Safari, Mail, iTunes Broken after failed Safari 3 install

Hi,
I tried to install the Safari 3 beta. The installer froze while in the configuration stage. I forced quit. Afterwards, Safari refused to open, as it had already been deleted by the installer. This was not altogether a surprise. However, I am also unable to open Mail or iTunes. Furthermore, I cannot open the Safari installer to try to reinstall Safari.
Does anyone have any suggestions for where I can go from here? I hope I don't have to reinstall OS X altogether.
Thanks,
David

OK, thanks everyone for the help.
After digging around in the system folder (dangerous, I know) and comparing it with another Mac, I discovered that I was missing the Webkit framework from the Frameworks folder and a Javascriptglue (?) framework from the Private Frameworks folder. Venturing into a root account (still more dangerous), I duplicated the missing frameworks from my other Mac and added them to their respective folders.
Clearly, the Safari 3 installer froze up after deleting these frameworks but before reinstalling them. No harm done, as I was able to use my other Mac (which was completely up-to-date, bar Safari 3) as a source for the missing files.
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions.
P.S. On the off-chance that someone hits on this topic while looking for help with a problem, I should point out that using the root account can be very bad for your computer if you don't know exactly what you're doing. Messing around with your system folder can also prove fatal. Please be careful.

i can no longer access itunes store after iso 7 was installed... can i go back to iso 6

No you can't.
Reboot your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME for up to 30 seconds, until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any data settings. When your iPad restarts see if you can access iTunes.

Mac OS 10.6.7 Server, Safari Keeps Crashing (after failed FileMaker Server install)

Mac OS 10.6.7 Server
After several attempts of installing, uninstalling FileMaker Server 11.
(FileMaker Server 11 still will not launch, Admin Console)
Now totally un-installed
Safari constantly crashes a few minutes after launch.

I think it is due to the Java update that either comes with 10.6.7 or was released just before 10.6.7 so is probably included in the 10.6.7 update anyway
Try this
Open Java Preferences (use spotlight to find it)
Check what version of Java your computer is using for both the options it should be "Java SE 6 64bit" at the top of both lists click it and then click options and what is the version number 1.6.0_15, 64bit (this version works)
if you have version 1.6.0_24 i have found it wont work
I had this happen with 10.6.6 with the java update and ended up reinstalling the whole server as i thought it was something else causing the problem I have since not installed the java update from reading some info on the filemaker site and then still haven't installed 10.6.7 in case.
Not sure how you can backdate the java version perhaps check the sun website (or is it oracle now) to see if you can install an older version
Whatever version is at the top of the list will be used so if you can drag an older version to the top and then restart you should be fine.

Bricked on "Connect to iTunes" screen after failed 7.1.2 update

After attempting and failing to update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.2, I am stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen. I have connected the phone to iTunes and attempted to restore twice, neither of which have been successful. I'm not sure what the problem is.

cannot get iTunes off of iPhone screen after updating iOS 7.1.2? Help

How do I A) Edit failed messages and B) Stop Mail from trying after failing

I'm trying to send an email but it keeps coming back and saying the address isn't valid. It's a very long email and don't want to re-type the whole thing, but would prefer instead to send it to myself so I can edit it on my computer. When I go to outbox, I see it there but I can't figure out a way to edit it. In addition, it seems that the outbox is constantly trying to send even after i fails in turn preventing any new messages from coming in. In other words, the only way I can get new messages is to delete this message from my outbox. I don't want to do this until I have sent it to myself. So A) how do I edit this message once it's in my outbox and B) is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send over and over even after it says that it has failed?

I had this problem a week or so ago......
I'll speak generally from memory. Sorry, I can't be as specific as possible, but this method did work for me on three bad messages I had over a couple of days.
I got the message into edit mode, possibly by selecting a send it to me option, possibly not.
The correction was to click on the outgoing address in the header and then the iPhone presented me with my outgoing email address options. Changing the out-going address fixed the message.
I may have been left with the original message, but the complete copy with the corrected address went through, and then I deleted the incorrect version once I was certain it went out okay.
Afterwards, I make certain I'm selecting an out-going address that the iPhone will work with. My home Roadrunner address is what fails on the iPhone, when I make certain to use my Google address, all works fine. And if a message fails on me, I check that out-going address to see if that was the problem and needs to be changed.

IMAP Mail Trash broken after upgrading to Mavericks

Hi,
after upgrading an iMac from latest 10.8 to 10.9 Mail.app doesnt use the trash folder on imap correctly.
It displays the trash folder separately; the "global" trash folder doesn't contain anything.
When deleting an email it is moved to the trash folder like it should be.
Any idea how to fix this?

In the left panel that appears after clicking Show, I only had Inbox, Flagged, Sent, Trash, Archive, On My Mac, and my name. After hovering on my name "Show" appeared. I clicked on Show and all the mail boxes appeared. Problem solved

Mail completely broken after 10.9.4 update

Since the Mavericks update, my email functions are all haywire.
It takes minutes to open mail.
Commands don't work. For instance,
Mail will move to trash or junk, but not delete. When I restart, it is back in my inbox.
The "Rebuild" command doesn't start at all.
Mail crashes or needs to be force quit on every startup
On startup, I see that apple security is looking for a sandbox fs extension that is no longer there. Anybody know how I can get security to stop searching for the long ago deleted extension/app?
Crash reports say: ReportCrash[551]: Invoking spindump for pid=477 thread=36897 percent_cpu=54 duration=167 because of excessive cpu utilization

When I try to invoke Rebuild, console message says Mail[477]: View Based NSTableView error: preparedCellAtColumn:row: was called. Please log a bug with the backtrace from this log, or stop using the method.
Can anyone offer any insights?
I have already done the following:
Reset PRAM/NVRAM
Started in Safe Mode
Shut down, unplugged for 15 seconds and rebooted
Verified/Repaired disk permissions
Ran a complete diagnostic with Tech Tools
Ran a complete virus check
Uninstalled Clean My Mac
Changed trash preferences in Mail, then rebooted and changed them back.
All was fine before the update to 10.9.4
Updated today to 10.9.5, no help
I do have a time machine back up, but not sure what I would need to do to go back to an earlier version of Mavericks.
Thanks,
Pam

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Can I get back to iTunes Music after failed external hard drive transfer?

I am in the middle of moving a bunch of files to an external hard drive. I followed instructions posted and mentioned on this forum to move iTunes Music; changed iTunes Music folder location to go to the EHD, then consolidated library there. I never deleted the iTunes Music folder that was in My Docs. I noticed a problem with the EHD file and had to delete the iTunes Music folder that I had just set up with a plan to just redo it. I did this thinking that once I reset iTunes to look for the Music folder back in My Docs I would be fine....but, iTunes can not find the original file for any songs. I can manually point iTunes to the song in My Docs, but there must be a better way. I have already changed the Music location in iTunes back to My Docs. Is there something I am missing?
Thanks

cgb33,
You can use the Add Folder to Library option as explained in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
Note that while this will add the songs themselves to iTunes, playlist and related information will not be included.

How do i get itunes back after new hard drive installed?

I have had a hard drive fail and a new one has been installed. Not I cannot open itunes. I get a message saying " itunes cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes"???
Anyone know how to fix?

Did you reinstalled iTunes ? It looks like you had a newer version of iTunes with the corresponding database, and now your iTunes seem to be an older version. If you are a little patient, you might easily fix this with iTunes 10.5 which should come out very very soon since iOS 5 has been annonced for tomorrow.

OEM DB control slightly broken after 10.2 fresh install

People,
I just installed 10.2.0.2 on Solaris x86 using instructions I found here:
http://bikle.com/protected/o10gR2_solaris10x86
Everything seems to work okay except for some small areas inside of EM database control.
For example, in the first page of the Home tab I see a Java null pointer exception.
After a minute, the page changes shape and gives information about:
DB Instance
Listener
General
Agent Connection to Instance
It says :
the DB Instance is down
the Agent Connection to Instance is down
the Listener is up
General is up
Here are some details I see about
the Agent Connection to Instance
Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12505: TNS:listener does
not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR:
OCIServerAttach).
In the performance tab,
I see this:
java.lang.Exception: Invalid BoundDataSource: no class, method or dataSource provided.
at oracle.sysman.emSDK.chart.EmChartBoundDataSourceBean.initDataSource(EmChartBoundDataSourceBean.java:97)
Aside from this,
parts of EM work just fine.
In the Administration tab,
I can do things like query data files.
In the Maintenance tab,
I was able to do an Object Level Recovery of a row
which I had deleted from a table.
Can you give me any tips on how to get EM fully functional?

IPod Touch 4G stuck on "connect to iTunes screen" after iOS 4.2 install

Hi, I just got the new iPod Touch 4G. When I first plugged it into the computer, everything worked fine; iTunes recognized it, I set it up in iTunes, and I was even able to play with it temporarily. When I tried updating to the iOS 4.2, when the update was almost finished, I got an error message. Now it it just stuck on the "connect to iTunes screen"
Yes, I have the latest version of iTunes.
Yes, I uninstalled all Apple programs then re-installed iTunes (many times)
Yes, I have updated the drivers
Yes, my devices are "enabled"
Yes, the Apple Mobile Device Service is started and automatic
Any other ideas?

I really don't know what happened but my iPod Touch is working now!!! Thank you so much! I'm not really sure if it went to DFU mode or not but all of a sudden I can access iTunes App Store already!!! WOOOOAAAAHHHH! And it asked me to type in a new name for my iPod! So everything's good! Thank you so much! Thank you! You have no idea how happy I am right now!
For my iTunes:
Thank you!
P.S: Grrrrrrrr! My bad! I'm new here and I kind of messed up the Correct Answer and Helpful Answer buttons. Sorry. Dunno how to change them.

Multiple iTunes Libraries after an Archive and Install

I recently did an archive and install. I have virtually no disk space left now.
For instance I have an iTunes Library in my Previous System folder that is 11.88 GB and now I also have an iTunes library in my current set up that is 11.33 GB.
I would think these folders are duplicates, so why might the newer Library be a smaller size?
In short, what files and folders can I trash in my Previous System folder so I can reclaim my Hard Drive?

Netstorage broken after 6.5 SP5 install

After patching to SP5 (and post patches) on NWSB 6.5 server, NS is
broke. Users can login and drives map OK, but no data appears.
After the SP5 install, I couldn't authenticate. I followed TID
10098297 and that fixed authentication.
also - when trying to access NSADMIN, I get an error that I'm not
authorized and that I need to be proxy user or equiv. logged in as me
and user Admin. no luck.
Jeff

OK, if I map with IP address, I can see files now, but.... when I try
to download, it prompts for login/password again. And won't accept
anything.
