Safari download doesn't work

Previously I was using Safari 6.1 on my MBP (OS X 10.7.5) and all was good until I had a window telling me that my current version of Safari was no longer supported by youtube.
I downloaded Safari 7.x and now it will not open. The new Safari icon in the Applications folder has a white circle with diagonal slash (like the NO or Do Not Enter signs) and when it is Clicked there is a window saying "You can't use this version of Safari with this version OS. You have 10.7.5 and it requires 10.9."
I tried downloading Safari 6.1 and it said the download was successful. But the newer Safari icon (described above) remains in the Applications folder. Even tried downloading Safari 6.1 to another location (User's directory) but it won't open there and that doesn't work either.
How do I get Safari back?
And I'm assuming I've probably lost all my bookmarks and history too!
Help, please.

Thanks dominic23… I do have my data backed up . Just that Safari doesn't work now.
And thanks QuickTimeKirk for your suggestions.
You mean the ONLY way I can get Safari back is to restore the Operating System?
When trying to install a version of anything that is not compatible with the OS you normally get a window saying such. And the OS doesn't allow the installation. In this case the OS allowed the installation thereby killing the working version and leaving an incompatible version. So I'm out a working version of Safari unless I restore the entire OS?
Surely there's another way. Thanks again!!

Rentals are a one-time only download from the store. If you can't free up enough space on your phone for it then you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they grant you a redownload for your Mac : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

When I pluged in my iPad, I was told to download the newest version of iTunes. But the download doesn't work. There is no message about this, except "Thank you for downloading iTunes".
What can I do?
Thank you for your answer.

Download doesn't work with Safari

Just a tip if you happen to be using Mac OS. It appears that the License Agreement
page doesn't work using Safari. Works fine with Camino, though.

Hi Matthew
Does the Activity Window work normally when Rapport is uninstalled ?
If so, I'm not sure what you could do beyond keeping it that way & watching for an updated version; or contacting
http://www.trusteer.com/support/report-problem & seeing what they say, since it might conflict with some other add-on. You've the same trouble in a new account ?.

Download doesn't work

tried 2 times
closed safari etc
say blocked plug in
it worked fine before this
need to SPEAK to a PERSON
PLEASE
JODI

Restart your computer.
I downloaded Flash Player 12 as prompted by my know-it-all computer. Then I was blocked. I made sure Safari Preferences were set as required by Adobe: Security - make sure to allow plug-ins and under General - make sure to tick the box that allows opening safe failes after download. Still nothing.
I uninstalled all Flash Players (11 and 12). Then I reinstalled. Now instead of being blocked my computer didn't even recognize that I had Flash Player. There's no prompt to restart the computer. But I finally did and now it's working.
So try restarting. If that doesn't work, uninstall all older versions or all versions, reinstall, and restart.
And BTW, I called Adobe Support only to be told if I wanted help I'd have to pay $59 for support. So Adobe gives me a gift of freeware but says I have to pay them to hand me the scissors to cut the ribbon? I don't think so. Especially when I knew it would take them 3 seconds to give me an answer.
Adobe? I hope you're reading this. Shame on you for not prompting to restart the computer and double shame on you for telling me I'd have to pay you to get freeware working.

Safari Download links not working, opening new page

Hi, I am not to happy with the latest version of Safari, and it has made one problem worse. When I click on a download link, more often than not, instead of getting a file to download, it opens a new page and appears to be loading the file as raw code. I will see in the location bar at the top something like:
download.php or FileName.zip, and it cycles a while until the full file is loaded but does not show anything by a blank page... Before this version I could right click and choose save linked file As and it would usually work, but now that doesn't work.
Anyone else seeing this problem or have a solution?
I have speed downloader but I have it turned off for sites that were problematic, but Safari doesn' seem to use it anyway, because when it works, it opens a Safari download window, not SD
Thanks
Jeff

Quit Safari if it's running. Move the file
Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
in your home folder to the Desktop. Test again. If downloading now works as expected, then that's where the problem lies. Otherwise, it's still somewhere in your Safari settings, but I wouldn't know where. You'd have to ask the "Speed Downloader" developer what to do next.

Safari menu doesn't work

I have a strange Safari bug... After about a day of using Safari 2.0.4 (the latest stable version), the main Safari menu stops working. I can still pull it down, but selecting anything in it does nothing.
For example, I can pull down the Safari menu and select Quit, but the app doesn't quit. I can pull it down and select Preferences, but no preferences appear.
On the other hand, I can type Cmd-Q and Safari will quit. I can type Cmd-K to toggle pop-up blocking. But selecting any item in the menu doesn't work.
All the other menus work fine. Safari itself also works fine. The application menu in other apps work perfectly.
The problem crops up after about a day or so. If I quit Safari and re-launch, the menu will behave correctly for a while. Then, sometime later, it will stop working. Safari has been doing this for at least a year -- perhaps two.
I have tried trashing Safari's preferences. A Mac Genius suggested installing Safari 3 Beta, then un-installing to restore Safari 2, but that didn't help.
Any ideas?
PowerMac G5 Dual Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This might be worth a try:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
Safari has been doing this for at least a year -- perhaps two.
And you never to question it? I have never seen that behaviour.

Mavericks download doesn't works for me.

Hello, I been trying to download Mavericks 10.9.4 from Apple store, but doesn't work. Over and over again that i try to download it, shows an error, this one:
I have a Mackbook white unibody from 2010 with Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Can anybody help me upgrade my mac?

Adobe Photo Downloader doesn't work for me

I've installed the trial version of Lightroom. It installed the photo downloader, which would be fine, except that it doesn't do anything - it never pops up when I insert a card. If I explicitly select "Launch" from its menu, nothing happens. I can't get Lightroom to automatically detect a card insert at all, even the option to pop up the import dialog doesn't work.
What's worse, is that I also have Elements 3 installed, and this new version of downloader seems to have replaced the one that comes with Elements, so now I have no auto-downloading at all.
I've tried running apdproxy.exe from the command line after killing the running one, but it doesn't print any useful diagnostics. There's nothing in the event log either. Can anyone help me diagnose this?
Thanks!

That happened to me until I did an Import in LR, then the auto-load worked every time after that.

New to Safari - GMail doesn't work?

I have always used Firefox on my Mac, but I decided to try Safari a little. I use Gmail religiously, but I noticed it only displays the "basic HTML" view in Safari. When I try to enable the "standard" view mode, it doesn't work.
I have tried searching the forums but haven't found any conclusive answers. Should I just stick with Firefox or Camino instead?

Is it possible that you have JavaScript turned off in Safari? That would do it, since Standard view for Gmail requires JavaScript.
If it's on, have you tried at different times of the day, since it could be an intermittent issue? Do youu get any error messages, or messages of any kind when it won't load Standard view? Post again with more details.

Mavericks download doesn't work

I'm on OS 10.6.8 now, trying to update to Mavericks.
However, the download doesn't seem to work: for some reason it paused, and I can't get it to start again. Right clicking the Dock icon and hitting "Resume" or "Cancel download" doesn't do anything. The only thing I can do is drag the icon off the Dock, after which it disappears. However, when I try to retry downloading it, clicking "Install App" in the App Store doesn't do anything.
I've tried logging out and in, and even restarting, but that doesn't fix it. However, when I do log in, the Mavericks download icon appears in the Dock, saying "Paused".
I also noticed in the Activity Monitor that "kernel_task" uses most of my CPU all the time, even when I have no programs open. This never happened before I tried installing Mavericks. Could it be related?
Please help!

Here's a screenshot of the Mavericks download, stuck on Pause.

Thank you so much dominic23 ! I think i've got a bug on my Lauchpad because the status (progress) bar doesn't move.
When i take a look at the page linked to the download tab i can see how many time it will take, ... and everythings is obviously alright.
