Safari 5.0.6 will not run

I have tried everything from multiple threads on this issue to no avail.  I am on a G5 iMac running 10.5.8 and Safari v.5.0.6, everytime I launch Safari it begins to open apple's homepage and crashes every time. If I re-launch it gets slightly further then crashes again any idea how to fix this thing?
Firefox works fine no issues, just Safari.

everytime I launch Safari it begins to open apple's homepage and crashes every time
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
Click Show Cookies.
Type   apple   in the search field top right corner of that window then click Remove All / Done
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If Safari still crashes after deleting the cookies, could be a third party Safar add on causing Safari to crash. Troubleshooting help here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

  • Downloaded safari 6.0.4 but it will not run on 10.6.8 on

    I downloaded safair 6.0.4 to a macbook running 10.6.8 but Safari will not run the new verstion, only the 5.9.1??

    For 10.6.8 you need Safari 5.1.10.
    Ideally, you'd now install a system backup made before you got 6.0.4 on there... if that's not possible, download Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard & use Pacifist to 'force' the install, then restart. Backup first, if you haven't already.

  • Quicktime plugin will not run in any browser including Safari!  Help!

    Quicktime plugin will NOT run in any browser.  I've been reading a lot about this issue and it seems to be a widespread problem.  I didn't have this issue a few weeks ago.  perhaps it has something to do with OS 10.6.7?  Help, desperate for a solution.

    Post a URL?  Not sure what you mean as it does not seem to be website specific.  I can't view apple movie trailers on apple.com in Safari or Firefox.  The plugins just are not there.  I've download QT and it shows up in my Utilities folder but no where to be found within firefox plugins/add-ons - same goes for Safari but the plug-ins I do have ARE enabled.  Each time I try, I get the install missing plugin prompt, which I do, and as stated before - nothing happens.  I've read a lot about moving things in/out of internet plug-in folders in various places, preferences folders, etc. but no luck so far.
    Thank you.

  • New Security Update and now apple based programs will not run

    I recently downloaded and installed the new security update. I also attempted to download the safari 3.1 update, but an error occurred during download. After restart, iTunes, Mail, Safari, Installer and iMovie will not start (Quicktime will start). The applications from bar and from applications folder will not launch. All third party apps seem to work (I used Explorer 5.2-which I found hidden in one of my folders- to download firefox which I am using now)
    I have tried:
    -Reinstalling most recent Leopard Update (10.4.11), which fails to even start because Installer crashes
    -Deleting preference files
    -Using disk utility
    -Booting from safe mode and single user mode
    -Running repair permissions from prompt screen (command-s)
    -"Problem Report for Installer" reads:

  • It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a G% dual 2.0ghz, now my older version of Firefox is gone...

    I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a Mac G5 dual 2.0ghz. Now my older version of Firefox is gone...Why won't it work, the download page says it is for OSX and does not say it will not work on any particular OSX. Can your clarify. And can I get the old Firefox 3 back or should I continue using Safari....?

    Yes I've read every one of them, none of them provide solutions whatsoever, I have spent about ten hours on this site in the past two days to no avail, none of the "resolved" threads provided any sort of solution for me, I have tried everything suggested on this website so far, multiple times, to no avail.

  • Fire Fox v3.6.3 will not run in normal or safe mode, also will not uninstall

    FF v 3.6.3 for windows vista will not open and run in normal or safe mode, FF will not uninstall from folder or add/remove programs, tried to reinstall from Mozilla site did not work. Internet Explorer also will not run and crashes. I am using Safari it runs fine no problems. FF has been crashing for about a week unexpectedly but will reopen and run, but will not run at all now..?

    From the Crash ID information, it seems this is related to the AVG antivirus, version 8.5. If possible, please try updating you AVG installation (the program) to latest version; according to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547210 Bug 547210] AVG has released an update May 17. to AVG version 9 that should fix this problem.
    Please let us know if this fixes the problem with Firefox crashing.

  • Help Flash player will not run in Internet Explorer 11?

    I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player and it will not run in Internet Explorer 11.  I have done the things suggested in the help/forum section. What else can I try?

    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • I have put Netflix on my Macbook Pro but Silverlight will not run. I receive a black screen that says "player error." Does anyone have a solution for this. Netflix support is not so hot.

    Try running Safari in 32 bit mode.  In get info box for Safari,
    check open in 32 bit mode.  There have been some oddities
    on some systems that can cause some issues.
    I had thought MS had fixed this, but may not have.

  • Google earth will not run since downloading yosemite

    google earth will not run since downloading yosemite

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Safari 3.1.2 will not play iweb slideshows

    Hi All
    I have never done this, so I hope I ask the right question.
    Safari on my G5 will not play any slideshows, made with iWeb. And this is not a problem only with my websites, but from others too! I have two pc's at home as well and I have checked in different places. The slideshows are playing OK on those machines. I have been trying to get this resolved for weeks now, trying to find answers on forums, but haven't found any. And 'yes' I have turned plugins etc, on in the prefs. Hope someone can help.
    Harry

    Hi Toni, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    In the Safari Menu, Empty Caches, quit Safari, then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

  • Safari 8.0.2 will not install

    Running Yosemite 10.10.1.  The Safari 8.0.2 will not install.  Says it has installed several times in the App Store but is also still available for download.  Have checked Safari itself and the version is still 8.0.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I did it again. Now it will not run and I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I can't figure out what is running.

    Because of a problem, I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I uninstalled/reinstalled it again. Now it will not run. I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I have uninstalled multiple times and can't figure out what is running. The is only one Firefox installed and it is not open. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.

  • Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

    I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
    I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

    The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
    Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
    Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
    Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?
    Is Adobe Flash Player v15.0.0.189 (or higher) installed on her computer?

  • Office 2013 applications will not run as a domain users

    I have a windows 7 64-bit pc with 2013 office home and and business installed. When trying to access Office as a domain user the programs will not run. Is there a fix for this other than making the users local admins?

    Hi,
    Which version of Office 2013 did you deployed, Windows Installer-based version or the Click-to-Run version?
    Did you install the Office product with local administrator account? I notice that the users must be local administrators on their computers to install Office:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624360.aspx
    If we add the local admin right to the user, can the Office programs be launched? If so, repair the Office programs and then remove the local admin right. See if it can work.
    Best regards,
