Safari 4 open and doesnt respond straight away and windows closes it

i open safari in vista and i get a message saying the program isnt responding and closes it.
i have tried repairing it and i dont want to totally delete the program at least not without recovering my bookmarks
What can i do????

Many thanks.
Okay, we're going to try rebuilding one of your sets of Safari preference files back in the normal user account. Unfortunately, this will clear your bookmarks if it gets Safari launching again, but we've got a good chance of getting them (and your Top Sites) back again if we can get Safari launching again.
(1) Quit Safari if you have it open and log back into the usual user account.
(2) Go Start > Open.
(3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
(4) Click the View tab.
(5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
(6) Click OK.
(7) Go Start > Computer.
(8) In Computer open Local Disk C:
(9) Open the Users folder.
(10) Open the folder with the name of the Vista/7 user account in which Safari isn't launching.
(11) Open the AppData folder.
(12) Open the Roaming folder.
(13) Open the Apple Computer folder.
(14) Drag the Safari folder out onto the Desktop.
(15) Launch Safari. (This will rebuild the Safari preferences folder in the same place that we dragged the old one from.)
Does Safari launch?
If so, to get your bookmarks and top sites back, try this.
Quit Safari again. Open the Safari folder on your desktop. Copy the Bookmarks and Top Sites plist files from there and paste them into the the new Safari preferences folder that was rebuilt by the last set of instructions.
Launch Safari. Do you have your old Top Sites and Bookmarks back?

    Hello Kakohernan,
    I tried that link to access your crash report, but it's nor working properly.
    Try this... if you haven't got another user account, create one. The reason for doing this... if you log into a different account, you might be able to use Safari that way.
    Adding a new user account to your computer
    You can create individual user accounts for each person who uses your computer. Each new user has a separate home folder and can adjust his or her own preferences without affecting other users.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
    If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
    Click Add + and type the user's name.
    If you don't want to use the short name generated automatically, type a new short name. (Once the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name.)
    Type the user's password in the Password and Verify boxes.
    Type a hint to help the user remember the password if they have trouble remembering it at login.
    Click Parental Controls and select options to determine what the user can do with the computer.
    If you change your mind while you're creating a new user account, click Delete - to cancel.
    This way we'll know whether this issue effects the whole system, or just your home folder.
    Post back...

  • Every time I click an app the app opens and then closes right away.  any idea why?

    Every time I try to use an app when I click on the app it opens and then closes right away.  Any idea what I can do to fix that?

    Try this:
    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

    We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
    #'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.<br>'''(OS X 10.7 or above)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.

  • HT4759 I just got a new IPAD and transferred everything through the cloud from my old IPAD2. The new one says "this IPAD is currently being restored. It has been that way for about 2 hours. Also, I books will open and then close right away with no content

    I just got a new IPAD and transferred everything through the cloud from my old IPAD 2. The new one says "this IPAD is currently being restored. It has been that way for over two hours. Also, I Books opens and then closes right away with no content. Does it take this long, or is there an issue?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • Can not open safari. When I launch safari it opens and closes very quickly

    I have an internet connection but I can not open safari, my apps that require internet connection still work. When I launch safari it opens and closes very quickly. I have tried rebooting the Ipad several times, and have already cleared the history, cache and cookies. Please Help!!

    As Michael says - a reset will most probably fix this.
    Here are instructions on how to do this should you not have your manual handy:

    And the iPad Manual:

    Please let us know how it works out.

  • Downloaded Apps open and then close immediately

    The downloaded apps, not the apps that came with the phone, close immediately after i open them. i have reseted it multiple times and it doesnt work. HELP!!

    Hi there,
    I too have just experienced this, I suspect because I hooked my iphone up to a friends laptop when visiting on holiday (in Canada) and thought that rather than opening a new topic, I'd add on the end of this one...
    I have tried all suggestions found on Google (a restore, de-authorising my laptop and re-authorising with the itunes store, not syncing apps, downloading a new app (on the iphone and on my laptop) and then re-syncing and none of this has worked.
    Interestingly, if I download a brand new app via my laptop and sync it to my iphone, it works but all of my old apps restored from the backup open and then close within 2 seconds.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

  • Why doesn't firefox close out when I'm done with it and close it; when next I try to open firefox again I get a dialog box telling me firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer? I'm tired of doing that one of more times a day.

    1. This happens at least once a day, and sometimes multiple times. Today it's happened twice, thus far. My home page is FoxNews.com and if I leave it up overnight or for longer periods during the day firefox doesn't allow the refresh of the home page it just goes to yahoo 404--error can't find the webpage. Then when I enter FoxNews.com it adds a /error to the url and doesn't allow me to go to MY homepage. So I close firefox and then if I try to reopen it and then I get the dialog box saying firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer. Very aggravating. 2. Also the Adobe flash drive update always fails. 3. Webpages get in loops and fail to load to the point I have to stop and refresh or close out and reopen.

    One situation in which Command+w or Ctrl+w might not work is if the "focus" is in a plugin such as the Flash player used on Youtube after you interact with the player controls. Firefox will continue to send the keyboard input to the plugin until you move the focus back to the page. Does that account for any of the problem?

  • Adding javascript to page open and page close in acrobat 8.1.2

    Reading the Acrobat Javascript Object Specification on page 22 it says that you can add javascript to the "page open" and "page close" events of a document.
    It then says that under the menu "Document -> Set page action" you can add scripts for those events
    I am using Acrobat 8.1.2 and under the document menu there is no "Set page action". And there is nowhere where I can find any "set page action" menu...
    whats the deal?
    How can i set the page open and page close events in acrobat professional 8.1.2?????????????
    Marc

    - open the Navigation Panel 'Pages'
    - select the page and open the page properties
    - in the actions tab you can set the page actions
