Thanks for the suggestion - I tried that but it quit - unexpected error
I procceded to archive and install the original 10.4 and that went fine I restarted all was working fine. I tried to install the 10.4.3 Combo installer and it crashed again. Now I can't even start up, it gets to the gray apple screen and the fans start going crazy. Started up from the CD and tried to install again and that quits also.
- what's going on?
I'd appreciate any help

Safari, mail, software update very slow on new imac

Hello,
I recently upgraded to a 21.5" i3 imac and transferred everything from my old imac (core 2 duo, os 10.4.10)
anything involving the internet is painfully slow, safari 5.02, firefox, mail, even the software update (but once it "catches"- downloads are fast)
I have tried the following:
1.) Repaired disk permissions
2.) Changed DNS
3.) Reset Safari
4.) Restarted computer
5.) Disabled all plugins (only had one which was an adobe reader)
No improvement- when I hookup my old computer- internet is fast.
Now for the really disturbing part- when I run windows 7 inside parallels 6, internet explorer is quick!
Help!

Finally- the problem has been solved
on the second call to the cable company they flashed/reset the modem and now it is working perfectly (roadrunner wideband)-
the first time I called they just ran a diagnostic which appeared ok.
the second time they flashed to modem.

Mail, Safari and Software Update won't launch?

My Mail, Safari and Software Update apps don't launch after my last Software Update installed Quicktime 7.0.4 and iTunes 6.0.2. During that update (Jan 12, 06) I got the spinning ball and ended up restarting because nothing was happening...
That's when my apps stopped opening.
This is what Console says when I try:
dyld: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
dyld: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
dyld: /System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/MacOS/Software Update truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
So it appears I have a "malformed library", what should I do?
Thanks.

Yes, it looks like something is not right with /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. The message "filesize extends past end of the library" sounds like there might be some corruption of the filesystem, although I certainly could be wrong about this. (The filesystem is the operating system's mechanism for determining where files actually start and stop on the harddrive.)
The first thing to try would be to attempt to repair the filesystem. This can be accomplished by booting of your Panther Install CD and using Disk Utility to do a Repair Disk. There are good instructions for that at Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. See the section on Repair Disk.
If that does not work, I suggest that you try to replace /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. If you have another computer with the same operating system, you could connect via target disk mode and copy over the good folder to replace the bad one. Alternatively, you could do an Archive and Install.

Safari and Software Update won't launch on Macbook

I have a macbook (OS X 10.4.11) that I haven't used in a while. I tried to use it today but Safari crashes as soon as I launch it. I can't even view a page--Safari and its menu appear momentarily on the top bar and then disappear. Software Update does the same thing. Skype didn't launch the first time I tried, but it did after doing some disk repair. I don't want to use the Mac CD to take it to factory settings because I don't want to lose the Microsoft Office I have on it. Is there a way to make these programs work?

When you boot up the Mac with the install disc in, hold the C key for around 10-20 seconds. THEN let go of the C key. I notice this when doing this on my Mac. I would hold down the C key for a minute, and give up cause I think it just froze, and let go of the button only to find out that it didn't really work cause I had to let go of the C key. It also takes a while to boot up too. I'm not sure about the next part, but I think it goes like this. It will show you a installation screen, and on the top bar, you click utilities and Disk Utility. I don't remember the whole process cause I haven't done it in a while.

Safari & apple software updater don't believe I'm connected to the internet

Hi,
I have an interesting internet connectivity problem that I was wondering people could help me with.
Whenever I use the ethernet port on my laptop to connect to the internet, certain pieces of software do not think i'm connected to the internet even if I am. For example, firefox, adium, apple mail, jabber, transmit ftp, ichat will work properly, but, safari, the software updater, adobe cs updater will not work and thinks there is no connection to the internet.
This happens no matter what network I am on and I do not have this problem if I connect wirelessly to any network.
Anyone know what's going on and if there is a simple solution?
thanks,
ben

Hi Ben, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Try this... when using the Ethernet port, type this into Safari's URL bar...
17.254.3.183
If that gets you to Apple, then try putting these in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers:, for that Interface...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Apply. These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

Unable to connect to network with Safari and Software Update

A user I support has encountered a problem with networking. He is unable to connect to the network with Safari and Software Update, but IS able to connect and surf with Foxfire and some other programs. Another unusual symptom is that he actually can connect to one web site (which is in his Bookmarks Bar) with Safari, but can't connect to anything else. He's also unable to navigate off of that one site he connects to. When he runs Network Diagnostics, he gets all green lights (no problems). He has fixed permissions, deleted Safari Cache and .plist, rebooted - not fixed yet. He's using 10.4.8 on a PowerPC G4. Any ideas appreciated (this is the wierdest I've seen in a while!).

Here's what he did. After reading your post, he created another location in his network preferences, entering EXACTLY the same info that was in his old location (he even used the old DNS addresses), except using a new location name. Then he chose the new location and "everything worked". It's one of life's great mysteries. Thanks for your help - it is appreciated.

When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine. Tried Proxies, but not sure what to do there. Only one box was checked, I unchecked it, and made no difference. Have also tried some other DNS numbers, nothing worked yet.

Hi There,
Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine.
I have found some archieved discussions about this, but none that went into detail about how to fix problem using proxies - I don't really understand what they are/ do.
I went into the Proxies screen, Only one box was checked, "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" I unchecked it, and made no difference. There was also some stuff written in the "Bypass proxy settings for these hosts and domains" I deleated that and nothing different happened. Have also tried some other DNS numbers, nothing worked yet.
Any suggestions?

I still have no idea what was wrong with Safari last week, but I opened it today, and its all working! Hurrah!
Woohoo! I'm a great fan of things fixing themselves. Fingers crossed in New Zealand for no further problems.

Safari and software update won't connect with 10.6.5 and 10.6.6

Downloaded 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 to my 4 month old Macbookpro but safari and software update wouldn't connect. Camino worked fine. I'm back on 10.6.3. It works fine but I would like to update. Suggestion?

In response to how did I update if safari and update didn't work with 10.5 and 10.6. Your question is silly. I updated from 10.6.4 and as I said Camino works fine and always has.

Safari and Software Update wont open anymore when connected to internet.

My Safari and Software update and Internet Explorer cannot connect to the internet anymore after 4 years even when I'm connected to the internet... I once got a 'Posix 54' error message. Firefox does not have a problem!
I'm using Mac OSX 10.3.2. Which I reinstalled just now, Xmas 07 and reinstalled all the software with no luck. I've wasted three days trying to solve this problem. Can any one help please. London UK.

Hi,
Check under here to see if you have any proxies selected. If you do, unselect them and retry the applications.
System Preferences -> Network -> (Your connection method) -> Proxies

HT201380 keep having scrolling problems with Maverick on both iMac and Mac Pro despite downloading mail software update

Have scrolling problems with Maverick despite downloading mail update on both IMAC and Mac Pro
Have to reboot and it helps for awhile then stalls again

The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but it'd be worth going to System Preferences > Network and making sure the SOCKS Proxy is not enabled in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet.
Also, it looks like the crashes you're talking about are actually freezes, i.e. Mail becomes unresponsive rather than quitting unexpectedly. In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer, and see whether Mail displays there what it's doing when it freezes. Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it's doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
Reinstalling Mail will probably accomplish nothing, but it might be worth reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of machine and the version of Mac OS X you're using (which you would have to do anyway if you wanted to reinstall Mail):
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

Mail, Software Update, other OS applications don't start

I have a PowerPC G4 here at work that is running OS X 10.4.11, which updated four different things this morning, including a Safari update, a Quicktime update, an iTunes and an overall OS update... now I believe the last two did not install properly and when the computer restarted I was unable to open Mail or any other OS applications such as iTunes, and I also can't open Software Update to try to install the updates again.
Has anyone ever had a similar problem or can anyone suggest anything to fix it?
Thanks!

The installer will start, you select your language, then when a menu bar appears, select Utilities menu > Disk Utility. You don't have to quit the installer; you do have to run Du from the Du app on the dvd, not the HDD. (If you are running DU from the Utilities folder on your HDD, the Repair option will be grayed out, and Verify will report "The underlying task reported failure on exit.")
Note also that while you must run DU from the Install DVD to repair your disk, you should run DU from the internal HDD to repair permissions. (You can run Repair Permissions from the Install DVD DU, but it doesn't check all the right places.)
The iTunes update should not have caused the issues you are having, but a failed/interrupted OS update can. You can try reinstalling the 10.4.11 combo update manually by downloading it here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
(Edit: I see that Limnos linked to both the PPC and Intel combo updates - you need the PPC version.)
Hope this helps...

Safari and Software Update

We have an iMac that was having some problems and we decided to wipe the hard disk, reinstall 10.7.4 and restore user data from Time Machine. We did so, then upgraded via Sofware Update to 10.7.5.
We ended up with Safari 5.1.7. Unfortunately, for reasons I do not understand, it crashes hard on launch. (It looks like a selector being sent to a class for which it is unknown.)
Software Update says (unbelievably!!) that everything is up to date. I.e., Software Update doesn't seem to understand that the Safari version can be updated to 6.0 (or better, 6.0.1).
If I copy Safari 6.0.1 from another system to this iMac, it runs fine, but the system won't let me use it to replace the current (and obsolete) version. [i.e., I can run it from Desktop, but can't move it to Applications.]
How can I get a valid installer for Safari 6.0.1? Support wants me to go to Software Update, which isn't doing the job. [And for that matter, WHY isn't it working?]

I tried that, but it didn't work - perhaps because I (mistakenly) installed the 10.7.5 Supplemental update first. I agree that the next step is probably to try reinstalling Lion via recovery mode. But I'll probably wait a bit, because I have a temporary work-around in place.
The workaround is to copy Safari 6.0.1 the problem system, putting it someplace OTHER than the Applications folder (since Lion won't let me put it there), then replace the dock's Safari icon with one that points to 6.0.1.

Can't launch Safari after Software Update

I can't start Safari anymore and I don't know what to do. In short, click on the dock and no bounce. Double-click on the icon within Applications and it doesn't launch either. These problems, I'm guessing are a result of the combination of objects delivered by Software Update yesterday. Based on the log below, I installed the following:
2006-05-29 22:05:53 -0700: Installed "Pages Update" (1.0.2)
2006-05-29 22:05:58 -0700: Installed "Apple Intermediate Codec" (1.0.1)
2006-05-29 22:06:12 -0700: Installed "Keynote Update" (2.0.2)
2006-05-29 22:06:52 -0700: Installed "GarageBand Update" (2.0.2)
2006-05-29 22:07:42 -0700: Installed "iPhoto Update" (5.0.4)
2006-05-29 22:08:04 -0700: Installed "Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2" (2.0)
2006-05-29 22:09:01 -0700: Installed "QuickTime" (7.1)
2006-05-29 22:09:43 -0700: Installed "iTunes" (6.0.4)
2006-05-29 22:10:02 -0700: Installed "iPod Updater 2006-03-23" ( )
Additional problematic behavior includes:
(1) other applications saying OS X is not 10.3.8 or higher
(2) can't launch Software Update from the Apple menu or from the "About This Mac" window
(3) can't see the system version in "About This Mac" (shows the serial number instead)
(4) can't run a bunch of other apps (Dashboard, iMovie, iChat, Sims 2 University)
Any clues? Am I in the right forum?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

(3) in About This Mac click on the serial number and it should cycle through the Mac OS version, build, and serial number. Run Repair Disk Permissions then run Software update again. There might be other updates available. After each update run Repair Disk Permissions.

Wireless is connected, but cannot use safari, itunes, software update

Im having trouble with my macbook pro right now. The network diagnostics show that my connection is fine, but safari won't connect to any sites.
With safari, it doesn't say anything about not being able to connect, it just shows the loading icon on the url bar and a white page.
iTunes won't connect, and same with Software update. I do not have any antivirus right now.
My time machine is working, but that uses a different router(the one on the time machine)
Ive tried resetting safari among other things and nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

Do you use the right channel and right encryption settings?
This should be checked!
It should be able to change the WLan channels in device manager -> WLan card -> Properties -> Advanced tab
But I would also recommend disabling the encryption and password in router settings and to connect to Open Wlan of course this should be done only for testing purposes if the notebook would be able to connect to the open router, then this would mean that you used a wrong password.
How about WLan driver update? Did you update the WLan driver? If not do that!
