Safari 5.1 will not clear cache

I have been at mac since, well forever, my Cube is still running and that was my 3rd mac, so not a total nub.
However, it seems that safari 5.1 is a bit broken. I do web page work, among other things, and I need to clear the Cache regularly. Unfortunately the "Reset Safari" command does absolutely nothing. My big question is within the Home/Library/Caches is the "com.apple.safari folder" inside that is the Cache.db (no application to open this) is this the actual cache? If SO if I remove it will Safari remake it, or will this brake Safari further?
Thanks, All
Long long time since I been here . . .

I delete the cache.db all the time rather than emptying the cache from the menu bar or reset Safari. Web pages load much faster and I've noticed it clears a bug or two that just emptyhing the cache using Safari interface doesn't do.
Sometimes deleting the cache.db has helped with Safari crash reports > https://discussions.apple.com/message/15854954#15854954
is this the actual cache
For Safari. Yes. If you go to ~/Library/Caches. The next folder has the cache.db for all the associated apps.

Firefox will not clear cache

I tried the beta version of FF 4, and deleted it, then when the full version came out I got it. Every since I had the beta version my FF will not clear the cache, I have tried a dozen ways to get my cache cleared and nothing is working.

Do you still see that the cache is used if you open the <b>about:plugins</b> page via the location bar?

HT6195 Safari cache will not clear......cannot get to current version of website.

I design our company website. It was recently moved from Hostgator to Flywheel and I am unable to open a current version of the site or make changes via the admin page on Word Press and have it go live. I have tried to clear the cache, but it will not clear. Also, this is happening on my iPad 2 and my husbands MacBook Pro. I cannot un-install safari because Maverick's won't let me. I AM able to make changes and see the current live version on the Dell PC laptop I have. Any ideas???

If it only happened in one location, that would work.....it occurs when mobile, at work, at home, everywhere. Thanks for the thought though.

Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air after Migration Assistant

I did the Migration Assistant via wireless (from Macbook Pro TO Macbook Air) last night and it did work. However, my Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air now. The error messages are as follows:
Safari: "Safari quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
- I tried reopening the app, restarting, and shutting down the computer. Nothing has worked.
iTunes: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
- I clicked "Download iTunes" but then another message comes up that all my software is up to date.
Any help is very appreciated.

Try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.

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?

For some inexplicable reason, Safari 5.1 will not open in Windows 7. It appears in task manager briefly and then disappears. No windows open; I have tried everything. Any ideas??

I fixed the issue. It was related to the DEP settings on my windows machine.

Badge on phone icon will not clear

Since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 the badge on my Phone Icon will not clear, it shows up with no number in it and shows on the home screen icon as well as on the voicemail tab inside the phone app. I have tried a reset, turning the badge settings on and off again, quitting the phone app and NOTHING works.

Hi there Sean.
Yes this is a problem with the Sim.
I've only ever seen this from orange with regards to this particular model of handset.
If you take your phone to you rnearest orange shop and ask them to supply you with a new sim card then im pretty sure that will solve your problem.
The staff will probably tell you otherwise and ask you to take it to a CNSP but be firm.

Safari 6.1 will not launch some pages

Safari 6.1 will not launch some pages. Stops searching as though it has loaded page, but screen is white. I have not downloaded any software recently, only s/w updates from Apple.

My Lion installation of Safari 6.1 just beachballs. Restarted, repaired permissions, logged in as admin user, same result.
I would avoid this update for now.

Why Safari 6.0 will not auto complete the password ?

Why Safari 6.0 will not auto complete the password ? even when the option is selected in autofill tab, and the user-password are listed in the password tab ?
It used to work fine before I upgraded to mountain lion.
Tks

Same problem for me since upgrading to ML. Safari remembers autofills for some passwords but not others. For example my web mail password was no longer auto filled. Checked in the keychain list and all the info was there. Therefore I deleted this and tried again - but Safari did not offer to remember the password. Than ran an old script I had that is designed to "Removed autocomplete=off from 0 forms and from 2 form elements, and removed onsubmit from 0 forms. After you type your password and submit the form, the browser will offer to remember your password." Safari then offered to remember the password. I accepted this and checked that the password was then saved in keychain - it was. However, next time I tried to access the email Safari once more did not auto complete. Very frustrating, especially as some auto completes do work. I hope apple sort this out soon.

Safari 7.0 will not save PDF

My Safari 7.0 will not save PDF files that can be opened, what do I need to do to get this function working again?

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

History in my search bar will not clear even though I have selected all the appropriate settings under tools/privacy etc. Is this a Firefox bug or am I doing something wrong?

No additional details - just can't figure out why the search history will not clear.

when i go to Music > Artist > All, as you suggested, i see all the albums i have listed. doesn't really relate to my problem with artists with songs in one album, as well as song w/o album set, and the latter not showing up.
but that reminds me, why is it when i go to the All section from a particular artist and they do have more than one album (or even no albums), the order of the songs is in the order they are in the albums.. if i wanted the order it is on albums, i would have selected that album for example.. it would be nice if the songs were in alphabetical order when you're NOT browsing by album, making a particular song easier to find (what if you have thirteen albums for example and u aren't sure which album a song is on, now you have to scroll through a seemingly random ordered list to find one song, alphabetical would be SOOOO helpful!)

Websites will not clear, even when I try to clear history, and restart.. They ALL come back dozens of them. This is making Firefoc useless. Why?

Why has it suddenly happened that whenever I go on Firefox the screen is clogged up with websites I have been onto in the last hours, and they will not clear and will not allow me to get back to my bbc home website without difficulty

In '''Options window''' at '''General panel''' scroll and put '''SHOW MY HOME PAGE'''(probably you have ''Show my windows and tabs from last time'' here), if you have set home page to BBC then every time you open firefox you must see your BBC home page.

Safari 5.0 will not prompt to remember username and passwords

Safari 5.0 will not prompt to remember username and passwords for new sites I joined. It will remember the old ones but not the new. Under Safari< preferences> the autofill in all 3 places is checked. A box used to drop down when joining the site for the first time and say... Save Never Not Now.
Now nothing happens. Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.keychainaccess.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the *Safari Forms Autofill* keychain.
Relaunch Safari.
