Can't open any windows in Safari even after re-install

I can't open any windows in Safari, even after installing Snow Leopard, not even the "About Safari" info window. I'm using Firefox to get online. I can open the program itself, but can't do anything else. I'm suspicious that it may be a virus, because I'm getting some weird messages on restart, such as asking me if I want to use some wireless network I never heard of, and if I want to give somebody access to my Twitter account - very strange. My son was using a website when this happened.

Greetings,

Not possible, since there are no viruses for Mac OS X. You should ask your son what site he was one and whether or not he downloaded and installed anything. And you should turn off wireless networking and delete any networks that you didn't specifically setup. Use Ethernet to connect to your modem/router for Internet access.
Are you sure that Twitter is asking to give somebody access to your account, or just authorize them to follow your tweets? I've never seen Twitter do the former for anyone, ever.

  • Can't open any windows app...

    I can't open any windows app from yesterday in my windows 10  version 9879.
    all of the windows app(metro app)...
    It's urgent...
    can anyone help me?

    Are you having the same problem where either Email app won't open up or the PC Settings keeps blinking but refusing to stay up?
    I've tried a restart but nothing changed. So, I'll guess we'll have to wait patiently until they find a solution for the next big patch/Windows update.
    I get the feeling that recent update may have done a little harm than progress but guess that's why it's still in the Beta stages before release.

It happened right after when i deleted some files i was trying to uninstall the useless app and i think i accidently deleted some system files.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • Can't open new windows in safari

    I have been using safari for years. I upgraded to the safari 3.0 Beta some weeks ago and had no problems everything ran fine. I have done nothing irregular and today I fired up my computer - opened safari and found that no window would automatically open. I tried to open a new window - nothing.
    I tried opening a new tab which opened a window but no toolbar and a tab twice the width. then went to view to view toolbars which then loaded up but any address or google search is not recocognised.
    I have gone thru everything including deleting all safari files, uninstalling beta and full reinstall no luck, no change.
    Has anyone got any suggestions or seen this problem before.

    Is there a way to revert to Safari 2.0?
    Yes, as AussyWesty says, the Safari beta installer includes an uninstaller. Run that, and you will be reverted to Safari 2. Whatever you do, do not throw away or move the Safari 3 beta application. The uninstaller has to see that application in place in order to do its work.

  • Please help. The Finder has crashed I guess, no icons on the desktop, menu bar and dock flicking. Can't open any app, folder or even do a right click.

    Good day, I could really need some information. Thank you in advance.
    I have a 2008 24" iMac, running on 10.5.8.
    I want to describe the whole issue. The only thing that changed in my routine and made it crash was that I bought a new Apple keyboard, with a wire this time, before I was using a bluetooth one, and a new wireless Logitech mouse. After I successfuly connected both, while browsing in Safari, the computer totally lagged. All I could do was to manually restart it. When I started it again, it said that the "ruby" application has quited unnexpectedly. After clicking ignore, I observed that the icons on desktop haven't loaded, the menu bar is constantly reopening itself, I can't right click, if I try to open Sistem Preferences that is as far as it will allow me to go, if I click anything else than, it closes system Pref. and leaves me again with this flicking menu bar, which of course I can't even click and an empty desktop. I couldn't see if the problem is only related to my user, as there is only 1 user on it. I tried to create a new one, but I get the problem mentioned above.
    I try to see here on the forum if other people have had the same problem, but what I got was minor cases, they can still use finder or an app, everytime I open something, it dies and I only can restart the poor thing
    I hope I don't have to delete all my info on my drive, that would be a big problem for me.
    Solutions, recommendations?
    Thank you.

    Hi Paul,
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Can't open new windows in Safari 5.1.2 for Snow Leopard

    I have downloaded the 10.6.8 combo update and of course installed the new version of Safari.  Now I cannot open a new window (whether it is a link or if I do apple-n on the keyboard).  I must be missing something here that must be very simple to fix this, but I have tried everything.  I might have to find an old link to a 5.1.1 site and download that version again (it was working fine before I downloaded the new version)
    Any help would be appreciated!  THANKS!

    Try emptying the cache and resetting Safari.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Try a new window.
    If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset. Try again.
    If that didn't help, go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari / Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    Try again.

  • Flash CS3 Default.xml not found, can't open any windows!

    So, here's the story. I am now running CC, but I have a very old Flash file that needs to be updated that uses action script 2. I still have a version of CS3 on my computer, but I get this error when I try to open a file:
    The following panel layout is missing or could not be read:
    /Applications/Adobe Flash CS3/Configuration/Workspace/Default.xml
    The application will not have a correct layout. Please load one from Windows—>Workspace Layout
    I click ok, the file opens, but I am unable to get any of my windows (layer, properties, etc) to appear, and Windows—>Workspace Layout does not exist as far as I can see. The last time I opened this program was probably a few years ago. (Not sure if this is relevant, but I recently got a new hard drive, upgraded to Mavericks, and migrated all the files & folders back to this computer with migration assistant) I just need to make some really quick adjustments to this old flash website, please help!
    thanks

  • How can I open one window in Safari with a tab?

    When I open Safari, the window opens up but not in a tab. I prefer the single window being in a tab.

    I'm guessing you're talking about new Safari windows are opening up in Windows rather than tabs..
    Go to Safari > Preferences > Tabs tab > set the option there.

  • Can't open any e-books not even the sample one

    I have installed Adobe Digital Edition 4 on my PC and am trying to open a e-book,. when I download a book and click to open the message "Fullfuling the "name of the book" pops up. Once the fulfulling is done nothing appears in the Adobe Digital Edition. What am I doing wrong? Restarting the computer and uninstaling and later re-installing the Adobe Digital Ecdition did not help. Thank you

  • TS3899 after updating to iOS 6 I can't open any email from safari?

    Updated to ios 6 last night but now I can't check email on safari. It says I've timed out. But it says that no matter which email account I'm trying to use. Thanks

    Well, I would still try it out on another network to perhaps isolate the issue to your own home Wi-Fi network. It nothing else, head to Settings -> Safari and clear out the cache, history, and cookies. Then reset your device by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Once you are connected to Wi-Fi again, try logging into those email accounts.

  • Acrobat trying to open pdf's in Safari even after uninstalled.

    A lot of people have had this problem that after an Acrobat update, safari now opens pdfs with Acrobat (a bit obnoxious of them), which is slower and clunkier than Preview.
    Many have written that clicking "get info"on a pdf, and "open with preview" plus "apply to all" fixes this problem. It does not.
    I uninstalled Acrobat. Now Safari doesn't do anything with pdfs at all. It just opens a grey page.
    How do I convince Safari to open pdf's with Preview again? I'm using mavericks.

    Single-click a random PDF file. Press command+I (eye). This will pop a Get Info window over the top of Safari if it is open.
    Just below the Comments section, you will see Open with: and Preview is selected. Click this selection, and instead, choose Adobe Reader. Below that is a Change All... button. Clicking on this will produce the following dialog:
    Select Continue and Acrobat Reader will now be the default application that opens PDF files. If you later change your mind, follow these steps and reselect Preview.

  • Mail doesn't open any windows

    When I go into imail - I can see and read the contents in my inbox/outbox, but cannot open any of the messages.
    Likewise I cannot open a window to write a new mail. Infact I can't open any window at all, including the Mail / About Mail pop up window.
    This suddenly happened this morning shortly after sending a mail.
    Anyone had a similar problem?
    Or know how to rectify it?
    Yours, bemused in Belgium

    Create a New User Account on your Mac, and as that New User open Mail and if it does crash set up one email account as a test. If a POP account, set it to leave messages in the server after download.
    See the following if not familiar with adding a new user account:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    This will test the app itself vs your current User Account.
