• Preferences of Safari does not work

  Hello

  I have read several replies to other posts on how to set a homepage in Safari.  I have Safari 9.0.1.     iOS El Capitan 10.11.1

  Safari-Preferences translates no response at all.  The Preferences dialog box does not come to the top.  Nothing.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  OS X update. To find out how to do this please read the update OS X and Mac apps - Apple Support.

  That must be restored all missing elements of an operating system, including those required by Safari. The reason for their disappearance must always be addressed.

• Safari does not not on OS Sierra

  Safari has stopped working shortly after I installed OS Sierra. Safari does not, open the app store / updates will be not open. I can not uninstall and reinstall Safari and I can't install updates because the app store does not open (even after changing the default browser).

  Appear to interfere with some other applications on the internet as well.

  How can I fix?

  Deselect if selected proxy.

  System Preferences > network > advanced > proxies tab

  Unlock the lock if you have to.

  Under "Select the Protocol", uncheck all box if marked cheque.

  Click 'OK' and then 'apply '.

• Safari 10 not not automatically opening PDF files

  Yes, I have the box checked in the preferences to automatically open reliable files after downloading. I have tried many different websites PDF files now, and none of them does not open automatically.

  I tried to delete the preferences of Safari, but that did not help.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  For security reasons, I don't have Safari 10: preferences: general Panel: Open Safe files after downloading verified. It has nothing to do with the opening of PDF documents in the browser, as it is the function of the OS X Internet plugin default to this end, or the option in Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF plug-in.

  Plug-in Adobe Reader is disabled by default in the 10 Safari: preferences: Security Panel: Internet Plug-ins. You will need to activate it via the plugin settings - if you use it, but with a WARNING WARNING like Safari 10 notes that there are security issues that you can, or perhaps are not willing to accept.

  With Adobe Reader Plug - in disabled Internet, 10 Safari automatically opens a PDF Web site in the browser. There are no preferences special setting to enable this default behavior.

• Safari will not fill my mail.

  Safari will not fill my mail. I have OS X 10.11.3.

  Keep your OS X software update can help questions such as mail. Update your Mac 10.11.4.

  Click on your Apple  top left of your screen.

  In the drop-down menu, click on about this Mac

  Make sure the " view " tab is selected, and then click software update.

  Your Mac may restart several times during the update process. That's ok.

  Then try to access your mail on Safari.

  If it still does not, in your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab, then click: delete all data from the Web site.

  Then quit and relaunch Safari and try again your mail.

• Chrome and Safari does not connect

  For some reason when I go to chrome it will not load certain websites. Sites that I used to go in a field such as Facebook, YouTube, twitter, Wikipedia etc work but if I tried to go through a google search for images to putlocker or bbc news, for example, then it doesn't let me, and in the lower left of the screen, it just says connection. After a few minutes, he then said the site could not be reached.

  Custom Safari does not load these pages either.

  Ive ran McAfee for a full scan twice now and it has not detected a virus or threat.

  Ive also uninstalled and reinstalled chrome, but it did nothing.

  No one knows what happened or how to fix it?

  Thank you

  additional information only if you need:

  MacBook pro (retina, mid-2015)

  the processor is Intel core i7 to 2.2 ghz

  and it's OS X Yosemite bersion 10.10.5

  A

  Please uninstall the McAfee product in accordance with these instructions.

  Note that if you have already tried to uninstall the software, you may need to reinstall in order to finish the job. If you have a different version of the product, the steps may be different.

  Back up all data before making any changes. Never install any product "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" again.

  B

  You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

  Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

  VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming model.

  1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. The files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change within about a minute, so they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

  Search in the folder with the name of all these forms:

  com.something.daemon.plist

  com.something.Helper.plist

  com.something .net - preferences.plist

  Here, something is a string, which may be different in each instance of VSearch random meaningless. So far it has always been an alphanumeric string without punctuation signs, such as "disbalance" or "thunderbearer."

  You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

  There may be one or more files with the name of this form:

  com.somethingelseUpd.plist

  where George can be an empty string of sense that something different. Yet once, there may be more than one file of this type, with different values of Gisele.

  Here is a typical example of an infection VSearch:

  com.disbalance .net - preferences.plist

  com.thunderbearerUpd.plist

  You will have files with similar names, but probably not identical to these.

  If you feel confident that you have identified the files above, drag only the files - nothing - to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password. Close the Finder window.

  2. open this folder as in step 1:

  /Library/LaunchAgents

  Move to the trash all the files with the name of the form

  com.something.agent.plist

  where something is one of the strings that you found in step 1. There may be not all of these files.

  3. If you have whatever it is moved to the trash in step 1 and step 2, restart the computer and empty the trash.

  Do not remove the folder 'LaunchAgents' or "LaunchDaemons", or anything else inside of one or the other, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. Records are a normal part of Mac OS X. The terms "agent" and "demon" is a reference to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

  4 reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

  ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

  and click on

  Set on the current Page

  The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

  5. If you do not find the files or you are not sure about the identification, after what you have found.

  If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.

  6. the penalty may have started when you have downloaded and run an application called 'MPlayerX' or "PDF Pronto." If there is an element with a name in the Applications folder, delete it.

  This Trojan horse is often found on the illegal Web sites that traffic in content such as movies pirated. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit these Web sites and follow the instructions to install the software, you can expect more of the same and worse, to follow. Never install software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or which has been downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.

  In the aspect of security & confidentiality of system preferences, select the general tab. The marked anywhere radio button should not be selected. If this is the case, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, and then select an other keys. After that, do not ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown Director.

  Then, still in system preferences, open the pane of the App Store or software update and check the box marked

  Install the system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later version)

  or

  Automatically download the updates (OS X 10.9 or earlier version)

  If it is not already done.

• Safari does not remember previous page n gets all white.

  Safari does not remember previous page n gets all white. For example, if I visit Facebook and you want to brush on the mouse on the previous page, I come to my homepage (google). Can click on a photo in Facebook, then click down, cause the page is all white after that. This happens in many sites like Ebay, etc. I've been looking for others this problem now, but cannot find someone with the same problem. So what to do?

  Go step by step and test.

  1 empty Caches

  Safari > Preferences > advanced

  Tick the box "Show develop menu in menu bar."

  Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.

  Click on develop and select 'Empty cache' in the menu dropdown.

  2 Delete Cookies

  Safari > Preferences > privacy > Cookies and other data from the website:

  Click on the button "Details".

  Delete all cookies except those from Apple, your internet service provider and the banks.

  3 Disable Extensions and test them.

  Safari > Preferences > Extensions

  Uncheck 'Enable the Extension' and test.

  Enable the Extensions one by one and test.

  To uninstall any extension, select it and click the "Uninstall" button

  4. launch Safari, hold down the SHIFT key.

  I am so angry with my computer because I paid 1.5 k for a computer that is not able to make the task easier for a modern computer. Even a €50 computer has embedded software that can handle a resume from sleep without having to restart the entire software... Imagine if you had to do it on your iPhone, you will eventually get a refund within a week or less because it is not normal in 2015 to have this kind of problem. I hope that I have no problem with safari on my 6s and I don't plan to spend my browser because Safari is part of the Apple ecosystem and have the perfect sync and battery management.

  So I need to get this fixed a problem and I really need your help because a lot of people had this problem on the internet, but NEVER seen someone who explained how it happened is the correction of a problem. My Mac running the latest version of the software which is 11.2 starting today.

  Here is a video of the problem:

• Should I install Adobe Flash v.10 required by Pandora on Safari, but not on Chrome?

  I listened to Pandora Internet radio every day on my iMac with Safari. But today, I can't even connect, because the site requires that I have install ' Adobe Flash v.10 or later. "

  Then I open Google Chrome and tried Pandora, and it worked very well, automatically connect me as usual.

  Is there a virus trying to get into my iMac by Pandora in Safari? I'd be worried?

  Please notify.

  Thank you.

  No, you do not have a problem. I went directly to the site of Pandora, and he says the same thing.

  

  If you have updates Safari to version 10, that is why the message. It's a deliberate safety Safari change. Even if I already have the latest version of Flash installed, Pandora is blocked from knowing this, until I click on the link. I then clicked once to allow him to use the Flash and then the site. However, then it seems to get stuck in a loop do not know Flash is already installed and active and told me to get and install Flash again.

  The link also takes you there directly on the Adobe site if you have not installed Flash and is the only place that Flash should always be obtained.

  In any case, it seems that the new version of Safari does not work as it should be with Pandora.

  There is a problem with your installation of OS X. The easiest way, but not the fastest way to fix it is to reinstall the operating system. Unless you are in a hurry or have measured access to the network, it is what I suggest, especially since I don't know if there are any problems with the installation. Please backup all data before reinstalling. You won't need the backup unless something is wrong.

  The below, advanced shortcut if it works, can save you some downtime (and the cost of a download of several gigabyte, if necessary.)

  1 back up all data.

  2. disconnect all external storage devices.

  3. start in recovery mode. Select a language, if you are prompted. The OS X Utilities appears. One of the options is to install OS X. This is not what you do.

  4. This step is only necessary if you use FileVault 2. If you don't know what's FileVault, you use it. Go to the next step. Otherwise, launch utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Select open in the file menu and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

  5. Select get online help. Safari will launch. While in recovery, you will have no access to your Favorites, but you won't need them. Load this web page.

  6. triple - click anywhere in the line below to select this option:

  chflags -R norestricted /V*/*/S*/*/Caches

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  7. Quit Safari. You go back to the OS X Utilities screen.

  In the menu bar, select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  Launch the Terminal application. Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination.

  Wait for a new line ending with a number sign (#) to appear. Quit the Terminal must be returned to the main screen.

  8. Select

  ▹ Restart 

  in the menu bar.

  9. This step must be performed after the restart, and while you are logged as administrator, not in recovery mode. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Select and copy this line as in step 6:

  sudo /usr/libexec/xpchelper --rebuild-cache

  Paste in a Terminal as before. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

  If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and repeat this step. You don't have to repeat the previous steps.

  Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered.

  10. make as in step 9 with this line:

  sudo /usr/libexec/*/app_sandbox_cache_builder --rebuild-cache

  You can then quit Terminal.
