Safari won't open

Hi,

I am having a problem with Safari.

It started today after trying to connect my iPhone (with new iOS 12) to itunes.

First itunes, doesn't recognize my iPhone anymore.

I will try to fix that.

My problem now is with Safari.

Here is the message I get.

Would appreciate if someone could help

Thanks

You are welcome.


Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

Safe Mode - About


Safe Mode Startup – El Capitan. also Sierra


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.

I am on a Macbook pro. osx 10.10.5 - Safari broken after itunes update.


For a 'dirty fix' I just deleted, (moved to trash), the following file... MobileDevice.framework


this is located /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework


Safari started up again fine straight away and I haven't noticed any issues since.

To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.


macOS 10.12/10.13 (Sierra/High Sierra) requires one of the following Macs:


MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or later) Model 6.2 and higher


How to get macOS High Sierra


Sierra download


Check to make sure your applications are compatible.


Application Compatibility




macOS Sierra 10.12: Compatible Apps



Also check to make sure there is a compatible driver for your printer.


Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.

Hey it worked for me as well, but will this affect transferring data from iPhone to mac?


  • Taken from the iPhone wiki: MobileDevice Library is used by iTunes to transfer data between iPhone and computer over both USB and WiFi connections. Location: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework


Not too tech savvy, just trying to understanding the repercussions of doing this, if any.


Also, does anyone have any idea why all of a sudden so many people with 10.10.5 are having this issue?


Thanks.

Oct 7, 2018 11:08 AM in response to Eric Root

Thank you Eric.

I tried opening Safari with shift held down but same result.

I also tried this: dowloading the file (libcrypto.35.dylib) and install it in my user lib, but no luck.


Everything started to go wrong since I installed the iOS 12 on my iphone and tried to connect it to my computer.

I have installed an older version of itunes (12.6.4.3) and reinstalled the latest one (12.8) and still my iPhone (and my iPod) doesn't appear in itunes. I know my computer recognizes these devices, I see them when I do "option + Apple, System Information, USB".

I run on Yosemite 10.10.5. I don't wish to upgrade to a another OS in order to keep some music production hardware/software compatible.


Still looking for a solution.


Thanks!

Fin du rapport

Nov 14, 2018 11:53 AM in response to Eric Root

Dear Both,


I've exactly the same problem and I tried everything you recommended to do - problem is still not fixed.

I'm running on 10.10.5 OSX, iPhone 8 with newest iOS, iTunes version 12.8.0.150.


The main difference is:

When I'm running safe mode or another admin account - Safari also crashes with exactly the same failure message.


I also reformatted my hard disk, tried the internal hard disk repairing software - nothing.

What I know is: when I reinstall macOS from the macOS recovery: At least Safari is working then.

But then there appears a software update in the AppStore called something like "safteyupdate macOS 2017" and when I install this update Safari won't work anymore. But iTunes doesn't work neither in the on nor in the other case.


Is there anything I could do?


Thanks!!

Dec 14, 2018 2:09 PM in response to harryhayes

Can confirm that HarryHayes "dirty fix" does allow Safari to start. Thanks Harry!


For others looking into to solve the problem themselves, I wasn't able to restore the offending file from TimeMachine (different issue I need to deal with) but I did try replacing the MobileDevice.framework with a copy from a different Mac. That didn't work.


But deleting the offending folder has allowed me to open Safari (using it right now).

Dec 14, 2018 5:46 PM in response to radiocampaign

To be honest, I can't say for sure what effect this fix will have on other systems at the moment.


I haven't looked into it any further as I was just pleased to be working again and haven't seen anything yet.


If I get the chance to look deeper and get to the bottom of it I will post again. However, hopefully Apple will fix this before I need to.


My best guess for the number of issues suddenly popping up...??? Perhaps the latest iTunes update shares common files with later, incompatible OS X releases.


Please post if you find anything.


Happy Christmas all.

Dec 14, 2018 7:40 PM in response to Strangeite

I'm on MacPro (2009) running Yosemite 10.10.5... I encountered the same issue today after an iTunes update. Deleting the offending file folders (AirTrafficHost.framework, CoreADI.framework, CoreFP.framework, DeviceLink.framework, iTunesAccess.framework, MobileDevice.framework) found in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks did the trick... It opened and was running fine again.


I think it's completely ridiculous that they send these unrelated updates out that break Safari. It's continuing to undermine my confidence in Apple. They've already proven they don't care about long time customers who've supported the company spending thousands of dollars on their hardware for years to make them the mega brand they are today. Constant OS updates that all focus on the **** iPhone have done nothing but cause relentless problems. Safari and iTunes are complete garbage as far as I'm concerned. Oh but if you just upgrade to the latest OS everything is fine... yeah except all your other software (i.e.Adobe) and hardware won't work which translates to more headaches and money to be spent.


Apple used to be easy, plug and play... Now they're just one big headache like everything else.



Safari won't open
