Safari :: Started Crashing After An Update (Mar 2012)?
Mar 22, 2012
I'm confused as to why my Safari stopped working. It crashes as I launch it. The report I get is below.

Google Earth plugin in Safari started to keep crashing after I installed Adobe Flash Player 11.2. The plugin works fine in other browsers (Firefox, Opera, and Google Chrome).The same occurs at home,too.I use Mac Pro at work and iMac at home. Both are on OSX10.7.3, Lion.
My Flash Player is not disabled. What now? Downloaded latest from Adobe but doesn't work. Now what? Beta on MacUpdate but don't know if it updates the latest version. Anybody found another workaround?
i have a G4, serial number qt21106cl3v. i just installed os x 10.2.3. i cant get on fb or any site that uses flash. it says for me to download shockwave. ive tried and it wont install. i tried to download a new browser, like firefox, or another version of safari and i have no luck.
i cant decide whether its a virus or what. i just got the computer from a yard sale and its in excellent condition. i had to reinstall os x though cuz it had no os. any ideas?? you can find additional info by searching for specs through the serial. i have no prior knowledge of macs and am trying to learn quickly.
also, as in the heading, safari keeps crashing when i try to download any kind of new browser, and the auto updates arent working either.
I have a MacBook Pro running Tiger. After installing the most recent update, I find that Safari keeps crashing every time I open a new tab. I've tried cleaning out my plug ins and history.plist, but it hasn't helped.
For some reason my safari, address book, mail and software update keep crashing, l have re-installed them form my snow leopard disc and still same thing. Should l be considering a fresh install again or is there a way to fix this withouth this long process?
I had my mac over the past 2 years, I filled it up. It got to the point where I only had 12 gbs of memory left. I know it is not good to fill a comp up, but a lot of applications started crashing. I got a 500 gb internal drive thinking this would help, but apps keep crashing, or "not responding". When I "force quit" them and restart them they work but it is annoying to have to keep doing that.
When I attempt the update, I get the following error:"The Update "Java for OS X 2012-003" can't be installed.The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs." This is on a new Mac Mini (purchased in April 2012) that has been kept updated with all other software updates. I have tried to do this update several times over the last several days with the same error. The computer has been powered off/restarted several times, no effect.I have checked for the Flashback malware, not on my system.
I can't install neither Security Update 2012-003 nor Flashback Removal Update. The installer says the software cannot be installed on my machine. I am on a G5 (PPC) iMac running OSX 10.5.8. What's going wrong? By the way, automatic software update did not find any updates for me. I had to download the updates manually from Apple's software support page.
My MacBook Pro will not reboot after a failed software update that was attempted on 2/8/2012. I am not sure if other users have experienced similar issues. It will not go past the white screen.  I have powered down the computer few times already to no avail.
I am having problems with programs automatically shutting down when I try to open them. The problems are with ITunes and Skype. I know that Skype is an internet program, and this might be a problem, but I never had this happen before... EVER. iTunes only starts up half way, then it brings up an error box.
I had no problems until I updated in Feburary. Can I uninstall the last update and restore to the old one?
Today Safari started to crash when I go to http://legendas.tv/ I tried to reset Safari, even restarted my computer, but it happens again. I've tested a few other sites, but only this one gets me the problem. The Problem Report says Flash Player Plug-In could have caused the problem.
Safari 5.1.5 has suddenly started to crash immediately without launching.I have reinstalled it from Time Machine backup, repaired disk permissions without success.I have created another user account and it is still crashing so it must be a system wide issue. [code]
Info: Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Quad-Core Intel Xeon
When I open Safari 5.1.5 it opens the last page I was in previously, not my designated homepage, which I would prefer. I looked in Preferences to change it, but to no avail. Upgraded to Lion yesterday.
I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X, Version 10.6.8 and Safari has started running really slowly, all of a sudden. I've tried Firefox and Google Chrome, which run faster, but not much. Wi-Fi has been checked and is not the problem. I've emptied my cache and reset Safari. My disc usage is 15%, my system memory says that I have 2.35 GB of free space, and there are no "page outs". All of the programs, on my computer, that do not require internet access run fine. My firewall is off.
Several months ago, Safari started blanking. I'll have several tabs open and they'll all go white and when I click on one it reloads and I go to the next one and it's white. I go back to the first one and it is white. Sometimes I get a page reforce load message. I have cleared cache. I have restarted. It doesn't happen all the time but seems to happen in the evenings more than at other times. I have Qwest/Century Link high speed dsl. This is so totally irritating.
I have also noticed that when I click on a link that tries to play a youtube video or if I go to youtube, I have to wait awhile for the video to play - it starts and restarts several times before it actually works. I watched the activity monitor and the Safari Web content process will go from 11 up to around 140 while this is happening and when it drops back down is when the video will actually play with no problem. This can take up to several minutes. It's like a car spinning it's wheels trying to get traction.
In Safari whenever looking for a specific web site, other web sites on the background start to erupt and show up, which I never look for, which has become so annoying. I tried to change the Privacy settings, but all in vain.
Info: OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz, Time Capsule
I downloaded the macbook pro updates last week, installed them and then experienced kernal failure. My computer is back up and running fine now (after a rather lengthy fix) and I was wondering if the update is safe o install yet? Specifically, the iPhoto, iTunes, AirPort Utility and iMovie updates.
The main reason I am eager to attempt the update is because my iPhoto now no longer works, and I presume it is because the iPhoto update has not been installed.
I've recently updated to Mavericks and updated FCPx, however whenever I import footage to the timeline or move clips around, FCP just freezes. It sometimes says its loading a project and then doesn't allow me to do anything else or even quit. Im VERY VERY angry now because it is holding me up on deadlines. Ive been to the genius store, they came up with a solution however the it is still happening again!!! What do I do??? Â
What has been released to install as a security update? I seem to be clicking on one web link which takes me to another and nothing to actually install. Typical Apple. Really wish I hadn't bought this MacCrap Air - I do miss my PC.
I am running OS 10.5.8 on an iMac. There is no security update issued for this operating system - it only covers 10.6. Is my comuter vulnerable? Do I need to do anything?
A few days ago, I tried to install a minor update for NeoOffice (mac native OpenOffice) and the installer crashed. I figured no big deal, it's not an important update anyway. Today I tried to install the new Google Voice and Video program (similar to Skype) and the installer crashed again. I figured I had better to a software update because maybe I have some bad version of something. No luck, software update crashes too. I am running Leopard 10.5.8 Here's the reports from the three attempts.
My mac book pro keeps crashing as soon as I update the OS from 10.7 to 10.7.3. It happened thrice and now I am not even able to reinstall the OS. It keeps downloading the additional components and keep increasing the time from 30 mins to 1hr 40mins.
