Do I have the latest Safari compatible with my machine?

I am having trouble finding out if I have the best possible version of Safari for my machine. I have OS X 10.2.8 I have Safari 1.0.3 (v85.8.1)
The only download on Apple.com I can find is the new RSS that only works with the latest versions of OS X.
How can I update the Safari I have...or is it even necessary?

It's not your "machine" but your OS which is the limiting factor of course. I think the only way to upgrade your Safari is to upgrade your OS. As for whether it's necessary, it depends on what kind of features you need. Other browsers worth trying are FireFox and Opera.

  • Why doesn't FF make the latest Update compatible with a Power PC G4?

    I've got a Power PC G4 Mac, which apparently doesn't meet the System Requirements for the latest Update of Firefox: why not? In this Economy, I'm sure there are a lot of people like me still running Power PC's, yet now I can't even "suggest" to FF that they include us in the Update, because I "don't have the latest version"! I run my whole Office from my Mac, so it's still pretty darn good. What's with the disrespect?

    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    For an unofficial Firefox 10 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • Recently safari has been quit unexpectedly I've upgraded to snow leopard and I have the latest safari software. What can I do about it to rectify the problem?

    Recently Safari has been quitting unexpectedly. I've dumped my cache several times and even upgraded to snow leopard.l I have the latest version of Safari 5.0.5. The situation has gotten quite annoying and been going on for about three weeks now. What can I do to fix this short of bringing it to someone?
    I restart and it works fine for  awhile and then it quits again. I either restart and/or dump the cache AGAIN! This is getting quite tedious. I've even taken the battery out and reinstalled it. Nothing seems to stop the quitting.

    You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11.  iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can't upgrade without more RAM.
    MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."

  • Can you run both the latest Safari along with 4.0 beta?

    I'd like to play with the Safari 4.0 beta, but can't afford to lose my regular Safari along with its bookmarks, bank links etc.
    Can I run both on the same machine and just start up whichever one I want?
    P.

    Is there any possibility that the new Safari-4beta is causing my menus to freeze-up? I find my menu bars are often dead and I have to switch to another program-- even those are sometimes dead too, and after 30 seconds one comes to life, then they all do, but then go back to frozen again.
    I wouldn't put anything past Safari 4. Its mere presence causes the currency converter widget to give wrong answers.
    I tried to use the uninstaller, but it would not work; then I tried to just install Safari 3.2.1 - but it would't do this "Can't install since you have a newer version on your Mac"-- Safari 4 Beta did NOT do this on TIGER- but this was my weekend to switch to Leopard after 13 months of prepartion...
    If the unistaller won't work, I don't think there is any way to get back to the old Safari without either reinstalling OSX, or restoring from Time Machine (using the Utilities menu on the Leopard install DVD) and choosing a backup before you installed Safari 4.

  • Is the latest iMac compatible with external raid 1 drive setups?

  • How to upgrade i'Photo 4 to the latest version compatible with G5 iMac (Leopard 10.5.6)

    My fairly iMac G5 with Leopard 10.5.8 couldn't support i'Life 11 which needs a Intel chip.
    Could anybody help me to improve the technical features of i'Phot to the maximum possible ?
    The previous i'Life version is not available in the Store.
    Today using i'Photo 4.0.3
    Many thanks for any help.
    Benoit

    Unfortunately, I can't see that Apple make earlier versions of iLife available from the Support > Downloads section of their website. You will have to see if there are earlier versions of iLife available on eBay or Amazon. FWIW, iLife 2006 works fine on my G5, and possibly later versions too.

  • Is CS5 the latest version compatible with OS X 10.6.8?

    I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

    Hello,
    There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari).  They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end.  That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today.  BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
    The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
    Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

  • I have a powerbook G4 with macosx10.5.8 (as far as I know the latest possible OS with powerPC). Can I use Time Machine to restore my data on an Intel Macbook?

    I have a powerbook G4 with macosx10.5.8 (as far as I know the latest possible OS with powerPC). Can I use Time Machine to restore my data on an Intel Macbook?

    Well the newer TimeMachine model as stated in current Support pages isn't directly compatible on OS X 10.5 now, as noted in above link provided.
    What OS X does your newer MacBook have running in it? (Not linux?)
    With the current setup you have there may be a way -among other details in the support page- to do the migration of data from Mac, including a subnote on Time Machine, in a section below the main article with triangle by it,  from links here:
    •OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks 10.9:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5872
    •OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion 10.8 and Earlier:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4889
    In the support articles there are various troubleshooting and help items about the technology, some data back some time and whatever still stands would be there. Some archives are no longer current and say so.
    Perhaps someoone still using older PPC Macs and Leopard 10.5, will say how to backup into a G4 PowerBook, from a Time Machine.
    Unless the TimeMachine backup from the older PPC G4 PowerBook is used in the migration process of transferring personal account files from there to a new MacBook running (?) OS X. This probably could be done. You may be able to access older libraries, such as iPhoto, iTunes, etc and import them from the archive, to a newer Intel-based MacBook.
    Sorry for any confusion.
    I'll more carefully reply in the future.
    Good luck & happy computing!
