Can't open or uninstall Safari 5

I downloaded Safari a while back when offered along with an update notice for iTunes which I use for my iPod but never really used Safari. I rececntly bought an iPhone and wanted to use Safari on my PC.
I could not open it: got this error message: Safari Entry Point not Found - the procedure entry point CFPropertyListCreateWithData could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreFoundation.dll.
So I thought I would uninstall Safari and reinstall but got the following error message: Could Not Open Key - HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\Webkit.CFDictionaryPropertyBag\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnal.
Any suggestions on how to get Safari up and running? I'm only ata basic level technically.

The launch error looks like you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support dll. But the way I go about fixing that involves an uninstall of both AAS and Safari. So we'd better try fixing that Key error first (even if it's unrelated to the apparently-AAS-related launch error).
So I thought I would uninstall Safari and reinstall but got the following error message: Could Not Open Key - HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\Webkit.CFDictionaryPropertyBag\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnal.
We'd better have a look at the permissions on the Key.
In your Start menu, click "Run", type regedit and hit enter.
Expand HKEYLOCALMACHINE
Expand Software
Expand Classes
Expand Webkit.CFDictionaryPropertyBag
Right-click on CLSID. What permissions are currently showing for your user account name, the administrators group, and the SYSTEM account?
(Not sure what precisely you're supposed to see in there because I don't have that particular key in my registry.)

Since the 9/20/13 update, I see a circle with a line through it on top of the Safari application. When I try to execute anyway, I get:
   "You can't open the application Safari because it is not supported on this type of Mac."
I vaguely remember some capability to rollback any updates. Is this true?
Where should I go from here?

First you need to clear out some space on the startup volume. You should have at least 9 GB available. Then do as follows.
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.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

Can't open mail or safari after update

I updated my software when the notice came up and after shutting down and restarting, I can't open mail or safari or itunes. The icons bounce as if starting and then nothing. Can anyone help me with this? I know very little about computers. I am writing this on a PC. (Yikes)

Hi cantfindwan, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Can't open gmail in safari

today i can’t open gmail in safari. of course google is of no help. anyone else having this issue today?

By use of direct login to their site for webmail, there is no issue here.
A few days or up to a week ago, there had been reported issues with
gmail and they managed to fix some causes of that problem. Of course
when you aren't using a client software to access webmail, there may
be less issues than when it is set up to negotiate incoming/outgoing
download/uploads.
The problem may be based on your geographic location, too.

Can't open iTunes, Mail, Safari, and others since Security Update download

I see that this subject has come up in other posts - here's my situation -
I have a four year old Powerbook G4, running on 10.4.11. I downloaded (using Firefox as my browser) Java for OS X 10.4 Release 5, iTunes 7.6.2, and Security Update 2008-02 (Power PC). Since that time, I can no longer open iTunes, Mail, Safari, iChat, Yahoo and MSN Messenger. Software update will not open from the Apple menu, but I can open and run it from the System Preferences panel.
I tried to re-download Safari and iTunes, but the installer won't open the files - just says that the installer closed unexpectedly and to send the info to Apple.
I have used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the HD (my HD is not the original HD, but a new one installed two months ago), and the device, without any success.
Any ideas in where to go from here?

Should I try doing that before I try the Archive and Install?
Running DU from the HD will not allow you to repair the HD, but it will allow you to Verify the HD to tell if you need to boot from the Install disk to actually Repair it.
Should you need/want to do it from the Install Disk...
"Try Disk Utility

Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Also, if I try Archive and Install, will it delete all of my personal files, too, or will these be carried over?
If you use A&I and choose the Preserve Users & Settings, it should just replace the OS' files and leave all yours intact. About the only way it could fail is Power Failure during it, (make sure Laptops have AC power during A&I or Repairs, , updates, etc.), Bad Disk/Directory info to start with, or flaky RAM or some such odd thing.

Can't open PDFs/uninstall program Adobe Reader (11.0.08) MUI

I can't open PDFs, can't uninstall program, I have Adobe Reader (11.0.08) MUI (I don't know what MUI is...), help! I have tried numerous times to uninstall and change the program. Every time I try to do this, a window comes up saying that files are open (Adobe Reader) and to either retry or close. I can do neither, so I'm unable to uninstall the program. I've never had anything like this happen to me. I scanned my computer for viruses, malware, etc. and nothing came up. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I just try to download the software from the Adobe site and see what happens?
Thanks, Tracy

Assuming you are in Windows (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.
And I think it is Multilanguage User Interface...

I can't open "extensions" in safari,

Whenever i try to open "extensions" in preferences, it's just a blank page... I tried to install and uninstall safari, but it didn't work??

Uninstall SIMBL as follows.
Select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar, then enter the following text in the box that opens:
/Library
A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Application Support/SIMBL
LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

I can`t open PDF in Safari

I can't open PDF's in a browser window. It's like the plug-in is not there. I have Acrobat 9 pro. I've been using Safari. Help me.

Hi,
I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
Deleting Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder and delete Adobe Reader Plug In (Finder-Home-Library-Internet Plug Ins---Adobe Reader plug In)
and restart your safari.

Can't open bookmark in Safari

Hi, I am having trouble opening one of my bookmarks that I have used many times. I can't think of anything that I have done recently to change any settings and would appreciate any advice as to how I can remedy the situation. When I click the bookmark I get the drop down message " Safari can’t open the page “http://rh14.pls-inspection.com/”. The error was: “bad server response” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011)"
Help, please, but keep it idiot proof! Thanks. John.

Hi John!
I'm not sure exactly where your original Bookmark led to, but, have you tried deleting the bookmark, then going back to the Login page of prospects?
Before you do that, open the Safari Preferences > Security: Click on Show Cookies.
Locate any prospects Cookies, and remove them.
Or you can simply remove all of the Cookies. But if you do that, you will have to login at any sites that you previously were auto logged into before.
Not really a big deal.
Now go to prospects, login, navigate to wherever you want the Bookmark to take you, and then set that has a new Bookmark.
You can also empty your Safari Cache from the Safari menu.
Click on Safari in it's Menubar.
Select Empty Cache.
Or use the Option + Command + E keys.
Good Luck!

I can't open a new safari window by clicking the icon on the bottom

As above, I want to open multiple window by clicking the icon on the bottom but it does not work.
Is there somebody who helps this problem?
Thanks.

You can only open one Safari window at a time from the Safari icon in the Dock but you can save open Safari windows by clicking on the orange radio button top left in the Safari window. That will save that page to the right of the insertion mark on the Dock next to the Trash for easy access.

Can't open page on safari

This page works GREAT on OPERA 8, but I can't see it on SAFARI 2... C'mon Apple developers, where is the Safari update?? Will we wait until "Leopard" ???
http://www.kylie.com/

There is no guarantees that anyone from Apple will read your post in this user-to-user discussion forum. Also, Safari is built to strictly render pages written to the accepted html/xhtml standards and is not very forgiving of bad, incorrect, or non-standard coding. It is up to web developers to write to standards; it is not up to Apple to make Safari work with every web site.
The site works in Firefox 1.5rc3. Except for three things, I like the site very much. What I don't like are sites that load automatically playing music, especially at the volume your site loads. I also don't like the lack of options to turn the sound off or lowering the volume. I also tend to not like sites that take over my screen by automatically resizing windows. I do see, though, that there are media controls once you get on the main page.
The intro page loads in Safari. Interestingly, the volume is much lower when this page loads in Safari than when I loaded it in Firefox, and is, therefore, much less annoying. The site will not go past the intro, either by letting the intro run through or by clicking on the Skip Intro link.
The W3C Validator found some errors that you might want to look at.

HI,
I would check System Preferences > Internet accounts and see if an item is active for Messages that should not be.
Alternatively delete the account in Messages > Preferences > Accounts.
Highlight then use the - button at the bottom of the list.
You could also use iForgot and check if the ID does in fact belong to you.
NOTE.
An Apple Issued Apple ID (@Mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com) can be used as the iMessages registration ID as well as a Valid AIM Screen Name.
An @me.com could have been issued any time during the MobileMe era and may not be active if it has not been "Converted" to iCloud.
