Alternatively, go to

How do I empty iTunes cache.. what is a .plist?

Hi, I am using iTunes v7, I have updated my cover-flow and now I keep getting the spinning beach ball, fairly regularly... about every two minutes, and it will spin for a minute or so before coming back...
I have read in the forums that emptying the cache and deleting .apple.itunes.plist... how do I go about both tasks? What is a .plist?
Can anyone help me .... its driving me bananas
Thanks in advance....

Thanks again Meg... the G4 is pretty old now (10 years-ish) but it is a bit of a monster... 2x 500 gig + 128gig HD for Apps and OS only... 2 gig RAM (I know the bus speed is quite slow) Dual 1.2 Ghz CPU's
OS 10.4.11 Radreon 9800 pro graphics.... etc, It only started the spinning ball thing since I updated the album art/ coverflow.... all was fine before then.... I did try a couple of third party apps that were useless and I trashed them... getcoverart... findart.. that sort of thing.
I will try dumping the .plist and do a reboot and see what happens... I will be back.
Thanks again for helping me Meg, I am terrified of losing my library (35 gig) like I have in the past.
Its taken literally years to accumulate.... blooming ball is driving me to distraction tho... itunes just hangs... music keeps playing tho... ???

How do I empty Java cache

I have an iMac running Mavricks. I play a lot of Pogo games and need to know how to empty my Java cache. Any suggestions or input will be welcome,
Thanks,
leonoraofarcadia

Jonathan,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Here's how to empty your Java caches --
Go to your Utilities folder in the main Applications folder.
Double Click on Java 1.3.1 Plugin Settings.
Select the Cache Tab.
Then click on Clear Jar Cache.
That's it.
Now do the same for Java 1.4.2 Plugin Settings.
If I were you, I would also clear the History from the main Safari menu,
Empty Cache from "Safari" (Top left of your Safari Menu)
and check the size of your Icons folder in
Home (Your Name)>Library> Safari folder.
If it's over 1 MB, put it in the trash and empty the trash.
A new one will be regenerated when you restart Safari.
Let us know how you're doing after this, OK?

How do I fix safari on my new macbook pro?

When I open a page in Safari, for example Netflix, and then click on a button, a new window pops up trying to sell me something, for example a "Macfixer" - no matter how many times I close the window, or how many times I empty safari cache and reset it, the problem persists. I have reset the preferences at least a dozen times, and each time I open safari, they have bounced back to "allow cookies", etc.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection

If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Emptying The Cache

How do you empty the cache? Today, I haven't been able to get the site
www.jcpenney.com to load. I keep getting the message that Safari is unable to load the page. I haven't tried the page on my husband's window's machine. All the other pages seem to load okay.

Linda, it works fine for me . . .
Do these, OK?
1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
Empty cache=Safari Menu Bar>Safari>Empty Cache.
History = Safari Menu>History>Clear History.
2. Trash your Icons Folder:
HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
(This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
Hope this helps

I want to empty the Safari cache in OS 10.8.5, but cannot find the cache in the drop down menus. Where is it? Or do I go to preferences-privacy and select remove all cookies and website data?

I received a 'bogus' email saying I had a virus and to click to scan my entire OS. I did not click - I trashed the email.
I wanted to empty my cache but couldn't find it (OS 8.10.8.5) -- In the main menu, under Safari, the only thing I found was to select preferences, then privacy -- where a window showed an option of removing some or all cookies and other website data.
Is that what I should do or is there a cache somewhere on the laptop?
Thanks

You were scammed. There's nothing wrong with your computer. You don't need to empty the cache.

How do I Clear the Cache in Safari 6.1 ?

How do I Clear the Cache in Safari 6.1 ?
In previous versions hitting Reset Safari did this, but not so, in the latest version. Some Browsing info is still stored after Resetting.
I try and be cautious with Web Browsing, and even though Mac's a almost immune to Viruses / Mal-ware threats etc., it's still gives Peace of Mind, to know you're able to 'Delete your Tracks' after browsing the Web

If you enable the Develop menu from Safari - Preferences - Advanced : there's a menu item Safari - Develop - 'Empty Caches' & accompanying shortcut.

Emptying Safari's Cache?

Another problem with this disastrous Safari "update" is that as far as I can see you cannot empty safari's cache. Is this true? This is truly a terrible update and cannot understand how it even got passed!!!
Edit. You apparently have to go to Pref---> Advanced then tick 'Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar'!!!

Thanks a bunch for the info! I have taken an AppleScript & assigned it to an Automator Workflow which in turn I've assigned to iCal to schedule for a weekly or monthly emptying of Safari's Cache. Now websites will always load as they should!
Thanks for your help!

How to empty my cache & cookies

Updated my operating system to Safari 6.0 and can not figure out how to delete my cookies & cache. Option is no longer under preferences tab. Does anyone know?

For some reason Apple buried it in Preferences.
Safari menu > Preferences > Privacy.
To clear Safari's cache you have to enable the Develop menu. That choice is in the Advanced pane. Show the Develop menu, then a Develop menu will appear with the option "Empty Caches".
