HI,

From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Appearance tab. Make sure: *Display images when the page opens* is selected.

If that box was already checked, from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If Google thumbnails are still not loading ..



Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.

Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

And repair permissions.

Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Ok...

You are looking in the wrong Library folder. There are two, system and your Home Folder.

Open a Finder window. On the left select your Home Folder (It has a small house icon).

Then on the right open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.

The com.apple.Safari.plist file is there. Just move it to the Trash and relaunch Safari.

~/Library/Preferences


When you see the ~ (Tilde) character, that represents your Home Folder.
