I cannot get Safari to quit.  Help

There are several ways to force quit an application. The simple ways:
Select Force Quit... from the Apple menu. Sometimes you will have to click to another application to get the Apple menu to respond. This will bring up the Force Quit Applications window; stuck applications may appear in this list in red. You can then select the misbehaving application and click the Force Quit button. Occasionally you will have to dismiss this window and repeat the process to really get the app to quit, but this should be rare. If necessary, you can Force Quit multiple applications from this window.
Use the keystroke apple-option-esc to bring up the same Force Quit window.
Control-click/right-click on an application's icon in the Dock. Usually you can simply quit an application from this menu. A stuck application will often say Force Quit in place of Quit, though you can hold down the option key if it does not.
The complicated ways:
Activity Monitor will allow you to quit/force quit individual processes. Sometimes this will require an admin password. It should be used with caution, as Force Quitting a parent process will Force Quit all of its children processes too. For instance, Force Quitting the loginwindow process will end all user processes and dump the user back out to the Login Window.
Using the Terminal, you can use the kill command along with a process's PID to kill that process. This is basically the same thing as using Activity Monitor above.

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut Safari down from there.

  • I can't get Safari to load period. It quits immediately. According to the troubleshooting, I'm to un-install any third party plug ins. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? I don't recall installing anything that wasn't an upgrade.

    Unplug your iBook from the AC power, shut it down and take the main battery out for about fifteen minutes. Then you can put the battery back in, plug the power back in and restart. This should reset the USB and FireWire ports.
    If that doesn't help, you could reset the Power Management Unit. Follow the instructions in Knowledge Base Article #14449 for resetting your PMU.
    You probably should also startup from your Mac OS X install disk and run the Disk Utility to "repair disk" on your hard drive. This will determine if you've got some kind of file directory/software problems with the files on your hard drive.

  • How can I get Safari 5.1.2 to automatically open pdf files on web pages by using Adobe Reader?

    Safari 5.1.2 always opens pdf files on web pages as a single frame and thus it will not print properly.  How can I get Safari to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader 10.1.1?

    Carolyn,
    Thanks for sending your suggestion on how to solve my problem.  Unfortunately, it did not work for me.  I trashed the file, quit and relaunched Safari, but the problem remained the same.  Although it did not work, I do appreciate that you took the time to try to help me.
    Thanks.

  • How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?

    How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?
    Specifically, I would like it to remember my 14 digit library account on:  http://polaris.plano.gov/Polaris/logon.aspx
    Firefox on my old PC was able to do this no problem.  I have recently switched over to Apple.  Thanks for your help!
    FYI, I am on a new Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4.

    Some websites request the web browser to NOT autofill the username, password.  It is possible the library site is doing that. Your previous firefox on the PC may have been sufficiently old to not be able to handle such a request.  There are password managers you can get to over-ride such things (search Safari extensions).

  • Can't get safari to open with lion.  Any ideas?

    Hi,  Have been struggling to with lion and safari.  Feel like I'm on a safari.  Can't get safari to open. When it does, crashes immediately.  Any ideas?

    Nasty.  I have some ideas:
    Can you open Safari in a different user account? (that will help to determine if it is a corrupt install or something systemwide).
    Do you have any 3rd party add-ons for Safari?  Try disabling them.

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • How can i get itunes to quit skipping to the currently playing song when i'm working on the library somewhere else?

    how can i get itunes to quit skipping to the currently playing song when i'm working on the library somewhere else?

    You might be able to achieve what you want by using Party Shuffle. Set the source for Party Shuffle to be the playlist you want to listen to or add the tracks you want to listen to by control clicking on them and selecting Add to Party Shuffle. Once everything is in Party Shuffle, you can rearrange them to your satisfaction. As the songs are played, they'll roll off the queue. You can quit iTunes and even when you restart, all your songs will be there, in the order you want, waiting for you to hit play.

  • Where can I get Safari for Mac OS X 10.4.11?

    Hello,
    Can anybody tell me where can I get Safari for Mac OS X 10.4.11?
    I looked in the Apple page but without any success... And other websites only have Tiger or Leopard version.
    Thank you in advance,
    Sandra Costa

    Welcome Costrasandra!
    Scroll to the very top of this page. See where it says 'Downloads' Click it. It will take you to Apples download page and right there on front is the download and info on Safari's latest version 3.1.2.
    actually... here: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    But I don't understand what you mean, MacOSX 10.4.11 IS Tiger.

    Figured it out.   Must sign out from Itunes and then back in and it works.

    I can not get safari to load. Have already cleared the cache (three different ways) and reset safari. I'm not running off a router and when I look at my connection in 'network' it says my connection is fine. I don't know what else to do.

  • How can I get Safari to keep the reading list pane open all the time?

    I am really enjoying the Reading List pane in Safari. How can I get Safari to make it default that the reading pane is always open on every tab or window I open? I'm running Lion 10.7.3.
    Thanks.

    Hi Necris Rex,
    If you are having trouble keeping the leading zeros even after first formatting the cells as text and then importing the csv values (perhaps you are importing the csv via File > Open into a new document) then you can restore the leading zeros without much trouble:
    Insert a new column next to the column where the leading zeros have not imported as you want. Here I assume the original values are in column B and your new column is C.
    Put this formula in column C:  =RIGHT("00000000"&A,6) , and fill down the column.
    Select column C, command-c to copy, and, with the column still selected, Edit > Paste and Match Styles.
    Delete the original column that has the missing leading zeros.
    Replace the 6 in the formula with the number of digits you need, so the formula knows how many zeros to "pad."
    The above assumes you actually need the leading zeros back.  If you just want to display things nicely in your Numbers table, then formatting as Numeral System and setting Places to 6 (or whatever) is quick and easy, no formulas required.
