Can't close Safari

What do I do when a program won't close?  I can't close Safari -- I've tried "Command Q", I've tried "Quit Safari" on the drop-down menu (that option doesn't light up and therefore does not respond), and I've tried double-clicking on the Safari icon and choosing "Quit."  Nothing works.

Link to some good information.

    Try to "Force Quit" Safari - either under the Apple menu or by holding down option-Command-esc.

  • Can't close Safari windows

    I can close tabs, but when I get to the final tab, I cannot close the window. Neither can I close any window with multiple tabs open, either by pressing the red close button or with CMD-W. I can minimize the window, however. I've tried resetting Safari and deleting prefs, all to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Saul

    HI Saul and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    First, try restarting your Mac. If that doesn't help...
    Your profile indicates you are running 10.4.11 with Safari 3.0.4
    Tiger 10.4.11 minimum requirements for Safari is Safari 4 with the 2009-002 Security Update installed. Click Safari/About Safari to make sure which version of Safari you are runnig.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

  • Can remotely close Safari tabs on Macbook but not iPhone/iPad.

    I am unable to remotely close iCloud Safari tabs on my mobile devices. iPhone and iPad are running iOS 8, and my Macbook Pro is running Yosemite. I can remotely close tabs from my Macbook, but when I try to swipe to delete iCloud tabs from my iPhone or iPad, I swipe, the red delete button shows up, but then I tap delete and nothing happens - the tab stays there and is still open on the original device.

    I have been experiencing the exact same problems. Any help is appreciated!

    I can't close the safari at the tool bar and when I try to turn off the computer, there's a message which says that I have to close the safari first and then turn off the computer. What can I do?

    Click on the Apple menu and choose Force Quit, or press the Option, Command, and Escape keys. Select Safari.

  • I can't close Safari. the " Quit Safari" is not highlighted.

    Any Idea's whats wrong?

    No idea what's wrong but that also just happened to my wife on her OS X Lion MacBook Pro.  The little "x" that normally appears when you hover over a tab did not show up either, though tabs could be closed through File -> Close Tab.  I ended up force quitting Safari, and when we opened it up again it loaded every single webpage my wife had visited in the past week... with each page in its own window.  Closing all those was a pain, but the "Quit Safari" and the "x" on the tabs were back and the next time we quit and reopened Safari it behaved normally again (just one window opened to the home page).

  • I can not "Quit Safari" it is not highlighted because of that I can not restart computer

    I am trying to figure why I can not close Safari.

    Hold down Option Command Escape at the same time... from the drop down Menu choose  Force Quit Safari.
    Or,
    Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit.

  • I cannot close Safari.  Shutting down computer does not solve problem.

    When I try to close Safari, the Quit Safari option on the menu list is light gray, and I cannot activate it.  I have tried shutting down or restarting my computer from the Apple Icon, but I cannot without closing Safari.  It is a vicious circle!  How can I close Safari under these conditions?

    Hold down Option Command Escape at the same time... from the drop down Menu choose  Force Quit Safari.
    Or,
    Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit.

  • How can you close all pages in safari?

    On my iPad it is possible to close all windows in Safari.
    Is there a similar feature in Safari? Every time I clear the history, the last page remains open.
    How can I close that window as well without having to first create a new blank one?
    Regards

    Yes, ok, but then I still have to open a new page to continue browsing.
    on the iPad i can close all pages and safari for iOS defaults to favorites.

  • I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I have tried all suggestions on the Adobe site and always get the same results. Thanks for any help

    I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.

  • Can not open safari because it has been close unexpectedly.....

    I can't open safari because a window come up saying that it has been close unexpectedly, I can't open safari because a window come up saying that it has been close unexpectedly

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • I can't close one window in Safari.

    I can't close one window in Safari. I'm on an iMac 27", OSX 10.9.4 and using Safari Version 7.0.5. I have several windows open - one with the header in grey (as they appear when not selected) and am able to individually close the other windows. The problem window has several tabs. I cannot close that window. If I try to select it, the top bar remains grey. I've quit and restarted, run disc utilities, run permissions and no problems show. At a loss how to handle this. I do not have this problem with Firefox.

    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.
