Intel Mac :: Safari Won't Open After Switching To OS X Lion
May 7, 2012
I installed OSX Lion on my Mac Intel but now Safari wont open - instant shut down. What do I do?, I installed OSX Lion but now Safari wont open - instant shut down. What do I do?
I just upgraded my operating system and added more memory to my imac. Word and Excel cannot be used with Lion. How do I delete these from my computer and is there a way to make sure I am optimizing the space on the hard drive?
My iMac is too old to upgrade to Lion, so when I switch from MobileMe to iCloud, I understand that I will no longer be able to use my desktop mail app to retrieve mail, and my calendars and contacts will no longer be in sync with my iPad and iPhone. So when I switch over to iCoud, is there any work-around for this so that I can continue to use the desktop mail app on my iMac or otherwise get mail on my desktop, and keep my mail, calendars and contacts synced between my iMac, iPad and iPhone?
Info: MacBook, iMac, iPhone, eMac, Mac OS X (10.5.2)
Moved files from old iMac (2006) to new iMac (bought yesterday) that was running itunes music off of an external hard drive. Move seemed successful, and I re-attached external hard drive but Itunes would not open, saying itunes was a "newer version" than what was on new iMac already. Did software update and it did not finish the update, saying try again. Second time, it completed update, updating itunes and then the new iMac was able to read the external hard drive fine. I tested a few songs and itunes found them and played them fine, all artwork ok, etc.Â
So, then I tried to open Safari and it told me it could not run this version of Safari on the new iMac OSX. Tried the update software trick again, but it still will not open, same message. Under Safari preferences, it shows two default Safari versions, 5.0.4 i thinkg and 5.1.1 (i think) [I am at work now]. I can get around this and get to the internet fine by double clicking my Amazon MP3 icon, which asks if i want to quit and go to website to update, where i am then on amazon.com and have all my bookmarks etc listed on web browser just like before and it works fine...So how can i get icon or safari to open from dock or desktop? I have not tried to download new safari from apple website yet to see if that works to overwrite the others...Am i missing something simple? Can i just delete safari in applications and re-download it or should i run disk utility or ?
When I click on any bookmark or bookmark folder, I first get a black screen with what looks like the Safari symbol. This happened just a couple days ago. When I click on the black screen I get a full page at a time. I used to be able to open up bookmarks & folders directly to Safari. How do I return to the normal, usual way of using bookmarks & bookmark folders?
Safari keeps failing to open web pages. Software is up to date, cache has been emptied and reset, and the webpage works on other devices. What is going on?
Web pages open super slow (not just in Safari) on my imac OSX 10.6.8. I use a router and all other Apple devices work fine. Apple store says it's not my hardware. Comcast thinks it's not the DNS.
Trying to view a pdf in a government website using safari. I get a black screen if I switch and use firefox as the web browser I get a white screen. I have no problems viewing the page on a P.C. machine it works fine.
suddenly, I cannot open safari either from the apps folder or the toolbar. No response whatso ever. Been working ok until this morning. can't even get to the prefs to work anything out..
I have noticed more and more unwanted ads popping up from time to time, I can't hardly do anything! As soon as I start a search on Safari all these ads start coming.
After upgrading to Lion I see a check box at shutdown to refrain from opening web pages currently open in Safari. I did that, unchecked it, but they still open. How odd they would make this a opt out scenario - is there a way to make this permanent? I liked the old way where you could go into History and do it during a new session.
Ever since upgrading to Lion, when I log into LogMeIn each computer I log into opens a new window. I have set the Safari prefs to open new windows as tabs, and it works for everything except LogMeIn. They claim it's a Lion issue. It also does this on Firefox.
I am unable to open .pdf files in my Safari browser or in my Firefox browser. Firefox crashes completely. Safari just gives me a blank page. I'm unable to click on .pdf files online and view them.
