Safari launching issue simply a broken alias in some cases In some cases, if Safari will not launch after applying Security Update 2006-002 1.1, the issue may simply be a broken alias in the Dock. Dragging the Safari icon out of the dock and replacing it by dragging the Safari application icon in the Finder to the Dock resolves the issue.

"After updating I also noticed that Safari wouldn't launch from the Dock. When clicked on, the dock Icon turned generic and Safari wouldn't launch. Simple fix---lifted the icon from the dock (poof) and dragged the Safari icon from the Applications folder to the dock. All fixed."
