After update, this panel is blank...

Do you have SIMBL installed? That may cause this kind of a problem.
Close all windows and quit all applications.
Macintosh HD > Library > Application support > SIMBL
If you find these two files, trash those.
ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist.
Restart the computer. Relaunch Safari.

Why is my privacy preference blank in Safari 5.1

Why is my privacy preference blank in Safari 5.1. There is no way to manage cookies. It appears on my iMac but not my Macbook. Any imput on the issue appreciated.

Safari preferences in Version 5.1 (6534.50) with respect to cookies have changed with this latest update. In July, the last time I reviewed cookies saved in Safari, I was able to delete cookies individually. This no longer appears to be possible in the latest update.
In the Preferences > Privacy pane, there is a button "Remove All Website Data" which applies to "Cookies and other website data." I don't want to use this. I want to retain some cookies but not others. Under the "Remove all" button is another one, "Details" that applies to "[This many] websites stored cookies or other data." Clicking "Details" reveals a pane that shows all the website domains that stored data in Safari. Unlike the previous version of Safari, however, the pane does not show individual cookies set by the domains. It is possible only to review all the cookies set by a domain or none of them. This is a disadvantage. I very much prefer the previous version.
Another change, I think (not sure), is that in the latest Safari, private browsing no longer appears to block new cookies. In the Safari help file, the Browsing privately page shows the following statement:
"When Private Browsing is on, webpages are not added to the history list, the names of downloads are removed from the Downloads window after downloading is complete, AutoFill information isn’t saved, and searches are not added to the pop-up menu in the search field. Websites that store databases on your computer can’t modify the databases, so services normally available at such sites may work differently until you turn off Private Browsing. Any changes made to cookies are discarded when you turn off Private Browsing."
The last sentences, in fact, imply, by omission, that new cookies may be added to Safari, even though private browsing is turned on.
For these reason, I have abandoned Safari, and I will now use Firefox, which continues to allow reviewing and editing of the complete cookie list. If Apple reconsiders and makes it possible again to review all cookies individually, I will return to using Safari
If someone know of a way to review cookies individually in the current version of Safari, please let me know. Or if I am incorrect about what the latest version of Safari permits with respect to cookies, kindly correct me.

Safari will not prevent search engine from providing suggestions, even though that block is checked in Privacy preferences.

Safari will not prevent search engine from providing suggestions, even though that block is checked in Privacy preferences.

I also seem to have having this problem, despite having checked the "prevent" option in Preferences. Typing words into the Safari search bar (NOT the Google search bar on one of Google's search pages) leads to suggestions being made:
as well as connections being made to lhr14s21-in-f7.1e100.net:
which http://66.161.36.140 suggests resolves to a Google IP address block.

Safari 5.1 crashing when choosing privacy preferences

I just upgraded to the new Safari (5.1) and it is crshing whem I try to choose privacy preferences. Any insight about this?

Could be a third party Safari addon causing Safari to crash that was compatible with the prior version of Safari but not 5.1

If you still need help, post a crash report so we can try and help you.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

Location Service in security and privacy preference pane not saved

Hi,
When I want to activate the location service inside the security and privacy preference pane, it is not save. I can check the box but if I leave the pref pane, and come back, it is still uncheck.
I notice that when I wanted to activate the icloud feature: localized my mac. Thus, it's not working due to my pref in privacy pane not saved.
I notice as well that in safari, there is a location option as well, and I can't activate it, like iCloud feature due to my pref in privacy always unchecked.
I tried to repair the authorization of my disk a couple of times
Is someone experiencing the same issue ?

The terms of service of the Apple Support Communities prevent us (Apple users) from speculating about why Apple does or does not take certain actions.
I can't tell you why it is the way it is. But I can say you could go a long way to alleviating your concern by going to System Preferences > Energy Saver and changing the sleep time such that your computer goes to sleep nearly immediately after you stop using it. Then even if you forget to log off, your computer will very quickly go to sleep and require a password.

Can't open Security & Privacy preference pane?...please help.

Hi All,
I would be grateful if anyone could assist... I can't seem to open the security & privacy preference pane. I receive the following "Preferences Error" upon trying to click the icon in my system preferences:
First click: You can’t open Security & Privacy preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac.
Second click: Could not load Security & Privacy preference pane.
I noticed the issue this past week when I installed some monitor callibration software. After downloading, the software's interface text did not load (it was simply blank for the drop down menus). The manufacturer tried to help me by clearing font cache and such, but that was not the issue. When he next directed me to the S&P pane, that's when I noticed I couldn't open it to adjust anything.
* I did go into Users & Groups and created a new admin user. I was then able to open the Security & Privacy pane, and load the monitor calibration software without any problems, so it seems to be a user issue I suppose? Tried to trash some security preferences, reinstalled 10.8.2, but with no luck.
Thanks for your assistance!

Try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This does some maintenance routines and 3rd party applications don't load. Sometimes 3rd party applications are the problem. If your normal user account works in Safe Mode, it is probably a 3rd part application.

Safari Hangs when trying on preferences panel

HI everybody!
Hi have found that safari hangs and shoul be force quitted when I do:
safari menu -> preferences -> safety (keylock icon)
Any solution?
I have migrated from an old messy machine with same version of operating system
Thanks a lot everybody !

Hi,
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. Now launch Safari. Go to Safari / Preferences - Security. If Safari doesn't freeze, move that .plist file to the Trash.

If Safari still freezes when you try accessing the Security pane, you may have migrated some Safari third party unsupported add-ons that aren't compatible with the latest version of Safari.

Firefox no longer gives automatic prompts when I type in first few letters of a search - even though my browsing history is being recorded, and "Remember search and form history" is ticked in the Privacy preferences: what's gone wrong?

Firefox has recently stopped giving (personalised) automatic prompts when I type in the first few letters of a search. What does come up is a long list of possible search subjects - but these are very general and don't reflect my own personal browsing history. My browsing history IS being recorded, however, and the "Remember search and form history" box is ticked in the Privacy preferences.
I'm not using the "Private Browsing" option.
There are two MacBooks in the house, sharing one wireless router. This problem has cropped up on both laptops - mine and my wife's - at around the same time.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Alright, I figured it out. I found the Preferences.plist in the ~/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder. I deleted it and restarted my macbook. Now Safari works!

Security and Privacy Preferences pane cannot load

My mac says the security and privacy preferences pane cannot load. How do I access this pane? I just got my logic board replaced last week from Apple, if that helps.

Hi hornetlove2,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are unable to open Security & Privacy from System Preferences. To begin the troubleshooting process, I would first suggest testing this situation out in a new user to help isolate the issue. Please let me know if the issue continues in a new user account.

Hello Wontsey & Welcome
On 6-4-06 I installed Norton Internet Security 3.0.1 for Mac. I thought maybe my problem was related to the firewall part so I unistalled it and turned the Apple firewall that came with the computer back on.
This did not help. In fact, when I try to open “Help” from the desktop menu the program opens and then immediately closes so I can’t access it.
I hate to have to tell you this Norton is the problem, looking into uninstalling it, the uninstallers that came with it are not effective so no matter you do not have the CD/DVD go to their site to get the Uninstaller
UseCocktail or OnyXto find the invisable files. Just follow Macjacks directive.
This is covered in this Topic thread,abandoning Norton Internet Security see the files Macjack speaks of in the topic thread. If you have questions post in the same forum a new topic this thread is archive, click on the link and then click"back to topic list". This is why i first came to Apple discussions, to get help with the mess Norton can make on Panther and found help as you will. It is not a Safari issue per say, rather a Norton problem.
Best of luck.
Regards; )

Security & Privacy preference pane not opening

All of my system preferences panes work except Security & Privacy. This has been broken since installing 10.9.0 and 10.9.1 hasn't fixed it. Pane tries to open then gives the error, "There was an error in Security & Privacy preference pane." Looked through other posts for solutions but nothing seems to work. Tried creating a new user account, deleting caches, systempreferences.plist. Took into Apple Store and they suggested restoring from TimeMachine backup but that did not fix it. Been dealing with this for a while but now I really need to install an unsigned app and can't get to the security pane to allow it.

Our preference panes seem to be identical.
There are two other things you might want to investigate:
1) Although this is unlikely, look in /Library/PreferencePanes to see if for some reason there might be another copy of Security.prefPane.
2) Another possibility may be that a settings file is corrupted. One such file seems to be in your account's Library folder. In the Finder hold down an "option" key while you pull down the "Go" menu, then select "Library". In the resulting window open "Preferences". Find the file com.apple.systempreferences.plist. With System Preferences not running, drag that file to the Desktop. Then see if you can access the Security & Privacy panel.

How to force unlock Security & Privacy Preferences

Have no password on my Mac (only temp) but cannot unlock Security and Privacy Preferences. Need to turn off firewall to load App.

You are welcome.
Since Yosemite, Apple seems to have gone to requiring a password.

Privacy Preferences?

When trying to chat with AIM Buddies I get an error message " your privacy preferences are set so they prevent you from communicating with this person". This happens on both 10.5.8 and 10.6.1 with iChat 4.0.8. I have used disk utility to repair permissions, am using the default port 5190, and checked the security settings I know about.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Losing Spotlight Privacy Preference

I have noticed on one of my machines (Late 2007 24" iMac w/6GB RAM) that after I set the Privacy Preferences in Spotlight after a couple days the preference is no longer there and I have to reset it.
Specifically when I'm search for something I don't want Spotlight to look on one drive which I use for backing up with SuperDuper. The drive is called SuperDup.
Does anyone have any ideas why Spotlight keeps losing this preference?

Baltwo,
Thanks,
If I understand you correctly if I use that terminal command this will permanently make it so Spotlight won't look at my SuperDup drive?
Also if I wanted to reverse it I would use:
*sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/SuperDup*
