Safari will not open to home page

I down loaded Lion and now Safari will not open to home page and preferences are set for home page?

Thanks, At least I know I am not the only one. I have had nothing but problems down loading Lion. First I did not have enough memory so I spent $128 for up grade to 4 GB. Then I down loaded Lion and it crushed my disc and spent another $181 to up grade to a T1. Then down loaded Lion to find out a lot of bugs with it. For what was to cost me $29.95 end up costing me $339.
You would think I would learn by now not to up grade at once. I am one of the dummies that spent $699 for the first iPhone for them too drop the price weeks later.
If I figure out answer I will post for you asap.

  • My wi-fi connection is enabled, however Safari is telling me the server stopped responding.  My laptop is working fine on the same wi-fi network.  I have reset the network settings and still Safari will not open any web pages.  Help!

    Ralph..........Did as you suggested and I am still getting the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding".  I am not able to connect with anything on the Internet.  Frustrating since I am able to connect with my laptop.  Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Firefox will not open to home page as directed in options and settings. Opening in safe mode makes no difference, either. Any ideas?

    Firefox will not open to home page as set in the settings. Even in safe mode, it still will not open to home page as directed. It seems to want to open to last set of tabs, even though that is not the way it was set in settings. It seems as though the settings do not have any impact on the way it behaves!!!

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • Safari will not load a home page after dload of Svc. Pack 3 for XP!!

    After an upgrade by Microsoft to Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Pro, Safari will not load a home page of any kind and I get a blank screen where I normally am able to get Yahoo's Web Page instead.
    Please help!!
    pbjsandwichgd in Ga.

    Probably a good idea to uninstall and then reinstall safari. I got service pack 3 and safari just disappeared, I have reinstalled it and had no problems (other than a 'SPELLING AND GRAMMAR ERROR' pop up as per my other post!
    Hope that helps.

  • I have an iPad 2.  Safari will not open any web pages.

    I have an iPad 2 which I have had for almost a year.  I have never had trouble with my WiFi before and now Safari is not working.  It will not open any web pages.  All of my apps (like Facebook and IMDB) that require an internet connection are working.  Safari on my iPhone is working with my WiFi.  I have tried resetting my WiFi and my iPad and that has not helped.  I took it to an Apple store and they told me nothing was wrong with it because Safari was working in their store.  When I brought it home it worked for a day and is now not working again.  Any ideas?

    From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    Press the red to delete the Safari app from this list.
    Press the home twice button when done.
    Restart Safari.

  • Safari does not open in home page.

    Safari does not open with the "home page" set in preferences.  Always opens with the last page viewed prior to quitting.

    I have the same problem (10.7.2., Safari 5.1.2 on an iMac). In System>Preferences>General >Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. (Uncheck). The box is unchecked. In Safari>Preferences>General I have the following settings:
    New windows open with: Same page
    New tabs open with: Same page
    Homepage: http://www.nytimes.com/
    Whenever I open Safari I get a blank page (and I have to click on the Home Page icon). This has never happened in my Power PC with Lion (now sadly in computer heaven) nor my MacBook with Snow Leopard. Closing windows individually or closing  Safari itself doesn't matter. Re-opening Safari gets me a blank page. Any advice?

  • Have lost return button and will not open to home page even though it is set to

    Return button no longer works and home page will not open even though it is set to do so. I"ve reinstalled firefox, but this didn't help
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hello Rick.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
    If you need to restore your interface, you can go into ''View > Toolbars > Customize... > Restore default set''.

  • Safari will not load the home page when I open it. It defaults to last open window. I set preferences to go to home page but Safari decides otherwise.

    Mac Mini - Yosemite 10.10.1 The home page in 'Safari Preferences > General > Home Page' will not load when I start the computer (automatic log-in). Safari is ticked to open at log-in. It opens with the last previous web page displayed prior to shutting down the computer.
    I have looked in 'System Preferences' > General but did not find anything relevant. Ditto 'Security' and 'Privacy'

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Safari 6.1 will not open with home page

    I can't find a sensible setting in Safari 6.1 for opening up and opening new windows.
    I really need the product to open onto the "home page", and open new windows with the "same page".
    Can I downgrade?

    >>...open onto the "home page", and open new windows with the "same page".
    There aren't options to get that - as you've probably seen, 'Safari opens with' has only two choices, & if you choose 'A new window' there, you'll get whatever is set for 'New windows open with'.
    How can I downgrade Safari 6.1 to 6.0.5?: Apple Support Communities

  • Firefox will not open Google Home page at start up

    When I start up Firefox browser my Google home page does not appear.

    Have you checked to ensure Google is still set as the home page? See [[how to set the home page]] for details.
    On the same part of the preferences dialog that you set the home page, make sure the setting "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my home page".

  • Safari does not open to home page or last page visited

    When I open Safari, it does not load to my homepage, or to my last visited page.  Instead, it loads to a page, which I visited a number of days ago.  Does anybody have any ideas why this may be?

    Ok...
    Try emptying the Safari cache.  Command + Option + E or from the Safari menu bar. (A "Reset" does not empty the cache).
    Also, check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    And try restarting your Mac.
    If nothing helped, quit Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For LIon:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

  • Safari will not open any web pages

    Was working fine; no system changes. Wi-fi, network, working fine on all other devices.

    This is for OS7 ( not Mountain Lion)
    The last version of OS7 was obsoleted in July 1997. Can you confirm that you mean OS 10.7?
    Also, are you running any anti-virus software? Any "I'll clean up your Mac" software? Both cause big problems for Safari.

  • Firefox will not load to home page. Loads to last page. Tried ALL fixes. Ready to go to chrome unless you can fix.

    Firefox will not open to home page. I have read all the articles, and tried all the fixes. Safe mode, complete reinstall...everything. Firefox has way to many of these issues. Can you help?

    First step in troubleshooting - what have you tried ("all the fixes" isn't enough information)
    Start with the basics. For example, have you done this:
    # Click: Menu > Options > General
    # Set "When Firefox starts:" to "Show my home page"
    # Set "Home Page" to whatever website you want Firefox to load when it starts.
    # Click OK
    See also: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page
    Does this work?
    If no, have you tried this? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save You may simply need to reset Firefox.

  • Safari will not open home page and other glitches since upgrade

    Strange stuff happening since I did the Combo Upgrade 10.4.11. Safari will not open to my home page. I have used preferences to set the home page but closing Safari and restarting still opens a blank page with no URL in the address box. I also noticed that several pages I have opened that have log in fields don't allow tabbing to the next field. I have checked all the preferences and every thing seems right. I have trashed Safari and its preference folder, downloaded the upgrade and used Pacifist to reinstall Safari. I used Disk Utility to repair permissions. Still I can't can't get a home page to load. Before the reinstall, I synched with .Mac to save my bookmarks and synched again afterwards to bring them into the fresh install of Safari. What should I do now?

    Here is a culmination of my searching and efforts that fixed this issue for me. I find it necessary to run Disk Utility more frequently.
    1) Trash Safari preferences in all user accounts:
    Computer/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    2) Empty trash
    3) Move files from Input manager to desktop
    /Users/YourUsername/Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    4) Restart computer
    5) Close Safari if automatically opens on restart
    6) Open disk utility: Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
    7) Verify permissions
    8) Repair permissions
    9) Reopen Safari
    10) Return Input Manager files from Step 3, ONE FILE AT A TIME from Desktop to Input Manager Folder and Restart between moves.
