Safari 5 won't open on Snow Leopard; cannot upgrade to Safari 6 since it requires Lion.

I can use Firefox and Chrome with no problem but like the Apple format better.  This is the first time I have ever had issues with products that are partners with Apple.  Please someone fix it.  "Oh well" is not acceptable:-)

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the InputManagers folder.
Move these files to the Trash: CTLoader/ctloader.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ctloader
Now from the same LIbrary folder open the Application Support folder and move these files to the Trash:
Conduit/Plugins/cttoolbar.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ct_plugins
and back in that Library folder again open the Scripting Additions folder. Move these files to the Trash:
ctscripting.osax/Contents/MacOS/ctscripting
Relaunch Safari.

  • Safari and Mail won't open in Snow Leopard

    Any else having this VERY frustrating problem of Safari and Mail not opening. I've installed Snow Leopard and downloaded and installed the 10.6.1 update. Then when I try to open Safari, it says, "You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3." When I try to open Mail, it says the same thing. I downloaded Safari again, and it won't even install it saying, "Safari can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer." But I have 10.6.1.
    Help. Anyone? Please?
    Thanks

    HI,
    Try launching Safari and Mail from the Applications folder. If it works, drag the Safari and Mail icons off the Dock. Just drag straight up. They'll go poof.
    With Safari or Mail open, select the icon in the Dock/Keep in Dock.
    If that doesn't help, locate these files.
    com.apple.Mail.plist
    com.appple.Safari/plist
    Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • CS2 won't open on Snow Leopard - any secrets you care to share?

    I just got an imac with snow leopard pre-installed...and I installed PS CS2 and low and behold - the application stalls when opening Photoshop. while installing, imac informed me that rosetta had to be installed so I agreed. Photoshop doesn't open but Image Ready opens fine (a program I don't use).
    What to do? Is there something else I can try to do other than upgrading to CS5?
    I've read in some of these discussions that some people have CS2 running fine and if yours does - what is the secret?
    many thanks!

    This problem occasionally happens for upgrade installs. I believe what's happening for you is that your Mail dock icon points to the wrong place. This can happen if you have another copy of Mac OS X installed on another volume, or if you ever moved Mail from its /Applications folder.
    If that's indeed the problem, the fix is: remove Mail from your Dock, open a Finder window and go to the /Applications folder, launch Mail from Finder, and choose the "Keep in Dock" menu item for the Mail dock icon.

  • Address Book won't open in Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.1
    When I try opening my address book I get the message: "You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. You have Address Book 4.1.1."
    How can this be?
    This is not quite an emergency since I still have access to my address book through Mobile Me, or my Entourage address book, but still.
    Anybody understand this issue?
    Thanks

    Hey guys I had the exact same problem as you did and didn't find the fix until opening the Guest Account wiped my entire profile. (seen in the Login forum)
    From what I can tell, you need to make a new user account for the Contacts application to work, as it replaces it with a new version (5.0), if you don't want to copy over all your files to a new account you could try copying over Contacts 5.0 to your other users Documents folder, then copying it from there to the Applications folder on your old user.
    Hope I've helped

  • FCP 6.0.6 Won't Open with Snow Leopard!

    I updated to FCP to 6.0.6 and the program now refuses to open. I've tried deleting preferences and removing Qmaster (which worked, but I reinstalled it after I upgraded to Snow Leopard thinking the OS 10.6 would solve the problem). Any other suggestions? I'm trying to avoid the reinstall, but this 6.0.6 update has been nothing but trouble!

    That fortunately or unfortunately is really the best way to go. The pro apps are a LOT more demanding than the little stuff that comes bundled with the OS. There's an excellent post by Jerry Hofmann from not too long ago that details the process. Use the search window upper right and you'll find it pretty quickly.
    When you're done, your machine will feel like it's brand new and really zippy. you'll love it. Don't forget to archive off to another drive all the stuff you want to keep and BE SURE you've got all your various install discs and passwords handy. It'll take a while. Patience and plenty of coffee.

  • ICal 3.0.8 won't open with Snow Leopard 10.6

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I try to open iCal, I get an error message that reads "You can't use this version of the application iCal with this version of Mac OS X. You have iCal 3.0.8."
    How do I fix this?

    First of all, are you sure you're not opening iCal from another volume?
    If you're sure you didn't, did your SL installation get interrupted? Because it should have installed iCal 4.0.
    I'm not sure if you can just run the SL installer again or not. But that's not a good sign -- who knows what else might have got skipped. I hesitate to recommend any course of action in your case, but check into reinstall options.

  • Mail won't open in Snow Leopard

    Ever since i installed the snow leopard upgrade i can't open apple Mail. When I try to open the application it comes up with a message: "You can't use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mail 3.6."
    I tried looking everywhere for an update for Mail, but i cant find one anywhere. Any ideas on how to get this fixed?

  • Logic Express 7 won't open in Snow Leopard

    Hi
    I hadnt opened my logic express 7 in a while, and in this period I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I tried to open it and it gets stuck with a message saying Loading Audio Files for "Dark FM Drive.exs"...
    and it stays there with a beach ball and then I have to Force Quit.
    Will my old Logic not work here?
    J

    Have you tried to just open LE7 app, not a project? If it launches OK, then there is something wrong with the sound library files (could be permissions or a file-system bug). Also, if you installed SL 10.6 it makes sense to update it to the most recent and stable version, because the initial one was full of bugs, as I remember. You can also re-install LE7 (if anything else doesn't work).

  • Logic Express won't open in Snow Leopard

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now, when I try to open Logic Express 7, the program immediately quits, with the error message below. I uninstalled/reinstalled and the problem still happens. I have also checked for software updates and no luck.
    I already searched these forums. While it seems there are some other problems like this out there, I did not see a helpful answer.
    Process: Logic Express [64105]
    Path: /Applications/Logic Express.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Express
    Identifier: com.apple.logic.express
    Version: 7.0.0 (7.0.0(818))
    Build Info: LogicExpress_ApplicationData-818000~1
    Code Type: PPC (Translated)
    Parent Process: launchd [670]
    Date/Time: 2010-06-06 21:42:59.714 -0600
    OS Version: Mac OS X 10.6.3 (10D573)
    Report Version: 6

    I am fairly certain logic 7 is not compatible with Snow Leopard.

  • Safari won't open or quit.  Cannot Shut Down.

    I have a 3 mo.old MacbookPro - OS X Lion 10.7.3 . Safari suddenly won't open or quit. I can't Shut Down; when I try I get an error message indicating Safari must quit first.  I use computer for just the basics -- web surfing,email, i-tunes, and just a few Word documents saved. So I still have most of my memory yet available, and have very few applications installed. Is there a simple solution to fix this and prevent it in the future.  So far I am not enjoying my switch from PC to Mac.  I have had far too many of these random, complicated glitches which seem to require an advanced degree in computer software to solve.  I appreciate any help. 

    Quit Safari (by force if necessary.) Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the page from reloading automatically. Select Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove all website data to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • Safari won't open web pgs, says cannot allocate memory - HELP?

    Just got iPod Touch, connected to WiFi, but any web page I try to open with Safari gives me the same message: *POSIX error 12, Cannot allocate memory. NSPOSSIXErrorDomain.* What on earth does this mean, and why can't I open any websites??? Grateful for any assistance! Thanks - lizmo

    I've never succeeded in opening a page yet! This is my first attempt. I get the same error message every time. Thanks for any help.

  • Apps won't open in Snow Leopard on my imac

    Hi - a few days ago we had a massive power cut which happened during a storm, and while I was using my mac. Since then Finder has kept crashing and now I cannot open any applications either from the dock or the apps folder, except Firefox for some reason! Any ideas? I've tried reboots, booting in safe mode, and deleting unwanted login items, which I'm worried might have caused the problem. Thanks! Simon

    Try both an SMC and PRAM reset:

  • Since Upgrading to Safari 4.0.3 and Snow Leopard, Cannot access Video

  • Port 80 won't open on snow leopard server

    For some reason, one of my web servers has stopped working.  When I do a port scan, it does not show port 80 as open.  I have another web server, running tiger server, and it is fine.  I have check my firewall settings, and they are fine, allowing http and https.   I have deleted httpd.conf and restored the default about 5 times today, but no luck.  I have done a software update, and am running SLS 10.6.8.  I would appreciate any suggestions.  This happened once about a year ago, and restoring the default httpd.conf fixed.  Not this time.

    Thank you so much for your help.  Ran the configtest, and there was a syntax problem with one of the site config files.  For some reason it was trying to start squirrelmail, even though I had not checked the mail checkbox in Server Admin.   Then I checked the error log as you suggested, and for some strange reason the same config file for the same site was trying to point to an error log at /var/log/httpd  instead of /var/log/apache2.   Considering that I used Server Admin to setup the site config, these errors are a little frustrating.  The short answer to your now moot question is that I was restoring the httpd.conf file because I was stupid and desperate.  I suspected there was some corruption, I just was not smart enough to track the corruption down to the other config files until you pointed me in the right direction.   Thank you again for your generosity in donating your talents to this dicussion board.  I was totally stumped.
