Pinterest wants me to Update Safari 5.1.10....???

I am using an older iMac, running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Processing speed of 2.16 GHz
Memory of 1 GB
Although, I don’t know what my storage capacity is... (I would like some help of where to find that, plz.)
I get the frequent beach ball and sometimes the crashes that would go along with an old computer. Unfortunately, I am trying to save for a more current and updated computer, but I’m out of work and struggling just to pay bills. Being out of work has lead me to go to online print on demand websites to create designs and sell them online. For the majority of the time, the online website wants me to also update my browser to Firefox. But, I’m still okay I think using my Safari 5.1.10 -So far...
In the interim of buying a newer computer, and working on this tired but wonderful iMac with SL, please tell me if there’s an update to Safari that I should get now.
(All the wonderful websites like Pinterest and Zazzle keep telling me that it’s time to update my browser and I feel as though I’m being left very, very far behind. Even though I am routinely removing graphic files that help with speed and agility at certain times, it does appear that this browser update means it’s towards the end times of my old Safari.
If I could, I would remove all my graphics and photos from my computer to help it along. I know this does seem to work, but are the graphics, etc that are loading when I’m online bog down my computer? That’s ultimately what I’m experiencing. I continually clear history and empty cache a lot, with a bit of resetting Safari, even closing Safari, and even sometimes doing a restart.

Hi Morcash,
There are a few things you can do to string out the iMac's life a little farther. First, 1GB RAM is small even for Snow Leopard. If you have a Core Duo processor, you can install 2GB; if you have a Core 2 Duo processor, you can do 3GB.
To find your free space on your hard drive, highlight you hard drive's icon and press your SPACE bar to get this:
It will show the drive capacity and how much is free.
Make sure you are not running any anti-virus, internet security, or one of those "I'll Clean Your Mac" programs. They will kill your performance.
Don't turn up your nose at FireFox. Its current version still runs on Intel Macs with Mac OS 10.6--yours. FF is regularly updated for security and, if sites that can make you money are saying that is what they need, go for it. You can still use Safari for other stuff and use FF for the few sites that require a newer browser. I always have at least one browser other than Safari on all our Macs.
Gotta run for a couple of hours. Will check back later and pos more about adding RAM, including estimated costs.

Upgrade the computer’s OS, or switch to a product such as Firefox.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

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 do i update safari 5.0.6 to current version?

i haven't updated in a long time, now im trying to update itunes but it wants me to update safari first, yet i can't do it/find correct download

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X. For detailed information see this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271 )
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is still available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:

and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Before installation you should back up all your data.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

How can I get an updated safari browser?

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro, Mac OS X, version 10.6.8; I am getting error messages about updating my browser. I checked the apple store to see if I could download a new version of Safari, but could not. How can I get an updated safari browser at this time without downloading the new OS X Yosemite. I know I might need to download the Yosemite, but would prefer to wait untill all the glitches are fixed. I have learned that the Yosemite may cause wifi failure and e-mail connection problems. Since I am not a computer expert, I don't need the headaches trying to figure out how what is wrong and how to fix a bug, so I would prefer to wait untill apple has totally fixed all the glitches that the Yosemite has. In the meanwhile, I just need to know how to go about updating a newer version of safari. I thing I have a 5.0
I would be greatfull for your help or response.
"New to this"
<Subject Edited by Host>

Safari 5.1.10 is the newest version for Snow Leopard, and all available Mac OS X upgrades other than Yosemite require a purchase. You may want to switch to another browser, such as Firefox, temporarily.

How do I update safari on my macbook pro

how do I update safari on my macbook pro

Updates should be available through Software Update or the App Store.
The latest version for Leopard : Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
Snow Leopard : Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard
Lion & later : How to install Safari
>>If you need to reinstall Safari, simply reinstall OS X. Use Software Update after you reinstall OS X to >>make sure Safari and other OS X software are up to date.
If you want a later Safari than that available for your OS X version, you'll need to upgrade the OS.

Software update, safari 3.0.2 do not work after installing mac os 10.4.11

Hi,
I've been upgrading a B&W G3 from 10.3.9 to 10.4.x and after installing from a 10.4 retail disc I used the software updater to download and install 10.4.11. This worked fine, no errors. But, both Software Update and Safari will not load at all, they are not even showing in the Force Quit dialog. So I returned my system to 10.3.9 re-installed 10.4 and took an image of my installation. I then proceeded to install a combo update, repair permissions (a task I had been performing previously), test software update and safari (which both worked), take an image of the installation for combos 10.4.3, 10.4.5, 10.4.8 and 10.4.10. Everything worked fine. Then I installed the stand alone 10.4.11 and was presented with faulty Software Update and Safari!!!
I've concluded there is definitely something wrong with 10.4.11 update where it be a stand alone or part of the combo update.
Is there a get around, to install the update and then amended some files, settings or something?
Thanks

Tiger 10.4.11 uses Safari 4.1.3.
Safari 4.1.3 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
General advice on updating:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL170
And for Intel Macs here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL172
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.4.11 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was [i]not[/i] a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
[b][i]Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on.[/b][/i] Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Just updated Safari in 10.7.5 and now it will not load (beach ball)

I am running 10.7.5, and I do not want to update to 10.9 at the moment. I updated Safari, and now it will not load. It gets stuck at a white screen with the beach ball of death. Any ideas? Thanks.

I uninstalled Glims. That solved the problem.

Updating Safari without rebooting

I read an earlier topic that was closed out, because the original post was asking for an improvement to OS X, but I have found a work around.
Why should I have to reboot when I update Safari, even though it's not part of the OS? After all, one of the selling points of OS X is that being a Unix system, it does not have to be rebooted for every little change like Windows does.
OK, opt-cmd-escape, then Force Quit the updater. Safari will still be upgraded when you restart your Mac the next time, because you care about the earth and turn your Mac off overnight.
I'm not sure if it will work if you try to use Safari before you reboot. I use Firefox, and keep Safari on my Mac and upgraded only because it is usually best to have a backup browser.

Rebooting takes a lot more time than killing the Software Update program.
Killing a program just means hitting a single 2 modifier keystroke, then clicking on the program and hitting Force Quit.
Rebooting means closing all of my files and programs, so that I save only the files I want to save. Then I have to wait for the Mac to come back up and reload all of my login items, of which I have only 8, but these are very important.
And frankly, I don't want to interrupt what I'm in the middle of doing at the time.

How do I update Safari if can't update OSX 2007 Macbook?

Hello susanfromesc,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to update Safari without updating the OS. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

How do I update Safari from 1.3.2 to most current version?

I'm using OSX 10.3.9. I'm told I should update Safari from its current 1.3.2 (v312.6). I've updated software from Software Update successfully in the past, but a Safari update has never appeared in the Software Update dropdown menu. I downloaded Safari304BetaSecUpdateSetup.exe, but when I double click on the icon on the desktop, I get a message saying, "There is no default application specified to open the document Safari304BetaSecUpdateSetup.exe." So, how do I update Safari?
Thanks.

You are running the final version of Safari for panther 10.3.9.
If you want the latest safari 3.0.4 you will have to purchase Tiger and upgrade to at least 10.4.10. It will NOT run on the old panther.

HT201541 How can I update Safari without updating the OS?

How can I update Safari without updating the OS? I presently have 10.7.5 and 1.6.1
I am getting too many notices that my browser is out of date...
b
PS, a note to Apple. You use terms like Mountain Lion, Yosemite, etc. But in other places you use
10.6, 11.7, etc. Could you be consistent? use one or the other, not both. Please. Or always use both together.

Shoot Apple, you don't make things easy. I don't want to upgrade OS as you now require an itunes account to get upgrades, and I'm against that. (until I have to).
So I switched to the chrome browser, that works.
PS, Ralph, yes, I can lookup the version numbers, but I have not felt the need to memorize them. My question is why does apple make it so difficult that we have to memorize the version number to name correspondence?
