Reinstalling Safari in Mountain Lion

I can't find how to reinstall Safari for Mountain Lion. The App Store is confusing as all get-out and I can't find any download link on the Safari page, just a bunch of blurbs telling me how great it is. Apparently the version I have has developed dementia and I would like to reinstall it. Can someone give me a clue about how to do this? Thanks. :-)

It's best to describe the problem, rather than your conclusion as to how it should be solved. Reinstalling is almost certainly not the solution.

How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion?

How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion? It's not in the App Store, it is nowhere on the Apple website . . . OK, so I guess it is supposed to be part of Mountain Lion, but I am running Mountain Lion and whatever version of Safari I ended up with would not even run at all . . . so I trashed it (or at least what part of it I was allowed to trash) and though reinstalling it would be a good idea . . . but I can't find one to reinstall. The latest version I can find is for Leopard, and of course that won't run.
Not to mention that since getting Mt Lion, iPhoto won't run . . . it produces an error message saying I need to check with the developer to make sure it runs with this version of OS X! So I wonder who the developer of iPhoto is, who produces software that is incompatible with Mt Lion???
And even in submitting this there is no option to tag it for any OS later than 10.7.4!!

Since Safari is crashing, post a crash report... reinstalling the OS X rarely helps a browser crash issue.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
Please include the "binary images" section...

Degrade to an older Safari version (Mountain Lion OS to Lion OS)

Hi everyone,
I've just installed by mistake the latest version of Safari for Mountain Lion on my Mac Lion OS X and my Mac won't let me degrade...silly me . Is there any way around this? I have tried to use Time Machine to no avail as it's never been set up before.
Thanks a lot!

Oops, I meant downgrade not degrade I have tried to reinstall other versions over and over again but it seems it just wants me to get Mountain Lion all the time, what a mess

How can I securely erase my hard drive and reinstall OS X Mountain Lion?

Hi, I am selling my MacBook and I was wondering if there's a way I can securely erase my hard drive, (... 7 pass, 35 pass) using these steps: http://www.mactip.net/how-to-securely-wipe-your-mac-hard-drive-before-selling-it /
and also reinstall OS X Mountain Lion afterwards.
Thanks in advance. 

Boot into recovery mode by holding the command and r keys down during boot. Bring up Disk Utility and do the security erase you want to do. When done, choose to download Mountain Lion.

OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0 to reinstall OS X Mountain lion

I have used the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0 to reinstall OS X Mountain lion on my Imac and i have used an external hard drive, but while rebooting, i didn't click on the recovery HD and now the external hard drive isn't visible. Can anyone help?

You are welcome. If you get all/some of your data back, I suggest you start backing up the external drive. If you can't do that using Time Machine, you can try one of the cloning programs below:
Clone - Carbon Copy Cloner
Clone – Data Backup
Clone – Deja Vu
Clone - SuperDuper

I had erase my hardrive and need to reinstall OS X, do I need to reinstall Snow Leopard/mountain lion first before Maverick will take

I had to erase my HD, I have Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion was added for an upgrade after that, now when I try to download the OS X, my HD looks like it going to take it, then it goes no where. And now what is showing up is OS X Maverick for a download, which I didn't even know it existed until I had to down load. I am wondering will I have redownload Snow Leopard or Mountain lion before the OS X Maverick will download.
thank you

Well, you can do an erase and install via the Recovery HD:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
      logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Trying to reinstall OS X Lion but the only option is to reinstall OS X mountain lion is there a way around this?

I recently formatted my hard drive so that I could give my computer to my brother but when I was trying to reinstall OS X Lion (10.7) the only option that showed up was to reinstall OS X mountain lion which I do not have, so now I can't get past the menu that comes up when you hold command + C. How do I reinstall to OS X Lion when it isn't even an option that shows up

Ok, well, having had Snow leopard on it originally solves the question: the license for Lion (or Mountain Lion for that matter) is not transferable. You are required to erase the drive and reinstall the original OS (Snow Leopard). Giving or selling it with Lion (or ML) on it will not be helpful for the recipient because the machine ID and their Apple ID will no longer match so they will not be able to get updates.
Have you checked your Purchases section at the app store? Here is what shows on mine:
If you are using the recovery mode and Mountain Lion comes up, then I can only assume that this is what you purchased. I don't know why it would show up otherwise.
As far as selling your Mac, the above is irrelevant since you will need to reinstall Snow Leopard and the recipient will need to purchase Lion (or Mountain Lion) using their own Apple ID.
However, you need to check on this since you may want to download Lion again for another machine of yours. So, if you are sure you purchased Lion and nothing shows under your Purchases at MAS, I would either call Apple or make an appointment with your nearest Genius Bar to get it sorted.

I'm having problems with reinstalling OS X Mountain Lion

I tried to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion :-
I click on continue and I get following message "to download and restore OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple" with two buttons Cancle and continue.
Once I've Clicked on Continue Ig et another message "Could Not find installation information for this machine contact apple" with OK button.
I need My Mac for work tomorrow please please Help me Urgent.

I think that's likely the problem, then. The machine probably originally came with an earlier version of OS X and was updated to Mountain Lion using another persons Apple ID.
You don't say which model you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011") but I'm betting that it came with installation discs with an earlier version of OS X. Do you have the discs? If not, the only way to get them is to order a set, using your serial number, from Apple. Cost is around $20 + shipping and taxes.
Look for your serial number on the back of the machine - it will usually be very faint. When you get it, go to -> http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html - and enter your serial number. It will pull up a page with your model and the original version of OS X that shipped with that model. You'll know then if you need to order discs (and it certainly sounds as if you're going to need those discs).
Good luck,
Clinton

Can i reinstall OS X Mountain Lion from scratch from a Time Machine Backup

Can i reinstall OS X Mountain Lion from scratch from a Time Machine Backup
Asking because i'm a new mac user having used windows since 3.11, wanting to know if the Time Machine bacup was enough or will i need to make a seperate OS install disk or usb drive ???
thanx in advance guys

Lizardcarter's instructions are correct, you can (and possibly should) consider a second external HD to create a bootable clone. Redundancy in backups is a very good thing because backup can fail too. A bootable clone is an external HD that has a mirror of your internal HD so if the internal HD does crash you can boot from the clone, something that cannot be done from TM. This means you will be down for minutes and can resume work until you have had the internal HD replaced. Never use an external HD for both TM and a bootable clone, each should have it's own EHD. The reason being is if the EHD crashes you have lost ALL of your backup and are dead, don't laugh it happens! To create a bootable clone get either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (both about $30) and you're pretty set. Many people on these forums (including myself) use that strategy and yes I have had a backup fail.

Have you received an e-mail from Apple with a Redemption Code? You will need that code to complete the purchase. It is supposed to take up to 3 days, but some people have had to wait a bit longer.
The redeem button is up in the top right hand corner in the Quick Links section.

How can I reinstall Safari for Lion after I mistakenly installed Safari for Mountain Lion?

Hi,
via Macupdate I saw the new version 6.02 and did not thought about it. So I installed it only to view that this version would run only on a Mountain Lion system.
My 2007-MacBook is not capable to run 10.8.
So I tried to replace the new version with a Safari (6.0.1) from a TimeMachine Backup. I also tried to apply again the Mac OS X Combo Updater (10.7.5), but the installer says that it is not possibel to install it (again).
The thing is that Safrai still keeps crashing. Now I don't know what to do.
Any help is appreciated

5.1.8 is only currently available as part of the recent
Security Update 2013-001 (Snow Leopard)
download the latest Flash from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
and before installing, check HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and the same folder (if it exists) in your Home/Library/ for anything named Flash... moving them to the trash.
you may also have a Flash Player icon in System Preferences - the Advanced tab has an Updates section, with a 'check now' button, which should show what you have & if it needs updating.
edit - as Baltwo said... which wasn't showing previously

Unusable safari after Mountain Lion 10.8.2 upgrade

Hi,
After the last Mountain Lion update (10.8.2) using Safari is not like before to me. Every single time i wake up my Macbook Pro and run safari, pages I try to open just cant open normally, loading tooks for 2-5 min then page opens, after 5 min it works normally then again after few minutes same problem happens, without closing safari. But every time I turn on my macbook or open safari problem is there. My internet is working normally since I can use it on my sisters laptop, or when I restart my macbook to Window 7 Bootcamp. Only when I use in Mac OS X, internet/safari is not working well. Tried other browsers (Chrome/Mozilla Firefox) and they seem to work better then safari, open pages faster than safari, but still not normally like before. Again, using internet in bootcamp works perfectly. Any solutions?

Is there a way I can contact someone from Apple because I really cant use internet normally -.-...I am now downloading Mountain Lion again and ill try to reinstall it, if that doesnt works I just dont know what to do...i have tried everything...some link I can open, some links a cant open, after few minutes its normal and again after few minutes it doesnt work, its just annoying:/...i am really disappointed....just to mention, few weeks ago I had a problem with youtube, many videos I have tried to watch were working for me just for 30-40 sec and they just stop, also tried everything, even clean install of OS X, and havent fix the problem until installed adblock extension, there was problem with the ads on videos. But why is that just on mac, why not on bootcamp windows too? everything has worked great until upgrade to mountain lion-.-

How can I reinstall JAVA on Mountain Lion?

The last Java Update screwed up Java on Mountain Lion. Thanks a lot, Apple. This is where blinking/flashing images etc etc start, and it also affects the three-finger word-look-up gesture. I compared my mac running Facebook in Safari with one in an AppleStore and the one in the shop renders the Java stuff flawlessly -- no blinking or flashing graphics, and the three-finger tap gesture works perfectly. Both macs were running the same version of Java, OS X and Safari.
If I turn off Javascript and Java (in Safari) I don't get the flashing images and three-finger-tap works.
So my question is (after reading similar threads of the same topic): IS there any one-click solution to this -- can I reinstall Java, or do I have to re-install Mountain Lion... JUST to get Java working again??!?
And per the above.. why ISN'T there a standalone Java re-installer for OS X? How difficult could it be??

I just found the solution, thanks to the "MORE LIKE THIS" links:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
That's where you can download the standalone installer!! I did it, ran it, and it works. Solved all the problems I've been having.
Thing is.... why is it hidden???

What happened to address bar in safari under Mountain lion

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday. Now, in safari, I no longer have an address bar. In customize toolbar, I see there is only the option to add/have 'search google or enter an address'. So have they combined this field? If so, in the old address bar field, there was a star to click on to add the page to our bookmarks, which opened the list and let us choose a folder. I no longer have that option.
Any help?
michelle

It is now a unified address and search bar. there is a + button in the Customize Toolbar in the View menu item. This will allow you to choose what folder to add your page.
