Installing latest Safari

Dear fellow Mac Users,
This is a very elementary question as I am a novice user. I have been having trouble with the Safari 1.3.2 that came with my Mac mini nearly two years ago (along with the OS 10.3.9) "unexpectedly quitting." I thought I could download the latest Safari and it would install itself or it would be obvious how to install it. Neither is the case to me.
Will this new version of Safari work on OS 10.3.9?
Will it likely solve the problem of "unexpected quitting"?
If yes to the above, how do I install it after downloading the file?
Thanks to anyone who has the time and knowledge to assist me.
Regards, TomNM

Hi Tom,
As QuickTimeKirk says, the latest Safari is for 10.4.11 only.
Can you post the crash report text that you get when Safari quits? It might be caused by something we can rectify.
You can obtain the crash report text by clicking the (Report...) button in the Unexpectedly Quit window and then copying and pasting the text here.

  • Leopard does not boot after installing latest Safari update

    Hi, please help!
    I succesfully (or so I thought...) installed the latest Safari/iTunes/Quicktime update and restarted computer. This first restart worked but Safari wouldn't open, so I restarted again... but this time it didn't work! It just gets into a blue blank screen forever...

  • Installed latest Safari update, now iMac won't boot?

    OK, I'm baffled. This has never happened before. I was using my machine just fine this afternoon. I got a notification that new software was available and I checked and it said it was a safari update. So I downloaded and chose to reboot later when I finished all my work and closed a bunch of items down.
    I went upstairs to eat dinner, and came back down expecting to see the machine up and running. Uh-Uh. So I held the side button down until it beeped and then released it. Heard the "ta-da" and the black screen turned light gray but no slotted pinwheel. It stays right there. I tried pulling the plug for 10-15 seconds, same deal. It stops after the musical intro on the gray screen and never gos further.
    Is there any way to force-boot the system? Is this what some people refer to as "freezing" or planned obsolescence? I bought an iMac because I was tired of fighting with PC hardware, OS's, and viruses. I would hate to believe that Apple has sunken so low so as to plan the early death of this marvelous machine. Its shameful that I have to use an old PC to get on an Apple Support site and ask about what's wrong with my Mac. At least with the PCs you can easily rip them apart and replace bad components. Here I'm trapped in Apple's all-in-one don't you dare take it apart design.
    Hopefully there's a easy way out and maybe someone will clue me in.

    No, Apple is not out to get you.
    What is most likely is simply the physics of magnetic media. From your description I'd say something untoward happened during the Safari install. Whether that was corruption of your directory or a physical failure of your hard drive or something else I can't say, but the first step should be to locate your Install DVD and see if you can boot from it. Insert the disk while the screen is grey; the iMac should still "eat" it. If not you'll need to find an external DVD drive and use that.
    Assuming you have a DVD loaded and the machine boots from it the first thing I would do is run Disk Repair on your internal hard drive. You will find this in the menu options on screen, upper left hand side... I can't remember the exact sequence, but poke around, you'll find Disk Utilities, one of which is Disk Repair. Run that and hopefully your problem will be solved. If not you can resort to stronger medicine like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro, but those are 3rd party apps that costs quite a bit of $$$. If you don't want to try repairing and your Mac boots from the Install disk you can (hopefully you've kept a backup of your data) try a fresh install of OS X, or drop into an Apple Store and see what they can do for you at the Genius Bar. Good luck!

    Hi Stewartirl,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Are you only having issues opening Safari? Are you able to connect to the internet with other Browsers or using Mail?
    The article below is a good starting point for troubleshooting.  I'd start by plugging in an ethernet cable and restarting the computer.  If the wired (LAN) connection works, then unplug the ethernet cable and continue troubleshooting the wireless connection.

    My banking website ask me to install latest IE . but IE8/9 does not work with mac

    You should contact your bank to see what browsers they support and until then ignore the message. The chances are very good they suppport Safari and Firefox, both are great browers.

  • Autofill stopped working after installing latest OS Mountail Lion update Can anyone help? I've gone into preferences and

    Autofill has stopped working after installing latest update to OS X Mountail Lion (10.8). Latest of many problems with this OS - wish I had never upgraded to it. Can anyone help?

    Hi Eric, it is Safari but I thunk I've solved it by dragging the autofill into the safari toolbar and clicking on it when I want to use the fearture. Nothing else worked. this OS is a crock as far as I am concerned.

  • IMac won't restart after latest Safari update.

    I just downloaded the latest Safari update (5.1.2) on my iMac (27", i7, latest Snow leopard).  The download (via software update) and install went smooth but when asked to restart, it hangs up at the gray screen...after the blue screen/start up chime, but before the apple logo appears. I tried shutting down and rebooting but it keeps hanging at the same place. 
    Thank you in advance for any successful solutions!
    Kind regards,

    Hi all,
    Thank you for the replies...
    I did manage to solve the problem right away by following the instructions offered by Apple:  Remove all USB cables, then do a hard reboot.  Then to isolate the cable causing the problem, plug in one at a time and reboot until the problem happens again.  In my case, the issue was caused by a Flip Camera that was plugged into a USB hub. 
    I hope this helps those with a similar problem.
    Regards,
    Mark

  • Safari Toolbar on latest Safari search engine

    Hi Amr
    In the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences. There, move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari.
    This resets Safari Preferences to default values. Restore any custom settings in Preferences, View Menu, customize toolbar, and Edit menu (spelling). When complete, quit/restart Safari.

  • Full and Latest Safari for Leopard

    Can someone point me where to download the full and latest Safari for Mac OS X Leopard ? Not the update one. I think I have corrupted the Safari by using a third party software.
    I have tried to download from the apple website, but it seems cant be installed on my macbook.
    Thanks.

    Ouch - is there an uninstaller in the SafariSpeed package?
    You could use the shareware program Pacifist to extract Safari 3.1.2 from the MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.5.dmg. I am not sure if this will fix all the damage though. Did you not backup recently with Time Machine - if so, you can restore your system prior to when you installed SafariSpeed.
    If this does not work then you have a little work ahead doing an archive and install to completely restore your system.

  • Latest safari

    the latest safari and the same problems continue. But worst than the other versions. The flash plug in much more hog the cpu and mem than ever. More lag on the web sites. These updates completely unuseful.
    Is there anyone's advice to make this browser accurate. ??
    or the only solution is uninstalling it and try another browser ?
    Thanks.

    HI,
    Install ClickToFlash so you have more control.
    http://clicktoflash.com/
    You can access the Settings from your Safari menu once it's installed.
    Works fine on v10.6.5 and Safari 5.0.3
