Why does quit safari stay grey

why can't i quit safari

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • TS3676 Why does MacBookPro screen stay grey while gear disc keeps spinning endlessly?

    MacBook Pro would not shut down using the shut down mode. Had to do it manually. When I tried to boot it up again, the screen stays grey with Apple icon displyed while gear disc keeps spinning endlessly. Have had to shut it down manually and then tried to boot it up again to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello! Try running fsck. It runs the same repair routine that disk utility does. I do recommend that you have a set of install disks or at least a bootable clone of your hard drive. If fsck doesn't repair the disk then disk utility on the install disc probably wouldn't either. The next alternative is DiskWarrior. Tom
    fsck
    Startup holding down the apple key AND the "S" key
    You'll start up into a command line interface.. it'll look strange but just hang in there.
    When it's done booting up, you should see something that looks like this:
    localhost:/ root#
    at this point, type in 'fsck -f" please note the space before the dash, and of course, ignore the quote marks, then hit return
    You computer will no go thru some low level checks on your HD. Most likely you'll get a list of a few files that have problems and this procedure will fix them.
    This should take about 2 or 3 mins, so don't be in a rush.
    When the line says "VOLUME WAS MODIFIED", this means that changes were made.
    At this point you should be back at the same
    localhost:/ root# prompt.
    run fsck -f again.
    Wait for it to finish.
    if you continue to get the "Volume was modified" message,
    continue to run fsck -f until you'll get a prompt that says
    The Volume(your HD) appears to be ok,
    again with the localhost:/ root# prompt.
    AT this point, type reboot, hit enter and your computer will start up normally.

    Why does the Safari message "This is a non-secure form" pop everytime I go into yahoo mail?  If I don't press the send option my whole computer freezes.

    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

  • HT3737 Why does the Safari toolbar disappear when the cursor is not on it ?

    Why does the Safari tool bar disappear when the cursor is not pointed to it?
    How can I fix it ,Please.

    It sounds like Safari is displaying in 'full-screen'. To reveal the tool bar move the mouse pointer to the top right-hand corner of the screen. You should see two blue arrows, click on those and it should take it out of full-screen mode and leave the menu bar, tool bar, etc. permanently on view.

  • Why does my Safari shut down when loading a page?

    Why does my Safari shut down when I'm trying to load a page?

    Is this for a Mac? You posted in the Beta for Windows section, you might want to try the Beta for Mac pages instead and see if anyone there know a good fix. Is this just with Adobe's PDF reader, or with Preview too? A workaround could simply be switching to a different reader, if you simply cannot find what causes the crashes. A clean reinstall might do the trick, if you haven't done so already.
    If this is on Windows than I would recommend downloading the PDF plugin from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html
