Safari 5.1, customization not working.

In Lion, old bookmark bar sites will not stay deleted. Also the customization of the toolbar does not stick. what do I do? Is there a problem with Lion?

I have a vista windows basic O/S operating using a compaq laptop with Safari alongside googlechrome and internet explorer use safari for it's simplicity and user friendliness when gaining access to the web.
Downloaded latest safari 5.1 software update as it was available and prompted me to do so, did this simple task but since then i have not been alble to use the **** thing tried everything including uninstall and reinstall but to no avail.
Wondering if any others can help me solve this annoying problem, I assume that Apple have had some corrupt files uploaded to the web and consequently everything has had this problem.
I know asumption is the mother of all **** ups and I may have missed a simple operation to put it right but I am not an expert and need some very good techy help to put this back into working order please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Safari and mail does not work

Safari and mail is not working on my new iPad with iOS 5.1.1, tried every trick in the book but to no avail. Please suggest in case I want to update my ios5.1.1 as I fear that it might have corrupted somehow, what's the way to do it. I don't want to upgrade to higher iOS versions. Thanks

Close Safari and Mail app on the Task Bar and re-launch.
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold Safari and Mail app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work. I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will. This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?

Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

Hey there sarunelis,
It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

For Safari try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History).
You could also try closing the two apps completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail and Safari apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Safari 8 hover does not work over google map location pins

OS X 10.10.1, Safari 8, Java 8-25
I have always had little odd things not work when using safari on a large % of websites I visit, the latest issues are
no response when hovering over google map location pins, travel site calendars not opening or responding to mouse, drag and drop
show the item being dragged several inches away from the actual pointer, some links don't respond, missing items
or odd layout with print or pop ups going off the screen on some website pages, zooming in and out does not help. I have none
of these issues when using Firefox or Chrome. Been using Safari for 4 years now.

Have you tried a PRAM and an SMC reset? They're longshots, but don't take long to try.
PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Have you run Apple Diagnostics from the disc(s) that shipped with the computer?
Since the problem occurs in all browsers, it still sounds like a video hardware or video RAM or maybe a software issue having to do with layers and rendering.
The map layers aren't getting rendered, or if rendered, aren't getting displayed.
Do you have any browser add-ins? Pop-up blockers?
Since you have two video chipsets, it's possible that might be related to the issue.
This non-Apple website talks about switching between chipsets on the various MacBook models so equipped, and points to a free 'donationware' program for the menubar that lets you easily switch between chipsets:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-unibody-faq/macboo k-pro-unibody-switching-between-graphics-processors.html
Trying to think of other software that might help pinpoint the problem, does the iPhoto Slideshow 'Shatter' template work? Working properly, it 'shatters' images into several color layers and rotates them in and out to build and deconstruct photos.

Safari 6.2 does NOT work in Mountain Lion; huge issues

Question is does anyone have any ideas about this.
Also my purpose is to WARN people NOT to upgrade to 6.2!!!
15" mid-2013 MBPr running 10.8.5. Upgraded to Safari 6.2 today and regret it mightily (this is why I rarely upgrade until FORCED). Immediately, could not open most of my Google docs or Gmail. Kept getting this dialog:
"This error has been reported to Google and we'll look into it as soon as possible. Please reload your page to continue."
But I couldn't reload--the error kept continuing. Endless loop of click Ok and it comes back. Plus, got colored spinning beach ball hangs on MANY other sites (including ironically Apple site to go to support forums). and every 3 seconds "webpages have stopped
NONE OF THIS was going on with the same tabs opened in 6.1.x or whatever it was before that. It was slow, but otherwise worked.
I tried to use Time Machine to go back to my last Safari app and of course got the message that Safari is necessary system software and could not be replace.
After trying to get through to tech support twice and getting disconnected (???) I got someone who told me it would NOT be possible in any way to downgrade to previous version of Safari.
I was further informed that "we cannot test new versions of browsers to work with all apps and be sure their functionality is not broken." I said "I would think Google, though, might be kind of a priority as one you would test." it's not like it's an OSCURE APP.
I was also told to upgrade to Mavericks so i could just use safari 7.1. I do NOT want to upgrade to Mavericks for very specific reasons (not the least of which, besides this situation which happens all too frequently, is that there are other things that are broken in Mavericks as i can see on my 13" retina Macbook, particularly with Apple Mail, which I find very annoying, and other functionalities and interface things that I find less friendly in Mavericks). I have one Mavericks machine and I want one Mountain Lion machine. Period. This should be OK.
I asked for a supervisor when the guy suggested i simply use a different browser like Firefox or Chrome. Are you KIDDING me? That's your answer?
I use Chrome and Safari each for specific work things and Firefox for all personal. THat is how I organize my stuff. I edit Google docs related to one client's work in Safari. THat is where my permissions are to access those docs.
I said that any released version Safari should work with major, hugely popular business apps and I should not have to SWITCH AWAY FROM SAFARi. If you are suggesting i NOT USE SAFARI, then it shouldn't be released. Period.
The supervisor told me that I could downgrade only by downgrading my whole system. Only way. (I later realized after I hung up--unless you can tell me otherwise--that means restoring my whole hard drive, NOT just my system,? Like FULL Time Machine restore of everything. If I could do JUST he system, I'd do it.)
He also said that it was "possible I could get Safari 6.2 working with Google docs" IF I "played around with settings and preferences in Safari."
Um. I said, prompting him, ahem…since I called in for support, perhaps you could work with me to give me some ideas of what those settings or changes might be, rather than have me "randomly play with" it?
He reluctantly did so, screen sharing with me, had me do all the things I;d already tried (restring Safari, restarting computer, etc), closing and opening those docs. He saw the error message through screen sharing. he could not explain it. We played around with opening the docs from Drive or email instead of from the bookmarked tabs.
Sometime into the call, it stopped doing it. We never knew why. So he thought we'd solved it (even though no explanation for why it had been, never identified a consistent source). He said "well, so Safari 6,2 DOES work." But after we hung up, it started doing it again. Mainly with Google (error message) but also with other sites (beach ball hangs). I will not bother calling back. I guess I either cant use Safari or need to restore my whole system to get old one back (again, I don't want to go to Mavericks on this machine).
Anyone got ideas?
What i find more concerning than the thing not working (which isn't insignificant ) is the lack of care and lack of knowledge that is now consistently apparent when I call for help, compared to how consistently awesome it used to be.
Sad.
I would appreciate any insights anyone has gleaned re this issue. And again I caution against 6.2.   My machine works great otherwise, Safari worked fien before the upgrade, and NO, i DO NOT have any anti-virus software!

Happy to. It's below.
Not everyone hijacked this thread thread btw--Danabeck for example said having EXACT same problem I am. Furthermore, the Sharepoint "fix" that worked, then stopped working is pretty weird.
and whatever is going on, it wasnt in Safari 6.1 with very same system. But sure--if something unneeded is causing problem with 6.2, I'd be delighted to dump it.

Safari and Stickies did not work accurately after upgrade Lion 10.7.3

1. Safari: version 5.1.5 and other before cannot show charts and other buttons in the homepage of www.comdirect.de. (Firefox does it) Asking technical staff of comdirect, they told me: "it is a known problem of safari. Safari does not meet the standards". Up today there is no improvement in the divers updates of Safari.
2. Stickies: Working some weeks with Lion, two icons of the stickie-programm suddenly apeared in the Dock. Version 7.0, 874KB and Version 8.0 5,2 MB. Results:
Moving a stickie, caused its duplication, other were lost.
Putting the Version 7.0 into the trash, it install themselves again but more and more stickies disappeared.
I want my stickies back, at what location are they stored? What can I do to solve the problems 1) und 2)?
Thanks for a praktikable proposal.

So the result form Apple authorized servis was that both motherboard and graphic card need to be replaced (cost aproximatelly 1100$) and in addition they said there will still remain some problem with display which would cost additional 500$ to fix. Taken in account that there would be only 90 days warranty on new parts I decided to give up with the iMac. Very disappointing after only 1,5 year on machine that costed more than 2000$.
Recommendation from me after this experience - buy 3 years warranty if possible. I am personally very much looking forward for Mac Pro refresh. I don't want to be again in situation that if something breaks in my working machine I have no chance to replace it myself and can only expect very high repair costs. Untill new Mac Pros are out I'll suffer working on Mac Book Pro.

Safari, iChat & SoftwareUpdater suddenly not working.

Recently certain applications on my computer haven't been working. Whenever I open any of the following applications (Safari, iChat & Software Updater),I get the rolling little beachball and it freezes up the program. What is causing this and what can I do to fix it? Thanks!

Ok...an update......actually there are many things not working with my computer now it seems....all of my system preferences/control panels, ichat, safari, sherlock, preview, stickies, mail, ical. Whenever I try to open any of these applications I just get the spinning little beachball and it freezes up in that application so I have to do a force quit.
One thing I did try was to boot up from the disk and 'repair permissions'.
But this did not seem to help.
This is quite frustrating to not be able to do anything on my computer.
If anyone has anything to offer I would much appreciate it.
Thanks.

Safari 5.1.2 Not working right after install

Hi, after installing the update for Snow Leopard safari is not working right. Some pages don't load, and other don't load correctly.
I have to keep hitting refresh two or three times. Also thunbnails are not displaying. Even the apple page comes up looking buggy.
Please help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in as yourself. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

Safari 5.1.3 not work

Hi all, after 10.7.3 my Safari app not working and not open any page. Firefox and Chrome work perfectly on my WIFI Extreme + Express system.
My mac is an Air 13", any suggestions, TY

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
As Guest, launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
