How can I reinstall Safari 8.0 without disturbing anything else?

How can I reinstall Safari 8.0 without disturbing anything else?  I have OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite & Safari 8.0 (that comes in it) installed on a MacBook Pro laptop and a Mac Mini tabletop computer. I want to access internet banking which goes without problems on the laptop but does not work on the tabletop. The latter says "somebody tried to display the application in a frame..." whatever that means and obviously for safety reasons I can not start banking it always comes back to the screen with this warning. I tried Mozilla FireFox on the tabletop Mini and everything works fine including the banking. A Mac expert suggested something is wrong with the Safari settings and I should reinstall it. How do I do this without reinstalling the System? Would it suffice to wipe out the Safari Preferences and start anew? I am looking for somebody's advice more experienced than I am. Thanks!

Hello isza41,
Before you try to do any uninstall/install stuff let me suggest you something:
Create a new user and check if the same happens within its account. You could do so by going trough the following steps:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
Click the lock icon to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password.
Click Add below the list of users.
Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user. - Standard user account would be perfect here.
Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.
Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Using a password hint is recommended to help the user remember his or her password.
Click Create User.
Now Logout from your account (⌘⇧Q) and Login to the one you have just created. This account is fresh without any changed settings(as a new instance would look like).
Check if the same would happen and you would see if this is an issue with your installation or something more general.

  • I do not have my discs for install.  My main computer is dying and purchased new computer.  How can I reinstall on new computer without discs?

    Hi,
    My main computer is dying - keys do not work and video is gone.
    I purchased a new retina Macbook pro and want to reinstall Logic Audio Pro 9.  I do not have my original discs.  I can still access the program on the original Macbook to deauthorize if necessary.
    But how can I reinstall wihtout the discs?
    Any help would be great.  Thank you!

    Carbon Copy Cloner -or-
    You could remove the HD and put it in an External Enclosure -or-
    Maybe try using Apple's Migration Assistant -and finally-
    Once you have the new computer set up you may want to use Time Machine

  • How can I reinstall safari without losing bookmarks

    I need to reinstall my Safari and preserve all my Bookmarks.
    For a previous problem, i have to reinstall my MacOS and safari now does not work. So i want to reinstall it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to lose my previous bookmarks that I had in my latest Safari.
    Any help is welcome.
    THANK YOU!!

    Hi Julian,
    About 15 minutes ago I reinstalled Safari and all my bookmarks remained intact... here's what I did...
    I had a problem with Safari not opening after Security Update 2005-007. I used a program called Pacifist to get a file called Safari.pkg from my Tiger install disc.
    The file lives in:
    Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Packages/Safari.pkg
    Open the pkg with Pacifist and drop the Safari.app file into your Applications folder.
    That's it - my bookmarks all remained intact - hope yours do!
    FYI - Safari bookmarks are stored in your 'user' home folder in Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist so you might want to make a copy of that and keep it safe.
    If you install a browser called Shiira you can also import your Safari bookmarks into that. I managed to do that while my Safari was broken.
    Good luck. I accept no responsibility for lost bookmarks etc. ;O)
    Regards,

  • How can I reinstall Safari - without having to reinstall the entire Mac OS X?

    Hi
    Is there a way to reinstall Safari - without having to reinstall entire Mac OS X?

    Hi
    Yes - just download the appropriate version from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ & install it - that should replace the Safari application &  the accompanying software frameworks inside System/Library/, as well as one or two other items.

  • How can I reinstall Safari?  The current version core dumps.

    For some reason, I can not run Safari.  If I can't access the web, how can I re-install Safari?

    Safari is now a part of OS X and can't be downloaded from Apple. Each older version of OS X has a different version.
    The only way to install Safari is with an OS X install.

  • My Airport Extreme and iMac appear to have the same IP address as a result of installing a new ATT modem via direct ethernet connection. How can I reset the Airport IP without disturbing the iMac setting if the iMac can't reach the Airport?

    My provider's (ATT) modem recently went bad and though I usually use an Airport Extreme connection to the modem I had to start up their new modem via a direct ethernet connection from my computer to the modem. In trying to restart my Airport to modem via ethernet connection I was told that my computer IP and Airport ID are the same and so now my computer will not connect to the Airport. How can I best get out of this situation?

    Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • How can I reinstall Safari

    I recently updated my mini mac (late 2012) to Yosemite and somehow I seem to have deleted my safari so completely that when I try and log in -  a message comes up saying 'Safari can't find server' - any ideas on how I can reinstall my Safari. thanks

    By deleting a portion of the address, apparently it could no longer be resolved into anything meaningful.
    When you open Safari after closing the last window, quitting the program, or restarting your Mac, by default it opens the last web page you attempted to load. That may be the page with the misspelled address and something like this will appear:
    Do you know what site you're attempting to access?
    To change Safari's default search engine open Safari, select the Safari menu and select Preferences...
    Then, select the Search tab. Click the dropdown menu adjacent to Search engine. I suggest you change it to DuckDuckGo.

    Safari can't be deleted. Check other screens, inside folders. Also check restrictions by going to Settings > General > Restrictions.

  • How can I reinstall Safari after losing it completely on my Mac Pro?

    Somehow I deleted Safari from my MacBook and there is no trace of it on my computer.  I am trying everything and failing.  Please help!  Thank you in advance!

    Have you tried using Software Update? Have you tried reinstalling it from the pre-bundled software installer that came on your original installer discs for the computer?  Have you tried downloading Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard from Apple's support site?

  • How can I reinstall the iphoto app without buying the new version?

    I accidently deleted my iphoto app on my mac mini a while ago.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac came with discs or you installed iPhoto from the iLife DVD, insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 2 or Applications DVD and install iPhoto performing a custom install. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest iPhoto version. If you haven't got the discs that came with your Mac mini, call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 The other option is to buy the most recent iLife version.
    If your Mac didn't come with discs or you purchased iPhoto in the App Store, open the App Store, go to Purchases and download iPhoto. In both cases, iPhoto can be installed free of charge

  • How can i reinstall "safari" on my iPad

    In the latter configuration, dissappeared.

    If that doesn't work, swipe (or click the Home button) to the Spotlight search page. Type in Safari. If it is in a folder it should indicate which one. Otherwise:
    Check all of the available hone screen to see if was pushed out to an alternate one (swipe to the left or right to move between them).
    Open the Settings app > General > Reset Reset Home Screen Layout. (NOTE: this will completely re-arrange your home screens and remove folders, but will place Safari back in it original place of prominence).

  • How can I reinstall Safari for Lion after I mistakenly installed Safari for Mountain Lion?

    Hi,
    via Macupdate I saw the new version 6.02 and did not thought about it. So I installed it only to view that this version  would run only on a Mountain Lion system.
    My 2007-MacBook is not capable to run 10.8.
    So I tried to replace the new version with a Safari (6.0.1) from a TimeMachine Backup. I also tried to apply again the Mac OS X Combo Updater (10.7.5), but the installer says that it is not possibel to install it (again).
    The thing is that Safrai still keeps crashing. Now I don't know what to do.
    Any help is appreciated

    5.1.8 is only currently available as part of the recent
    Security Update 2013-001 (Snow Leopard)
    download the latest Flash from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    and before installing, check HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and the same folder (if it exists) in your Home/Library/ for anything named Flash... moving them to the trash.
    you may also have a Flash Player icon in System Preferences - the Advanced tab has an Updates section, with a 'check now' button, which should show what you have & if it needs updating.
    edit - as Baltwo said... which wasn't showing previously

  • How to test/reinstall Safari?

    I got a problem that have been bugging me for a while.
    One of the pay sites I use to purchase airline tickets no longer work 100%.
    During the payment process it looses the information about the ticket I want to purchase and I end up with a blank page.
    Funny thing is that:
    - it used to work
    - it works when I do it from my MacAir
    I reckon that somehow something is changed in my Safari setting on my iMac that I'm unaware of.
    Is there a way to verify that Safari works by going to a web-site that will test all it's features?
    That would allow me to pin-point what is wrong.
    How can I reinstall Safari - without having to reinstall the entire Mac OS X?

    Hi,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to: Other forms. Remove All.
    Now from the menu bar again, click Safari / Empty Cache.
    Restart your Mac.
