Safari download not recognizing my OS 10.5.4

I've been a mac user since the '80s.. and I've always used Safari since its introduction.
Today-- it kept saying "Application Not Responding" -- tried rebooting the iMac. Tried repairing Disk permissions, Disk Warrior reports no problems.
Tried downloading Safari from Apple.com. When I try to install, it says that my disk which is running 10.5.4 must be running at least 10.5.2. WHICH IT IS! I tried downloading and installing the Tiger version. No dice. Won't install.
I have a question. My current version of Safari is 3.1.2. Are there some files I can delete to try to get it up and running again?
Firefox running fine. Opera- fine. Camino fine.
I'm puzzled. My iMac is running perfectly and Safari is NOT playing nice- in fact not playing at all!!!

Barry is absolutely correct on this-- I've tried installing it from the website--- both Leopard and Tiger editions of Safari 3.1.2. No dice. I have 10.5.4. It keeps telling me that my system must be at least 10.5.2. (when I try the Leopard download) Obviously I have do have the minimum requirement.
*Barry. This issue is all over the Forums. Any discussion in the Lounge?*
So Barry, I have a new question. I inserted the Install DVD for Leopard-- booted from it.. and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to JUST GET SAFARI from any menu or setting that I've tried.. and I've tried everything. Could you literally give me a point by point install instruction for Safari from the Leopard DVD? Thanks so much to both you and JP.
Hi Dan, and Barry,
Here is where to look in Tiger w Leopard being very similar.

Office 2011 and Safari downloads not working

I am using Safari and recently installed Office for Mac 2011. There is a website I visit to download Excel reports and previously with Office 2008 I would download and it would open in Excel without any issues. However, since I upgraded to 2011 the file no longer downloads with a .xls extension (in fact, it has no extension at all). When I try to open the file it isn't associated with any program. When I open it with TextEdit it looks like HTML. If I add .xls extension to the end of the file, however, it will open in Excel 2011 normally. Any thoughts on how to fix this without having to add the .xls extension every time? Thank you!

i am having the same problem; when i have to use the 'Export to Excel' option on our site, it downloads with .aspx instead of .xls; that is a Dreamweaver extension and i can't open it with any data only the column headings if i add .xls; if i use the 'open with' option, Excel is greyed out so i cannot even choose it.
when i try to use the older version of Excel, it is now doing the same thing;

Safari Download not working on Power Mac G5

I am running 10.3.9 system software with 512MB ram. It is the model with all the hardware in the monitor (19" I think) , it has no tower.
I cannot install the new snow leopard system software or updates to several software programs including safari.
My questions are, is it time to just buy a new Mac Book for 999.00 or are there cheaper upgrades that can be done (More Ram) and keep the existing model.
I currently have the new macbook pro and love it, but the other MAC is for family use?

Hi Dave,
Time to buy a new Mac for family use. You can't upgrade on the old model to Snow Leopard because it requires an Intel Mac.

Iphone not recognized by itunes and my safari also will not open??? Help??

I bought an iphone and synced it. When unplugging it, I realized all my apps I downloaded were gone off the iphone (I did find them in the itunes folder however) but the issue is, my Safari and my itunes program will NOT open. They bounce once and that is it, never opens. No errors, nothing. I have been going insane trying to figure out what the problem is. Anyone else have this issue?

Windows media player not recognized as a valid plug-in in safari?

on this PB 15 1.67/OS 10.4.3 I experienced some difficult in installing a piece of software, here's the thread....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1360929#1360929
prior to this difficulty, I had installed windows media player to access video clips embedded on news web sites etc, and everything worked fine, video usually streamed right into the media player, not saving a file to the desktop, but merely playing in a window....
to solve the software install problem above, I returned to the apple store & they suggested and helped me accomplish an archive & re-install of the OS, and afterwards, the problem software installed properly...
since the archive & re-install of OS 10.4.3, my windows media player is not recognized as a valid plug-in by safari.
when I click on a video link (embedded), a seperate window appears that describes my need to install windows media player 9 for mac (and it's already in my app's folder), when I download the file to attempt re-installing media player, stuffit doesn't seem to un zip the file after double clicking on it, no app file appears on the desktop to mount in the apps dierctory?
if the video link is not embedded, I can cntrl-click and save the file to the desktop and it will play normally, but if the file is embedded I have no means to see the news clip etc?
also, for those video files that are not embedded, instead of playing directly via streaming, when a link is clicked, the file downloads to the desktop before playing?
these aren't huge problems (well when trying to view an embedded news clip it is!) but any help in trying to return to normal behaviour would help!
thanks again,
dave
powerbook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

thanks for the link, but I wa really looking into making the win media player function as it had before I had to archive & re-load OS 10.4.3
I use the player infrequently, but it drives me crazy when I'm looking @ a news page w/an embedded video and can't merely click it's link & see the clip!
any thoughts on why I can't get the win media player sitx file to un-stuff and possibly re-install win media player to allow safari to recognize it as a valid plug-in?
thanks again....

When I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it as a device. I have deleted and re-downloaded iTunes twice which seems to fix the problem temporarily but then the next time, the device is not recognized.

What happens if you go to iTunes > File > Devices, do you get the option to Sync iPhone?
You could try a reinstall of iTunes. OS X Yosemite: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac

Drag File From Safari Download Window to Other Volume - Moves not Copies File - Bug or Feature ?

Hi,
Appreciate comment on what I thought was unusual Mac OS behavior. Running Safari 5.1.5, OS 10.6.8.
Mac OSs in my experience copy a file when it is dragged and dropped to another volume/drive. (Let's leave classic desktop out of this.)
It may be the first time I've ever done it in any version of Safari, but just dragged a file directly from the Safari Downloads panel onto another drive's icon - and it appeared to "move" the file from its original download destination to the other drive and not simply copy it onto the other drive.
Didn't look like a copy and standard Finder delete since I didn't see file in the trash, although it was gone from the finder window for the download folder (Desktop in my prefs), and afterwards Safari Download Window magnifying glass icon "can’t show the file “filename” in the Finder because “filename” has moved since you downloaded it." It's reproducible.
Assuming it's not unique to my configuration, is this a bug or "feature" ?
Thanks.

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the General tab.
You can deselect: Open "safe" files after downloading.

HT4922 Downloaded 5.1.1. to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Running very slow sluggish! Is there a fix? Sound like other users are experiencing same problems. Anyone have a solution?

Downloaded 5.1.1 to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Email seems to be ok. iphone running slow and sluggish. I have read several other users have experienced the same problem. Any solutions?

Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

My hard drive crashed on my Mac Book Pro and I just had it replaced yesterday. After restoring my data, Safari will not open. The error message I continue to receive is "Safari quit unexpectedly" Should I just delete the application and download a new?

Here you go.....

An install request for a new helper app appeared, I entered my system password to download the app. Since then safari will not open. It just comes up with a safari quit unexpectedly report. I have tried logging on as a Guest but it does the same.

I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Yosemit. MY safari will not open, it only comes up with a safari quit unexpectedly report. A new helper app appeared requesting my system password to download the helper. Stupidly I input the password, when I log off I can see the download icon for a split second still running asking to abort or continue. How do I sort this?

Mac OS 10.5.6 downloaded Firefox 3.6.13 Came as .dmg When I try to launch it says "Not Recognized". Right click for "Open With" refers me to Disk Utility when same results "Not Recognized"

About my Mac > G5 Desktop OS 10.5.6
Want to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.13
The download comes as a compressed file in .dmg format. When I attempt to launch the .dmg file to decompress I get a error message that says: The following disk images failed to mount: Image > Firefox 3.6.13 Reason > Not Recognized. When I right click to see what opening app it is directed to it says: Open with "DiskImageMounter (default). Disk Utility is offered as another opening resource when I direct the file to Disk Utility and go to Menu Bar select "File" then select "Open Disk Image" (or Cmd + "O") I get the same result. Have tried downloading the file twice more and get the same results

Vk2mh it sounds like the download was not complete or corrupted. Where are you downloading the update from? Have you tried downloading again?

Downloading songs from two different computers, and not recognizing songs

On my home computer, I downloaded about 40 songs onto my IPod from CDs. Then, I installed the program on my work computer, and purchased four songs from ITunes. When I plug my IPod into my work computer, it is not recognizing the songs I downloaded from my home computer. However, if I plug my IPod into my work computer, I can listen to these four purchased songs, but once I try to listen to them without having it plugged into my work computer, only the songs I downloaded from home are on the IPod.
Has this happened to anyone else who has tried to put songs from two different computers onto their IPod?

Just to elaborate a bit, you need to copy the purchased files and put them on your home computer.
Don't burn them as an audio CD as you will lose quality when you re-import them.
You can use the Shuffle (instead of a CD) to do this
