How to update safari browser after installing snow leopard

Hi,
  I had been having trouble for a week and couldnt get online at all. Then I updated to snow leopard just before and I can get online with firefox. My safari web browser still isnt working. Each download I use to update states it is too old for snow leopard yet I cant find any close to it on the internet to help me update it so I can use it with the snow leopard. Anyone have any suggestions? The firefox isnt working that great either but its better than nothing. Also, what web browsers are you mostly using? Thank you in advance

Hello, I try to avoid Safari myself, but are you really on 10.5.6 & not 10.5.8 yet?
Does Software update show a newer Safari?

  • Multiple Safari hangs after installing Snow Leopard

    I had 5 Safari hangs today within hours...never had one since I bought the machine in June 2009 with Leopard installed...Since the SL upgrade CD, I have had 2 system freezes that result in a complete shutdown to clear and multiple Safari hangs that I able to recover with a force quit..My daughter in college with the same machine reported that she had 3 system freezes in one day since SL...My wife who did NOT yet install the SL upgrade and is now blissfully having no problems at all and does not want to install the new OS (again same machine type, We bought 3of them in June after the announcement). I hope that this gets debugged and fixes provided...

    Hi,

    That links is for 10.5 but the trouble shooting will work in 10.6 also.
    For system freezes try maintenance.

    On the Macs you upgraded to SL, did you check to see if you had 3rd party software installed that might not be compatible? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3258
    Did you repair permissions after the upgrade?
    Quit any open applications/programs. 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.

    I can't scan from my Canon Pixma 882 after installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I did get the printer to work after downloading the printer software from Apple. I used to have 10.4.1.  How can I get my scanner to work?

    Check here to see if there is an updated driver available for it:

  • Opening Photo Files in Photo Shop CS3 after installing Snow Leopard.

    After installing Snow Leopard I could only open photo files in a Preview mode. I called Adobe and Apple and could not get a solution. So I called my local Mac tech person where I got the answer to my problem. What to do: Right click on an image file icon.(Do not open image.) Then go to: Get info. In the dropdown menu, Open with: Select Adobe Photoshop CS3.app or whatever app you desire. Then click change all. You have to do this just one time for each extention such as jpg, tif, etc. Trust this helps.

    Hello sean:
    I am not an expert in iPhoto, but people who post here are:

    To try to address the browser problem, reset Safari and see if that helps. Also, try an alternate browser (I use Firefox that way) to see if the problem is system-wide. Also, there is a Safari forum here:

I am Oma MacBook running the Internet on an at home wifi connection. Please help!

  • Unable to print on HP J6480 after installing Snow Leopard

    After installing Snow Leopard I've been unable to print from my HP J6480.  I get an error message saying to check for updates from Apple and the manufacturer.  Apple shows no more updates.  I've added a printer driver v2.6 from Apple, but that hasn't helped.  Had no problems printing before this.  Any suggestions?

    Never mind.  Just went to Hewlett Packard site and the suggestion was to reinstall the printer.  I did so and it now works.  Of course, the reinstall wiped out other printers I had on there....Adding Snow Leopard has resulted in much more work than I thought it would be!

  • Met with a white screen after installing Snow Leopard on Macbook (mid 2007)

    After installing Snow Leopard on my Mid 2007 mac book pro I was prompted to restart. I restarted and the computer turned on but only got as far as a white screen that stays white with no further activity for an indefinite amount of time. I've restarted the computer a few times with the same results. How do I fix this and get past the white screen?!

    Try booting into "verbose mode".  That will cause a series of messages to appear on the screen during the boot process.  When that stalls (presuming it does so), write down the last few messages and post them as a reply.
    You might also try running the diagnostics that came with that Mac.  Depending on the model, you can boot with the "system restore disc" in the machine with the "D" key held down to run those.  Run the diagnostics several times.

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

    Hi there ricalimo,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps in the article below. If the issue is location specific, than you may want to save the article so you can perform troubleshooting when you are experiencing trouble.

  • After installing Snow Leopard the speech application keeps quitting

    Hi everyone, I have recently installed Snow Leopard on my 06 iMac, installed all the latest updates.
    I then found that when I try to set up voice activation application: system preference–speech.
    The application opens for a few seconds and then unexpectedly quit. As I'm studying I use Acrobat reader
    to read documents back to myself. I am not sure if it has anything to do with my machine being a 32-bit machine, and Snow Leopard
    is mainly a 64-bit operating system. But I also find that the Read aloud option in the Acrobat reader does not work
    and causes acrobats also unexpectedly quit.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
    Thank you

  • After installing snow leopard excel no longer in correct format

    After installing Snow Leopard, my excel files only open in text edit and my powerpoints are scrambled or cannot be opened.
    Is there a way of restoring them to at least their original form before the update or do I need to install the latest Word?

    Assuming Office is still installed, you can change your Excel files so they open in Excel again.  Right click on one of them. Get Info. Change "Open With" to Excel. Change All.
    You didn't say if your Powerpoint files are also opening in Textedit. If so,I would expect them to be scrambled. But, then again, so should your Excel files. If they are opening in Textedit, do the same procedure as above with a Powerpoint file so it opens in Powerpoint.
    You will have to do the same thing for the different vesions of Excel and Powerpoint files you might have such as XLS, XLSX, PPT and whatever other extensions Office uses.  Plus I assume your Word files don't open in Word either so you have DOC and DOCX that would need to be changed to open in Word.
    If none of that works, you might have to reinstall Office.

  • Hard drives damaged after installing Snow Leopard :(

    After installing Snow Leopard all software seemed to work fine. Then I found out that e-sata doesn't seem to work well with Snow.
    I've tried two different e-sata cards, including CalDigit's FASTA-2e, which CalDigit claims works fine with 10.6.
    My external enclosure appeared and immediately gave me a kernel panic. I tried several times with different working drives and now they are all heavily damaged. Kernal panic after kernal panic, I am noe having a difficult time accessing the data.
    Now here's the strange part...after going back to Leopard 10.5, my internal drives all seemed to be infected as well. After using Disk Warrior and apple's disc utility, I got those working ok.
    What could be going wrong here? I installed Snow. It was fast. But it wasn't worth it...at least not yet.
    If there's anything else I might be doing wrong or any way to fix these drives now, please let me know.
    Thanks all!

    It seems that Sonnet is not yet compatible with Snow Leopard either. That issue was covered here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2114442&tstart=0.
    Anyone know if RocketRAID eSATA for Mac works with Snow? Apple sells it...
