Latest version of Safari won't work with my version of OS.

I downloaded the latest version of Safari but it won't work with my version of OS (10.6.8). ***! It's pretty frustrating that my computer allowed me to download it without noticing it's not compatible--seems like a simple enough concept to check for that BEFORE effing someone up entirely.
How do i revert back to the old version of Safari? I was using Chrome but it's become impossibly slow.
Thanks!

When you click on the proxy icon for an asset, does the "Search All Jobs" view show a "downloading" message indicating that the proxy is being transferred to your local machine?
Also, what specific software versions (Quicktime and FCS) are you working with?

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden?

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden? A few weeks ago Safari was working OK but now I often have to use Firefox to visit certain webpages.
Anyone else having this same problem?
Is there a quick fix?
I'm using Safari 2.0.4
Thanks.

Hi QuickTimeKirk,
I have WMP version 9, as well. I do not use F4M, for many users f4mac is what helps.
I find some items work while others do not. I always get an alert about the wmp , which version it is, takes very long to load, I find it is not consistant with Safari, as seems the poster of this topic has found.

though 41 errors is not as poor as some, Firefox handles the site better than Safari, imo.
Some sites just work better with Firefox or an other browser.

Safari won't work with Adobe Shockwave plugin items on websites, despite...

Safari won't play Adobe Shockwave files on websites, despite updating Shockwave in Safari. It works perfectly in Firefox. Is anyone else seeing this?
I want to give you an example: Try these files on both Safari and Firefox. In Safari, you cannot even view the items that are supposed to be there. http://pdm6e.music.utexas.edu/p024-26.htm
Thanks!

Safari won't work with Webkinz site

My kids (and me) play games on the Webkinz site, but we can't successfully login through Safari, so we use Firefox. But, if we play a long time, Firefox "unexpected quits", and because we have dial up, it takes a long time to get logged back in and everything reloaded, as Firefox empties the cache when it quits. When trying to log in through Safari, the program seems to stall. When reading the loading information from the status bar, it loads about 36 of 41 items, and then nothing happens. I have tried Safari 4.0 on my PC, and it does the same thing - stalls at about 41 items. We use dial-up at home, but I have a fast connection at work on my PC.
The bottom line is I am trying to find a solution that doesn't crash. Any ideas?
Thanks

New version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

new version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

When I try to open safari a message says: You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
I see Recovery needs Wi Fi which is not available here and Recovery is loaded with a list of potential disasters.
To heck with Safari I'll just use Firefox. Apple sure screwed up here judging from the multitude of similar complaints on the internet.

I would like to update to Firefox 5.0.1, but I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled.

I have wanted to update from 3.6.22, to 5.0.1, but can't do to the following reasons: I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled. They are: Microsoft. NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1, Iconix 3.90.1, HP Detect 1.0.5.1, Yahoo! Toolbar 2.3.5.201101200332202 (I don't care about Yahoo! Toolbar, because I don't use it!). As soon as these issues are fixed, I will be able to update, to the latest versions. These issues should be fixed & ready to work, before a new version is available. Thank you!

Try using this extension to force compatibility.

Has anyone had problems with the latest driver update for the Lexmark printers? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update.

Has anyone had problems with the latest Lexmark printer driver update? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update. If I reinstall an older version of the drivers, they work.

Mine crashed once with new update, but working fine.
I had to delete old printer, restart iMac, and then reinstall
new drivers to get it to work. Would not complete without
the restart after deleting non-working printer. No problems
since and all features working.

Still cant download youtubes even w/firefox and the addon that won't work with the current FF version

For all that FF is supposed to be for me it's junk. I've spent hours trying to solve the download problem with realplayer and youtube. Finally tried FF but one obstacle after another. The youtube downloader won't work with this latest version of FF. If I try to download other things I get the stupid pop up saying to download FF. Already have it dumb ass! Navigation on the forums is basically worthless.

yes it says it's not compatable with the latest ff

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now Safari won't work. What version of Safari do I need?

I finally got around to updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now Safari won't work. It was version 4.0.5. I know I should of upgraded prior but didn't need to because everything was working. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Are you opening Safari directly from /Applications rather than using a Dock shortcut ?.
If the one in /Applications won't work either - what happens exactly... if there's a crash report, please post it here.
Also, check Software Update, and/or manually install Safari 5.1.9 for Snow Leopard

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

HP Laserjet P1006 won't work with Windows 8.1

I have an HP Laserjet P1006 which I installed on my new Windows 8 laptop. Everything was working fine. I did an update last night to 8.1. The printer no longer works. I went to the website and downloaded the latest driver which said it would work with 8.1. After it was installed the printer still would not work. When I go to the control panel and see the printer it still tells me no driver is found. HELP
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello
I understand you are no longer able to print with the P1006 on Win8.1.
Did you uninstall the P1006 first?
If not uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
Both drivers are the same if you look at the version on the website and should still work with the Win8.1.
If you need more assistance just let me know.
