Safari Update Sending my MBP into Spasms?!

I have a latest gen Macbook Pro. I installed the latest Safari Security update (3.1.1 I believe) and rebooted the system before starting to work this morning. On reboot it started behaving erratically. I don't know if all of these symptoms are related or if they were caused by the update but non of them happened until after it was installed.
1. iTunes would suddenly stop playing over my USB audio adapter. Sometimes switching it back between USB and built-in audio fixed the issue the first couple of times then it didn't. Then nothing would play. Then no sound at all. Then the other accounts on the computer started having trouble.I tried rebooting and then it worked again for a about three minutes. I started just using the built-in output and it seems to be working for now.
2. The Finder started crashing. And then crashing. And crashing. I literally watched it pick up speed until it was crashing and relaunching at full clip. To the credit of OSX I could continue to use certain programs (firefox) while the rest of Rome burned around me.
3. When I quit Safari (which had seemed to be going slow but working fine) the finder magically stopped its crash and rebirth cycle.
4. System Preferences is also now crashing erratically but I can't pinpoint a repeatable set of actions that is causing that.
Am I the only one with bizarre signs of instability after the update? Any insight? The computer is still under warranty but I'd rather not waste a(nother) morning by dragging it into the Apple Store. Avoiding Safari and USB audio seems to make the computer stable enough to work but this hardly seems like a solution since my setup worked fine yesterday!
Thanks for looking!

Did you repair permissions after the update? If not, try that and see if it helps.
Can only report that I have not had any of these issues with my MBP after the Safari update.
Good luck!

  • 10.6.8 update sends mini mac into panic screen what now?

    After update mini mac is now a brick
    Unable to safe boot or use any key commands
    So is it time to reinstall software?

    If you put the software install dvd in you should be able to boot to it and at least try to run a repair disk or repair permissions. You could also try and boot to the AHT apple hardware test cd.
    I would not reinstall just yet.

  • I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking.  How do I revert back to an older version?

    I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking.  Another reason I loved using this computer was autofill, now that does not work the same either, I have to respond twice to get my info to fill in.  I fill out many forms in a day and this change has been so bad that I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox to use instead.  I hope apple fixes these issues but until then how do I revert back to an older version of Safari?

    Quit Safari.
    Open Keychain Access   /Applications/Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left. Delete any keychains for sites you have problems logging into.
    Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure all three boxes are selected.
    Now navigate to a site, login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes.
    If you still have problems, go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash.
    ~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.
    Try logging into a site again.

  • Safari/Mail sended webpage are showed as empty messages

    Sometimes i send a web page using safari-thru-mail service, using "as web page".
    But receiver that use webmail.domain.* say me they receive empty messages.
    In fact the message is only hidden not empty, because when he/she reply to me content ...appears.
    Even when i choose "send as link" the result is an hidden "empty" message,
    or a spam positive check.... So i print as pdf the page and sen them as attach.
    i will send web page as web page, how resolve?
    Any help will be appreciated, i will send web pages as readable emails.
    my hw? mbp 13" display retina,
    my sw? osx maverics 10.9.5 and all updated to last (up today) version.

    I'm sorry. I really didn't look at it before I agreed to do the update but it was the last update that Apple put out. I think it was 10.4.10 before the update. So the update was to install 10.4.11. and two other things. A safari update? Is there a place I can look to see what these updates were? I did run repair permissions before taking the computer to Apple for the tune up. So to answer your question I would have to say yes, I did. Anyway... I do not know what they did there. All the fellow said was that they would have written things on the receipt if they had found any problems. So we assumed since there was nothing written that nothing was wrong. Brought the computer home and everything worked fine for several days until I ran software updater and installed the new updates last night. After that, I did run permissions repair, again, and as I said it had a huge long list of things that it had repaired. So now safari, mail ,and software updater quit unexpectedly repeatedly, often without being able to bring the programs up at all. I did notice in the reports that were sent to Apple after the apps failed that all had in common the words "ExecBadAccess (0x0001)" and "codes:Kerninvalidaddress (0x0001)" etc, part of the reports. Did the update change something in the kernal? I have been afraid to try to open itunes or iphoto. Most things are backed up and my itunes and iphoto libraries are on external hard drives. I forgot to back up delicious library however. The last application I downloaded before taking the computer to Apple and doing this upgrade was dot mac's "Back-Up" app. So... can I get the computer back to the way it was before the update? What can I do? Thank you so much.- Charlotte

    Hello
    My system version 10.5.8
    I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:
    "Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".
    After deleting all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin", Safari worked again no problem, BUT all sites with flash content (e.g.YouTube) did not work.
    I then tried the following experimental steps:
    a) Moved all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin" into a temporary folder.
    b) Downloaded and istalled Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.181.34
    c) Started Safari and it did not work ( same message"TastyAppsAVPlugin")
    d) Deleted Adobe Flash Player from the folder "Internet Plugin". Safari worked.
    e) Moved back all plugins, except Adobe Flash Player, from the temporary folder to "Internet Plugin" folder. Safari works... But Flash won't work!!! Before update to Safari 5.0.6 , ev erything worked perfectly well.
    Guys, please solve the problem

    I do not know which of the many TastyApps haxies you have.  Perhaps it would be better to contact them directly, once you know which of their products you have.

  • PowerBook G4 Safari update?

    My PowerBook G4 needs Safari updated, according to Gmail, Facebook and other sites.
    My G4 says all software is up to date. What Safari should I have?
    Additionally Facebook won't play videos.  It says I need to update Flashplayer.  I try to update it and it says I have Zero memory.  I need this little old laptop to work, as my regular laptop is broken and this is a spare to get me by until I can get a new machine.  Any help or tips provided are greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for anyone who tries to help me.

    You could try & use TenFourFox, as it does not generate the notice from google
    when attempting to use it with Google Accounts, especially gmail, the others do
    that are out-dated, such as older FireFox, SeaMonkey, Opera, or Safari. iCab
    does not appear to always generate the unsupported status notice, if you go
    into that browser menu bar settings to change its 'Browser Identity' to Safari 6...
    At least TenFourFox does support Tiger 10.4.11, as well as Leopard 10.5.8.
    To note: this browser does not use Flash or java, by default. For some video
    there are options, one is HTML5 support from the sites you visit. Other player
    items such as they are, can be read about in the TenFourFox page... see:
    Here is the main page with download, and other info about TenFourFox 31.2:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ - there are two versions for G4.
    The iCab browser builds have some usefulness, and there are some that can
    work with vintage or obsolete operating systems. Carefully note their specs.
    See iCab v. 4.9 for use with Panther 10.3.9 & Tiger 10.4.11, in 32-bit:
    http://www.icab.de/dl.php  - iCab puts a distracting temporary brand label up in
    the browser that goes away for a time, when used as-is. Licensed, it goes away.
    A recent version of 'SeaMonkey for PPC' v 2.26 for Leopard 10.5.8 exists, &
    I tried it. The fans run and it works really hard and slow no matter what, for me.
    So I don't recommend the latest version. The older one I like that still works,
    but has no secure update, was v. 2.13 SeaMonkey for PPC. An earlier build
    number was for Tiger, with v. 2.13 for PPC 10.5 Leopard.
    {There are some other versions of SeaMonkey, not for PPC.}
    Hopefully you can find some kind of compromise; an early Intel-based Mac
    with Snow Leopard 10.6.8, rosetta, and at least 2+ GB RAM helps for a start.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Safari update - problem with magic mouse

    Hi all, I recently installed safari update to 5.1 (6534.50) on a mabbook pro OS X 10.6.8. Ever since update, I've been experiencing the problem with safari reloading pages and kicking me out of websites that use flash player (back to log-in screen). I can deal with that by using another browser, however the update has really messed up my magic mouse. At first, every time I put my macbook to sleep or shut it off, the mouse would stop responding when I woke the mac up. I would have to disconnect the mouse and reconnect. But this was really eating up my batteries, so this morning I shut the mouse off when I put the mac to sleep. Now it won't connect at all. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks Carolyn and Barry,
    I did what Carolyn suggested - moving the .plist file into the trash. I have not resetting the PRAM or SMC yet.
    When I go to system preferences>Bluetooth, I get a screen that says:
    Bluetooth power is off. To use Bluetooth, first you must turn it on. (Note - my mouse is turned on)
    Both ON and DISCOVERABLE are checked.
    In the middle of the screen, it says No Devices (Set Up New Device...)
    When I select set up new device, it finds my device and attempts to pair but is unsuccessful.
    Resetting the SMC and PRAM scares me. After reading the links that Carolyn provided, I remembered another weird issue I had with my mac shortly before the update and mouse issue. For some reason, my clock suddenly became out of sync and I was on a 2000 date. I got an error message and reset the clock manually. Could this be the cause of my mouse issue? I feel like every step I've taken to get my mouse working again has made the problem just a little bigger!
    Thanks again for helping me!

  • After Safari Update, MS Word won't save

    Has anyone else gotten the latest Safari update download, and found that MS has lost its ability to save newly created docs? The Safari update was what I did immediately before Word went funny. A reinstall of Word (Office Mac 2004) didn't help. Using latest OS 10.3.9 on a G5 dual 1.8GHz Power PC.

    It seems now that the integrity of your OS is fine and that the problem is isolated to Office.
    Is it possible that you may have installed an additional third-party component/plug-in to add functionality to Office? If so it might be an idea to locate and trash that. You might also want to trash the preferences at user/[insert user name]/library/preferences. Trashing preferences is often the first thing to do when an application starts crashing.
    If the problem still persists then uninstalling and reinstalling might help. Hopefully the install disk has an uninstall option (I'm on the earlier version X so can't check). If you do this, then it would be a good idea to run disk repair/repair permissions first before reinstalling, and run repair permissions again after the install (this is good practice for any OS upgrade and major software installs).
    I don't know about the MS crash reporter (none such thing is version X), but it always seems to me that these are to assist software developers to identify problems for future patches/upgrades and not to solve your particular problem(!). In the case of Apple, all one gets is a little "thanks for sending to Apple" balloon. You might want to try the support pages at: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/support.aspx
    It's quite usual for applications to show up at HD and user level, so there's nothing wrong there.
    As to the Safari crash, do you have any components such as Pith Helmet, Acid Search, Sogudi? These are usually located in SIMBL plug-ins folders and can sometimes cause crashes (I'm troubleshooting just such an issue with Pith Helmet right now).
    I do hope you get up and running. The weather having improved here in London, I'm off to watch some cricket!

  • Safari Update required security code for validation

    I have an I Phone 5 & 6.  Received a request for a Safari update.  First asked for phone number.  None entered were accepted.  Then asked to enter security code sent to you in order to complete validation.  Did not receive a security code.  Don't know what this is asking for.  Any suggestions?

    I had this problem this morning on my iPhone 5. I went into Settings>>Safari>>Clear History and Website Data and clicked that. Unfortunately you'll lose any pages you had open as well as browsing history. However, this solved the problem immediately.

  • Safari Update pop up! Fake im sure, assist me what to do next.

    Hello, I got a pop up on my ipad that said it was a safari update. without thinking about whether it was fake or not, i just wanted the pop up to go away. It had asked for my mobile number which I will have to input the code I received. So I tried putting in the code and without doubt it fail multiple times after trying. So I just pressed home button and off button to restart the iPad. Now I'm just worried why did it need my phone number. I'm going to clear my iPad cache now.

  • Safari Updates on Mountain Lion?

    I have Safari 6.0.3 on my Mountain Lion and it tends to stall or freeze up quite a lot. Keep having to Force quit and many times I cannot even do that, so I would have to press the button behind my iMac computer until a menu pops up that allows me to restart the computer. This has to be done so many times during the day, in fact while I was typing this message the beach ball popped-up and froze Safari for about a minute before I could continue to finish typing this message.
    After force quitting or restarting the computer Safari will behave much better a lot of times but not all the time.
    I have not seen any Safari updates in a long time and wonder if it needs to be done?
    Is Safari the real problem here or could it be Mountain Lion? I have no idea, but Safari is what I use 90% on my computer.
    Thank you,
    Keith

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    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. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered. You can do that by copying and pasting as well. Omit the final line ending in “$”. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}' 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. It won't be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • IMac won't restart after latest Safari update.

    I just downloaded the latest Safari update (5.1.2) on my iMac (27", i7, latest Snow leopard).  The download (via software update) and install went smooth but when asked to restart, it hangs up at the gray screen...after the blue screen/start up chime, but before the apple logo appears. I tried shutting down and rebooting but it keeps hanging at the same place. 
    Thank you in advance for any successful solutions!
    Kind regards,

    Hi all,
    Thank you for the replies...
    I did manage to solve the problem right away by following the instructions offered by Apple:  Remove all USB cables, then do a hard reboot.  Then to isolate the cable causing the problem, plug in one at a time and reboot until the problem happens again.  In my case, the issue was caused by a Flip Camera that was plugged into a USB hub. 
    I hope this helps those with a similar problem.

  • Can we send the data into different data target from single datasource how

    Hai
    can we send the data into different data target from single datasource how ?

    Hi,
    Create the transformation for each target and connect through DTP if you are in BI 7.0
    If it is BW 3.5 create transfer rules and load it Info source and then different update rules for different targets then load it using IP.
    If you are speaking about loading data from R3 data source to multiple data sources in BI
    Then follow the below step.
    1)create init IP's and run the IP's with different selection to different DSO(With same selection it is not possible).
    2)Then you will have different delta queues for the same data source in RSA7
    3)Your delta loads will run fine to different data sources from same DS in R3.
    Hope this helps
    Regards,
    Venkatesh

  • TS3899 I drafted an email, hit my home button and went to Safari before sending the email or saving it as a draft. When I returned to mail, the email I was working on cannot be found. How can I recover it?

    I drafted an email, hit my home button and went to Safari before sending the email or saving it as a draft. When I returned to mail, the email I was working on cannot be found. How can I recover it?

    I've found that since I installed iOS7, I've had this problem a lot. In iOS6, I was initially cautious about leaving a draft open and unsaved while I used other apps, but soon found it was quite reliable and they were always still there when I returned to Mail.
    With the first version of iOS7, the draft was almost certain to be gone when I returned. Since iOS7.0.4 it's a lot better, but not reliable enough to trust. I've got into the habit of using Cancel/Save Draft *every* time I need to use Safari, etc, before continuing with an email I'm typing. It's just not worth having to retype it.
    Note that when you return to the Mail app, you don't have to go to the Drafts folder to find your draft again. Just tap and hold the New Message icon, and a list of drafts will appear. The most recent one will be at the top. I've found that this tip makes the idea of having to cancel, save and reopen much less tedious.
