Safari Web Browser has stopped working.

Have been happily using Safari as my primary web browser, but now I repeatedly get this error message. I have trie repairing it and deleting/reinstalling to no avail. Really would like to get safari back as its so much better than IE/Firefox.

another oddity is that another user on the PC can use safari perfectly well.
Not sure what is causing it.

  • "safari web browser has stopped working" ... help?

    So a number of months ago (5, I believe) Safari Web Browser crashed and I tried opening it and a message popped up that said:
    +Microsoft Windows:+
    +Safari Web Browser has stopped working+
    +A problem caused the problem to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.+
    Now up until the crash, I was extremely satisfied with Safari and it was my default internet browser. After I kept seeing this message when trying to start Safari, I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it, then tried repairing it several times. It kept showing the same message for a while so I decided to give up for a few months, so I tried again and the same thing happened. Once again I gave up and today I tried again when I updated my iTunes and that same message popped up and Safari didn't work.
    So I decided to post here to see if someone can help me figure out and fix the problem since I prefer that browser to most and never had any problems with it until I froze it and it crashed that number of months ago.
    Thanks and your help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Vista, but in XP the Safari preferences etc. are stored in this location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\YourUsername\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\
    If you know where the equivalent Vista location is, rename the Safari directory to be Safari_backup and then retry launching the application to see if one of the files in there is corrupt and causing Safari to crash.
    If it does work after doing that, try moving the files one by one back from the Safari_backup directory to the newly created Safari directory, restarting Safari each time, until you find the problematic one.

  • Webkit 2 web process has stopped working

    every time i open a page in safari this page pops up saying webkit 2 web process has stopped working and then the page restarts.any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    Uninstall Safari and reinstall:

  • Safari in Lion has stopped working.

    Safari in Lion has stopped working.  All my peers that have lion have been having this problem, and those that still have Snow Leopard have no issues with their Safari. The loading animation only gets to about as far as "http://" and just hangs there. It says it's connected to the internet (i've tried with both wi-fi and ethernet). I have no idea what happened, as it had been working for a solid month before this.
    I'm sadly writing this message from the firefox browser .
    In the past to get it to start working again (for a short period of time), i would:
    Emtpy Cache in Safari
    Reset Safari
    Remove my Wi-Fi remembered internets
    Delete Wi-fi
    Reboot the computer
    Re-add Wifi
    Reconnect to the internet
    it would still hang for a bit, but eventually it would load a page.
    If anyone has any advise, it's much appreciated.

    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 four lines of text in monospaced type, which are actually shell commands -- little programs. They’re harmless, but they must be used exactly as given in order to work. Some of the lines will probably wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long 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 either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Step 1
    Launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the window, and press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    Step 4
    ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address will appear in the output of the above command. Change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
    Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Satellite T130: inbuilt web camera has stopped working

    Hi, I have the same problem of the question bellow, like I have looked around and I was not able to find the answer I need.
    I have a Satellite T130 and, suddenly, the inbuilt web camera has stopped working properly. A blue light is on, but there is no image. What can I do?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    the blue light is beside the web cam, on the top of screen. But this light is on when I try to use the web cam in anywhere, like Skype, Msn or even in programs in the computer that only take a pictue or make a video of you, without ineternet (I do not know the name of this program). But it seems that computer and the programs recognize the web cam, because there is no messages when I turn on the web cam.
    In Skype settings is the same, there is nothing wrong, there is no different message. The only thing is when I try to take picture a message appears: "failed", but the video seems to record normally, although everythng is black.
    Could you understand what I meant?
    Sorry about my english....

  • When I start play memories (4.0.01) "Browser has stopped working" appears.

    When I start play memories (4.0.01) "Browser has stopped working" appears in a popup overlaying the
     PlayMemories Home. Popup also requests you close the program, making this version of PlayMemories
    unuseable! Prior versions worked. I am running a current version of Windows 7 ultimate.

    Hi jkrad4130,
    The My Pictures folder is the defautl folder where the software gets all the files from so you can view and edit them. If you want to add other folders containing your media files from earlier imports, just click on File, Add folders and select the folder you want the software to manage. I would also suggest backing up your files to another device, if you have any.
    If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accept as Solution". Thanks_Mitch

  • Safari 3.0 "has stopped working"! Please help!

    Here's my problem: When I open Safari a window immediately pops up and reads: "Safari has stopped working... Windows will close the program notify you if a solution is available". I've tried and tried to reinstall Safari but it hasn't budged. I've tried restarting the computer multiple times but still nothing. I also uninstalled Apple Software Support. I recently installed Safari 3.0 (from FileHippo.com), it will bring Safari up and will show the "top part" (the gray part) but the page will be blank and in the task bar at the bottom of Vista it says: "Failed to open page". So I'm not sure where to go from here.
    I would love to hear a response! thanks!

    Well, if your ever used new versons of Safari on Windows, the font is ridiculously wide.
    Not so's I've noticed, with Safari 4.0.4 through 5.0.2 by comparison with other web browsers (IE 8, Firefox, Chrome also currently running on this PC).
    Could you uninstall the 3.0, reinstall a 5.0.2, take a screenshot of the text effect, put the screenshot up on an image hosting site and post a link to the screenshot, please?

  • Familybase usage reporting on Verizon web site has stopped working

    I've been a Verizon customer since 1993, and as I work in the technology field consider myself adept at using electronic devices and services.
    I set up and have been using family locator and familybase for about a month. I set up time and data usage windows, trusted and blocked telephone numbers, and everything worked well. The family base web site showed me usage by time period, top apps and time used.  Everything was working fine till last Sunday afternoon when the Verizon web site started giving me a message that the service was unavailable.
    I tried logging in from a Mac with safari, a pc with IE and with chrome, my iPhone and from an android tablet with the same result- the service is unavailable, try back later. I satisfied myself it was not the device or browser I was using to access the web page as the error was platform independent.
    i next restarted the child device after confirming the companion app was installed and "self identifying" that it was installed and running. No change. I then reinstalled the companion app from the Google play store, and it again appeared to be installed correctly. The services associated with familybase appeared to be running on the android device. Still, no service available on the vzw web site.
    I'm at my wits end.  I've done everyone I've found in these forums to troubleshoot this, and the service continues to be unavailable. I know we're only talking 4.99 a month but it's starting to be annoying that something has stopped for no apparent reason and now won't work.

        aNHguy, I want to make sure that you are able to use FamilyBase. I appreciate all the steps you have taken to troubleshoot this. When you are on your My Verizon account, do features still show FamilyBase under your current features? You mentioned that you have been using the service for a month so I want to ensure that after the one month free trial expired that the feature remained on your account.

  • Built in web cam has stopped working - Satellite A200

    The built in webcam on my Satellite A200 stopped working yesterday and I dont know why. I have not installed any new software recently but it is not recognized when I use Skype or any other program. When trying to use the camera, an error tells me no camera is recognized or it is switched off.
    I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled several times but it has not helped.
    Please, does anybody have any ideas? (OS Vista).

    Hi
    Sorry but it is not easy to say what is wrong there. I recommend you to roll back OS to earlier time using system restore tool. I am pretty sure you will be able to use cam again.
    I have cam on P200 and use it with Skype without any problems. I really hopr you will be able to solve this.
    Good luck!

  • Help, My web app has stopped working.

    Hey guys, I got my N95 thru orange and i've had it for nearly two weeks now. The phone is great and until now I've had no trouble.
    I've been using the inbuilt web app to access Orange world (Oranges mobile site, football, tv, etc etc) and all of a sudden it's stopped working.
    I have contacted Orange and they have sent me a configuration message with the wap settings and they have also talked me through setting them up manually but it still hasn't worked. I also didn't think it was the settings that were at fault in the first place but they still talk you through it all anyway.
    What happens is when I click onto the web app, the menu disappears as though the phone is about to launch into the web app itself and then straight away it returns to the phone menu. It doesn't even attempt to connect to any service at all. Just straight back to the menu.
    I think maybe the app itself might be missing.
    Can anyone help me out
    Thanks
    David

  • Internet Browser has stopped working.

    The browser on my blackberry has stopped loading anything and i can't get onto any websites, any advice?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Best!
