The Safari icon has renamed itself Safia

When I run the mouse over the icons in the dock, the name of the Safari icon appears as 'safia'. It also appears as this when I look in the Applications Folder. What has happened? How do I change it back to Safari?

Click the application icon once so that it is highlighted. Wait a couple of seconds and click in the text area of the icon.
The area should change to an editable text box. You can rename their.
It is quite possible that in the course of working with your Mac that icon somehow became selected and some other text was inadvertently typed in.

  • The safari icon has vanished & is missing in settings

    Has anyone ever heard of this?  safari has just left my phone...

    You might have did some security thing. Go into settings then general then restrictions set it to no restrictions.
    Or if you held onto the icon you could have moved it to another page. You can't delete it.

  • My safari icon has vanished?

    Safari is no longer on my phone?  It is missing in settings also.  How do I retrieve it?  Do I have to reset my phone?

    Check if under the General tab in the settingsa app, if you have restrictions on. If so check if it turned off Safari, if so problem solved. But if not the first thing I would then try would be to hold the home and lock button down for about 20 seconds, allowing the phone to restart, and then see if the icon comes back

  • TS1398 my 3rd generation ipod touch recently lost wifi capabilities. I reset the network settings... this did not help.  I did a complete reset, I now no longer have the Safari icon on my itouch.  Has Apple removed wifi on older models to force new purcha

    I recently lost wifi capabilities on my 3rd generation ipod touch.  I reset the network which did nothing so I did a complete reset.  This actually removed the Safari icon off my itouch and still wifi is completely grayed-out.  Has Apple removed the wifi capabilities to force the purchase of new items?
    I find it completely disturbing that only recently has this become an issue for 3rd generation itouch users.
    Can someone please help as I am exceptionally frustrated

    This problem?
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    Reinstalling Mac OSX 10.5 (Archive and Install) may be the step.

  • Imac has renamed itself

    My 24" 2007 iMac has been hanging on shutdown, this started a couple of weeks ago, the icons disappear off screen, desktop wallpaper goes to the usual blue screen and there it stays.
    I also noticed that in Finder the computer name has changed from " John Doe's Imac " to " John Does Imac (2) ", and that I can no longer access my Time Capsule which just hangs trying to connect, with finder showing two instances of my sparsebundle.
    I have repaired permissions etc, and gone as far as I am able.
    Any one else had a similar situation?

    I think I have discovered how to fix the renaming issue. I got a clue from another thread that pinpoints the existence of PCs on a Mac network as being the source of the problem. Well, the network here had no PCs on it - but what it did show was that the two apparently identical servers are not identical after all - because one of them is a "PC Server", the other a "Mac". When Uisge Beatha writes "when I look at a finder window from the laptop it shows 2 Mac Pro's available, one is the original name and the other is the renamed name", this is because one of those servers is an INTERNET SHARING server set up as a "PC Server" (rather than using a Mac protocol). What you need to do is go to System Preferences -> Sharing and turn off "Internet Sharing". NB - In the network in the house here, this had to be done NOT on the iMac that kept renaming itself (it was already off), but on the OTHER iMac in the house, which was the one with Internet Sharing turned on. (In other words, turn them all off, unless one Mac is quite genuinely LENDING its internet connection to other devices - as opposed to the more usual situation where every device gets the internet from a router.)
    As I understand the principle, the Mac's "PC server" that provides Internet Sharing doesn't properly understand when another Mac on the network goes to sleep. Accordingly, when that second Mac wakes up again, the "PC server" on the first Mac (which never knew that the second Mac had gone to sleep in the first place) thinks that the second Mac is now a THIRD Mac, and therefore asks it to give itself a new (untaken) name.
    (P.S. Note too that whenever you go to turn ON the "Internet Sharing" option, your Mac will warn you that doing this might disrupt the network and you should check with your administrator.)
    Short version: leave internet sharing off unless you use it!

    The Youtube app was removed by Apple in iOS6.  You can use either the iPhone app from Youtube (free in the app store, but you've got to set it at 2x), or go to www.youtube.com in a Safari web browser.  You can also add the web page to your Home Screen using the share feature.  It will then operate just like an app.

  • Safari icon has a "?" on it

    The Safari icon in my dock has a grey "?" over it. Nothing happens when I click the icon to launch it. There is no Safari icon in my Applications folder.
    I'm using Firefox now but I want to get Safari back.

  • I can see the Safari icon on my iPhone screen, but the program doesn't run. I have checked the settings and it is on and not restricted. Can I delete the application and reinstall it?

    I can see the Safari icon on my iPhone screen, but the program doesn't run. I have checked the settings and it is on and not restricted. It seems that the application has simply stopped running. The little "searching" icon just spins and spins. Can I delete the application and reinstall it?

    You can't delete it. you will need to do a restore.

    Does your email work and do you have an alternative browser installed to test with? Also, do you have any anti-virus software installed? There have been a few reports on here where AV has interfered with internet connectivity.
    P.S. No need to type in caps as is considered to be shouting - I'm sure you wouldn't do that

  • When I open bookmarks the actual sites sometime do not show just the black screen with the safari icon while others show the actual site how can I see the actual content

    I use Safari Mt Lion and when I view Bookmarks, the entire list of bookmarks show uo but on the display portion only the black screen witht the Safari icon shows while other bookmarks show the actual photo of what that bookmark is so unless I click on the bookmark on the blank ones I can not see what it is, it is inconvient because I have hundreds of bookmarks and I can not remember what I was bookmarking it for unless I can see it

    Hi
    I understand  - sorry to have missed your point before now.
    Some sites don't display those previews in safari - secure pages (https) for one, and also sites that are redirected.
    Taking the example in your screenshot, the site http://fabulouslyartsy.blogspot.com/ actually redirects to http://www.fabulouslyartsy.com/ and Safari (rather annoyingly) doesn't 'follow' the redirection & show the appropriate preview. See the image below - the blank preview is for the blogspot address, and the one visible to the right is from going directly to the site.

    I did a force close on Safari and after rebooting my macbook pro, i no longer see the Safari icon on the dock.  How do i get i back?

    If you can't get dragging to work, just click on Safari from your Applications folder, and it should appear in the dock. Then you can right-click on the icon and PIN it permanently there.
