How do I uninstall Safari 5.0.6 and re-install an older version?

I have an older iMac running Leopard OS X 10.5.8 and I accidently downloaded and installed a version of Safari (5.0.6) that is not supported by Leopard OS X 10.5.8. So now my old version of Safari is gone and I cannot figure out how to un-install Safari 5.0.6. I downloaded an older version of Safari (5.0.3) that should be supported by OS X 10.5.8 but when I go to install it, I get the error message that "a newer version of Safari already exists". Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have a Time Machine backup, you can try starting from the Mac OS X DVD (pressing C key while your Mac is starting) and select the option to restore the Time Machine backup on Utilities menu.
If you haven't got a backup, you have to reinstall Mac OS X. Insert the Mac OS X DVD and reinstall Leopard. After reinstalling Mac OS X, open  > Software Update to install the most recent version, so Safari will be working after doing this

  • How do you uninstall safari 5.0.5 and revert to 5.0.4?

    Hi,
    Sorry if this has been answered before. 
    Safari 5.0.5 crashes on javascript audio player calls that worked fine in 5.0.4 and every other browser.  I couldn't find an un-install in the package. Is it possible to revert to 5.0.4?

    Hi, Barbara! Is the problem that you have a lot of different versions of Firefox on your launch bar? Or that you have a lot of different versions in a directory somewhere?
    Either way, on the mac, you should be able to simply:
    1. Close all versions of Firefox
    2. Drag the applications to the trash folder, which will remove them from the folder or your dock
    3. Download Firefox with Safari at getfirefox.com
    4. Open the downloaded file by double clicking it
    5. Once that happens you will have a Firefox icon and a folder with an "A" on it
    6. Drag the Firefox icon onto the A, which will install it into your Applications folder
    7. Open your Applications folder and drag it onto your main dock
    8. You should be able to launch it from your dock by clicking on the Firefox icon.
    Thanks!

  • How do I uninstall current ver of Firefox and then install ver 5

    I currently have Mozilla Fire fox 18.0.1(x86en.us) and Mozilla Maintenance Service 23.0.1 in my Windows-7 x64 computer. I have new software that recommends changing the current fire fox browser to Fir Fox Ver 4 or later and the software will run better. I am thinking of ver 5. However my control panel does not let me uninstall Firefox. They do show ways how is can be done but I am not comfortable even trying them.
    Surely you should be able to show me the proper way.

    Um actually they mean Firefox 4 and Up, installing a version as old as 5 puts you at risk for exploits. Firefox 23 should work fine.

  • How do I uninstall safari 7 and reinstall safari 6 (snow leopard)?

    How do I uninstall safari 7 and reinstall snow leopard? I was on pinterest and it said I needed up to update my browser, so I did and now safari won't open for me since I have 10.6.8. How can I get safari back on my computer? I didn't know that my computer isn't compatible with the new software before I downloaded it and I can't figure out how to uninstall it so I can have my previous version back. Thanks!

    Classic Mac operating systems don't run Safari.  I've asked this thread be moved to the appropriate forum.
    Read this tip to more properly identify your Mac:

    Is your data backed up from prior to these installs?

  • Uninstalled new version, horrible. Installed the older version and now it won't open! HELP WANT MY MUSIC!

    I installed the new version thinking it would be the same, It was horrible! uninstalled it... Installed the older version and now it won't open and when I try it says it can't because the library can't open because it was used on a newer version. Come on! I just want my music! How do I open this and get my music back.
    I put my Ipod in and it still says the same thing, what's going on? Please help me!

    I don't know whom to thank first-- b noir for telling me about the Lorraine fix or Lorraine for figuring out the fix. THE LORRAINE FIX WORKED FOR ME!!! (I feel a little like I am advertising "Hooked on Phonics" with that last line!)
    Thank you doesn't say it strongly enough, but THANK YOU b noir and Lorraine for your help. I was to the boiling point last night and starting to get there tonight. Now I am resting easy and thankful that there is a community of computer users out there who care enough to troubleshoot problems together and work together to figure out a solution--and then to take the time to post and share information.
    I would STRONGLY suggest that anyone who is having the iTunes issues where iTunes just plain won't open at all after downloading the newest version and has a pc with Norton Internet Security 2005 try the "Lorraine Method."
    I am so happy I think I might sing. Or not--I will let my songs on iTunes do the singing for me now that I can again!!!!!!!
    And to those still looking for answers--be patient--I now know how incredibly frustrating this can be and I hope that you all find your solutions very very soon!!

  • I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

    Dear everyone
    I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
    I read a european commission document explaining that
    http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
    If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
    I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
    but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
    I checked the following web page
    Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
    that is recommending the following:
    The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
    This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
    unable to open these pdf.
    Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
    Best regards
    Ramon

Can someone direct me how to downgrade i-tunes perhaps?

  • Flash player v10.02.159 won't install - how can I install an older version?

    Hi all, any help will be appreciated.
    I've read all the relevent posts in this forum and tried the various suggestions. (used the Adobe uninstaller, used the various packages on the x64 help page; clean installs and uninstalls with RevoUninstaller Pro) shockwave for director is on Firefox, but would not even download on IE. (I don't use IE anyway, but...)
    I am running XP pro x64. I have Firefox v3.6.16 and Internet Explorer v 8 32 bit. I don't have the 64 bit installed.
    When I updated to v 10, it wouldn't install on either browser. The error message for the Flash player 10.2 installer reads:
    I am also running Chrome. I never updated the player, so it works on there (thank goodness!) (Nothing shows in the extensions folder)
    I tried to install an older package, flashplayer 9r280_win.exe and Brothersoftdownloader_for_Adobe_Flashplayer. - clean installs and uninstalls each time., also with no luck.
    Can someone tell me how to install an older version until the 64 bit version works for me? Or - if there is a fix that has not been posted yet - I'm game to try.
