preference files and re-launch and see if that fixed it. If that didn't fix it I would ( exit Safari first) remove (one at a time if you like) the other.If it is you will have to re-select your Safari preferences (home page, tabs and other preferences) Re-launch Safari and see if it is better.I would start with deleting (or moving to the desktop) the Any one or even all of those files could be the culprit.A finder window will open, scroll down till you see Preferences.In Finder select the Go menu and if "Library" is not available select Go to folder and enter ~/Library and press enter.That didn't do it? OK let's delete some settings/preferences files. Note that some extensions may interfere with another extension so it may be a combination of 2 or more extensions that are causing the problem. It is then a process of elimination of turning extensions on/off to find the culprit. If that solved the problem you can launch Safari normally, go to Safari > Preferences. Hold the Shift key while launching Safari. If this didn't solve your problem, try starting Safari in Safe Mode. Once that is done quit and re-launch Safari. The first thing I would do is close all your tabs then go to the "Safari" menu and select "Clear history." Change the pop-up menu to clear "all history" and click the Clear history button. Most issues with web browsers in general, including Safari, can be traced back to just a few things:
#Mac os safari update stalled download#
I usually can’t even log into my university-moodle-account, and when I can, I can’t download any of my homework or watch the video-recordings of the lectures. I deleted all my Safari History and I emptied my Caches. I tried to run diagnostics on my laptop and that said there were no problems.
#Mac os safari update stalled mac#
And then I tried restarting my mac several times. I closed all the other apps, and tried reopening Safari multiple times. And I just have 1 website/tab/window open, and it used to work fine in the past. But when I restart it the same thing happens again. And when I restart Safari the same thing happens again, so I tried to force-restart my laptop, because Safari is frozen. I can’t close the browser, and I have to “quit” Safari, but that doesn’t work, so I have to “force quit” it. Now every time I open safari, I get to the favourites page and when I click on a website (like moodle, or websites from my school) it always freezes and the coloured wheel starts spinning and the fans start turning really loudly. I updated it yesterday to Catalina 10.15.7 and I have Safari Version 14.0. I have been having problems with the Safari on my MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018) in the last couple of days.
