Safari froze and then can't reinstall Safari 3.1.2

As seen in other posts, my Safari program would not open yesterday. It would freeze before opening a window and then crash. It seems others have had this problem and I followed the advice that worked for them. I deleted com.apple.safari.plist I repaired permissions. I even repaired disk (no problems there). I then uninstalled Safari. Using IE, I downloaded Safari 3.1.2 but could not install because it said I needed to be running 10.5.2 or newer. I am running 10.5.5 (another scratch of head here). I then used Pacifist to extract Safari 3.0.4 from the installation disk. Installed Safari 3.0.4 and then tried to open it. It froze again. Any ideas on what I should try next?
Thanks!

I am seeing this problem all over the discussions over the last few days, but no real solutions.
Last night, safari started freezing at startup before opening a window for me too. Nothing new was installed since it last worked.
I deleted safari, deleted the plist, and tried to reinstall 3.1.2. Of course, as with you, it told me that I needed 10.5.2 or later, when I have 10.5.5, and that it could not install.
Many users having the same problem around the same time, with no solutions at all.

  • IPad lost it's "touch" you can't turn it on because you can't slide the slider.  I did a simple reset, and then a full reinstall from iTunes - neither worked.  Any ideas?  We are a school so I can't even afford a "chat" with Apple.  So thank you.

    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. That will cost nothing and you will then know what the problem is and what alternatives you have for a fix.

  • Tried to download a book on to iBook 2. Days ago and it froze and still can't open iBooks again

    Was trying to download a new book but when I went in to the author and tried to open the book it all froze and I can not get to open my iBooks now

    Delete the iBooks app then reinstall.
    Tap and hold the iBooks app on your iPad then tap the circle with an x then tap Delete. Press the Home button once or twice to stop the apps from jiggling.
    Now tap the App Store icon. Type in: iBooks in the search field top right corner of the window. Tap the iBooks app to reinstall.
    Restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Now try opening the book you downloaded.

  • I've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

    i've tried multiply times to update itunes 10.5 but it keeps saying that it can't find the file and i can't reinstall itunes because it will delete the 100 gigabites of info on it what can i do

    I've had all kinds of trouble keeping my iTunes software current over the past year, but have found the easiest way to remedy the issue is to simply download the latest version of iTunes as though I am a first-time user and then just install it into the directory my current version of iTunes is using. Doing this has allowed me to update my software without losing any of my media/data. Hope this helps! Best of luck!!!

  • When Firefox was automatically updated, it removed my yahoo toolbar and I can't reinstall it.

    When Firefox was automatically updated to 29, it removed my yahoo toolbar and I can't reinstall it. I go through the motions of installing the toolbar and when I restart Firefox, the toolbar is there for a split second and then is deleted from the display. I have since removed the automatic update feature from Firefox and will only update if I deem it necessary and non-destructive. In the past your software has also removed the Social Fixer add-on. I am aware that Facebook does not like Social Fixer. Mozilla should remain neutral. You should not do Facebook's dirty work for them. I can do without Facebook and I can also do without Firefox.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • TS1702 iTunes freezes on my iPhone 3GS - and I can't reinstall it!

    ITunes launches ok but freezes whenever I try to view any albums, podcasts or other content.
    And I can't reinstall it as that doesn't seem to be an option.

    Have you tried closing the iTunes app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iMac goes to disc utilities on startup, repair disk doesn't cure it and I can't reinstall Mountain Lion because I don't remember my I'd and password at the time I bought the software. Currently working abroad and at a loss can anyone help please?

    My iMac goes to disc utilities on startup, repair disk doesn't cure it and I can't reinstall Mountain Lion because I don't remember my ID and password at the time I bought the software the system isn't accepting my current details and Apple isn't recognising the answers to my security questions.  They don't even seem to have my correc date of birth so I can't progress the reinstallation.  I'm currently abroad and have my iMac with me but with no way of contacting Apple that I can find, I'm at a loss and very reluctant to pay £35 to try and get my ID and pasword sorted out given that their system recognises my current details.  can anyone help please?

    when they gifted me the mountain Lion software several years ago.
    Mountain Lion was introduced in July 2012. Did the people who gifted you possibly use their Apple ID for the purchase of your OS? If you used your own Apple ID, you should have simply used the one you use for all things app store. The problem with any purchase at the app store is: whatever Apple ID was used to purchase, it willl stay tied to that Apple ID forever. And, purchases from the app store are not transferable.
    So, you can check with the person(s) who gifted you or spend $20 to buy it - or, if your hardware is compatible with the new OS Mavericks, you could download it and associate it with your Apple ID.
    FWIW, according to the licensing agreement, the OS remains the property of Apple and you are only granted a license to run it.

  • Can i save a query in one package and then can i move it into another .....

    can i (in bw 3.5)save a query in one package and then, can i move it into another package? if yes what is the procedure? if no, why? if yes , after moving can i see that query in one package or both? plzzzzzzzz its urgent....

    Hi Neeraja,
    Yes, you can save a query in one package and then move it into another package and transport the query with new package.
    There are two ways...
    1. You can change  the package assignment from one to another with the same request and transport the objects with request assigned to the new package.
    2. You can create a new request and assign the new request to new package and transport the new request with new package assignment.
    For first one, follow below process...
    Changing the assignment:
           1.      Choose  Package in the toolbar of screen area Collected Objects in RSA1 --> Transport Connection.
    The Select Objects for Changing package dialog box appears.
           2.      Select the objects whose package assignment you want to change.
    This procedure is especially useful for changing all collected objects, or a large number of them. For this reason, all indicators are set by default. Remove the indicators for individual objects where necessary.
    Note: You can only use  Details to display the details for an individual object when this is the only object that is selected.
           3.      Choose  Copy. The Change Object Directory Entry dialog box appears.
           4.      Enter the new package.
    For second one, you need to add the query in the transport organiser and assign new request and transport package and then go for transport. But this will create two requests on the same query. So, don't go for this. First step is preferable.
    Hope this helps u...
    Regards,
    KK.

    Thanks for the added information, the screenshot did not get posted but that is ok.
    These steps should resolve the issue on your Mac:
    Double-click on the link for Uninstall Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 at Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
    Check if the Install link is now available in the Adobe Application Manager.
    If not, install and run the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove any traces of Premiere Pro. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
    The Install link should now be available in the Adobe Application Manager.
