Emptying The Cache In Mavericks Safari

Why can't software designers leave the user interface of software alone and concentrate on making it more stable and quicker you ask? Well,  thats because UI is a quick win "Look What I Did, Doesn't It Look Cool" even if it slooowwws things down and makes it problematic.  So after messing up safari, here's how to kill the latest cache from the new secret (NOT) hidden items.







Thanks for looking!! fixed1t

How To Get Back Deleted Bookmark Folders In Mac Google Chrome

RED ALERT

IF YOU HAVE COME TO THIS PAGE AS YOU HAVE JUST DELETED A VITAL FOLDER BOOKMARKS FOLDER FROM APPLE MAC X VERSION OF GOOGLE CHROME, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES QUIT CHROME UNTIL YOU HAVE WATCHED THE VIDEO BELOW.  IF YOU QUIT MAC GOOGLE CHROME IT WILL BACKUP YOUR BOOKMARKS WITH THE MISSING FOLDER AND IT WILL BE GONE FOR EVER.  IF YOU HAVEN'T QUIT CHROME THERE IS STILL A CHANCE TO FIX IT, JUST OPEN ANOTHER TAB TO WORK IN.

IF YOU OPEN SAFARI WHILST CHROME IS OPEN YOU MAY ALSO GET THE SAFARI CHROME ERROR FOR WHICH A FIX IS LISTED ON THIS BLOG.


Whilst not paying attention I accidentally deleted a useful bookmarks folder from my Apple Mac Google Chrome, I wasn't concerned just a quick 15 second mouse click would solve it, or so I thought.

However, if like me you thought you could just go to the edit menu and select UNDO to get it back then alas we are wrong.  As with a lot of todays software, the software engineers seem to have spent so much time on the fancy things whilst removing the basic that actually make sense (sorry old software engineer rant ;-) LOL.

So things were much more complicated, tedious and time consuming.  Is it just me or are others getting fed up with typing in a search to Google etc which returns hundreds or thousands of alleged results only to discover they are sites that list other sites, that list other sites, that may or usually haven't got a solution.

Also, when I think I've found a solution, quite often I discover the solution or video they present is missing some vital steps or actions which the developer must have done to get a solution, thats assuming they did indeed find a solution.  I've had a few moans that my videos are too long winded, that I should edit a lot more, but as a trainer and lecturer I have always believed in showing people how to do things, warts and all.

As describing some of the actions for getting your bookmarks back from Mac Google Chrome, would be confusing or misunderstood I decided to make a new video.

Below is the YouTube video of how I got back my deleted bookmarks folder, step by step so hopefully you can do the same.



Just don't quit Google Chrome until you've backed up the 'bookmarks.bak' file.

If you find this useful please give it the thumbs up and feel free to share it with other Mac Support Sites.

Mac safari not working in 10.6.8 - How To fix Safari in Snow Leopard

Just recently my Mac Safari stopped working, I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and I did nothing to provoke it ;-)

I went online looking for a fix but could find nothing for Snow Leopard and the other instructions appeared to relate to another system.

I've worked it out and put together this short video showing you how I did it.

Here is how to fix the hanging Safari.

If this fixed your problem and saved you valuable time please consider making a small donation using the Donate button at the top of the right hand column. Even a few dollars really helps and we all know how expensive it is to call an expert in.  But if you don't wish to donate thats fine but it would useful if you could give the fix a thumbs up and pop back to leave a message.

Please check out my other videos and blogs.  

Many Thanks
