Safari browser stopped working

Hello.
I hope someone could kindly help me explain whats wrong if my safari suddenly can't open some pages. Yesterday it stopped opening facebook. it did open home page but as i tried to login it would give me some unknown error. today i couldn't also open my gmail.com as well as google. it would give me a message like this.
Safari can't open the page "https://www.google.com/". The error was: "unknown error" (NSURLErrorDomain:-1) Please choose Report
Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
Other sites open without any problem. Also I didn't do anything before it started to happen. didn't download anything. wouldn't go to strange sites. I suspect its a problem with my Safari and i had to do something horrible and go and download firefox. through firefox everything works just fine. but i want to find out what to fix to use my safari browser.
thank you in advance for any advice.
Kristina

Hello kristina:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
In addition to resetting Safari (make sure you look at the list of things that will be reset - for example, you may want to keep your cookies), trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.

Safari browser stopped working - what do I do now?

What do i do when safari browser won't respond?

Won't respond is kind of wide open and covers a lot of possibilities.
Can you send and receive email which would indicate that you do have Internet connectivity? Does Safari not launch at all? Is it crashing?
Without knowing specifics ....
Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or ....Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or clear Safari and restart the iPad. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or power cycle your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

My Safari Has Stopped Working!

My Safari Browser stopped working after a sudden power outage in our area. I have tried re-installing Safari, re-installing my SBC-Yahoo DSL Modem Software, resetting my DSL modem and nothing works. When I launch Safari the only message I see is "Go To This Address" in the address bar and the pinwheel spinning. What can I do to fix this?

Safari 5.1.5 on PC. Windows 7 64 bit. My favorite browser is not working. Please help. I keep getting a window in the middle of a page saying ''Safari has stopped working'''''

Hello.
My favorite browser Safari (5.1.5 ) has stopped working. Yes I know is on a PC. But is been very good to me for a long time, untill about two months ago. I keep getting a pop up message saying "Safari has stopped working" I will close the pop up message and continue working but within a few minute, the message will pop up again. The browser opens up fast as always and runs fine but the message is a pain and annoying. I'm running Firefox now , but I want my Safari back . Please help.

First, open your Action Center and expand "Maintenance". Click "View reliability history":
Once the reliability report has been generated, look for Critical events for Safari generated at the time of the "Safari has stopped working" messages. Doubleclick the name Safari in the critical events. (Don't click View solution.) Here's a screenshot showing what to doubleclick:

I generated the problem report similar to the above screen shot " by way of IE 9 " but will not let me copy and paste the contents as a screen shot in reply to your post here . Copy to clipboard did not work either. I might be doing something wrong. Oh well.
By the way , the only difference is- The Problem Event Name of mine is not BEX. but rather : APPCRASH. Fault Module Name : JavaScriptCore.dll. Fault Module Version: 7534.55.2.1. The rest are very similar to the above screenshot. If you need more information then I guess I have to do it all manually. Please let me know. Thanks again.

Hello
My system version 10.5.8
I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:
"Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".
After deleting all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin", Safari worked again no problem, BUT all sites with flash content (e.g.YouTube) did not work.
I then tried the following experimental steps:
a) Moved all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin" into a temporary folder.
b) Downloaded and istalled Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.181.34
c) Started Safari and it did not work ( same message"TastyAppsAVPlugin")
d) Deleted Adobe Flash Player from the folder "Internet Plugin". Safari worked.
e) Moved back all plugins, except Adobe Flash Player, from the temporary folder to "Internet Plugin" folder. Safari works... But Flash won't work!!! Before update to Safari 5.0.6 , ev erything worked perfectly well.
Guys, please solve the problem

There are many threads on this. I typed "Uninstalling TastyApps" in the Google search, and came up with these:
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Uninstalling+tastyapps&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8
I do not know which of the many TastyApps haxies you have. Perhaps it would be better to contact them directly, once you know which of their products you have.

The pdf engine in Safari has stopped working. I can no longer view pdf files in Safari. I simply get a black window when pdf files are downloaded

Hi..
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the AdobePDF browser plugin to the Trash.
Try Safari.
If you have problems locating the plugin...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:

Windows 7 64-bit: Safari has stopped working

Help needed! I am one of those guys that has to use a Windows machine at Work. So I have a Windows 7 64-bit OS on my work laptop. I use Safari at home on my Macs. Since I have a browser choice, I surely want to use Safari 5 on my Windows 7 machine but so far I am having no luck. Safari runs for X minute (time varies) and then all of sudden crashes with a message "Safari has stopped working." I have uninstalled Safari, manually cleaned up all the Safari folders that go into user account preferences, ran a registry cleaner via WinUtilities so that all traces of Safari are gone. Then did a fresh install with Administrator privileges (I even tried the install with my own login ID) but either way the result is the same -- Safari 5 crashes at random. What can I do to make Safari 5 on Windows 7 stable? Please advice.
Thank you!

Since I have a browser choice, I surely want to use Safari 5 on my Windows 7 machine but so far I am having no luck. Safari runs for X minute (time varies) and then all of sudden crashes with a message "Safari has stopped working."
Fingers crossed, the problem reports for those errors might cast some fresh light on the source of the problem.
Head into your Problem Reports and Solutions control panel (or the Windows 7 equivalent ... the Action Center?) and look for recent Safari problem reports. Open them up and look through. Do they all seem to be saying the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here so we can have a look.

Safari has stopped working (MSVCR80.dll)

I get a Windows 7 error "Safari has stopped working". I've tried a number of things (e.g., uninstalling and installing Safari, re-installing Windows 7, disabling plug-ins, disabling Java, disabling Javascript, uninstalling itunes, ran CCleaner, Malabytes, etc.). I'm practically running barebones in terms of running apps. But, nothing seems to get rid of this error. I would try Restore before I saw the error, but the earlier dates for restoring are missing, so I cannot restore the computer to an earlier date before I noticed the problem.
The browser works fine for about 5 minutes, and then gives the error. What can I do to get rid of this pesky problem? I like Safari and want to continue using it, but I am at wits end...

Any thing else to try before giving up on using this browser??

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
Then close Safari. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Now reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Cover Browser stopped working

After using iTunes almost without a hitch since the iTunes 7 upgrade came out, my cover browser stopped working and other odd behaviors have cropped up.
For instance, when I try to shift from list view to browser view or grouped view, the iTunes window becomes corrupted, almost as if it were trying to display two windows at once, sort of superimposed. And the Cover Browser view doesn't work at all.
If I minimize and then enlarge the window though (the only way to get it to un-freeze), I get a blank white box where the cover browser should be.
I have reinstalled several times, being very careful to remove all reciepts and preferences, and I logged in under a 'test' user and iTunes works fine there, but not under my own (administrator) user. Also, I can't for the life of me think of anything I've done to change my computer to make this happen. Any ideas out there? Thanks, your help will be much appreciated!
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have had the same problem. I get audio, but am unable to play any video within itunes. The video works fine on my ipod nano. Did you ever get this resolved?

Windows 7 - browser stops working still connected

As the title says Windows 7, browser stops working after some time passes.
This effects IE and Chrome. I can still ping www.google.com or it's IP address. (all other computers on the network are fine)
I've used both the wired and wireless connection without the same results.
I reboot and it works, I walk away from the work station and then boom no browsing.
I've turned off the firewall, released and renewed the IP, netsh winsock reset none off this worked.
I've gone into internet options and ensure that no "proxy' boxes are checked.
I've uninstalled the network card drives and restarted the machine.
I've ran Malwarebytes (no infections), ccleaner to check for registry problems. Nothing there.
I've disabled the power saving options and uncheck "let windows turn this device off"
I've also ran Norton and Mcgafee uninstallers just be sure there aren't any residue from those installed.
No bittorrent clients
So I'm online but can't browse on this one computer? what's the deal please Help!

ctrl+alt+del to display the tasksmanager...Processes tab,

Fingers crossed, your Windows 7 will have been recording some information about those.
Go into your Action Center, find your Problem history and look for Safari problem reports that occur at the same time as those error messages. Open the Safari problem reports and have a look through them. Do they all say pretty much the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here so we can have a look.

Firefox (Mozilla) browser stop working. I cannot download new version (Mozilla 16). I run the application. It tellsme the computer needs to shut down, It shuts

My FireFox Browser stop working. I deleted old applications and tried unsuccesfully to open new versin (mozilla 16). I safe the application to desktop, run it, it tellsme the computer will turn off, it does, when the computer goes back on Mozilla is NO longer there. Then the cycle continues everytime I tried to download new application.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization features that may cause problems by protecting files in the Firefox program folder.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 16.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

Every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

I just spoke with Tesco technical support (having been transferred to them by Clubcard support), who told me that the problems people are experiencing when visiting the Tesco site via Safari aren't currently being addressed because "not enough people have called to complain about it".
I asked what percentage of people he thought might make the effort to call instead of just giving up. He replied that he would be one of those who just gave up.
So it would seem that if we would like the problem to be resolved, we each need to take a few moments to CALL TESCO and ensure our complaint is logged by the technical support team.
Every voice helps
