Safari does not open anymore.
Error message: Safari was closed while using Plugins ZZafari. No such plugin in the respective folder. Can't reach the Safari settings as browser closes daown immediately.
What can I do?
Remove zzafari.bundle from your library folder... I forget exactly where it was, but I went into the library folder and then searched for zzafari and found it. Remove it and all will be well.
I have NO idea what zzafari.bundle is though.

Just began to notice that Safari does not open PDF files anymore. PDF's do not automatically download either. One solution I checked was to removed anything with PDF from internet plugins in LIBRARY, but I have none. I was directed to install Adobe Reader. I already have Acrobat Pro installed. Shouldn't preview be what is needed to view PDF? Sugestions?
What I ended up doing was to to follow these dirs:

Hi,
I also installed Adobe Reader because an ebook I downloaded wouldn't open without it.
I then chose Adobe Reader as my default. When I later uninstalled it using the Trash Me app-which usually clears everything out-I couldn't get Preview back as the default.
I went to the "Library/Internet plug-ins" path and trashed the two Adobe Reader plug ins that were there. I used Secure Empty Trash, and then shut down completely and did not check the box to reopen any windows. Then I restarted the Mac.
I not only shut down Safari, I closed all applications and shut down the Mac completely being sure to uncheck the "relaunch with windows open" button. When I turned the Mac back on, I opened Safari and went to an online PDF that I had been trying to open previously to test the app. It opened this PDF using Preview and showed it in Safari.
I then tested using a PDF from my files and it opened in Preview.
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy / paste: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go then move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.
This worked for me and Safari now reads PDFs as is always did. -
Safari does not open in home page.
Safari does not open with the "home page" set in preferences. Always opens with the last page viewed prior to quitting.
I have the same problem (10.7.2., Safari 5.1.2 on an iMac). In System>Preferences>General >Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. (Uncheck). The box is unchecked. In Safari>Preferences>General I have the following settings:
New windows open with: Same page
New tabs open with: Same page
Homepage: http://www.nytimes.com/
Whenever I open Safari I get a blank page (and I have to click on the Home Page icon). This has never happened in my Power PC with Lion (now sadly in computer heaven) nor my MacBook with Snow Leopard. Closing windows individually or closing Safari itself doesn't matter. Re-opening Safari gets me a blank page. Any advice? -
After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up.
I am using MacBook Air with Yosemite OS. After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up. Could you please give me suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thank you
That's a bit vague, but you may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -

HELP - iMovie11 project does not open anymore
I worked for hours saved it on internal and external drive and all but now it does not open anymore (neither internal nor external) . iMovie freezes right at the beginning of opening the project - progress bar at about 10% nothing moves. I just worked on that project several days and cut the video from 3 hours to 50 mins. any ideas?? PLEASE Dont say I need to start all over.
other projects open all right.
Message was edited by: framelCan you start iMovie from another user account on your Mac? If so, something is corrupted in your User folder, most likely the Plist.
Try going to <User>/Library/Preferences/ folder.
Drag com.apple.iMovieApp.plist to your desktop.
Then restart iMovie.
If that does not help, the corruption may be in your Project file. In this case, if you are running Time Machine, go back in time to a working version. -
I have been working on a VI for a few Months not and it does not open anymore. The last change I did was on a Mixed signal graph
and now when I try to open the VI LabVIEW freezes at the welcome screen. Any ideas on how to recover this VI will save tons of work.
Solved!

The vi may be in run-on-open mode. You might try creating a new blank vi and adding the vi to the block diagram and try opening it up from there.
Good Luck.
Why would that freeze LabVIEW when being opened? -
Pages does not open anymore after the latest update
I did all suggested problem solving steps, but after the last update Pages does not open anymore.
It opens a window and immediately crashes again.
I paid for it, and I used it for my business - and I'm so angry, that there is no support for apps in fact...Welcome to the Apple Community.
Turn off iCloud for Pages on your mobile device at Settings > Pages > Use iCloud > Off.
Open Pages on your computer and move any documents in iCloud to your desktop for safe keeping.
Navigate to system preferences > iCloud > Manage and check that Pages documents are not taking any space in the cloud, delete them if they are.
Enable iCloud syncing for Pages on your mobile device and launch the App.
If Pages now opens properly, start to add back documents from your desktop one at a time (or in small groups if you have many). -
Captivate does not open anymore
Hi everybody,
Since yesterday morning my Cap7 does not open anymore.
- I have tried to open the program without opening any projects: failed...
- I have to tried to open specific project directly: failes...
When opening projects/the program I can see the loading bar and the the task manager shows me some CPU and working memory usage. The Cap icon also appears in the lower menu bar. But obviously, as soon as the project is fully loaded (so it seems to me), the program is closed and no more processes are visible.
Background information:
- Win 7
- Cap 7
- in a company environment (last week everything worked without any problems)
- cannot open Cap in administrator mode
I could imagine that there have been any updates or whatsoever from out IT department over the weekend. But if this could be the problem, it would be great to have any idea what COULD be the problem.
Really hoping that you can help as I have to launch course translations in the next days...
Kind regards!Is your company network using virtual My Documents folders or roaming user profiles? If so, that might be the cause of the issue if there has been a change to the location of your My Documents folder. Have you recently moved location in the company?
Since you are unable to open Captivate there's no way to find out where your current Default Locations are. These are shown on the Preferences > General section.
Perhaps one of the Adobe reps on this forum can tell you how to find the Captivate log file that will hopefully show where the launch has failed. In the meantime, contact your IT department, have them remote into your PC and try to launch Captivate using Administrator privileges under their IT admin profile. If the issue is related to privileges, then they should be able to open it. If they can, then try and see what the Default Locations are (as mentioned above). If the default locations are NOT on your hard drive, then change them immediately while the Admin is logged in. -

make sure you're opening Safari from the main Applications folder & use Software Update to make sure everything's up to date.

Ever since updating to OS 10.10.3, my iTunes does not open anymore!
Ever since I updated to 10.10.3, my iTunes does not open anymore.
I have restarted my computer, and tried to open it again but it did nothing. I installed iTunes again and also did not help. Opening iTunes from the application folder in Finder did nothing, as well as opening it from the launchpad did not help.
The app does not even bounce up and down in the dock, it just does nothing.
I think I have tried almost all basic methods. Is there anything else I can do?!
Please help!

2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Ibooks does not open anymore in Safari?
Hi anyone is experiencing it?
I cannot open an iBook file anymore in Safari, the "open in iBooks" button does not appear anymore.Hi ..
With Safari open look at the menu bar at the top of your screen.
if you see: Develop in between Bookmarks and Window, click Develop.
From the drop down menu you should see Disable Images.
If there's a ✔️ next to Disable Images, click there one time to remove the check mark.
Safari should load images for you on Facebook now.
In case you are not aware, Snow Leopard will not update beyond v10.6.8 which means you can't update Safari as well and you may encounter issues with images and other content not loading on Safari in the future.
You can upgrade to v10.9 Mavericks if your Mac meets the requirements > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
You can upgrade to v10.9 Mavericks at the App Store. Mavericks is free.
Read prior to upgrading > Upgrading to 10.7 and above, don't forget Rosetta! -
AIR app does not open anymore after minimizing on windows
Hi guys,
I need some help in figuring out a strange issue I am facing.
I have an AIR app whih is minimizable. When I run it on windows XP and minimize it, it gets minimized. But
clicking on the task bar does not open the app anymore. The task manager shows that the CPU usage for the app has gone upto 50%
and it consistently stays over there with out recovering from it.
Right clicking on it and then trying it to close shows me the windows dialog: "the program is not responding".
MInimizing and re-opening works fine on MAC.
Anyone has ideas on what might be happening? Suggestions or pointers on how to debug this?
thanks,
SunilIt turns out that in one of my UI components, the top level item was a VBox which was using a list of HBox components and the height of each HBox component was set to VBox height /5.
I modified the height to be set to "100%" for each HBox.
and everything worked fine.
I really do not know how it can cause the application to hang earlier.
thanks,
Sunil
