Whenever i download something, well anything Safari unexpectedly quits all the time no matter what I'm downloading. I thought Mac's were not supposed to do things like this and its very frustrating! If anybody knows what I'm doing wrong or how to fix this problem please reply immediately!!!!!

Answer 1

open safari then click on safari next to the blue apple. then select reset safari, and also empty the cache. then open a finder window select your user name with the house next to it and go into the library folder, move the caches folder to the trash can and restart the computer (the caches folder is just a temporary folder and it will rebuild). when the computer has finished restarting empty the trash. test safari
if issue is still occurring open a finder window again click on your user name and go into the library again, this time you will locate the preferences folder, in that folder you will see com.apple.safari.plist move that item to your desktop and restart the computer. test safari again, if resolved move com.apple.safari.plist to the trash.
if still not resolved test in a new user account, if issue occurs there you may need to delete and reinstall safari.
I'll subscribe to this post and if you need to delete and reinstall safari i will give you the full instructions, but hopefully those other steps will resolve it
