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)

  • Safari accidentally DELETED!! Can I get it back?

    I by accident deleted Safari and I don't have the installation CD. So now I'm stuck without Safari and when I try and download a version that works with 10.3.9 it looks for a previous version of Safari but obviously I don't have this. Could someone help me in getting the latest version of Safari that works on 10.3.9 on my computer. Is there any way?

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    This is somewhat obscure, however, there does exist a downloadable copy of Safari 1.2. You'll need to use another browser, or someone else's computer to get a copy.
    Before downloading, open the Finder. There navigate to HD>Library>Receipts and move to the trash (command/delete) any Safari receipt package.
    Next, download Safari 1.2 from here.
    Once installed, apply the 10.3.9 Combined Update. Do not use the computer during the install. Once done, go to your Utilities folder>Disk Utility and "repair permissions". This update brings Safari up to v 1.3 (unless Apple has since updated the Combined Update to include Safari 1.3.2). You can check Safari's version by going to the Finder: Applications>Safari.app and opening the Info panel of the application (command/I keys after single clicking on Safari). If it's 1.3.2 you're complete.
    Otherwise, you can bring Safari up to version 1.3.2 as follow: first, apply the 1.3.1 update, followed by the 1.3.2 update. Once finished, again "repair permissions".
    Now go to Software Update in your System Preferences and check for updates. There may or may not be Security Updates for Safari. If there are, select them and let them install. As mentioned above, do not use the computer while the Installer is running.

  • I have accidentally uninstalled iphoto and I cannot get it back.

    I have accidentally uninstalled iphoto and now when I open the app store to attempt to reinstall it, it gives me a message saying " These apps cannot be accepted on this computer." My MBP came with iphoto preinstalled so I don't have any cds to use to re-install the software. Please help.

    You need to contact App Store support for help with this. They are the only ones who can assist.

    Not sure why you posted your iPhone question in the support forum for the Apple routers.......the AirPort Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    You will likely receive a more informed answer if you post your iPhone question in the iPhone support forum. The link is just below.

    You can right click on a toolbar (e.g. empty space on Tab bar) to get a context menu that allow to set which toolbars to display.
    If the menu bar is visible then use:
    * View > Toolbars
    If the menu bar is hidden and you have the orange Firefox button then use:
    * Firefox > Options

  • I have lost my itunes and can't get them back. How do I do it?

    I have lost my itunes library and cannot get them back. How do I do it?

    '''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
    Press ALT+ V T M (CTRL+V T M on Macs) on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6)
    '''Other toolbars'''
    View|Toolbars|Select the desired Toolbar
    '''Other steps to try'''
    Try restoring the default set by going to View|Toolbars|Customize| Restore Default Set. This will put the toolbars back in the default place
    '''Safe Mode'''
    You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
    Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.
    Hope this helps!

  • I-cloud in my i-pad settings was accidentally deleted. How can I get this back?

    Usually I-cloud is in the settings folder under mail,contacts,etc. It isn't there and I'm not sure where it went to or when.  Is there a way for me to get it back without having to buy it?

    iCloud is free. If your iPad is running iOS 5, there will be an iCloud item in the main Settings list. Click that and you should be able to set the iCloud account up again.

  • I deleted safari how can i get it back and i have OS X 10.9.4

    i deleted with appzaper  so its deleted from my mac non a dust from it.

    Since it's part of Mac OS X you have to reinstall the OS. Boot up the computer while holding the Command and R keys, and in the main menu of Recovery, choose Reinstall OS X.
    You could also download the Mavericks installer from the App Store.

  • I accidentally deleted a photobook--can I get it back?

    I've been regularly backing up with Time Machine but can't seem to find the book.  I have all of the photos--no problem there, but I don't know where to look in Time Machine.  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
    MB

    Ok, how do I go about doing that, and what exactly will that entail?  Will it restore every photo I've ever deleted, or just since the last Time Machine sync?  When I'm in TM, I see all of the photos that I've used and albums and such in the left hand margin, but there's no heading for Keepsakes, which books fall under.

    If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
    All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
    This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

    I have a mackeeper virus and can't get rid of it??? Please someone help me?

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?

    After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
    I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone. 
    After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!) 
    Is there any way I can get my songs back? 
    When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans  the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
    Thanks
