I keep getting told to update Safari 5 but there are no updates

I keep getting information come up on different sites and Hotmail telling me to update my Safari 5 but my Macbook will not accept Firefox, Opera or Chrome and there does not seem to be an update for Safari 5.  What can I do. please?  I have a Macbook 13" Aluminium late 2008  Says its OS X 10.5.8  Hope someone out there can help.  Thank you for reading.  Cate

You may be able to use TenFourFox. This is basically Firefox adapted for older Macs. It receives updates and security patches, just like Firefox.

    You may connect it to iTunes and update it from there.

  • HT202879 I am stumped - trying to open a recent Pages file but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available.  I recently updated Pages but it is not consistent.

    I am stumped - I am trying to open a recent Pages file (created with a newer software that I thought was correctly installed recently) but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available. Pages 09 version 4.3 shows as my current version.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not.

  • My macbook pro needs to be updated but when going to the software update it says there are no updates. its incredibly behind.

    my macknook pro is incredibly behind in updates. however when selecting software update it says there are no updates. i can't do much with it due to nothing running on the software i have currently.

    To get to the next release of OS X, which is Snow Leopard 10.6, you must purchase the install DVD for it from Apple.
    This is the next required upgrade from 10.5. Once you get there then you can consider upgrading to newer version if your MBP will support them.

  • I need to use iMovie, but it says that my Quick Time needs to be updated.. but there are no new updates available

    i need to use imovie for a project and i tried to open it but it says i need version 7.6.0 or later, so i went to software updates and there are no updates for my computer.
    Any suggestions on what to do?!
    thanks,
    lauren

    It depends on what iPhone you have.
    If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
    If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

  • Pages says its updating even though there are no updates

    My macbook pro won't open pages or numbers.  It says they are updating but there were no updates available.
    Restarting doesn't help.

    Hello Nancy,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Pages and Numbers on your iMac.  I have a couple of suggestions to get this working. 
    First, I recommend checking to see if the update was interrupted.  Use the steps in this article:
    Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4485
    If you do not see any updates to resume, I recommend force quitting the Mac App Store and then trying to open Pages and Numbers.  Use these steps:
    Press Command-Option-Esc, then select the unresponsive app from the Force Quit window that appears, and click Force Quit.

  • I have Firefox as my default browser. My anti virus says the web browser is out of date and I can't update Firefox as there are no update available. What is the solution?

    I recently had a Dell Tech Specialist work on my computer. I apparently was having trouble with my current browser at the time, which was IE-7. The tech uninstalled it and downloaded Firefox. Computer works great but I cannot update the web browser as there are no updates available on Firefox. I have Norton as the antivirus program. Any suggestions on how to remedy this? I have windows XP

    You are using Firefox 3.6.3 which is an old version, the current version is 3.6.13.
    To update it either use the "Check for updates" option in the Help menu, or download and install the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/

  • Iphoto won't load an gives me a message box that states that it is being updated, but there are no updates available

    The new update for iphoto has locked my app up and I now can't access iphoto.  I've restarted and turned off and rebooted, but the software is still locked up with the error message that it is updating.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • On my iTunes page it keeps telling me there are updates available but there are not.

    In my iTunes account it tells me i have updates available however when i go to do the updates there is nothing to update. Finding this really annoying and would like to get this fixed. Anyone got any tips?

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • TS1567 I cannot upgrade my ipad as advised at the apple store by doing it via itunes.  I keep getting told Mobile Device Service not there... It is on Automatic.  Have reinstalled Itunes and AMDS.... Help please.

    I have been to the Apple Store and been advised to upgrade my ipad2 with all since my purchase last year I need to go to Itunes on my computer, go to check, and click and all should upgrade.  Not so easy, have had no success.  Have reinstalled itunes, restarted my ipad and tried again. 
    Please help

    Why don't you take a different approach like take it off of automatic and restart it on your own and then see if you can update the iPad?

  • Firefox doesn't recognize FLASH after update, no matter what. Also says to update plugins but there are none to update listed?

    I have downloaded & re-downloaded FLASH, but after I updated my Firefox to 22.0 it no longer recognizes FLASH is installed on my computer. It also keep telling me "Some plugins required by this page have been blocked for your protection." When I check the plugins, the 3 listed are up to date, and the other 3 are marked "research" - which doesn't allow you to update them. I cannot discern that any of those are what is being blocked. When I click on Details, it brings me to a list of "Modules bloqués" and it's all listed in French...which would be great if spoke French or lived in France, but alas California is in the USA. My Java is updated, enabled & not blocked in any way. My Shockwave Flash is disabled & it will not give me the option to Enable it; I also cannot find a way to reinstall it or find a plugin to help me. !@#$%! So frustrating that this new "update" is useless. I hate 22.0.
    What do I do now?

    Your System Details List shows that some plugins are blocklisted and Flash is included:
    # plugin.blocklisted.flash: True
    # plugin.blocklisted.java: True
    # plugin.blocklisted.nppdf: True
    Which version of the Flash plugin do you have installed if you check that in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > > Plugins?
    You will have to update Flash to make it work.
    You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.

  • My new iPod Touch is iOS 6.0.1 but will not update to 6.1.3.  I have attempted the OTA and the iTunes update methods but both are not updating the iOS.  Am I doing something wrong?

    I meant to mention that it is a 16gb 4th gen iPod.

    Yup.  Some unknown error according to the message and an error code that does not list on the Apple support pages.  I am updated on Windows 7, iTunes, and have no other USB devices connected.  I tried to follow any other advice that Apple listed but nothing helped.  The OTA update acts like it is updating and even reboots the device but once it is fully booted, I check and it still says current version 6.0.1 and the check update still shows that 6.1.3 is available.  I am giving up and taking it back to Sam's where I bought it yesterday for a full refund.

  • HT1338 I use gotomypc and since I downloaded mountain lion I am unable to launch the program.  It says I need to install java but when I go to "software update" it says there are no updates.  Any ideas?

    Ever since I updates to mountain lion I can' use gotomypc because it says I need to install java.  When I follow the instructions to install by going to software update there is nothing to update in the app store.  How do I manually install java?

    just found an answer on another feed
    Re: mountain lion java
    In spotlight, type in Java, and click on Java Preferences in the list - it will then start downloading and installingthe new version. (my java version is now 1.6.0_33-b03-424)
