All of a sudden I cannot launch Safari because of popup saying cannot support community toolbar?

I am getting pop up saying "this version of Safari browser cannot support community toolbar" therefore I cannot launch Safari. ????

Try Safari forum. I know the issue with toolbars has come up in the past so you could also search this forum.
Security updates and new versions often do affect extensions and functionality.

Safari icon changed and cannot launch safari, Safari icon changed and cannot launch safari

Safari icon changed and cannot launch safari

Try these things first:
1) See if the Safari icon in the Dock is linked to the Safari application. Command-click on it and see if it shows Safari in the Applications folder. If not, the alias on the Dock is corrupted, or it is no longer pointing to where Safari is (hopefully, Safari is still in the Applications folder).If Safari is in the Applications folder, but the Dock icon did not properly find it, remove the old icon from the Dock and drag Safari onto the Dock to establish a fresh icon and link to the Application. If Safari cannot be found, do a Spotlight search for it, or restore it from a Time Machine backup (if you have one). If not, download it and reinstall it.
2) If you can locate Safari from the Dock and it still won't launch, then trash Safari's preference file. From your Finder, Option-click on the Go menu and scroll to select the Library folder. Open the Preferences folder and locate the com.apple.Safari.plist file. Send this to the Trash and try to relaunch Safari.
Hope this helps!

I am unable to quit or launch Safari. (Quit Safari option is not highlighted in menu) I cannot logout without quitting Safari. Can anyone help?

MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.5; 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7; 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I Cannot launch Safari or quit Safari. The Quit Safari option is not active or highlighted in the Safari menu. I tried to shut down and Log Out but cannot because Safari must close first. I have checked for software upgrades and there are none. What do I need to do to use Safari Or shut down Safari?

Hey there KeelyBoley,
If you are still not able to quit Safari, or shutdown/restart your Mac, I would force quit the application with any of these instructions that work for you:
OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
Choose Quit by right-clicking or control-clicking on an app's icon in the Dock.
If your app does not close using the steps above, use any of these steps to force the app to quit:
Switch to another app, such as the Finder, then choose Force Quit from the Apple menu. Select the unresponsive app in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Press Command-Option-Esc, then select the unresponsive app from the Force Quit window that appears, and click Force Quit.
If Safari continues to become unresponsive such as in this case, a 3rd party plug-in may be the culprit, and this article will help you troubleshoot that:
Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Can't launch Safari after upgrade to 10.5

Dang Upgraded to Leopard (OS 10.5) from 10.4.11. When launching Safari, it refused to start and sent me error message "PithHelmet version xxx.xx.x hasnt been tested with Safari 3.x so it won't launch."
After that, I have disabled and removed PithHelmet from the system. No go. I have tried indtalling new version of Safari after deleting ALL Safari files: No go. New Safari won't even install. It says "System need to be 10.5.2 or later" but I DO have 10.5.4 now!
What on earth can I do?

This is a common mistake, so you should take note to avoid doing this in the future. Just because a program isn't working for you is not a good enough reason to delete it, especially when you have no idea of the ramifications of your actions, which you and many others who have done this obviously didn't. You've created a lot more work and frustration for yourself, and you solved no problem.
If you want to install Safari, you cannot use a download, so you might as well trash it now; it will not work no matter what you do.
Instead, you need to do this, exactly:
1. Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
2. Navigate to the Optional Installs folder and open the Optional Installs.mpkg file. This will let you install Safari 3.0.4. When that's done, quit the installer and eject the disc.
3. Reboot your Mac and download the 10.5.4 Combo Update and install it again. When finished, use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, then restart your Mac and try Safari.

Can't launch safari 4.0.3 in Leopard, 10.5.8

every time I try to launch safari, the icon bounces in the dock for almost a minute, then stops and a dialogue box pops up and says "The aplication Safari quit unexpectedly, Mac OS X and other applications are not affected" I have reinstalled safari, and repaired permissions, and made sure that all software updates have been installed

Start by performing a bit of maintenance:
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

After upgrading to Safari 6.0 (running 10.7.4), when launching Safari, Mail also launches. How do I disable Mail from launching simultaneously?

Whenever I try to open only Safari, Mail automatically launches. I cannot seem to figure out how to stop it from doing this. I am certain that this is not about programs launching at login. It only began after I did the Safari 6.0 update. I cannot find anything in preferences on how to stop Mail from launching.

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit Safari again.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
rm -fr $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.Safari
Quit Terminal. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
(Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that will have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

When launching safari all my tabs are gone ?

sometimes when launching safari all my tabs are gone ? why ???
and secondly why i have to relogin in this apple discussion every time i turn off my computer ?

Another way would be to open System Preferences > General, and untick "Close windows when quitting an application". This applies to all applications."
DONT SEE THAT OPTION IN MY SAFARI PREFERENCE ???
"Another way is to open Safari menu > Preferences > General, and you will see an option that allows you to open Safari with the tabs opened."
ONLY SEE AN OPTION SAYING "SAFARI OPENS WITH ALL WINDOWS FROM LAST SESSION" WHICH I HAD ALREADY TICK ON BUT SEEMS NOT WORKING EVERY TIME FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASONS !! ??

"Safari quit unexpectedly" Error message. I cannot reopen Safari at all

I can no longer open Safari. Get error message "Safari quit unexpectedly" I cannot reopen Safari. Read article on removing malware and removed tuneupmymac, still can't open

If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)

(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
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 rarely helpful.

How do I stop mail from opening when I launch safari?

Can someone please let me know if there is a way to stop mail from opening when I launch safari.

Find Out How Video tutorials
Switch 101
Next, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support when you buy any new Mac.

Can't launch Safari due to error message

I can't launch Safari anymore. It says it is missing some important resources and I have to reinstall Safari. I have done so, but it still does not work.
Here is the error message;
The procedure entry point SQLite3_wal.checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.
Can someone please help me? I have rebooted my computer, uninstalled Safari and reinstalled it without any luck.
Thank you very much

Just so you are aware, Apple no longer suports Safari for Windows.
If you don't want to use IE, try Firefox for Windows > Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
Much more user friendly than Safari.
