HT1338 Cannot upgrade Safari

My daughter is using Safari 4.1.3 on a Mac Mini using OS 10.4.11.  She gets the message that because of security issues with some websites, she must upgrade to a higher version of Safari.  But all her software is up-to-date, or so the Software Update states.  So, she appears to be stymied - unable to download certain software, and unalbe to upgrade Safari.

Try the free OmniWeb 5.11.2, I am not much of a techie, but OmniWeb I think, uses the same web kit as Safari 5, in effect acting as a surrogate for Safari 5. OmniWeb runs very quick on my Intel Duo Core iMac with the intel version of Tiger, my other browser is Ten Four Fox, the Firefox PPC replacement which only goes to version 3.6.28. Ten Four Fox mirrors Firefox, is now at version 17.0.

  • I have an IAMc 4.1 with intel core duo.  Upgraded from tiger to snow leopard but cannot get safari to run in 64 bit.  Is this because my older IMac won't support 64 bit?

    Hi,
    the Intel Core Duo processor is a 32-bit only processor and not capable of 64-bit.
    Only the Core 2 Duo and later processors are capable of 64-bit.
    Sorry

  • I cannot upgrade from iOS 5.-01 to 5.1 on original iPad

    My wife and I both have iPads running 5.0.1. Mine is v2 and hers is v1. We both have Macs with 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.
    When I tried upgraded to 5.1 throguh iTunes I got messages saying I could not connect to the server. A friend suggested I reboot the iPad and my Mac. I did and the upgrade went fine.
    I cannot upgrade my wife's iPad, however. Even after rebooting I get an error saying iTunes cannot download the upgrade because her computer is not hooked up to the internet. It is, however. I can access the iTunes store, use Safari, and get e-mail. I then tried to download the upgrade directly through the iPad but after a few minutes I get a message saying the updte failed.
    Any suggestions?

    Problem solved. I upgraded after switching a cable. Not sure why that mattered but all is fine now.

  • Cannot upgrade my itunes 10 11.1

    cannot upgrade my itunes to 11.1

    You should not have to download and install iTunes from Apple in order to get the latest version on your Mac.  You should be able to choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
    OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
    Alternatively, you can try and access the update from within iTunes itself by selecting teh Check for Updates menu item.

    If both of the afore mentioned update methods fail, then another option is to download and install iTunes directly from Apple's download site.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Cannot get Safari to establish a secure connection

    I cannot get Safari to open any webpage that has an https: start to their web page. I get the following message:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://xxx" because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server
    This started just today but I've done a few things that might have caused this. I reset my system user password and then needed keychain to reset it's password to match up with this. I cleared the chach in users and I also upgraded to Safari 1.2.
    If I use another browser I do not have this problem. Any thoughts>

    I've had the same problem a few times. I found that resetting the airport gets the problem fixed, providing that you grant your airport permission to access your keychain always. It can be a software reset. Connect to your airport (airport utility) and select yours (in case you get signals from other neighbors too). Then, on the toolbar click reset, and you should be on.

  • How do I upgrade Safari?  I have Snow Leopord with Safari 5.1.10 now

    How do I upgrade Safari?  I have Snow Leopord with Safari 5.1.10 now.
    Thanks

    You must upgrade the Mac OS to use any higher version of Saari than what you have. Mac Minis made before March 2009 can run no higher than OS 10.6.8 or, in some cases, OS 10.7.5. It would help us to know what variant of the Mini you have so we can make upgrade recommendations.
    If you are encountering web pages or functions that you cannot use because your Safari is too old, the simplest action is to switcher browsers to FireFox. It runs perfectly on OS 10.6.8 and is seen as a supported browser by the vast majority of web sites. Get it here:

  • Cannot upgrade (expand) iTunes 7.3

  • Cannot update Safari for Lion

    Hi,
    I have recently downgraded to Lion, and now I cannot seem to upgrade Safari to version 6. I cannot find it in available updates in neither Software Update nor App Store. Also I can't find direct download anywhere on the net. Where can I get a newer version of Safari?

    Safari isn't available as a download and is part of the OS install.

    I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".
    However, I did see two versions of Flash:
    _Flash Player.plugin with old date
    Flash Player.plugin with todays date
    I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem.
