How to uninstall safari 4.0.3 so i can reinstall and earlier version

i removed all traces of safari and when i tried to install an earlier version it would not, citing there was a newer version already installed. it would only install 4.0.3, which does not work. 5 minutes into it and it still would not load anything.
i don't have concierge on my computer, so that isn't the problem
nothing could be more stressful than having my work interrupted because i can't access the internet, lost all my bookmarks trying to get safari to work, and just plain old frustration that my complaint was deleted rather than addressed.
any suggestions other than a clean reinstall or something else that drastic would be appreciated.
meanwhile, i'm digging Firefox for the first time. it works.

I have been on this forum for the past 8 years. do you really think that I have not already done a search? oh please...don't go there.
i repaired permissions. i did all that.
i have done everything necessary. after 5 minutes of loading and loading and loading and still nothing being loaded, i gave up. after deleting every trace of safari and still there being something on the harddrive that is being identified as the more recent version (4.0.3) and not finding that remnent anywhere, i can't reinstall an earlier version. and reinstalling 4.0.3 didn't improve the situation at all.
what did improve my ability to get on any website really fast and come here to moan and groan that my day was ruined was thank god there is Opera! It's fast, it's easy to use and it zooms great. so until i get a better answer than no answer at all, i'll use Opera.
if i sound bitter, so what. this is my 2nd mac, your first apparently.
I am running 10.4.11....not 10.5 which you have and the removal of concierge, which is NOT even on my computer would not fix the problem that may have worked for you. i don't need your condescending flippant remark as a fix. lets see how calmly composed you are when doodoo flies with a bum update or whatever. you'll learn. but thanks anyway.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

    Thank you.

    I found the answer just after posted this.  Thanks to a user named CloudWalker.  Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.

  • 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.

  • 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 to uninstall Safari

    My problem... downloaded the latest Safari 5 w/o realizing that it was for Snowleopard. Does not launch at all on my current OSX10.5 Leopard. The new Safari 5 has replaced my old Safari 4. So I deleted the application and downloaded Safari 4.0.5 again to get back to where I was. Now I am trying to install Safari 4, but the install screen is saying that a newer version of Safari already exists on my HD therefore it will not let me install. Help. I have trashed the app, so why am I not able to reinstall?

    HI,
    Delete the current Safari application by dragging it to the Trash.
    Insert your install disc, open the Optional Installs folder, then open Optional Installs.mpkg
    An Installer will start... click Continue. When you get to the Installation Type in the window on the right you will see: Applications. Click the Disclosure triangle so it faces down. Select Safari and click Continue.
    When it's done repair disk permissions...
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Open System Preferences/Software Updates - Scheduled Check. Make sure the box next to:
    Download updates automatically is *not selected*.

  • How to put safari full screen without click/drag the sides and without going in to fullscreen mode??

    How to put safari full screen without clicking and dragging the sides and without going in to fullscreen mode?
    Thanks
    EG

    Hi, e8god.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    The option to take apps full screen is still available.  Here are the steps on this feature in Yosemite.  
    Take apps full screen
    In many apps, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen. While in full-screen view, swipe to see another app’s full-screen window, to see your desktop, or to see a space you created.
    Expand to full-screen view: Click the green full-screen button in the top-left corner of an app window, or press Control-Command (⌘)-F.
    Move between windows in full-screen view: Swipe left or right on a trackpad or Magic Mouse. For more information, see Learn trackpad and mouse gestures.
    Return to standard view: Move the pointer to the top-left corner of the screen, then click the green full-screen button again, or press Control-Command (⌘)-F.
    Take apps full screen
    Cheers, 
    Jason H.

  • Does anyone know how to make Safari send e-mail? Mine won't and hasn't for some time.

    I have been having trouble for some time sending e-mails by Safari - no problems with Mail - Does anyone know how to make Safari send e-mails?

    When we first got our new iMac we were able to send e-mail through Safari - somewhere in the last 2-3 years it stopped and we got the failure to deliver message. We then sent e-mails through Mail - it works well and we have gotten used to doing this. However, every once in a while I retry send e-mails through Safari and we still get the  failure to deliver notice. This has also happened when we try to forward some e-mails we receive (not all; most get forwarded).

  • How to uninstall manually Adobe Reader XI in a corrupted install and not being able to uninstall from control panel

    It seems that Adobe Reader X1(11.0.0.9) installed and the installation was corrupted.  It now opens up the Windows help center automatically.  Booting the computer in safe mode and trying to unistall in the control panel,  I get the Windows Installer Servicee could not be accessed.  I am able to uninstall other programs with no problem. 
    can someone help?

    One way is to download again and install, then uninstall. That sometimes resolves the issue. To clear the registry of Acrobat and Reader (this is the Acrobat forum by the way, Reader is another forum), use http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.

  • Updated to 10.6.8 and now safari, system preferences, address book say "can't use this version"

    Got a new harddrive in my 2010 macbook pro and rebooted it with time machine back up from a older mac running 10.5.8.  I loaded snow leopard 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.6.8 on new computer after restore from back up.  Now the Safari icon, system preferences and address book won't open and a box opens saying you can't use this version of the application system preferences with this version of mac os X      You have sytem preferences 5.2.  or safari says you have safari 5.0.6 etc.  How do i update the apps so i can make them actually open.  I can get them open in a round about way but not from the icons on my sidebar. 

    If you have an os on the hdd, why not do a clean install of the os (erase the drive and reinstall osx snow leopard) For snow leopard you insert the osx disk, restart the machine while holding down the c key

  • How can  get an earlier version of my LDM ???

    Hi,
    we come to one issue:
    say we modify LDM at Nov 1th, and modify LDM at Nov 2th,but after commit what we did at Nov1th,and Nov 2th, we find there are 'mistakes' in Nov 2th,
    how can we get an earlier version of LDM?(in our case, we want revert to version Nov 1th).
    we use SDDM Version 3.1.1.703,and we share the project under subversion managed.
    more questions:
    (under subversion managed SDDM projet)
    1.what is best praise of backup in case we do something wrong and want rollback whole change to previous version?
    2.how to do that ,is there any document guide ?(I searched this forum, seems not find similar topic)
    Thanks,
    Jinbo

    Thanks Philip,
    now we can see the old reversion.
    but new issue comes.
    say two users:user1 & user2 are working on the LDM, and remote directory called LDM_remoate
    at Nov 2th,
    user1 have a latest local working copy under his machine directory LDM_local_user1
    user2 have a latest local working copy under his machine directory LDM_local_user2
    At Nov3th,
    user2 found some mistakes when user1 checked in at Nov 1th,so user2 want to get a earlier version say Nov 1 th,
    according to your guide, user2 get the design reversion number Nov 1th, and re check out at new working copy(Nov 1th) under new local directory:LDM_local_user2_new
    when user2 open LDM_local_user2_new, it indeed come back to version Nov 1th,
    but in the incoming change window, it still show many incoming changes,
    how to make the remote LDM_remote to become like LDM_local_user2_new? so that user1 only need check incoming change from LDM_remote as usual to make at local copy
    LDM_local_user1 also reverted to version Nov 1th?
    hope I make it clear to you.
    thanks,
    Jinbo
