When I attempt to load Safari I get the error message, "Safari will not load because of a problem. Check with developer to make sure Safari works with this version of OS X. You may have to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any updates to the application and OS X."
Mac Pro
As others have said, many thanks to harryhayes for the quick fix. I had a little bit of trouble finding the right path to the final piece to be deleted. So I thought I'd include how I got there. I have a MacBook Pro Retina mid-2012. Open your Finder window and along the top bar you'll see "Finder File Edit View Go Window Help." Click on Go. Select Computer from the drop down menu. Select Macintosh HD. Next select System (not Library.) After clicking System you'll see Library. Click that and you'll find the Private Framework. Click that and there you'll find MobileDevice.framework. Drag it to Trash. And Safari should be back and running. So to recap the steps: Finder>Go>Computer>Macintosh HD>System>Library>Private Framework>MobileDevice.framework. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you folks who helped solve this problem which was major.
P.S. I just discovered a quick way to get to Macintosh HD. Click the keys: Command+Shift+C.
Same here. Yosemite OS X version 10.10.5. A recent update from Apple apparently screwed up Safari. How to restore? No backup available...
How do I copy that from a friend's Mac and get it on mine?
@hblink - I wish I knew.
It makes no sense whatsoever. If I get to the bottom of it I'll let you know.
:-)
I found the library, but unable to find the file you mention; using OS X Yosemite; any suggestions?
Thanks
This worked for me. Thank you.
Sorry to be so dumb, but I can't find the location of /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework. I am also using Yosemite and my Safari crashed.
How do I find the system library? This sounds like my problem.
So that's great I have been able to download the App but it can't find that file! :-(
Thank you so much! It worked!
How do you find the Library?
