Safari 4.0.5 on Tiger 10.4.11 crashes frequently. Needs several relaunc

Looks like I'm having a similar problem. It hasn't been happening nearly as long - 2 or 3 days - but Safari is just disappearing when I try to do things like download files from a website.

Here is the most recent crash report (in 2 posts, I think):

HI,

Might be a font problem causing your crashes in Safari. You can empty the font cache using the Terminal app (Application/Utilities)

Launch Terminal

Enter the following command at the prompt and press Return:

Type in this command exactly as you see it here: atsutil databases -removeUser

Quit Terminal

Relaunch Safari. If it still crashes, go here for help. Font problems and management in OS X You may have a duplicate font problem.

If you repair any problems with the fonts, relaunch Safari. If it still crashes, please start your own topic instead of posting on someone else's thread. How To Post a Question

Also, we need the entire crash report.

According to your crash report you are running 10.4.11 but your forum profile shows 10.5.4 ??

Carolyn 🙂

thanks. And sorry for the abuse of protocol, but I assumed that I shouldn't start something new if I found someone with a similar problem. I'll check the link you sent.
I tried to use the command you specified, but the Terminal app "bashed" me, saying it doesn't recognize the command.
I also went to fontbook, and the application quit on me straight away.
Finally: the discrepancy in platforms is because I'm on my mother-in-law's computer, trying to help. My macbook is running smoothly.

Ok.. making more sense now.

You didn't really abuse anything it's just that when you post at the bottom of someone else's thread, not many users are likely to see it to offer you help. If you post your own topic, your topic will get the attention you deserve.

Since we're already working on the font issue, hold off starting a new topic this time but use those instructions for a new topic in the future 🙂

Try this for the Fonts. Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.fontbook.plist file to the Trash. That's in her home folder.

Relaunch Safari. If that didn't help, go to /Library/Caches and move the com.ATS folder to the Trash. You may be prompted for the admin password. Restart the Mac and try Safari.

If that doesn't help, definitely check out the link for Mac OS X font management I posted previously.

🙂
