Safari-will not keep position in dock and vanishes after closing-any ideas?

I know this topic has been addressed previously but has there been a solution to this problem
Some have written and suggested solutions but I have yet to see 'cause' of this annoying problem, and any definitive answer.
have read and tried most of the suggestions- some solve problem momentarily but not permanently.
Thanks....

Hello,
First, if there is a Safari icon in your Dock, drag it out. It should go up in a "poof" .. next try deleting this file: com.apple.dock.plist /Users/YourName/LIbrary/Preferences. Drag that file from your Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash. Now go to your Applications folder, launch Safari, when you see the Safari icon in the Dock, click the icon then click: Keep in Dock. See if it works.

I have Numbers on iPad2 and it will not open. It tries and immediately closes. Any ideas/

I can't seem to open up Numbers at all on my iPad2. It tries to open, but immediately crashes and closes. Any ideas of what to do?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.
If that doesn't help, you might consider deleting and re-installing the app.

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

Safari will not "keep in dock"

Recently Safari (v3.1.2) has refused to stay in the dock. If I drag the icon to the dock from the applications folder, it disappears in a few seconds. When the application is open, it's icon sits on the right hand side of the dock, just like any other application which is not normally in the dock. Whilst it's there, I've tried selecting "keep in dock" from the right-click menu. But when I quit, it disappears again. Also, whilst Safari is open, if I try to move the icon from the far right to any other place on the dock it zips back to the right hand side after a few seconds, and then disappears when I quit.
I have searched this and other forums and it seems like I'm not the only person to encounter this problem. The only "solution" I have found posted is a complete re-install! I have tried deleting the dock.plist and dock.db files. After I restart, the default collection of dock items appears, including Safari. Seconds later, however, it disappears. I just cannot get it to stay where I want it and it's driving me mad! Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi riseoftherobots, I re-asked this question on the forum about the Dock and got some help there (although no straightforward answer, seems it's not a straightforward problem). See this link

Safari Will Not Load Webpages since iCloud and osx software update

I already had updated to osx lion, and this was just a package update for it, including iCloud. Ever since I am able to open safari no problem and occasionally after about 5mins it will load a webpage. I also use firefox and opera and i do not have a problem with either of those but I would prefer to continue using safari if it can be fixed. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
And could be a third party plugin preventing pages from loading as they should. Troubleshooting help here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

After installing Lion my keyboard will not work at all and it will not recognize my wi-fi connection at times. Any ideas for a solution to this problem?

It will not let me type anything now and the wi-fi connection is not recognized at times! Please help!! This only happened after I downloaded Lion.

Now that you have restored it to Apple software, we can help - no kidding.
If WiFi is grayed out (tap Settings first) then you will not be able to select WiFi. See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
If you can select WiFi, your touch will then detect WiFi networks that are within range. Networks that are protected by encryption will display with a closed lock. Open networks will have an open lock. Networks are displayed by strongest signal to weakest signal.
Closed/locked networks require a password or WEP key to join. Open networks often require that you agree to terms and conditions for that network. This usually occurs with a Safari-like screen that appears 15-30 seconds after you tap on the network. Until you go through that screen, it might look like you are connected but you are not.
Spend some time going through the basic WiFi troubleshooting guide: httpL//support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Firefox claims that it is already running and will not let me start a new session after closing out

I've been having this problem intermittently on both my Dell XPS 8000 and my HP nx7400 laptop. The Dell is running the latest version of Windows 7 Pro and the HP is running XP Pro (fully updated). After closing out of a Firefox session and running other apps, Firefox will not let me initiate another session, saying that "Firefox is already running... Please close the session..." That's not an exact quote, but you get the idea. CTRL-ALT-DEL and all other conventional means don't work and I am forced to reboot the system. This is a royal pain.. and I need some pain relief! Any suggestions? I may revert to an earlier version of Firefox until I see a solution... can't hurt, but I really like 4.0 and I don't look at going backwards as "progress."
Thanks.

Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

***See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode
***Firefox 4 users, hold the Shift key while clicking the Firefox 4 desktop icon to enter Safe Mode.
***Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox.
****In Firefox 4, Safe Mode also disables Plugins and Hardware Acceleration.

****When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode".
****Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
*** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it
***#by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears.
***#You can also enable a few at a time (3-5), keeping track of what you just re-enabled to see if the problem re-occurs; this will help narrow down the possibilities if you have a large number of add-ons.

Safari version 5.1.2 keeps loading pages slowly and eventually freezing. Any ideas on what the problem is?

I recently updated safari to version 5.1.2. And now all the time it loads everything frustratingly slow and then eventually freezes with the spinning wheel icon, forcing me to restart the computer (MacBook pro 2009). I am running Mac OSX Lion latest version.

Several things to try...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Deselect: Enable plug ins Quit then relaunch Safari. If Safari speeds up loading pages, troubleshooting help for > Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit, relaunch Safari.
Quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Check for Login Items: Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there. And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Try Safari in another user account. Same problems there, then log back into your admin account, launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

music on itunes will stop every 10 to 30 seconds for 2/3 a time
laptop will freeze (shows the loading disc) most of the time im on it
will not play any games eg sims medeval, same as itunes it pauses every 30 or so seconds
if anyone has any ideas on what i can do to sort it out would be much appreciated!
i have tried resetting it and loading everything back on, it didnt work
thanks leozmck

update, after another reformat and reinstall of the drive and OS, the macbook is running (not shutting down anymore) but only on A/C, and still does not recognize the battery. I installed Snow Leopard, checked to make sure I had latest firmware updates (did) then updated to the latest Snow Leopard version, about a 1.26 GB download, then used my USB install key for Lion and upgraded. No shutdowns during all of this, looks like a clean Lion install, but still does not see the Battery.
Any of you experts have any ideas?

HT203167 I synced my ipod touch and for whatever reason I have now opened an itunes library with some songs missing. Theses songs still remain on my touch but the ipos will not sync them back on to my library!Any ideas?

I synced my ipod touch and the library opened up with some songs missing. These songs remain on my ipod, I thought that by syncing they would return to my itunes library. But they won't. Has anyone seen this before?

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites or copied from your own CDs then are they not already on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPod.

Itunes will not accept my securty code and won't take any other card I submit

itunes will not accept my security code so I can not update or purchase even free aps and won't take another card- so what do you do?

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
