Safari wont start! I Need Help!!!!!!!

safari for my hp nc6000 wont work. it opens fine, but when i try to load a page, the blue bar fills half of the address box, and i see no pictures or error messages. I have let it sit for half an hour trying to loading a page, and NOTHING. I have IE 6 that i use, but i think safari is much better and i want it back!

Hi,
It might be a corrupt history file that is causing the problem. Try trashing this file:
Hard drive > Users > YourUsername > Library > Safari > History.plist
Internet Explorer on OS X has not been updated for several years now (Microsoft no longer develop it) so I would highly recommend obtaining an alternative browser as your backup - for example, [Firefox|www.mozilla.com], [Camino|www.caminobrowser.org], [Opera|www.opera.com] etc.
Also, you appear to be running OS X 10.5.1. The current version is 10.5.6 which includes many security and bug fixes and also a newer version of Safari. Run System Preferences > Software Update to see what OS updates are available for your machine.
Let us know how things go.

Safari wont start after i installed avi player any suggestions?

safari wont start after i installed a avi player any suggestions?

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Safari wont start after Leopard software update

After updating Leopard to 10.5.7, Safari wont start. I get an error message "Cant load Tastyapps AV plugin." or something to that effect.
What gives? anyone know?

I was using Videobox as a trial version (on the site you have the option of buying or trying for 30 days). After the 30 days it stopped working and I just moved it to the trash. I seems to have left something in Safari however that causes it to not want to start.
Using Firefox i was able to go back to the Videobox site and download and install the trial version again. I was then given the option of installing the Safari plug in which i did. I then went to the Videobox menu and clicked on uninstall Safari plugin. and then i just moved videobox to the trash again using AppCleaner.
So, you should be able to do the same thing. Just click on "download" instead of "buy" on the Videobox site. I'm sorry, I couldnt find the plugin files for manual deletion either.
Maybe you should start a new thread and someone will know how to do that.
Thanks!

Aperture wont start , it needs an update and is telling me to log onto a hotmail account that no longer exists so I am stuck .I would even re-purchase aperture just to get up and running again but I cant do that either - help, I need these photographs !

Aperture wont start when I booted up this morning . There is an upgrade that it needs to install and I am being directed to log onto a hotmail account that does not exist to install it . I cant get any sense out of hotmail and the account has been deleted because I have never used it .
I need to get into my files asap but I am just going around in circles - please help - anyone ?

APERTURE was bought via the Apple On Line Store .
I kew there is an update cause when I clicked on updates , there was an update that I needed cause Aperture was not running as it should ie . it would not load
I am running Mavericks OS.
My Apple ID is the same as my email account but I have discovered that I have two Apple ID accounts and I could not remember my password on the one that I used to download the original Aperture - I have since contacted Apple and they have merged the two so Ihave sorted it out that way .
When Aperture would not start , it wasn't asking me to log onto my email account, it was asking me for my Apple ID which was the same thing but it was my emergency ID and I could not remember the password . Being enturely thick where computers are concerned , I got very confused and remain confused because having bought a new MACBOOK AIR , I find it wont recognise my back up hard drive or my AIRPORT so I am not having a great time with MAC products to be honest - cant get my business back up and running after nearly three weeks so Apple and MAC are not my favourite words !
Anyway, I did get it sorted finally by ringing Apple but thanks for replying anyway - it turned out that Aperture was the very least of my problems when my hard drive failed installing Mavericks - wasnt Mavericks fault, my drives have to work hard and it just died .

My Imac HD wont start, I need to back up my files but dont know how to get in to do this now, help?

My Imac wont start, I have been in to the repair disk section and it came up with
"Disk Untility cant repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed up files"
How do I do this please, someone help. I need it explained as simply as possible.
Help

Are you saying you don't have a backup now? If not and the HD cannot be repaired then your only choice is expensive data recovery services. However I think when you find out the cost you will abandon it. Backup isn't something that should be done, it is something that must be done to protect your valuable data While I know this is not what you wanted to hear it's the truth. When you get your iMac repaired get an external HD and begin using Time Machine, it's built right into OS X. You can find out more about it in Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support. Next buy a second EHD and create another backup, when it comes to backup redundancy is extremely wise as backup can fail too. You can get a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and create a bootable clone. NEVER EVER use one EHD to create multiple backup schemes. This is a false economy and due to the relatively low prices of EHD's there is no excuse to not have redundant backup.
Good luck and I hope you are able to get some of your data back.

Safari wont start up properly

hello,
when i start safari the options at head of screen like..safari, edit,view,bookmarks,window,help are all in faint colour and i cannot click on them.also i am able to click and add in the google search space at all,i have to use utilities to restart safari alot.
This problem always happens when i start the computer up,otherwise its fine.
any suggestions?
thanx.

Hello,
"when i start safari the options at head of screen like..safari, edit,view,bookmarks,window,help are all in faint colour and i cannot click on them."
That is your Menu Bar. You need to check the boot disk for errors.
Shut down your Mac. Now, press the power button, hold down the C key, and insert the restore disk all at the same time. Keep holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo. An Installer window will open but DO NOT proceed with any installations, instead from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Disk Utility. In the DU window, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab and click: Verify If DU reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar select Utilities/Startup Disk and select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
Before you even launch Safari after rebooting, check your Menu Bar where you will see:
Finder File Edit View Go Window Help
Does it look like it should?

To boot from a CD, you depress/hold the "c" key at startup.

My ibook suddenly shut down and wont start up. please help!!!

hi, im new to macs so i need help! my ibook g3 700hmz was acting completly normal and i was using elmedia player on it, suddenly it went on hybernate while i was using it. i could not revive it no matter what i did and i could not shut it down so i took the battery out. now it will not start up, power on, or do anything at all. it makes no difference if i plug it into the charger, take battery out or anything. i tried to reset the PMU but had no success. i took out the ram and tried to start it but still nothing. someone sugested it could be the logic board but would it just suddenly die all of a sudden? another suggested the hard drive but it should still power on with a bad harddrive shouldnt it? could it be the dc board? the battery is low but when you press the button on it one light does come on and blinks for about 10 sec. i have no way of testing the charger but it worked fine the night before. any help would be apreciated.

It's really hard to tell whether the battery would have enough capacity to boot. Lack of bootability may be due to hard drive corruption, as well. Having the CDs (or DVD, as the case may be with Mac OS X 10.4, from which to boot could help you figure out whether that is a problem, although I would expect it to at least start up to a flashing question mark folder if it were a hard drive problem.
When a battery doesn't charge properly, the most likely problem is the battery.
The next-most common problem is the adapter. They do wear out, and it's entirely possible that this may be the cause of the problem.
Next in line for consideration is the power input (DC-in) board. This is the part of the iBook that houses the adapter port. Usually when it goes out, the adapter doesn't work at all. It won't charge the computer, and it won't run the computer. In this case, once the battery runs down, the only way the computer will run is with a battery that has been charged externally (by another iBook or an external battery charger).
The least frequent cause of a battery not charging is the logic board. The power management unit (PMU) can be permanently defective. If this is what is going on, you probably won’t see any charge to the battery at all, but, in my experience, the adapter does run the iBook (unlike when the DC-in board is at fault).
My best estimate in your case is that the battery died completely, since you were using it from the battery when this happened. My 800 MHz iBook came back from a logic board repair with a defective logic board that wouldn't allow me to use the battery at all. As soon as I unplugged from the adapter, the iBook died. It didn't just go to sleep, though, it died completely. So if you had a sudden failure of the logic board, I wouldn't expect it to just go to sleep. Suspect, in this order: battery, adapter, DC-in board, and, finally, the logic board. Because of the way this happened, unless you dropped it or spilled something on it, I would not expect it to be a logic board problem (but that's just my best assessment of the situation, based on my experience). If you want to have it analyzed by professionals, DT&T Services in Fremont, California may be your best bet. They do free diagnostics, but it would cost you shipping charges both ways in order to find out what's wrong with it for certain. They also offer the cheapest logic board repair I've found, often less than what you'd pay for a logic board without labor, and they have a six-month warranty on the part(s), but I'm not sure whether that six-month warranty includes labor. You'd need to ask.
Good luck.

T60 wont boot ~ I NEED HELP ~

H'ok.. So I was going to try to fix my friends T60 but I'm worried this is kinda over my head..
She came to me and said the OS was currupt and asked me to install a new os onto her laptop..
I was only able to install anything when the built in Wireless card was disabled..
Whenever you enable the wireless card, windows wont boot (all versions) nor will Windows installer boot..
Linux will boot though with the wireless card enabled.. but wont see a wireless network.
I've checked the hard drive and the ram.. both are ok.
I tried swapping the wireless card, but that didn't fix the problem..
Could it be the motherboard?
I need help! PLEASE WILL SOMEONE HELP!

Safari wont start!

safari and some other apps wont start when i click on them?

Andrew,
I would suggest two basic things to look for:
1. Duplicate fonts
Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
Do this one bulleted font at a time.
2. Did you repair permissions after reinstalling 10.3.9?
Did you use the Combo Update for 10.3.9?
If not, I would reapply the Combo update.

Yours would appear to be an original 2008 vintage model, which unlike the more recent MBA systems did not have a recovery partition.
There is no downloadable source of the MacOS reinstall disk that I know of (none that are legal at any rate) but you should be able to get a copy of the DVD from Apple. The user guide for this model (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/MacBook_Air_Users_Guide.pdf if you also do not have that) explains the procedure for MacOS reinstall using the original disk.
