I cannot get Safari to quit no matter what I do ?

I am trying to load Steam and I need to update Adobe Flash Player. I have quit requested applications but despite repeated, varied tries, Safari will not quit.  I am using MAC 10.8.4   Help ?

Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as"
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
Empty the trash
Reboot
Mount the DMG and run the installer.

  • Cannot get iTunes to start, no matter what fixes I try

    Hi all!
    I was running iTunes 12 on Windows 64x computer. My iTunes started crashing a few days ago and now won't open AT ALL. Not in Safe Mode or anything. Won't create a new library either. I get no error message either.
    Please don't tell me to uninstall/reinstall iTunes or Quicktime, I have scoured the internet and Apple support community forums and I've just about tried every single fix I could possibly find.
    This is the first thing I tried: http://support.apple.com/en-za/HT1923
    so please don't suggest that one again. I've even tried unistalling quicktime and also reinstalling the latest version. I have downgraded my iTunes to a previous version. I have tried using an older library file. I have tried the msconfig fix. I have tried the sfc /scannow in command prompt too. It won't even open in safe mode. It won't let me create a new library. NOTHING.
    Some of the articles I read:
    Sometimes (usually late at night when I need to get to bed) itunes will not respond once it opens on my windows laptop.  Get twirly spin and if that ever stops, itunes freezes and I cannot do anything with it.
    Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
    iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading in Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    itunes will not open --windows 7 64bit
    And NONE of those solutions have worked!!!!
    I thought it might be a problem with IOBit software which I installed recently, so I uninstalled that, but it didn't make any difference.
    I have enabled iTunes and Bonjour on the Firewall too like it says here: How to enable iTunes in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 firewall - Apple Support
    I have even looked at msvcr80.dll and QTMovieWin.dll. I must say, copying QTMovieWin.dll has kept iTunes running longer in Task manager than anything else, a whole 45 sec. But it still didn't open!!
    Please if anyone has help it would be appreciated!!
    Thanks a lot!

    Actually my iTunes just started!!!!
    So if anyone else is having this problem, the last thing I tried was copying the QTMovieWin.dll from my C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder to my C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes folder and started my iTunes Helper.exe
    Hope that can help someone!

  • I cannot get Firefox to open, no matter what I do. Anyone know how to fix this?

    After a power outage, I cannot open Firefox 3.6.10.
    If anyone has any suggestions other than reinstalling the OS, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Did you try a new profile?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • I can 't get Safari to quit.  help

    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.

  • Cannot get Safari to establish a secure connection

    I cannot get Safari to open any webpage that has an https: start to their web page. I get the following message:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://xxx" because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server
    This started just today but I've done a few things that might have caused this. I reset my system user password and then needed keychain to reset it's password to match up with this. I cleared the chach in users and I also upgraded to Safari 1.2.
    If I use another browser I do not have this problem. Any thoughts>

    I've had the same problem a few times. I found that resetting the airport gets the problem fixed, providing that you grant your airport permission to access your keychain always. It can be a software reset. Connect to your airport (airport utility) and select yours (in case you get signals from other neighbors too). Then, on the toolbar click reset, and you should be on.

  • I have an IAMc 4.1 with intel core duo.  Upgraded from tiger to snow leopard but cannot get safari to run in 64 bit.  Is this because my older IMac won't support 64 bit?

    I have an IAMc 4.1 with intel core duo.  Upgraded from tiger to snow leopard but cannot get safari to run in 64 bit.  Is this because my older IMac won't support 64 bit?

    Hi,
    the Intel Core Duo processor is a 32-bit only processor and not capable of 64-bit.
    Only the Core 2 Duo and later processors are capable of 64-bit.
    Sorry

  • Cannot get mail without quitting first.  Any idea why?

    Cannot get mail without quitting first.  Any idea why?

    Does it work?  Well, the beep occurs but no mail comes through without a very long wait.  If I quit mail and re-open it, all the new messages come through.
    Love has nothing to do with this.

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

  • I cannot get Adobe Reader 11 to work - what have I done wrong?

    I cannot get Adobe Reader 11 to work - what have I done wrong?

    Hi Pat,
    I usually don’t have trouble explaining my problems, but this one is confusing the heck out of me.  I just downloaded Reader 11.  It is installed, I believe.  This is the first time Reader has not worked for me after upgrading to a newer version.  I’ve been reading PDF files forever, but tonight when I went to read a pdf file that I received today, I clicked on the file, expecting Reader to open up and it never did.  Then I tried to read some older pdf files and nothing happened when I tried to open the file.  I’ve been using Acrobat Reader for years so that’s why I’m so confused.
    I downloaded the file from the adobe.com website. and everything seemed to be fine.  My question is indeed vague, but I don’t know any other way to explain what happened.  Should I uninstall and start over??
    Thanks, Elaine

    I want to change my Apple ID for IPad because forgot password and all email addresses changed so cannot get informations for password reset. What can I do?

    I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.

  • Cannot get a screen name to enter  what is wanted

    cannot get a screen name to enter   what is wanted?  all i want to do is get adobe installed on my samsun galaxy 10.1

    Regarding your scripting error, you mixed up DIAdem objects with the VBS DataPlugin API.
    The Data object you refer to in "Data.Root.Name" is DIAdem specific and cannot be used in DataPlugin code. This is because DataPlugins are generic and can also be used in other National Instruments software products like LabVIEW.
    Switching the syntax in DIAdem Script (File->Change Syntax) to "VBS DataPlugin" should help to write DataPlugin scripts. E.g. "Data.Root.Name" should not be recognized by DIAdems Syntax Highlighting.

    Make sure you are doing the delete when looking at your library ("Music"), not a playlist.
