Safari Beta for Mac

Are there improvements in Safari Beta that would make it a good reason to update Safari 2.04 on my Macbook Pro w/OS X? I will not be using windows. Thanks

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I have enjoyed using Safari 3, especially In-line Find, expanded text boxes, better spotlight function in the Bookmarks Manager, improved tab function and faster rendering speed. Some "bugs" still exist (nature of a Beta release) such as retaining Auto-fill information for forms, in some instances slow Bookmark folder or menu rendering, and very minor instability on certain web sites. More information can be found here and here.
If you use any 3rd party Safari add-ons, such as SAFT, PicLens, or SafariStand, you'll need to upgrade the plug-ins before running Safari. Also, 3rd party PithHelmet and AcidSearch are not compatible with Safari 3.
In the PDF realm, if you use Adobe Acrobat or Reader as your PDF source, you'll need to install their most recent versions for Safari 3 compatibility.
When installing Safari 3, do not use the computer for other tasks. If you need to revert to Safari 2, the only way to do so is via the Uninstaller included in the Installation package.

Troubles with Safari after downloading Safari Beta for Mac

I recently installed the new Safari Beta and have been having problems ever since. My browser constatly crashes and closes. It is a real pain in the arse. Is there any way to go back to the previous non-Beta version of Safari so i can stop this problem?
Thanks and have a great weekend!

You have ask your question in the Forum for Safari in Windows.

Vmware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX Released Today

I don't know if this is the correct forum; if it's not, please pardon me.
VMware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX has been released today. This product, while the developers admit has some bugs in it, promises to make virtual computing a whole lot easier and would eliminate for many (not all) the need to use Boot Camp. The link for this new program is http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/
On that page you can find links for support and forums as well.
If you need a free virtual appliance to use with Fusion, then use this link http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/
Currently, there is no charge for using the BETA program. The VMWare folks are asking people to give feedback on their use of the product.
This is what we've been waiting for to purchase our new MAC. I can say without a doubt that from my own experience with Linux boxes, VMWare is the best virtual solution on the market. It's easy to configure and supports a wide variety of hardware and OSs. I can even move the virtual machines I created under Linux to my new MAC when I receive it.
The time has finally dawned for me to retire the last remaining pc towerbox in my home. My wife and I recently expunged one of those machines earlier this week and are eagerly looking forward to getting rid of the other one.
We am really looking forward to purchasing the new Mac Pro. What makes it especially appealing for us is it's scalability and the fact that we can use our current hardware,including our Kensington Track Ball mouse and current monitor with it, although we are taking a serious look at a new Apple Display as well.
Many thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this post. I am looking forward to joining and my wife is looking forward to rejoining the MAC community.

Preview in Safari Beta for Win not working

Hello All,
Anyone else having this problem?
I installed the new Safari beta for Windows (xp) and added it
to my Preview in Browser list in Dreamweaver, pointing it to
safari.exe, but when I try to preview, Safari opens and displays
the home page, not my Dreamweaver project page.
Any thoughts,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Safari beta for win has a number of problems. Loading local
pages is one of
them. I found if I preview in another browser like FF from DW
and then copy
and paste the page URL into Safari it works sometimes. Search
this newsgroup
for "OT: Safari for XP/Vista"

Safari download for mac.

my internet has been insane lately. so i decide to wipe out my browsers and re downlad them incase its just a corrupted safari. so i trash safari and keep firefox. all is well untill i go to the apple website and find now safari download for mac. am i crazy? there are 2 otions for windows users and no mac. uhhhhhhhhhhh.....help?!?!

The reason for the lack of a download is mainly due to WebKit. This is the part of OS X that knows how to render a webpage and is used by Safari, Dashboard, Help Viewer, Mail.app etc.
Each point release of OS X tends to update WebKit and the versions of applications that work with it. So, Apple would have to provide downloads for every variation of Safari that has been released - going back to 10.3 that's probably getting on for 15 different versions. As you can imagine this is just as likely to lead to people trying to install the wrong versions for their systems.
The same applies to other OS X applications - Mail, iCal, iChat, etc. None of these are available for individual download in the case of accidental deletion.
The one exception to this that is made is that you can reinstall certain applications from the installation DVD, as mentioned in [this article|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229].
For Windows, life is a bit simpler as WebKit is delivered with the Safari application (since there are no dependent applications on Windows that use it).

Messages Beta for Mac - Clears history when closed

I have a big annoyance with the Messages Beta for Mac. When I close the window and re-open it, all the conversations are gone. This makes it hard to reply to a message I got earlier or review recent conversations. On iDevices, if you close it, everything is still there, unless you delete it. This is how I think the Mac version should work, anyone agree?

this mine did this the first time, but not after that.
when I first tested messages beta, I texted a conversation, closed the window, and was surprised to see my conversations were not saved
however.
now my messages are saving even after shutting down the messages app completely. I turn on messages and all my chats are back where they were when I shut down. May just be a bug, but even under preferences it includes an option to choose where to save chat transcripts - so I imagine the final version will have this worked out and all your messages will be saved how you want them

Re: Safari Download for Mac OS9

Does anyone know if there is a Safari download available for Mac OS9 and if so, where can I find it? I'm currently using IE 5.1 and need an upgrade.
Thanks.

Hi Ellen;
Safari was only released for OS X 10.2 or newer. If makes use of features that only became available at that level of the operating system. I don't believe anyone has ever even tried to make it avaiable for OS 9.
Why do you need Safari?
If you need is great enough, you might have to migrate to OS X.

Messages (beta) for Mac totally inoperative

Hello,
I am running OSX 10.7.3 and Messages beta. Location is Germany, Apple ID is working fine. Same with iMessage for iOS.
Messages for Mac simply does nothing. No matter to whom I try to send a Message, I always get the red failure badge.
Furthermore, on my MacBook Air I seem to be unable to uninstall Messages. There's always the info that I am not connected to the Interent, which is obviously not true. This does not happen on my iMac, where I can uninstall easily (same WLAN).
So for the time being, Messages for Mac just does not work at all for me. I have no old MobileMe account and my one and only Apple ID works fine for all other purposes. Exception: I am frequently being asked to verify my primary e-mail-adress, although nothing had been changed.
Since FaceTime also never ran really stable for me (and many other peole I know of), I'm beginning to wonder if Apple has a serious problem with the Apple ID identification / connection regarding FaceTime and iMessage (Mac only).
Every response is highly appreciated.

In the meantime I was told (offline) that I have to have the DNS-port 8.8.8.8 open. I saw to that, and everything started to work immediately. Complete sync over all devices in almost real-time. AND: FaceTime seems to work fine, too.

How do I get the NIS toolbar in the beta for mac

It is available in the non beta Firefox for mac, why isn't it available in the mac version 24 beta?

I don't use Norton, so I can't check this, but I have a guess. Extension developers typically specify a range of compatible Firefox versions. Firefox often ignores this range so that older extensions continue to work on new versions of Firefox, but developers can state that the range should be strictly observed and then Firefox will disable the extension on non-matching versions.

After updating to Firefox 8 Beta for Mac, no window opens on startup.

After updating to Firefox 8 beta on Mac, I tried to open a new session. Upon starting, a pop-up appeared in the upper left corner of the screen. ([[As seen here.|http://i51.tinypic.com/2z9i99s.png]])
I tried to close it by clicking Cancel or OK, neither of which was successful. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Firefox 16 versions still work with your OS X 10.5 operating system, but that is the last version that will work.<br />
Firefox 17 will require OS X 10.6 and later.
You can see the Firefox 17 (currently in beta) system requirements here:

What is the latest Safari revision for Mac OSX 10.4.11

I have a vintage Mac G3 B/W Desktop PPC, which still operates perfectly. But, at times Safari 4.1.3. periodically crashes. Is there a later revision that I can upgrade to? Software Update says the computer is up to date.

Niel,
I am sorry it has taken so long for me to respond to your post, but I have isolated my Safari crashes to my system not accepting some new RAM that I instaled. You posted that Safari 4.1.3 was the latest version for OSX 10.4.11,Tiger,followed by a statement"Not on a G3 (85970)". What did you mean by this statement and is the 85370 an Apple document number? I need to update my system information. My system still is a G3 B/W PPC, but I have upgraded the Processor to a G4, if that makes any difference

What organizer is better for Mac, iPhoto or Elements 12?

This is somewhat of a re-post because I could not find a way to respond to a reply.
Right now I have duplicate libraries and want to go to one Library. I am trying to figure out the best way to go. It looks like I can get the same kind of organization as in the Elements organizer with iPhoto Smart Albums but I didn't know if I could import PSD files to iPhoto and Barbara B. says that iPhoto does not like PSD files.
So if I want to be able to save in PSD I need to stay with the Elements Organizer and Editor.
To make my best decision I want to know what I am loosing in general Macbook utility if I eliminate iPhoto and go with the Elements Organizer. I have only had my Mac for a few months but I see that iPhoto drops photos in programs like Keynote very easily. If I stay with the Elements Organizer will I loose some utility or will I be able to drag and drop everything I need to simply?
I am asking the question because I have space problems with my 9K photos now. I only want to delete one of these libraries once and want to make the right choice.
Thank you.

Well, the right one is the one that works best for you. I'll start by saying that in real life I don't use either one, because I dislike asset management programs, so I have no dog in this fight.
The advantages of iphoto are that it's much better integrated into OS X, has much nicer options for slideshows and projects, and is generally a more polished performer than organizer.
The advantages of organizer are that you can save as many versions as you like, that your photos aren't in a proprietary library (you can just file>open in any program to get at an organizer photo), and it gives you more options for working with raw.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Two other options to consider would be aperture and lightroom, too.
It's not something that anyone can answer for you. It depends so much on how you like to work.

Highest Safari version for Mac OX 10.5.8 ?

My current Safari version on this MAC is 4.0.2 - this Power Mac is at its highest possible OS, but am I able to update my Safari higher than 4.0.2? If so, to what?
Thanks.

Hmmm - Niel responded that I could upgrade to 5.0.6, which I went ahead and did before I saw your post, and it downloaded and seems be be working OK. I realize I need a whole new upgrade of hardware to keep up with today's browser demands, but while I DO have a Macbook Pro running on Mavericks, this ol' PowerMac is my main workhorse and the best I can do for a desktop right now. Hopefully this 5.0.6 upgrade will help get me through sme sluggish browsing.
Thanks for all your inputs.
Dan.
