Safari will not load after installing OSX 10.7.5

Question

I recently replaced the hard drive and reinstall MAC OSX 10.7.5 and migrated the the data successfully. Did all the software updates. All software and apps work except Safari. Safari will not open. I did a few of the recommended tips on the discussion boards on here but none of them has worked. I went to ~/library/Preferences and put the com.apple.safai.plist on my desktop and tried relaunching safari. Same issue. I unistalled Safari from my applications folder using appzaper and then reinstalled it. Still same issue. One tip was to restore the system. Unfortunetly this system does not have a time machine backup so that will not work. What other tips do you all suggest i try? I'm currently running Safari version 6.0.2

Answer 1

First, delete the Safari application.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
