I have Safari 5.1.10 on my iMac 10.6.8.  How to update Safari to 6.  Constantly told browser is outdated.

I have Safari 5.1.10 on my iMac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  Constantly told need to update browser to 6.0.  Software Update indicates no update available.  What can I do?

One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.

  • How to update safari, how to update safari

    how to update safari, how to update safari ???

    You will normally update Safari via software update.   The latest version is Safari 6 but that is for Lion and Mountain Lion.   Your machine version is not known as you have not completed your profile so if it is earlier than this 5.1.7 would be for you.   You can download via  Download Apple Safari for Mac - Fast and elegant Web browser. MacUpdate.com     Hope this solves your problem.

  • I need to unlock my ipad, lost passcode, I need  to know how to update safari so I can finish step 4 to back up.

    I have a apple iPad mini I bought new last year in November.  I don't know much of anything else except it has 16GB. There aren't any other problems
    besides me forgetting the passcode. I have tried to get help from apple support but seemed to go in circles.  It has been off for 2 weeks, they had me
    update the iTunes and I tried to do the passcode but now it wants me to update Safari. I don't know where to find it.
    I AM getting ready for step 4, but I don't know what that is. There was a back up or manual back up for all my data so I don't lose it, that is where I stopped,
    just after step 3 was completed. I am completely lost.

    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
    A
    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
    4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
    5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
    6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    7. iOS - Unable to update or restore
    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
                iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If nothing above helps:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • How to update Safari on Snow Leopard IMac

    I have an IMac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Have occasion to run Mail Chimp and it says Safari needs to be updated.  I've run my Software Update in the Apple Logo drop down box and it reports that all updates are already complete.  Why would Mail Chimp say that the Safari program was not adequate to use their program?
    Is there another way to update Safari?  I see something called "Safari Extensions" on the drop down for Safari.  Would this be what I need to load?  They are all various commercial programs that hook up to Safari. 

    1. If you're using Safari 5.1.10, it's up to date as far as Snow Leopard is concerned. Going further requires upgrading the computer's OS.
    2. Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

  • I have had lightroom 4 for awhile and would like to know how to update to lightroom 5 and how much it would cost

    I have had lightroom for awhile and would like to know how to update to lightroom 5 and how much it will cost

    You can buy an upgrade to 5 for $79 from the Adobe store: Products. You can buy it for a few dollars cheaper (not counting tax and delivery) from Amazon and other places online.
    When you install 5 and start it, it will make a copy of your 4 catalog and convert it to version 5 (leaving the 4 catalog untouched): Lightroom catalog FAQ.

  • 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

  • HT201541 how to update safari 5.1.10 to OS X

    I just installed OS X Yosemite and my safari 5.1.10 is no longer working I'm trying to download the new version of safari but i'm unable to find it, can anyone help me?

    Only Safari 8 works in Yosemite. There is no separate download. It should have been installed with Yosemite. If there is no Safari 8 version installed, then you will need to reinstall Yosemite:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Also see:

  • How to update Safari from 5.1.10??

    I have been trying to update my safari browers from 5.1.10 to the latest version so I can update to Yosemite, however, I keep seeing that there are no updates available??  Why is this happening??

    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

  • I can not install itunes on my computer. It tells me I need to update safari, and I have. Help please

    I can not install itunes on my computer.  It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that. Please help.

    It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that.
    That's an unusual message to be getting on a Windows system. (Typically it's a Mac itunes installation message.)
    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please, tamara.
    Try another iTunes install. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
    Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

  • Safari 6.0.3 doesnt work now that I installed Mountain Lion Update?

    I just installed the Mountain Lion update on my Mac Book Pro.
    Now, when I open Safari, it sits and spins (won't access any websites or anything). I checked on firefox (internet works), I closed it and reopened it. I restarted my computer...all to no avail.
    How do I reinstall Safari or try to reinstall ML in order to get the newly updated Safari to work? Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks All!

    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. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. 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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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, or by a peripheral device.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot 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.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6?  Thanks to you from the UnTechie

    The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
    You cannot reverse the upgrade.
