Default launch Safari, wolfnknite
An application named Wolfnknite appeared and looks like malicious software.
I removed the app, but at the launch of Safari, the screen is suspect. For example, hovering over 'A way' shown 'open www.wolfnknite.com in a new tab '.
Help!
Hello Mr. Quorange,
There may be other parts of the application, that you still need to delete. I recently added this brand of adware to EtreCheck. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etrecheck.com, run it and paste the results here. EtreCheck is perfectly safe to run, don't request your password to install and is signed with my developer Apple ID.
The EtreCheck report should have listed adware. You can then removed to the EtreCheck. You may still need to reset your home page in Safari.
WARNING: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

I don't think that this should be rocket science, but for the life of me I can't understand how to return to the default Home screen without uninstalling the other launcher (s). I know there are apps where you can choose the one you want to use, I just wanted to check something on the home Launcher.
Found, in my case, I had put Launcher Pro as my default Launcher
Menu > Applications > manage Applications > Launcher Pro > clear default values
How, when you press on the button Home will display the list of installed launchers and you can choose the one you want to use.

BTW, I don't really recommend autopilot set on day of utilities they will all eventually
fail and translated generally with spectacular (BAD). Better to update the drivers manually direct
the machine system, motherboard manufacturer and the sites of the other OEM manufacturers.Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

I won't be my Firefox default browser, but I don't want to use it for certain things. When I use it, if there is a link on a web page, it does not respect my choice of default browser which is Safari (Mac). It always opens the link in Firefox. Makes me not want to use it at all. Can I fix?
Hello, see if the Open with the module is useful.

Small screenshot here so you guys see this with me better:
I accidentally deleted the "Bing" favorite coming in safari by default. I would like to know if resetting default Safari would bring him back and if so, please tell me how to do this.
Thanks a lot to the guys in the forum who help others, it means a lot and I really thank you for that. I'll look at the post for the next 20 minutes so as soon as I get a response I'll mark it as resolved fairly quickly.
Thanks again!
You can just add it yourself back. Visit Bing: https://www.bing.comand then click on the share (square with the arrow coming out of it) icon. Choose the option to add a bookmark, and choose Add to Favorites. -AJ

Font size by default in Safari
Is there a way to define the font size so that when you open a new page, the default value is no huge guy who suggests that you go blind? I'm kind of having to 'Order' - at the level of the type to a readable size, everytime I open a new page. Thank you
No, there is nothing in the preferences of Safari I see which allows to do. You can set the default font to be not less than a certain value and you can do this in the Advanced tab, but which would prevent all sites with great rendering, any small font. It wouldn't change the already large fonts and make them smaller.
If this is the kind of functionality in a browser, I suggest to download Firefox. You can set the size and font of police at all what you want, which are two things you can't do in Safari.

Safari crashes when launching. Immediately.
Safari 9.1.2
Worked without problems for years. I have not installed the new extensions.
• Tried a reboot
• Attempted to launch Safari now SHIFT with the dock icon
• Cannot keep Safari open long enough to open any menu options or preferences
• There is no open pages.
• I deleted the plist file
• I deleted the cache/history
When it began on Friday, it wasn't quite an immediate fall. I received error messages from a site on "a slow loading flash animation" and "tips" online suggest that I have to uninstall and reinstall Flash. What I did. And, since then, accidents are virtually instantaneous at the launch of the app.
Ridiculous that I can't delete and reinstall only Safari, and I prefer not having to reinstall the entire operating system.
Other options?

Safari launches at startup in other languages
I'm running OS X 10.11.4 on a MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, end 2013) - 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7; 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Intel Pro Iris 1536 MB
This just started happening. Whenever I start Safari starts with this page open. I have no idea what language it is, assuming it isn't just garble, much less talk about anything whatsoever. I see the word 'Pakistan' a couple of times. I guess this can't be good. I know it's annoying. I have no idea why Safari starts up by itself, much less, why he opens this page. Oh, and I certainly have not clicked this link. I did nothing with the language preferences and I've never been far away nor any link to Pakistan. How do I stop this? Thank you.
Google translate says it's in the Malay language and any administrator password.
May be a scam.
in the menu bar and choose "force quit."
Select Safari and click "exit of strength at the bottom of the window to Force Quit.
Hold down the SHIFT key and launch Safari.
If this does not help, run EtreCheck and post the report here.
Download, open the download folder, click on it to open it, select "Open" in the dialog box to execute.

Launch of Safari gives me an alert cleaner.me
Here seasoned Mac user...
Spending all day setting up my new iMac and have to go to a lot of sites to update some of my apps etc. and suddenly a popup came who said:
'To'http://apple.com-cleaner.me'.
F VIRUS
The last visited Web site infected your Mac with a virus.
Press OK to start the repair process"
I know certainly DO NOT press OK, well, this happened to me before the way back a few years ago. But at the time, when CPU has been slower to launch, I could launch Safari and quickly knock the preferences, tab and enter there and erase all cookies, cache, etc.. But this iMac is way to fast to do this. The minute I start Safari... I mean BAMMM this alert appears. No time to go to the prefs.
So my question is... is there a backdoor to remove cache & cookies, another way OR another solution for this problem?
In fact, I'm going to write this in FireFox.
When you reopen Safari, hold down the SHIFT key when you click open to prevent display of the previous screens. Then you can go in setting and erase the news Web site and Cookies.
See you soon,.

Cannot open Web pages in Safari of Mail
Hello!
Lately when I try to open a link from an email someone sent me it does not work with Safari.
I tried to look for a solution, but I am not able to find it.
Can someone help me?
Thank you!
Ana
Hello..
Open Safari and then go to the Safari menu, click Safari > Preferences , and then select the general tab.
Select Safari from the default web browser: popup menu
Quit and then restart Safari if it recognizes that change.
The next time that you click a link in an email it should automatically launch Safari.

Just upgraded to El Capitan and Safari will not use Google
"I set Google as my preferred search engine under the ' Preferences > > Search" tab, but whenever I type something in the address bar it still use Yahoo!
Can anyone offer advice on removing Yahoo! as the default search engine?
Thank you.
You certainly have a form of malware/adware installed that replaces your preferences whenever you launch Safari.
Quit the Apple Safari > force quit menu. Relaunch Safari since the Dock icon while holding the SHIFT key. Clear your Safari history and Web data.

First backup your drive hard as soon as POSSIBLE. You may well have a defect of the hard drives.

EFI (disk1s1) < not mounted >: 210 MB

Then start in the recovery volume (start with the command + R keys), select disk utility and run the feature of first aid on the disks. If you receive a message that x number of errors were repaired, rerun the first aid until there is no errors detected and repaired. Restarts normally and restart Etrecheck.
Regardless of the results of the second report by no. means that you should not have Apple test a free diagnosis of your Mac.
Thirdly, launch Safari with the SHIFT key is pressed and see if there is an improvement in the performance of Safari.

I currently use version 3.6.24 Firefox on my PPC mac with 10.4.11 system. I use Firefox for many years without any problems. I received yesterday and on my screen to alert that there is a new update of Firefox available at the facility. I clicked on OK and the update started. When it's over, I checked and it's the same version, 3.6.24, I used and apparently nothing has changed until I went to my eBay site. Once on my site, I signed in and went to manage my Articles page. The page was different because normally it shows all the items, I have for sale and at the top of the list of points of sale are the three items to check and look at my listings, which I look at you, my profile and my alerts. When you click on one of them you are normally taken to another page. When I went there after apparent installation of the updated release of Firefox page showed my ads in a single column, my profile in another column and third column for my alerts all on one page. This is not normal. I got out and went to my home page which is http://www.rr.com/. Now it was different. Parts of the site have disappeared, the sections with the weather, news, and reviews. I thought it might be the site and then I launched Safari and went to the same page and it is normal. This morning when I started Firefox it shows my home page as screwed up as yesterday. Safari has shown as it should look like. I then started SeaMonkey and it showed the page as it should look like. I really like Firefox and I'd like to get it working again as it should. Would appreciate any suggestions. My email address is [email protected]

If it's not Extensions or third party add ons, try the troubleshooting Safari .plist file:
