I bought a new mac today and installed osx again... even though it comes installed, from that point i now can not get into safari and it keeps unexpectedly quitting instantly. what should i do, did i already mess up the computer bad?
The problem started yesterday, the software does this about every half hour to an hour or so, a box pops up and says Safari quitted unexpectedly whiling using emergencyrecoverysystem.tmp, the problem is, this so called file does not even exist!! I used Easyfind trying to locate this file, but it's no where to be found. Did I get the virus or something?
My Safari keeps quitting unexpectedly (every 20 minutes or so), "while running" okto something .tmp plug-in. I have no idea what this plug-in is and cannot locate it on my computer to delete it.
Safari quitting just randomly, this has happened me this past 2/3 days, only I have no clue what it means, how to fix it. I've read about clam xav and flashback removal tool, but I am not sure if I am even doing the right thing?
Everytime I click on Safari the only thing that pops up is the report box stating that safari had quit unexpectedly. I've tried restarting it many times and still nothing. I've also made sure there arent any updates available, since everything is up to date.
Safari has been quitting unexpectedly every 30-45 minutes sighting a .NationalBiologicalCorp.png plug-in as the problem. It's been doing this for about a day and a half, and I've ran all the flashback trojan checks and it comes up with nothing.

My Safari keeps quitting unexpectedly and there is nothing I can attribute to the crashing. I have OS 10.5.8. I saw there is an update for 10.6 for flashback malware.
Recently, my Safari began shutting down and displaying the following error message: "Safari quit unexpectedly while using the .WindowsWallpaperChanger.tmp plug-in." It seems to happen when I'm streaming Pandora or Netflix. It happens after about 15 minutes. The "change picture" setting in the system preferences is unchecked. The tmp file is not found on my computer (MacBook Pro).
Safari keeps quitting on me due to a plugin called ".foxeasyvideo.png". When I search for the plugin in finder, I get no results. I look in my main and user library under "internet plugins" and nothing is in there under that name. How do I find and delete this plugin? Safari is quitting almost every time I use it.

I've just updated safari v5.1.7 and the clear history button does not reset the page. I use Ebay and when you go into an item the title goes to pink and usually clear history resets it to blue. But I've just done un update and now it's not working.
Can anyone please tell me how I can clear the cache on my iMac. When entering email address in Mail, old ones appear that I no longer use nor are they in Contacts.I had a One to One the other day, but the guy couldn't find out how to do it?!

Where the safari stores all data of cache? Safari vesrion 5.1.7. ? I buy a safari cache viewer app and in that app I need to set a path to the cache file... where it is?
I used Onyx to clear my system cache and user cache. When it was done, my iDisk icon was changed, any way I can restore this? The problem is that he saved this one as the original icon, so I can't delete it from the "get info" window.
I am working on some edits on my MacBook Pro and I need to clear up some space. I wanted to clear out the cache folder but wanted to be sure what to delete and what to keep before I go any further.
My new (January 2014) iMac was purchased with 16GB of RAM. My file cache keeps getting filled up. How to keep it cleared so it is not eating up my RAM?
I'm brand new to mac, just got a 15" mbp. On my PC I was constantly used to clearing cookies, temp files, history, etc under properties on IE, because for security reasons, and to keep viruses at bay. What does the "Empty Cache" feature do on Safari 4? Is that the same as clearing cookies?
Safari 5.0.5. MacOS 10.6.8..I am developping complex HTML+JavaScript. I notice that after a while (~30 mn) Safari does not clear its cache and re-uses old JS scripts. I have caches disabled in the development menu. Clearing cache or reinitialize Safari from the Safari menu is of no help.Only way is to delete the cache.db file in Libray/cache/com.apple.safari, exit Safari, empty trash, then relaunch !
My iMac 24 has been acting just a tiny bit sluggish of late, seeing the pinwheel a few times. All the reading I've gone through suggests two possibilities; overloaded cache or a HDD that's starting to go south. Hmmmm. OK, so exactly how do I get to the so-called "Library Caches" and which folders do I delete. Next, is there a good diagnostic tool that will give me layman's language results that a consumer/user can understand? And lastly, if the HDD is going south and my iMac is long past warranty... can I; (A) replace the HDD myself, and (B) can I upgrade the drive size (currently 500G) to a 1TB drive? My machine currently has 4 Gigs of RAM and I guess that's all it can handle right? Wish I could upgrade that!
I did clear my safari cache and saw a decent pickup in speed.
Was looking in the folder structure to know the location of the cache for Safari. All I could find was a folder named com.Apple.Safari at ~/Library/Caches. But this folder was empty and I could not find the corresponding cache.db file in it!
I have a number of persistent Cookies that show as Cache. Some Cookies are classed as cookie and others as Cache or Locally stored. How can I remove these Cookies that are classed as 'cache'. Deleting through Safari>Preferences>Private>Delete doesn't work. Deleting Safari folders in the >User>Home folder also has no effect.
