HELP TO UNINSTALL SAFARI 4

As a lot of others users, as i've seen before, i've got troubles with Safari 4 on my G5. Safari 3 was working pretty well on it.
I' ve receive the update for Safari 4 and i 've done it.
I want to uninstall it and like a lot of other people,(using trash for pkg and plist)i am not able to install again Safari 3.
(It said : a more recent sofware is yet in use).
How to delete it fully ? How to get back my former version of safari ?
If you don't, do you know were to reach by mail Apple assistance because they are the source of the trouble ?
In all case thanks and happy new year from Avignon - South of France
BONNE ANNEE 2010 !!!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Instead of trying to uninstall Safari, you didn't mention any trouble shooting you may have tried. Try these tips and see if it makes a difference.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
*Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.*
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
If Safari still crashes, go to the Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.
If nothing above helps, download and install the 10.4.11 combo update available here.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
Make sure the start up disk has 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 you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
Check the startup disk for errors that might need repairing.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart

Problem uninstalling safari 4.0, need help!

Two months ago I had installed safari 4.0 on my win xp based system. After few days I was cleaning hard disks and removing temporary files. I have deleted
C:DOCUME~1username~1.000LOCALS~1TempIXP057.TMP
Folder and now when I am trying to uninstall Safari 4 then got problem. A windows Installer dialog box opens that says:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource or unavailable. I tried to remove it from control panel but no success. Now when I tried to install the safari 4, it also giving error and I can’t install safari 4. please suggest any idea to fix this problem!

Many thanks.
In the majority of cases of a missing .msi message (they can hit any software that uses Windows Installer), the msi in question is damaged rather than missing. It contains the installation database for the application (listing what and where all the files and registry entries are for the application) which is why trouble with an .msi causes uninstall trouble. So we have to get Safari uninstalled by other means than the Add or Remove Programs control panel.
These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Safari entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. In My Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
Open the "Program Files" folder.
Right-click on the "Safari" folder and select "Delete".
Your Safari 4.0.x should be gone now.

Uninstall Safari 4.1 and go back to 4.0

I think I need some help , I want to uninstall Safari 4.1 and install Safari 4.0.

You could try another method of reverting to an older version
of Safari, short of an 'archive & install + update' of 10.4.11.
A second method involves using Pacifist utility from Charlessoft.
This would run adequately in Demo mode, for free, and work:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Some ideas on that, are among the topics in this page:
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/07/troubleshooting-safari-5-0-eliminating-slowness- crashing-page-loading-problems-and-more/#downgrade
The details (versions involved) is different in the above page,
but the factors and methods would be similar to do the job.
I've reverted iTunes and a few other apps before, but some of
them need to have files or receipt/packages removed from a
place they may be hiding in the system, for to install again;
but with an integrated browser such a Safari, that may be hard.
But not impossible. And, there is the Archive & Install (+ update)
method; to give you a new system folder. If you approach that
carefully, the new folder/system would retain your current info.
Since my primary browser is not Safari, I often upgrade it last
among others, since installing that restarts my computer(s)
often at a time when I am not needing to restart them, yet.
{My Macs run for a month or more at a time; without shutdown.}
+What are the problems, exactly, you are having with Safari 4.1+
+and what have you tried to fix them, short of revert/remove it?+
If you have Safari set as the default browser, you can change it
and run with something else; maybe Camino, until you sort it out.
Good luck & happy computing!

How to uninstall Safari 4.0.3

I've been getting a lot of problems with the newly updated Safari... hanging pages (on facebook, onion and etc... all you get is a turning wheel, no crash windows, have to force quite and start again, the second time always works). And it also generating those .aspx files. And, on top of it, it is very slow. This has been the worst user experience I had with anything related to Mac...
I tried many suggestions I saw on this site... reset Safari included... nothing worked. I'd like to get rid of this version. Is there a good/right way to uninstall Safari?
Thanks.

Safari 4.0.3 works fine on Tiger; I'm running it and I have no problems. The problems you have are system issues: things that should have been done on a regular basis and certainly before installing any new software, but haven't been, so that is where the problems lie. Here are some things you can do to help yourself:
1. Quit Safari if it's running.
2. Go to System Preferences > Network > TCP/IP and in the DNS Server window, enter these two servers instead of the ones from your ISP:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
click Apply Now, and quit System Preferences.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
5. If you want to +*completely disable*+ the Top Sites (and Cover Flow) feature, open Terminal and copy/paste this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
8. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Disk Permissions and restart Safari. That should improve your browsing speed and resolve your other issues.

How do I uninstall safari 4 beta?

I am a new mac user so any help would be appreciated. I have a new macbook. I downloaded and installed safari 4 beta and don't like the problems it causes. I can't access hotmail. I can get in but can't open any of the emails. I also can't click and open links in emails. I want to uninstall safari beta 4 but don't know how. I'd like to go back to the previous version. Any help would be appreciated and remember I'm a newbie mac user so be gentle!

That would normally work if there was a previous version installed. However, I deleted all my previous versions and the Uninstaller will not uninstall Safari since it can't find a previous version. I downloaded an earlier version 3.2.3 but it tells me that I have a later version installed and won't install 3.2.3. Furthermore, whatever version I bring up has concierge in its header line which I can't get rid of either. Finally, Safari continues to crash even after I reset it, delete whatever concierge items I can find on my computer, etc. Help is disparately needed. Fortunately, I am an old Firefox user, and now trying Camino and Opera but I would like help in figuring out how to use Safari. Thanks.

slowhand2000,
Generally speaking uninstalling/reinstalling an OS X application is an ineffective way of dealing with a problem.
Before you undertake what you are contemplating, you may get some helpful tips here if describe what problems you are trying to solve, and the measures that you have taken so far.
You will also get better help if you fill in additional details about your system and hardware in "My Settings."

How to uninstall Safari 5.1

I just did the most recent Software update and installed Safari 5.1, but I am still running Snow Leopard. Big mistake. Several websites that are important to me are not working properly. Not happy at all.
How do I uninstall 5.1 and go back to 5.0.5?

Re: How to uninstall Safari 5.1
21-Jul-2011 15:05 (in response to Linc Davis)
Well, in my case, Safari 5.1 will not load ANY webpages whatsoever. Everything was fine, I installed the 5.1 update, did a reboot, and bang....nothing. Even http://www.apple.com/startpage/ won't load.
Good thing I had Chrome installed so I can look for help.

Thats exactly whats going with me since yestrday when I inst. 5.1

Uninstalling Safari 4

I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 4. On the loading setup page I get a blank 'Installer alert window'. This is a known issue and, according to Adobe, is because Safari 4 is installed and I should remove it and re-install 3.2. This I've tried to do without success.
I've followed previous posts about uninstalling Safari 4 by removing the .app and everything in the Library in Cache/Receipts etc as listed in the previous thread, but when I try to install Safari 3.2 I get the 'Can't install as a newer version is already installed' message.
Can anyone help solve the problem?
Thanks.

I had the same problem a few days ago and used finder to locate anything to do with Safari and trashed it, (keep .plist-bookmarks on desktop to reimport later)
That's completely unnecessary. You need only delete Safari 4.app and it's Receipt package in /Library/Receipts; nothing else should be touched, including your Bookmarks list.
Hodgerow wrote:
But trying to install Adobe Creative Suite still failed. So, I tried installing Safari 3.2 using the .dmg application and that again came up with the 'can't install because Safari 4.0 is installed' message!
If you deleted Safari 4 and it's Receipt(s), it is technically still installed, until you replace it with Safari 3.2.x. You do need to restart your Mac after you do that, and Repair Disk Permissions. Then, if Adobe CS4 still won't install, that's an Adobe issue; you should call or email them. Others are using CS4 with Safari 4, so there's really no reason why it shouldn't work for you, too.

How to uninstall safari in Lion

Hi there
Before I had some problems with Mountain Lion, I came back to Lion, but when I migrated my Time Machine backup, I had some compatibility problems with Safari, Mail ans iChat, and they are not opening now because of the version. I tried to reinstall the programs, but a message saying that the version I have is newer appeared and I couldn't install it.
Trying to uninstall the programs, I had problems saying that as the programs are required for mac os x it could'nt be uninstalled.
I tried to repair the permissions but it didn't work.
How can I uninstall Safari, Mail and iChat without problems to the system?
Thanks

How did you migrate your TM backup? You should have just started from the recovery drive, erase the hard drive, and do a full restore from TM from the last known good backup of Lion. Then everything would have been the correct versions.
The OS will probably not let you delete those applications directly, but you can try moving them to the desktop, then later to the trash when you replace them in the application folder from wherever you are getting the older versions.
But, if you really want to go back to before ML, I would just do a erase and full restore.
On the other hand, I find ML so much better than Lion. Why in the world would you want to go back. Maybe state what problems you have with Mountain Lion and someone else might have advise to help solve those problems.

Can anybody help? My Safari browser keeps crashing. The whole window just turns grey.

Can anybody help? My Safari browser keeps crashing on iMac 10.7.5. The whole window just turns grey. It started happening around the time of the new bookmarks menu upgrade recently which changed the bookmarks to be only on the side and makes it so you can see all your bookmarks while browsing. I know I have a lot of bookmarks, so I tried hiding them, but it still happens. I ALREADY TRIED CLEARING MY HISTORY, AND THAT DID NOT HELP, AND I HAVE NO EXTENSIONS FOR THIS BROWSER.
Does the fact that I am in Brasil have anything to do with it?
Thank you to anyone who can help. In case no one can come up with an answer, is there an easy way to transfer my bookmarks from safari to either firefox or chrome?
Much appreciated.

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are outside the safe harbor, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. Most of the real-world danger of malware attack comes from highly targeted "zero-day" exploits that are not yet recognized.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless a network administrator requires you to do it.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

How do you uninstall safari 5.1 and go back to 5.05

How do you uninstall safari 5.1 and g back to safari 5.05

Rather than fiddle with the tar file, if it wasn't saved, or using Pacifist, simply DL and install the
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. It'll wipe all Safari 5.1 components and install Safari 5.0.5.

Apple programs, Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari, Quicktime will not launch.

Recently we downloaded some upgrades from Apple and now Help, Mail, iTunes, Safari and Quicktime will not launch. The icon dances on the dock, and the operating system records the program as having opened, but the program does not come up and the icon menu on the dock still displays open rather than quit. I have tried re-installing the programs to no avail.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.
