Sorry … the email sent before I had corrected the version number 1.9.8.4 …. Sometimes Snow Leopard on my New 17" MacBook Pro i7 is too fast for Ronni ;-)
Hi Lloyd, Not a problem, glad it is sorted. Safari does not like many third party add ons / plugins … doesn't need them ;-) Latest version of Safari AdBlocker 1.9.8.4 is compatible with Safari 5, at least on Snow Leopard. Also, Safari Cookies v 1.4.2 (created by same developer) is compatible too. If you were using the latest version, I suggest contacting the developer about the apparent incompatibility. Did you remove Safari AdBlocker from: Library>Application Support>SIMBL>Plugins>Safari AdBlocker? Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues Cheers, Ronni On 15/06/2010, at 4:47 PM, Lloyd White wrote: > Hi Ronni, > > Did all the things you suggested – very detailed too. > > Tried the new version only to be faced with the same problem. > > Then I let my little grey cells work and uninstalled Safari Add Blocker. > > Success! > > Safari obviously thinks that link is an advert – which it really is - but is > not what I would normally think of as the ads that pop up on the internet! > > Thanks for all your help and sorry to be using you as a private mentor! > > Lloyd > > > > >> Hi Lloyd, >> >> Might be best to delete/trash these files before you re-install Safari 5. >> >> HardDrive/Applications/Safari.app >> home/library/Safari(folder) >> home/library/Caches/com.apple.Safari(folder) >> home/library/Caches/Metadata/Safari(folder) >> home/library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist >> >> Cheers, >> Ronni >> >> On 15/06/2010, at 12:57 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: >> >>> Hi Lloyd, >>> >>> Download Safari 5 and install it again, especially if you used Software >>> Update to download & install Safari 5. >>> >>> Are you using OS X 10.5.8 or OS X 10.6.3? >>> Make sure you download the correct version of Safari 5 for your OS at this >>> link below: >>> http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ >>> >>> Cheers, >>> Ronni >>> >>> On 15/06/2010, at 12:41 PM, Lloyd White wrote: >>> >>>> Thanks Ronni, >>>> >>>> I just tried that and no change. >>>> I also removed all my Internet plug-ins and tried again.
