10.4 Safari no home page SIMBL trouble

Hi,
When I connect to the Internet I first get 2 SIMBL error messages both about untested plugins, then I click off of them have a blank home page and the address says unable to reach this address.
Bookmarks works fine as does the search engine area.
How do I get my home page back?

Hi Diane,
You need to uninstall SIMBL and the plugins it's referring to. Look in these 4 locations and move Safari related items onto your Desktop to disable them:
/Users/YourUsername/Library/Input Managers/
/Users/YourUsername/Library/Application Support/
/Library/Input Managers/
/Library/Application Support/
If you're not sure which ones to move, list them all here and we can recommend ones to move.

    using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • Safari google home page not searching ?

    I'm having a problem with Google on safari Version 5.1.5 when I open a new tab with Google as the home page I can type what I am looking for, hit enter or the search button on Google and it dose nothing. The only way I can search for something is either using the small search bar in the top right of safari, or type what I want in to Google then click on Google images then click back to the search then it will finally search for it. It has just become a bit annoying and only started doing it the other day. If anyone has any ideas I would be thankfull.

    Hi..
    Empty your Safari cache more often. Go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Preferences > Privacy.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help either, open the Finder.
    From the Finder menu bar (top of your screen) click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Try Safari.

  • Safari default home page

    Is there an option to set a default home page in Safari on an iPhone? Since I'm new to an iPhone maybe I'm missing something.
    TIA

    Not as such. I suspect it's a deliberate feature that it automatically remembers where you were and takes you there.
    If there is a page you check consistently, you might select the plus icon and add it as an icon to the home screen. Hitting that icon will then launch Safari and take you to that site, and still allow you to browse to other sites after.

  • Safari Default Home Page & Search Keep Changing.

    I set the prefs to current page for home page and Google for search, and every so often it changes to Yahoo. How do I stop this from happening?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Every time I open safari my home page load and than it closes.

    Just got my macbook today. When i got it everything worked fine. Than i put in the two disks that came with it and after downloading everything on it this problem arised. When i open safari it stays open for about 3 seconds than safari closes on me. My ichat works and i can check my mail but i can't open safari. If anyone has had this problem or can just give me advice i will be very grateful. Thanks.

    Let's test to see if your issue is user specific or system wide.
    If you do not have one already, create a new user account by going to System Preferences > Accounts, click the lock and enter your password to unlock it, then click the "+" button. Enter the required information and then click "Create Account". Now log out of your usual account, then log in to the new one. Are you able to open Safari here?
    Let us know, we'll keep helping you.
    Best of luck.

  • How Can I Change the Size of My Home Page So That It Fills the Screen?

    I have a PowerBook G4. Up until a couple of weeks ago when I opened Safari the home page filled the screen. Something has happened and now it fills only a portion of the screen. I can move the page around, change the size slightly by using the green button next to the minimizing button, but nothing I do will enlarge it to fill the screen. I have gone to View and Preferences, but find nothing to resolve this. Please help!

    You're welcome Maureen. Glad I could help.
    Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

  • Won't reset home page

    The iBook came with Entourage home page set to Google. No matter how I try, I cannot make a change to another home page stick.(Safari>Preferences>Home page). I have tried entering the address of the home page page I want, and also entering that address on the command line and then choosing "set to current page." Neither works and next time Google re-appears! Even re-starting has no effect. Am I missing a step?

    I checked on my iBook G3 800 MHz which still has Mac OS X 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.2. Setting the Home Page works fine on it.
    Are you choosing "Use Home Page" from the drop-down "New windows open with:" menu after entering the page you want to use as your Home Page? I have tried both entering the URL and "Set to Current Page" and am able to select my Home Page and have a new window open to that Home Page either way.
    Personally, I prefer having a new page open to an empty page, so that's the way I have mine set. Are you able to set it to do that?

  • Losing home page

    Just recently, we have encountered the following infrequent problem: opening Safari, no home page is opened and the 'home' toolbar item is disabled. It is easily fixed by resetting the homepage in preferences. Some days later the problem occurs again.
    Is there a 'clear home page' key combination we are accidentally finding? Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thx

    No we don't use either - but I will check to see if any MobileMe settings might be set in SystemPreferences when I can wrench it away from my daughter

  • Safari 4 can't open Apple Home Page?

    Starting yesterday when Safari 4 top sites page showed me a star on the Apple Home Page thumbnail, I go to www.apple.com and get a "Slow Script" error message telling me that S4 is no longer responding for that reason. What's up with that?

    Several times a day I get this message "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.apple.com/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding."
