| Safari Problems I have the latest version of Safari and it's very unreliable. It crashes more than any app I have and it's always been for no reason! I could be pressing "Play Video" or loading a page on some website, and it would just crash. And I've also heard of a built-in delay when loading a page... I know Firefox is out there, but I'd rather have a working Safari.

| Try 2 Things: 1:Open disktools (programs/utilities/disktool) choose your harddisk (left column) and repair disk permissions 2:Restart your computer in safemode by restarting while holding down the shift button until the grey apple symbol appears. When the logon window shows (takes app. 5 min) you restart the computer and see if it has worked. |

| Disk Tool was in 10.2, not since 10.3 at least? Mario, are you in 10.4.11 or 10.5.2? Do you have any Safari plugins? Including Sogudi, Stand, flash players etc? Are any other applications crashing? Open Console (Applications/Utilities) when browsing, and when it crashes it should show what called for the crash (post). Are the pages that crash it always the same or random? E.g. Yahoo answers tends to still crash Safari...

| I'm on 10.5.2. I have a few basic plug ins like Macromedia flash player (but none that you mentioned). And random pages crash. I'll try the console idea.

| Safari Crashing My Safari also seems to be crashing with inexplicable frequency lately (10 times a day) and I have NEVER had problems with it before. Regular websites like espn.com has caused safari to crash 100% of the time in the last 4 days (I have even tried accessing the site from different mac computers and have experienced the same problem). In addition, when I try using the website craigslist.com to post ads my connection keeps timing out - again, I have tried using different internet connections with no luck. Is there a bug going around? HELP. |

Bmengstrom, uninstall Safari completely, reboot, then reinstall it again. See if this resolves any problems. Also before you install it, make sure that you delete any remnants of it in the Program Files folder.
