Safari 3.1 installed on 10.3.9, caused problems and proposed solution

Dear all,
I accidentally installed Safari 3.1 on my G4 10.3.9. Somehow I was confused and thought that it would run on my OS.
Wrong.
*Problems caused:*
Various programme's did not run, like, of course, Safari, Mail, Skype, Software Update. Other people have similar problems with different programme's.
Solution:
1) Download Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
2) Download the Safari.pkg 1.2 and 1.3.1 versions
3) Run Pacifist: first install 1.2 followed by 'repair disk permissions' in disk utility
4) restart
5) run Pacifist, install via Pacifist safari.pkg 1.3.1.
*Now the follwing is IMPORTANT*
6) After installing Safari.pkg 1.2 I got the message that 1.3.1 was already installed which was NOT the case since I checked [APPLE-key]-'I' Safari and it said 1.2. I guess, but I am not a specialist, that this has caused the problem. Old files cause 'erratic' behavior.
Pacifist asks if you want to replace the Safari 1.3.1 files which are already in place. At this point you should enter 'YES'. It will install the correct 1.3.1 files.
7) after this, restart the computer, repeat the 'repair disk permissions' procedure in disk utility.
In my case it worked and all other programme's work again.
Caution: I lost my bookmarks but this has happened because I deleted the safari library files as suggested in different threads. I did not keep them in a safe place... Mail is working again, no lost data!
I hope it will work for you.
All the best,
Thom

Hi Thom
I shall try this but should I remove safari 3.1 first? I don't mind losing bookmarks - it's mail I want back most. I spoke to Apple support today and they suggested removing safari 3.1 and reinstalling the old safari which is what I guess this is but via Pacifist? Other than that they said it was archive and reinstall which I don't particularly want to try. The tech guy said he would post this as an issue to Apple.
regards
Christine

HT4085 I has a problem and I am not able to solve that when I use sound effect it is showed only headphone even I did not installing the headphone I has a problem and I am not able to solve that I am. Not able to hear the sound without headphone please he

I has a problem and I am not able to solve that when I use sound effect it is showed only headphone even I did not installing the headphone I has a problem and I am not able to solve that I am. Not able to hear the sound without headphone please help guys

Sounds to me like a hardware issue or maybe something is stuck in the headphone jack. When you plug in headphones, the jack in the iPad is switched to play only through the headphones and not the iPad's speakers. Sounds like either the jack is faulty or there is something stuck in the headphone jack. Get a flashlight & look inside the jack for anything that looks like it doesn't belong in there.
Regardless, I'd take it in to an Apple Store if you have one nearby to have it checked.
EDIT: "Ocean20" had an excellent suggestion above. While doing that, you may also want to rotate/twist the plug in the jack back & forth a few times as well. Dirty contacts can often times be cleared by doing this.

Can't install iTunes, "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"

I just got a new Dell. My old iTunes 5.0 wouldn't install, so I downloaded the new 7.0, and am having an issue. I have tried all of the support recommendations on this site, including deleting everything and reinstalling, changing the audo and speaker settings, QTime settings, etc (although when I try to uninstall Quicktime it won't let me). I even did the MSCONFIG and tried to do a selective start up with just iTunes. I initally was getting the Ipod Service error that people have posted about, but once I deleted my old Ipod Updater, that stopped, but now this is what happens: The install appears to go through just fine, and says it has completed. But when I try to click the icon, it says "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". Any ideas? This is very frustrating. My daughter just got an Ipod for Christmas and is terribly upset she can't use it.
Thanks
April

I finally got it to work. Uninstall quicktime and itunes. Go to quicktime and just install quicktime and then go to itunes and install itunes. This solved my problem. Yeh. After 3 days I finally got it. Good luck!

Getting "no longer supported" message when opening gmail though Safari on Windows based laptop. Are others having problem? Any solutions?

I have been using Safari to access a gmail account for about a year. Today, I got a message that Safari is no longer supported by gmail and I need to upgrade. But I'm using the latest version of Safari. as far as I can tell. Anyone else getting this message? Is there a solution?
Also having issues with yahoo mail, as of today, when using Safari, but I'll post that on a separate forum question. I am mentioning it here because I wonder if the 2 are related. Gmail message appeared for first time today but I was getting this message from Yahoo earlier this year. I tried the work around found on this and Yahoo forum but could only get "basis" to work on Yahoo. .Today, even basic yahoo is not acting the same, reformating and showing commands in the text when I try to reply to an email. Annoying.

Google seem to have decided in the last week or so that Safari 5.x, which is the newest Safari version available for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is "not supported" any more, even though there are many reasons for staying with these OS X versions.
Try this (at your own risk, but it works for me), as it seems to remove the message by tricking Gmail into thinking your Safari version is newer:
-- Quit Safari
-- Locate the following file (location depends on your OS X version):
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/WebKit2.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.pl ist
OS X 10.5 Leopard and older:
/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist
-- Drag the file to your Mac's desktop to make a copy. Also make a safe copy somewhere else eg your Documents folder, as if you lose or mess up the file Safari will not launch at all. Having a backup browser is also recommended.
-- Double-click it to open it in TextEdit
-- Locate the CFBundleVersion value (the last line in the file that has numbers in it) and increment the second digit of it to the required version of Safari e.g. Safari 6 now seems to be the minimum version that Google support so change the second number from 5 to 6 (don't change anything else, only the change the second number). The value is different depending on your OS X version but as an example, for Snow Leopard 6534.59.10 becomes 6634.59.10
-- Drag the file back from the desktop to its original location, choose the option to replace the old version, and enter your password when prompted.
-- Run a permissions repair in Disk Utility to set the permissions in the file back to what they should be (not required, but good practice).
-- Launch Safari and test Gmail.

Your current updates are causing problems and will not install correctly how do we stop it

the security update you currently have causes problems with other software and does not install at all. Current corrections the entire pc has to be set back to a restore date to remove it

Hi;
I apologize about your not being able to reply to my response in the Payments sub-forum, thanks for re-posting here.
I forwarded your issue to a Support team that will take care of it. If you could send me a good contact phone # via email to [email protected] I will give that to the Support team so they have a few ways to contact you. Please also include the AdobeID for both accounts so they know what all to look at.
Thanks,
Josh

After installing iOS5 the syncing from iPhone to PC does not update PC. PC to iPhone is okay. Anyone having same problem and/or solution?

After installing iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I am having a problem syncing Calendar, Contacts etc. If I say add something in Calendar on my iPhone it will not sync to my PC, even though is says it is. However if I add something to my Calendar on my PC (using Outlook) it will sync to my iPhone. Anyone having the same issues and/or solution?

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

Safari can't connect to the server - still causing problems

Hi
I have read through several topics relating to this problem - but have yet to be able to resolve the issue. So apologies in advance if it has already been answered in one of the many threads.
I have 2 computers both working off the same broadband hub connection.
Both have the same version of the OS and the same version of Safari: OS 10.4.11 and Safari 4.0.4
I have checked that the network settings are the same and all parental control settings are the same.
The laptop will access sites that the desktop will not.
Can anyone shed some light as to why numerous sites I try to access on the iMac result in a Safari message "Safari can’t connect to the server".
Same applies when I attempt the same sites with Firefox.
I have emptied caches, resolved all font issues, addressed terminal and plists etc. etc. - all to no avail.
Help!!!

Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.

Installing Control Panel 2/3 causes problems in opening Excel sheets

After installing the control panel 3.0, I can't open Excel sheets properly anymore. A message says that the Excel sheet contains corrupted data and Excel can try to restore them. After confirming this, the excel sheet shows opened but all formating is gone.
I had this issue yet with Control Panel 2.0. After some research on the web I found out that the problem is caused by the CP for Windows. I then switched back to CP V 1.1.4 and the excel sheets opened properly again.
Thanks for any advise. I'm using Windows 7 and Excel/Outlook 2007.

You are downloading software illegally. ShapeShifter is shareware so unless you indicate that you paid for it I don't feel it is appropriate to post your issue in this forum setting.

V570 - Clean Install Problems and Some Solutions

And where is this new bios?
I ran into the same problem all these guys mentioned with Windows 7 Ultimate installing on the EFI partition. The wireless adapter simply does not start.
I only see the bios version 36 uploaded on August 17 which does not solve this issue for the Lenovo V570.

I have managed to install Win 7 64bit on the laptop.
Here is what I did, for whoever is interested:
Burnt an Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD and booted from it; be patient, it takes a long time to read the files from the CD. (Ubuntu 11.04 displayed a black screen after booting)
Using GParted, I've created a NTFS Primary partition from all of the other existing partitions except the hidden LENOVO_PART, so I now have 2 partitions.
After this, I've followed the instructions posted by Obrut here: instructions (the post called Shutdown/Reboot hang problem solved!)
I haven't tried to use the OneKey Recovery key, although I kept the hidden partition. I don't have too high hopes that the OKR will continue to work, since I've changed the other partitions. Maybe Lenovo will come with a solution to this issue.
Anyway, Win7 is installed. In the following days, I will try to dual boot with Ubuntu.
Further questions:
Do you recommend updating BIOS to the new version or take the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." approach?
When installing Ubuntu, what GRUB version should I install? (efi, legacy..)
Are there any (new) configurations that I should make or drivers I should download? I mention that I've installed the drivers on the DVD and updated via Win Update.
Thank you very much for your help JameZ and also thank you for the instructions, Obrut.

Can't install silverlight - anyone else had this problem and knows how to fix it?

Trying to install Silverlight 5.0 on Firefox 11.0 (Mac OSX Lion). No matter how many times I try to install it (having uninstalled using MacKeeper), I still get the same message telling me I need to install it.
Has anyone else had this issue and knows how to solve it please?
thanks
GLC

I've had the same problem. I'm sure it was caused by a MacKeeper cleaning operation. Here's how I solved it:
Download and install EasyFind from DevonTechnologies.com:
http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/freeware.html
You can also install it from the App Store.
Launch the app and make sure to enable the following settings on the left-hand side of EasyFind:
Search for: Files & Folders
Operator: Phrase
Comparison: Ignore Case
Include: Package Contents
Include: Invisible Files & Folders
Then chose your Mac hard disk that contains your system on the upper right-hand side of EasyFind (directly below the search field.)
Enter "silverlight" in the search field and hit Enter. The files and folders will start to populate the window below the search field. When the search is complete, select all of the found items and click the Delete button in the toolbar.
NOTE: REMOVAL OF PROTECTED FILES: Some items cannot be deleted because they require your administrator password. Those items will remain in the list. Right/Ctrl click each of those files and chose Reveal in Finder from the submenu. A new Finder window will open displaying the file. Right/Ctrl click on the file and chose Move to Trash. You will then be asked for your admin password. After you provide it, the item will be moved to the trash.
To be on the safe side, I restarted my Mac, downloaded a fresh copy of Silverlight, quit Firefox, and performed the install. When I relaunched Firefox and navigated to Netflix, Silverlight played the movie properly.
(See attached JPG for more info.)
I hope this helps,
Matt

Just installed 10.6.3 on MacBook Pro and external disks cannot be seen by OS. Help

i installed 10.6.3 on my 17" MacBook Pro (updating from 10.5.8). All my external disk drives which had all been visible to the system and accessible before the update no longer were visible to the OS. Not in the sidebar and not in the disk utility. After checking all connections etc. many reboots, resetting the pram i still am unable to see or access these disks.
From there i updated to 10.6.8 but exactly the same results. i'm not sure where to go from here. i have 4 externals on 2 different usb routers and 1 external on a firewire router.
I'm considering removing the routers and trying each drive separately and directly connected to the laptop.
And of course, i'm short of time.
Anyone with similar problems and/or solutions?

You mean USB HUBs, correct? Not routers.
Yes remove the HUBs and try the drives connected directly to the computer.

Can't install safari extensions, I get the error message "Safari can't install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension "Pin It Button"." Any suggestions?

Every time I try and install an extension for Safari I get the error message "Safari can’t install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension “Pin It Button”." I have all the latest updates, working on OS X Yosemite v 10.10.2 / Safari v 8.0.3. Any suggestions?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for an item named "Safari Extensions List". If found, delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
