Why does Safari go into limbo when I try to search for some things?

     Why does Safari go into limbo when I try to search for some things? I start to enter something in the search window. I get a drop down with suggestion I choose one and it pops up in my search window but just turns a color and does nothing!
    If I quit Safari and bring it back up, then enter the exact same line it's fine. This is just one of the many problems I've been
having with Safari since I installed Yosemite.
     Has anyone got any suggestions or is anyone having the same problem. Is there a way to maybe force my MacBook pro to reinstall Safari or possibly all of Yosemite. I seem to be having a lot of problems and judging by the responses I've received (That would be None) I must be the only one having any problem at all withYosemite. Not sure what to do.
     Any help or suggestions would be great

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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.
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 login 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 the test.

  • HT204266 Why does the App Store crash whenever I try to search for something?

    Whenever I try to search for an app, the App Store just crashes. This is very annoying.

    For other problems try:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https?

    Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https and port 37542 (https://localhost:37542/), but displays page properly when regular port is used (https://localhost/).
    Both links return the same json response and work properly in other browsers. Certificate for localhost service was installed to the storage.

    Problem solved.
    I added headers for localhost service response and page displayed normally.

  • Why does google start up but when i try to access a web page it shuts off

    why does google start up but when i try to access a web page it shuts off

    Not entirely sure what you mean, but if you are saying that the Safari screen is frozen/inactive then try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also 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.

  • Why does an unknown error occur when I try to save a document as a word file?

    why does an unknown error occur when I try to save a document as a Word file?

    Hi Judy,
    Deleting the Preferences files seems to be missing from your list.
    Quit AppleWorks,
    In the Finder, go to:
    username > Library > Preferences
    In the Preferences folder:
    Locate and Delete the File com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Locate and Open the Folder AppleWorks
    In the AppleWorks folder, delete the following files:
    AppleWorks 6 Assistants Cache
    AppleWorks 6 Preferences
    AppleWorks 6 Translators Cache
    Optional:
    AppleWorks Button Bars
    This file contains your Button Bar preferences. If you have made changes to the Button Bar, but hanve NO issues that can be traced to the Button Bar, it may be left in place.
    Regards,
    Barry

    Check for an update. Also if you're on 3G, try to doing it over WiFi to see if it works better because sometimes the network just can't handle it so the app crashes to protect itself.

  • Why does the App Store on my iPod kick me out when I try to search for an app?

    The App Store on my iPod touch keeps kicking me out when I try to search for an app or when I go to genius. I updated to ios6 today and this hasn't happened before. What can I do?

    I have the same problem on my iPod Touch 4 (IOS6).  My iPhone 4S (IOS6) works fine.  But the App Store crashes when I hit the Genius bar in App Store.  Apparently other folks are having this same problem.  I've rebooted, but that doesn't help. 

  • Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

    Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.
