Safari will not launch from Dock but will launch if I open it from an email
I recently reinstalled my operating system and Safari worked fine for a day. Went to open it from the Dock today and it would not open. Click on link in an email and it opens and works fine. Have trashed the preferences file. What else should I do. The crash report has the below for the last entry when it doesn't open. Can I trash that?

Hi Mike,
No, do not trash that file.
Quit Safari if it's open.
Locate this file. com.apple.launchservices.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Drag that file to the Desktop.
Try to launch Safari from the Dock.
If that does not work, drag the Safari icon up off the Dock. It will go poof. (not a technical approach but that's what it does). Now go to your Applications folder and launch Safari from there. If it opens as it should, select the Safari icon in the Dock / Keep In Dock.
If you still have problems with Safari, go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Open the Internet Plugins folder. If there are files there, delete them.
To empty the cache memory go to the Safari menu and click 'Empty Cache'.
To Reset Safari go to the Safari menu and click 'Reset Safari". Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

Eprint will not print from some email addresses
My grandmother does not have a computer but we have been using an hp printer to email her documents that are printed onto paper for her to read. We had an HP photosmart that died this week and we had to get an HP envy instead.
I changed the email address on the new printer to a similar one from the one we used before and changed the settings for printing to "open to anyone." Emails from our phones, gmail, yahoo or even my mom's work email address (which has tons of security) have all gone through fine but emails from my grandmother's church do not come through. They are not even registering on the collections to show that the email was sent.
It is extremely important that I figure out how to fix this. Any ideas?Hi @turtle290 ,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that ePrint jobs from the church are not printing.
The fact that they are not arriving in collections leads me to wonder, do they have the correct email?
It could also be something entirely different.

Safari is not launching after updating to Mac OS x 10.7.4
After updating my MacBook to Mac OS x 10.7.4 Safari is not launching any more. (Error Code: "Safari wurde unerwartet beendet")
Is there something to fix this or do I have to retun to the previous Mac OS version. If so, how can I do that?Have you tried a Restart of your Mac...
If no joy... go Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1524
and Download and Install the Combo Update...
Be sure to Restart your computer after installing. -
After installing IOS6:
After erasing the history of Safari, the next time I fire up Safari, I see a split-second of the last displayed screen of Safari.
Not a big issue but it should not be that way.Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data. -

Why will Safari not launch Eudora when I click on an email link?
It used to work just fine. However, for about a month now, when I click on "send an email" at my Real Estate Board site, Safari is replaced by a white screen, then reverts back to the "send an email" page. Eudora doesn't launch. Mail doesn't launch. I have Internet Explorer for Mac installed as well, and it won't connect via my e-mail programs either.
I also run Virtual PC, and under it, Internet Explorer. The Windoze version still works.
What gives?Let me restate my problem.
If I run Safari, click on the email link which should launch Eudora and open a "New Message" window, the screen goes white for a second and reverts back to the link screen but nothing happens. If I launch Eudora first, then in Safari click on the link, still nothing happens.
If I run Explorer for Mac v 5.2.3 it will neither launch Eudora nor open a New Message window if Eudora is already launched.
If I run FireFox, and I click on the link, Eudora will launch and a New Message window opens as it used to do in Safari.
I could really use some help here. Any ideas? Why should I have to use 3rd party browsers? -
Hi,
The Safari anchor problem is back! But now for using an anchor from the left to the right and visa versa (it is for a website design).
Apple solved the problem for using the anchor from the top to bottom and bottom to top but NOT from the left to the right and right to the left.
I test it in several browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, IE8, even in IE7 is it working ;-) but not The Safari of the Big Apple!!!
You can test it here: http://www.douma.biz/anchor_problem_safari/
I put a little script in it so it is going smooth to the right and left. It is also not working without the script, so that is not the problem.
You can test it in: Firefox, IE8, IE7, Chrome, Opera etc. But Safiri is it not working!
So can somebody help me? I tried the max-height, max-width, with and without overflow-x hidden, etc etc. but it is still not working in Safari.
Best regards,
StephanieIs it again a bug???

I have recently have to archive & install mac os x allover again. Now the safari do not work. although email works.
When I try to launch safari there is a "untitled" window (blank) and it froze.
helpLaunch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again.

Sending but not receiving from second email account
Hello,
I have recently added a new email address to an existing POP Mail Version 2.1 account that I have with Eircom. I have been successfully sending out emails from this new account and can send mail to it from another email account without messages bouncing back........yet I cannot receive any mail sent to this new account, only mail sent to my original email address....any ideas?....& does anyone know what happens to all those messages that I have never retreived?
many thanks DominoHi Domino, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'm only quarter Irish, so may not be all that much help!
What kind of account is it on both ends... POP, IMAP, WebMail?
Have you checked it with the Webmail?

Have just purchased Fac Time. it is downloaded and the icon appears on the dock. When I try to open it i get the message "An internal Face Time error has ocurred". Any suggrstions for a novice.
I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan. -
Desktop Outlook not sending from alternative email
I'm using Outlook.com. I have used Add a send-and-receive account (POP account) and added my own email address ([email protected]) and I am now able to receive all my emails to the outlook account and also I am able to send emails from the outlook account
as my private email address ([email protected]).
I added this outlook account to the desktop Outlook. It synced and showed me all my folders and I'm still perfectly receiving all emails, the problem is with sending the emails. Using the desktop app I can only send emails from the outlook domain ([email protected])
and it doesn't give me the option to send through my own domain like I can from the website.
What did I do wrong and What should I do to be able to send and receive from my own domain name, yet use Outlook's servers?
Thank YouHi,
You didn't do anything wrong but it's not possible to send as your private email address if you don't add it to Outlook, I'll try to explain.
The "send-and-receive account" feature in Outlook.com works through the 3rd-party's POP protocol, which means Outlook.com still sends/receives emails through the outgoing/incoming mail server of your private email address's
email provider, not through Outlook.com's server.
When setting up the Outlook.com account in Outlook, Outlook only looks for the information needed from the Outlook.com, it doesn't seek for anything from your private email address, since the "send-and-receive account" is an Outlook.com feature,
Outlook doesn't know about it.
As for receiving emails, Outlook.com has received the emails via the POP protocol and stored these emails on its own server, Outlook just synchronizes the emails to local, not directly from the POP server. This just explains why you can't send
emails but can receive emails from your private email address in Outlook.
In short, in your scenario if you want to send as your private email address, you will need to add it to Outlook.

The title asks the questions.
Found the solution to the problem. Probably not the best fix, but it works.
I have upgraded to Snow Leopard, but I don't think it changes anything...
There is ONLY 1 WAY to configure the AX to make it work as we expect.
You must check the option "Create a new WiFi network", even if what seems natural is to check "Connect to an existing network".
Then, name your network, like for instance "MatFromParisse Network", select the security level you want and password.
If required, you select "Connection via Ethernet", EVEN IF NO ETHERNET PLUG connected.
IPv4 configuration: "Via DHCP".
This all look like you are going straight in the wall and doesn't seem natural...
Then on the computer you are using iTunes on, select the network you just created (like "MatFromParisse Network"), instead of your usual network.
AirTunes will play, but it seems you no more access the internet. When you want to surf the internet again, switch back to your normal WiFi network. It seems that it's not possible to listen to music and surf at the same time.
Not professional, but it works.
I have spent 50 hours in total to make this work, the equivalent of 5 working days. I sell my working days 2,000€/day, so I value my lost time to 10,000€ to make this stupid thing work. I wish not to thank Apple for the complete lack of support (hotline doesn't even know what means error -6710). -
Why do I have to use safari to download attachments from my emails in mavericks?
I would like to download attachments from my email using a different internet browser. I like to use firefox but it seems if you recently upgraded to Mavericks. You may only download attachments with safari. Maybe firefox needs an update or apple really wants us to try the new safari (What I think) which is annoying to contantly learn new browsers because they have a new one released. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Firefox is working for me with Mavericks just as it was working with Mountain Lion. But I use POP mail and Thunderbird, not webmail. So I cannot test what you are trying to do, download attachments.

This started this last weekend. When I close the last tab instead of staying on Firefox it goes directly to my desktop. If I hit the Firefox icon again I get a message saying that Firefox is still running and that I should restart. But if I just hit open again it reopens or shows Firefox home page again. How do I stop this?
Set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing that window, you need to use "File > Close Window" or the close X on the title bar.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
You may need to wait a bit longer before restarting Firefox.

Mail will not send from designated email account
I have several emails set up in Mail. Everything has been working great until a couple days ago. I haven't changed anything, made any updates, or added any new accounts.
Let's call the two accounts A and B. My main account is A. When I am sending an email, A is my default. It is designated as such. When I send an email from account A, I double check in each email. It shows it is coming from that default account. However, my recipient is receiving the email from account B. I only know this because when they reply, their response shows up in account B's inbox. The weird thing? My sent email folder shows as being sent from the correct account-- account A.
I have re-installed the accounts, double-checked everything. The problem still exists.
This is the weirdest issue. Anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks so much for the help.Probably because it is using the server of account B to send from. When it goes through B's server, the server changes the sent address to that of B's email address. Either you have the wrong outgoing server set up for account A or there is a problem with it and it's switching to account B's server.
Open account preferences and highlight account A. Look at the SMTP server list and see which it shows. Select the correct one and check the box to use only that server for that account. If it fails in the future, you will get an alert that it failed and the option to choose another outgoing server.
Make sure all information for that server is correct and that it has the correct user name and password. Once you get that working, do the same for account B and make sure it has the correct outgoing server and check the box for that one also. -
