Safari icon changed and cannot launch safari

Try these things first:
1) See if the Safari icon in the Dock is linked to the Safari application. Command-click on it and see if it shows Safari in the Applications folder. If not, the alias on the Dock is corrupted, or it is no longer pointing to where Safari is (hopefully, Safari is still in the Applications folder).If Safari is in the Applications folder, but the Dock icon did not properly find it, remove the old icon from the Dock and drag Safari onto the Dock to establish a fresh icon and link to the Application. If Safari cannot be found, do a Spotlight search for it, or restore it from a Time Machine backup (if you have one). If not, download it and reinstall it.
2) If you can locate Safari from the Dock and it still won't launch, then trash Safari's preference file. From your Finder, Option-click on the Go menu and scroll to select the Library folder. Open the Preferences folder and locate the com.apple.Safari.plist file. Send this to the Trash and try to relaunch Safari.
Hope this helps!

  • I can't launch Safari. When I right click on the icon, the "Application not responding" is grey and no matter what method I use to Force quit, I get no response.

    I can't launch Safari. When I right click on the icon, the "Application not responding" is grey and no matter what method I use to Force quit, I get no response.

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
    If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
    If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

  • Aim using an ipad version 7.0.4 on using yahoo thru safari or yahoo app I cannot attach documents as icon unseen

    Iam using an ipad version 7.0.4 and when using yahoo mail thru safari or yahoo app iam unable to see icon for attachment,,,,it only shows add picture....pls can someone help...I even changed to desktop version but to no avail

    I`m `propping` up this thread to to the top of the forums again as it`s been three months and not a single community member or Apple support personnel have replied, which I find discouraging.
    I`ve tried everything - both the iOS device(s) and Apple TV have been upgraded (albeit reluctantly) to the latest versions, since iOS 7 looks like crap compared to iOS 6. Both use the same WiFi network. Bluetooth is set to `off`, as per the online tutorials on the Apple Support page.
    I also tried shutting all of them down, including the router, waiting 30 seconds and turning the router, then the Apple TV then the iOS device on sequentially with 30 seconds in between each, again as per this discussion forum, and still nothing.
    Why can Apple not make a technology, such as AirPlay, work with greater than 10%?
    Any other ideas?
    Come on, people.
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • The toolbar icon symbols have disappeared from apps such as mail and safari - just grey boxes appearing

    As mentioned in the header to this question, the toolbar icon symbols have disappeared from apps such as mail and safari and from finder windows - just grey boxes appearing without the sumbols that are usually there.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • TS2771 on i pod touch the orientation does not change when I turn it on it's side when using safari etc.  When viewing youtube it only displays widescreen and will not display portrait , anyone any ideas? is this a fault or do all ipod touch do this?

    On i pod touch the orientation does not change when I turn it on it's side when using safari etc.  When viewing youtube it only displays widescreen and will not display portrait , anyone any ideas? is this a fault or do all ipod touch do this?

    The user guide says:
    Movies viewed in Videos and YouTube appear only in landscape orientation. Street views in Maps
    also appear only in landscape orientation.
    Do you have the scree orientation lock turned on? If on there is a circular arrow icon with a padlock inside next to the battery charge icon in the upper right.

  • I have a new MacBook(2012). Being a new Mac user, I do not know what to do when Safari doesn't open at all. The icon just bounces up and down and when the cursor is on the top main menu bar it is the spinning rainbow wheel.  Any ideas for help?

    When I try to open safari the icon stats bouncing and then nothing happens other than the cursor turning to a spinning rainbow wheel when it hoovers on the top main menu bar. I have shut down and restart several times. My safari worked yesterday and then today this, but with. I indication of a problem. I can't even get the browser window to open so that I can clear caches or reset anything. When I opened my computer this time I don't even get a bouncing icon. No recognition of selecting the program at all. If I go to spotlight and try to open safari from here I still get no response. Can you help?

    Hi ...
    If you have moved the Safari application from the Applications folder, move it back.
    As far as the cache goes, there's a work around for that when you can't empty the Safari cache from the menu bar.
    Go to    ~/Library/Caches/com.aple.Safari.Cache.db.  Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Try Safari.
    Mac OS X (10.7.2)   <  from your profile
    If that is corrrect, you need to update your system software. Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software
    Update ...

  • When I click the Safari app to open it, I keep getting this popup and I cannot close it without force quitting. I also cannot use Safari at all because this keeps poping up what do I do?

    I will get this popup and when I try to quit it, it will show another popup called MacKeeper.  I always get this ad however I have never downloaded. I am unable to use Safari because of this issue. I have tried restarting and shutting down my computer, but when I try and reopen Safari, I will get the same message and Mackeeper popup. Please help.    It's like these popup ads have taken over my Safari.  I have run multiple scans on my computer and it says no malware detected and no viruses.                                               

    Launch Safari with the Shift key held down. If that doesn’t work, disconnect your computer from the Internet and try again.
    Those popups are being opened directly from the web and not by any malware installed on the machine.

  • Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

    Hello everyone,
    I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

    My case is different from those listed below.  First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
    My problem is this:
    I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
    pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems.  However, when
    i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's  vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
    appears beneath the video I just watched.  The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
    This occurs for any selection I choose.  My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
    the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R.  This fills in the old video window with the
    video I just chose.  Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha?  Anyway, the present condition *****.
    This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I have reset Safari and have also
    deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
    System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
    If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

    Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column  two drives plus possibly  a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install.   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US  

  • Safari, iChat cannot connect to internet but FF and other programs can

    I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 and the upgrade is mostly very good. SL is nice and snappy, programs launch faster etc however....
    Initially I had the no internet problem which I fixed by trashing the plist files in SystemConfiguration folder and rebooting. So that all worked and I could use the internet however....
    The weirdest thing is that Safari will not connect to the internet, it just loads, then beachballs then I have to force quit it. Software Update does not work - just won't connect to the net and iChat just loads and shows nothing. Preference menu item is greyed out and noen of my accounts are shown there and it can't connect to the net however...
    Very oddly, Firefox, MailPlane, Netnewswire etc all work perfectly and use the internet and all is fine. So there must be something somewhere aside from the plists I have deleted that are not allowing the connection with the Apple apps.
    It's really my first experience ever of having a major issue on a system upgrade. I really don't want to have to do a clean install if I can help it.
    Any help would be great thx.

    When this occurs it's usually because a proxy is set in the Network preference pane when one isn't needed or vice-versa.
    Firefox uses its own proxy settings and as such doesn't rely on the settings in System Preferences.
