How frequently to delete/reset Safari plist & repair permissions?

Seems I am having to do this about once a week to keep Safari running. Feedback please.

Safari has had intermittent issues with hanging and slowness loading a page since I've had the machine.
It obviously shouldn't be like that. Try this:
The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.220
208.67.220.222
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
Any improvement?

How do I delete ALL Safari bookmarks?

I am currently using a MacBook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.2 and Safari 5.1.2 and would like to know how to delete ALL Safari Bookmarks.
I have selected the various titles under Collections and selected all the bookmarks on the right and deleted these. However, not that there is a Bookmarks section on the left just as there is a Collections section. The bookmarks under this Bookmarks section are the one's I can't seem to delete all of without selecting each individually. I believe these bookmarks might have been what was imported from my PC bookmarks when I converted. However, I would like to be rid of them and there are a lot to remove. It would be very nice if there were a less time consuming way to accomplish this task. I've gone to find this plist file that I've seen mentioned in the support archives and I don't know if I don't understand the structure of Macs well enough but I can not find the plist to remove.
Please help! I don't understand many acronyms and such that responses typically include so if you have a solution for me, please be very specific.
Thanx

don't know if I don't understand the structure of Macs well enough but I can not find the plist to remove.
Quit Safari.
Click a clear space on your Desktop. You'll see Finder top left corner of the screen.
From that menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this in exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Safari
That will open a Finder window for you.
Move the Bookmarks.plist file to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari.
That should remove all the Bookmarks from Safari.
If you want to re import those Bookmarks at some point, with Safari open, from the menu bar click File > Import Bookmarks.
BTW... when you are searching the Finder there are two libraries. One is root the other is user.
The    ~ (Tilde) character represents user:   ~/Library
No tilde: /Library     is root

How can I delete/reset ALV views?

Hi,
I have a problem when opening ALV in a WD application for my user (it works for other user). A short dump appears with the following message: "Could not find attribute SALV_WD_COL_CV_00001".
I think the reason is the default view which is set for the ALV. Is it possbile to reset the default view to the standard view or delete the default view? But I'm not sure if this is really the reason for the dump (but it's strange that it works for other user).
Thank in advance!

Hi Alex,
I know one way to delete the Personalization data of a user but i thought it won't be correct. I was waiting if somebody replies with prpper solution.
User personilzation data is stored in below 4 tables
WDY_CONF_UDEF
WDY_CONF_USER
WDY_CONF_USERT
WDY_CONF_USERT2
Delete the entries related to your IDs configurations from above 4 tables.
Caution: This may affect personalization data of other user. So write appropriate queries to delete only your entries.
Thanks,

Microsoft office CD keys. How do you delete/reset the key?

Well I picked up my new macbook and my friend decided to instal microsoft office 2004 on my computer (I know have password locking). But when he did that instead of using one of my two keys still available on the one I purchased from the apple store.... He used a cracked key. Now I can't figure out how to erase the key and input my own key. If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.

Wipe off all microsoft office files. They will be in these directories:
/Applications/
/Applications/Utilities/
/Library/Application Support/
~/Library/Application Support/ (this "Library" is the one in your "home" folder -- indicated here by the tilde)
~/Library/Preferences/
~/Documents/
There will be com.Microsoft.application.plist files in the "Preferences" folder along with a folder called "Microsoft".
Getting rid of all microsoft office related files in these folders should clear the installation off your system.

Repairing permissions frequently - daily

Can anyone shed light on this puzzle?: I have to repair permissions at least 2 or 3 times every day. I generally run only Mail 2.1.3, Safari 3.1.2, Filemaker Pro 5.5v2, Quickeys 3.2.3, and a small number of always-on gadgets (Sidenote, TypeIt4Me, Alarm Clock 2, NetBarrier - all current versions). I'm almost always running Safari and I do go through lots of tabs in a session (a minimum of about 500 each day), but I close excess tabs regularly (wish Safari would do that automatically!), and I relaunch Safari several times each day.
At least 2 or 3 times every day, Safari slows to a crawl and I use Oasis to repair permissions. It's almost always the same group of permissions that need repair. Here they are:

Can anyone shed some light on why this happens so frequently, and what I might do about it? I've tried running Activity Monitor to see if that would tell me anything, but either it doesn't or I don't know what to look for.

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.
More useful reading here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Then try this:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)

208.67.220.220
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist

It's ok to do this even though v10.7.5 is already installed. The combo replaces any missing system files.
Restart your Mac after the combo installed then try Safari.
If that doens't help, try repairing permissions.

How to delete/reset Photoshop preferences

Background: Sometimes Photoshop can exhibit odd/erratic/weird behaviour.
The first step is to make sure that you are running the latest version of Photoshop, by applying the relevant updates for your version of Photoshop listed on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=39&platform=Windows
This behaviour can sometimes be overcome by resetting the Photoshop Preference file, or individual Tool Preferences.
The procedures outlined below are the most common methods of removing the program preferences file.
Q: I am experiencing weird behaviour in Photoshop. - How do I delete / reset my preferences?
Photoshop versions after 6.0 (including 7.0, CS, CS2 ...CS6):
A:If a tool is behaving erratically, first try resetting just that tools preferences, via the method outlined by Len Hewitt in the post below this one.
If you have larger troubles, hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting up Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking if you wish to delete the preferences/settings file.
A2: You can also simply search your hard drive for a *.psp file and delete it. It will be called something along the lines of "Adobe Photoshop X Prefs.psp".
Under Vista or 7, look here:
Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version #]/Adobe Photoshop [version #] Settings
Under Win 2k/XP the preference file will be found at:
%windir%\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\[version #]\Adobe Photoshop [version #] Settings
[NOTE: You need to set Window's Explorer Options to "View Hidden Files and Folders" to display the Preference file]
Photoshop Versions 5.5 and earlier:
Search for photos*.ini and delete (the file will be called photos followed by the version number - i.e photos55.ini for Photoshop 5.5, photos40.ini for Photoshop 4.0)
Resetting the preferences will restore Photoshop settings to factory defaults.
If removing the preferences files does not resolve the problem you should check the Photoshop Support pages for further guidance.
http://www.adobe.com/support/products/photoshop.html
Note that it is possible to keep a 'healthy' copy of the Preferences file, so that you simply overwrite the preferences file if needed. That way you won´t have to re-adjust your preferences in Photoshop after a Reset.
More information on Photoshop preferences can be found at:
Tech doc, CS5:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82893.html

Is one of your tools behaving strangely — or not the way you expect — in Photoshop?
For every tool in Photoshop's Tool Box, the user may choose to fully reset JUST that tool to its default settings. To do this, look up to the Options Bar. On the far left side you will see a button which displays an icon of the currently selected tool. This is the Tool Preset picker. Right-click on this button, and you will see two entries:
Reset Tool
Reset All Tools
The first thing to try when a tool is not acting like you expect it should is to apply the command "Reset Tool" from this menu. Often this will cure a problem, and by starting your Photoshop troubleshooting with this procedure you aren't resetting Photoshop's entire behavior and environment to factory default in a wholesale manner. Instead, you're just getting that particular tool back to its default settings, leaving the rest of Photoshop's settings alone.
The second option would be more appropriate in a classroom setting, to get a "fresh version of Photoshop", rather than for troubleshooting Photoshop issues.
If this doesn't cure the problem you're having, then you may need to move on to deleting/resetting all of your Photoshop preferences to factory default.

How do I remove a Safari Database on the iPod Touch?

How do I delete a Safari Database on the iPod Touch?
I am able to clear history, cookies, and cache but, not databases.
On the Mac I am able to remove a database but, not on the iPod Touch.
What good is clearing cookies if databases remain?

In Safari version 4.0.4 for the Mac.
Safari menu / Preferences... / Security
Database storage: "None" allowed before asking
Below that you can press the "Show Databases" button.
That lists the databases and includes buttons for "Remove" and "Remove All"
On the iPod Touch go to
Settings / Safari /
Below "Accept Cookies" and above "Clear History" is "Databases >"
Touch that and you are presented with any databases for Safari.
Touch a database and you see "Used" and "Max Size" but, no way to delete the database.
For information on the existence of databases in Safari see http://www.apple.com/safari/features.html . There are 9 references to "database' the first being in the section titled "HTML5 Offline Support"

Repairing permissions gives me tons of errors

I've been having trouble opening some apps (i.e Activity Monitor) so I figured I should repair my permissions. When I do so, I get a HUGE amount of errors, I'll include just a very small portion of them below.
Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks!

There is also this article on resolving permissions issues:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106712
As for your question about reinstalling without losing preferences, yes, it is called an Archive and Install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270
None, if you upgraded Mac OS X since you initially got the machine, it is more difficult to archive and install, as newer applications may not work right with the older operating system.
I would still though backup your data before doing it as my FAQ explains:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Even a corrupted backup is better than none, as critical data files can be rescued if there is an issue.

My question is: How do I remove the ACL?

I would imagine that some place in the "man" pages this information could be found, but I sure cannot find it.
Thanks.

First of all, I should point out that I think I understand that these messages are OK to ignore.
Second, I ran your/Kappy's Terminal command suggestion and now the message I should ignore and gone. (yippie) Many thanks to the Florida contingent.
My point is, why should you keep getting the same message, over and over if you should ignore them? If we should ignore them, stop showing them to us. It drives some of us crazy. And for some of us, it's a very short drive.
If you shouldn't really ignore the messages, then either actually do something to address them, or tell us what to do. Which hopefully for most it's not running Terminal commands.
The other thing is, Disk Utility does say it repaired something.
Repaired "private/etc/apache2/users".
Did it really repair something?
If so, why does it constantly repair the same reported issue, over and over?
It appears as if it didn't really repair something.
I'm not trying to be a pain on this issue. lt's just that it seems this is how Disk Utility has worked for some time. I've always wondered why someone at Apple doesn't do something about it.
It's like the old joke, "Doctor it hurts when I do this."
Doctor, "Dont' do that."
Either way, thanks.

Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies. I've tried to reset safari but the problem persists. How can make safari Never accept cookies.

I'm having a problem with cookies on Safari.
Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies. I've tried to Reseting Safari several time but the problem persists. This is occurring under two different user logins one of whom is an administrator the other a standard user. How can I get safari to Never accept cookies? This is a recent problem because in the past it used to work properly. Any idea what might be going on here?

Hi David:
I did read (yesterday in another thread) about a similar problem. I cannot test it myself as I accept cookies (from sites I visit) and do not want to delete all of mine for a test.
I do not know whether it meets your requirements, but you could turn on private browsing. I use that (or Microsoft's variant on IE) when I use public computers.

How to reset safari 8

How can I reset safari 8 on os x yosemite. I have redirect problem on my browser. I want to search things from toolbar using google but it redirects me to a different search engine. I checked all extensions there is no one there that seems wrong. please help me.

In OS X 10.10, with the new update to Safari, you can't simply reset Safari like before. Now you have to actually go in and manually disengage anything plugged in to safari.
This means entering the Library folders for both the system and user accounts affected by the Trovi/Conduit/Search protect redirect malwares.
First up is closing Safari down. Quit it, or Force Quit it using the Command/Option/Esc shortcut. Next up is to navigate to Finder and remove traces of the pest in your user files.
While some antivirus programs are great for this, avoid MacKeeper like the plague, it basically will do the same thing. Do not ever use it.
I should warn you, deleting files in this part may affect your computer adversely. When in doubt, TIME MACHINE BACKUP!!!!
Mouse up to the "Go" top menu selection, and hold down the Option/Alt key. Magically, the Library folder will appear, which you'll need to click on, and go in to. The file path should be something along the lines of /Users/YOURNAME/Library. Inside this are a few folders that you'll need to pop in and check out. Application Support is one of them, this will house anything dealing with preference files or misc files for programs or apps, including in some cases, search redirect add ons. Find the name of your assailant, be it Trovi, Conduit, or the plethora of others out there that hijack your browser (take note of the website it launches when you go to your homepage, check Safari's system preferences to double check prior to this dive into your system files).
Once you've located files associated with the program, Command/Delete them, or just delete them however you normally would. Securely empty the trash to ensure that even if they're in use, they will be deleted.
Next folder on the list is back in the Library, so head backwards in the File path and scroll down to Internet Plug-ins. Inside this folder is anything Safari uses, either intentionally or not. Clear anything in there that doesn't look right, this Folder is normally empty by default anyways.
Next folder for inspection is back in the Library folder, named Safari. This is the real bread and butter here, and where you'll find .plist files galore. You should open and clear Extensions folder, LastSession.plist, as well as the Local Storage folder. Do not delete folders in this enclosing Safari folder, only files.
Empty the trash securely again. Next up is to check the system Library folder for any lingering pest files. The filepath for this folder is simply inside the main drive, Library will be on the same hierarchy as Users, System, Applications, and so on. Open the Library folder, open Application Support folder, and again, check for anything suspicious. Anything inside this folder is a series of preference files for applications used by users/the system. Hopefully there should be nothing in this folder to delete, but on occasion you'll see Trovi or other folders in there.
The next folder to check, back up the ladder in to Library, is the Internet Plug-ins folder. This will contain files for you to delete, likely as .plugin files.
The final folder to check is back in the Library, called Preferences. This is where hunting and pecking will be a time consuming affair. You will likely have roughly 100+ files inside this folder, each of them is a com.whatever.whatever.plist file. These are pretty important files. Among these plist files will very likely be a trovi or conduit plist with a com.trovi.whatever.plist file name. Delete that little file, securely empty your trash.
The final process to finish this all up will be to set your homepage in Safari back to what it used to be. Open it up (WITH YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION OFF), go to your Safari preferences, input your homepage, then save that and close Safari. Restart the Mac, then turn on your Wifi/ethernet connection, and open Safari. It should be hijack-free.

How to reset Safari 8.0.2 on OS X Yosemite?

Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Safari Version 8.0.1
I want to restore Safari to default settings and completely wipe the application. I haven't found a way to do this, I've looked on Youtube, Apple Support, and many other websites. None of them include information on how I can reset Safari.
Thanks in advance!

Back up all data before proceeding.
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
If Adobe Flash Player is installed, select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
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.Safari.SearchHelper
          Caches/com.apple.SafariServices
          Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
          Caches/com.apple.WebProcess
          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 the problem is solved, stop here. Close the Library folder. If you still have a problem, continue.
Step 2
Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work, quit, go back to the Finder, and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (again, some may not exist):
          Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
          Internet Plug-Ins
          Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Safari.*.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.Safari.Extensions.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
          PubSub/Database
          Safari
          SyncedPreferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Here, "*" stands for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes.
Note 1: You are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”
Note 2: This step will remove your Safari extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to reinstall them, do so one at a time, testing each time to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
Try again. Your settings and bookmarks will be lost. The default set of bookmarks will be restored. Delete them all.
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.
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 may 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 you don’t like the results of the last step, 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.
