Can't re-install same version of Safari
Safari wasn't launching at all on Tiger 10.4.11, worked fine until now. Restarted computer, trashed the Safari prefs, etc. No go. I Trashed the app with AppDelete. Downloaded the same version 4.1 for tiger and dialogue box said that a newer version is already installed on this volume. Newer version ? I trashed it and it is the same version I want to install. Now I had to resort to Firefox until this is fixed.What files of the trashed version are still lurking in there ?
HI,
If you are running either v10.4 v10.5, follow the instructions here to do an Archive and Install.

Make sure there is enough free disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

Can't install any version of Safari for my Dad
I'm visiting my dad, and trying to get Safari installed for him. Somehow he managed to trash it - we're not sure how. Now I can't install any version of Safari. 1.x is too old. He's running OSX10.4.10 so 2.0.1 doesn't work either. I really don't even want to put 3 on here - he's a very basic user and doesn't need beta headaches.
The only disks we have are the system disks ... do I have to reinstall an old version of system to get Safari working for him?Hi
Have a look at this Apple article for installing other software, including Safari, from the Tiger DVD - see the section titled More custom reinstallation options with Mac OS X 10.4.
Steps to take in addition to the Apple article:
Move the Safari.pkg file in the HD>Library>Receipts folder to the trash.
As a precaution, prior to reinstalling Safari, move the Safari Folder, found in the User Library to the Desktop. It has the personal bookmarks, history etc. Once the reinstall is completed, move the folder back to its original location writing over the newly created folder.
Remember too, the version of Safari you install will be specific to the Version on the installer DVD. Therefore, either run Software Update and see if Safari updates appear. If not, reapply the 10.4.10 combined update to bring Safari up to the current version.
Repair permissions via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder when you are finished. -
How can I install a version of Safari compatible with MacOS 7.5
At some point I downloaded and installed Safari 6.0.2 on a MacBook Pro (4.1) running OS 10.7.4. When I tried to open it, an error message appeared stating that this version of Safari is incompatible with OS 10.7.x and is compatible with OS 10.8. Since then I updated to OS 10.7.5. After completing the update the iCloud System Preferences automatically opened. Next to the Bookmarks Icon was a button saying "Install Safari." Pushing this button brings me to a webpage that appears to be advertising copy for Safari but seems to lack any option for downloading Safari. Searching for an OS 10.7.5 compatible version I came across a page with quite a number of Safari downloads at Apple - Support - Downloads. This page offers dowloads of Saafari for earlier versions of Safari, but not for an OS 10.7.x compatible version of Safari. What is the solution? If I upgraded to OS 10.8 or OS 10.9 would I gain access to Safari once again? I'd be most appreciative of any help with this issue. Thanks.

Why can't I install newer version of iTunes on my Windows Vista Home Premium?
Hi!

HT5436 where can i download the latest version of safari
Where do you download the latest version of safari at?
I thought reinstalling Safari also ...
By using iCloud.com or Outlook.com, I get a message that my browser is not compatible with the iCloud.com . But I use the latest versions of Safari and OS X
- Safari is Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11)
- OS X 10.9.1
- Mac (27-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iTunes 11
I have another Mac 20-inch Dual Core , older than this, but with the same versions of Safari and OS X and everything works ok.
I tried the Apple support, and they guided me to do the cleaning and repairing disk permissions, but that did not work!
That is, I'm unsure what to do! Has anyone gone through this problem? Any suggestions?
Thank you -
My I phone got an update and I have lost my you tube, You tell me that I can download you tube, can I get the same version, so I don't have to learn something new? Also, how do I get rid of Passbook?
YouTube is no longer native in iOS. There are loads of posts on this, so the search bar can be your friend. There is a YouTube app in the App Store. Download it and you'll have YouTube.
You can NOT get rid of Passbook. It is a new Apple Native App and is built into the iOS. If you don't like it, you can put in a folder or on another page, but you can't delete anything Native. -

Can't install a version of Safari compatible with OS 10.7.4
Both my MacBook Pro and MacPro are running )S 10.7.4. The version of Safari on my Mac Pro is more recent (6.0) than the one that was on my MacBook Pro. So I thought to update Safari on the MacBook Pro and I downloaded and installed Safari 6.0.3 It turns out, of course, that I can't use this version of Safari with OS 10.7.4 but there was no warning to this effect when I started the installation. I had a retained a downloaded version of Safari 5.1`.7 for Lion and tried to install it, but when I did an error message appeared stating that I could not install it since I had a newer version of Safari already installed. So this appears to be a Catch 22 sityuation in which I have installed an unusable version of Safari installed on my computer and it won't let me install a usable version. The fact is that I'm not going to install OS 10.8.x anytime soon, because some software that I use in my work is currently incompatible with the newer OS. What I have done for the moment is make Chrome my default browser. But I would be most appreciative if someone could tell me how to uninstall Safari 6.0.3 and renistal Safari 5.1.7 for Lion on my MacBook Pro. Thanks!
You ought to have 10.7.5 and the latest security update on both Lion macs, in which case 6.0.3 should work, or at least allow installing it again, assuming it was the Safari6.0.3Lion.pkg you used.
Failing that, (and it worked very well when I briefly tested rolling back from 6.0.2 to 5.1.7)... there is a 'repair' package that is intended to remove a broken 6.0.3 & revert to the previous version
http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/49/44/041-8709/a8wz12kl2lfw6574aeff3gsde8twub3z7x/Safari6.0.3LionRepair.pkg
use at your own risk, and back-up first. -
Install two versions of Safari on the same Mac?
Is it possible to install two different versions of Safari on the same Macintosh? It looks like we'll need to test for both Safari 1.x and Safari 2.x. Or will we need to use two different computers?
One poster has said he had both Safari 1.2 and Safari 2.0.x running on the same machine under OS X 10.4.x, and another poster said he could not install Safari 1.2 under OS X 10.4.4. So I don't know if its possible or not. Even if you do get both installed, you may not see all of the differences you would in running Safari 1.2 or 1.3 under OS X 1.3.x and Safari 2.x under OS X 10.4 because if both are running under the same version of OS X, then both are using the same underlying Webcore technology. Some differences would still be apparent. The person who claimed to have both versions installed claimed that Safari 1.2 worked with some site he needed to use while Safari 2.x did not.

Hey anybody,
Neither myself (running on PC windows vista 32 bit) or my friend (on a mac) are able to install versions of iTunes around 10.5 or higher successfully. This leads me to believe the problem isn't necessarily with our computers and there may be something wrong elsewhere. I'm not a computer wiz but I have tried most of the advice on these forums e.g. Uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting temporary files, expanding files and trying individual downloads and more. I can install older versions of iTunes where they use to combine it with QuickTime with no problems however this is no good to me or my friend because only versions 10.5 and up come with support with iPhone 4S and that's what we need. I managed after several attempts to install iTunes 10.52 but without the apple mobile device so therefor the iTunes wouldn't connect to my phone or recognise it, apple sync notifier also has problems and fails to start.
Please can someone help me with this, I have tried everything on the apple troubleshooting pages so please don't link me those. Or please can iTunes and apple do something in an update that corrects this problem because I know many people are having similar issues. I only bought this phone for the music and at the moment I feel cheated because I wouldn't have these problems with any other phone because I'd just be able to drag and drop.Hi there,
I had the same experience. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, with Windows 7 Home Edition, 32 bit.
I tried to install iTunes 10.5 and it started installing, then, just before the end of the process, came up with the following error message:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Of course, no information on what the program that couldn't be run was! At first I tried the usual stuff, like scanning for viruses etc. but nothing doing. Then I started Googling. In the end, I uninstalled all Apple stuff from my computer. A lot of it I had to do manually, going in to the program files drive and deleting stuff from there, but some of it wouldn't delete as it was saying it was open in Windows Explorer. In the end, I managed to delete the iTunes folders by selecting one of my mp3 tracks saved on the computer and right clicking 'open with'. I then browsed my pc to locate the iTunes folders still outstanding and was able to right click and delete them that way.
Then emptied the recycle bin and did a restart before going online and downloading iTunes 10.5.
Thankfully it worked, but its taken me a good few hours and made me really quite tetchy! I've never had this problem before, so I hope this is going to be a one off.
One thing that doesn't seem to be working is that, despite how many times I tell it that my preference is for the iTunes Media folder to be located on my external hard drive, it keeps putting it back to the C drive! Didn't have that issue with the last version. Grrrrrr. Arrrrgggh.
Hope you manage to get yours sorted - this is affecting a lot of people by the look of things. -
How can I download an older version of Safari (5.0.5 or lower)?
To run software with an AP French textbook, I have to download an older version of Safari. 5.0.5 is the newest version I could use. How can I find an appropriate version to download? This is to use www.successnetplus.com with Allons au dela.
Hi Katy
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110722154439693
or
http://www.macworld.com/article/161367/2011/07/revert_safari.html
but download 5.0.5
which is forcing the install using Pacifist from http://charlessoft.com/
or
(re)install the 10.6.8 1.1 combo (1+ GB) which does overwrite safari 5.1 with 5.0.5
followed by checking software update
the first is quickest, but requires using Terminal
another browser is easiest if you can find something suitable, since you'll retain the latest safari. -
How can I download the latest version of Safari? Exact instructions.
How do I download the latest version of Safari? I keep getting a message that my current version is no longer supported. Isn't there something I can just click on? I can't see how to actually download it (gen x, not as smart as I once was ), but please help me anyway.
You may have to settle for as recent of version of Firefox, as your OS X 10.6.8 will allow.
Even an older archived Firefox would be more recent than Safari from that era.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
see:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
The method to get a later version of Safari, would be to see if the computer can be upgraded
to a later fully new OS X which includes a period-correct Safari version. That's about it.
And an upgrade to a later OSX may compromise the kind of computing experience you'd
found acceptable with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I'd consider a later computer, as a vehicle to
access later OS X versions, and keep the older computer (with backups) in Snow Leopard.
The online App Store may suggest a later OS X version than you have. The latest it may
(or not) support is Yosemite. That would likely require a RAM upgrade and perhaps a new
hard disk drive of faster rotational speed, or perhaps an upgrade to SSD, to add speed to
allow the bulkier newer OS X to work OK. Then you may need to get newer applications.
Other available OS X versions, not as new as Yosemite, would be available by purchase
in the Apple Store online. A code would be sent to your email, to unlock these downloads.
If you fall into the potential upgrade trap, be sure to create viable external clone or bootable
copy of your current system on external device; and have backup Time Machine archive, too.
In any event... there isn't a newer Safari for Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Good luck & happy computing!
