hi everyone,
My problem is that i cant seem to login to facebook, my hotmail, and i cant seem to download somethings. I have looked all over the internet for a solution but i cant find anything. Anything would help.
Thanks
 
What happens when you try to log in to facebook etc... ? "Can't do it" doesn't really help diagnose the problem.
 
:confused: why would you delete Safari? its a perfectly fine default browser. where not talking about IE here. i too felt i had to download Firefox as soon as i got my Mac. now i just use Safari as it integrated so well with OS X and Firefox for websites that arent standardised. plus i find Firefox to be slow to load… i want my browser to pop up instantly.

you havent deleted Safari you just deleted the app. download and install it again http://www.apple.com/safari/download/.

as for Firefox. try clearing all your private data from the Tools menu and relaunch it.
 
i click to login and nothing happens. if i look close at the bottom right i see for a second a little blip of what should be loading, but nothing on the screen changes
 
i have been looking around for a couple hours tonight and i tried both. as for downloading safari again nothing comes up. when i go to your link it all comes up but the box on the left is left blank.
 
thanks for your help so far, but with that a box pops up says
"The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred.

Please try again."
 
im not sure i understand the purpose of that. i downloaded it and it told me i dont have safari downloaded
 
a couple months ago i decided i wanted to have both safari and firefox and it did let me download it. but after i tried to do the install from the disk image it told me i wasnt up to date. i just bought my laptop this summer and i have done every update it offers me. sorry if my wording is weird im a rookie
 
ok i only have Safari 3.1.1 for some reason. maybe someone who has Safari 3.1.2 can zip Safari.app in Applications and then attach it to their post. igoodew can then download it, unzip it and put it in his Applications folder and Safari will work again.
 
this happned to my friend, I did not know what to do, i told her to do a restart, then fixed permissions do another restart and somehow that fixed it all.... don't know if that will work for you, or if it was just pure coincidence that it worked for my friend's Mb, but i guess worth try?
 
we have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow thank all you guys! i worked on this garbage for over 2 hours. guess i know where to go next time
