Safari Will Not Work Even After Downloading New Version

Several months ago I experienced a brief power outage and since then Safari has not worked. At All. I have downloaded Safari twice directly from the Apple site and still no luck. THe Software Restore disks with my original OSX package do not seem to work. Any suggestions?
Been using Firefox but there are some things I prefer about Safari (bookmarks and they way they are handled).

I clicked on a link in my email this morning and safari opened and then it opened 73 other tabs (I think all my bookmarks). I closed it and when I reopened I get the title bar and beachball not a new page. Activity monitor shows it is using 100% cpu. If I open safari from a link in email it opens normally. I downloaded and installed the latest (same) version from apple, same story. Thank god firefox still works ok. Any ideas? James.

Googlemaps will not work since I downloaded latest version of Firefox. Any suggestions? I've followed all of the troubleshooting suggestions at Googlemaps already and no luck. Thanks.

From here it looks like you used Safari instead. Lots of choices that's what I like.
You did end Firefox and try to restart didn't you?
If you did then I would expect you have a problem with your Firewall, and would have had it before, does not affect IE, it does affect Firefox, I don't know about other browsers. See

HT1491 My password in iTunes will not work, even after changing it. It keeps showing a window to add PW. I do and it pops up again.

My PW in iTues will not work. Even after changing it. Window pops up and ask for PW. Over and over.

I would be worried about that - but it may turn out to be nothing.
Since you already changed your password, you're probably OK - but I recommend looking at your purchase history to see if there's any unauthorized purchases (use iTunes on your Mac or PC to go to the itunes store, then click your account in the upper-left or upper-right corner). If there are any new purchases that you didn't make, click the button to report problem (and if they happened after you reset your password, you should immediately change your password again).
I think sometimes when you change your password and verifiy your credit card info, it can "reset" the warnings - so it may actually have been you logging in to your own account that caused you to get the warning. But I'm not absolutely sure of that, so it's best to check your purchase history (and reset your password if necessary - but you already did that).
I also recommend turning on "two-step verification" (but Apple makes you wait a few days after changing your password to turn that on). With "two-step verification", Apple will send you a text message with a 4-digit code the 1st time you try to buy something from a new computer - since a hacker won't have your phone, they won't be able to continue (theoretically). After the 1st time, it goes back to mostly working normally (until the 1st time you try to purchase from another new computer, then you get another text message - so this alerts you to someone, somewhere else, trying to get into your account).

IPhone 4s back camera not working even after buying new iphone 4s

Back when the ios 6 updates were coming out in 2013 my iPhone 4 back camera stopped working, after trying way too many ways to reset the phone and finding others with this same issue I decided to start over I bought a new iPhone 4s so this one was better and 32gb instead of 16gb and it was 9 days later the back camera stopped working on my NEW iphone and still doesn't work to this day? What on earth should I do? How can this be fixed? I've tried hard reset, backing up the new phone, all the tricks I've tried on both phones do not work!!

A new phone has a warranty. So take it to an Apple store. If they can't fix it, they will replace the phone. Or do you mean: it stopped working after 9 days, but then you waited until the warranty ran out and then ask us?

Accidentally deleted x protect meta.plist and plug in not working even after downloading latest

Hi all
Need some help here. It started off like this - after upgrading to mavericks, i had a problem viewing some java stuff. Googled and read somewhere to delete the x protect meta.plist and thus, did so. After doing that, my youtube videos etc all couldnt work. So googled again and did whatever the rest suggested - download latest version of Java, uninstall java and reinstall again, install other versions of java etc etc. all didnt worked.
Someone just pointed out that I had deleted a very critical security file (x protect meta.plist) and might have more problems that I thought on my hand.
Im not very technical or IT saavy, so please kindly advise. Most of the problems surfaced after deleting that file. And right now, plug in for videos are still not working even though I have attempted various 'solutions' suggested in this forum (the not too technical ones) and java is still cranky. Pls advise. thanks!

Anyone able to help?
1) How did u solve the missing/out of date plugin?
- Have tried installing numberous times the latest version - doesnt work
- Tried uninstalling and then reinstalled earlier versions of java - doesnt work too
read somewhere to delete the xprotect meta plist - realised much later that piece of advice was for snow leopard OS and thus, did not work too. A forummer told me today this file is a critical security file and i should not have deleted it. WHat can I do now?
current situation:
still cant play youtube videos and other videos.
java on some sites still cant work

Safari will not open, even after reboot

I have been having all sorts of problems with my iMac since installing Mavericks (Gmail integration was freezing everything, Maps just didn't work).
The latest is that Safari just will not open, period. I have rebooted several times and even reinstalled OS X via the Cmd+R on reboot, nothing. It hangs upon opening and needs a Force Quit. When restarting again, it asks if you want to reopen windows and it makes no difference if you say Yes or No.
Any ideas on what to do?

Try deleting the com.apple.Safari.plist
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Software update notification (red circle) will not disappear even after download

Hi all, just a quick question. I updated my software last night after seeing the red, circular "1" update notification over the settings menu. Everything downloaded normally on both my ipad and iphone, but for some reason, the notification circle will not disappear on the iphone. I have synced it with my laptop, turned it off and on, and even reset all the phone's settings but that pesky red circle remains. I have tried just about everything I can think of outside of restoring it to factory settings and starting over. Honestly, I feel it should not come to this. To have to completely wipe my phone and start over because of something as simple as a software update is madness. I know this is a trivial thing to be so annoyed by but I use my phone often and anything out of the ordinary gets irritating quickly. Any advice or info would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

The quickest way to try to fix it is to download the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo and manually install the update. It should fill in any missing gaps. I suggest dragging & dropping the Mac App Store into the Trash before the installation to let the update install a fresh version of the MAS.

Safari will not open even after all steps

I tried to follow Mary's instructions. I uninstalled safari and removed application support folder. I downloaded safarisetup.exe and restarted my computer. I then unconnected from intrnet and all networks. When I launch safarisetup.exe it asks for safari installer safari.msi which is no where to be found. I need help. BTW - I downloaded install for safari only.
Please help.
Thanks,

... okay ...
I'd like to try an experiment. It's not a cure in itself for the issue but it might point us towards a cure.
Here's the experiment.
Head into your User accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights.
Log out of your usual user account, and log into the new user account. Now, try to launch Safari in the new user account. Does IE try to launch it, or does Safari open properly?
(Here's what I'm thinking ... in the Safari Develop menu, there's an option to open a web page with a different web browser (from inside Safari). I'm wondering if something ... ghastly ... has happened to your Safari preferences and settings files, resulting in that option being "stuck" on, so that IE always launches when you try to launch Safari. If that's what is causing the weird behavior in your usual user account, Safari should open properly in the new user account because there's a different set of Safari preferences and settings files in each different XP user account.)

Cd Drive not working even after a new drive installed.

Hello
About a month ago i had problems with my cd drive, it wouldn't burn a cd and every time i tried it sounded like the computer was going to take off! I took my computer to the genius' and it was supposedly fixed with a new disk drive put it. BUT i am still having the same problems! is there any way in which it may be a software issue as i am still having the same issues and they are actually getting worse!
Please Help!
Thank You!

You should go back to the genius who installed the new drive. The repair will be under warranty.

nokia n8 social loading feeds.
My wife and i have the same problem now, only last week she said my phone will not work on facebook the widget on main home screen will not load feeds at all, and the widget is now blank saying refresh all the time, so i linked the phone up to the computer and did a scan for new updates with nokia updater which you can download from nokia site.

nothing , facebook will load after a few pushes, and looks like its loading till it says loading feeds then it says the (wording unable to load news feeds)

Uninstall the social app and reboot your phone. Then go to software updates and reinstall from the offering given in the updates. I've uninstalled and reinstalled social twice and it has worked both times.

Safari will not work after sleep mode

After going into sleep mode safari will not work. Firefox works fine, mail is fine. Happened after upgrade to O S x . Browser is Safari 8. How do I fix this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it. I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps). So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens. What next?

How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
