Safari doesn't open my homepage under private browsing

after upgrading to safari 5.1, whenever i close my browser then reopen after a few minutes or when re-starting my mac, my home page opens up to igoogle but not the igoogle i normally use. under preferences my signed in igoogle page is designated as the homepage.  i also notice this on a yahoo forum page i have on my bookmark bar.  i have the "keep me signed on for 2 weeks" box checked but everytime i reopen my browser, i have to sign in again.
this was never an issue before the current upgrade.  any suggestions???
thanks,
letty

  • Safari doesn't open to homepage

    I have set "New windows to open" on my homepage, but when I open a new browsing session, Safari opens to my last visited page and not homepage ...
    Need help.

    When you open a new session, hold the shift key down and launch Safari.
    or
    System Preferences > General
    Checkmark the box beside "Close windows when quitting an application".

  • Safari doesn't open, computer without other web browser

    Safari does not even open, simply quits unexpectedly within a few seconds. I have no other web browsers downloaded.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
    After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    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.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

    3. "Homepage" = <your chosen webpage>

  • Safari doesn't open after i updated it to 1.6.8

    Safari doesn't open after i updated it to 1.6.8

    Reinstall Safari 5.1.2
    Then restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, you may have a third party add on that was compatible with the prior version of Snow Leopard, but not 10.6.8.
    Troubleshooting help here >  Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    And try Safari in another user account. If you can't open Safari there as well, that's an indication the startup disk may need repairing.
    Log back in to your admin account, launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)

  • Safari doesn't open Pop-up & Script Windows?!

    Why Safari doesn't open Pop-up & Script Windows?

    With Safari open, from the Menu Bar click Safari. Where says; Block Pop Up windows, Deselect that.

  • I recently had some repairs done to my ATT U-verse connection, and now my Safari doesn't open in a full screen.  How do I reset that to open in full screen?

    I recently had some repairs done to my ATT U-verse connection, and now my Safari doesn't open in a full screen.  How do I reset that to open in full screen?

    Mountain Lion is set up to close windows when you quit a program instead of saving them. To change this, put Safari in full-screen mode, move the cursor to the top, open Safari menu while holding Option key and close Safari from the menu.
    If you want to do it automatically with all programmes, open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"

  • Safari doesn't open on my Ibook G4

    Hi Chuck,
    As suggested above, what does Grab do when you try to open it?
    If the Grab icon appears in the Dock then it "is" open. Grab is a funny little utility in that there is no "window" that opens when you open Grab. The top menu bar though, will change to the Grab menus. In these menus you can go to the Capture menu for what you are trying to do.
    On the other hand, if you are saying that the application just bounces in the Dock or does nothing or opens to immediately quit, this is another kettle of fish?
    Perhaps if you can post back with what actually happens when you try to open Grab we can try to get to the bottom of it.

  • Safari doesn't open in start page

    Hi everybody,
    since I have installed Mac OS X Lion, Safari doesn't open in start page. It opens always at the last page I was at least. What can I do?

    Try this:
    Open ‘System Preferences’
    Locate and open the ‘General’ menu
    Near the bottom uncheck the box that says “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”

    Hello John...
    You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    FYI... this is a user to user forum. If you can't resolve the issue, information for contacting AppleCare  here.

  • Safari won't open company homepage

    Safari won't open our homepage on iMac 10.6.8.  it will open in other web browsers.
    if you google our company and click on the listing, it does NOT work either.

    Works for me. Please enable guest logins and log in as Guest. Launch Safari and test. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and disable it if you wish.
