Can not quit safari

I am unable to quit safari

In Lion and Mountain Lion (which sounds like a soft drink, by the way), applications start up in the same state they were in when you quit them. If you force quit an application that is chasing its tail, it will just resume chasing its tail when you start it up.
Try adding the shift key to whatever method you use to start the application, and it will start up fresh. That means shift+command+O, shift+double click, Shift+clik on the dock, shift+click on Launchpad. Whatever.
If you don't want an application to open all its windows when it starts the next time, quit the application with Option+Command+Q.

  • Help, I can not quit safari or shut down my computer since updating to Lion.

    Can some one help?
    Since updating to Lion, I can not quit Safari or shut down my computer.

    Several ways to force quit when you can't quit an app normally.
    Go to your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then from the drop down menu select Force Quit.
    You can also force quit an app using the Activity Monitor app located in /Applications/Utilities.
    You should be able to shut down your Mac by holiding down the power button until the screen goes black. Then restart as usual.

  • HT1338 i can not open safari and it says safari quit unexpectedly

    i can not open safari and it says safari quit unexpectedly

    Right or control click the Safari app in the Applications folder then click Get Info
    If you see version 5.1.6 or 5.1.7 in the Get Info panel, updating to Safari 6 may help.
    Apple has not posted a standalone Safari 6 installer, but there is a work around.
    Click here >  Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
    Then click the link posted by:  gregoryfromcork
    That will automatically download this file >  Safari6Lion.pkg.download
    Now quit Safari.
    Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
    Then restart your Mac, try Safari.

  • I can't quit Safari and my screen has occasional jitters.  What's wrong?

    My MacBook Pro has developed several symptoms which I am going to guess stem from Mother Board problems. 
    1  My screen over the last couple of days has spontaneously jittered (not flashed) then the computer crashed.  I could move the cursor but nothing else.  I had to force a restart.
    2  I tried to shut down but now I can't quit Safari. 
    3  I have 10 dark plumes coming out of the bottom of my screen evenly spaced.
    Mother board failure or something else?  What would be the best course of action?  I am going to force quit again and see if I can get rid of the plumes.

    Thank you Andrew.  That solved my dark plumes problem.  I finally got hold of my son who is very good at computer problems and he suggested that I shut down, remove my battery and disconnect the power supply.  Leave it like that for 20 mins or more.  Apparently the condensers sometimes get overcharged and cause strange little problems and that can fix them. 
    I have tried that and so far it is working like it did when it was new.  I will work with it for a few days and report back.
    It does seem like the dark plumes was a separate issue which you solved.
    Thank again

  • I can't quit safari while the hotmail window is open

    What is the problem between Safari 5.1.7 and hotmail? I can't quit safari while the hotmail window is open. I can close Safari from all other websites.

    Hi ...
    You may have better luck accessing your Hotmail account using Mac Mail instead of web based (browser) using Safari.
    Launch the Mail app.
    From the Mail menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
    Click +
    Type in the name, email address, and password then click Continue.
    No more not being able to quit Safari using your Hotmail account.
    If you'd rather not access your Hotmail account via Mac Mail, when you can't quit Safari, try force quitting.
    Several ways to do this.
    Comand + Option + E on your keyboard.
    Or click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit.
    Or by using Activity Monitor located /Applications/Utilities

  • HT5568 I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    Safari is part of OS X 10.7.5, and your downloads should be via  > Software Update...
    Can you provide some details on why you're trying to download Safari?  Did Safari get deleteed from the dock or from the /Applications folder?  Is Safari failing somehow?
    There are ways to re-load Safari using the standard updates, if so.  That usually involves re-applying the combo update kits, but I'd not start with that as a suggestion without knowing a little more about what's causing you to seek to re-download Safari...
    And FWIW, and this may well be obvious to you, but — based solely on your phrasing, as I don't know how familiar you are with this stuff — recognize that sites claiming to offer {Safari or other web browsers, video codecs, flash players, system performance accellerators, anti-virus software,  cache cleaners, games, whatever} can be distributing malware for OS X.  Once the tool is downloaded and installed and authenticated, then the tool can do whatever it wants.  Put another way, please don't try downloading Safari from anywhere.  Please get Safari only from the Apple web site.
