Safari always opens up after boot on Mavericks

Hi, I'm having a problem with Safari opening all the time on Mavericks. tried all the basic ways of preventing this already. <making sure its turned off on the dock etc>. This all started up after Ghosting my old 250 gig HD on to a 1TB Drive. The page it always opens up on is rather random as I have never seen it before (luckily nothing dodgy looking) But its very annoying! The Software I used to copy my HD was S u p e r D u p e r - 100% sure its to blame!
Any help would be most appreciated !
Thanks

If you are sure this software is to blame try removing it using App Cleaner, you find on the App Store, try this method instead of simply dragging the icon to the trash since this new method will delete other system files this application has created.
Go to Users and Groups, Select your user and in the Login Items make sure nothing is there (perhaps the itunes helper only). Uisng the minus sin located on the bottom delete any program on that list.

  • Safari always opens on a tab

    I didn't use my computer for a few days. Now that I started using it again, I noticed that Safari always opens on a tab. I have Safari set up to open to a blank page and when I open Safari the blank page opens on a tab. I like tab browsing when opening links or browsing multiple pages, but if I'm only looking a one site, I don't want it to open on tab. I have looked in Safari's preferences and there is no way of removing this. Like I said, I don't want to disable tab browsing because it is useful when browsing multiple pages, but I don't want Safari to open on blank screen on a tab. Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    P.S. I'm using Safari 3.1.2

    So when you start Safari, you get the Tab bar automatically, right? If so, then you invoked that by accident. To get rid of it, press Command-Shift-T.

  • Safari always opens at the last web page viewed. How can I make google the default opening page?

    On my iphone 4, safari always opens at the last page viewed. Does anyone know how I can set it to always open at google?

    You can't but you can navigate to Google and add that to your homescreen as a shortcut.  Press the arrow on the bottom.

  • Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it.

    Safari always opens a linked file rather than download it. Can't always Right Click for menu option as the web page is not setup that way.
    Have tried trashing the Downloads.plist from the user library. Still no joy.
    Thanks anyone

    Hi guys
    Thanks for suggestions. Carolyn, I did as you suggested but didn't solve problem. KeeChan, as explained in original post, that is my usual fallback but not all web sites work like that. Try downloading Safari - right click (Ctrl Click) on download button and all you get is the "Download.png" image.
    I finally found the answer. A long time ago I had downloaded and used "SpeedDownload" and had deleted it. Somehow, some trace of the app was left behind and the mime association with dmg files was messed up.
    You can not get rid of Speed Download by throwing its files away or by using an app cleaner product. You MUST run the Speed Download installer program and select the "uninstall" option to remove it.
    My browsers now download dmg files correctly.

  • Safari always quit unexpectendly in os X Mavericks. Is it conflict?

    Safari (version 7.0.1) always quit unexpectendly in OS X Mavericks (version 10.9.1). Is it conflict?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Safari Always Opens the Same Two Pages.

    First off, I'm running Lion on my computer. So every time I open Safari in the last month or so, it always opens up to the same two pages: Macrumors, and some Netflix movie page I looked at once. No matter how many times I close these two pages, navigate away from them, close them and start with a completely new window, when I quit Safari, it's always them that open up. It completely disregards what I had open before (its supposed to open up to the pages I was last on when I quit). I know its not because they are set to my homepage. I have facebook set as that, and I just checked, so it's not like these two somehow got in there. I don't know what the deal is here, but it's starting to bother me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.

  • Since upgrading to Lion, Safari always opens to the last web page opened regardless of the preference settings.

    Since the upgrade I cannot get Safari to open to the page selected in preferences.  I also find that all previously opened windows reopen when Safari is reopened.  How do I fix this?

    Open General preferences and uncheck the option to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps."
    Applications will resume after restarts. If you wish you can change that behavior:
    It's the Resume feature of Lion:
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.

  • Safari always opens last site visited on previous session

    Something changed that keeps Safari from opening, on startup, anything other than the last page I visited on the last browsing session. Neither loging out, nor rebooting, chanes this situation. I have looked through all available threads and have not found a similar occurance. If I had three windows open during the last session, all three widows pop up when I restart Safari. I have reset Safari, and have set the home plage to blank; nothing appears to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, peter

    My version of Safari (2.0.4) does not appear to have that command option. It sounds like it would be exactly what I need to de-select, but I do not see it on the history drop down, or within preferences. strange.

  • Safari always open minimized/freezes

    I was wondering if anyone could help me figure how to change this. Whenever you open Safari, it opens at the top of the screen totally minimized to a small slit. When you click the green button it then opens but all all my bookmarks are missing. If I click and drag the tab sometimes that will fix it but other times it won't. It often freezes and I have to force close. Doses anyone have any insight? Thanks!

    Hi,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that OFF. Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
    If it's not extensions, follow the instructions here for third party Safari plugins that may be causing this.
    Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    If third party plugins aren't the issue, login to another user account on your Mac. Launch Safari. See if you see the same problems, log back into your admin account. Launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab. Click: Verify Disk. If Disk Utility reports problems, follow the instructions here for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.

  • RMBP13 (2013) 16GB: Always 12GB only after booting..

    I got a MacBook Pro 13' with Retina display (2013) and 16gb of memory RAM.
    However, after booting/reboot/restart the memory nevers has 16gb. It runs with 12gb only (displayed by "clean memory" app).
    Why is that? What is the 4gb gone for? How can I find out? How to fix it?
    Thanks for quick response.

    1) The clean memory app is useless and interferes with OSX's memory management.
    2) Download this program, run it, and post the output in your reply:

  • Windows 8.1 desktop hangs after opening folder after boot

    Having read all the articles on fixing context menus I cannot find a solution for the exact issue I am seeing.
    &nbsp;
    When I boot my PC I can right click and select 'open' on my PC. I can then quite happily bring up the context menu on any folder on my drive.
    &nbsp;
    However for a period of around 10-15 seconds I an unable to select anything displayed on my desktop. After which period everything works fine until the next reboot.
    &nbsp;
    My PC is a Lenovo T440s that was shipped with windows 8 and has been upgraded to windows 8.1.
    &nbsp;
    I have tried disabling all non-Microsoft extensions using shexview and has tried safe mode but the problem still ex

    Also check 'Windows Event Viewer'.
    To do this, right-click the start orb and select 'Windows Event Viewer'. Check the 'Application' and 'System' logs for anything out of the ordinary around the time you right-clicked your desktop.
    Have you installed the Windows 8.1 drivers for your T440s after the upgrade was done?
    Did it work correctly in Windows 8? Perhaps you might want to rollback or reset to factory and perform the update again. And then install your favorite software afterwards when the upgrade has successfully completed.
    Some third-party software may stop working correctly when upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, and may be causing this issue.

  • Safari always opens with "Welcome to Safari" screen. Home page not saved.

    After a clean reinstall of Yosemite on our mid-2010 iMac and an upgrade to Safari 8.0.2, my partner is greeted with the "Welcome To Safari" screen each time he launches Safari.
    In addition, his home page is not saved and the Favorites bar, which is set to be displayed by default, does not show.
    My own Safari experience is unaffected.
    Has anybody else experienced this and any suggestions on how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can't open Terminal after update to Mavericks

    The activity monitor says the application is not responding. I reinstalled Mavericks a second time. I updated my ram to 4GB. The terminal window still will not open.
    I installed iterm2 which seems to work fine.
    Where can I find an error message for Terminal.
    Can I download Terminal from apple by itself, to reinstall Terminal only.

  • Illustartor CS5 cant open svg after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi,
    I upgraded to OSX-10.9 Mavericks. Now, I cant open svg files in illustrator CS5. I could do it before upgrading to Mavericks. Whats the problem?
    Thanks,
    Ron.

    If you do not have a backup then you will lose your photos ad all of yoru files sooner or later - hard drives, computers, software and humans fail and with no backup yu are 100% guarenteed to lose your phoots and files sooner or later - yhou need to purchase an external drive 2 1/2 times the size of your  main drive and start using Time Machine all the time ASAP
    For this a simple copy will works - but you must always have a backup if you care about anything on your oputer
