Safari 5 doesn't work on Mac OS X 10.5.8?

so i downloaded safari 4 yesterday via software update and I was kinda excited for it. it was fine yesterday and this morning while using it I discovered that it is in fact very bad. Whenever I open a new page, it hangs a lot. it always gives me that "failed to open" tab, for simple websites like yahoo and wikipedia! after doing some research I'm starting to get the notion that safari 5 is made for snow leopard and such. I have leopard. is this true? and if it is does anyone know a safe, easy way to downgrade back to the most recent safari 4 browser? I can't stand safari 5.
thanks

sorry i meant i downloaded safari 5 not 4...

Both Chrome and Safari interrupt online streaming to request/demand an update for a PC program that doesn't work on Macs. What is going on?

Both Chrome and Safari interrupt online streaming to request/demand an update for a PC program that doesn't work on Macs. What is going on?

The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're almost certainly the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

Wipe the drive clean and install Snow Leopard from your install disk.

Safari doesn't work after new Installation of Lion

Hello,
I installed a new SSD into my MBP mid 2009 and put the HDD into the optibay instead of the Superdrive, after that I installed OSX Lion onto the SSD and used the Migration Assisstent to migrate my old User Folder from the HDD with the newly installed OSX Lion. After the migration, everything went well, except of the following:
-Safari doesn't work, no website can be loaded, as soon as I run Safari, there is a process running named "Webprocess" which uses 95% of the CPU and makes the MBP heating.
-VLC Media Player does not work as well
Any idea anyone?
thx
Mohammad

Another problem is:
When I start the Dropbox Application, it uses nearly 90% of the CPU as well, so the mac heats up, in a way that it is not possible to use the dropbox application...
(The Icon of the VLC Media Player only jumps up and down in the dock, and nothing else happens)

HI ..
The only way to reinstall OS X on a Mac already running v10.9 is to use OS X Recovery.
Starrtup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and reinstall OS X.
Please read > OS X Recovery

Internet connection okay, but safari doesn't work !

Dear All,

Appriciate your support

hi there Michael
sorry for the delay was on leave
when i say download the software from the Apple's website i mean download the software update for mac os x 10.3.9
as once you reinstall panther again it will revise back to the original version of the OS which came along with the computer when you purchased which will cause safari to be incompatible with
so once you do a software update for you operating system it will get it compatible with safari
so to get the update you can download it from the computer you have it burn the update on a CD or DVD and then install it on this computer
you can get the download from
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
just click on the link above to get to the page then click on the number 117mb on the upper right hand corner
once you have downloaded it burn it to a disc and install it on your computer

I don't know about Growl as I've never used it. But I'd remove anything that might involve your internet connection. To remove Growl: http://growl.info/documentation/growl-package-removal.php
In my earlier post I asked do you have any Anti Virus software installed?
Do you have access to another computer so you could download another browser, perhaps onto a USB stick and then install it on your Mac just to see if the problem is Safari specific:
Google Chrome: https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chrome/browser/
Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

My safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet.

my safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet. Some of the videos I can't see with the Safari browser, but I can see it with other brower. But my friend can see these videos with her safari. And I can not connect with the app store sometimes.

Before you try to configure the settings on your Router, first thing which you need to do is, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect your computer to the Linksys router on the LAN Port 1. On your Computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok... Now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and note down the "IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway" , Now again in the Command Prompt window type "ping default gateway IP" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then you can login to the setup page of the configure all the settings on it from scratch.

My safari doesn't work anymore!, My safari doesn't work anymore!

My safari doesn't work anymore!

Hello ! I have the same problem ... more or less. The Safari we have on one of the MacBooks' here doesn't work any longer. That happened after I both downloaded and installed the updated for Safari two weeks ago or so- and (simultaneously) ran an application called "MacKeeper". Maybe that was the "bug"? ... because after that Safari collapsed, but nothing else. I tried to reset all on Safari, copied even manually all preferences of Safari from another MacBook that worked onto mine, but no chance. Safari is blank when I try to open it, nothing happens, except from making the rest of my MacBook also work slow. Now I have to use Firefox, that works, but I don't want to use this browser, I would like to have Safari back.
My question is the same: Is there at all a chance to fix this problem? Any advice from you guys out there is highly appreciated!

Burned in Nero Express through Windows, doesn't work on Mac

So I just burned a Data DVD (files like music and mac applications) on Windows, using Nero Express, but then I mount it on my Powermac G5 PPC and it doesn't work, my mac doesn't recognize it, what's the problem ?
Thanks.

Did you close the disc, or leave it open for further burning sessions?

iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.

Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later

[BUG]: MakeWritable doesn't work for mac

I'm trying to use oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.MakeWritableHelper in my plugin, and I found it doesn't work for MAC. The byte code shows it only check the osname for "Windows" and "Linux".
and some Jdeveloper refactoring feature failed due to can't make file writable, they may also related to this class.

My MAC version is OSX 10.5.4.
I don't have a stacktrace. It just fails silently.
You can easily reproduce this bug by reformat a readonly file.
Here is the code I reverse engineered from oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.Util.java:
public static boolean setReadOnly(java.net.URL url, boolean readOnly)
boolean ret = false;
java.lang.String cmdarray[] = null;
java.lang.String platformPathName = oracle.ide.net.URLFileSystem.getPlatformPathName(url);
java.lang.String osName = java.lang.System.getProperty("os.name", "");
if(osName.startsWith("Windows"))
cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
"ATTRIB", readOnly ? "+R" : "-R", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
else
if(platformPathName.equalsIgnoreCase("Linux"))
cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
"chmod", readOnly ? "u-w" : "u+w", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
if(cmdarray != null)
java.lang.Runtime runtime = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
try
java.lang.Process process = runtime.exec(cmdarray);
if(process.waitFor() == 0)
ret = (new File(platformPathName)).canWrite();
if(ret)
oracle.ide.model.Node node = oracle.ide.model.NodeFactory.find(url);
if(node instanceof oracle.ide.model.TextNode)
oracle.ide.model.TextNode textNode = (oracle.ide.model.TextNode)node;
textNode.isReadOnly();
catch(java.io.IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
catch(java.lang.InterruptedException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return ret;
}

Safari doesn't work anymore on my iPad- it hangs completely. Anyone knows how to recover?

Safari doesn't work anymore on my iPad- it hangs completely. Anyone knows how to recover?

Repeated to another user:
I have had the same issue since the release of iOS7. I even went as far as a factory reset of my iPad 2 and did not restore from any backup. Safari still will not load any pages. It hangs then stops.
I have tried the steps above so please don't repeat them. I refuse to believe I am the only person on the planet that cannot get a resolution for this?
Please, somebody, help me fix this. It's extremely annoying that the default browser cannot be change yet will not work.
