How to completely remove Safari and reinstall. I don't have Safari on my Mac, yet, it says I can't install the newest Safari because a newer version is already installed... Help?
Okay. So, Safari was giving me some trouble, right? So, I thought I would delete it and reinstall it. I never had a problem doing so before, right? So, why not? I did, and then, when I tried to reinstall it, it tells me I have a newer version already installed. Can someone help me out here?
Hi..
Are you running Lion v10.7 by chance even though your profile indicates v10.6.8 ??
I ask because you can only reinstall apps using Lion Recovery
Much better to ask for help with Safari here before trying to delete the app and reinstall.
Is the Safari app still in the Trash by chance?

HELP! How do I remove Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard and my files
HELP! How do I remove Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard & my files BUT I just discovered my Apple Time Capsule which was using Time Machine DIED
I had to go to MacMall and have the Time Capsule data transfered to a new BAK drive($300+$300)
(The Apple Store sent me there as they said they do not do data transfer)
Now what do I do?
? ? One Senior advisor said that I will have to drag and drop the data file or files? from the Time Capsule BAK drive back to my iMAC but will that include all the Snow Leopard operating system ?
? ? Another senior advisor said I will have to wipe my hard drive then install Snow Leopard then "drag and drop", ? ??
All my business leases, database, spreadsheets. letters, mail merge files, and so on are not available with Lion -
I AM VERY ANGRY AS I NEVER SAW THAT WRITTEN ANYWHERE !!!
I am seriously confused and I AM SCARED TO MAKE A MISTAKE-HELP !!
WHAT DO I DO ? AND IN WHAT ORDER? PLEASE HELP!Your post is confusing to read too.
It sounds like you still have your files on your Mac. Why do you want to back track to Snow Leopard on your Mac? Why can't you read your files from your Mac? If your files are on your Mac, why are you taking them off your broken Time Capsule? You don't have to install Snow Leopard to transfer your files back to your Mac. Maybe step back a bit and explain your situation a little better with details. For instance, what's a BAK drive? Suggest you explain what you are trying to do?
Before you do anything, create a backup of your Mac to another disk drive.. suggest you use Carbon Copy Cloner to make another copy of your Mac. -
Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?
Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

I just downloaded the new Mavericks operating sytem on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 17" 2.53GHz, Intel Core I5 machine. My IPhoto is no longer working at all, I'm getting an error message that says - "You Can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac". I also loaded Mavericks onto my other MacBook Pro 17", mid 2009 model and everything works fine. I would think that the newer Mac would easily work with IPhoto. Also, when I try to download from the App Store, it asks for my Apple ID and Password, I enter it, and then the little spinning color wheel just spins forever, with nothing ever happening. I tried downloading the IPhoto Upgrade but it never actually downloads, HELP!!!
What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

How do I make it so iWork docs don't have to reformat from Mac to iOS
How do I make it so iWork docs don't have to reformat from Mac to iOS?
When I edit docs and spreadsheets on my Mac with OSX Mountain Lion with documents in iCloud, they have to be reformatted when I go to open them on my iPad or iPhone. This is minor annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless. Is there a way to format docs on the Mac so this does not take place?Hello KatTreeRain,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Change the music video's *Media Type* to Video. To do this, right->click on the music video and choose *Get Info* and then head over to the Options tab. There you will see the *Media Type* option with a drop down list. This will move the music video to your Videos/Movies.

How to completely erase Lion and Reinstall SL
I am trying to do just that, the only problem i am having is that when i try to boot form my SL disck, it give me an error, can not boot from disk. I see that Lion has mae a home on my HD, very small amount of info, my fear is that when i erase the HD, i will have fragments left that will corrupt the SL instalation. Also how many times can you erase your HD and not damage the Drive? This will be the 3rd time i have erased and started over.
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files. -
The image changed on the dock and gave me the error message when I tried to open it. I dragged the one on the dock to the trash and tried dragging the icon back to the dock to put it back. It still wouldnt open. I tried opening it from the "applications" tab in finder and it gave the error message. Additionally, I have tried "Repair Disk Permissions" on disk utility.
Make a temporary copy of the Safari application by dragging it from the Applications folder to the Desktop. Can you launch the copy? After trying, delete the copy -- don't leave it on the Desktop. If the copy launches, try the original again.

When I try to install QuickTime, I get the message "newer version of QuickTime already installed". I uninstalled QuickTime. I have also gone into the registry and deleted all references regarding QuickTime. I really don't want to have to reinstall Windows just to be able to install QuickTime. I have used QuickTime for years and want to use it again. What do you suggest I do?
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time? -

How do I remove 7 and reinstall 6?
I use Angel to grade student papers and I cannot email through Angel with 7. I need to reinstall 6 so that I can get back to emailing students about their papers. Please help soon!
Yeah really. I wish there was a "roll-back" option in the Help--About Firefox function. That would really help when backwards compatibility is an issue. It would be useful for other things too, like the Bejeweled cheat that only works with 3.5 ;)

PowerPC apps, such as Microsoft Word 2004, which cannot be updated, such as presumably your Korean version, can be run in Snow Leopard Server installed in Parallels for use in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks:
