Need to reinstall Safari 5.1.7 on OS 10.7.5. Won't let me because uncompatible version 6 is there.

I'm on OS 10.7.5. I downloaded Safari 6 thinking I could use it. I can't on 10.7.5. Now the OS won't let me reinstall Safari 5.1.7 on the HD. How can I do this - help please. Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Safari 6 is compatible with OS X Lion (you can get it from  > Software Update), but it looks like you installed the Mountain Lion version.
Unfortunately, the only thing you can do now is to reinstall OS X Lion. Hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting and reinstall OS X. Finally, after reinstalling, open  > Software Update, and install all updates, including Safari 6. You won't lose anything saved

I need to reinstall Safari,

I need to reinstall Safari. I had to dump it because it picked up a virus that locked it up. How do I go about Reinstalling it?
Thanks, Steve

Not sure about the "virus" piece as no virus has been written to affect Macs. Perhaps a file was corrupted.
If you haven't done so trash the Safari.app. Also, as a precaution, prior to reinstalling Safari, move your Safari Folder, found in your User Library to the Desktop. It has your bookmarks, history etc.) Once the reinstall is completed, move the folder back to its original location writing over the newly created folder.
Have a look at this Apple article for installing other software, including Safari, from the Tiger DVD - see the section titled More custom reinstallation options with Mac OS X 10.4.
Notice your tag says 10.4. I'm assuming you are using 10.4.8? Is that true? If not post back before completing next paragraph suggestion.
Remember too, the version of Safari you install will be specific to the Version on your installer DVD. Therefore, either run Software Update and see if Safari is updated. If not, you can reapply the 10.4.8 combo update. Repair permissions when you are finished.

Logic does not see my hd omni as an input device. Any ideas? I've been told to reinstall logicpro - but apple won't let me because it says its already installed on this machine.

I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.

If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here;
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:

Hello Mshlanta,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
iOS 7 requires iTunes version 11.1. If your software updates are not seeing the update for whatever reason, you can download and install it directly from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Keep in mind the requirements to download iTunes 11.1:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
And
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
All the best,
Sterling

Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

Do I need to Reinstall Safari

A "friend" suggested I install Acidsearch but it seems to have mucked up my copy of Safari. It now fails to load at all. On my daughters account on the same computer all is well. I've tried removing stuff from my own Library/Safari folder, checking permissions and reinstalling 10.4.3 but with no success. Any way to just reinstall Safari and get it working again?
Powerbook Ti G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

There is a note on VersionTracker that says that both VersionTracker and MacUpdate had version 0.6 which apparently has problems with Safari 2.0.2, although both sites say that the download is for v. 0.61 which is fixed to work for Safari 2.0.2. I know that as of today, at least, they both now have v. 0.61, which has a date of Dec. 4, 2005 in the Get Info box (the date on the Acid Search pages on both MacUpdate and versionTracker is still Nov. 1, 2005). Is it possible you got the wrong version of Acid Search? If this was the case, you could try downloading a fresh copy and try reinstalling.
Also, how did you try to uninstall Acid Search? This is one program for which you must use the publisher's uninstall routine. To uninstall Acid Search, you need to open the Installer and click on the Uninstall button. If you did not use their uninstall routine, you still might want to reinstall Acid Search so that you can properly use their uninstall routine.

I was on Instagram and I clicked this link that lead me to safari but a box keeps popping up and it won't let me Delete the tab, can someone help me pleased??? I can't even use safari, is there a way to delete it or something???

Quit Safari completely, clear Safari and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Safari app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

Safari keeps freezing and crashing on my macbook. Won't let me 'force quit', re-start or shut down. HELP!

Sometimes when I am surfing the internet each website gets slower and slower to load, and eventually the little loading rainbow icon just keeps going round and round and it has frozen and crashed. What concerns me also is the fact that when this happens it won't even let me 'force quit Safari'. Although I can still bring other applications up (other than the internet), it won't let me shut down or restart either. The only way to get the internet working again is to press the power button which I know I shouldn't do, but what choice do I have when it won't let me force quit, restart or shut down?
I am up to date with all the software updates. Because I was having this crashing problem I downloaded both iBoostUp (off app store) and MacKeeper off the internet to scan for hidden viruses etc, but it still hasn't eradiated the problem.

Tell us what Extensions you put there; if no extension, what other apps you installed BEFORE this began to occur.
You must fall under one of these situations.

Just bought a 5C iphone and when I when I tried to download everything from my computer it won't let me because I need to upgrade the IOS. Unfortunately my apple computer is older so it won't let me download. What else can I do?

I just bought a iphone 5c and when I tried to use my computer to download the syncd version of my phone I found out I needed the latest version of the IOS. I tried downloading the latest version and it won't let me do it unless I upgrade. What else can I do? I don't want to buy a new computer....

If you want to synch your iPhone with iTunes on your computer, you will need to meet the minimum requirements. If this requires you to upgrade your computer then you will need to do so. System requirements for the iPhone 5c are clearly posted on Apple's website and this should have been considered before you bought your phone. There's no way around the system requirements.

Need to Reinstall Safari without Leopard CD

I deleted Safari because it kept crashing. I thought I could reinstall it from my Leopard CD but I lost the CD. Is there any way of reinstalling without the CD?

Hi,
I did this, but now it says i can't use the program with the version of OSX that i have.
I'm sorry for the confusion, my previous response was directed towards Yugo, who is on a 10.4.11 system. In your case, unless you are willing to apply the 10.5.2 Combo Update, and barring someone sending you the application bundle for Safari from their Leopard DVD, I'm afraid there is no way to do it.
I don't know if you ccan install just Safari 3.0.4 from the 10.5.2 Combo Update without applying the update, but if the package installer does allow it, running an updated Safari with out-dated frameworks could spell even more trouble.

Can't save passwords - Do I need to reinstall Safari or 10.7.5?

I've gone through the process of checking Auto Fill and checked "User names and passwords".
I don't see the window... Do you want to save this password.
Safari 6.0.3
OSX 10.7.5

This did not work.
The words “Passwords Never Saved” did not show up on my list of saved Websites, User Name or Passwords.
Could I have trashed or disabled the Keychain program?

I reinstalled photoshop elements 6 to my computer and now it won't let me register it. How do I fix this?

I had to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop elements 6 to my Windows 7 computer because the brushes were glitching on me, and now it won't accept my serial number to register it to my computer. I received it from a bundle package when I installed my tablet back in 2008ish. The warning is "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet". I have retyped it several times to make sure I put the right number without any luck either.

Not for free, no. Well I guess there is. Don't sync your phone. We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.
Some people don't seem to need 10.7. Discussion suggesting iOS6 will work with iTunes 10.6.3 for some phones - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4324248

I'm trying to purchase shogun 2 but it won't let me because I don't have enough disk space, I managed to free 33Gbs but still nothing, how much free space do I need for that?

It doesn't even let me download Empire Total war which is 13gb

First, the App Store will not allow a download that, when expanded, would leave less than the minimum amount of available space on the startup volume that Apple considers necessary, which is about 9 GB. The download is a compressed archive that will usually expand to about twice its size. Both the archive and the expanded files will be present at the same time, so the actual amount of space needed is about three times the size of the archive.
If you're trying to add a large amount of data all at once, and you get an alert of insufficient space, then from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine
If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then back ON and close the preference pane. Restart the computer. Test.
