I upgraded to version 10.6.8 and safari will not open
I'm receiving the message "safari quit unexpectedly" since the software upgrade
Hi,
You can try deleting the preferences and see if that will solve the issue. Sometimes a corrupt preference file can cause problems.
Go to Macintosh HD/ ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. If this worked, move the.plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
Hope this helps and let me know how it goes.

I upgraded from PS5 to PS 6 and Bridge will not open in RAW, AMT Failure, also will not let me update and closes Bridge down.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times and still no success. Any suggestions?What system are you on? Did you run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool inbetween your install attempts? If not, try that to produce a "clean" install with factory defaults. Other than that there could be some specific system issues at play, but again, we'd need to actually know what system you are on...

I've spent all day trying to fix all the problems I'm encountered after updating to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro today. It's been a waste of a day. Nothing I have researched has helped. I wish I never updated. What is ironic that most of the things that do not work or Apple i products. I don't understand cloud but have a feeling this is the cause of most of the problems.
After update my computer prompted me to say cannot connect to Icloud Drive (What I don't understand I cloud and didn't know I had an Icloud drive).
Itunes will not open at all and it does not even try to open(I've downloaded it again to no avail).
Iphoto has a Circle slash mark through it so it's not even avaliable.
Safari will not open just like Itunes.
Icloud in preferences just keeps spinning like it's looking for Icloud drive. (Even though I don't use this I feel it is the problem)
So I have no access to my music, my photos cannot get on the internet with Safari Browser.
I'm afraid of what else probably doesn't work but I've been so consumed with the top three I haven't got to really explore the rest of all the apps.
My main concern at the moment are my pictures and my music.
Please Help, Thank you so much!!iPhoto is still in your Applications folder. Your iPhoto Library is still where it was.

Macmail and safari will not open
I downloaded safari 3.1 to my eMac with Osx 10.3.9.
Now I cannot open safari or open my macmail.
I was previously using Safari 1.2.3.
So I then downloaded safari 1.2.
I still cannot open macmail with the Safari 1.2.
I have done some reading and I do not know if it is a keychain problem
or a Webkit problem.
I called Apple and they said to reinstall safari from my
original Disk. Unfortunately my disk 1 has a scratch and it will not open.
How can I get the macmail to open?Hello SorrentoBlu,
First of all, Welcome to the Discussion forums!
Unfortunately, what happens with installing the later version of Safari over a supported version for 10.3.9, the download "breaks" or damages the WebKit system files.
To resolve this, the only thing that I have seen is to reinstall the system. Not sure why Apple told you to reinstall the older version of Safari from disk. As far as I know neither will work even after reinstalling as the System WebKit files will be damaged and they will not run. That is my understanding, sorry if I am wrong.
It's unfortunate that you do not have a working install disk as you most likely will have to reinstall from disk (either your computers installation disks or by purchasing a set of "full" retail 10.3 install disks from a third party reseller).
Additionally, I wouldn't worry too much about a Safari install at this point for 10.3.9 as it is very outdated. You should use a browser such as Camino 1.6.8 which is still being supported for 10.3.9.
hope that helps and post back with further comments or questions,

Safari and 10.6.2 upgrade. Mail and Safari will not open.
I upgraded to 10.6.2 and Safari. Now I cannot open my Mail or Safari. I get a message that says it Unexpectedly Quit. I see in the details it says unable to gather system configuration information. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?
HI,
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.launchservices.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash, restart your Mac and try to launc Mail and Safari. If that doesn't help...
Download and install the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo)
It's ok to do this even though you are running 10.6.2. Make sure and repair disk permissions after the installation.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

For the longest time I kept declining to update to the newest version of iTunes. However I got an IPhone 5 recently and it couln't connect to my iTunes because it wasn't updated. Long story short I updated my iTunes while my my iphone was connected to my computer (I don't know if that affects anything). After I updated it and restarted my computer i clicked on iTunes and the icon bounced but it did not open. I don't know what to do i have tried to open using safe mode and I also tried to get rid of the plug-ins by puttin them on my desktop but nothing is working.
If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

Mail and Safari will not open after 10.4.6 update(s)
Client's Ibook was running Jaguar 10.2.8, and Mail was locking up as it was overstuffed. Upgraded to 10.4.3 to fix the problem, and it did, in fact, fix it.
Was then prompted to install all available updates, which I thought I would do as a courtesy before returning the system to the client.
Now, after the updates, neither Mail nor Safari opens. I get no spinning beach ball...just no response. Other programs, including IE, MS Office programs, and System Preferences are working fine. Starting in Safe Boot makes no difference.
Kind of at a loss and all help is appreciated...thanks in advance!OK. Do this:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. In the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. In the Finder, go to the /Applications folder, and try to open Mail and/or Safari by double-clicking on them.
4. Look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that could have been written there as a result of the failed launch. These may provide useful information to properly identify the problem.

Thank you so much for replying. However I was about to remove this post. I worked out how to do it!
If anyone is having similar issues then turn off mirroring and change the arrangement in display preferences so that the monitor works as the main display and the macbook just shows the desktop. I then turned down the brightness levels on the macbook to conserve power.
Feel very proud of myself, but thank you!

IPhoto and iMovie will not open with Mountain Lion upgrade.
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion OS 10.8, my iPhoto and iMovie will not open. I am using a newly purchased MB Air. I re-installed iPhoto from the App Store after trashing my previously installed iPhoto application. IPhoto Library Manager was downloaded as recommended on Apple Support but also will not open. I also tried to trach the iPhoto plist as recommended by a community member. Each application (iPhoto and iMovie) bounces above the dock and message received that application unexpectedly closed. Thank you for any recommendations.

Safari will not open home page and other glitches since upgrade
Strange stuff happening since I did the Combo Upgrade 10.4.11. Safari will not open to my home page. I have used preferences to set the home page but closing Safari and restarting still opens a blank page with no URL in the address box. I also noticed that several pages I have opened that have log in fields don't allow tabbing to the next field. I have checked all the preferences and every thing seems right. I have trashed Safari and its preference folder, downloaded the upgrade and used Pacifist to reinstall Safari. I used Disk Utility to repair permissions. Still I can't can't get a home page to load. Before the reinstall, I synched with .Mac to save my bookmarks and synched again afterwards to bring them into the fresh install of Safari. What should I do now?
Here is a culmination of my searching and efforts that fixed this issue for me. I find it necessary to run Disk Utility more frequently.
1) Trash Safari preferences in all user accounts:
Computer/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
2) Empty trash
3) Move files from Input manager to desktop
/Users/YourUsername/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/InputManagers/
4) Restart computer
5) Close Safari if automatically opens on restart
6) Open disk utility: Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
7) Verify permissions
8) Repair permissions
9) Reopen Safari
10) Return Input Manager files from Step 3, ONE FILE AT A TIME from Desktop to Input Manager Folder and Restart between moves. -

I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?
Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.) -
I have a 27 inch iMac with maverick os. my current version of iMovie (10.0.6) will not open older projects i created in iMovie 9.0.9. I can find the projects and they have a ".rcproject" file extension
Thank you GeeD. I'm still stymied.
I have moved the Event and Project Folders to the "top-layer of the drive" as the instructions state, right alongside the System Folder, Users Folder and Applications Folders.
When I open iMovie 10.0.8, the Events and Projects Folders are empty:
When I select File/Update Projects and Events, I get an alert box that says iMovie couldn't find any:
Not knowing exactly what is meant by the "top layer" in the instructions, I moved the Events and Project folders back inside the "Movies" folder where I found them (but then not where I would call the "top" layer, but rather "iMac/Users/Home/Movies/iMovieProjects". Then I tried to "Update Projects and Events" and received the same alert: "iMovie could not find any projects or events to update."
Then I tried to update iMovie 9.0 (iMovie '11 version 9.0 (1073)) to version 9.0.9 .
[As an aside, the nomenclature of iMovie drives me nuts. The latest version is 10.0.8, which us newer than iMovie '11.]
Back to the update of version 9.0 to 9.0.9.
Presumably because I have version 10.0.8 installed, I got this alert box:
So, I cannot update version 9.0
and I cannot "Update" the Events and Projects created in version 9.0. -
