Why does my Safari open with American version, and home page with Apple iPhone 5 advert even though I have changed them in preferences, it happens every time no matter how many times I change them, when I open Safari its back to the USA and Apple home page.
Try this.
Hold the shift key down and launch Safari.

My browsers (safari and Chrome) continue to open an old version of a website - even though I've cleared my browser history and cache. It's essential I see the newly launched site - rather than the old ones. It's strange it's happening in both browsers.
Please help!You, or someone using your computer, hacked the system to redirect certain URL's. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
open -a TextEdit /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the 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.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the document. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Quit Terminal.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts". -
I'm running OS 10.6.8 and wondering if I should upgrade. I'm also using safari 5, which is about 3 versions old. Experience says if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but am I missing out?
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

Safari tells me I have flash version 0, and it's just not true
I have a website (that someone else created for me. I know nothing of web design)It was created in flash v5. Until very recently I have had no problem viewing it on this computer using Safari, or any other browser for that matter.
Now, when I try to open the site, I get a prompt that states:
'You are using flash version 0
This website is optimized to run on Flash version 5 or above
Click here to download flash v 6'
I show that I have flash v9 installed. And, I am able to view my web site on other computers.
Any ideas as to what the problem may be?
Thanks,
PeterHi,
I get the same error message using Firefox on Linux. As Klaus says below, the website needs to correct their site to work across different platforms. -
I have a Mac. OS 10.5.8 (64-bit), Safari 5.0.6, Flash Player version 10.3.183.90
Hello, I have a Mac. OS 10.5.8 (64-bit), Safari 5.0.6, Flash Player version 10.3.183.90. I keep getting error messages saying that I need update my Flash Player, But I can't. What can I do???
Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (Mac only) is the latest Flash Player that will work with OS 10.5.8. The reason is that Leopard (10.5) was the LAST "Universal Binary" OS build Apple released (it runs on PPC and Intel Macs). Because of that, the Flash Player plugin is also a "Universal Binary" but since even Apple doesn't support U/B software as of September 2009, Adobe stopped development of the U/B Flash Player in November of 2010.
That's the bad news.
The good news (if your Mac is Intel and NOT PPC) is that you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (OS 10.6) through Apple for $19.99
That will allow you to install and upgrade a LOT of software that won't run on PPC Macs, including Flash Player 11.8 -

Latest version of Safari won't install on latest version of Tiger
What's the problem here??? When I download Safari 2.0.1 -- which it says is the latest version, it won't install on my Powerbook, which is running 10.9.4-- says the latest it will run on is 10.4.2. Why hasn't Apple updated Safari to run on the newest versions??
Hi David,
What's the problem here??? When I download Safari 2.0.1 -- which it says is the latest version, it won't install on my Powerbook, which is running 10.9.4-- says the latest it will run on is 10.4.2. Why hasn't Apple updated Safari to run on the newest versions??
The latest version of Safari for os 10.4.9 is 2.0.4

to light by yeas, Andyball_uk, thanks Andy most helpful!! )
You can use Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4if you have your Tiger disks.
Scroll down to see the Optional Installs icon.
You need to then run the combo OSX update afterwards to bring Safari up to date.
Alternately, andyball-uk has generously uploaded a Safari app you can download from here,
Click the "free" option to download it. Unzip the file, place the safari app in your applications folder, then run disk permissions repair, using Disk Utility.
Hope this helps.

How do I update Safari? I'm currently running version 5.0.6
How do I update Safari? I'm currently running version 5.0.6
You need to upgrade the OS. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

I'm using my new imac and now my safari is redirecting me to a russian search engine which is "yandex.ru" !! I can only enter a few websites without being redirected... !!! is that a virus and if yes how can I delete it and get! Do I have to have Anti virus !

Deesafari is redirecting me
Dee....
It's not a virus.
Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.

E72 (north american version), to use in Europe/UK
I'm currently in the US and looking to buy a (less expensive) unlocked e72 (North American version - NAM) - and bring it to the UK to pop in a SIM when I arrive. I've gotten different answers from the Nokia USA people, and I'd like to know if this will work completely there - calls, SMS/MMS, 3G, HSDPA. The sole difference looks like:
E72-1 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 900/2100 HSDPA (Euro)
E72-3 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/2100 HSDPA (NAM)
Thoughts, experiences? Any info is much appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.You left out the E72-2 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/1900 HSDPA. This device will not give access to 3G networks in Europe and Asia. The E72-3 might give access to some 3G networks that use the 2100 MHz band.

I have a US Mac living in the UK. I tried to download both the British and American version. Both state "You cannot use the application Firefox with this version of MAC OSX". Any suggestions how to proceed?
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 which works on OS X 10.4 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

When I used Safari to go to the American Express web site a request came up asking me to register my Amex card. I thought this was strange so I called Amex and they saw it when they went online and they said it was my iPad that had been hacked. Is there an app to protect my iPad when I am online with sensitive information?
I located some suggestions for flushing the cache.
There are really three ways you can flush the DNS cache on your iPad.
1) Simply turn the iPad off and on again using the power button. A simple reboot will go a long way.
2) Turning on Airplane mode and then turning it off again will also clear the DNS cache and should be enough to fix the problem. Tap on your Settings icon, then swipe Airplane mode to On and then back off. Since Airplane mode disables the wireless features of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to comply with airline regulations, this will generally do the trick.
The third method would reset all your network settings and I'm pretty sure you don't want to do that right now. -
How to stop safari from redirecting you to an app?
When I'm in safari and I want to click on a link for a website like Amazon or Google Maps, safari automatically redirects me the app without asking if I want to be redirected. Other than just deleting the app entirely from my phone, how do I stop this from happening?
Specifically, which page is it?
If the page uses rotating advertising, it could be that the entire page reloads every set interval and not the ad itself (which would be the smart thing to do) and thus forces the browser to be pushed back to the top of the page.
If the page doesn't use advertising and just refreshes itself for new content every set interval, it could set Safari to the top of the page, too. In short, it seems like the problem is not on your end but rather the website.
