Cannot download Safari 6 on my 10.6.8 Snow Leopard laptop.
Is there some reason I cannot download the Safari 6 upgrade on my computer? I just downloaded the 5.1.10 version, but I'm having problems on other websites now. They told me to download Safari 6. I tried, but it's not available????
Thanks for your help!
Yes, but it's on other websites. I just changed my browser and it solved the problem, for now.
Thank you!

Cannot download OSX Maverick? My current system is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and even when logged into the app store I'm getting the message that I can not download at this time. Try Later?
Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future. -
My Snow Leopard 10.6.3 has Safari 4.0.4 but this cannot be used for the new features of iTunes. I tried upgrading to Safari 5.1.7 but it needs Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Where can I get a version of Safari 5.1 that is compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.3?
Hi..
here can I get a version of Safari 5.1 that is compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.3?
Not possible. You need to update to v10.6.8
Click your Apple menu > Software Update
Or update using the this download > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac. -
Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there? When called by the Imac (newest), the "accept" or "reject" radio button appears for me to click and connect. On my wife's Ipad the two radio buttons always appear when a call actiivates Facetime and comes on?
There is nothing I can find in "Preferences" in Facetime to turn that on or off. I suspect it has to do with having a more current operating system; that the "controls" are in the operating system? [I'm guessing] It's frustrating getting Facebook calls from several friends on Ipads! Any ideas...VFPI suspect it has to do with not having a more current operating system
Exactly, what Apple is doing is leveraging new features only on newer OS X versions to force you to upgrade OS X to 10.7 or later.
What they don't tell you is 10.7 or later will NOT run your PowerPC based software, some of it you can't get Intel versions like for perfectly working printers, scanners and games etc. So it can be a very expensive OS X upgrade to 10.7 or later with third party software.

Also they don't tell you is the risk in bricking your machine if the update goes badly, so you have to have AppleCare in case that occurs so it's on them to fix it. Else your paying money to replace the logicboard or buying a new machine prematurely.
A four year old machine can't have AppleCare, it's only good for 3 years from date of purchase new.
Your machine came with a boot hard drive, it's usually got about 4-5 years of life on it, then it needs to be replaced.
Also they don't tell you the newer OS X version has more abilities and features that causes your machine to slow down in performance, especially on older machines.
Also they implement new, idotic and extremely fustrating new user interface features in a arbitrary "you take it or leave it" manner with little or no fall back method.
So upgrading OS X is a gamble on older machines that otherwise would likely work perfectly fine for the next 5 years if one didn't need to have to mess with it.
Since Snow Leopard has slightly over 25% OS X version market share, your still good for security updates etc for the next few years if you just want to stay where your at and be happy.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
The Lions are, well, not so welcome due to Scott Forstall retard UI issues, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is likely going to fix things a bit better.
But basically what is occuring is Apple is trying to force a faster hardware upgrade cycle with the more expensive products by leveraging features on the smaller devices that expire sooner.
Apple is a hardware company that leverages whatever it can to get you to buy more hardware, it's why they are as rich as they are. -
After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this?
If you have this product,

you have to go back to Snow Leopard.

I have been trying to download l OS X Mavericks to upgrade from snow leopard. I had a miss download right now in my tool bar there is a OS X Mavericks Icon that says-Waiting... this has been there for 4 hours when I click on it, cancel donwload? or (pause grayed out) or the options.

The installer is over 5Gb's and could take many hours to download.
Check the download status in the App Store application. -

It might have to do with the way Safari works on the Internet and the rash of attacks occuring

I also booted up Safai today which I hardly use and it was incredibly slow as well.
I don't know if it's Safari or me not using it for such a long time.
If the above fixes don't work, all I can suggest is to use Firefox or whatever until this attack thing blows over and see after that. -

Using Internet Exploer / Cannot download Safari
Im currently using th IMAC OS X 10.1.5. Web pages wont load correctly and no videos can be played. I want to download Safari but the apple web page will not load for me to download it. please someone help me!! What can I do to update my internet browser!!
ThanksHello pstep,
You might want to have a read of Software Update Upgrade: What's the Difference? which will help you understand the difference.
Yes, you will need to purchase an upgrade. Cornelius is correct in suggesting that 10.1 is barely a beta version of the OS and you really should upgrade (I also would suggest finding a copy of Panther 10.3). You can find copies on ebay or from resellers such as fastMac.com etc.
Sorry, I don't know of another browser that you can use instead that will work with 10.1 but you might want to do a search on the web for "OSX browsers 10.1" and see if any turn up. Make sure to download only the version for your version of OSX. If you were trying to download Safari 3 it wouldn't work for 10.1 anyways as it takes 10.4 at least I think. The last version of Safari that works for 10.3 is Safari 1.3.2. Personally, if you do upgrade to Panther you should download Camino 1.6.6 as it is still being updated for Panther.
hope that helps some,
LS
edit: Here is some good advice in this thread.

Cannot download Safari, OS not recent enough?
I was trying to download Safari 3.1.2 from Apple's page, and when I tried to install, it said it could not because it requires an operating system of 10.5.2 or later, but I'm running 10.5.5. Is there something I'm doing wrong or need to install something else first?
The current Safari version is included with your version of Mac OS X; if you need to install or reinstall it, use the original disks followed by the combo updater.

Safari does not start after upgrading to Snow Leopard
Hi,
I just updated my iMac to Snow Leopard. Everything works fine except for Safari.
If I open Safari, it says: You cannot use this version of Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3 (translated from Dutch).
In About my Mac I see that the version of OS X is 10.6.1.
Software Update says my system is Up to date.
So I downloaded Safari from the Apple site with Firefox and ran the install.
The install of Safari says in the Select Target Volume screen: Safari cannot be installed on this Disk. For this update Mac OS X 10.5.8 of higher is needed (translated from Dutch). But I have 10.6.1! Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this without loosing all my settings?
Thanks in advance!
Daniel from AmsterdamGreetings,
Don't waste your time downloading Safari from the Apple web site; it won't work, no matter what you do, since it's not for Snow Leopard.
From what you describe, it sounds like you (or someone else) may have moved Safari from where it belongs, and therefore it wasn't updated when you installed Snow Leopard, which would cause the current version it sees to not run.
Where, exactly is Safari located on your system? Safari must be at the top level of the /Applications folder; it cannot be anywhere else or it won't work properly when updating the OS. -
Safari and Mail won't open in Snow Leopard
Any else having this VERY frustrating problem of Safari and Mail not opening. I've installed Snow Leopard and downloaded and installed the 10.6.1 update. Then when I try to open Safari, it says, "You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3." When I try to open Mail, it says the same thing. I downloaded Safari again, and it won't even install it saying, "Safari can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer." But I have 10.6.1.
Help. Anyone? Please?
ThanksHI,
Try launching Safari and Mail from the Applications folder. If it works, drag the Safari and Mail icons off the Dock. Just drag straight up. They'll go poof.
With Safari or Mail open, select the icon in the Dock/Keep in Dock.
If that doesn't help, locate these files.
com.apple.Mail.plist
com.appple.Safari/plist
Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

How do I satisfy request to upgrade browser - version of Safari no longer supported? I have a mac, snow leopard, ver. 10.6.8 & I have no extensions & upgraded software from Apple pull-down menu. Msg is still there.
You need to upgrade the computer's OS or switch browsers.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Text messages in Safari are garbled on Mac Pro after Snow Leopard install
When reading or composing my Yahoo mail text messages in Safari on my Mac Pro after Snow Leopard, the wording is very garbled. Looks like o's, s's, c's, some caps, with lots of spaces intermixed. Messages look ok on Firefox, on same machine. New messages and reading sent messages look ok on my MacBook and MB Air. When cutting and pasting into something else (like this window), the text looks fine. I can compose and send messages that look garbled, but the right words and letters go out. HTML messages look ok. Any clues for solution?
I have this happening in bunch of different HTML pages. Here's a screenshot of the same page in Safari (Version 4.0.3 (6531.9)) and Mac OS X 1.6.1 side by side with Camino:
https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/362958/miscwebimages/Screen%20shot%202009-09-22%20at%2018.35.47.png
Camino renders the page correctly. Safari is really unusable with this problem. Tried switching to and from 64-bit mode in Safari, didn't help either.
