Safari quits all the time and will not relaunch! Any suggestions?

I can't Launch safari on my imac!  Every time i try I keep getting this error message....
Can anyone help?

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.

  • My phone thinks it is connected to a dock all the time and will not play any sound or ring what do i need to do?

    my phone thinks that it is connected to a dock all the time and wont play ringtones or any other sound. I know that the speakers work because it will randomly play sound but for a very short amount of time and just recently stopped making sounds all together. the phone is almost brand new and has no damage I just bought it a few months ago. What can I do to fix the problem?

    Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If not, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. See if better. If not, try Restore. If still a problem, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • Safari quits all the time, can't find server, garbled texts

    Safari can't find server, will not browse, quits all the time, garbled texts, don't know if I am using  safari and snow leopard or safari with ox lion which i have upgraded recently.

    SOMETHING ABOUT THE HARD DRIVE  SYMBOL START UP?
    I don't understand this.
    I also disabled third party addons, is that wrong?
    If you mean Safari extensions, that's OK. Extensions are not necessary in order to use Safari.

  • Safari crashes all the time and flash cannot be updated. virus or what?

    hi guys! my safari keeps closing suddenly all the time. it's not "quit unexpectedly" with report kind of crash. it prompts no report whatsoever. when I relaunch it, it always opens in the same condition it left, with all the same tabs. and also it says flashplayer was not updated. but when I try to update from the adobe website it just wont work, wont start download whatsoever. I have tried uninstalling the older flashplayer but still it wont start download from the adobe website. now "missing plug-ins" is all over, on so many websites. I cant even open videos in youtube.
    could this be a virus or what? does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks in advance guys, I appreciate it!

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  • I have a 5 month old Magic Mouse and I want to replace the batteries for the first time but the battery door will not release any suggestions?

    The battery compartment door on my Magic Mouse appears to be jammed shut and will not open, the device is only 5 months old and this is the first time I have needed to open it to change the batteries. Are there any suggestions?

    It could be you are approaching it incorrectly.   It can be a tricky little gadget that actually works with minimal pressure.
    Try turning over the mouse so the compartment panel faces you, optical sensor topmost.  Then holding the mouse at each side but not on the panel itself, flick the small, black rectangular panel downwards.   The top of the panel should spring out, though it may require you to manipulate it fully away from the mouse.
    Once you have replaced the batteries, starting at the bottom reverse the procedure then clip into place.   Remember to move the small switch next to the optical sensor upwards which should turn on the green light.   Then click twice to connect.

  • HT200154 my apple tv 3rd gen is blinking a white light all the time and won't show any video on my tv what do I do

    I recently updated my apple tv software anvd now it just constantly blinks a white light in the front and will show no video to my tv what do I do

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)

  • I downloaded Maverick and now safari quits all the time

    I have checked and all updates have been done.  Safari as well does not work properly, it goes back to system preferences, like home page goes back to apples page  even though I have changed it to Google.ca. I am not able to use my favorites bar, I have to type in the site manually, when I can get it to stay open Grrr. 
    Any ideas out there???

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Mail in 10.6.4 not usable: it consumes all CPU time and will not quit

    Mail application does not work properly.
    It eats up most of the available CPU time (till >300% on my machine), becomes unresponsive and will only quit when killed by a force quit in the Activity Monitor.
    I have only two accounts set up. One Gmail account and a google apps one.
    I used to synch with a Blackberry but now I synch directly through google apps.
    The problem was sporadic at best at first but has become the usual behaviour now. Major change has been installing 10.6.4
    I have switched to Thunderbird since Mail is not usable.
    Tx for any hint on how to solve this issue

    It seems to be a recurring issue with 10.6.4...there's probably not much mere mortals like us can do. I haven't found a solution. Try re-installing 10.6.4.

  • Safari Quitting all the time

    My safari has been crashing non stop for the past couple of days. When I click on the safari icon it goes to my homepage like normal but after about 10 seconds it quits and a box comes up telling me the safari quit unexpectedly. At first it said that the problem may have been caused by the .SecurityAdministratorv.tmp plug-in. But now it went back to saying that it just quit unexpectedly. HELP!!!

    You’ve been infected with the “Flashback” malware. See this Apple support document:
    Flashback Removal Security Update
    Back up all data, if you haven't already done so.
    Select  ▹ Software Update to install the Flashback malware removal tool, as well as any other available updates. Installing that item should clear the infection in most cases. You must update to OS X 10.5.8 before you can install the removal tool.
    The removal tool runs automatically in the background and is then deleted. Don’t look for something to click. If the malware is removed, you’ll be notified.
    After you’ve secured your system — not before — change every Internet password you have, starting with banking passwords, and check all financial accounts for unauthorized transactions.
    The update will disable Java (not JavaScript) in all your web browsers. Leave it disabled as long as you're running 10.5. Your version of Java has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet, and those bugs will probably never be fixed.
    If the update fails to remove the malware, you may be able to clear it by running the removal tool developed by a third party:
    Flashback Removal Tool - F-Secure

  • Help! My iTunes is getting stuck on the backup and will not go any further

    I have just bought a new iPhone 4S and would like it to have everything that my iPhone 4 had on it but it is proving very difficult.  I have tried multiple times to back up my old phone without success - I did think that with the cloud and all the new **** that I wouldn't need to plug my iPhones in ever again but this does not seem to be the case at all.  I have managed to back up my old phone on my laptop and have since put my apps, contacts, calendars, messages etc onto my new phone but now I would like my music which is on my PC. This is where the problem is - iTunes on my PC will not back up my old phone and it will now not sync with my new phone either...  Is there a way around this or will I have to suffer with having no music on my new phone??  It seems that everytime I upgrade my phone I always have some sort of issue with iTunes - I just thought this time would be different with the new software etc...?
    If anyone has any advice on the subject it would be very very greatly appreciated.

    Go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices and delete your latest backup. iTunes has to be able to read your backup in order to replace it, if it can't be read, iTunes will stop at step one, which is backing up the device.
    You can copy your purchased items to your computer without syncing. Right click on your phone in the device list and choose

  • HT201412 I dropped my phone and the camera shutter will not open- any suggestions? Thank you!!

    I dropped my iPhone and the camera app no longer works.  The shutter will not open, however I am able to take front facing punctures when using the Camera360 app.
    Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

    Well if the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, then you've broken your phone.  Bring your phone and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement.

  • Safari beach all the time and just acting WEIRD

    Hi all, and happy holidays.
    Okay so whenever I use Safari, it always freezes and crashes. If its not beachballing, the tabs are really strange. I can't select a tab until I click somewhere else on the current webpage. Then I can click the tab. Usually clicking on the tab sends it into a freeze. Anyone with the same problem or a fix for it???

    Hi,
    Nice to hear from you that it worked ... BUT the Cookies.plist that you dragged to the desktop contains ALL log-in passwords. So, when you trash it than you will loose these passwords for good.
    When you write down ALL this information than you can trash the Cookies.plist on the desktop when NOT than you have a problem.
    What you could do is to open the Cookies.plist in Text Editor and search for the Cookies you don't know. Select them and delete them in the Cookies file. When you are finish SAVE the Cookies file and swap it with the Cookies.plist that is NOW in the Cookies Folder.
    Good luck ...
