Safari 4.0.1 bounces in dock does not launch
I am running 10.5.7 all the latest updates and am on a Macbook. For some reason when I upgraded to Safari 4 the application would not launch. It started with the beta version and I have never been able to even get it to launch at all. It just bounces in the dock a few times and thats it no window no nothing. I have tried a bunch things from uninstalling to reinstalling, deleting cache files, preferences, moving internet plug-ins out of the folder etc...I have been trying to troubleshoot this one but still nothing.
Here is the good news. When I log in as a Guest on the machine Safari will launch! So obviously something has gone corrupt in the User Setting here and I was thinking instead of troubleshooting this all day I would just copy everything over to the Guest User that works, rename the Account and we would be up and running. Is this easy to do? I tried looking for help and no answers as of yet. So, unless someone can help me with the Safari issue which might be time consuming it would be appreciated if I could get some instr. on transferring over User Accounts from one User to another on the same machine, same Hard Drive.
Thanks.
Hi
Usually these non-starter situations are due to incompatible add-ons. As it does not affect the Guest Account, then the add-on would be installed in your regular user account.
Via the Finder: have a look in these locations:
Your User Account>Library:
InputManagers folder
Applications Support>SIMB>Plugins folder
If anything is found in either location (note, you may not have a SIMBL folder in your system), move that plugin(s) to the desktop, then restart Safari.
If Safari opens without issue, let me know the names of the plugins you moved to the Desktop.

Application bounces in dock but does not launch
When I double-click on a FileMaker file, it used to automatically launch FileMaker Pro 8 Advanced until about a week ago. Now, when I double-click on a FileMaker file, the applcation icon bounces for a fraction of a second in the Dock but does not launch.
If I drag the file to the application, then FileMaker launches.
Other applications are not exhibiting this odd behavior.
How can I fixt it?
G5 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.2)remove (drag out) the filemaker icon from the dock, open finder and locate the filemaker application and drag it back to dock.
If this does not help, the console messages mentioned before might help us more. -
The itunes application icon on my dock does not bring up itunes. I have no problem accessing itunes from my iphone though, so I believe it is computer related rather than an itunes issue. Haven't had this problem before.
Does the icon in your dock look like this?
Can you open iTunes successfully from your Mac's Applications folder?
Are you running the current version of iTunes (11.2.2)? If not, get it from here:

Greetings everybody,
I have run into a peculiar problem with the Safari browser on mobile platforms (IPad, IPod, IPhone) which I hope I can find a solution for in this community.
I just launched a new website where I sell products with certain variations, for example please view this link: http://www.finerribbon.com/aegean-single-face-satin-ribbon.html
On this particular product, the product variants are supposed to work in such a way where:
If you select the value "1/8" from the "Choose Ribbon Width" field
THEN
The only options active and available to choose from in the "Choose Roll Size" field should be: 500 Yds, 20 Yds & Sample Swatch
Now, if we browse to the above link in Safari using a desktop or a laptop, there are no problems at all, but if we browse to the above link using an IPhone or an Ipad, then we have a problem where all the options are available regardless of the values chosen, basically the above functonality does not work.
I was told that there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly, is this true? Can anyone advise me if there is a solution to this problem? I would sincerely apperciate it.
Thank you very much for your time and help!Hi...

At the top of this window you'll see the following:
Apple Support Communities > Mac OS & System Software > Safari > Discussions
This the Safari forum for the Mac OS X.
Better that you post your topic here > Developer Forums: Apple Support Communities
I do see on my iPad what you are rreferring to. But you shoudl get the feedback you need in the developer forum. -
My Safari screen is grayed out. It does not respond to touch. How can I restore it back to life?
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. then hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to start up.
You can also reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep button and home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears (takes about 10 seconds) - ignore the red slider.

Also, I can seem to down load my Adobe Flash, I did download what I thought was the correct down load for Safari, but I'm still getting this message "We're sorry but the Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar."

I am having problems with the dock on my iMac. The dock does not appear and the display freezes continually. Any help?
If you have Parallels installed and have updated to 10.6.8, there is a know conflict involving the dock behavior. The solution is to update Parallels to the latest version.

My dock does not show what files are open... Any way to fix?
My dock does not show if a file is open. No little arrow shows up, and when I click and hold on an icon of an open program it acts as if it is not open (still giving me the open program option, and not showing me force quit options, etc...).
Advice please?This issue makes me wonder what "genius" at Apple designed the new Dock display. I'm by no means old or losing my sight, I wear glasses but other than that no problems. So why is it so difficult to see those balls under the active apps? They are so blended in that it's not easy to see them at a glance. Why not at least give us the option to adjust those settings.

Everytime I open my imac I get an error message that says: "We're sorry but the Safari browser version your are currently using does not support the community toolbar." I can't see where it affects anything else, but getting an error message on an imac, just doesn't seem right, ya know? How can I get rid of the message.
Apparently an add-on named Community Toolbar was installed at one time, and is causing the problem. To get rid of it, quit Safari, then throw away these files -
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Macintosh HD/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
Macintosh HD/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Note - if you are using Lion, the Library folder in your home folder (user name folder) is hidden. To get into it, in Finder open the Go menu; with that menu open, press and hold the Option key. An item "Library" will be added to the list, and can then be selected. That will open the Library folder in your home folder. -

Safari in iPad mini iOS 6.1 does not open my friends site but in my macpro it does?
Hi.
Safari in iOS 6.1 iPad mini does not open my friends site but in my MacPro it does? Why?
It opens other sites alright. Maybe I missed setting things up right. It seems to do everything.
WalterThe site is based on Flash, and there is no Flash Player for the iPad and almost certainly never will be, Adobe having dropped all development of Mobile Flash for any platform, so you cannot view that site natively on your iPad. You can try one of the app/service combinations for playing Flash such as Skyfire , Puffin, or iSwifter. One of those might work for you, though they all have limitations and do not work with all Flash-based sites and services

Control-click the Dock's divider line and enable hiding. If that's not the setting you want, check the settings inside the games.

Hi,
I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest version in order to sync music onto my new ipod shuffle. However after a successful installation the application does not launch or open? There are no error messages. The application is just unresponsive.
I have already checked the compatibility with Safari, my operating system and checked my firewall is not blocking it - all is fine.
Does anyone have any other resolutions?
Many thanksHi Carolyn,
Thank you for your time and response. The trouble is I am unable to launch iTunes? I have restarted my macbook air a number of times to try and initiate the application but the issue persists and the application remains unresponsive. Will not launch?
Thanks
