Just upgraded to lion 10.7.3 Safari problems.  Please help.

   Really need help with this one.  Yesterday I upgraded to Lion 10.7.3.  Safari does not work in my account.  When I try to log onto safari it just pulls up a blank page with a spinning beach ball.  I logged into a guest accout and it worked fine.  Logged into my daughters account and it worked fine,  and also works fine in safe mode.  Also afer I logged out of safe mode and restarted,  Safari worked fine until I quit it and then tryed to log on again.  This is driving me crazy.  I do have a bootable backup along with time machine back up.  Would it be easier to do a full earse of the HD,  then install lion.  After which I am assuming I could just pull the files off time machine that I want,  just photos and videos.  Also when I pull up activity monitor it show a webprocess using a 100% of my cpu.  In the other accounts this is not a problem.

Are any Safari extensions installed? If so, disable them and try again. If not, proceed as follows.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are several lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(x|postfix|ntp|cups)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta} * L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item'
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

  • Safari Problems: Please Help!

    I'm having major issues with Safari recently on my PowerBook. I can open Safari normally but after I go to sites I frequent regularly, including the discussions Safari starts to act like it has lost network connection and won't go to any websites at all. I'm forced to Quit, but then Safari starts to become unresponsive and I'm left with no options except a "Foce Quit". This started happening today out of the clear blue. Safari still works perfect on my iMac (at least so far). I have repaired permissions before and after the update I made the other day. One thing I have noticed on the Activity Monitor is that Safir seems to be totally hogging CPU usage and memory even on basic sites such as this discussion forum. I have unchecked the box next to "Warn when visiting a fraudulent website" Since I'm not near my iMac at this time this message was posted in Firefox on my PowerBook
    Safari Version 3.2.1 (4525.27.1)
    Please help me, and thank you.

    I have the exact same problem using safari 3.2.1 on my Powerbook and on my iMac.
    No such problem using Firefox, which is what I am using right now.
    Therefore, a bug must be in "fraudulent sites". Also - this just happened - in preferences/fraudulent sites, it states "the Google Safe Browsing Services is unavailable. No updates have occurred in 2 says".
    I wonder if there is a connection between these two issues? If so, it is not a good idea making an application's stability dependent on external web site functionality.

  • New window in Safari does not open under my default homepage - just upgraded to Lion

    I just upgraded to Lion and whenever I open Safari, it opens on the last page I used versus that my default homepage.
    Is this a bug? It worked fine prior to upgrading and I didn't change any of my settings.
    Thanks

    Just talked with support... two options...
    Opton 1 (turns off the new "Resume" feature which is new to Lion...) Under System Prefs, click OFF the check box for Restore windows when quitting and re-openingn apps....
    Option 2... when you quit Safari, include the option key... so option-command-Q to quit... this quits and discards the windows you have open...
    Made my protest to this silly change known... it should be a check box in Safari to load last page, not effect another programs functionability... You're slipping Apple... that's a Microsoft move!

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

  • I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and it says that it will not support Power PC programs so my 2008 version of Mac Office and Intuit Quickbooks are blanked out.  I need these programs.  How do I proceed?

    Upgrade to newer versions compatible with Lion or downgrade to Snow Leopard:
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

    I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

    Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
    There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
    The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

  • I've just upgraded to Lion and finder no longer shows how much free disk space I have left

    Hi I've just upgraded to Lion and when im now in finder i can no longer see how much free or used hard disk space i have. anyone know how to turn this back on?

    Hi Alan,
    I think you are looking for this:
    From the Finder, select View > Show Status Bar and like magic, your info is revealed like how it was with snow leopard at the bottom of the finder window.
    If you have the finder window at the bottom of your screen then it might be below the screen, just move the window up. That happened for me when I revealed it.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have a macbook and I just upgraded to Lion upgraded my iTunes software also setup a gmail acct in addition to my aol acct...just checked diagnostics and the connection doctor says I'm connected with server for both mail systems, but I'm not getting mail

    I have a macbook and I just upgraded to Lion, downloaded the new software for Itunes and added a gmail account in addition to my existing aol account.  Altho both mail systems are visible in my mail account I'm no longer receiving emails from either account.  I checked the mail doctor and both accounts are connected to the server, but I can't figure out why I'm not receiving emails any longer.  I'm trying to clean-up my stuff before I add my new Iphone, but I must admit all of this is rather daunting. Also does anyone know when tech support is available?  it must be PST cause no one is there at 8AM EST!

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.

    Hi Anythony ...

  • Just upgraded to Lion, problem now syncing contacts onto Blackberry using Desktop Manager

    I just upgraded to Lion, got iCloud going.  Works great with my iPhone, but my husbands Blackberry no longer syncs properly using the Blackberry Desktop Manager.  Installed the latest version of that program & still no luck.  The calendar, music and photos sync fine, but all of the contacts have been wiped out now on the phone and not a single one will sync over from the mac.

    I have the same problem.  I've tried many solutions but no success.  ICloud has been a curse.  I love my Mac but if I can't sync my BB 9930, I may have to change.

  • I just upgraded to Lion and switched my web page from MobileMe to Godaddy. But since upgrading to Lion a video I placed on my web page no longer shows up. instead I get "plug-in failure". That didn't happen until the Lion Upgrade what do I do?

    I just upgraded to Lion and switched my web page from MobileMe to Godaddy. But since upgrading to Lion a video I placed on my web page no longer shows up. instead I get "plug-in failure". That didn't happen until the Lion Upgrade what do I do?

    What's the format of your video? That will give you a hint as to what plugin is failing (or missing).
    If you don't know, what's the URL of your site - it shouldn't take long for someone to work out the specifics.

  • Hi just upgraded to lion , now i can't use "word" can this be for real?

    hi just upgraded to lion, now i cant use "word" help please

    If it's Word 2004 or earlier, it's for real. That is a PPC app and it is no longer supported in Lion. You need an Intel version of Office. You and a lot of others who didn't know are out in the cold.

  • I just upgraded to Lion on my work computer.

    I just upgraded to Lion on my work computer. Can't connect to iCloud with my @me.com account. I go to system preferences iCloud and put in my email and password and tries to move my MobileMe account to iCloud. Which I had already done. And then show my account status with An error was returned from the server. Please try again later. That is as far as it will let me go.
