Can't install safari, says my system is too old but it isn't

After my last post I've tried to reinstall safari, and my current system is 10.5.3, but the installer says I need a system of 10.5.2 or later.

Okay, here's your first common mistake: you're deleting things without understand how it will affect anything else. Bad idea. You need to stifle the reflexive urge to delete something just because it may not be working properly. More often than not, you'll just make things worse.
If you want to reinstall Safari 3.1.1, you need to go to your Users/Username/Library/Receipts folder and remove the Safarixxx.pkg file.
Now insert the Mac OS X install disc labeled Optional Installs and find the package labeled Safari on that disc and install it. Then use Software Update to bring that version current to 3.1.1. In the future, stop deleting things unless you know exactly what you're doing and how it will affect everything else.

  • Can't install os mavericks because don't have macbook air flash storage firmware update 1.1; can't install firmware update because OS is too old (10.7.4)

    Hello, I have a Macbook Air, bought May 2012 or so that came with OS 10.7.4 on it.  Did not try to upgrade OS until recently.  Tried to upgrade to OS Mavericks, however received error message 'Before installing OS X Mavericks this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1."  I then downloaded and attempted to install said Firmware Update 1.1, but received another error message, to wit: "This update requires 10.7.5 or 10.8.5 or later"
    Who can help me out the this Catch-22?  I thought about first updating to OS 10.8, but apparently that is no longer available?

    Hi CursedIn,
    If the Firmware update required for Mavericks requires 10.7.5 to install, you may be able to download it directly from the following link:
    OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)

    I've been reading lately about Apple's ongoing battle with Adobe over mobile apps and Flash. What I've gotten from all of it is that Apple wants to develop a mobile format replacement to Flash, and Adobe wants to block it. Apple's contention is that Flash is too bulky and consumptive for mobile apps and content. Apple has barred any mobile apps for iPhone and iPad from containing any Flash code, and Adobe says that has hurt their development of SDKs for people who want to make iPhone apps. It's turned into a regular peeing contest.
    I would have to assume that Apple iPhone, DROID, and Windows Mobile all have the same issue with Flash content and software, since they all have to fall within the standards for mobile communications in order to be "universally accessible" by all the companies that make PDAs, tablets, and phones.
    I've yet to see a Flash Player download for Windows Mobile, and given the current environment, with HTML 5 coming soon, it's not likely I will.

  • Can we install TREX on our system

    Hi, we have installed TREX on a system with release number 700, can we install it on a system with release number 620 ?

    Hi,
    In the documentation it says;
    Configuration of the RFC connection with the TREX admin tool (stand-alone) is only available as of
    SAP Basis Component SAP_BASIS 6.20 SP58, 6.40 SP16, and 7.0 SP6.
    Don't worry if you patch level is lower.
    It means that you can not generate RFC-connection to you 6.20 system automatically.
    The same documentation says:
    If you are using TREX with an SAP system based on an earlier support package,
    you have to configure the RFC connection manually as described in the SAP NetWeaver 04 Installation Guide
    for Search and Classification (TREX) 6.1.
    You can find this guide on the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/instguides
    - SAP NetWeaver Release 04
    - Installation
    - Cross-NW
    - Installation Guide Search and Classification TREX 6.1.
    You can find this information

    Then the following path:
    - Search and Classification.
    - TREX 7.0 for SAP Netweaver 7.0.
    - TREX Configuration.
    - Post-installation Configuration.
    - Server side.
    - Configuration of the RFC connection.
    - Configuring the RFC connection in the TREX admin tool.

  • Phantom restarts / crashes with Maverick. Restore Disk Utility, disk can't be repaired says "live system repair is not supported" Is there a fix yet? Or is Maverick "FREE" because Apple no longer offers free phone support?

    Phantom restarts / crashes with Maverick. Under restore Disk Utility, disk can't be repaired says "live system repair is not supported" Is there a fix yet? Or is Maverick "FREE" because Apple no longer offers free phone support?

    Get onto the integrated iOS + Mac OS and end support for "legacy" Mac 10.8 and earlier.
    Force older hardware users like me to upgrade to new hardware which is where $$ are.
    Make apps work across tablets, phone, and computer with similar (though not the "same" app, but able to read and use the same file format).
    Simplify.
    I don't think anyone incl. Microsoft knew Windows 8.1 was going to be a free upgrade, I didn't and read that it would be more like $30.
    No OS is ready for everyone on the day it is launched. iOS 7 is now 7.04 and climbing, Mac OS tends to really not be ready until the last patch and version is out, often a year or more after it was first issued. Ship it, then plan to fix the bugs left in or that surface.
    www.macperformanceguide.com is saying "No" to Maverick for now. Of course there will be no "No" on new Mac Pro 2013 6,1 when those ship (Late Jan? )

    I erased my HD and could not install lion. if I turn on the mac now all I see is a folder with a question-mark. How can I install a new operation system?

    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • 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.

    Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Purchased Mountain Lion, but can't install on Mavericks OS...Paid for but Can't install

    Purchased Mountain Lion, but can't install on Mavericks OS...Paid for but Can't install

    You can't install an older OS over a newer one. So you'll get a message saying you can't install ML until you erase the drive.
    I'm presuming you already have the full Mountain Lion installer on your drive.
    Download DiskMaker X. Use it, the ML installer, and an 8 GB flash drive to create your own bootable ML installer. Boot to the flash drive when it's ready. From there, you'll get the same minimal work screen as when you boot into Recovery Mode. Use Disk Utility to erase the drive, then install Mountain Lion. Restore your personal data.
