When I try to open Safari on my Mac Pro I get the following message - "your request is prohibited because it would cause a cycle". I the recent past I have had increasing difficulty getting on line. The modem has been changed and my provider has checked the internet and it is ok. I am able to post this message by going to my internet history. I would appreciate anyone's help.
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
The bookmark or home page you are using links back to itself. It is too complicated or points to a page created "on-the-fly".
Create a new link or a new homepage that goes to another page nearby, and try again.
Thanks Grant,
how do I create a new homepage? Mistakenly I hit the create a new link that turned up to be the apple page I was on. I could not retrieve the Safari page address.
Safari > Preferences > General ...
... New windows open with Empty page
I went to empty page and restarted the machine and got the following - "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4075084". I seems to have went to the last page I was on. (The home page was blank in the preferences)
Safari > Preferences > General ...
... Safari opens with: A new window
Hello Grant,
I was not able to find Safari opens with: A new window BUT because of your direction to the preferences drop down you helped me find my way. That is to say, by shear hunt and punch I was able to get back to my opening page for my emails. I copied that address into the homepage box. I then closed and reopened safari. Wala!! The computer acted normally by openning on my email.
Thanks again
Grant,
I have been all over Apple Support, Google, & Yahoo. I must have tried 10-12 suggestions between online Apple Support & Google. Nothing changed a thing. This has been an all day process. With your "easy" and well explained suggestion, IT WORKS now. thank you thank you! This seems to be a problem not well addressed by regular support. I wish I had found this earlier in the day. The good thing about the days work, I am a little more familiar with my first Mac Book product.
Great Job If I could figure out how to give you a green check mark I would have added it.
