5.0 won't work - extensions message is "localized string not found". When I force it to try to load a new window it shows a gray screen with the bookmarks on top then immediately closes and wants to report the error. Has been this way since 5.0 came out.
I first tried downloading Safari when the 5.0 update came out last year. When I choose the app in the dock, I get the blue top bar (Safari, File, etc) but nothing else loads. I uninstalled the app and tried again several times, but no success. For over a year now I've used Firefox as a result. Today I thought I'd try again, but same results. When I choose "new window" in the file menu, I get a small gray window with my bookmarks on top, then in a few seconds, the app quits unexpectedly and the report an error screen appears. I've unchecked all the languages in the information area for the app, cleared all history, cookies, and cache. Still the extensions tab in the preferences area has "LOCALIZED STRING NOT FOUND" in 4 places. It won't show what that means when I click the "?". Will I ever be able to use Safari again?
Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
-> Profile in use
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use]
Check and tell if its working.

i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
How to fix Safari 5.1 Preferences and Extensions from displaying "localized string not found"
I'm on a MacPro Dual Core, just recently upgraded to Lion but Since then Safari has been misbehaving.
First of all when I go into Safari Preferences in the Privacy section all that it shows is "Localized string not found" this shows up in all the button options of that section.
I also noticed the same problem, this time on the Preferences/Extensions secion when I installed the 1Password extension from Agile, which it's not working properly either, it actually displays the same "Localized string not found" copy in all of the items.
I'm following up on this issue with Agile but what makes me think that it's a Safari problem is the fact that this is also happening on the Privacy area of the Preferences even though I unistalled the 1Password extension.
Has anyone had similar issues, both with Lion's Safari 5.1 Preferences/Privacy or Extensions displaying "Localized string not found" or with 1Password not working properly?
Thanks in advance.Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
For Lion: To see your Home library, hold down the Option key while selecting Go in the menu bar.
If deleting the .plist file didn't help, go to ~/Library/Safari/Extensions.
Move the Extensions.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try Safari.
Also, you may need to check the 1Password site for updates for Lion / Safari 5.1 compatbility. Apple is not responsible for updating third party software. -
In any window, while using any application, the browser crashes and closes. I've attached the last 5 crash IDs. This is particularly vexing, as I work to deadline and am regularly losing huge blocks of text due to crashes between constant saves.
Are there any available patches, fixes, etc, for this problem, or will this require straight uninstalling? I'm at a loss and appreciative of any help available.In any window, while using any application, the browser crashes and closes. I've attached the last 5 crash IDs.

I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -
When ever I try to watch any video, from a link or YouTube say, using Firefox, I get a message ‘An error as occurred. Please try again later’. It has been this way for some weeks. I don’t have this problem using Safari or Opera.
I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck. -

Your Device is in Recovery Mode and needs to be connected to the Computer you Usually Sync with.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps..
Once you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

I have 3 phones on one Icloud account. They have been this way for over a year. After an update last week one of the phones started getting messages for all of the other lines. We fixed this under the send and receive under settings. It was fine for a few days. Suddenly it started happening again. Yesterday after two hours on the phone I changed my apple id and it is still happening. Before that Verizon had told me to turn off my imessage when that happened I could not get any texts at all from other Iphone users.
Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage. That will permanently fix your issue.

I just purchased a new iMac to replace our older one. We are giving our older one to parents and want to wipe the HD. The discs I have for my old iMac is for version 10.5 but I'm currently running 10.6.8. Is there a way to wipe the HD and keep 10.6.8?
No. Wiping the HD will erase the OS on it.

I have an early 2009 17 inch MacBook Pro that just went on the fritz. When turning on the power it will go into boot up mode to the gray screen with the apple logo, then the disc icon will be running and will continue running, not allowing to proceed to my desk top screen. It's pretty much locked up at this point where I have to do a forced shut down by holding down the power button. I've tried everything that I know of such as taking battery out and pressing power button for 5 seconds and then reinstalling battery. I've cleaned inside of computer with compressed air duster in can as well as other key commands for resets. I've read that this is a common problem with the earlier MacBook Pros. Is this a problem that I can fix or does it have to be taken in for service? Any solutions to the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem. Here are steps to resolve the former.

AS soon as I log in I get this screen "Setting Up Your Mac..."
It has been on the computer for quite a while and I can not get back to my desktop.
Please help. thanks!Here was the answer I found that worked:
Command-Shift-Option-Esc (hold for three seconds) for Force Quit the front-most application (Mac OS X v10.5 or later)
That got to me a new page where I had to enter my security key chain ID, but then wouldn't go any further. So i have rebooted - and lo and behold it opened up OK. It has asked me for a security question, but it now seems to be working OK!! Thanks - hope you get your problem sorted also. I should have copied the name and did not...sorrry. -

My ipod has over 7,000 pictures and there are 5,00 i could easily delete but it wont let me do anything! it just has a loading symbol that converts into an apple logo and then back again. Ive tried pressing down the home and sleep/wake button down at the same time for 10 seconds. The apple logo does appear, but it goes back to the loading symbol or a white screen. Its been like this for 24 hours and is unresponsive. Please help.
- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
Please help, when I try to turn it off it is no longer an option.
If you have an email that is a exchange/corporate account, their policies may force your account to have a passcode. I had a phone without a lock code, added the email account, and it forced me to put a lock code on the phone. And the option to remove code disappeared. When I removed the email account, the option to remove the passcode reappeared.
