How do i upgrade Safari on my laptop

How do I upgrade Safari on my laptop?

If you're running a Safari version older than 5.1.10, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences as many times as needed.
If you're running 5.1.10, you need to upgrade the computer's OS. 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.

  • How do I upgrade Safari?  I have Snow Leopord with Safari 5.1.10 now

    How do I upgrade Safari?  I have Snow Leopord with Safari 5.1.10 now.
    Thanks

    You must upgrade the Mac OS to use any higher version of Saari than what you have. Mac Minis made before March 2009 can run no higher than OS 10.6.8 or, in some cases, OS 10.7.5. It would help us to know what variant of the Mini you have so we can make upgrade recommendations.
    If you are encountering web pages or functions that you cannot use because your Safari is too old, the simplest action is to switcher browsers to FireFox. It runs perfectly on OS 10.6.8 and is seen as a supported browser by the vast majority of web sites. Get it here:

    Since neil is recommending an upgrade to 10.6, you must have an intel processor.

    OmniWeb uses the lastest Safari framework.  The open source WebKit. Other browsers like Safari and iCab use the OS version of WebKit.  The OmniWeb downloaded dmg includes it's own copy of the latest WebKit.

  • How do I upgrade safari on my imac 12.1 A while ago I got a message about the free upgrade but it was confusing

    I have  an imac OSX 10.6.8    How do I upgrade the safari that came with my mac?  Several websites say the browser is out of date.

    By upgrading OS X:
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
                 Identifier 5,1 or later.
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.

    You install it on both. The license allows up to two computers for your own use. 
    You cannot share it, or copy it, or move Applications, or get the app any other way than installing it.

  • I bought an imac in 2011, IOS 10.6.8.  How can I upgrade safari 5.1 browser as vimeo is recommending this for viewing their videos?

    I bought an imac in 2011, IOS 10.6.8.  How can I upgrade the safari 5.1 browser, as vimeo is recommending this for viewing their videos and I can't seem to see their videos full screen?   Thank you.

    It is very likely you can go to Mavericks but you may as well go straight to Yosemite.   However, unless the matter is urgent I would wait a couple of months until it gets to Yosemite 10.10.2.
    You realise of course that your current OS is the last one that can work with Rosetta based programs so if you have bought Office or some Language courses etc you may have to buy new versions.   This table will help you decide which apps you may lose by upgrading.

  • HT4550 how do i upgrade safari browser?

    I am trying to use a photo editing service and its telling me that my Safari browser is too old and i need to upgrade.  But i cant figure out how to upgrade Safari. I've already run the Software check and upgrade on my Macbook but I can't figure out this Safari thing.  Please help.  Thank you in advance.

    Safari upgrades are only available if your also upgrade your OS.
    Safari version 5 will only work in 10.6 and Safari 6 requires Lion or higher.
    Safari version 7 requires Mavericks (10.9).

  • How do you upgrade safari browser?

    I am having trouble upgrading my safari browser. When I go into Seek.com it keeps saying that "this browser is no longer supported by SEEK. It keeps telling me to go to the Mac App Store, but I can't find it anywhere on the Mac or on the iTunes store.

    If you’re running Safari 5.1.10, you need to upgrade the computer’s OS or switch browsers.
    To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. 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.

  • How do i update safari 5.0.1 on a 10.6.8 macbook pro

    how do i upgrade safari 5.0.1 on macbook pro 10.6.8

    Hello...
    If I were you, I would go to the APP STORE and download the latest Mac OS (Mavericks)... IT'S FREE.
    It takes over an hour to download so be patient.  Once you do that and Restart, it will automatically UPGRADE Safari to the latest REV.
    It worked great for me....

  • How do i upgrade my hard drive on a hp/compaq nc6000 laptop

    I have a HP/Compaq NC6000 laptop and the hard drive has failed, I have tried 60GB and an 80GB known good hard drive in the machine bit all it says is "Non system disk", how do I upgrade or do I have to put a 30GB HDD back into it

    Hi:
    You have to install an operating system on it.
    Install the 80 GB HDD and boot into the BIOS. It should be showing up there.
    If it is, you should be fine.
    Without an operating system installed, that is the error you get.
    If that disk has an operating system on it from another PC, there is a very good chance it won't boot up and again, you will get that error.

  • Videos show "blocked plug-in".  YouTube says I need to upgrade Safari.  How?

    Hi!
    First time on this forum.  I updated to Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.0 last May. (Computer came with Leopard.)  It was working fine but now videos don't play--"blocked plug-in" message appears.  YouTube says I need new version of my browser.  How do I update Safari?  Software sent to me is up-to-date. I also just installed new version of Adobe Flash Player as instructed. Thanks for your help.

    Hi again Susan1357,
    I noticed that your 2008 iMac is running with only a paultry 1 GB of RAM (Random Access Memory).
    I do not know what you do with your IMac and whether it seems to run slow or slower than usual.
    Your year and model iMac can take a max. RAM amount of 6 GBs in total
    Purchasing and installing this much RAM would really speed up your Mac running 10.6.8, considerably.
    Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (http://www.macsales.com).
    OWC are the only online RAM vendor to supply the 6 GB RAM kit.
    Here is a link to the kit
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/6400DDR2S6GP/
    RAM is the only thing Apple lets users install and they have made it, relatively, easy for newbie and novice Mac users to install with very minimal fuss and minimal tools needed.
    Here's a video that show you how easy it is to install RAM into your model iMac.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac_mid_2007_mem_h/
    If you watch the video (it is only 5 minutes long) this is the amount of time or just a little longer, if you are being more careful, that is needed to install RAM modules iinto your iMac.
    You really do not need your daughter-in-law to do this as it is a simple process once you have purchased the RAM kit online and receive it.
    You can install the 4 GB module and the 2 GB module into either slot. It makes no difference.
    I just thought I would point out this RAM issue for you and show you that, in this instance, you can do this yourself without waiting for someone else to do this for you. This hardware upgrade is a much easier task than doing any software upgrades/updates of your Mac's system software.

  • How to upgrade SAFARI in OS X 10.6.8

    How to upgrade SAFARI in OSX 10.6.8

    Yosemite works fine for me.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Or you can try Mountain Lion.

  • I upgraded Safari in my Mac (10.6.8 Leopard) but the new version does not work with my system so that I now have not a working browser. How can I solve the problem and/or install back my previous Safari version?

    I have upgraded Safari in my Mac, but the new Safari does not work with my system. So I find myself without any working browser. How can I solve this problem and/or install my previous Safari version?

    Reinstall Safari 5.1.10 for OS X 10.6.8: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569. Might do the trick.
    But, frankly, I don't think that simply reinstalling the old Safari will work because of all the peripheral, under the hood changes that happen when you upgrade from one version of Safari to another. Reinstalling 5.1.10 may be insufficient to turn back the clock. (This is the moment where a Time Machine or another form of full backup would save your bacon.)
    While you're getting a copy of Safari 5.1.10, get a copy of Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/), too, so that you have an alternate browser to use as you're sorting matters.
