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.
How do I uninstall 5.1 and go back to 5.0.5?

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.

Thats exactly whats going with me since yestrday when I inst. 5.1

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 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

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 Uninstall a Plugin in Safari for Windows?

Hi,
Im using Safari 4.0.3 on Windows XP and can view my installed plugins through Help>Installed Plug-ins, but how do I uninstall plug-ins?
I know that on the Mac they are stored in specific folders but I dont know how it works in Windows. How do I uninstall Safari plugins in Windows?
Thanks,
Dan1ell

I am also trying to do this. I am trying to remove the Flash plugin from Safari for Windows. Anybody know how to do this?
Or, is there a Flash blocker for the Windows version of Safari? That would work, too.

How do I uninstall safari 4 beta?

I am a new mac user so any help would be appreciated. I have a new macbook. I downloaded and installed safari 4 beta and don't like the problems it causes. I can't access hotmail. I can get in but can't open any of the emails. I also can't click and open links in emails. I want to uninstall safari beta 4 but don't know how. I'd like to go back to the previous version. Any help would be appreciated and remember I'm a newbie mac user so be gentle!

That would normally work if there was a previous version installed. However, I deleted all my previous versions and the Uninstaller will not uninstall Safari since it can't find a previous version. I downloaded an earlier version 3.2.3 but it tells me that I have a later version installed and won't install 3.2.3. Furthermore, whatever version I bring up has concierge in its header line which I can't get rid of either. Finally, Safari continues to crash even after I reset it, delete whatever concierge items I can find on my computer, etc. Help is disparately needed. Fortunately, I am an old Firefox user, and now trying Camino and Opera but I would like help in figuring out how to use Safari. Thanks.

How do I uninstall safari 7 and reinstall safari 6 (snow leopard)?

How do I uninstall safari 7 and reinstall snow leopard? I was on pinterest and it said I needed up to update my browser, so I did and now safari won't open for me since I have 10.6.8.

I didn't know that my computer isn't compatible with the new software before I downloaded it and I can't figure out how to uninstall it so I can have my previous version back. Thanks!

Classic Mac operating systems don't run Safari. I've asked this thread be moved to the appropriate forum.

How do I uninstall Safari 3.1.2 Beta??

2 days ago, I had the latest update of Safari which happened to be 3.0.4 I believe. I downloaded and installed the beta and didn't like it much so I decided I wanted to revert back to the older version.
Searching online, people told me to use the installer to uninstall the beta but there was no uninstall option in the pkg when I open it. Therefore I just drug the Safari app to the trash can and emptied it hoping I could just run system update and get the lastest previous version of Safari and be ok. The only problem is, It still thinks Im using the beta
I managed to find version 2.01 off of my OSX install CD so I installed that to get back online. My system however still thought I was running 3.1 so it will not let me update or "downgrade" in the system's eyes back to 3.0.4. I decided to run the Beta install once again to see if there would be an "uninstall" option when I ran the installer again, but no avail. So I'm still using 3.1.2.
All I want to do is get back to 3.0. I have no clue how to uninstall this update.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks in advance.

Safari 3.04 is not a beta, so that's part of the problem. The most recent version is Safari 3.1.2, which is also not a beta, and that's the version you should be using.
You cannot go back to 3.0.x for Safari. What makes you believe you need to not use 3.1.2, since it provides numerous stability improvement for Java, JavaScript, and fixes security vulnerabilities as well?

How do I uninstall Safari and reinstall it again it's not working right and I've already wiped my computer clean to start over

Reinstalling Safari won't solve your problem, whatever it is. I suggest you start a new thread with a different title and a description of the actual problem, rather than your conclusion about how it should be solved.

How to uninstall Flipora. It's a new web browser . Have a compatibility problem with Safari.

After an invitation via email to install Flipora (a new web browser), eveytime I click eg a website link sent via an email, Flipora will automatically switch me to Google search engine. Prior installing i have no problem .
