I mistakenly deleted some code from the start up for Safari. When I try to open Safari now, it puts up a screen message Saying "Safari can't find the page". How can I rectify this problem?

Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive


Make sure you have a current backup before proceeding.


  1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utility Menu appears.
  2. Choose Disk Utility from the Utility Menu and click on the Continue button. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
  3. After Disk Utility loads select the indented (usually, Macintosh HD) entry from the the side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button.
  4. When the process finishes, quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu.
  5. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.

Hi the ratter, Many thanks for your assistance. This was my first experience of going in to make a recovery and your explanation helped me through the labyrinth. Sorry I did not get back to you earlier but was called away for a couple of days. I used your second suggestion. "Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive". It took about five hours to complete the process, mostly the last step of Reinstall OS X. (Only have a wi fi internet connection that can be a bit slow if there is a lot of other users on the phone system.


After it was all done, Safari is still the same, page opens but the message is still there, so it must be something else. Will have to try your first suggestion with Pacifist that I will have to download.


Thanks again for your support.
