Downloaded Safari 3.1 & now safari or email does not open at all.

I downloaded the newest Safari upgrade on my mac mini and now it won't open safari or mail! I'm using a different computer to get this out. I'm afraid to re-intall the original software that came with the mac mini because I may lose everything. Any suggestions? I need help!

My computer has done the same thing (I am on my sister's computer, she has a MacBook, I usually use my iBook G4)
I was playing on WoW (yes, I know, I am sad) and an auto-update came up, I did install all (there was about 6) but half way through the last one, my internet cable came out and the auto-update said failed.
The screen then came up saying 'You need to restart or shut down your laptop for the software' but I was in the middle of something and so I left it. Later on, the laptop ran out of battery and when I had got the charger and plugged it in I realised it had turned itself off. I though nothing of it and re-booted it.
When the laptop had loaded again there was no auto-update, but there was a MacBook EFI Firmware Update, it said 'Read these instructions and then follow them' I didn't really want to get a new update for the MacBook on my sisters so I left it and went onto Safari.
The screen came up saying 'Safari quit unexpectedly, retry?' So I clicked retry, and the same thing happened. I sent a report to apple saying what I had done and then left it. I came back the next day and Safari couldn't open still so I sent another report to apple. Safari still isn't working so I sent Safari across from another laptop I have. I still couldn't open it. I then sent Firefox across from the other laptop, which is what I am on now, but I would really like Safari back.
Thanks for any help

Safari 5.1 does not open local html files

Safari 5.1 does not open local html files (with .htm or .html extensions). It fails on files that previous versions of Safari opened. Firefox continues to open them. Any suggestions?

Turn this option off:

I did not use my computer yesterday, and now all of a sudden, Firework does not open at all after clicking on its icon or starting as a program. I did not download any upgrades or anything else, and I have Norton 360 version 3. I can open Internet Explorer, but that's not my default browser, so I have no problem with the Internet connection.
What could be the problem, how can I restore my browser without losing my bookmarks, settings, etc?

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]]. Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] Update Firefox, see [[Updating Firefox]]

Firefox does not open at all since I updated to version 3.6.4, not even when I re-download it.

Firefox crashes (does not open at all) since I updated to version 3.6.4. Not even when I re-downloaded it several times. Now, even the old version doesn't start. I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.4. It doesn't show that pop up window that explains why it crashed. It just stops and quits.

Hello everyone.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
In any case, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Safari does not open at all- how to proceed?

Safari 5.1.5 will not open at all - the dropdown menus are greyed out. My OS is Lion 10.7.3 - (iMac) I cannot download and install an earlier version and Mac won't let me get rid of Safari 5.1.5. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Downloaded Latest Itunes but now it does not open at all, with no error msg

I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes for my Laptop. I have recently moved my internet to my laptop so i have been updating software for the past two days.
However, when the download of Itunes is finish i can not open it. There is no error message at all, it just does not open, it just begins to load with the 'hourglass' waiting symbol and then stops. I can't open it at all.
I am runnin on Windows XP and had no previous trouble with the older version of iTunes. I am now regretting that i even updated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Claudia.

I had exactl the same problem, it drove me crazy for about one week. Actually both 7.1.1 and any 6.x version didn't want to install on my PC.
7.1.1 just downloaded ok and than after running it terminated with no message and no action.
I tried almost everything: from manually removing all WinXP Registry entries to checking the entrire Win installation.
I also tried to download itunes from a different PC, but again same result.
Finally, I gave it a try to download iTunes from a different web site and... everything worked flawlessy!!
The only conclusion I came to is a possible issue between my network/firewall/ISP settings and Apple download services.. very hard to justify in real world but I can't think of anything else.
So my advice is to look for another web site hosting iTunes for donwload and give it a try!
Good luck
Diego

I have upgraded from firefox 4 to firefox 5 and now it crashes and will not open at all just produces an error box to submit the fault. I have submitted and now cannot use firefox at all cannot open it cannot use it cannot do anything with it.

I wish I could go back to version 4.
Have spent hours now .
Upgraded to 5 and now completely useless, will not open at all please help

I have this problem with Firefox 5.0 too. You are forced to reboot when access to 5.0 is denied. I had so many problems with 4.0 as well. I am so tired of the crashes and seeing that popup window to send your comments, it is ridiculous. I also find in 5.0 that mouse controls are fruitless and sometimes take over. The pages will jump forward or back, the pull down menus do not function, clicking boxes in online email don't work and pages will zoom in or out by themselves. I have three computers with different operating systems that this happens with. All these updates by programmers are crap. I thought I set firefox to not update automatically, since updates seem to be worse than the previous version, but it happens anyway. I will surf for an older version or switch to something else. Too bad because after 10+ years, they are losing my loyalty.

Email does not open - "COMMUNICATION ERROR. TRY AG...

I bought NOKIA x2-2 Version 11.57 just a month back. Whenever I update email service and try to open email it does not open but a message comes saying "COMMUNICATION ERROR. TRY AGAIN LATER".
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks

Hi mhkhandaker,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
In order to fix this issue, I advise you to perform a soft reset on your phone: type *#7780#. Default lock code is 12345. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset. First of all, back up your data using Nokia Suite (Tools > Back up). Once your data is fully backed up, type *#7370# on the keypad.
Alternatively, you may also check for updates on Nokia Suite (by going to Tools > Updates).
Then open the e-mail app again.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.
Regards,

My iCloud email does not sync to all my devices

My iCloud email (yes an @me address) does not sync to all my devices. My phone and mac sync perfectly, but my iPad never updates. If I have my mac and phone on the mail program and I archive an email it works instantly on both devices. However my iPad seems to be in the stone age. Even though I've archived all my mail and my inbox is empty on both my mac and phone my iPad still has a notification for 28 new emails going back to last week. Its like my iPad is completely seperate.

Like I said its seemless between my phone and mac. I can archive on my phone and it will immediately disappear from my iMac and vice versa. Its odd that it works on one iOS device and not another... And when I say my emails don't archive on my iPad I mean it shows the last 50 emails (because of my settings) from my inbox like I haven't already archived them already. So I have emails on my iPad from 9 days ago =\

I downloaded "MFInstall.exe" to view image. Firefox 'restarted' as per instructions - and now f/fox does not open at all - not even in safe mode.

Hi,
I was on a genealogy site using Firefox. I was asked to download and install " MFInstall.exe " which I did. The final instructions were: Firefox will restart and you will be able to continue.
Firefox closed (two windows), and will not open. I have access on quicklaunch (Vista) which has no response to clicking.
I still have the icon in the start menu - right=clicking at first gave me the option to 'start in safe mode' (with no response). Now clicking the icon there does not show this anymore.
I tried to 'run as admin' with no reponse.
I have found the MFInstall. exe file in my download folder. I will delete it if you think that will help.
I have CC cleaner which doesn't find it when I ask (I guess 'cause it's inside F/Fox?)
If you have any ideas, I would be most grateful. Thanks.

Solved. (or resolved)
G'day. I'm visiting on my Firefox browser - Yay. Thought I'd update this. After I wrote this last night, (with IE browser) the confirmation e-mail's link wouldn't even work.
I deleted the offending program. I used CC Cleaner to run through the computer. Still no go. I went to bed with AVG scanning everything.
I woke to find AVG had done it's work, finding 2 problems and fixed. Still no access to mozilla.
I shut down whole computer (intending to start in safe mode). Got distracted and missed the bootup prompt. Logged on anyway, so I'd have something to tell the 'help' line here.
Woo hoo! I must have done something right, because here I am, via the link in last night's email.
The offending program was via 'Ancestry . com'. I'm off to tell them now.
I'm hoping this might assist someone else. Take care - Jo

Safari 7.1 does not open on macbook pro

After updating Safari 7.1, I can not open the app. Click on Safari icon and nothing happens. I have OS X 10.9.5 installed on Oct 3rd.

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.
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.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. 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.

Safari does not open at all.....

Everytime I click on the safari button in my dock, no page loads, and I am forced to force quit it because it does not respond. Help please!

I have the same problem. And no, opening Safari from the Applications folder doesn't help either. The other programs seem to work fine.

Upgraded to 4.0 now my Tiscali email does not work but it does with Internet Explorer?

I uploaded the new Firefox version 4 and when I access my Tiscali email account and open the mailbox it states 'you have undefined email' and will not let me into the 'inbox'.
I can access my extra mail account which is TalkTalk.
If I open Internet Explorer I can access and use my Tiscali email account no problem.
I prefer to use Firefox as I have used for years but if I cannot fix this I will have to Internet Explorer.

If it works, then OK, I was right the first time. I thought about it last night and came to the conclusion it couldn't be correct which is why I amended it this morning. Oh well...

I just upgraded to v3.6.26 (from v3.6.24 or 25) now Firefox does not open at all - no error, no nothing.

I chose 'restart Firefox' after the upgrade, but it didn't open. I tried double-clicking on the desktop icon, then Start -> Firefox, but absolutely nothing happens. There was something on the upgrade page which I didn't read ( ! ) about Firefox not opening after this upgrade when certain files were missing. Any diagnostic help appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply, but that didn't work. I went to my Norton 2009/2010 settings as per the instructions, and removed Firefox, and re-added it, and it still doesn't open. (I got a message saying 'you're trying to add a program that already has rules'.)
I went back to v3.6.x after initially upgrading to v4 and had so many problems I un-installed and went back to the previous version (internet searching revealed that everyone who had my problems had done the same). The latest versions of Firefox also have myriad problems. I just want it to work! And v3.6.24 DID work. But now, I have no Firefox at all. :-(

Email does not open when I click on it

when I left click on any e-mail nothing happens. The e-mail will not open. This only happens on my Mozilla Firefox account. How can this be corrected?

HI lampken,
Unfortunately in order to clarify how you are accessing email, are you accessing email in webmail or Thunderbird?
Also, when you say it only happens with the Firefox Account, does this means it only happens when you have a sync account attached to the browser profile when you go to the webmail site and open an email? And if so, what email site does this happen on?
Thank you!

Downloaded Safari 3.1 & now safari or email does not open at all.
