Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
can someone help me, my MacBook Pro was working seamlessly yesterday, was doing some work, shut it down then started my Mac again when I needed it later that day and then when I tried safari, clicked on the application tab it shut down, and now it keeps doing it - what's going on. I have deleted all the history, cache etc and it is still closing unexpectantly.
Have you tried opening Safari with the shift key held down?
Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?
Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Also try the Safe Mode.

If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor.

Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart). Run Disk Utility and select First Aid. Then re-install the OS.
Reinstall from macOS Recovery.
Hi Eric
thanks for your reply.
so:
the problem doesn’t continue when I use a different user.
but- when I tried your safe mode suggestion and I signed back in as administrator it continues to happen
Hi Eric,
I did as instructed and I got to the install of macOS Big Sur, I clicked on upgrade and the computer then sat/was stuck on “checking null”, it stayed like that and wouldn’t do anything else.
what can I do?
