How to reinstall safari from original disks

Brand new Macbook Pro, 2 wks old; Safari won't open links in Mail, and I got one error message instructing me to re-install it from the original system disks. But, under "Install bundled apps" on the original disk #1, there is no safari in the package, even under "Customize." The only other option is to install the entire system + apps all over again.
I'm celebrating 20 yrs of mac use this year but am new to leopard and being cautious.
Thanks for assistance.

Cynthia,
Have a look here.
If this is a new machine, and you are having problems that might indicate "broken" software, you probably have a disk error. This is quite common with new computers (Mac or otherwise), and the reason why many prefer too format (erase) a new computer's hard drive right away, then reinstall the system software themselves.
Even though it will take much longer, and you can use the link I have given to install just Safari, I am going to recommend you erase that hard drive and start over.

Hi,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open CS2.

Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro. Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep. How do I resolve ?

Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro. Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep. How do I resolve ?

Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh? If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized. Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.

How to reinstall data from hp backup discs

System crashed. Can't seem to figure out how to reinstall data from backup discs.

Greetings,
If you place the first disc into your DVD-ROM and start your computer, on the HP screen press Escape until you get a menu. Select the Boot menu, choose CD/DVD-ROM, and then enter. Press any key when it tells you to press any key to boot off CD-ROM. This will load the recovery software.
*****WARNING***** you will lose all files and programs that you have installed and placed on your computer since you purchased the unit.
. Once this has been completed, you will see a HP Recovery screen. Select System Recovery, then select next and follow the prompts. There should be a section allowing you to backup your data onto a flash drive. Now I recommend if there is any critical data on your disk that you verify the backup prior to initiating the actual recovery.
This will set your computer up as the day that you first purchased it. All data and programs installed on the computer since the day you purchased it will be gone.
During this process make sure you are on your AC adapter and you have no extra devices plugged in such as printers, external hard disks, and flash drives while the actual recovery is taking place. You can use your flash drive during the backup process portion.
Good Luck
Brent

How to move Tablespace from One disk group to another disk group in RAC

Hi All,
I have 11gR2 RAC env on Linux.
As ofnow I have problem with disk group. I have 3 disk group which is almost full - 98%. I have added one NEW disk group and want to move some of the Tablespace(TBS) from OLD disk group to NEW diskgroup and make some free space in OLD disk group.
Can any one suggest me how to move TBS from one disk group to another disk grup without shutting down the instance.
DB is in Noarchive mode.
Thanks...

Hi Helios,
Thanks for doc id but I am looking for noarchive mode solution. becaues I got ORA-
"ORA-01145: offline immediate disallowed unless media recovery enabled " when run alter database datafile '...' offline.
Hence I am trying something and findout below steps but not sure how useful it is:
1- put tablespace offine
2- Copy the file to new diskgroup using Either RMAN or DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER.
3- Rename the file to point to new location.
4- Recover the file.
5- Bring the file online.
I had move 240M TBS from OLE to NEW.
These steps run successfully so I think this is valid for noarchive mode.Hence want to confirm..so inform me please.
Thanks :)I have doubt in my mind:
1. You database is in noarchivelog mode
2. You're taking tablespace offline
3. Suppose you're moving a file of size 10GB(or any larger filesize) to another disk group
4. Now after moving the file, you're trying to bring the tablespace online............NOW
tablespace will need recovery. if the required data is inside the SGA then it is ok. But if the data has been flushed, then?
if step 2 and 3 has taken significant time, then most probably you'll not be able to bring that tablespace online.
Regards,
S.K.

How to reinstall safari browser in my emac power G4 running classic?

how to fix my start-up not open classic and how to reinstall safari browser?

There is no Classic version of Safari. The earliest version of Safari came out in 2003 and could run on Mac OS X 10.2. In order to run Safari and Mac OS 9 side by side, you need Mac OS X 10.4.11 or earlier installed to have Classic.
Mac OS X 10.3 was the first to include Safari prebundled.
Your 10.4 installer discs include Safari, which you can extract with http://www.charlessoft.com/ Pacifist.
Your eMac installer discs include the restore application to reinstall Classic environment:

Clean Reinstall/Must restore from original disks or can I use 10.4

Have pored thru the forums looking for my specific questions but haven't found them - so please bear with more clean reinstall questions ---
1) Yes - I have to do a clean reinstall - much other discussion on other forums has said this is what needs to happen for my particular sick Mac situation - so I already know this....
2) Have already used carbon copy cloner to back up entire hard drive, files et al to an external hard drive...
3) Have iMac G4 - came with OS 10.2.3 - I do not need OS 9 anymore - haven't used it for 2 years, I have the newest Tiger disks and just got iLife 2006 - can I just use those to put my system back on? Or do I need to start from my original iMac Software Install and Restore DVD - and then add on the next versions from their disks till I get to Tiger? (I have all of them - Panther, Puma, Bobcat, Lynx - you name it... Steve Jobs is getting his money's worth out of me)....
4) Someone told me I should erase my hard drive completely with disk utility first - and then do the clean install on a totally virgin hard drive - is this true? I want to do the absolute premium, totally best thing....
5) Should I write down all the info in "About This Computer" first - like serial number etc - does the above option erase all of that?
6) When I do a clean reinstall - should I name my computer and put in my user name and password etc exactly the way it was?
Thanks so much - I really have searched these forums and couldn't find the above -

iMac superdrive Mac OS X (10.4.4) Lacie external HD 150 GB

1) Yes - I have to do a clean reinstall - much other discussion on other forums has said this is what needs to happen for my particular sick Mac situation - so I already know this....
First off, there is no such thing as a "clean" reinstall. Maybe an erase and install as the rest of your post suggests:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607614
Secondly, a sick machine rarely needs an erase and install. I use it only to discover right away if there is a hardware issue with the computer as opposed to software.
2) Have already used carbon copy cloner to back up entire hard drive, files et al to an external hard drive...
Have you tested to make sure the clone is bootable?
3) Have iMac G4 - came with OS 10.2.3 - I do not need OS 9 anymore - haven't used it for 2 years, I have the newest Tiger disks and just got iLife 2006 - can I just use those to put my system back on? Or do I need to start from my original iMac Software Install and Restore DVD - and then add on the next versions from their disks till I get to Tiger? (I have all of them - Panther, Puma, Bobcat, Lynx - you name it... Steve Jobs is getting his money's worth out of me)....
You can use the Tiger disks, though I would troubleshoot your problem first before even attempting to install Tiger.
4) Someone told me I should erase my hard drive completely with disk utility first - and then do the clean install on a totally virgin hard drive - is this true? I want to do the absolute premium, totally best thing....
Not necessarily. Once your 10.2 system is healthy, frequently all that is necessary is an Archive and Install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270
I've seen some cases where this doesn't work, while others where it does. So the first thing is to make sure your system is healthy, then back it up, and then upgrade.
5) Should I write down all the info in "About This Computer" first - like serial number etc - does the above option erase all of that?
The only serial numbers you need are for third party applications, and any Apple pro applications. The operating system has no serial number. This would be in case, you can't restore from your clone when you are finished, and Archive and Install doesn't work.
6) When I do a clean reinstall - should I name my computer and put in my user name and password etc exactly the way it was?
We'll cross that road once we get there. I'd rather make sure you aren't just installing an unhealthy system on an unhealthy system.
Tell me more about your sick system, and maybe we can solve the issue so all that you need to do is make sure your backup is bootable and an Archive and Install.

Trouble reinstalling Lightroom 1.0 from original disk

I've been running Lightroom 1.0 on my 2008 iMac for 6 years. Fabulous product!
I use OS X ver. 10.9.4, my mac has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB of ram
I had to replace the crashed hard drive with an SSD and have reinstalled Photoshop and Lightroom from the original disks and planned to then download
whatever updates were available.
Sadly Lightroom will no longer run. I am frugal and do not wish to purchase a monthly license at this time. It all worked fine last week on my old hard drive
so I know that Lightroom will run on this cpu/OS combination. I just need to get it running well enough to load the available updates.
Any tips?
Thanks,

I don't know of a way to re-install Lightroom 1.0 on OS X Mavericks.
However you don't need to join the Cloud to get Lightroom 5. You can upgrade to the perpetually licensed Lightroom 5.6 (latest version) for US$79 (no monthly fees).
Products
Why not test drive Lightroom 5 for free for 30 days before you commit?

Will it work to un-install Snow Leopard (booting from original disks) and then reinstall, then upgrade without erasing hard drive on iMac?

I have both a bootable backup exernal hard drive and the original system disks. I have read on these support pages that you cannot get snow leopard freshly installed without erasing the whole whole drive since the original installation disks are older than the current updated version. I have also read here that it is possible to get the system newly installed (though it's wise to have a back up of the rest of your files). I need to know which can work. Is there an un-install function after booting from a different source? If I can get the system filess off the main hard drive and then install Snow Leopard from my original disks, then go through the upgrades, and end up with the rest of my files intact, that would be wonderful. I have all the adobe design premium software on the system with their updates and would like to not spend hours and hours restoring it all. And since I don't know where all the little bits and pieces of the Adobe programs get installed, perhaps it won't work anyway?
thanks,
Kahty

I have read on these support pages that you cannot get snow leopard freshly installed without erasing the whole whole drive since the original installation disks are older than the current updated version.
That is incorrect. You can install an older version of the same OS over itself. With Snow Leopard and later, unless you intentionally select to erase the drive, the OS removes and replaces all remnants of the current OS and leaves all of your third party apps, personal files and settings intact.
I have also read here that it is possible to get the system newly installed (though it's wise to have a back up of the rest of your files).
That is the correct information.
Is there an un-install function after booting from a different source? If I can get the system files off the main hard drive and then install Snow Leopard from my original disks, then go through the upgrades, and end up with the rest of my files intact, that would be wonderful.
No, there is no way to remove just the OS files from a drive. At least, not in any manner you could call easy. There are thousands of hidden files and folders related to UNIX. Many apps won't even run correctly, or at all, if they're not on the same drive you are starting up to. So trying to separate your third party apps from the drive the OS is on is not a good idea.
I have all the adobe design premium software on the system with their updates and would like to not spend hours and hours restoring it all.
If your end goal is to simply get the contents of the external drive onto a new internal drive in a bootable form, you can use Disk Utility to clone the drive, or use one of two excellent third party apps; SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner.

How to reinstall Safari for 10.2.8?

I "helped" a family member update an iBook from 10.2.1 to 10.2.8 and somehow have acquired an incompatible version of Safari. Although there is an almost complete Previous System folder, Safari is missing from it. The only version in the new Applications folder is 2.0.4, which when I attempt to launch gives the following error message:
"The application cannot be launched because this system is incompatible."
Beats me what I've done! I would like to have Safari back; am using Firefox, which is ok but I want everything Apple, and feel responsible for messing up (slightly) family member's computer.
I have the original install disks (10.2.1 for the iBook) but do not know how to install a single program like Safari from it. I think I got the incompatible Safari update along with the many updates downloaded to get us from 2.1 to 2.8.
I've searched the Downloads area of the Apple site in vain for what I need - the oldest Safaris there are even more recent than what I have.
Suggestions most welcome.

Hi ceedee!
I'm happy that you eventually found the download, but cornelius provided a link to it, in His Reply.
Safari 1.0.
I have underlined it above, but note the color difference, of cornelius's posted link.
I wish the links in Discussions were more prominently colored!

HT5275 how to reinstall safari for lion?

I have deleted safari from lion and wish to reinstall.
Please advise how can i go about reinstalling safari?

SINdustries wrote:
An alternative is to install ana application called pacifist which has a free trial
It can allow you to install small portions of the os
To use Pacifist, the OP will need to download the OSX, anyway, to access the .dmg installer. If that is the case, then the safest and most reliable course of action is to just reinstall the entire system, considering the complexity of Safari and it's integration with so many other parts of the OSX.

HT5275 how to download safari from apple website

i have uninstall safari from mountain lion and now i am unable to download safari please help me or give me a link to direct download. I don't know how to download i tried many diffrent ways to download but failed..

If Safari had been deleted, then installing it from the 10.8.2 combo update with Pacifist will not work. The 10.8.2 combo update only contains a partial copy of Safari 6.0.1. Most of the files that comprise the Safari application were not modified between 6.0 and 6.0.1, so they are not included in the 10.8.2 combo update. The end result is a non-functional application with the wrong icon that is only about 10% of the correct size (I tried it).
Using Pacifist to install Safari from the Mountain Lion installer will work, but if your copy of the installer is for an older version (i.e. 10.8 or 10.8.1) you would also need to manually install Safari from the 10.8.2 combo update using Pacifist (on top of the older version, so it updates the appropriate files) or just run the 10.8.2 combo install normally.
If you don't want to use Pacifist, then it is not difficult to reinstall the entire operating system (which won't require wiping anything), then reinstall the 10.8.2 combo update if your OS installer is an older version. This method will just take longer, and may require re-downloading the roughly 4.3 GB Mountain Lion installer or the roughly 650 MB 10.8.2 combo update. You need the Mountain Lion installer for either method anyway.
