Safari & finder problem

This isn't a hardware problem, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere,, so I thought I'd toss it out there...

One day out of the blue, when I selected customize toolbar, nothing happened. I'm down to back & forward, 1Password and add bookmark.

I've tried re-installing Safari, and dumping Application Enhancers. Nothing helps. When I switch users, Safari is fine...

The other thing I've noticed is when I do a command-F search, I can't resize the columns in the results window, and they are so small it only shows a word or two, making the search somewhat useless, since I can't easily tell which file it found.

I think these 2 things are somehow related.

I really don't want to reinstall Leo, and if I do an archive and install, won't it just bring whatever file is funky in my user folder back with it?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Don't waste your time migrating everything to a new user.

Below are the list of files you need to remove from your user because this is a user related issue not a system wide issue.

~/Library/Safari

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari

remove anything that has com.apple.Safari. (there will probably be 3 or so)

~/Library/Caches

restart your computer and it should be fine.

Sounds like prefs are somehow corrupted. I would create a new user and migrate your data (but not your preferences) to the new user. (If you use mobile me that means don't have preference sync set to on.

first off I would open disk utility (Macintosh HD->Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility) if you haven't already done that and "Verify Disk Permissions". Disk Utility will attempt to fix all the corrupt files if it finds any. If that doesn't solve the problem you can try downloading App Zapper and uninstalling Safari and all the files associated with it, then redownload Safari from Apple's website. I hope this fixes the problem! Migrating data is another way to do it but it is not the simplest or fastest.

it is repair disk permissions, not verify disk permission.

FYI, repair permissions does not touch any file on a user directory. This will only help on a system wide level. Also applications on a mac are the same app no matter which user you are in so also not a good step here. What you need to look at are the support files for Safari as well as the user cache files.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your answers.

I fixed it. It was something in one of my preference panes or things like TinkerTool. Unfortunately, I don't remember which. If I remember which it was, I'll post it. Sorry!
