Can't Use Safari Any Longer.  Too Unstable......

I've tried everything.  I've deleted, reloaded, gotten rid of preferences, deleted all extensions, stopped using Flash and all the other suggested "fixes" all to no avail.  Safari continues to to extremely unstable and usually, right in the middle of doing something impolrtant.  I've gone to using Firefox, which isn't my favorite either, but at least it doesn't crash during use.  These problems seemed to increase/intensify with the latest update.  I can't tell you how many times I reported a "bug" but obviously, it's not a priority even noting that there are many out there with the same issues.  What's goin' on here?  This is not typical Apple!  C'mon guys and gals........let's get this fixed before there's an all out revolt and we all lose confidence with what used to be a great browser.

  • I can't access Safari any longer. Each time I click on icon it states "not a valid address". Deleted Safari and reloaded it, but that didn't help. The same message keeps coming back, "not a valid address". Any ideas?

    I can't access Safari any longer. Each time I click on the icon, it states that "the address is not valid".
    I've even deleted the Safari and downloaded it again, but the same message persists. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

    address bar wasn't accessible, so I did the Toolbar drag back. The invalid address is set as home page in Safari - Preferences - General.
    Tried opening safari again holding the shift key, but made no difference Andy.
    Can I just type in a new address in "home page in Safari - Preferences - General"?

  • Can I use Safari 5.1 + for ipad 4 ?

    Can I use Safari 5.1 + for ipad 4 ?

    Safari updates, if any, automatically come with iOS updates. There is no iOS app store download of Safari.

    I had somebody  work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now  Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail (crashes) and Contacts  do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox, Word, Photoshop and iPhoto etc. How do I get the Apple programs fixed again?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens, but I get the error next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions?

    I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
    Thanks
    Carol

    The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

    What dowes the screen say? If it just say disable and gives not time to retry then you have to restore the iPod
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Virus on my mac and can't use safari

    Surfing the net I came got an alert saying I should call a certain number to get rid of a serious virus.  So now I can't use safari.  One solution here was to go to preferences and disable Java Script, but I can't use preferences.  It is not highlighted.

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

  • HT5037 I have installed the iPhoto Library upgrade, which confirms it was successfully installed, however when ever I try to open iPhoto 11, it refers me back to the bloody library upgrade again, so I can't use iPhoto any more.

    Thanks, it worked first time that  I double clicked as you suggested. 
    Why do Apple make it so hard to upgrade some programs?  They could make the follow through instructions a lot clearer.
    Now I have it open-  it works and.....................  it does look pretty neat.
