Safari unusable...

[AnonMac50]

Hi, on Safari, it keeps giving me error messages saying "Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher has quit unexpectedly" and "QTKit has quit unexpectedly". Sometimes every few seconds. I tried using a "MultiSafari" v.4.0.5 and it does the same thing. I suspect it is because of deleting the contents of the Caches folder (which I do regularly, but never had problems with). Any ideas?

What version of Safari are you running?

I found this thread, which is about Safari 4, but may help with Safari 5, as well.

1. Quit Safari 4.0 and right-click on it's icon in the Finder. Select "Show Package Contents".
2. Look inside the Contents folder and right-click on Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher and select Compress "Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher".
3. Put the original Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher in the trash and empty it.
4. Navigate to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews and highlight it. Get Info on it.
5. At the bottom click on the padlock, type in your password and then change the Privilege column for your login name to "Read only" and lock the folder. Close the Get Info window.
6. Launch Safari.

I have Safari 5.0.2.

I've tried that method, thanks, but now I don't have webpage previews, and I still get "QTKit has quit unexpectedly". I am going to restore it via a Time Machine Backup I had made just several hours before.

Thank you.
