Safari 6.01 on Lion 10.7.5 will not install extensions.
I have Lion 10.7.5 with all updates, Safar 6.01 as well. It will NOT install any extensions. I get the message "An error occured while installing this extension." I have repaired permissions, rebuilt launch services. It does not matter what extension, same result. I have even reinstalled Safari to no avail. Any suggestions from the wonderful minds out there? Thank you in advance.
I have even reinstalled Safari to no avail.
The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion is to reinstall OS X using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
You mentioned that you have v10.7.5 installed but I see v10.8.1 in your profile ??
Exactly which OS X is installed ???
Troubleshooting suggestions may be based on that information.

Lion developer preview 4 will not install
I am trying to update to Mac OS X Lion developer preview 4. I am currently running developer preview 3. When i click "install", it tells me "This software cannot be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading". How can I fix this?
Well, all I can say is that error message is not at all promising - it sounds like a signature is broken, and that's not something that you're likely to fix on your end of the process. might be a oops moment - give it a couple of days and see if a new revision is posted, and try downloading that.

I have purchased OS X Lion, and, the program will not install on my 2007 IMAC currently running Snow Leopard. I get a message stating a recovery system cannot be created. I am also running bootcamp on my Mac.
I had the same problem. 10.6.8, Bootcamp with XP and Parallels and 400GB free space. "recovery system cannot be created" I tried all the Apple help topics and forums with no success. The only way to get it to install was to delete the bootcamp partition. Unfortunately this also meant that I couldn't reinstall XP as it can't be installed under Lion. I still think it was due to Parallels but I can't prove it.
I wish I didn't keep trying to install it, though. Lion is the worst OS ever created by Apple. I've been with OS X since Cheetah (10.0), and Lion was the only version that made me go back out of necessity. I could live with Rosetta and peripherals that are no longer supported. What I can't live with is bugs like no search in mail, display issues, mouse issues, programs opening old documents at launch even though its been turned off, apps changing file extensions, incomplete results in Spotlight, etc.. It wasn't stable enough to even bother to try any of my third party apps. I didn't even get far enough to find out if I had the wifi or samba bugs that most have.
Lion turned my iMac into a buggy, unstable, 27" iPad. Everything has been oversimplified and hidden. iCal and Address Book have been crippled. Even simple things like Spotlight showing the path to a file (that is if it can find anything) have been removed. Everything Lion "replaced" has been made less functional, like iCal, Address Book, Spotlight, Spaces and Expose. Everything Lion "added" is nothing but gimmicks, like Launchpad. Then there's the removing things for no reason, like Frontrow. To top it off, 10.7.1 fixed absolutely nothing.
The best advise is to keep the Lion installer tucked away until the 10.7.5 update comes out. Maybe by then it will be stable enough to be used for anything other than a toy and maybe you'll be able to install it without trashing your bootcamp partition. Till then, enjoy the superior functionality of Snow Leopard. -
Running Yosemite 10.10.1. The Safari 8.0.2 will not install. Says it has installed several times in the App Store but is also still available for download. Have checked Safari itself and the version is still 8.0.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. -
I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.
Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive. -
I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there -
Do I have to buy Lion or snow lepoard or is there a way to updated from OS X 10.4.11?? I have a new ipod that will not work without the ne itunes, but the new itunes will not install without a newer vesion of Max OS X. Help please
Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

Downloaded Safari 5.1.2 from the Apple web sit, running OS X.7.2 on a Quad Core Mac Pro.
Software will not install. On installation window reads "Waiting for other installations to complete". Does not compete nor install after 30 mintes.
No other programmes running at the time.Have you rebooted since this started? If not, please do that and try again.

Update bundle just released for Aperture 3.4.2, Safari 6.0.2, and iPhoto 9.4.2 will not install. Keep getting error "The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -3001.)(102)" Any one else having this issue? Please help.
Hi there!
Yes, same problem too; I've already sent an email to apple support and just received a very vague and unpractical response with "call apple support in your country" as main advice. I've obviously emailed back stating that I need a clearer response and I don not have any intention to spend money calling for support when updates is a free tool. I do also believe this is a probem generated on Apple's end, I just wish they learned to say "sorry, it's us; working on it!"

HT5022 Airport Utility 5.6 will not install under Mountain Lion
I have older Base Station Extreme and Airport Express models that need to be looked after; however, the fix to install Airport Utility 5.6 under Lion will not work under Mountain Lion. The installer complains that "the version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported". So...suggestions?
That is correct. AirPort Utility 5.6 for OS X Lion will NOT install under OS X Mountain Lion. If you had it already installed, and then upgraded, it would have worked just fine.
One option, is to use Pacifist to extract the utility directly from the .dmg file. -
HT5022 What works with Mountain Lion? AirPort Utility 5.6 will not install on Mountain Lion.
What gives? The AirPort Utility 5.6 wil not load on a computer running Mountain Lion. Attempted both on an iMac and Macbook.
That is correct, the 5.6 version of the AirPort Utility will not install under Mountain Lion ... but it will run on it once installed. One option is to use a utility, like Pacifist, to extract and "install" the utility into the Utilities folder.

Purchased 2010Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download -

You could've backed up your iPad prior to the "forced" upgrade which, by the way, you could have cancelled. iTunes doesn't upgrade your iPad, automatically, on its own. You had to click the Upgrade button to initiate the upgrade. You didn't have to do anything with that button. You can just leave it be.
iOS 8 is garbage on iPad 2 and 3 and even though iTunes keeps giving me the Update button option, I continually choose to ignore it.
Ignoring the Upgrade/Update button doesn't affect the normal iTunes/iDevice syncing/backing up operations.
You could've just left that button alone.
When was the last time you backed up your iPad?
While there is no way way to revert to a previous iOS version once you upgrade your iDevices iOS, iTunes saves multiple backups of your iDevice and if you backed up your iPad previously to this latest activity, you should be able to restore your iPad from an older backup that should appear by date when you plug your iDevice into your Mac, was for iTunes to launch and sync your iPad, then cancel the backup in progress and use the Restore function in iTunes to restore your iDevice from another previous backup version date.
If your current version of iTunes doesn't recognize your iPad2 under iOS 8, you need to check the iTunes update feature, in iTunes or in OS X Software Update feature in OS X Preferences panel to see if there is a iTunes update available for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
