I'm having major problems with Safari

Installed Mavericks on the following computer:
MacBook Pro
Retina, Mid 2012
Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Software  OS X 10.9 (13A603)
Safari won't, but sometimes will, go to the URL.
The URL for the Apple forums is apple.com alone. Don't see https://discussions.apple.com with the rest of the URL. When I click on any other tabs I get the same https://discussions.apple.com/~~ URL.
Tabs don't work. Get Untitled Folders instead. Can only enter a URL in one window, so a new URL replaces the URL that is already there.
Safari stalled after I entered my Apple ID. Screen went white.
The Safari Preferences window won't close using the red go-away button. Have to logoff and login Safari.
Top Sites gone.
N.B. Installed Safari 6.1 before Mavericks because it said the Safari upgrade was for Mountain Lion. Got Top Sites and everything seemed to work. As soon as I installed Mavericks, it was a mess.
EDIT: Oh yeah, last action was to delete Safari plist with the hex numbers in the name in the ~/library/Preferences/ByHost folder, per instructions elsewhere on this forum.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a way to download Safari and install again over Mavericks?

SOLVED IT. I used the GLIMS extension Uninstaller located at the link, and it fixed everything.

  • Anyone else having major problems with Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard?

    is anyone else having major problems with Safari 5.1 on Snow Leopard?
    - address bar and search box are not resizing with browser window. the address bar and seach box set their size to the window when Safari is launched and remain that size.
    - anytime i try to customize toolbar items disappear and i have to restart Safari to get them to appear.
    - some 3rd party icons just remove themselves from the toolbar after a period of time
    - when i drag a page from the tab bar to create it's own browser window the window disappears but is listed in the windows menu bar. when i select that window from the menu bar the window appears but i can't click on anything.
    I've repaired permissions numerous times, reinstalled safari numerous times and restarted my machine numerous times and the issues all remain. i've never had any issues with Safari until now and 5.1 is looking like a huge mess.
    besides the bugs above, has anyone had any luck with 1password working with Safari 5.1?

    ok, i narrowed most of my issues down to Web Snapper and Videobox by TastyApps. Removed both of those and now everything works better.
    I went out to lunch and came back an hour later and magically ALL of my previous toolbar icons that were added to my previous version of Safari appeared. Very strange.
    as for 1password, it wasn't working at all before when i posted. everytime i tried installing the extension via the app my, Safari would open a window and hang (never load). I just tried it again and it seems to now be working.

  • I am having major problems with my trackpad on my macbook pro.  I can no longer press down on the bottom left and right corners for it to click and follow my command.  Please can anyone help?

  • I am having major problems with Firefox. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing the display only when on Firefox for all web site, that the display would be shifted right about half a screen. It only happens on Firefox and happens for all web sites.

    I am having major problems with Firefox. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing the display only when on Firefox for all web site, that the display would be shifted right about half a screen. It only happens on Firefox and happens for all web sites.

    This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • WRT350N - How to tell if it's V1 or V2? Having major problems with it

    I have a WRT350N that I purchased about a year or so ago and I'm trying to figure out if it's V1 or V2. Seems like tons of people are having problems with this series. I was having problems with the wireless connection going dead constantly (5+ times a day). Since I work from home this was obviously not acceptable. I upgraded the firmware after talking with Linksys tech support. After that, the problem got much worse. Now the wireless connection goes down as well the router loses it's internet connection. I finally removed it from my home network and put my old reliable D-Link 614 back in place. It's been working fine and actually has way better range. Before I throw this WRT350 in the trash I would like to see if mine is V1/V2 and if there is anything I can do with it.
    Thanks!
    Matt

    To find out the router's version number look at the bottom of the router, it should say Model Number : WRT350N, right next to the model number if it says V2 then it is version 2 else it is V1...I assume it should be V1...
    If you have intermittent connection, you should download and upgrade your router's firmware from here
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab,
    - Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
    Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
    Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • HT4623 updated to ios7 on Sunday - I am having major problems with my phone since - keeps freezing - updated itunes first then backed up my phone to my laptop.  Is it worth it at this stage doing a restore?

    I updated my iphone 5 to ios7 on Sunday and have been having m?ajor problems with my phone since.  It keeps freezing and I have to constantly press the home and on/off switch to get it to restart.  I had updated my itunes and backed up the phone before doing the update.  I'm getting very frustrated at this stage as the phone is practically useless.   Is it worth doing a restore?  Bearing in mind that I just tried to do that and got a message to turn off the 'find phone' feature in settings and when I tried to get into settings the phone froze again.

    I don't have a good answer for you but reading these forums, it seems that network drives can often cause problems with iTunes like you describe.

  • I am having major problems with the latest update for my itunes!

    I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'. I have completely uninstalled itunes but now it wont download at all. Have tried downloading it 4 times tonight already. Anyone know how to get it to download? Or what to do?

    I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'.
    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I am having numerous problems with Safari 5.1....

    It runs PAINFULLY SLOW on two different MacBook Pro's, one a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM, the other is a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of RAM...
    I am having issues with my Yahoo home page where I constantly get the error message "We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page". I have signed out, and back in and still get the same message...
    On web pages that I go to that open a second page, it is never the right size, and I always have to resize it to read the information, or play a game...
    Am I the only one having this problem, or what do I need to do to solve these issues.

    Is this a fair summary of your problem?
    You have unreasonably slow Internet performance on two different Macs, both running Lion.
    It's slow on all networks.
    It's slow on both WiFi and Ethernet.
    Other devices on the same network are not slow.
    No change in safe mode, or in the guest account.
    No change after reinstalling Lion.
    After removing Flash, things seemed to get better, but only briefly.
    If all that is correct, then you have a very strange problem. I would have to start looking at logs, and since I don't have any experience with Lion myself, I wouldn't be sure what to look for. If it's an option for you to take one or both Macs to an Apple Store for diagnosis, I suggest you do that. Otherwise, please post extracts from the system log and the kernel log (not the console log) when you're having the slow performance. Both can be found in the Console application.

  • Is anyone else having majors problems with latest update?!?

    I love my Droid X and have never had problems with it until now.  My phone had been pestering me about the update so I finally let it.  Then I didn't like the look of the main screen, but I liked the index down the side of the contacts and the new keyboard when texting (except the smiley face was missing).  But then I started noticing problems, I can't move my contacts to groups and I can't take pictures.  I have a constant notification that says 'Blank SD card SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem" and when I try to take a picture I get a message that says "Please insert sd card before using the camera".  Is there any way to remove the update without erasing everything on my phone?  I'm really not happy with Verizon giving us an update with these kinds of problems.  I want a new update asap that undoes the last one.

    Sorry, you can't go backwards. However, it appears that you might have a bad SD card. If your computer can read cards, check it out. If not, go to your VZ store and have them check out your SD card. If your card is bad, that is what might be causing you all your headaches.
    The store will DO NOTHING for you if you are getting a message saying your SD card is having problems, so don't even go there as they will pretty much tell you that you are out of luck - VZW's official stance on the SD card issue is that it is not their problem. You're better off going and buying your very own SD card, althoug these will have problems also
    I started having problems with my SD card when the GB update came out back in August....the original SD card the phone came with completely corrupted, I bought a new card of my very own (since both 800 support and the VZW pretty much told me I was out of luck and laughed me out the door), which had problems as well, getting a message in both late August and mid-Sept that the card had problems and to reformat it. I seriously believe the phone itself, if not the update, is causing problems with the SD card. SD cards don't have problems like this....yes they fail just like anything else, but to have had one card go corrupt and another one give a damaged message all within a months time? Sorry that's not the cards....

  • Having major problem with deployed installer needing DLLs that I don't seem to use in the application

    I'm a bit confounded on the library situations...I'm not using an RT target...
    though
    when running the deployed executable/installer.... upon start it asks
    for these 2 dlls:  lvuste.dll & lvalarms.dll. which seem to be related to RT  ????  how do I get
    around this?  How would I include these dlls within an executable or installer?
     I'm using 8.5.

    It looks like this was a problem with the way Timed loops link directly to those 2 DLLs.  Does the error ask for those DLLs in a specific folder?  If so you can copy them from their current location (which I believe should be <labview>\resource folder) to the folder that it wants them to be in.  Alternately you can simply remove the timed loops, since timed loops on a Windows PC doesn't really have much benefit over a while loop with a timer.
    Hope this helps...

  • Switched over to Mac and having MAJOR problems with Powerbook G4

    Hello,
    I'n the interest of not having to post many threads and to save bandwidth I will post my problems on one single thread so that you can address each issue.
    1) The adapter cord that plugs in to my Powerbook usually has a bright "yellow" light on the endge of the cord when plugged in. Recently the color changed to bright "orange" should I be concerned and is this a sign of something bad to come?
    2) When I press the power button "sometimes" the screen goes grey. I press the button, hear the chime, screen goes grey with a world logo that keeps flashing at limbo preventing me from getting in to the computer system. Why is this happening and how do I correct it?
    3) Select the Apple Icon on the top and go to Mac OSx software, IE Explorer loads and then FREEZES evertything on the system. It's as though it's crashing from the onset.
    4) At any given time while I'm searching through files or surfing the net a ridiculous littl ball appears in the shape of a rainbow that essentially locks my ENTIRE SYSTEM. I cannot click on any Icon or do much of anything. Forced to sit and helplessly look at this stupid object with no directive as to what to do. I can't even shut down my system in safe mode because it won't let me access the Apple Icon on the top menu. At last resort I have to HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON for 10 seconds just to shut it down.
    5) How can you retrieve files deleted by accident or do a system restore like you can in Windows? No disks came with my computer so I'm hoping that there is a button to click that can reverse actions and bring back system to an earlier time. I'm sure that Apple must have thought about this as people are going to make many mistakes and will need immediate and non complex recourse in restoring files and the system in general. I changed Admin privilidges to myself and deleted the former Admin of my system, thinking that it would only delete the "name" but instead I suspect that the system deleted 5GB of files that the former Admin installed? Not sure. I have nothing in my trash can and the deleted files under former Admin are in the form of an "image" on my hard disk. I tried to open the deleted file by clicking on the Icon and it's telling me "DISK IMAGE FAILED TO MOUNT no mountable file system. This is very frustrating as I need to see what files have been deleted and restore those that I need. I have OFFICE MAC X suite that now I can't locate and yesterday I downloaded the Opera browser and turned on the Mac this morning only to find that it to is gone.
    Now granted Windows is a headache in itself but I never imagined that I would be going through all this madness with a Mac. Everyone spoke so highly of them and I'm finding out different from first hand experience. Hopefully, you can help me resolve the above issues as I'm feeling very frustrated with this computer.

    Hi again,
    You definitely need to purchase some replacement disks for your computer. Just from hard shutdowns via the powerbutton can do system file damage and you need to Repair Dick using the install disk.
    From your reply I would suggest obtaining a good Mac OSX users book such a one of the David Pogue books etc. You can find any number of them online for your OS. The learning of the Mac OS can be somewhat confusing for a switcher from PC and Microsoft OS's. I was somewhat lucky in that when I first started using computers I learned on a Mac so I never had any relearning curve to deal with. I think you will find if you stick with your Mac and OSX that you will learn to love it compared to PC's.
    I can assure you that Apple did not drop the ball when it came to the PowerBooks as evident by it being one of the most succesful of all Mac notebook computers.....there are many many happy users still of PowerBooks. There is a specific forum here in Discussions for Powerbook computers that may help you with certain issues.
    re: "I went ahead and downloaded my favorite browser Opera for the second time, since it disappeared yesterday after I restarted my machine. Hopefully, I will find it on the Doc the next time I start my system."
    Once you download an app to your Mac you will need to place it in your HD/Applications folder. From there you can simply drag it's alias to the Dock or click open the app and then when the icon appears in the Dock click on its icon in the Dock once and hold and from its pop up contextual menu select "Keep In Dock". Applications do not automatically stay in the Dock.
    I am not sure I follow your description of the problem of the lost 5GB of files that were on some sort of Disk Image and how you are trying to retrieve them for me to be able to help. If you have deleted the files they are gone on your computer and you will need to use a third party software to recover them (DataRescue is one such utility but these are expensive softwares and can have varying results with file recovery). If you know the name of any of the missing files you can do a search using the finders search field (double click on your HD icon and then use its search field upper right) to make sure that the files are indeed not on your HD anymore.
    I also wanted to suggest when using the command +option + escape key combination to force quit a process sometimes may take a couple or a few tries to get it to work sometimes (at least that has been my experience). Did you read through Dr. Smoke's FAQ concerning the SBBOD?
    In the end you will need to learn common system maintenance for your OS to function properly such as Repairing Permissions via Disk Utility and running the cron maintenance (daily, weekly and monthly) tasks which can be done manually or by downloading a third party freeware utility such as MacJanitor to help do this easily. One of the biggest reasons to have your install disks is this is how you will need to repair the disk for system corruption among other problems. This can only be done with OS 10.3.9 by using the install disk and booting to its DiskUtility.
    I hope these tips help a little more and do post back with further questions,

  • ITunes 11.0.3 causing major problems with Safari and Mail.

    I have a 2007 aluminum iMac with 4GB of Crucial RAM running 10.8.3, now 10.8.4.  Got an iTunes update to 11.0.3 a few weeks ago.  Since then, iTunes, Mail, and Safari can't be open at same time or iMac slows to a crawl.  10.8.4 update did not fix this.  I've run the Apple hardware checking program and all checks out fine.  I've run Clean My Mac 2.0, which didn't help at all.  I installed a widget to monitor internal temperatures, and they are not too high.  I've tried a Time Machine restore to May 14th, but it didn't seem to restore the old version of iTunes, but rather rolled back the desktop.  Please help!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

    1. No sound in the speakers.
    2. Red light in audio jack.
    3. Very slow performance.
    4. Extremely long start-up time for both system and applications.
    5. Fuzzy monitor.
    6. Monitor clear on the left side, fuzzy on the right.

  • I am having major problems with the Flash Player Download

    I have downloaded it probably 12 times +. I have tried everything I know and keep coming back to the boards for more. I don't know what else to do. I have I/E 8. I use AVG 8.5. I use Net zero and their proprietary pop up blocker. I download 10.1.82.76. I have also downloaded the older version and tried that. I tried the manual download. I made sure AVG is off. My Internet setting is at Medium.I have CCleaner installed. The blocker is on.I do see the whirling F video and it say I have the corresponding download to the right, and that it was successfully downloaded. I go to my control panel and in there it shows the download manger actively installed with a quantity of size. It shows the Adobe Flash Player also installed at least in name, BUT there is no quantity displayed for the file size. So this tells me it is somewhere, but just not totally installed or stuck somewhere. I completely remove it each time I reload it And I restart before I redownload. As far as I remember I already had it operating a while ago and all of a sudden my game site wouldn't work on Facebook. So I troubleshot it. It said to download the latest version if the game won't start so I did. And that is when this whole download problem began, probably about a week and a half ago.I have Windows XP Pro in I believe 32 bit, but where it says to check it says 128 bit capable, I think was the word. I can't find specific 32 or 64 anywhere.XP version is several years old.and I don't have any brand new hardware. It is an ASUS board, top of the line back when. and no problems before. There is a raid system running. as the board was designed for it. And I run two mirrored high speed discs in SATA. but they are almost totally empty. They are Raptors.The board is a P5AD2 Deluxe. I just have 1 Gig or ram installed.I use a slow but usually reliable dial up download. I can't get high speed.I have another spyware blocker in the tray Zone Alarm, but I very seldom use it and keep it off most of the time and every time I have downloaded the Flash.In tools my Flash Object is enabled AND it shows the correct download version of Flash. Under Internet Properties/Advanced I don't know which to set where so I haven't changed any.........Well that's about all I can tell you that I remember I have tried. Now you can see what you can think of. I'm out and really ticked at this Adobe thing.
    I hope I can find my way back to these posts for the answers.

    Ok, but before I get involved with a lot of uninstall's, whereas you said that the earlier one didn't effect anything when it did, what is this going to effect and can I recover the deleted info or files if it doesn't work or causes problems as I say it did before?
    Second I never used a downloaded uninstaller before during any of my uninstall's. Just the one in the control panel listing included in the FP header and listed there. It appeared that it removed all of the FP info because as I said I went to the Start/search and looked for any Adobe FP items and found none. So I assumed I did a good job of clearing any FP before rebooting and re-downloading FP. So is that a yes or a no to start with?
    Third You, I guess it was you said that from what I told you FP is loaded and operating as it should. If so why would I do this (continue making changes) now, when apparently the problem is elsewhere? IF in fact it is, that is.
    Fourth. I received a reply from Facebook tech saying that IE8 does have some issues with their app's due to similar construction platforms or something to that effect (I saved the mail so I can quote it if necessary), and that I should try a bunch of these recommendations and see if they work, which I did not yet do.I just sort of gave up on their game and said screw it. If they can't provide software that works with current popular platforms then I don't need their software. And part of what they suggested was to change my browser. I am used to IE and really don't like changing things all the time just because there's something new. And many of the things available in Firefox and such, I probably don't have use for so why should I change to begin with. Anyway I wasn't really willing to change my browser to suit their software. But in another point, the game was working fine for quite a while with my original FP untill it just quit one day. And as I said I don't know of any changes I made to cause it. I didn't change browsers or download any other games or change ISP or change FP or modify how they ran as far as I know.
    Fifth. I received an e-mail from a girl who like me posted on here and while reading some of the posts before posting my self read hers. Our problem or complaint was quite similar and someone suggested that she use a different browser and she apparently did and it apparently because she emailed me and said that that was what worked for here. Again, I didn't persue that avenue.
    Sixth. But just FYI any of the seemingly similar games will still not work on the Facebook site for me because I downloaded a similar one to the one that didn't work and it did just as the other one was doing. and loaded all the way until the game picture loaded and stopped blank. So either I have a problem or bug or Facebook/Game supplier does. Maybe both.
    So please answer these before I just go off and make changes I can't recover from if my system crashes because of a mod. Thanks.

  • I've been having a problem with Safari failing to load about 10-20% of pages.

    Safari will repeatedly fail to open a page when it is on the same server/site as other pages that load correctly and I can navigate to other pages after a failed page load.
    I'm also able to return an hour or so later and open the pages that failed but no idea why I'm getting temporarily blocked out from some pages/links.
    Problem has only occurred in the last few days but seems persistant.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    I'm using the latest version of snow leopard on a 2009 MacBook Pro.
    Many thanks,
    Paul

    Hi...
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, it's free, and should fix the can't connect to server issue.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK and restart your Mac.
