Safari 8.0.2 will not install

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.

Safari 5.1.2 will not install

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.

Safari 3.1.2 will not install on Mac witg OSX 10.5.5

My Safari was acting erattically. Not finding helper applicatione like Adobe reader etc...
So I uninstalled it (Dragged it to the trash and went for a new install)
When I run the installer I get a message thst says
"You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer."
I'm running 10.5.5
Prithie! How do I get Safari to install again?
FYI This is a Mac Server

First of all, if you're using Mac OS X as a server, do you have Mac OS X Server installed, or just the regular Mac OS X?
Secondly, it appears that you don't know what you're doing, since there was nothing wrong with Safari, but you deleted it anyway, without considering the consequences of your actions. Then you expected to download and install it again.
*You cannot do that.* What you downloaded is an updater, which means you had to have Safari 3.0.4 already installed to be able to update it. But you deleted that and so it won't work, no matter what you do. The filename clearly says it's an Update. If you want to reinstall Safari, you must do this:
1. Repair Permissions.
2. Insert your Mac OS X install disc and navigate to the Optional Installs folder and open the Optional Installs.mpkg file.
3. Check the box to install Safari and run the installer; this will install Safari 3.0.4.
4. You can then attempt to apply the Updater you downloaded for Safari, but since you already have 10.5.5 running, it will in all likelihood not work. You will need to download and reapply the 10.5.5 Combo Update to update to Safari 3.1.2.
5. Repair Permissions.
To avoid these problems in the future, don't treat your Mac like it's a PeeCee, where deleting and reinstalling something is a common fix for application issues. On a Mac, the problem is rarely the application, so don't create more work for yourself and others.

Safari 3.1 update will not install

Hey guys,
I downloaded the recent updates, safari 3.1, security update, and the time machine update. They downloaded fine. I click restart so they can update. It restarts fine and the status bar for the update comes up, this is where the problem comes in. The installer will not go past configuring Installation. I left it for 2 hours and it had not moved, I tried it once again a few days later and the same thing occurred. I have a MacBook with 10.5.2. Any suggestions?

I had 3.04 and was trying to download the 3.1 that software update suggested.
I've done a backdoor method that worked.
Going through software update I again had the problem described earlier.
What I ended up doing instead was remembering that I had Internet Explorer for Mac 5.2
I used that browser to go to Apple>support>safari and navigated to a downloads page there.
From there, the (slow) Explorer downloads process (saveas... then choosing desktop) put the "Safari31UpdLeo.dmg" file onto my desktop which when opened gave me the package to use to install Safari 3.1.
Working just fine it seems.
Go figure--Microsoft Explorer was the key to downloading Safari 3.1 for Mac

I am trying to use an education program that needs Java applets to install and use and it will not use Safari. When I download IE from the web it will not install. How can I get a browser that will work on my MacAir for travel use of this program?

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.

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.

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!"

Safari will not install, HELP!!

My update to Safari Beta was interrupted and never installed, but in the process Safari 2 was removed from the system. Anyways, I can't find a safari version to install, every version I have tried tells me I need a different version of the OS.
Example:Trying to install 2.0.1, at Select Destination, I select Macintosh HD and the Installer gives me the !You cannot install Safari Update on this volume this
software requires Mac OSX 10.4.2. and Safari 3 Beta give me the !You cannot install Safari 3 Beta on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.
Any clues? I am running the latest OS and

What seems to have happened is that the 3 beta has removed Safari 2.0.4 and not installed 3 - unfortunately you cannot install 2.0.1 because it's too old and 3 won't install because it doesn't see a version 2! You should note that safari is an extension of webkit and if this has been updated in the OS to the v.3 version then this could also stop the beta from installing as it thinks it's already in there. May be the uninstaller will work if it's there?
I'm not sure what to recommend here, sorry, I'm afraid the lesson is to stay away from betas!!
Best guess from here is to archive and install from your OS disk (a pain if it's 10.4.0 I know) and update from there - any other suggestions, anybody?

Will not install in Windows 7 64 bit

Downloaded SafariSetup.exe but it will not install. Clicking on it results in message: "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running." I need Safari to run WebKit. Is there a Safari that will run on my computer? OR is there another browser in which to run WebKit?

Yeah, I think it falls into the same category of problems as "not a valid win32 application", "invalid signature", and "unknown publisher" messages ... usually all of which relate to installers getting damaged on the download.
At any rate, I'm glad you got things working again.

Update will not install

Hi,
My computer had to be put into storage. As I expected, when I took it out there was a few updates. Most loaded without a problem but the new update for Leopard will not install.
The blue line only goes a small way then stops. I left my computer on all night thinking it just needed time but it still didn't go past where it stopped.
I can't access iTunes until this update updates.
What do I need to do?
Thanks,
D

Some general advice on updating:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Safari Crashes and then will not open yahoo.mail or gmail

Safari Crashes and then will not open yahoo.mail or gmaill
Is anyone else having these, or similar problems. i cannot log-in to my yahoo.com or onto gmail. The issue started yesterday.
The message states that it cannot secure the
connection.
Any suggestions?
I downloaded Netscape to be able to log-in into my accounts.
What a pain. I am using 10.3.9, and all was fine
thanks,

This just happened to me. Apparently yahoo mail just implemented something.. Check out this message from yahoo mail.
=================
Sorry, Yahoo! Mail Beta does not support your browser.
You can either download a compatible browser or proceed to the original Yahoo! Mail.
If you want to use the Yahoo! Mail Beta...
You can download any of the supported browsers for free by clicking the links below:
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher (for Windows)
Firefox 1.5 or higher (for Mac and Windows)
SeaMonkey 1.0.8 or higher (for Mac and Windows)
To proceed to original Yahoo! Mail...
Simply follow the link below. If you sign in later with a supported browser, you will automatically be taken to Yahoo! Mail Beta.
Proceed directly to the original Yahoo! Mail
I use 10.3.9 and I have no idea why yahoo mail stopped working today. I have firefox installed on my machine. BTW - firefox is able to serf the web without issues on all of my sites. I often wonder why apple wanted to build a browser, why not just use firefox and contribute to it's development for the mac environment?

Adobe flash 10.1.102.64 will not install

Adobe Flash 10.1.102.64. will not install
I downloaded fp_10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0_archive but it will not install. I did use Flash uninstaller program first.
Under Application, Adobe Flash.app 10.1 r102 18.9 MB shows installed.
What did I do wrong?
If I uninstall Safari, then download reinstall, will that help me? I currently have no Flash plug-in with Safari 4.1.3 or Firefox 3.6.22.

Did you maybe install the stand alone player & not the plugin for browsers?
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...
