OS X Safari Reset

I have different setting in the "View" section of "Safari" on different computers and devices. Is there a "Reset" to original setting for Safari? I would like all my systems to have the same settings. Comments are welcome.

Hi ..
It's impossible for the settings to be identical bedause your are referring to computers and devices.
Two different operating systems.
Mac OS X vs iOS.

  • Why does iTunes and Safari reset data everytime its closed

    I have a power mac G5 and after I updated to the highest software update available, I find that iTunes and Safari reset their data everytime I close them. I have checked all settings and tried resetting to regular software and trying again. Any ideas?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • My macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset. the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from the 'top sites' page.

    my macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset.
    the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from safari 'top sites' (without a hassle). attempts to reset dock and hot corners from preferences has been fruitless
    the mouse also gets 'stuck' in logic precipitating force quits.
    i run osX 10.6.8 on a 2007 macbook pro that has had 2 motherboards replaced autumn 2010.
    my troubleshooting has been: restart, pRam and safe boot, also checking a 'test' account to find the same issues extant.
    pRam restart caused airport to quit and say there is no airport card, and wouldn't respond untill another reboot.
    macbook pro 15" 2.4 GHz intel core duo.2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    i have treated this book with care, yet run logic pro studio to the limit of this book's abilities.
    what shoud i do?

    You don't say which year you have, however...
    ...there are known problems with the mid-2010 models (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) as well as early and late 15" 2011 models (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0).
    Apple has taken ownership of the problems with the 2010 model but, unfortunately, the free logic board replacement for that model has probably long expired for you - three years after date of purchase.
    One the 2011 models Apple has admitted no defect. You'll just have to skim the articles to get an overview of the problems that people are having (usually showing up as screen glitches at first and then going downhill from there).
    Good luck,

    I just dragged the entire ~/Library/cookies folder to the trash and then rebooted and it seemed to solve the problem.

  • Safari reset & my bookmarks bar

    does
    'resetting' safari effect in anyway the current state of
    my bookmarks collections?
    thanks

    d,
    A Safari Reset will not disturb your current Bookmark File.
    You can provide additional insurance by backing up the /Users/yourusername/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist file.

  • Safari Reset, cookies cleared, but I'm still auto-logged in on a forum?

    I've noticed on a few forums I use that despite clearing the cookies from Safari manually or just resetting it with all options checked, even though it shows that there are no cookies set in preferences after these operations I'm still being auto-logged into some of forums. This is Safari on 10.5 Leopard.
    The login data for these forums is definitely cookie based as well because I've tried visiting them with Firefox on my Windows machine, logging in with "keep me logged in" checked, and then reset Firefox. Sure enough revisiting the sites shows me as logged out.
    Not only that but Safari on my iMac which is running Tiger works as expected on the same sites. Its just Safari on Leopard that is apparently ignoring my reset command?

    Well I assumed I had been, I was using the "Reset Safari" menu option and one of the selections is to clear the cache and it is selected.
    I have been trying this now since I posted and it looks like I've sort of worked it out now though. I tend to reset safari then instantly quit the app with Command+Q. It seems like when I was doing that I managed to do it so fast the reset command wasn't completing before the app quit, meaning some cookies/cache/whatever remained intact.
    I used reset and let it sit their open on a blank page for ten seconds before I quit and when I restarted it I was no long auto-logged in to the websites. I can only assume therefore this was the problem, although, I didn't think I was that quick at quitting the app?

  • Safari Reset Doesn't Work

    I'm having a bit of trouble. Safari is no longer responding to the reset function. I click it, it opens the dialog asking me if I really want to do this, I click yes, and then nothing happens. I think this started after I downloaded the latest security update. Has anybody else had this problem? Is there a solution? Thank you.
    12 iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4)   512 MB RAM

    Hey just found that plist it was in my home file. So I deleted it and now Safari has done a complete reset. Let's hope this works, eh? How much plist info does it need to build up before the cookie list becomes indestructable? Why does OS X claim to so something but doesn't?
    Many thanks guys respect..

  • Safari resets current site to Top site when opening the new tab.

    Hi there,
    I have MacBook 10.5.8 installed. I got problem with Safari as when i'm opening new tab then new tab opens but current tab (visited site) gets reset to Top site.
    Example:
                        I launched Safari & browsed www.google.com.
                        Then i pressed key combination of Command + T to open the new tab to browse www.apple.com.
                        Just after pressing this key combination new tab opened but previous site google.com page disappeared & changed to Top Sites.
                        Safari version:     5.0.6
    I tried resetting then reinstalling & it worked properly but temporarily. I couldn't fix it permanently.
    Any help in the same would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click the Reload button on the location/address bar to open the current page in a new tab.
    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click items in the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons to open a page from that list in a new tab<br>You can hold down the left mouse button on the Back or Forward button to open the tab history.
    * Duplicate a tab with its history by pressing the Option key and dragging the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    * Dragging a tab in the browser window will detach the tab and move it to a new window, this is called tab tearing.
    * Drag a tab back to the tab bar in the original or anther window to undo a detach or move a tab to a specific window. If a window gets empty (you tear off the last tab) then that window will be closed automatically.

  • Safari reseting prefs, home page, and bookmarks

    upon startup when i load safari my preferences, tool bar, home page, and recently my bookmarks have been reseting. any web page will not load until i reset safari, and delete cache, and restart safari. if I change the prefs to mine the next time I startup it happens again.

    Limewire is a major source of malware for computers, even Macs.
    If you allow a Trojan to be installed, the user's DNS records can be modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's (that's you!) DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
    You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works here:
    http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojanosxdnschanger.shtml
    SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/
    The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
    (Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
    and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days free trial the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)
    Stop using LimeWire. LimeWire (and other peer-to-peer sharing applications and download torrents) are hotbeds of potential software issues waiting to happen to your Mac. Everything from changing permissions to downloading trojans and other malicious software can be acquired from using these applications. Similar risks apply to using Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube and similar sites which are prone to malicious hacking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8420233.stm
    Resist the temptation to download pirated software. After the release of iWork '09 earlier this year, a Trojan was discovered circulating in pirated copies of Apple's productivity suite of applications (as well as in pirated copies of Adobe's Photoshop CS4). Security professionals now believe that the botnet (from iServices) has become active. Although the potential damage range is projected to be minimal, an estimated 20,000 copies of the Trojan have been downloaded. SecureMac offer a simple and free tool for the removal of the iBotNet Trojan available here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/files/iServicesTrojanRemovalTool.dmg
    Also, there is the potential for having your entire email contact list stolen for use for spamming:

  • TS3230 When scrolling down a web page, Safari resets to the top of the page and will not stay where I stopped the scroll..

    When two finger scrolling in Safari, it resets itself to the top of the web page - not where I stopped.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • Help with dock, desktop, and safari reseting

    For some reason the last time i shut my 20 inch imac down, it wouldnt shut off completely, so i held down the power button to shut it off. The next time i started up my dock, the desktop, and my safari settings all reset, does anyone have an idea of what could have happened?

    Similar Problem with MacPro. Freeze up while logging out of non-admin account <force quit using power button <restart resulted in ano-admin account reconfigured and could not acces mail or reconfigure via Preferences (e.g., dock, desktop background, etc. The Administrator account was not effected.
    FIX that worked: after much fiddling appeared that Permissions was problem. So- went to Mac HD (startup volume) <users <non-admin account < reset permissions using [command] and set permissions (Ownership & Permissions < Details (for both Owner and Group) to allow read & write ppermissions. Now it appears all is well. For some reason the freeze-shutdown glitch had reset the Ownership & Permissions to "system" and "no access allowed".
    Hope this helps
    Take care and a safe Thanksgiving

  • Safari Reset Bug on 10.10.3

    Upgraded to 10.10.3 today.  Every time I launch Safari it is totally reset.  Favorites bar is missing, shows the getting started window.  I've tried everything I can think of and the browser is completely reset each time it's closed and then opened.  Help?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Safari Resets on each close

    Hi,
    My copy of Safari 5 keeps resetting every time I close it. I lose bookmarks, history and extensions. This started in Leopard. It keeps giving me the copy I get after a fresh install of Safari, with the default bookmark tabs, every time i open it.
    I deleted Safari using AppCleaner, then I reinstalled Safari after downloading it from Apple, both before and after the upgrade to Snow Leopard, all the way to 10.6.4. I have fixed and repaired permissions. Completely baffled. Only extension I use is clicktoFlash. Happens even if no extension installed. Examined plist file, keeps defaulting to the copy on first install.
    I loved Safari until this started happening. Just want it to keep my bookmarks and tabs after each open.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Hi and welcome...
    So many new users here.
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari (Command + Q)
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Launch Safari. See if it resets itself. If it does, then just move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
    ClickToFlash should be ok.
    If troubleshooting the .plist file doesn't help, "keeps giving me the copy I get after a fresh install of Safari, with the default bookmark tabs, every time i open it."
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Safari folder. Move the Bookmarks.plist file to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.
    Carolyn
