Can't launch Safari after upgrade to 10.5

Dang Upgraded to Leopard (OS 10.5) from 10.4.11. When launching Safari, it refused to start and sent me error message "PithHelmet version xxx.xx.x hasnt been tested with Safari 3.x so it won't launch."
After that, I have disabled and removed PithHelmet from the system. No go. I have tried indtalling new version of Safari after deleting ALL Safari files: No go. New Safari won't even install. It says "System need to be 10.5.2 or later" but I DO have 10.5.4 now!
What on earth can I do?

This is a common mistake, so you should take note to avoid doing this in the future. Just because a program isn't working for you is not a good enough reason to delete it, especially when you have no idea of the ramifications of your actions, which you and many others who have done this obviously didn't. You've created a lot more work and frustration for yourself, and you solved no problem.
If you want to install Safari, you cannot use a download, so you might as well trash it now; it will not work no matter what you do.
Instead, you need to do this, exactly:
1. Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
2. Navigate to the Optional Installs folder and open the Optional Installs.mpkg file. This will let you install Safari 3.0.4. When that's done, quit the installer and eject the disc.
3. Reboot your Mac and download the 10.5.4 Combo Update and install it again. When finished, use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, then restart your Mac and try Safari.

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.

Can't Access Safari after upgrading to Mavericks

I upgraded to Mavericks the other day and since then I have not been able to get on Safari or open any .pdf files. In addition, windows keep popping in asking for passwords that I have never seen before. I need my computer to work! Any suggestions?

You can spend a lot of time troubleshooting your problems, or you can cut to the chase and re-install Mavericks. Reboot from the Mavericks Recovery Drive by holding down Command+R or the option key when you reboot. Then from the Recovery Drive you can download and install Mavericks (OS X 10.9.10). Hopefully that will restore full functionlity to Safari and PDF files. As to the password requests can you be more specific in what passwords are requested?

Can't launch safari anymore.

I can't launch safari anymore. Not sure when the problem started. When I click on the icon, I get a message that says "safari.app is not supported." I installed OS X 10.5.3 today, and the problem is still there. Any suggestions?

The only thing I can remember doing in the last few months (since I last used Safari) was the regular software updates, including upgrading to Leopard from 10.3. I am pretty sure I used Safari successfully after upgrading to Leopard, but I'm not sure.
I also synched a palm device using Missing Sync in the interim (since last using Safari).
BTW, you can't imagine how frustrating it is to try to fix the problem without a usable web browser

Having Font Issues In Safari After Upgrading To Leopard

So...i'm having some font issues in Safari after upgrading to Leopard....
It works fine on my desktop but not on my laptop. They both run on Leopard.
Also, it works in Firefox but not Safari.
Here's some screens of what it looks like. This only pertains to any site that uses this font and it isn't uncommon, (sites like google, yahoo, and the WoW Forums)

Font settings:

Another pic of what it looks like on Google:

Anyways...any idea on how I can fix this?

I disabled the stencil font and deleted it. No luck here.
I ran a font validation check and this is what showed up, don't know if this means anything.

Can't launch Safari due to error message

I can't launch Safari anymore. It says it is missing some important resources and I have to reinstall Safari. I have done so, but it still does not work.
Here is the error message;
The procedure entry point SQLite3_wal.checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.
Can someone please help me? I have rebooted my computer, uninstalled Safari and reinstalled it without any luck.
Thank you very much

Just so you are aware, Apple no longer suports Safari for Windows.
If you don't want to use IE, try Firefox for Windows > Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
Much more user friendly than Safari.

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

I have seen comments from someone who indicated that every time they started Lightroom they were prompted for the serial number, even though they had already entered it. Is this your situation? I can't remember what the solution is, but I have seen that problem mentioned in the past.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
