How can I undo the update to Safari 5.1?

The update to Safari 5.1 caused my favorite Sudoku widget to stop working.  This happened twice on two separate computers (Mac Pro desktop and MacBook Pro laptop); both had been running Mac OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.0.x before SW Update installed Safari 5.1 instead last week.  I'm not sure what the connection is between the widget and Safari, but In both cases, the widget worked fine immediately before the upgrade from Safari 5.0.5 or 5.0.6 to Safari 5.1 and stopped working immediately after.  Safari 5.0.x worked fine under OS 10.6.8.  However, when I downloaded and reinstalled Sarari 5.0.6 from Apple's website, I received a message that that version (5.0.6) couldn't be used with this OS, which is still 10.6.8.  The message is obviously not true, since they've been running happily together for several weeks now.  I got the same message when I attempted to restore Safari 5.0.5 from Time Machine on the MacPro. 
(I tried downloading and reinstalling the widget, but it still doesn't work under Safari 5.1.  Switching to a different Sudoku widget is no good because I really don't like the game design.)
I know the widget is third party - I'm not asking Apple to make Safari 5.1 work with it - but there should be a way to undo the 5.1 update and return to the version that used to work. 
For reference, I've experienced no other problems with Safari 5.1 except an inexplicable preference for opening links in Internet Explorer (which, last I heard, hasn't been supported for the Mac environment since IE v. 5.)
Thanks for any help,
CS

Thanks for offering to help, kisuke3.  Unfortunately, neither safe mode nor a new user account solves the problem.
I just received this information from the Chemical Abstracts Service that provides the web-based SciFinder chemical structure and literature search software.  I'm not using OS X Lion, so I'm not sure if the comment about Safari 5.1 being "unable to run Java-based applications" applies under OS 10.6, but it might explain my problem?  I plan to check the links below, and they might help others having difficulty under OS Lion. 
"On July 20, 2011, Apple Inc. released new versions of their desktop
operating system, Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7), and their Internet
browser, Safari (version 5.1). Currently, Safari 5.1 is unable to run
Java-based applications like the SciFinder structure drawing editor.
This problem is not restricted to SciFinder.
Customers who have upgraded to Safari 5.1 and wish to draw and search
structures or reactions in SciFinder should either use Firefox or a
previous Safari version until this browser problem is addressed by
Apple.
Mac OS X Lion is the first Apple OS upgrade to ship without a built-in
Java runtime extension (JRE). SciFinder users who have upgraded to Mac
OS X Lion can download the latest Java JRE from the Apple website at
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421. Users can validate their Java
installation by checking this website:

  • After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

    After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

    Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
    Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
    Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
    By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?

  • Before update on an owa.mail site I viewed others' calendars. Since update, it makes space for the other calendar, but doesn't show it. How can I undo the updat

    I get my office email online at an owa.mail.com website. I have delegate access to several people's calendars for work. Before the latest update, when I checked the box for someone else's calendar, it would split the calendar space and the other calendar would be next to mine. Since the update, when I click on another calendar, it splits the calendar space the way it used to, but the other calendar doesn't show. I need this for work, so I had to download Opera and it works as it should there. What do I do?

    Could you check for a zoom/wrap issue by reducing the zoom level by one or two increments? You can do that by holding the Ctrl key down and tapping the - (minus) key a couple of times. If that makes no difference, you can reset to the default zoom level by holding Ctrl and tapping 0 (zero).
    If you haven't tried it, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • How can I disable the tabs in safari on the ipad2

    How can I disable the tabs on safari on my ipad2. I hate the tabs!!!

    You can't, Safari on iOS 5 on the iPad uses tabbed browsing. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update we'll get the choice of tabs or thumbnail/paged browsing : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    In the meantime I think that the (free) Opera browser and the iCab Mobile browser in the app store offer thumbnail browsing to some degree.

  • I have Elements 10 and a Nikon D7100. PSE10  CR 6.7 does not support the 7100 NEF. How can I get the updates to do this?

    I have Elements 10 and a Nikon D7100. PSE10  CR 6.7 does not support the 7100 NEF. How can I get the updates to do this?

    The D7100 requires camera raw 7.4 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 10.
    Your two main options are
    1) Buy a newer version of Photoshop Elements
    2) Use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the NEF files to DNG files which can then be used by Photoshop Elements 10.

  • After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)?  I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

    After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)?  I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Kirk,
    Thank's for your efforts, and I just wish that this was the solution.  Unfortunately, it isn't because, after double-clicking on the pdf in the website, it simply "opens" in another Safari window as a black screen - the pdf is there, somewhere, but not visible (either as an icon, or as a document). 
    When I right-click in the black Safari window, where the file is supposed to be, the only option available to display the file is to "Open file in Internet Explorer" (which is not what I want to do).  Other options include saving or printing the pdf, which I don't want until I've confirmed that it's the form that I want.  The same options are offered if I right-click on the file icon in the website.
    Any other suggestions, please?

  • How can I change the settings in Safari to list the open windows chronologically instead of alphabetically?

    How can I change the settings in Safari to list the open windows chronologically instead of alphabetically?  I keep a lot of open windows e.g., 25 windows and many tabs on each) and like to work between a few at a time.  The problem is that Safari reorganizes windows alphabetically.  Once I open a new window, it take a while to find the windows I'm looking for.  Chrome and Firefox list the open windows chronologically which I find much easier.  The newest windows are at the bottom of the list.

  • How can I undo the deleting of a calendar?

    How can I undo the accidental deleting of a calendar within the ipad calendar program? How can I generally undo things I did within the ipad programs?

    Hi,
    Per my understanding, you might want to check if there any overlapped recurring events in Event Receiver.
    You can build the query with <DateRangesOverlap> to return the recurring events with Server Object Model.
    A code demo in the thread below about how to get recurring events from Calendar for your reference:

    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

    Also, what is your operating system?

  • HT4623 How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes

    How can I save the update download file as I have several devises to upgrade and cant afford the bandwidth to do each via iTunes.
    There does not appeare to be any doenloadable files in the download section.

    "Well that's totally unacceptable."
    Actually you can only accept it, as it is the way it is.  You may not like it, but it is so.  Sorry.
    " your seriously telling me that Apple expect me to download the same huge file 8 TIMES"
    That is exactly what I am telling you.
    " No way."
    Still true.
    "Apple are going to have to come up with another solution."
    No.  They do not have to do any such thing.  They may choose to do so in the future, but there is no reason to believe that they will.

    Since updating the recent OS on my iPad my location services do not work.  Maps "Cannot determine location"  and "Find Me" is running in circles.  How can I delete the update on my iPad???

    You can't delete the update and your problem probably is not in the Update.
    Check to see if Location Services is turned ON. (Settings > Privacy > Location Services)
    What model iPad Mini do you have? WiFi or WiFi + Cellular
    Have you recently changed WiFi routers?
