Safari not working after update

Hi and welcome,

Go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the first 5 boxes, click Reset.

Relaunch Safari to see if there is any improvement.

Since Safari worked before the update, you may have a third party app installed that was compatible with the prior version of Safari, but not 5.0.2.

Follow the instructions here. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230?viewlocale=en_US









Carolyn. 🙂

Are you running v10.6.2 or v10.6.3 ?? (your profile)







🙂 You're welcome.

is a New User Account just the same ?
Just to test briefly - it helps in knowing where the problem may lie; system-wide or specific to one account.

Hi Jason

are you using any software add-ons/filtering software?

any proxies checked in System Preferences-Network-Advanced-Proxies ?

it's the same with plugins disabled via Safari-Preferences-Security ?

What about if you create a new Network Location ?

Hi

the dns issue for Safari - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
isn't usually not load 'any' websites - but worth pursuing, since both dns numbers & disabling prefetch are speedy to try.

What message do you get when Safari won't load the sites? - what shows in Safari-Window-Activity?

Do 'local' pages work ?
ones like Safari-Help-Installed Plug-Ins ? say , or /Library/Preferences/com.apple.headerdoc.exampletocteplate.html (any local html file, not that in particular)

If not, given what you've done already, and assuming no Console clues, I'd reinstall the latest Safari & failing that, archive & install.
