Hi, m0rgAn,
A pleasure to help, I am glad you were able to reinstall your copy of Safari, please get info on your Safari, from the Applications folder, which version is it?
Ordinarily you would need to reapply the combined os update any Security update via your Software update, to bring Safari to the currant version, which is 2.0.4 if Safari is version 2.0.4 then you are all set, with that.
However, in your first post you say....
safari 2.0 quits unexpectedly everytime its launched so i removed it from my Mac using,u> AppDelete and then i tried to download it again i didnt find safari 2.0.
You do need Safari 2.0.4 in order to have updated to Safari 3.0.2 Beta,
Updating any apple software when the application is not working properly is not a good idea, you must troubleshoot first, that said..
The way to remove Safari 2.0.4 would of been to trash the Safari.app from your Applications folder (not so with S3 Beta it MUST be Uninstalled) the associated files are not meant to be trashed, I don't know
how far the AppDelete program, takes it ...
Unfortunately you may have deleted all of associated files with the Safari version you used the AppDelete on, which I trust is not intended for use on Apple applications which have integral parts of the os entwined within them, I hope I am wrong...
I hate to say you may of deleted some very important system files, but I am not sure, does your Software update work? Mail, iChat or itunes? Please try them & let us know.
Quoted from the AppDelete site,
"Purpose:
The goal of AppDelete is to delete the items (files and folders) that are associated with the application (widget, preference pane, or plugin) you want to delete. This is so you don't have to delete them manually, or let them remain on your computer once your app (or supported item mentioned above) is deleted. While it is difficult to be perfect in getting every item, AppDelete should remove all of the associated items."
Contact the AppDelete developer for any more info they may have in regards to using the software on Safari..
Please keep us posted, ok?
