My Safari Extensions preference page is blank. How do I resolve it? (Safari 5.1.2 on Lion 10.7.2)

I found my extensions window blank back when I used Snow Leopard. I thought Lion and new updates will eventually solve it. But it is still there. I tried everything I can. I tried downloading Safari 5.1.2 and reinstalling it. It didn't work. Then I uninstaled safari using CleanMyMac and then tried installing it from scratch. It didn't work. When I googled I found that deleting some plist file resolves the problem on some older version of Safari. But I cannot locate that plist file on Lion. How can I get back my extensions preference page?

Delete the following items:
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL
/Library/LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
/Library/ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL, as it’s one of the worst articles of crapware on the Mac platform. It’s likely to come bundled with some other modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

  • Flex Builder - preference pages are blank

    I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this and I can't,
    so I guess I'll come here and see if anyone has a solution.
    In my Preferences->General->Keys prefs page, most of
    the widgets are gone.
    In my properties page for a Flex Library, the Flex Library
    Build Path is mostly empty.
    In properties->Flex Modules, that page is completely blank
    except for the title.
    (There's other pages that have screwed up unusable widgets as
    well, but I can't find them all.)
    Now, before you start throwing newb solutions at me, here's
    what I have done:
    - I have installed FB3 standalone - same issue.
    - I have installed the plugin into a new Ganymede 3.4
    install. Worked, but crashed in a flash module consistently when
    encoding images.
    - I downloaded the most recent 3.3 Europa JEE distro from
    Eclipse.org and installed FB3 Plugin into that, exact same issue.
    I have even tried to get some useful information out of
    Eclipse by turning on what little debug trace options are available
    for Flex - no dice. It's probably in Eclipse code somewhere anyway.
    I'm running on Vista 64, a C2D and 8 gigs of ram, all up to
    date.
    I've seen a couple other people have this problem - anyone
    have a solution?
    Adobe engineers, can you tell me how to debug this?
    Reproducibility is probably right out, but if you tell me how to
    turn on the logging I need, I'll debug the crap out of it.
    Cheers,
    Jason

  • From the time i upgraded to os lion my battery backup from 7 hours became 4 hours, how do i resolve it?

    from the time i upgraded to os lion my battery backup from 7 hours became 4 hours, how do i resolve it?

    When you upgrade to Lion, Spotlight will re-index your hard drive. This happens only once, but can take a while and may eat a lot of battery. Is still Spotlight indexing? If yes, then check your battery amount in the coming days after the indexing is complete. If Spotlight is done indexing, do the same and check it the coming days.

  • I just downloaded Lion.  Now when I open Safari, it automatically opens to the last page visited.  How do I reset it to open to a blank page as it did previously?

    I just downloaded Lion.  Now when I open Safari, it automatically opens to the last page visited.  How do I reset it to open to a blank page as it did previously?

    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

  • Safari 5.1 Blank Extensions Preference Pane

    Running Safari 5.1 on Lion, I have noticed that the Extensions Preferences Pane, is often blank when I bring it up despite having at least 4 extensions enabled. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Even if I right-click on the pane to Reload, nothing happens -- the pane still appears completely blank.

    Safari 5.1 blank page at startup
    Barry,
    I agree, the blank page must be a new bug, total bummer for me and the old workflow.  Running Safari Version 5.1 Mac OS X (10.6.8), it also happened after the recent update.
    Sometimes the bleeding edge is much less cool than the cutting edge.  I hope Apple fixes it on the next release.

    I tried editing my first post but couldn't get there...
    If you can open Safari go to the top of your screen, click Safari / Preferences then select the General stab. You can type in the web address for your Home page there.

  • I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock but does not load as set in my preferences and the title page remains blank even though I have set-up a home page. I completely re-initialised safari, but no change.

    I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock (white dot) but does not startup as set in system preferences. Also, if I open safari, the title page remains blank even though I have set a home page under safari's preferences. I re-initialised safari, but no change.

    Having put my home-page under "new windows open with home-page" solves the "blank title page problem".
    One problem left: "safari" does not startup automatically as set in system preferences, whereas "mail", also set for startup DOES startup

  • Macbookpro How to remove Cookies? When go to help and clk on how to remove cookies the page is blank?

    Juno Email will not download the inbox, Juno Tech says 1st remove cookies. Mac Help has "how to remove cookies" but when clk the page is blank?

    What application are you taking about?
    Safari has the option to remove them in the privacy or security tab of the preferences. Also try 'Safari > Reset Safari' it may allow you to select an option to delete the cookies.
    I don't know what 'Juno email' is. If it is failing in a Safari you may want to try another web browser, like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?

  • Safari extensions window has gone blank

    Hey everyone!
    My safari extensions window has gone blank. I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.4, and I recently downloaded some extensions from the Apple Site.
    I've trashed the Library/Safari/Extensions plist folder and re-booted but this has not helped. I can install them but not manage them through the preferences > extensions window. Any advice appreciated.

    Have you done disk repair ? Oopen disk utility select the HD then (after turning off all other programs) run Verify Disk, then repair permissions.
    I was told when I got my first computer that before installing new, and after installing new software, repair disk permnissions.
    I hope that helps.
    You might want to pull stuff out of the trash...

  • Pdf pages display blank in safari

    Using Safari, when I go to a webpage with a .pdf URL the page is blank.  I recently upgraded to Lion and purchased/installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro  (I was using Acrobat 7.0 with Snow Leopard). The only to access these types of pages is by trying to download linked file (which sometimes doesn't work).

    Quit Safari. Look in the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder (not the home folder).
    If you see anything with PDF in the middle of it, drag that file to desktop. Then re-start Safari and enjoy.

  • Everytime I open a new tab, it is a blank search page (Bing)..how do i change it ?

    When starting Firefox my set homepage shows up, but everytime I open a new tab it goes to a blank search page automatically. How do I change it so my homepage will show every time a tab is opened?

    I'm using Firefox 3.6.10
    When I opened a new tab, Bing search showed up. When I start up Firefox for the first time, Google remained my home page.
    I went to Tools, Add-Ons where I found a Search Toolbar that was powered by Bing. After I disabled it, new tabs opened up blank.
    I downloaded Google Toolbar and now my new tabs are Google again.
