Removed Safari and now can't install it.

For some odd reason, Safari stopped autofilling email addresses in Yahoo mail. I'm not sure if it was something I did, but it definately happened. The first thing I did was to "reset" Safari. That didn't help. So, I decided to download Firefox to see if autofill worked in Firefox. It did. So, I had the bright idea that I must have inadvertently done something to Safari to make it stop autofilling. In continuation of this bright idea, I decided to remove Safari and reinstall it to see if that fixed the problem. It didn't. So, then I thought, "well, perhaps there were some files or other things hidden deep in the emac that I needed to remove in order to completely get rid of Safari". So, I went into spotlight and got rid of every last thing that had the word Safari in it.
I went to apple.com and downloaded Safari 2.0.1. When I tried to install it, I got to the part where you choose where you want to install it and I got the message "You cannot install Safari onto this drive, it requires MacOS 10.4.2. I find this odd, since I have 10.4.6.
I DO NOT have my emac reboot/startup disk. I have somehow lost it.
Does anyone have any recommendations for me?
Thanks, Rich

smithsfan,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It sounds as if you trashed some of the Library and even framework files, not just the user preferences. Do you have a separate Restore DVD or an Applications disk? If so, you can use that to reinstall Safari including it's library files, then use the 2.0.1 installer.
General Safari troubleshooting is in Safari quits unexpectedly
You can call Apple and ask about ordering a replacement OS disk; with proof of registration (i.e., the serial number inside the optical drawer cover) you can order a replacement for considerablly less than buying a new Tiger Install disk. That would let you use Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4 to reinstall Safari.
(Worst case, you can always use Firefox as your normal browser --- I do, since I prefer it's sidebar for viewing bookmarks, plus it's a consistient interface when using Firefox on that other computer OS.)

Had to remove firefox and now can't download to re-install

Due to 'someone' downloading something and getting malware, which should now be gone, but to clear completely removed firefox. Now using IE (yuk) tried to download FF. The firefox setup screen comes up and the rolling progress bar is going across the page but for 20 mins nothing more.

hi again, please perform all these steps if you suspect that you have malicious software present:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

ITunes (upgrade) 10.1.0.64(x64) fails and now can't install iTunes

Hi...need a bit of help here please.
I've been running iTunes fine now for years and due to the 'always seems to work' I even bought an iPhone and iPad, however I'm now stuck.
Last Thursday, the iTunes updater service told me a new version was available, without even thinking about it (as it always seems to work) I said yes...oh dear.
At the end of the installation it wanted to reboot, so I said yes, however after the reboot the iTunes icon wouldn't startup iTunes and complained about a lack permissions. I checked the folder structure and it was true, my account didn't have permissions...in fact no account did other than something called msiserver. So I took over the permission but still nothing.
I then set about uninstalling iTunes (control panel etc) and downloaded the iTunes64 package from Apple. This time it complained about the "Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be found".
So...pop over to the iTunes forum and seems like I'm not alone. Advice was to uninstall and download 'Revo Uninstaller' and make sure everything is removed. I did this and rebooted. Tried the installation again and received the same message about the Installer Package.
Another '****-up' is that when the installation fails, it doesn't remove everything as it's trying to back out. The Mobile Device, Bonjour and Apple Updater remain.
Any ideas?
Scott

I finally got it to work! Whew! Sorry. lol Ok, I went to the support page for iTunes (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/) and went to the Installing and Removing iTunes bar and clicked on the Uninstalling iTunes sub category. Then, I clicked on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. You can choose which article to use depending on your operating system. I followed all the steps then downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and it worked. All of my stuff is back.

Accidently deleted Safari and now can't reinstall

My brother was messing with my macbookpro while i was outside and he some how deleted my Safari. Now when i try to reinstall it it says it can't because there is an updated version already. Anyway to fix this?
My mac is a version 10.7.4.
Please help I don't like using any other web browser :/

Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone!
I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes.

BlackBerry Link does not recognize my Q10 And now can't install Link anymore

Hello, i had Link installed since few months working correctly. Suddenly, when connecting my Q10 with USB cable a pop up appears on my phone saying it is connected, however, my terminal shows as deconnected on Link. Usually, when i was connecting with USB, a pop screen appears asking for password but it is not thé case anymore. It does recognize That is connecting since it does open bblink but not when it is openned. There is no Way to get thé password screen to connect my q10. I hâve tried to desinstall And reinstall BlackBerry Link And now i CAn't even load thé software anymore. An error And it does uninstall everything again. Did tried via BlackBerry website And also with thé USB connecting my q10 directly. Thaïs Way is even worst since it does not even load.

Besides the ethical and professional issues involved, the iPad appears to be linked to a different iTunes account than your personal one. Applications are tied to the account, not the device - so if you were able to use your personal account to install the apps in question, you'd be wiping out all the ones your employer put on.
If you feel these apps are necessary for your work, then talk to your supervisor/tech department about them purchasing additional copies for use on the iPad.

HT3986 i made a dual boot of windows 7 and mac os x lion in my macbook pro .i installed microsoft support software also. now, can i install windows updates? do i turn on the automatic updating of updates?

i made a dual boot of windows 7 and mac os x lion in my macbook pro .i installed m icrosoft support software also. now, can i install windows updates? do i turn on the automatic updating of updates?

yes you need the updates and patches.
Only some of the drivers that Windows will automatically install at times
and always make sure to insure it is using restore points
do all the maintenance andsuch as normal
use MS Security Essentials for AV is really top notch
Clean disk space
Use WinClone new program to inisure you have a restore image

Windows has a software updater built into Windows and when you install the Boot Camp drivers then it will install an Apple software updater also. I believe Windows is set to automatically download and install your updates as does the Apple software Updater. They both will update the individual files it needs to periodically.
"Microsoft updates" and "Windows updates" are basically the same thing in Windows. Are you talking about the "Windows support software" when downloading from Boot Camp Assistant? Apple installs a software updater for it's Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7 so you can do it manually or automatically.
The "Hot Fix" your referring to is only for certain motherboards built from other Windows only computer manufacturers and does NOT pertain to any Apple computers.
If you have a problem with your computer then it's best to ask a specific question so we can help better.

I've just installed Maverick and now can't open iPhoto. I have 9.2.1 currently installed. Am terrified I'm going to lose photos as they weren't all backed up. What do I do? Please help...

Pogs78,
first things first — buy an external drive to use as a Time Machine backup destination and make a back up. That way, you won’t lose anything which is currently on your MacBook Pro.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes. iTunes does not "see" the devise. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Be sure to start your iMac using its original grey System Install DVD: Insert that disc and start your Mac while holding the d key. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen select Disk Utility and format the hard disk. Select "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)".
Then, install OS X.
