home page, not to all my previous tabs as it did before the update. I prefer having my old tabs re-open. How can I fix this?

I've had what I think is the same problem since the most recent software update. I have Lion 10.7.4 and have updated to Safari 6.0. The most noticeable difference is that where previously I had two boxes at the top of the Safari window (one to enter URL addresses, one for Google searches), there is now only one box for both functions. I don't like that as well, but I can live with it. However, since the most recent software update my "back button" only works about 5% of the time. Most of the time it is grayed out. So I usually can't get back to previous pages using the back button. Also, when I've clicked a link that opens a new window (for instance, going through the return process at Amazon, I clicked UPS locator and it opened a new window), where in the past I would have just clicked the red button after I had the information, the UPS locator window would have closed, and I would have been back at Amazon - now if I close the UPS locator window, all Safari windows close. The Safari application doesn't close, but the Amazon window closes, I'm back to an empty screen, and I have to open a new Safari window and reenter everything. I'm using a work-around of clicking on History and selecting the description of the window I want to get back too, but that only works part of the time. In the Amazon example, that's what I did once I had the UPS info, but even though I clicked the correct window description, it took me back to the beginning of the return process & I had to reenter all the info. Of course, that info was easy to reenter, but if I'm in the middle of a complicated process, it's a big problem. I've filed a bug report; I surely hope the Apple engineers are able to fix this. I'm used to using the back button function a lot!

What will back up ALL of my safari open pages, photos, contacts, apps (ETC) if I erase all content and settings so I don't loose anything, iTunes or iCloud???

Sounds like you are in Full screen mode. Run your cursor to the top of the page and click on the blue arrows on the right hand side.

Safari opens to a page other than what I've defined in Preferences

This has me stumped...
I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.4. When I open Safari (6.0.5), it does not open the homepage (Google). Instead, it automatically opens another website (http://pregnant.thebump.com/pregnancy-week-by-week/25-weeks-pregnant.aspx?MsdVis it=1). However, if I click the Home button on the browser, it does go to my homepage. This happens every time Safari is opened, regardless of the last page or tabs that were open the last time Safari was closed. This only happens with my wife's user, and only in Safari. It does not occur if I open Chrome as her user. Things I've tried...
Resetting the homepage preferences in Safari / Preferences.
When I go to Safari / Extensions, there are no extensions listed. When I go to home folder / Library / Internet Plugins, the only one in there is Picasa.plugin. I tried moving it to the desktop, resetting Safari, closing Safari, and the problem still exists when I open Safari back up.
I tried something similar with the Mac HD / Library / Internet Plugins folder. Took them all to the desktop, reset Safari, closed Safari, opened Safari. Problem still exists.
I've tried the Devolop / Empty Caches menu item. I've tried “sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder” in Terminal to reset the DNS.
The only thing that seems to work is when I hold Shift as I open Safari. Only if I do that does it correctly go to the homepage. I'm out of ideas. Help?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState

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.

Is there a way to make Safari open PDF pages without opening Finder and select Reader from my applications folder?

Simple, When I want to open a .pdf page from the web, I get Finder to open and I have to go to my applications folder to pick up Acrobat reader, Is there a way to have Safari doing it all by itself, Preview, or any other program?

Right or control click a PDF file you have on the hard drive then click: Get Info
In the Get Info panel click the pop up menu next to: Open with
Select the app you want to open PDF files from the pop up menu then click: Change All

HT202879 recently saved a Pages document to Dropbox. Now I cannot open it in the new Pages app, and I cannot use the previous Pages version to open it. Attempting to open the document gives me a flash of a page and then the program crashes. Anybody have a

I can go to Time Machine and find the document, even read it in Time Machine, but when I try to restore this version I get the same crash. I cannot open with Text or RTF. Preview opens a fuzzy version and can save out as a .PDF, but when I try to convert the .PDF to Word I get a bunch of unusual characters. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated

OK, I've tried all these tips. Here's what I finally have to do: I open Time Machine. I click on the Pages file and open the Pages file in the Time Machine window. (Restore does not work; nothing works).
When the Pages file opens, I begin taking screenshots using shift-command-3. I take shots of all 200+ pages of this document. The screenshots are saved to my desktop.
I then move all 200+ screenshots into one folder, because, face it, that's too many icons to work with on one desktop screen.
Then I select all the screenshots in the folder at once and open them all in Preview. Then I crop every screenshot using command-K, and save using command-S, and then close that image using command-W.
When I have cropped all 200+ screenshots, I go back through the folder one by one and adjust the color on each one, moving the mid-range color up to about 75% and the sharpness filter up to about 75%, in order to compensate for the fuzzy image of the screenshot. You can't create a searchable PDF with an image that fuzzy. I do this one by one.
I make sure everything is saved.
Then I open all 200+ edited screenshots in Preview and print them out.
Then I take the 200+ pages of this ****** Pages file and run them through my scanner, making searchable 600 dpi PDFs.
Then I go to each of the 200+ PDFs and highlight the text, copy, and paste into a NEW word processing document.
If I'd had 300 pages like the last manuscript, or 700 pages like the one before that, I would have created an Automator program to do all that, but hey, this is not the kind of **** you expect from Apple. Really. It's taken all week.
So thanks for your help guys, but no other suggestions worked. I tried to force a download of the file from Dropbox, but got the same result. Besides, my Dropbox folder is saved locally on my harddrive, so it's not their fault. In fact, there is no data in the Dropbox folder under this file name, only preview files. Somehow the Time Machine will open the complete Pages file while in Time Macine, but will not import the saved Time Machine version to the working desktop because it is a preview (i.e., not Preview) image. This is a Pages problem, not a Dropbox problem. Pages did not save the full file.
If anybody knows a better way to do this, I'd like to know about it. If anybody knows whether I will ever be able to trust Pages again, I'd like to know that too.

Safari won't open to 'all windows from last session'

Safari is set to open to 'all windows from last session' - but it opens to a blank page. Not every time, but 75%+. I usually have multiple tabs open, not always the same ones, and this is slow, annoying and tedious to frequently reconstruct where I left it.
Any ideas?
I just moved to a MacBook from Windows and I am surprised to have an issue like this crop up so quickly (or well ever - based on Apple's reputation, that is - and all the glowing things my firends and associates have told me)

Open a Finder window. From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy / paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
BTW, if you enable the Develop menu you can empty the Safari cache easily instead of having to go through your user library.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Then from the Safari menu bar top of your screen, click Develop > Empty Caches

My Firefox will not open at all. I can't even get in to my user Profile to change that and see if it helps. All of my bookmarks and passwords are saved there!

I did a Windows update this am. As soon as that was completed, my Firefox froze and wouldn't respond at all. I had to close it out. After I tried to reopen it, and it won't open at all. I try to uninstall it to reinstall and it says "Firefox must be closed to complete this task". I checked in my task manager and Firefox isn't running any more. I have shut down the computer a few times. I even did a restore to a previous day, and it still doesn't work. I am so stressed out. All of my passwords and bookmarks are saved there! Please help

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

I use pages to draft forms that i repeatedly use in my business. Last week i drafted a legal document and saved to my file. now i get message that it won't open without newer version of pages but i have the latest version whats up??

I use pages to draft forms that i repeatedly edit and use in my business. Ex: letterhead, envelopes, and legal forms. I recently drafted a legal form
for a client. saved it and then reopened and printed the next day. now when i try to open that form, ( or letterhead or envelope) i get a message that
it wont open and that i need a newer version of pages. but my pages software is up to date. Whats up with this??

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
