If Safari is acting up, and clearing the cache and cookies does not fix the issue, it usually indicates the program isn't working correctly. To fix this, you  must re-install Safari. Re-installing Safari is relatively simple (It involves uninstalling it, and then downloading the newest version from [[http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ Apple's Website]].). If this still does not fix your issue, the problem would be either with your hard drive, or operating system. Fixing an issue like that is beyond the scope of this article.
