Safari unable reload last session automatically in Lion

Hi there,  For some reason my safari could not reload the last session after close and reopen the browser window.  Does anyone having the same problem?  Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem too, and here's how I fixed it: 
Go into System Preferences > General.
In the "General" preferences pane, uncheck the "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Close system preferences, and reopen Safari.

  • Safari 7 on Mavericks not reloading last session even though option in preferences selected!

    Hi all,
    I'm going a bit crazy. Safari will NOT reload my tabs from the last session when it opens. I have the correct setting in oreferences selected. I have tried deleting the preferences in library, but all to no avail!
    Any ideas?!
    Cheers

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Safari/LastSession.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • Stop safari from opening last session in Yosemite

    I've searched the web looking for an answer.
    Just upgraded to Yosemite and have Safari 8 now on my Macbook Pro. 
    Everytime I open Safari, it opens my last session...I get some people like this, I do not.
    I've seen that there’s now a separate preference for what Safari 8 should do on startup: open a new window or restore all windows from the previous session.
    I can't seem to find the option in Safari preferences anymore.
    I want Safari to open to my homepage....I shouldn't have to click the Shift button every time....plz help.

    Hi ..
    Open System Preferences > General
    Select:   Close windows when quitting an app
    Then restart your Mac to test.

  • Safari keeps loading last session window upon launch

    I have tried everything I know to delete the last session so that it doesn't come up overtime I close and restart Safari.  As a related issue, when I log back in to Yosemite, the same applications launch even though I do not have the reopen windows when logging back in checked.  Also, Systems Preferences loads with the sharing pane vice the main pane with all the options.

    For any one in the future with the same problem, I resolved it by opening Safari, waiting for the crash to come, and closing it. Then using the Safari menu, and going to "Reset Safari". You then need to QUIT Safari (almost like you'd install something and then restart your computer) and reopen it. Works fine now.

  • Firefox opens the last session automatically instead of opeming the homepage

    The firefox is opening the last session(the tab/s i had open before i closed firefox) when i open a new window. pls reply fast!! and this is the second time i'm typing this stupid question becoz i pressed backspace and the page went back!!! D:

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

  • Safari in lion - To not open last session automatically

    Hello all
    I have just upgraded to Lion on my MacBook Pro and I have noticed that my Safari browser automatically opens up the last page and history from when I last opened the program.
    Is there any way to not automatically open to the last page you opened and open on the home page?
    Thanks

    I had the same problem too, and here's how I fixed it: 
    Go into System Preferences > General.
    In the "General" preferences pane, uncheck the "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
    Close system preferences, and reopen Safari. 

  • Lost Preference: "(Automatically) Reopen all windows from last session"

    I was delighted that Safari, under TIGER, finally offered a preference option such that all windows open last session would automatically open when Safari re-starts. This preference seems to be missing under LION. Now I'm back to using the drag-down command "History/Reopen..." every time I restart Safari or my Mac.
    Anyone know of a LION workaround?

    Thanks Carolyn... for the "reminder."
    Ironically, I had read one of your earlier postings to this type of query... and your good advice led me into trouble!
    Since my first re-boot after installing Lion had led to a loss of open Safari windows (for no apparent reason), I ended up misunderstanding your post. After reading your tip, I went into SysPrefs and DISABLED the resume feature... It seemed backwards... but I gave it a try
    Go figure, Resume didn't happen when I restarted my Mac... so I posted this thread, asking if anyone had any other ideas
    You were kind enough to point me back to that SysPreference... and voila... with Resume pref CHECKED the mac performs as we'd like... all my windows (re-)open as Resume is designed.
    I have no idea why it didn't work on my first trial... but it's working just fine now!
    Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction

  • Safari 6.0, what happened with option to open with windows from last session?

    Made the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and realized that I don't longer have the option to open Safari with windows from last session (Preferences->General). The option has been removed:

    They don't. I can access them by history ->reopen all windows from last session, but that's not what I want.
    Does anybody else have this problem or is it just me that lost that option on Preferences -> General?

  • How do I set Safari to prompt before closing multiple tabs OR reopen all of the closed tabs when when I relaunch the application?  The "Reopen all windows from last session" is unselectable.

    How do I set Safari to prompt before closing multiple tabs OR reopen all of the closed tabs when when I relaunch the application?  The "Reopen all windows from last session" is unselectable.

    It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''',
    *when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab
    *when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session"
    #Have you tried that?
    #If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox?
    '''Restore Previous Session'''<br />
    Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session. For this to work

  • Safari 5.1.2 opens two of every window when selecting "Reopen all windows from last session" since the latest update.

    Since the latest Saffari update to 5.1.2, every time I close Safari and reopen, and select "Reopen all windows from last session," two of every window opens.  I must go through a long list under the 'Window' menu and select one of eac pair and close them.  What a hassle. 
    Has anyone experienced this as well, and is there a fix?

  • Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

    I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2.  Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
    For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem.  But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history.  I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
    Please help.

    Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877.  They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support.  Or buy the paid version.  They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
    It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network.  Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
    Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time!  They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update!  I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

  • Safari Reopen All Windows from last session greyed out

    Hi there,
    I am using Safari 7.0.6 version. I have a Macbook Pro OS X  10.9.4  I have made sure that under my Safari Preferences/General/ the Close all windows .... is UNCHECKED but I still can't get the "Reopen All Windows From Last Session" to be activated.  I can't even do it manually as it is greyed out.
    Any suggestions? 

    Unfortunately no, but there is a free Safari extension that offers this feature.
    Glims for Safari | www.MacHangout.com
    Once Glims is installed, you can access the settings in Safari > Preferences > Extensions then select the General tab then toggle: Restore Tabs and Launch on.
    Other handy features as well.
    And you can have Glims check for updates automatically.

  • One of the users on my Mac book pro, running Mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on

    One of the users on my Mac book pro running mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on.
    For instance, the Macintosh HD icon, is always moved so that it is almost off the screen to top left hand side of the desktop.
    None of my changes to the sidebar in the finder are there.
    My changes to the dock have reverted.
    Despite unticking the box when logging out, even though i have quit all applications, iphoto and safari are always re-opened.
    iphoto always says the library needs to be upgraded... even though i did that the last time.
    I have tried deleting ALL the files in the "Saved application state" folder in the library folder, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
    This is on a second admin user account.
    The main user account seems to be fine.
    This account used to be in the filevault on Lion, but is not now in Mountain Lion.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    The same tragic thing happened to me, not even a full two days after I bought it. I immediately powered it off, wiped it as best I could, and put it in front of a fan. I tried valiantly to get the back off, but couldn't remove all the screws. I was basically inconsolable until I realized that no matter what, my credit card insurance would cover it, since it had been less than 90 days. Fast forward 48 hours, and it seemed to run just fine. Some of the keys and the track pad were sticky, and I figured since it was covered, I might as well get it fixed. My only concern at this point was had I voided the Apple Care. I brought it in, told them what happened, said what I needed to satisfy the credit card, and they said, "We'll just swap it out for you, no problem." I was thrilled, and the Genius said they appreciated my honesty, and it was easier for all parties to just do it this way. And my Apple Care was transferred to the new machine. This was my first Mac and, needless to say, I am now an Apple devotee.

  • How to recover last session/lost tabs on Safari 5.0.5?

    Okay so I own a Macbook Air, and I always charge it no matter what, it's always charging and it always has battery. I keep open LOTS of things such as text-edit, safari w/ tabs, and pages. So today after I closed it, (didn't turn it off or anything) I came back and hour later to find it turned off, I turned it on again. And it clearly still had 27% of battery left. And ALL of my WORK was GONE!! I got so frustrated, I read there's no way I can recover lost textedit stuff if I didn't save it, I don't really mind what happened to pages. But I had important stuff in textedit I'm trying to remember and jot down now, and I also had important tabs opened in Safari. Is there any way to recover these tabs from the previous session? I read you can go to History > Reopen tabs from last session. But I don't see that option anywhere, I can't right-click on History nor does History have a drop down option.... Please help! =\ I'm very frustrated... thanks.

    well, it's meant to
    "  To have TextEdit automatically save (or “autosave”) a backup of documents while you’re working, choose how often you want to autosave from the “Autosave modified documents” pop-up menu below Autosaving. If TextEdit unexpectedly quits, it opens the backup copy of your document the next time you open TextEdit. "
    If you'd previously saved it, there ought to be a  filename (autosaved) file in the same folder as the saved one.
    If never saved - look in
