Can I run Safari 6 on an older version of OSX?

My wife needs to have a Safari version of 6 or above. Here current version of 5 will not allow her to take part in an on-line discussion which she wants to join.
When Software Update is run it says all the software is up to date.
Can I download a newer version of Safari from somewhere and run on here Mac? Or must I update her operating system first - I don't want to do this if I can help it!
Thanks in advance.
Paul

Thanks Niel,
I had a feeling this was going to be the case.
If you don't mind answering another question please:
It sounds like I need to purchase an upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Then I can upgrade from that by downloading and installing further upgrade(s).
Please can you tell me if these upgrades are easy to do? And will they keep the existing data files and E-mail etc. or does it imply a fresh install of the machine?
Thank you.
Paul

Can you run dreamweaver 11.5 with older versions of php?

I believe I understand from this group that dreamweaver 11.5 needs to run with php 5.3. I have version 5.1.6. Is there a way to edit a config file and run with an older version of php? And is so, could you please name the config file?
Thanks!!

So i have code that was stripped down to 3 print statements. Inside the print statements there is some html code. With the dreamweaver 8, i see the output from the html code only as expected. When I run with dreamweaver 11.5, I see the html code and all the "; print \n that was also in the statements like it is not interpreting the php correctly. I backed out to dreamweaver 8 and it works again. I'm at a loss as to why it stopped working with the upgrade. Here's the code that's run on submit from the html page with the php in bold.

Can you run a small network with different versions of OSX?

Snow Leopard has been freezing on me over and over, but I have hesitated to upgrade until we had a home finance program that worked on later systems. We have three Macs on wireless network (Airport Extreme)-- can I jump two versions of OSX on mine and test it out before upgrading the rest, or does it need to be all or nothing?

Nope -- but you can run Firefox if you want to avoid IE...

Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

Well, you didn't give any information on your Mac, your OS version, transfer pics from where to where, or anything else, so guessing is the best anyone can do at this point: you should be able to simply using drag and drop.

HT1338 For whatever reason, I can't use (mac) mail on G5 with Charter. Would like to try Thunderbird (TB) -now using Firefox 3.6.28. But can't navigate through Mozilla to find older versions of TB. Other alternatives

For whatever reason, I can't use (mac) mail 3.6 on my mac G5 with Charter ISP. I would like to try Thunderbird (TB) - I'm now using Firefox 3.6.28. But I can't navigate through Mozilla to find older versions of TB. Can you suggest a URL for down loading older versions of TB, or, other alternative email programs?

I have recently moved from Thunderbird to SeaMonkey - much better and up to date with the latest Mozilla code.
See my SeaMonkey page at: http://links.zero.eu.org/seamonkey/
For PPC - download the latest SeaMonkey-ppc from:
https://code.google.com/p/seamonkey-ppc/downloads/list
For Intel - download normal SeaMonkey from:

Old versions of Thunderbird can be found here:

The latest Thunderbird for PPC is 3.1.20.

I want to install an older version of OSX

I bought a used Mac Mini (Mid 2010) that has Mountain Lion installed. I want to erase the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard. How do I go about installing an older version of OSX?

Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
      loads select your language and click on the Continue
      button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
      Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
      of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then
      the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART
      info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on
      the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
      from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
      Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
      the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Can I run safari on, windows for free, on my mac?

I would like to see what some websites look like on a windows pc. Can I use safari with windows, on my mac? If so which one can I get for free? Or do I need to buy windows?

Apple dropped support for Safari for Windows sometime ago.
So it is not worth trying.
Best.

Having trouble updating Safari after reverting to older version

Hi. I feel really dumb for doing this and I won't bore you with why, but I downloaded Safari 1.2 and replaced version 1.3.2 with it. Now when I try to update with Safari 1.3.1, the installer won't let me use my hard drive (when the screen comes up to choose a location for the program the HD has a big red exclamation point on it).
When I 'get info' on Safari, it says it is version 1.2 and I run into problems that I didn't have before when using it. I've tried to use the software updater, it says all of my programs are up to date.
What should I do? Is there a "cookie" or something similar that tells the updater program that I have already updated? Help! I just want to get my computer back the way it was.
Thanks in advance for any help.
imac flat panel Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You can only edit the last version. If you want to revert to an older version of your code to go on from there, you'll have to sync to that older version (like you did), then copy the source code, sync to the last version and paste the copied code.

How can I load an older version of OSX onto my iMac?

Hey:
I have a Mid-2011 iMac running 10.7 right now. I partitioned the boot drive, creating a new space so I could load up 10.6 (in an effort to be able to play my older Diablo II and Warcraft games) but my retail CD version is not working. I did some research, and found that this is because my hardware is incompatible with the oldest versions of 10.6. What I am confused about, when reading through threads, is how can I get around this? Is there a way I can load up a newer version of 10.6 (like 10.6.3 or newer) onto this partition? Do I need an older Mac to do this (right now both my laptop and iMac are running 10.7 but I could always borrow my Mom's laptop for a bit since she is running 10.6.x)? Since I have a legal version of 10.6 I assume there is a way to do this, but I am not sure how to approach. I'm pretty knowledgeable with computers & technology, so I just need a general outline to get me started.
Any help from the community would be wonderful. Thanks so much in advance.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. I'm not looking to replace my current operating system, because I primarily need to work out of 10.7. I just need the older version (basically dual boot, choose which operating system I want at startup) to occassionally play the games that are not supported in 10.7. Actually, I had heard of lots of people doing this but the responses were all over the place and I was hoping to get a concise thought of what will work for my specific scenario.
Unfortunately borrowing my mother's computer is not an option as she lives miles from me and I would never know when I have the time or want to play. Anyone who has played Diablo or Warcraft can sympathize, my mom would never see her computer again if I needed it to play these games.
Thanks again. I might try the external drive scenario, but was just hoping to be able to dual boot into 10.6 directly with the hard drive(s) in the computer because my USB and firewire ports are all taken with lots of other equipment (I'm a graphic/web designer so have 2 printers, wacom tablet, external backup, 2 large die cut machines and so much more already plugged in). I'm pretty tapped out on ports without using a hub and I don't like the way they work (too many years in technology knowing that direct connect is the best way to go).

How can I download "older" versions of OSX?

Hi there
I have an old iMac that I would like to upgrade, but I don't seem to be able to find any older verson of OSX on the app store, like Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Only Yosemite is available and I as one would expect it's not possible to install that on such old hardware.
I have looked around and found some downloads from CNET etc. but they are all updates and not the full OSX version. Is really there no way to download the older OSX versions from the app store or somewhere else? The computer still works 100% fine and the only reason I want to upgrade is because I'm getting errors from the app store saying that newer version of OSX is required (mostly 10.7+) so even just Lion would be fine it seems.
My hardware specs are:
Model Name:    iMac
Model Identifier:    iMac5,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:    2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors:    1
Total Number Of Cores:    2
L2 Cache:    4 MB
Memory:    3 GB
Bus Speed:    667 MHz
What can I run on this, and more importantly, where can I get it from? I am loathe to throw out a perfectly functioning iMac and as this is my in-laws computer they can't really afford to buy a new iMac just because Apple doesn't allow "old" software versions to be installed... :-/
Any ideas would be welcome
Thanks,
Jacques

You can install Lion but nothing later. You can get Lion from the Online Apple Store - the URL for the USA Store is
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
Or you can just search for Lion. You will get a code which you can use to download and install it from the Mac App Store (10.6.8 required).

Run software in older version of OSX?

I have a CD of a video tutorial program that runs fine on my older (2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) MBP with 10.4.11, but won't work on my new (3.06 GHz C2D) MBP running 10.6.2
Any ideas for how to problem-solve getting the software to run on my new MBP?

Thomas,
if their:
I have a CD of a video tutorial program that runs fine on my older (2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) MBP with 10.4.11
it doesn't need Classic. Because a MacBook Pro can't run Classic.
Thus the reason for something not to be compatible with 10.6, while it is compatible with 10.4.11 must have something else the matter other than Classic compatibility. Usually it means it may needs either Rosetta or 32 bit computing. Sometimes though it might need to be upgraded for driver compatibility for Snow Leopard.
32 bit applications may fail to work in Snow Leopard, if either the System Preferences, or the application itself is set for 64 bit mode. Go to Applications and click once on System preferences. Select Get Info, and check if 32 bit or 64 bit is checked. If 64 bit is unchecked, it is running in 32 bit mode. Same for the tutorial application.
If we had the name of the video tutorial application, we could probably tell you which of these it might require. Or you could contact the author of the tutorial program.
See my user tip about Rosetta & Classic:

Can't download songs because itunes wants older versions of it 7.4 and 7.2

Okay here's my issue. I want to buy a new song from iTunes and most songs come up with this error. It says I need to download 7.2 or 7.4 versions of i Tunes, but I already have 7.5!! Plus everytime I open up iTunes it says I need to update to 7.5 even though I already have it. I thought iTunes must be running off of older versions of itself so I deleted all the old itunes set-ups exceot for the 7.5 versions. But I still keep getting all this updating problems still. Did I do something wrong and accidently erased 7.2 and 7.4 versions I still needed? If so, how do I re-download them??

hi,
I don't know exactly how to solve your issue. But iTunes really doesn't need any older versions to run in order to work properly. Therefore, you haven't done anything wrong by not keeping older versions. But when you download an iTunes update, you do not need to uninstall manually previous version. You should simple let the iTunes updater do its work.
It appears to me that somehow your system is beleiving that you still have a version older tan 7.2 despite the fact to you have 7.5 installed. This is why it is asking you to update. It may be related to your manual removal of your previous version.
Have you simply try to reinstall 7.5?

Can I run Safari 6 on an older version of OSX?
