Correct version of Safari

Ok, I need an opinion. Like most of the people on this forum, I recently upgraded to Safari 5. I did so through Software Update. Since I fixed a small problem which was caused by a bad cookie it has been working great. Now I come to realize that Software Update downloaded version 5.0 but I'm running SL and the SL version is 5.0.5. Now I'm faced with making the decision of whether I should install 5.05 or should I just leave well enough alone Seeing as it't working so well with 5.0. I would appreciate input from people who are knowledgeable and have installed 5.0.5. I don't want to install 5.0.5 and mess up a good thing. Thanks.

HI,
There isn't any update version Safari 5.0.5 for Snow Leopard.
With the Safari app open, from the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/About Safari.
The version number is 5.0 (6533.16).
There's nothing to update.

About Safari 6.1.1 for OS X Mountain Lion
This site says that Safari 6.1.1 is the version for Mountain Lion.

What version of Safari should be running on OSX 10.7.4?

I recently upgraded a macbook to 10.7.4. The na transfered some files via Migration Assistant. Now Safari won't run. I tried reinstalling i0.7.4 but it didn't help. The version of Safari on the macbook now is 5.1.7. Is this correct and if not where can I get the right one? I'ts not available on Apple.com except as part of the 1-.7.4 upgrade and I tried that. If it's not the version why is Safari crashing and how can I fix it? Thanks very much.

On my OS X 10.7.4 system, Safari is Version 6.0 (7536.25).

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!

HT4550 how do i download the newest version of safari?

How do I download the newest version of Safari software?

If what you indicated is correct, you are using Mac OS X 10.7.5, so the most recent Safari version for Lion is Safari 6.
Safari 6.1 is available for OS X Mountain Lion, and Safari 7 is only available for OS X Mavericks, so if you want to upgrade Safari, you will have to upgrade OS X. See > http://www.apple.com/osx

Need to enable java and correct version of Java to download

Hi!
I need help to find the correct version of Java to download for a Safari 6.0 for my Macbook Pro. Also, how do I enable Java in Safari?

I would recommend reaching out to one of the global partners listed here, Adobe Connect Partners, and see if they can help you.

When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

Download older version of safari

My company has a Bill Pay service which, as I understand was tested successfully with Safari 5.0. The vendor who supplies it says that they support Safari 5.0, but we have a user with the latest version of Safari who cannot use the service. He refuses to try Firefox or Chrome as alternatives to Safari. He asked one of our staff if it was possible to download an older version of Safari, the one that is supposed to work correctly. I have no idea where he would look for that, or why Safari was updated, so going back to the previous version could open him to security risks.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bill

You cannot use an earlier version of Safari without installing an earlier version of OS X with which it would be compatible.

What is the best version of Safari for an iMac G5 with Tiger?

I upgraded an iMac G5 to Tiger. Safari crashes often and does not support many new web sites, particularly those requiring Flash. Any suggestions? I have tried Opera and Camino both of which have problems when Flash is required.

The final version of Safari for Tiger was 4.1.3.
Safari 4.1.3 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
As regards Flash:
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
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.

Help with m.website versions on safari on my iPad.. Help

My question is a bit diff bit you might be able to help me never the less. I just don't get m. Site versions).. I dont like the m. versions on safari when I use facebook for example. As of today every time I log into Facebook from the safari website it looks like the app version, which is odd. It never did that before. I looked at the browser bar and it shows http://m.facebook.com and not http://www.facebook.com as it used to show and be on my safari browser
. How do I get ride of the automatic m.facebook and go back to www.facebook.com version Does it make sense? Please HELP maybe you can help. I use iPad.

Hi Jonathan, first, at the bottom of the safari "web browser" it doesn't give me the version of full site or desktop browser. It usd to until tonight, which is what's odd.
Second, you don't need to be sarcastic with your 3rd point on me getting a job with Facebook.
3rd thank you for the info
4th, I have download chrome and now it's using full website version and no the (m. Version) on Facebook, only downside that chrome is very slow...
Facebook was always identifying it self as iOS safari yet I could still used he full version on the browser, now it doesn't work. And it always shows www.m.blahblah.com etc... It used to always show. Www.blahblah.com without the m. I front. That is what is bothering...
As I am not a tech geek, I thought I'll as for help...that's what this forums are for correct,

Installing earlier version of Safari

I've had a lot of trouble with Safari 5 (using all my installed memory within two hours). I decided to go back to Safari 4 and downloaded it. However, it won't let me install it, telling me "You already have a later version of Safari on this volume". How do I go about installing Safari 4?

Klaus1 wrote:
Those who prefer not to continue using the fastest, safest version of Safari (5.0.5) and want to revert back to an older version (and can accept the security risks in so doing), rather than find out how to correct their faulty system, can do so by performing an archive and install using their original install disks (Note: this is for Tiger and Leopard users only):
How to Archive & Install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Then update Safari to version 4 from your backup copy of the installer. You can also download the version for your system from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL877
Is that the only way? An archive and install would take HOURS (it always does - there's the Install itself, then there's the Combo Update, then there's all the Java and Security updates, then there's upgrading iTunes, and finally upgrading Safari - it makes me tired just to think about that, let alone giving up the use of my computer for the best part of a day). Can I not quit Safari and trash the app, then try and install Safari 4 (leaving my bookmarks and top sites in situ)?
Klaus, you will be aware of my main problem with Safari 5, as you've posted in that thread. Nothing has worked, Safari 5 still uses all my memory and I have to quit and relaunch about three times each day. If I could resolve the Safari 5 problem, it would be by far the best solution, but have you any other ideas about that?

I did everything I was to install it correctly but it still does not install it correctly. Can some help me. Bob

Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

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

use at your own risk, and back-up first.

My Snow Leopard 10.6.3 has Safari 4.0.4 but this cannot be used for the new features of iTune. 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?

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.
