Safari not opening window

Hi,
when I open Safari, it seems to open (toolbar along the top opens up) but no window appears. Any ideas, please, about what I do now?
Thanks
Sebastian

Sorry, I'm being thick again. The document says the following:
"Safari may not work after an Archive and Install
If Safari won't work after you do an Archive and Install, follow the instructions below.
When you try to open Safari after an Archive and Install, the Safari icon may bounce in the Dock and display the triangle that indicates activity, though no window appears.
This occurs when performing an Archive and Install of an older version of Mac OS X over a newer version. For example, you might Archive and Install Mac OS X 10.3.5 on a computer that, prior to the install, had Mac OS X 10.3.9. The best solution is to update to the same version of Mac OS X that you had before the Archive and Install, or a later version. "
Nothing here about SW Update (?)

Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail which is already the default mail program which is already set as the default mail program

Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail. Windows Live mail is already set as my default e-mail program.

Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that resolve the issue for you?

I have ipad with IOS 7, Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

Try this and see if it helps.
Settings>Safari>Clear cookies and data.
Now close Safari completely. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then "swipe up" or "drag up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Error # 1 can not open window

when i try to do a pano thru photomerge in pse11 on a mac i get the message error 1 can not open window. this was after i tried to fix error 22. i held down the com,option,shift keys just after a started photoshop aditor. help steve

Quoting from another thread -
Definitely try doing a File > Save For Web using the Photoshop Elements Editor (be sure not to save over your original photos), and then try to do a Photomerge Panorama on the resulting images.
Photomerge apparently has some issues with some kind(s) of EXIF metadata in files, and using Safe For Web strips this information out of the file.
This has worked for most (or perhaps all) of those that mentioned having this issue in this thread.
Please see- http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276267 for more info.

I'm not a "Cloud" member. I just upgraded to Lightroom 6 from Lightroom 5. All was working well yesterday. Today Lightroom will not open (Windows 7). I see the logo photo over my Lightroom platform but nothing loads and I see "Lightroom not responding." I checked the catalogs and see that lrcat-Journal and lrcat-Lock have been created every time I try to open. I have a backup from the first day I upgraded, but Lightroom doesn't want to access it. Should I reinstall?

Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

Safari not opening .asp pages

i am running safari 6.0.5

I can't test because I don't have a login, but you can try the following.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

Ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window says ipod is in recovery mode and needsto be restored

ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window pops up says ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. what do i do now?

You restore the iPod via iTunes. Don't plug the iPod in. Open up iTunes and then plug it in and then try restoring, if it fails to restore a few times, keep trying. I do it on a daily basis, you're using an Apple product, remember...
EDIT: Do it from another computer if all else fails.

Hi Again macyue!

"...there's also a chance that your failed installation of Tiger and return to Panther has resulted in other problems."
I suspect that as well, that is why I asked:
"What procedure did you use to replace the Safari application?
And what procedure did you use to reinstall Panther 10.3.x, after the failed upgrade?"
I also suspect that if, after the failed Tiger 10.4.x upgrade, you performed an Archive & Install of Panther 10.3.x, and chose to "preserve your user and network settings", there could be some corruption of the system.
See this KB Article for info How to reinstall a prior version
Quoted from there:
"Important: You should only perform an Archive and Install installation over the same major version of Mac OS X. For example, if your Mac OS X Install disc has Mac OS X 10.3, then you should only perform an Archive and Install over version 10.3 through 10.3.9. "Downgrading" your operating system version to an earlier major version may lead to issues. For example, downgrading Mac OS X 10.4 or later by performing an Archive and Install installation with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier Install discs could lead to:..."

10.5.4 fix safari not opening?

For those of you, like me, whohave had safari not open after the 10.5.3 update, I was wondering if 10.5.4 fixed this. I have not had a chance to try it yet. When I try to install the latest safari update it tell me I need 10.5.2 or higher and I have 10.5.3. If this new leopard update fixes safari please post or post a fix for it using 10.5.4, because I have given up on 10.5.3

Was the update to 10.5.4 only for Safari or was it a systemwide update that just happened to affect Safari?
It's a system wide update that included some fixes for Safari.
Add-on programs and some plugins are now invalid with this most recent version
Your best bet is to wait for the developers of your extensions to update them. It usually only takes a few days. As many people here have found out, attempting to reinstall Safari can cause many problems.

How to get Safari to open window upon launch?

I have my user login items set to launch Mail and Safari upon boot. All is well with Mail. However, now when I boot and Safari luanches it does not open a new window like it used to do, but simply shows in the Dock as launched. I then have to click on it to open its homepage window. It used to open the homepage window upon boot/launch. How do I get this back? Thanks!

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Restart your Mac.
If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.

Safari not opening certain websites

When I try to open Facebook or Google I get the following error message:
Invalid URL
The requested URL "/", is invalid.
In addition, websites that normally come up pretty quickly seem to be taking an extremely long time to load.
To be sure that this isn't a problem with my internet provider I logged onto my craptastic Windows-based laptop and opened both Facebook and Google on it with Safari and these websites came right up and with no delay.
Anyone know wha the problem is and if there is a solution? And no, I have not yet upgraded to Mountain Lion yet as I am replacing my hard drive this afternoon and will upgrade after that.

If it happens again, try deleting the cache associated with Safari.
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Safari not opening any pages

My MAC Book Air is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and when updated to Safari to 8.0.2, Safari can not open any web pages.
My MAC Book Pro 15 inch works fine.
Does any one have the same problem?

Restart the computer and try again.
As a shortcut, launch the Activity Monitor 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 and start typing the name.
Select All Processes from the View menu, if not already selected.
Enter "discoveryd" in the search box. You should see a process with that name in the list on the right. Select it, then click the stop-sign icon in the top left corner of the window. In the sheet that drops down, click Force Quit. Enter your administrator login password when prompted.
The process should relaunch immediately. Test.

Safari Not Opening External Links

When I click on any external link, eg: from Mail, Dashboard, a link icon on my Desktop, etc, Safari comes to the front, but does not open the link. Also when I try to "Reopen All Windows From Last Session", after reopening it, nothing happens. If I have a window open, I can drag a link off my desktop, drop it on the window, and the link will open.
I have tried resetting the cache per this link:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8777756&#8777756
Also running Macjanitor, and repairing permissions. None of these worked. Any suggestions?

That worked, thank you so much. Although I am a bit embarrassed that I didn't think to do that in the first place.
I also want to explain what caused it, and what happened after I reopened safari. The problem started after I installed Verizon Access to use with Verizon's wireless broadband; it crashed Safari, but at the time I didn't notice any anomalies upon restarting Safari. It took a couple days to realize that Safari wasn't opening any external links.
When I went to the preferences folder to remove the safari preference, there were two: one was "com.apple.Safari.plist" and the other was "com.apple.Safari.plist.saved". I put them both on the Desktop and reopened Safari.
I don't have a Home Page selected, I prefer just a blank window when I open Safari, but it opened a Verizon page instead. So I went to Safari's Preferences and removed it. Restarted the browser, but it was back. It took a couple tries, but now Safari opens with an empty window again, and everything else is back to normal.
What's odd is that the Verizon page didn't show up as the home page until I removed the .plist files from the Library.
