How do you start Safari when it keeps crashing

Safari will not load, it keeps on crashing. Do you have to delete or update Safari

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
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. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
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.

  • How to deactivate PSE 8 when Editor keeps crashing?

    Good Day Barbara
    Thanks again for commenting on my problem. Troubles with computers is truly
    a problem for us old guys. Searching the internet hasn't provided definitive
    information. The most straightforward advise was yours. One site said that
    even uninstalling PSE8 wasn't all that straight forward because numerous
    files could (would) be left behind that could (would) create problems in the
    reloaded program. All this leaves me uncertain what to do next. Consequently
    I have elected to contact Adobe Support first, if that's possible, to get
    further instructions. I contacted Adobe on the internet and "spoke" with a
    chap who eventually said to call the 800 support number. I'll try doing that
    tomorrow. Worse comes to worse I'll go ahead and uninstall and reinstall and
    take my chances with what happens. Losing the tagging would be a major
    setback however. On the positive side, this problem is minor compared to
    what life can throw at us. Will let you know what transpires. Have a great
    day.

  • How do you start a loop with an event and end the loop when u release ....

    How do you start a loop with lets say an event of some sort, whether it be holding down a key or pressing the mouse click and then stopping the loop when you release that key or mouse button.?
    double c = 1.8, i = 1, max = 90, exp = 0;
    final double inc = 0.002; //speed at while it increases
    boolean f = false, g = false;
    while (true)
        while (f == false && stopMeter == false) //increasing speed going up to 90
            exp = Math.pow (c, i);
            i += inc;
            pAngle.setText (Math.round (exp) + "");
            if (exp > max)

            } //end if
        } //end while
    } //end whilethis is a snippet of my increasing increments. Its for an angle meter. I can't get it to stop, when the user clicks or does something... the program just gets stuck in an infinite loop. I am still new to java and i do not know how to fix this.

  • How Do You Get Safari Passwords to iOS?

    How do you get Safari-generated passwords to iOS? Manually? Many of my accounts have standard Safari access in OS, but separate apps in iOS.

    Double-clicking in the userid would help. You may have noticed when you start to type in the userid it will fill the userid for you if you started with the correct letter, double-clicking makes it unnecessary to type that first letter correctly.
    Some sites such as Google seem to get lost when you sign in because they already presented a login beforehand. Click on the "sign in as another user", then pick your userid from the drop-down.

  • Ques;How  do you secure imail when used being used in iweb. People can mess

    How do you secure imail when used being used in iweb? People can mess w/my settings in iweb imail window.

    What is iMail?
    And what is an iWeb iMail window?
    iWeb is part of iLife 06 which is an application used to create websites hosted on .Mac.
    Are you referring to Apple's Mail application and webmail access using a browser such as Safari to access your .Mac account?
    Which people can mess with what settings? You shouldn't allow anyone else to access your Mac when logged in to your account and home folder/directory. OS X was designed for multiple users of the same Mac with each regular user having their own computer login account (with or without admin privileges) and associated home folder/directory to store and access their data and settings for their login account only.

    C,
    What type of backup was it? I'm hoping you were using Time Machine or creating a Bootable Clone using Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. If that is the case then I'd recommend starting over so you can restore all your data, applications, settings etc... You missed your first chance when you turned on the new system and it asked if you had another Mac you wanted to migrate from. You can get a  second chance to do this and migrate. Please carefully look over Pondini's Lion Setup Assistant tips beginning where he talks about Second Chance....and make sure you have the proper cable before starting. If your backup EHD has a USB connection that will be fine if it has a FireWIre 400 connection you will a cable like this one from Amazon.
    You can find these at your local computer store, Walmart, Radio Shack etc..

  • How do you start new line in paragraph style?

    New trial user and can't figure out why a seemingly simple operation doesn't work..
    How do you start a new line in a paragraph block?  When I hit the enter key, it just returns to the front of the same line, overwriting the same line over and over again.
    1. Clicked Text tool.
    2. Dragged out a paragraph block.
    3. Started typing and noticed that when it reached the end of the paragraph block, it just wrapped to the beginning.
    Frustrated so could use some help.

    …but also make sure that the No Break option in the dropdown menu (triangle at upper right corner) of the Character Panel is UNchecked:

  • How do you start endnote numbering over in each section?

    How do you start endnote numbering over in each section?

    Breaking the threads between sections won't help you, since the endnotes
    and the endnote references in the text are completely static, regular
    text. (However, if this is a long document, breaking the thread between
    sections/chapters can significantly speed up InDesign, and it's one of
    the first things I do when working on long docs.)
    Now, presumably your endnotes references in the text have a character
    style applied to them? Likewise, hopefully your endnote references at
    the beginning of each endnote also have a character style applied to
    them? If not, the first thing to do is apply a char style to these (make
    2 styles -- one for the refs in text, the other for the numbers at start
    of endnotes).
    Next, is to find a script that can do maths based on a character style.
    Must be one around somewhere...  ... yup, here
    you go:
    http://indesignsecrets.com/free-script-to-change-all-numbers-in-a-document-using-math.php
    So, now you just need to run the script, figure out how much to subtract
    from each character style for each section so that the first note is 1,
    and Bob's your uncle.

  • How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.
