Can not install Safari 3.1 although I run OS X 10.5.4

When trying to install the newest Safari 3.1 this is the message I get: "You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer.". And I do have OS X 10.5.4. I have tried several times, with fresh downloaded Safari files and get always the same message. And unfortunately I deleted the older Safari in the process, so now I have no Safari whatsoever. Anybody know what I need to do in order to install it?

I am ALSO in the same boat. I have OS X Leopard 10.5.4 with the latest software updates. I recently uninstalled Safari from my system because I wanted to exclusively use Firefox. I decided to reinstall it after about a week, so I went to Apple.com > Downloads, and downloaded the latest version of Safari. When I tried to install, I had the same problem as everybody else reporting this problem, by getting the following error message "You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer."
I ran the custom-install of Safari from my OS X Leopard install DVD, and when running "Sofware update" from the Apple menu in my OS, it tells me I have the latest software. So, once again, after I had Safari installed from my Leopard DVD, I downloaded the latest Safari pkg. from Apple.com, and it is giving me the same error.
WHY is this happening?? Why can't I upgrade from 10.0.4 to 10.1, even though I have Leopard and Safari installed again from the Leopard disk itself? I thought Apple's objective is to make everything so easy and hassle-free, unlike Windows/PC, which is why I switched nearly a year ago.

Can't install Safari 4 - 'Another user is running Safari'

I was running the Beta and loved it and want the 4.0 but I'm stuck.
After running the installer I get a continual alert that says words to the affect of 'Safari is being run by another user. Quit all running Safari applications to continue' which won't go away till I shutdown and restart. The installer just stalls and won't go any further. If I force quit every application the Alert keeps popping up till restart.
Any ideas, some old Safari Beta 4 file somewhere I can trash. Unfortuantly I don't have the uninstaller that came with it any longer.

Hello Paul:
I did not run the BETA Safari 4 (I NEVER use BETA software). I would suggest uninstalling the BETA Safari (that will put you back to Safari 3) and then downloading (again) Safari 4.

I can't install Safari!!!

A couple of months ago I had a Kernal panic. The panic seemed to be associated with letting the computer go to sleep, using a screen saver kept my computer up. After the panic opening safari would panic the computer immediately. So I uninstalled safari, and started using firefox.
I have since found and used and app called applejack which seems to have to cleared up my original problem.
But, I can not install Safari back on this machine. When I get to the point that I have to choose where to install safari, neither of hard drives can be used.
Any Ideas?

Hi
Thanks to Andy Ball in this forum, a simple method exists for installing Safari 2.0.4.
First, open Firefox and go to this site to obtain a zip file of Safari. On this site page, select "free", then on the following page you'll need to wait about 30 seconds for the target site options to appear. Select one of them, fill in the "alpha/numeric prompt", and the file will download.
After the new Safari application has mounted on your HD, go to the Finder and move the Safari.app to your Applications folder.
Go to the Utilities folder>Disk Utility and "repair permissions".
Drag a copy of Safari from your applications folder to the dock to create the icon.
Start Safari.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Actually, you cannot download Snow Leopard. You downloaded a Snow Leopard updater.

I can not install itunes on my computer. It tells me I need to update safari, and I have. Help please

I can not install itunes on my computer. It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that. Please help.

It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that.
That's an unusual message to be getting on a Windows system. (Typically it's a Mac itunes installation message.)
I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please, tamara.
Try another iTunes install. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

I can not install flash player activeX

Hi, For some reason I had to uninstall Flash Player Plugin Istaller Active X and Flash Player. Although he has performed all procedures and automatic aid two days have passed and I can not install the Active X control As part of the 'install it I get a notification saying actual words (translated from Italian into English):
The Adobe Flash Player ActiveX is not attempting to install the latest. Visit http://......................player_it to get the latest and most secure.
This message appears just downloading from the site recommended and everything is really frustrating. My OS is VISTA64x Home Premium and the problem persists on both IE8 IE8 x64 x32.
Also stress that I have not installed any ActiveX flash player so why do I feel that I try to install the version that is not especially since the most recent discharge from the link that that message would you recommend?
I hope someone is able to say once and for all how to solve this problem.
Sincerly Jinjetto

Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.
Thanks,

HT5568 I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

Safari is part of OS X 10.7.5, and your downloads should be via  > Software Update...
Can you provide some details on why you're trying to download Safari? Did Safari get deleteed from the dock or from the /Applications folder? Is Safari failing somehow?
There are ways to re-load Safari using the standard updates, if so. That usually involves re-applying the combo update kits, but I'd not start with that as a suggestion without knowing a little more about what's causing you to seek to re-download Safari...
And FWIW, and this may well be obvious to you, but — based solely on your phrasing, as I don't know how familiar you are with this stuff — recognize that sites claiming to offer {Safari or other web browsers, video codecs, flash players, system performance accellerators, anti-virus software, cache cleaners, games, whatever} can be distributing malware for OS X. Once the tool is downloaded and installed and authenticated, then the tool can do whatever it wants. Put another way, please don't try downloading Safari from anywhere. Please get Safari only from the Apple web site.

HT1338 i can not open safari and it says safari quit unexpectedly

i can not open safari and it says safari quit unexpectedly

Right or control click the Safari app in the Applications folder then click Get Info
If you see version 5.1.6 or 5.1.7 in the Get Info panel, updating to Safari 6 may help.
Apple has not posted a standalone Safari 6 installer, but there is a work around.
Click here > Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
Then click the link posted by: gregoryfromcork
That will automatically download this file > Safari6Lion.pkg.download
Now quit Safari.
Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
Then restart your Mac, try Safari.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Can not install device driver in Windows 8.1

I can not install driver of my webcam(Odyssey OD 202) windows 8.1 (upgraded from windows 8)
The USB webcam is shown in Device manager.
When I attempt to update driver and search for it automatically it shows the following message.

Hi Atanu Barai,
There may be a compatibility issue between the Microsoft driver and the device . I agree with ZigZag ,you may need to download the driver from the manufacturer website .Please pay attention to the compatibility ability issue with the
Windows 8.1 when you try to download the driver.
If the issue persists, try to plug in the device with another USB port to have a check .To verify whether it is caused by the USB controller ,we can try to connect another USB device to have a check.
Meanwhile ,please check the Event Viewer for related information.
Best regards
