I accidentally deleted Safari and I can't re-install it

I accidentally dragged Safari to my trash and emptied it without realizing it was in there. Tried to re-install Safari from Apples' download site, but it keeps telling me I have the wrong version of the OSX (even though I don't, I have the latest 10.5.2).
I've tried to search online for solutions, but I only get articles about people solving this on older OSX versions using the OSX install DVD. This hasn't worked for me, or, at least, I don't know how to.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Insert the Leopard DVD and open the "Optional Installs" folder.
Double click the Optional Installs.mpkg icon.
Click the small triangle in front of the Applications folder to expand the list.
Place a check mark next to Safari and run the installer.
Use Software Update to move to the most current version.

Thanks Niel, but I don't really know what you mean. Sorry, but if you can, would you mind adding more detail? I'm really thankful for your help though!

I accidentally deleted garageband and I can not find the disks how to recover it?

Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

I have accidentally deleted Safari and can't get it back...

I've read previous topics about this problem, but none of them have solved it for me.
I'm running Tiger, and do not have Leopard.
I tried the install disc method which involves running the Optional Installs.mpkg file, but that file is not on my install disc. I do have a similar file, but among the programs it installs (such as Garage Band, Mail, etc), Safari is not one of them.
It's probably worth noting that I do have Safari.app in my applications folder, but the icon is a generic application icon, not the safari icon, and when I click to run it, it tells me it is incomplete or damaged, and cannot run.
Please, I'd really appreciate any solution to this problem. Thank you.

*Hi Captain, Welcome* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
Neils method will certainly work. I think you can do it this way too. On your install disc look for Optional installs. You will then need to Combo update to where you want to be. (10.4.11)

Accidently deleted Safari and now can't reinstall

My brother was messing with my macbookpro while i was outside and he some how deleted my Safari. Now when i try to reinstall it it says it can't because there is an updated version already. Anyway to fix this?

Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone!
I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes.

I had photoshop accidentally deleted it and now can't reinstall it

I had photoshop and a bunch of other programs tried to free up memory. Got another external hard drive and now ca't reinstall it. Keeps taking me back to the download page and when I hit download nothing happens.

WIthout proper system info and other technical details like what version of PS you are trying to install or what browser you use to download nobody can even begin to guess.

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Alex,
It's important to have the Installer DVD (2 Discs for some) for a variety of reasons: installing the OS, Disk Management (e.g. repair function for the Hard Drive, reinstall of Apple software, etc.). If you can't find it, I encourage you to purchase another one - have a look on Ebay. Must be either a commercial version, or one specific to the G4 Powerbook. Other types of Tiger Installers may not work on your machine.
Adding to ~Bee's helpful comment/suggestion, type Safari in the spotlight panel. Does Safari.app appear? (in your System Preferences>Spotlight, "applications" needs to be checked for .app types to appear in your Search.) If it doesn't appear, then the only way you'll be able to reinstall Safari is via the DVD Installer Disc.
Upgrading to 10.4.8 may cause installation complications if the Installer looks for Safari and cannot find it on your system. So I suggest waiting until you get the Safari piece resolved.

I accidentally deleted bonjour and cannot connect my printer, how can I connect my printer?

I accidentally deleted my Bonjour how can I hook up my printer?? Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Since it is a preinstalled apps, you can not delete it. As Ann said, depending upon your phone and OS, you can disable it. Check in the apps drawer. If you can not find it there, go to Systems>Application Manager, then flip the top files to "all". Next flip down the list until you get to Google Play Store. Tap on it and you will see a key titled "Enable". Tap on this and it should return to normal. You probably will have to put it on a home screen, if you want to.

I accidentally deleted Dictionary and can't find my install CD?

I accidentally deleted Dictionary (and TextEdit, but I don't really use that one). ((And yes I emptied the trashcan))
I thought they were just shortcuts, but I guess not.
And now I can't use the three-finger tap to look things up. Is there any way to retrieve Dictionary without reinstalling?

I have a 2009 macbook and I accidentally deleted Safari. How do I reinstal it?

If it's in a backup, restore it from there.
If not and the computer's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, install it from the Mac OS X install DVD, using Pacifist if needed, and then run the combo updater for that version as well as all applicable Safari and security updates.
If not and the computer's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down and reinstall the OS.

Hi, i've accidentally deleted my imessage, how can i reinstall it?

Only by reinstalling OS X.
Boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and elect to resinatll OS X. It will take some time. None of you data, etc., will be erased (although it's always a good idea to have a backup).
Good luck,
Clinton
