Help requested... Safari has stopped working

Safari opens but will time out before opening a web-page... the message I get is "Safari could not open the page 'http://www.ireland.com/' because the server stopped responding".
I get this message for all pages I try to open.
I've had to have Firefox dmg emailed to me and that browser is working perfectly, but I'm keen to sort out the Safari problem.
It's also worth noting that my Software Update is not working at the moment and I can't gain access to the iTunes music store... problems which I feel are linked to my Safari problem.
What have I done to date?
(...mostly from Badlydrawnboy's Unofficial Guide....posted 29 Nov 2005, 14.25...)
1. Reinstalled Safari
2. Reinstalled OS X 10.4.3
3. Repaired permissions
4. Resolved font duplicates
5. Repaired disk (Utilities)
6. downloaded and installed Macaroni to look after my
system maintainance
7. Cleared the Java cache
8. contacted my ISP... as long is I can get online their job is done
9. in Safari I've empty the cache, cleared History menu, autofill fields, cookies
10. checked that I don't have any 3rd party internet enhancing applications whatsoever
Is there a solution out there? Thanks.

Hi ebilko,
A few more things you could try:
- Check Network preferences to make sure you don't have any Proxies selected
- Verify the DNS addresses you have set in Network preferences to make sure they are the ones your ISP recommends
- Login to another account on your Mac to see how Safari behaves there. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed)
Let us know how you get on.

Help! Safari has stopped working!

Safari is not responding at all. There are no error messages or error codes. I closed a shopping web page and Safari did not respond when I tried the next search. Has anyone else out there encountered this problem? What do I need to do to get it running again?

Try these steps in order. This assumes that you are running iOS 7.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
Now close Safari. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Then reboot the iPad and try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Safari 5.1.5 on PC. Windows 7 64 bit. My favorite browser is not working. Please help. I keep getting a window in the middle of a page saying ''Safari has stopped working'''''

Hello.
My favorite browser Safari (5.1.5 ) has stopped working. Yes I know is on a PC. But is been very good to me for a long time, untill about two months ago. I keep getting a pop up message saying "Safari has stopped working" I will close the pop up message and continue working but within a few minute, the message will pop up again. The browser opens up fast as always and runs fine but the message is a pain and annoying. I'm running Firefox now , but I want my Safari back . Please help.

Once the reliability report has been generated, look for Critical events for Safari generated at the time of the "Safari has stopped working" messages. Doubleclick the name Safari in the critical events. (Don't click View solution.) Here's a screenshot showing what to doubleclick:

I generated the problem report similar to the above screen shot " by way of IE 9 " but will not let me copy and paste the contents as a screen shot in reply to your post here . Copy to clipboard did not work either. I might be doing something wrong. Oh well.
By the way , the only difference is- The Problem Event Name of mine is not BEX. but rather : APPCRASH. Fault Module Name : JavaScriptCore.dll. Fault Module Version: 7534.55.2.1. The rest are very similar to the above screenshot. If you need more information then I guess I have to do it all manually. Please let me know. Thanks again.

Windows 7 64-bit: Safari has stopped working

Help needed! I am one of those guys that has to use a Windows machine at Work. So I have a Windows 7 64-bit OS on my work laptop. I use Safari at home on my Macs. Since I have a browser choice, I surely want to use Safari 5 on my Windows 7 machine but so far I am having no luck. Safari runs for X minute (time varies) and then all of sudden crashes with a message "Safari has stopped working." I have uninstalled Safari, manually cleaned up all the Safari folders that go into user account preferences, ran a registry cleaner via WinUtilities so that all traces of Safari are gone. Then did a fresh install with Administrator privileges (I even tried the install with my own login ID) but either way the result is the same -- Safari 5 crashes at random. What can I do to make Safari 5 on Windows 7 stable? Please advice.
Thank you!

Fingers crossed, the problem reports for those errors might cast some fresh light on the source of the problem.
Head into your Problem Reports and Solutions control panel (or the Windows 7 equivalent ... the Action Center?) and look for recent Safari problem reports. Open them up and look through. Do they all seem to be saying the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here so we can have a look.

Go into your Action Center, find your Problem history and look for Safari problem reports that occur at the same time as those error messages. Open the Safari problem reports and have a look through them. Do they all say pretty much the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here so we can have a look.

Hi..
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the AdobePDF browser plugin to the Trash.
Try Safari.
If you have problems locating the plugin...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:

Click Go

Safari has stopped working (MSVCR80.dll)

I get a Windows 7 error "Safari has stopped working". I've tried a number of things (e.g., uninstalling and installing Safari, re-installing Windows 7, disabling plug-ins, disabling Java, disabling Javascript, uninstalling itunes, ran CCleaner, Malabytes, etc.). I'm practically running barebones in terms of running apps. But, nothing seems to get rid of this error. I would try Restore before I saw the error, but the earlier dates for restoring are missing, so I cannot restore the computer to an earlier date before I noticed the problem.
The browser works fine for about 5 minutes, and then gives the error. What can I do to get rid of this pesky problem? I like Safari and want to continue using it, but I am at wits end...

Any thing else to try before giving up on using this browser??

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
Then close Safari. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Now reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Help! CS3 has stopped working

I get an error message from windows vista premiumm home.
It just says: Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. The only option is a box that says "close program". Once you close it everything goes away. It doesn't even give you a hint of what the problem could be. I installed creative suite 3 web premium on this brand new computer about 2 weeks ago. This is a first time install of this software, but when I called Adobe they said they don't offer free installation help anymore on cs3 because cs4 is out now. Anyone have a clue what I should do? I can't just uninstall photoshop, if I try it wants to uninstall all 8 programs.

try resetting the preferences, per this FAQ:

HELP PLEASE - "itunes has stopped working" message....

When I open itunes it opens up but after about 2 seconds a message comes up from Windows saying "itunes has stopped working" and that Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. It then stops checking and a new message comes up saying "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" it doesn't come up with a solution and the the only available option it gives me is to close the program. I got the same problem a couple of weeks ago but it recommended that I install itunes 7.3 which i did and it has worked fine up until today.
It just so happens that I ordered a new 80gb ipod that I'm expecting tomorrow, so any help would really be appreciated.

Are you still having the issue? Do you regularly download podcasts? If so, take a look at the Download folder that appears under the Store on the left side of iTunes. Do you get the message when the Download folder appears?
If so, it might be a "bad podcast". I've been having the above issue for about 1 week and it turns out that there somehow was a bad entry in the list... As soon as iTunes trying to download it, it crashed. I deleted the entry and the problem went away...
It the meantime, I've set iTunes to only Manually download podcasts.

Please help! "Photoshop has stopped working"

Please help me - message: "Photoshop has stopped working" - know what to do ... I can not use the newly installed photoshop program.
My problem is that as soon as (or about 5 seconds) after I opened Photoshop CC, I get an error message stating that "Photoshop has stopped working". I can not use my newly installed photoshop programs.
I have just the "factory reset" my HP PC with Windows 7 operating system. I have updated everything to be updated in Windows and signed me for Adobe CC at Adobe.com. Now I have installed Photoshop CC, CC Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat Pro X1, ExtendScript Toolkit CC and Extention Manager CC.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop to see if the program works for it - but no, it does not. I have also tried holding down the three keys Shift - Ctrl - Alt, In connection with that I open the program (I googled the problem and someone tipped off that there could be a solution to the problem) but unfortunately also without success.
The thing is that all the other Adobe CC program works fully on the computer (InDesign, Illustator and pdf tool Acrobat Pro X1). They work flawlessly.
What to do?
Best Regards

Ever since I downloaded Yosemite Safari has stopped working

Ever since I downloaded Yosemite Safari has stopped working

Dear Dr Mommy,
Please help us help you. MacBook Pros have been in continuous production since 2006 in dozens of variants. Which do you have? The oldest models that "officially" support Yosemite do not always run it well because their hardware falls into the "just barely" category.
Is this the slow computer you asked about last April 8 (15-inch Mid 2009; 4GB RAM)? If so, did you follow the suggestions in that thread about removing MacKeeper and some of the other third-party performance killers that showed up?
Do any of the following apply:
1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?

My Safari Has Stopped Working!

My Safari Browser stopped working after a sudden power outage in our area. I have tried re-installing Safari, re-installing my SBC-Yahoo DSL Modem Software, resetting my DSL modem and nothing works. When I launch Safari the only message I see is "Go To This Address" in the address bar and the pinwheel spinning. What can I do to fix this?

Help! Safari Autofill stopped working for no reason.

My Safari autofill has suddenly stopped working. It used to be that when a form came up on safari I could start filling it out and hit tab and it would fill in the entire form. Now it looks like it might fill in that line, but if I hit tab it doesn';t even complete the line that is highlighted. I think this started to happen after I did the latest OS X software update -- I am now running 10.4.11. I checked autofill on safari and it seems to have all the appropriate boxes checked. And if I go to the pull down menu and pull down edit and do autofill forms, it will do it. But why won't it do it using tab any more?
thanks so much,
Katarina

Safari has stopped working properly since upgrading to Mountain Lion. Have parental controls in place and it will not add websites. Also short cuts at top of tabs now all messed up!

Since upgrading to mountain lion the other day (from lion) safari has not been working properly. I have parental controls in place but seem unable to add new web pages to allowed list - wasn't expecting to have to anyway - these are webpages that were working perfectly well on safari prior to upgrade. Also the shortcuts above the tabs on safari are all now messed up.
Any advice on how to fix - I am not a computer expert so keep it simple please!
In the meantime I am having to use Firefox.
Thanks
Andrew

Go to your Apple store and buy a new charger. Accidental damage, I.e., dropping, is not covered by the warranty.
