Safari registry issues

I've looked everywhere for some way to fix this but now I've come here. I'm running XP pro sp2, and I've been using Safari since it's been available but today I tried to uninstall safari 3.0.4 so I could install 3.1 but I keep getting the error "Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\SafariHTML\shell\open\command. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.".
I get that whether I'm trying to install it or uninstall it. I'm on the administrator account, I've tried editing the registry key (although I'm not exactly sure what to do there), installing it to a different directory, I restarted, ran some registry cleaners, tried everything in safe mode, nothing seems to help. Then I made the mistake of installing 3.1 anyways and killing the process once it got to that point and safari runs fine except I can't log in to anything, which is kind of weird. I'm not sure what else to do and I really don't want to reinstall windows again. Can anybody help?

Okay what happens if you hit OKAY.. Does the installer roll back or does it continue to install?
I have had several programs do this to me in the past... Most of the time though they will continue and when the installer finishes, the program runs as desired after a restart of the system. Then i have had a few that would not. I always look for all traces of the program and delete them, after uninstall, I then go to Add/Remove Programs and Make sure there isn't any trace of it there. If there is I try the uninstall and it shows that it isn't valid and will be removed from the list. Next is a thorough registry cleaning. Usually this fixes the issue, and I have no problems afterwards.
You may want to check the settings in your registry cleaner and in Local Security Policy, or in any other security software you may have to make sure you have not disallowed system access to the registry, or crippled it in someway. Some programs freeze the ability to do so for security reasons and reasons such as a situation where you may have several users on one system to maintain a constant state for the Windows Environment.
I would go to Microsoft Update, with IE7; and check for any and all missed updates then I would do a complete shut down. Reboot, close any extra un-needed applications that may load on system start. Then try to re-install...

I'm having the same registry issues with my CDROM, getting the warning when iTunes starts up. I've followed the article on how to add the upperFIlter to the registry and it solves the warning message but the DVD/CD writer disappears completely.

I'm having thet same registry issues with my CD-/DVD as is talked about in one of the fix articles I've found here. I added the UpperFilter entry to the registry since it was not there and restarted. This fixes the warning message but then there's no CD/DVD device shown at all in windows. I can put it back to normal and vice versa and get the same results, but I can't get this issue fixed. When I get the registry warning on starting iTunes, I can still rip from CDs and my DVD burner works just fine using other programs.
Any more ideas?

This fixes the warning message but then there's no CD/DVD device shown at all in windows.
That symptom suggests the afs.sys issue ... but there's some other things that might cause it too.
We'd better check to see if we can find what's going on.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs - + sign closes app

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs or view other tabs.
The + sign just closes the app every single time!
In some cases, the back and forward buttons don't work.
It's driving me crazy becuase if the webpage I'm on opens and ad or tab that I don't want to look at, I can't close it and go back, I have to retype the web address in and find where I was on the site!

I, too, tried all the fixes...nothing worked.
Found another thread on this forum and looks like a lot of us are having same problem.
Next time it happens, go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT and check to see it there is a "low memory" incident report.
If there is:
See the discussion thread "iPad Air Low Memory Crashes".
Seems to be common....this could turn into a HUGH issue.

Mid-2010 MacBook Pro Safari/Graphics issue??

Hi. Below I've posted a picture of what I've been experiencing on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro that is running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.1).
Usually, my screen stays like that for a few seconds, then those little things go away. However, when I took the screenshot, my screen stayed like that for about 20 minutes. I've had this issue in both Safari and Firefox. Even updating to 10.7.1, this still happens.
What could possibly be wrong? Is it a bug with Lion or is my graphics card at fault?
I really appreciate your help! Thank you!!

jodifromcinnaminson,
nope — one reason why the cost of Apple products in the US is low compared to prices in other countries is that the prices in other countries often include seller’s warranties which extend beyond the manufacturer’s warranty; that’s not the case in the US.
If you’re intent on purchasing no more Apple products because of how they’d handled the 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro defect, then I’d highly recommend writing a letter to Apple explaining exactly why you’ve made that decision.

Safari & Mail issues I am having after moving over to Safari from Mozilla

I am transitioning from Mozilla to Safari for mac and it is a very painful process. Nothing seems to work intuitively. Some issues I am having:
In Mail
1. When deleting the mail in my mail box, it always deletes from the bottom up and not the top down. I cannot seem to find a way to change this.
2. Whenever I delete the mail I don't want, it greys out but doesn't leave the mailbox- even when I try to drag it to the trash, it still stays there.
3. Each time I start the machine, the old greyed out mail duplicates itself.
4. The mail program is always crashing (literally 5 times a day) - is it that I downloaded the beta 4 of safari?
5. Is there an easy way to display the address book? It seems that I fuss and muss for a few minutes before it actually shows up. I am trying to upload new addresses in it and it is very difficult to open. When I click on the link on the header, a little address window comes up, but not the one for adding addresses.
Safari:
1. I am trying to sort my bookmarks that I imported from my mozilla program and safari doesn't allow me to show both my current bookmarks and the imported ones in the same window panes. So rather than seeing "the whole picture" of where I am clicking and dragging, I have to battle with watching a stream of bookmarks and sub bookmarks scroll by until I get to the file I want to add to. Very irritating
2. Is there a way to set Time machine so it isn't always backing up (other than turning it off)? I don't need hourly backups, and would be happy with daily ones.
My transition from Mozilla was an ugly one, and I still have lots of pieces of Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey still loaded in the profiles section of the HD. Could these errant pieces be part of the problems?
There are more issues and I will post them as I detect them. I would appreciate any help
Rick

I also see that it seems to be moving all of the mail over from my gmail account. I didn't mean to move everything out of gmail to this computer! Now what do I do??

Safari 5 issues resolved since using OPEN DNS/working fine here at WEGMAN'S

my issues have been resolved since using OPEN DNS codes. have been using the internet at home and also am using it at WEGMAN'S right now and seems to run fine. i'm satisfied! btw, cnet.com gave Safari 5 an excellent rating.

HI,
Use Open DNS Free / Basic No more problems with DNS. Includes anti phishing filters.
For Safari. Empty the cache more often. From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache. A faster way is: Option + Command + E on your keyboard.
And from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Change Settings next to: Proxies. That will prompt the System Preferences / Network pane
Make sure none of the boxes are selected under: *Select a protocol to configure* If there are, deselect the box, then click: OK.

TRY OPEN DNS OR GOOGLE'S NAMEBENCH TO RESOLVE SAFARI 5 ISSUES

HI,
2 DAYS AGO, I EXPERIENCED ALL THE PROBLEMS YOU GUYS ARE HAVING WITH THE SAFARI 5 UPGRADE. I THEN SAW A POST ABOUT OPEN DNS CODES CLICKED ON THE ARTICLE ABOUT IT AND PLUGGED IN THE APPROPRIATE NUMBERS. HAS WORKED FINE SINCE. SOMEONE ELSE POSTED ABOUT DNS CODES AND USING GOOGLE'S NAMEBENCH WHICH I HAVEN'T TRIED SINCE THE INTERNET SPEED I AM AT CURRENTLY SUFFICES. HERE IS THE LINK FOR GOOGLE'S NAMEBENCH FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DOWNLOAD IT: http://code.google.com/p/namebench/ USING THE OPEN DNS RESOLVED ALL ISSUES THAT SAFARI 5 HAD WHEN I UPGRADED. WORKS FINE AND I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS SINCE. HERE'S THE ARTICLE EXPLAINING OPEN DNS: http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/safari-5-0-hangs-while-loading-pages-fix/

No, that link doesn't work but the information is correct!
Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )

OPEN DNS HAS SOLVED MY SAFARI 5 ISSUES

Thought previously that the disk permissions would completely resolve the issue but was still experiencing some problems that others have described. Saw another post on open dns so googled it and found this article: http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/safari-5-0-hangs-while-loading-pages-fix/
Plugged in the numbers for the open dns and all seems to be fine in the Safari 5 universe now!

I upgraded my 2009 MacBook Pro to Mavericks 10.9.2 and now gmail won't connect, Safari has issues. What's up?

Just a week ago, I upgraded from the latest upgrade of Snow Leopard to Mavericks 10.9.2, due to the news about security concerns on all Apple computers and IOS devices. I did this upgrade at an Apple store under the guidance of a "genius".
The initial upgrade worked, but as days progressed I bagan noticing long boots of the OS, then long and longer time required to connect to my gmail account. Finally, I'm unable to connect with gmail at all. I tried using Firefox and Safari, but to no avail.
As of today, I've had difficulty in connecting with the Apple support website as well. It took several tries throughout the day to get to this place where I could post my delimma.
Have there been similar issues recently concerning the 10.9.2 so called up-grade? I'm about to connect to my backup drive and re-install Snow Leopard, which worked fine for all general purposes.

Your profile still shows 10.6.8.
Try running the combo update.

Having registry issues need to know what the backup disk contains PLEASE! Or any suggestions :) :)

So here's my issue I have really FUBAR'ed my laptop LOL. Basically my registry is gone kinda. I can't access any of the vital win7 programs ie Computer, IE9, Control Panel, any folders (documents, pictures music...) stuff like that. Now here's the kicker I can access my games from the start menu and some desktop shortcuts work. All the minor junk like calculator, notepad, wordpad etc. work. Hell I can even do remote desktop (weird I know). My net connection says that I am not connected however I actually am because I can access all of my files via my Desktop.
So here's what actually caused this. I downloaded and ran Cleanmypc registry cleaner ( I knew better shouldn't have touched this just a (insert choice word/s) to happen). I thought I was actually going to make it run faster after all the good reviews I poured over and didn't find any bad reviews. Before I even ran this I scanned it with Avast, Spybot, and Addaware just to make sure it wasn't full of crap!! Didnt find anything, so I continued. Ran it found several problems according to the product. Followed the instructions to the T. Let the program do a registry backup for me (I know what you are thinking I should have manually done it). My mistake. So I hit the inevitable fix all issues button and low and behold it ruined everything. I was unable to access anything and I mean everything. All my file associations where gone just like that period!!
I was even unable to run mypccleaner again. luckily though I was able to run the program via the run command kinda. The only part of the program that would actually work was the restore registry before the fix by using the backup file that the program made for me. Yea well that was a flipping joke it made it WORSE!
After all that and a few hours pouring over uneventful fixes I finally downloaded all the default registry values from Microsoft that they had for Win7 from another computer and luckily I was able to get them transferred over to my laptop (thank God for networks) But none of these files had any association so I had to manually add a few using CMD from a post that was buried in another forum until I could make a file association to regedit. Then I added the rest. So now my laptop is kinda working. I have access like I stated above but its only the minor stuff I have access to. I can't run any major program or it says no such interface supported.
So long story short I found an article here Repair Install that should work without losing everything (at this time I can't afford to do that have a DJ gig Saturday) but it says I have to have an original Win7 disk to be able to do it. So my question is if I order the backup disk from here will that disk allow me to be able to do this or am I going to have to find other means.
In all honesty if it wont that's fine I will take it and pay the money to get it repaired (don't really want to do that) as I need it in a couple days and the soonest I could have it back is two weeks. Yes I have a backup laptop but that one is down as well bad HDD LOL have to replace. Wishing now that I would have spent the money on that 1TB external HDD that I was looking at
So again my questions are. Is the backup disk that I can order from here going to be able to solve my problem and if not does anyone here have any solutions. I run VDJ Pro but it says that my soundcard isn't installed or my drivers are bad. So I tried to reinstall the drivers but windows can't find the installshield file to be able to do that. Or is there a backdoor to being able to run WMP (it's an option not a very good one but an option if I can get it to work).
Thank you for taking your time in reading this. I know it's long but I just wanted to get all the info out to anyone that might be able to help me resolve this. So any comment is appreciated again THANK YOU!! I am desperate please!
I am running Win7 Home Premium on a Toshiba L555D-S70005

I can't lose anything from my laptop. Never backed it up. .. ..pay the money for them to reinstall and back everything up for me.
No need for that, Richard. You can rescue all your important files by the following method. And then restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
1. Prepare a thumb drive formatted in FAT32. It doesn't need to be large. This stuff only occupies 130 MB on mine.
2. Download UNetbootin to create the thumb drive.
3. Download a Puppy Linux .iso file for the operating system.
4. Run Unetbootin-win-xxx.exe and point it to the Lupu-xxx.iso file to create a bootable drive.
5. When you power on your computer, hold down the F12 key. That should give you the opportunity to choose the boot drive.
6. For some tips, scroll down to the following sections at this web page.

so on the whole i am not a mac savvy guy and don't have much experience on it.
In my recent project which a marketing site, stuck with an issue related to Apple Mac machine.
Here the problem is:
when i was testing my site on that mac machine i found two browser on that mac machine both are safari but version are different.
version are:
safari version 3.1.1 & safari 2.0.4
if i test my site on 3.1.1 everything looks perfect and fine but when i test the same site on 2.0.4 version the site look weird and distorted.
below is the detail of mac machine:
Operation system : OS X 10.4.11
browser version(1) : 3.1.1
browser version(2) : 2.0.4
so my questions overhere is :

- any method to define the different css for these two different version browsers?
any help or pointer would be highly appriciable.
Thanks,
Muckoda Baron

Safari 3.1.2.

Retina Macbook Pro with Safari display issues

Is anyone having crazy display issues with Safari on their rMBP? I'm noticing some wierd glitching going on. For instance, as I type this, it doesn't show the correct characters consistently. Sometimes when I'm in Gmail, entire portions of the interface are missing unless I move the cursor over them. Some pages don't load at all and I have to refresh. Other times I'll load a page, click a link, and then hit back to go to the previous page and it's empty.
I'm not experiencing this in third party applications like MS Office, or Chrome, or other parts of Mountain Lion (though I do suffer from the same jerky UI transitions that everyone else has, but that's a different story). Anyone else in my boat? Suggestions?

Nevermind, looks like other people have the same issues: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4145775?start=0&tstart=0
Looks like the "geniuses" have been sleeping on the job. Step up your game, Apple.

Safari Display issues in ebay

Please see screen grab below.
I'm having trouble with Safari rendering my Watch List Table on ebay. Notice how the columns are shortened/squeezed. The page loads and displays correctly for an instance then switches to the narrow columns.
• Have not noticed problem elsewhere.
• Firefox v15.0 renders page correctly.
• Safari v6.0.1
• OSX 10.8.2
• All plugins disabled.
• Have clear caches and reset Safari
Thanks

I have the exact same problem; but here's another twist I just discovered: I was in iTunes and I went to resize the window and every time I would resize it the window would center itself on the screen and then expand outward from there in all four directions. After I was done resizing I could move the window anywhere I wanted on the screen but as soon as I would attempt to resize it again it would re-center and do the same thing again.
I have noticed the scrolling issue in Safari, and it's not just text, things like input fields and form buttons will be mal-aligned too, and I don't think it's because the web site was designed poorly.
There have been other various graphics glitches I've come to notice as well, most of them really small or at the time I considered insignificant to notice. One that is especially annoying is the overlay from "You Control Tunes". It will flicker in and out instead of the chosen transition.
Do we have any idea what is causing this and how we can fix it or will we have to wait for an update? Please note that this is a MacBook Pro 17" from June 2007 and I'm running Leopard with all the latest firmware / software updates.
Thanks!!

Safari Display Issues

Hi,
I've just recently run into a problem with Safari's display. When I scroll down, items tend to become out of line. To fix it, I can usually scroll back up, and try again, but it's annoying. The longer the website, generally the more issues I'm having. Take eBay for example. The top of the page displays correctly, but as soon as I begin to scroll down, the new items don't align correctly, and they tend to cover up stuff directly above. Usually when I scroll up and then back down, the issue has been fixed, or something else has shifted, so I can at least read what was originally screwed up. I've also noticed issues with the display of Flash items, specifically the stock charts on Yahoo! Finance. This may be a combination of two different issues, but at any rate, browsing the internet is becoming quite stressful. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I am having the same issue with the shifting lines. Additionally, on some pages (Facebook is one, but it does it to others, too) the display "blinks" as I scan down the page. Two distinct square areas are affected. I'm posting this here because they seem to be related. Clearing the cache did nothing; it only seemed to go away after a full restart (not just logging out of my user). Any ideas?
