  • Is there an option 'Search' in the web browser?

    I was looking through an app as html user's guide.  It was very long, so I was hoping to 'find' a specific word, as I do with 'ctrl-f' in IE.  I've sought help but saw nothing.  Please tell me that I am a fool who cannot understand this and that we are not to miss such a basic feature.

    Currently this feature is not available.

  • Alert about the Safari - browser by default

    Hello

    I've updated to El Capitan November 25, 2015. Since then, I have essentially been locked out of Safari due to an alert that is displayed. It reads: "alert - any Safari these when you started to use it on November 25, 2015, then you could try Safari with your data." Below, there is a checkbox then 'do Safari, the default web browser'.

    The box is already checked, and Safari is my default browser. I uncheck, nothing happens. I check again, nothing happens. I am unable to use Safari, I can't access even preferences in the menu because everything is gray. There is a screenshot of what I see below, including the menu grayed.

    I have Google Chrome Canary installed on my computer (the regular Chrome would not work after that I updated to El Capitan), but I am unable to set it as my browser by default because it is a "secondary installation of Google Chrome.

    I'm usually fairly warned that I can understand things like this, but I searched everywhere (including the help of these forums... and it is possible that I missed something similar) and can not understand. I'm the only person in my office using a Mac (even who knows really well with a Mac) because I am a graphic designer here, so no work can help me.

    So, how can I make the alert go away? Do I need to run updates? I checked, but there is no any demo available right now...

    Safari worked fine, without any problems, until I upgraded to El Capitan.

  • Greetings, Im getting an urgent message when I try to open my safari browser. He said a number listed in the contact message. Is it a real Apple alert or a scam?

    Hello, I get an urgent message to communicate a number of phone about my safari browser. Is it a scam? What is the official support of Safari Apple #? Thanks for your help?

    It's a scam.

    Force Quit Safari using the command + Option + ESC shortcut keyboard, then restart Safari while hiding the SHIFT key .

    Then, to your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab, then click: delete all data of the website can leave then restart Safari.

    That should eliminate the alert/scam.

  • my safari browser is no longer supported on my macbookpro5, 2

    I have a macbookpro 5.5 and have long been messaged my safari browser is no longer supported. is it possible to find an update for my mac?

    Safari updates are related to the OSX levels. 10.6.8 cannot run the latest version of Safari 9. Your options are:

    (1) update of Mac OS on your computer. Your will support the current version of El Capitan, if you have at least 4 GB of RAM. However, most programs Alumni such as AppleWorks and any version of MS Office: older than Office 2008 Mac will stop working as soon as you leave OS 10.6

    (2) If you do not want to upgrade your operating system, switch browsers. FireFox is good for now, but there are messages that it will soon work on any Mac OS more than 10.9 Mavericks.

    I tried Seamonkey which seems to keep OS 10.6 supports and it looks and feels like FireFox. Very nice.

    Do not receive a download using a site or the other browser. Get that from their respective developers:

    FireFox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/products/

  • After iOS 9.3 update safari browser crashes

    I noticed that my safari browser blocks most of the time, especially when I open a new tab in the background. This problem started after I upgraded to ios 9.3

    Are you running iOS 9.3.1 correct?   9.3.1 was supposed to solve a problem of links in Safari.

    If yes try resetting Safari. Close Safari completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the preview pane of Safari until it disappears from the display. You may need to search the Safari part covering scribbles to the left. Then go to settings > Safari > clear the history and data from the Web site. Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds , until the Apple logo appears.

    If this does not help, try disabling the Suggestions of Safari. Settings > Safari > Suggestions of Safari to off (not green).

  • MacBook Pro locks up in Safari

    The short problem is my MacBook Pro (end of 2013), and my co-workers 2011 MacBook Air have experienced two camera while Safari is running. Without warning of the shutdown of computers... the mouse still works, but text and clicking on do not work. It usually lasts a minute or two and the keyboard buffer works when he wakes up. Reboot also clears.

    But this week my MacBook Pro locked and is stuck. Reset don't affect it. I would be left to the user with a mobile slider page and no clicks or keyboard function. The only change is the addition of a new Trackpad Apple replace my magic mouse.

    I ' d up call apple support and after resetting the PR and a few other things, the collective decision was the computer had a software problem preventing us to solve using equipment. They suggested an Apple repair center. At that point I had to accept.

    My wife asked the new trackpad... which at that time was off and I was using the cushion on the MacBook. She suggested trying the magic mouse, and when I turned it on I return control of the mouse. I have re-installed immediately OS - X and for about a day, I have not had any problems.

    Then yesterday I had another episode of 30 second freeze.

    Any ideas or suggestions?  I don't think it's material, or I wouldn't be typing this. I went a day now, after the last frost without any problem. But I would have preferred that they don't come back too.

    Thank you.

    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - activate the menu to develop it, then go ahead and empty Caches. Quit/relaunch Safari and test. Then try Safari/history/Show History and remove all items from the history.  Quit/relaunch Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History... The downside is that it deletes all cookies. It could upset some sites no longer recognizes your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder.
