Safari Extension - Google Reader for Snow Leopard Not Installing

Google Reader for Snow Leopard is not installing on my 10.6.4 system with Safari 5.01. It just claims to be "Installing"...forever.
Anyone else have this problem?
Steve

Hi Steve,
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If you can install the Google Reader extension, move that .plist file to the Trash.

  • Safari 5.1.10 for snow leopard not opening web page

    The last few days Safari will not open the following web page "//canucks.nhl.com" it gets stuck on loading 27/102 items.  A forced quit is rehired.
    I have reset Safari, repaired disk permissions, and still no result.  I have 3 Safari extensions,  1Password, AdBlock, Print Plus.  I disabled them and no change.
    Google Chrome opens this page with no problems.
    Fire fox opens the page but reports an unresponsive script, clicking on stop script opens the page.  The Script: http://www.nhl.com/nhl/js/_jslib-plugins.min.js?v=6.37:6
    Thanks in advance

    Today, for no apparant reason the web pages from the site now load with Safai.

  • Safari 5.1.8 for Snow Leopard available

    But only as part of a recent security update. Still, those still with Snow should take advantage of the security upgrades that we thought would not happen.
    Available through Software Update.

    Are you kidding?  That would be a HUGE step backward.  It's almost as if Apple snuck this into the security update just so they could sabotage Safari for Snow Leopard.  Is Apple that desperate to get us to leave 10.6.8 and go to Mountain Lion?
    It's really screwed up that I'm now going to avoid a security update just because Apple decided to sneak a Safari update inside of it.  This is a highly unusual and suspect way to "update" Safari.
    Can anyone else verify tking13's issue?

  • Snow Leopard not installing over Leopard

    Since Leopard isn't doing any software updates, I decided to install 4BG Ram and then I found a local computer store that still had Snow Leopard to sell.  (Lucked out there!)  The ram installed successfully but, when I put the Snow Leopard disk in, it won't install.  It let me go through the steps to set it up and, when I click "Install", it just sits there.  The progress bar doesn't move and the time remaining stays at 45 minutes.  The computer sits quietly.  I left it that way for an hour just in case, but, nothing.  Any tips?  I called the store and they said my optical drive might not be reading the disk.  I can't bring my computer in because I take city transportation and have to walk quite a ways.  Any help offered would be appreciated!
    I haven't had ANY problems with Leopard at all.  I'm just upgrading to Snow Leopard so I can then upgrade to Mountain Lion.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • WHY GOOGLE EARTH FOR MAC DOES NOT INSTALL ON MY MAC?

    I downloaded Google Earth for MAC from official site; worked fine for a week. Then it crashed. No use trying to reinstall: it crashes as soon as the black sky with stars desktop appears.
    I trashed original download and downloaded a new one (always from official site). Same results.
    Any clue?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are 120 items with plist extension.
    The nearest things to apps preferences (plist) I found in the finder, were a couple of .globalPreferences.plist different in date and a .globalPreferences.(numbers and letters).plist.
    Emptied in the trash and rebooted.
    Same items now show today's date, and Mac is apparently OK except for need to reconfig mouse and language....
    Reloaded Google Earth.
    Same early crash at launch.
    ???Any idea???
    Thank you for your quick response and help!

  • Preparing for Snow Leopard - fresh install or upgrade?

    I have two Mac's at home currently running 10.5.8 that I will be upgrading to Snow Leopard. My question is, do I need to do a fresh install or upgrade over the existing OS and is there a preferred approach?
    Mac 1: Macbook Pro (late 2007)
    Key Applications in use:
    - VM Ware Fusion
    - Bootcamp (Vista)
    - Logic Express 8
    - MS Office 2008
    Mac 2: Mac Mini (2009)
    Key applications in use:
    - Plex
    - MacTheRipper
    Thanks in advance!

    Since no one yet has SL to determine what options are available you will have to wait until Friday.
    But in the most general terms a fresh install is always preferable. You can prepare by doing the following:
    1. Repair your hard drive and permissions.
    2. Make and test a bootable clone to another internal or external drive.
    Because you have two Macs you will need to purchase the Family Pack. You cannot install a single-user license on more than one CPU at a time.

  • Can't update Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard

    On several websites it says that I need to update my browser.  When I click the links, they take me to the Apple website and all it does is tell me to download the regular version of Safari 5.1.10 NOT THE UPDATE.  There are several sites I need to use, that I can't.  Any suggestions?

    You need to upgrade the computer’s OS or switch browsers. To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Can't open new windows in Safari 5.1.2 for Snow Leopard

    I have downloaded the 10.6.8 combo update and of course installed the new version of Safari.  Now I cannot open a new window (whether it is a link or if I do apple-n on the keyboard).  I must be missing something here that must be very simple to fix this, but I have tried everything.  I might have to find an old link to a 5.1.1 site and download that version again (it was working fine before I downloaded the new version)
    Any help would be appreciated!  THANKS!

    Try emptying the cache and resetting Safari.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Try a new window.
    If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset. Try again.
    If that didn't help, go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari / Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    Try again.

  • I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard. Now there is a new Xcode for Lion, so I downloaded the new one but the installed continued to be the old one. Now App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me to re-download Xcode. How can I proceed?

    I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard 12 days ago. After installing Lion I saw there is a new FREE Xcode for it, so I downloaded the new one but after installing automatically Xcode for Lion the Developer folder contained the old one. I deleted the old Xcode but the App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me re-download Xcode.
    How can I proceed? I'm guessing whether this problem will occur each time I buy an application from App Store.

    Yes, that's righ, Xcode installer was in the Apps folder. I assumed it had been automatically installed and the installer deleted after installation (the same way as Lion is installed).
    I tried also the procedure for redownloding applications, and MAS showed both Xcodes (Lion and Snow Leopard) and OS X Lion. We see that buttons for Lion and Xcode for Snow Leopard say 'Install' but Xcode for Lion says 'installed' because there is an Install Scode in the Apps folder.
    Thank you.

    I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
    It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package
    http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc9005d/n/Safari.pkg.zip
    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

  • Snow leopard not supported any more? security updates for safari

    Apparently the latest security updates for safari have been released for lion & mountain lion but not for 10.6. I have had some problems updating to lion so I'm still on snow leopard. Does this mean snow leopard is not officially supported any more? Not sure if this should be of concern to me. I would like at least the security related updates to be up to date on my machine.

    Don't hold your breath.
    With the possible exception of the odd critical security patch (like the recent Java ones) there are unlikely to be any further updates for Snow Leopard.

  • Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on an iMac 27in

    My Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on my iMac 27in. The Apple Logo is the only thing the user will see. The current OS on the system is 10.6.6. Upon placing the Snow Leopard DVD in the system, the DVD players spins for a few seconds and displays the Apple Logo. Nothing happens after 20 minutes.

    Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
    I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.0, attempted boot, same infinite white screen/apple logo.
    I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
    I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
    I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
    I like Apple, but sheesh do I hate Lion right now.

  • Ran Onyx for Snow Leopard (cleanup) and now my Safari is GONE. HELP!

    Running the latest OS. I ran ONYX for Snow Leopard, the cleanup section I think, and now Safari is GONE. Help! I downloaded it again from Apple's site and installed but it will now show. Help! I ran a repair disk, repair disk permissions and all finished OK. Help please!!!!
    I could restore it with Time Machine but is that the best thing to do?

  • Cant find fresh Safari download for Snow Leopard

    I know this should be easy, but my old Safari got deleted and I wanted to download and install the latest version for Snow Leopard. I downloaded the link on the front page of the downloads page and it doesn't work at all. It opens a page and does nothing. I have to force quit to stop Safari.
    Where can I find Safari 4? I would then download the update for Safari Snow Leopard, correct?

    HI,
    I downloaded the link on the front page of the downloads page and it doesn't work at all. It opens a page and does nothing. I have to force quit to stop Safari.
    Safari relies on the OS X framework called WebKit so it's not exactly an application that runs on it's own so just downloading Safari from the Apple site doesn't do the job.
    *Reinstall Safari from your Snow Leoaprd disc or your Mac install disc.*
    Insert the Snow Leopard install disk. Open the Optional Installs folder, then open Optional Installs.mpkg
    An Installer will start... click Continue. When you get to the Installation Type in the window on the right you will see: Applications. Click the Disclosure triangle so it faces down. Select the apps you want to install and click Continue.
    When you are finished installing Safari, go to the Apple Menu and click Software Updates. That will bring your new Safari up to date.
    Then repair disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
