Why does safari close down when mac not in use

This just recently started in the past few days to a week. When my computer goes to sleep, safari shuts down. Any pages I have left open to come back and look at are gone. I know I can use history, but this has a never happened before.
Is safari corrupted?

      Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn those off and relaunch Safari again.
    Turn those on one by one and test.

  • Why does Safari close randomly when I'm on a website?

    it closed when I was trying to type this so I had to open it again
    When I'm on myspace it also closes. What can I do?

    sorry not an answer,
    but i think it might be a clue, every time i try to open a large website, say facebook, the regular site, i think it hogs the ram, and as a security setting or something like that, it shuts it off, as i have the same problem with facebook and eBuddy running

  • Why does Safari quit (on my Mac) when opening PDF?

    I'm on a Mac OSX 10.5.8 on Safari. Each time I first want to open a PDF, my Safari crashes. The note says, "Problem caused by Acrobat plug-in". After relaunching Safari I can open PDF files. Help?

    Hey thanks for responding so quickly! I've downloaded AppDelete
    Forgive my ignorance - what is Reader X app and how can I find it?

    Subject: Adobe Reader Why does Safari quit (on my Mac) when opening PDF?
    One of the things I have loved about Macs since switching in 2003 is:
    They tell you what went wrong when something does.
    The Acrobat plugin is corrupted.
    Solution:
    Download a trial of AppDelete. Install it and open it.
    Drag the Reader X app to the window.
    Delete everything it finds associated with Reader X and empty the trash. Re-download Reader X and re-install it.
    It will install new support and preference files and plugins. and things should go more smoothly.

  • Why does safari close constantly on ipad1?

    why does safari close constantly on ipad1

    Could be any one of many things.  Try these...
    Clearing Safari's history, cookies, cache
    Reset the iPad... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Shut down and restart the app...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the offending app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the app

  • Why does Safari close each night, overnight?

    Why does Safari close each night, overnight? I leave my iMac computer on overnight and Safari always stayed open until I closed it.  This closing nightly is new within the past two months. I have Safari version 7.1 and OSX 10.9.5. Is this a setting I can adjust? I am not interested in updating to Yosemite at this time for a solution.

    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
    After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

    When I use my macbook pro running lion 10.7.2 to play music through itunes it shuts down after about 2 minutes, is there anything I can set to keep the itunes open and playing when  not in use, this problem only started when I updated from snow loepard to lion.
    Thanks

    Hi Limnos
    I have tried that but it makes no difference at all, the only way I have found to get continues sound is to open and set a keynote presentation onto play and dimmed the screen using the function key and adjusting it manually so as not to kicker my screen, there must be an easier way than this.
    Thanks for trying

  • Why does Safari close suddenly?

    Safari closes suddenly during use on myiPad, and when I reopen it, it usually forgets where it was. It is happening more and more lately. Sometimes my Bejeweled ap does it too.

    Too uncheck else going on in another app maybe, something corrupt in the Safari cache, a corrupt bookmark .... Could be a number of different things causing Safari to crash. Try some basic troubleshooting,
    1. Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad.
    4. Sometimes deleting and reinstalling a troublesome app can fix app crashes. Any app - especially games - may contain data that you want to backup before you try deleting and reinstalling, so if you decide to delete the app, backup first.

  • Why does Safari shut down whenever i open facebook

    Hi, whenever i log onto Facebook, safari shuts down immediately. I don't know how to solve this problem and have already tried resetting Safari to no result. I get an error message but thats all. If anyone could tell me how to solve this problem that would be great!

    If you post a crash report, hopefully we can help you.
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash  information.
    Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply.
    If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
    One thing to try before you do that. Make sure your system software is up to date.
    Click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click:  Software Update ...

  • Why does Safari kicks me out while I%27m using it%3F

    While I'm using safari,messaging,mail,camera,and photos my iPad automatically kicks me out back to hone page.I can be using it barely like 5 minutes and it will kick me out..

    That's a lot of apps that are crashing on you. You can start off by clearing Safari, close all apps on the iPad, then reset the device and see how it behaves.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • TS1363 why does Itunes shut down when I purchase songs.also when trying to download updates it fails to update.I am using windows 8

    when I purchase songs Itunes shuts down.also when I try to update I tunes I keep getting an error message that says failed to download

    I appreciate your response but not sure now if it could have been anything in that answer because.......
    This problem appears to have gone away, not sure why but I have a possible theory. This is only a theory on my part as I'm not knowledgeable on the inner workings of Firefox. When I installed Firefox 18 it had all the automatic updating options turned on by default. By the time I turned them all off, I'm assuming it had started to download updates for all the plugins and addons, like java, quicktime etc. etc. etc. even though I hadn't personally initiated those downloads and updates. My theory is that once those downloads had started, even though I had turned off the automatic updating, it was going to continue downloading the updates that had started and was not going to stop until it had done so.
    I do not disable the anti-phishing and evil website detection stuff but I seriously doubt the updating for those items would have consisted of 89 megabytes of data but I could be wrong.
    So for now, I'll close this out and mark it solved and continue to monitor to see if I have any more "weirdness" go on.

  • Why does safari close every time I open a specific website

    When ever I open a specific website on safari,it closes and i have to reopen it.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
