SafariArchives.tar.gz

SafariArchives.tar.gz bring all my free space
please help me for erase it
(14 go on my mac air computer)

You can't undelete or recover that file if you do this, so be sure you want it gone, and be sure you've got a back up or your OS.
That said, AFAIK that's just a compressed file of an old version of Safari. It shouldn't be anything like 14GB (you did mean 14GB,right?). Mine's only 20MB.
If you're sure you want to delete it, open Terminal.app, copy and paste this:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/.SafariArchive.tar.gz
Hit 'return' on your keyboard and enter your Admin password. Your password will be invisible when you type, so type carefully, then hit 'return' and it should be gone.

  • Safari 5.1, Netflix, OS 10.6.8

    I can't seem to run netflix properly after upgrading to 5.1.  I'm still running 10.6.8 and whenever I watch netflix on safari in the minimized mode (not full screen), I get choppy video (not audio).  As soon as I go into full screen it's fine.  I'm almost 99 percent positive it has to do with safari specifically after the 5.1 update because netflix runs fine in both modes (full screen and non-full screen) on both firefox and google chrome.  Anyone else having this kind of trouble?

    Why not just revert your Safari? If you're on 10.6.8, you probably value stability, and Safari 5.1 won't cut it for you.
    This takes about a minute, but make sure you're backed up first.
    Open Terminal:
    At the prompt, paste this:
    sudo tar -xvf /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/.SafariArchive.tar.gz -C /
    Enter password, acknowledge warning (nod sagely), hit return. Terminal goes mad reporting progress.
    Previous version of Safari is restored at this point.
    Then at the prompt, paste this:
    sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.Safari51SnowLeopard.*
    This deletes the receipt for Safari 5.1.
    Quit Terminal and reboot immediately. Previous version of Safari should be installed and working perfectly.
    (Thank you, that sage engineer who decided that 'obsolete' stuff should be archived on the machine)

  • Where can I download Safari 5.0.5 off the apple website?

    Where can I download safari, version 5.0.5 for windows
    Because 5.1 has bugs, crashes, and very not user friendly.
    I tried to search for it, but its like a maze on the apple website.

  • Where can I download Safari 5.0.5?

    Where can I downlowad Safari 5.0.5? 
    The recent upgrade to 5.1 is not compatible with my company's citrix login system and I need to revert back.  No, I had not yet turned on time machine, that certainly would have made it easy for me.  I have that in place now. 
    Thanks!

  • Accidentally updated to Safari 6

    Help,
    I accidentally updated my wife's MacBook Air to Safari 6.0.2 - which she hates with a passion. I need to get back to the previous version. Running Lion.
    John

    There are various instructions around which rely on the Safari update making a copy of the old application & files at Library/Application Support/Apple/.SafariArchive.tar.gz and a note of their locations at .SafariPath in the same folder (both invisible, due the . at the start of the filename. It's possible to expand the archive & replace relevant files.
    others claim to have downloaded Safari 5.1.7 for Lion & used Pacifist, a shareware app to 'force' the install, I haven't tried that specific Lion/Safari combo.
    Apple make, but don't document much beyond listing it as available, a 'repair' package for Lion/Safari which looking inside, does what was mentioned above, using the hidden archive. I used it on a 10.7.5 install which had safari 6.0.2 & it did restore 5.1.7 which then worked as expected in limited testing following the required restart. IF you now have a reliable backup, you might consider trying it, since even if there are problems, you can restore everything from backup

  • I deleted safari off my computer. I can not access the Internet at all. Any idea how to wt it back?

    I deleted safari off my computer. I can not access the Internet at all. Any idea how to wt it back?
    The app is not found at all in my computer

    If you’ve deleted or damaged the Safari application, you don’t have a backup, and you don’t have another web browser, proceed as follows.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window:
    open /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/.SafariArchive.tar.gz
    Press return. The Archive Utility application will launch and run briefly. When it exits, enter the following line in the Terminal window the same way as above:
    sudo cp -R Downloads/.SafariArchive/Applications/Safari.app /Applications/
    Select the whole line by triple-clicking it, then copy or drag it to the Terminal window. Press return. This time you’ll be prompted for your login password, which won’t be displayed when you enter it.
    There should be no output from the above command. If that’s the case, launch Disk Utility, select the boot volume and run “Repair Permissions” (not “Repair Disk.”) This is one of the few times there’s a reason to do that.
    Next, two more commands in Terminal:
    chmod -R -N Downloads/.SafariArchive
    rm -r !$
    Those are two separate lines; press return after each one. You can then quit Terminal.
    Test Safari. If it works, you’re done. If not, you did some other damage to your system and need to reinstall.

  • Possible to migrate installation w/ SLD to new system using 'tar'/'untar'?

    I have a CRM installation with TREX, that I need to move from one unix system to another (same patch level). As SLD is setup, can I 'tar' the entire installation on the old system, 'untar' the bundle on the new system, and bring the SAP setup back into function mode? It should be doable if SLD is not setup. But since there is SLD bundled in the setup, I am not sure if 'tar' is the way to port the installation. I can give the new system the same hostname, but ip address would be different. Any pointer is highly appreciated! Many Thanks!

    Hi,
    You can perform asystem copy, even SLD can be set up later accroding to your need.

    Vamshi.

  • How do I view thej2sdk-1_3_1-src.tar

    I downloaded the file, I unzipped it and I have this large folder that has 11,521 files in it--I cant view or copy any file except by double clicking on it and then it opens the a new developer window with the source for this file in its code window--I cant open a file from any of the java developers I have on my machine--Oracle 9i is what I want to load it into, but I can use borland's jbuilder if necessary
    I'm sure it's just that I don't understand what a .tar file is and how it should be used, so any help is appreciated
    thanks,

    The tar file are meant for Linux, Unix OS. "tar" stands for Tape ARchive. These are compressed files like zip files. In short :
    tar - The GNU version of the tar archiving utility
    DESCRIPTION
    This manual page documents the GNU version of tar, an
    archiving program designed to store and extract files from
    an archive file known as a tarfile. A tarfile may be made
    on a tape drive, however, it is also common to write a
    tarfile to a normal file. The first argument to tar must
    be one of the options: Acdrtux, followed by any optional
    functions. The final arguments to tar are the names of
    the files or directories which should be archived. The use
    of a directory name always implies that the subdirectories
    below should be included in the archive.
    To view the contents of the tar file, give the following command:
    tar tvf j2sdk-1_3_1-src.tar
    To extract the contents of the tar file, give the following command:
    tar xvf j2sdk-1_3_1-src.tar
    i hope this information will help you.

    Hi Joe,
    thanks for your feedback.
    These files to be tarred aren't there directly after backup stops with error.
    It seems that some process stores data about reports in that file and when trying to
    pack these reports via tar they are delete by any cleanup method.
    Does this help.
    P.S. Backup usually takes about more than 1hour

    I seem to have a larger problem on my desktop machine.  When I try to untar stuff on that one it creates a .cache directory for some weird reason and populates it with, I think, cached files from my home directory.  It ends up having firefox, mc and other cached files in the new directory and then tar just errors out with:
    gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
    tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
    tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
    tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
    Very odd behaviour and I'm assuming some config file somewhere is responsible for this behaviour.  But where else can I look apart from .bashrc? 
    @ids1024, I'll do what you've what you suggested on my netbook later today and record the information to post afterward.
    [edit] Here are the contents of that .cache directory, if it helps:
    dconf event-sound-cache.tdb.silver_yunzi.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu event-sound-cache.tdb.tengen.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu fontconfig mc dmenu_run

  • Backup many tar files in the same tape

    hi all
    i have many small geoframe projects of size,,around 3,,,5 GB but the lower tape contain 24 GB availble space..
    ===> I WOULD BACKUP ALL THE SMALL PROJECTS UNDER THE SAME TAPE...
    for example i have three project (proj1,proj2,proj3)
    the problem is when i write these line for backuo these projects together then the tape is rewind even i use 0n option!!!!! :
    $ mt -f /dev/rmt/0 rewind
    $tar cvf /dev/rmt/0n proj1
    $mt -f /dev/rmt/0 rewind
    $mt /dev/rmt/0n fsf 1
    $tar /dev/rmt/0n proj2
    $mt -f /dev/rmt/0 rewind
    $mt /dev/rmt/0n fsf 2
    $tar /dev/rmt/0n proj3
    ===> logically, i should find the 3 project inside the tape (proj1,proj2 and proj3),,,but i always find the latest single project when i use the tar command for list the content of the tape:
    $tar tvf /dev/rmt/0n
    proj3
    if someone know what's wrong whith this operation please don't hesitate to give me the solution
    thanks in advance

    Before running the tar, run 'mt -f <device> status' You should see that for later runs, your tape is not on file 0/block 0
    Also, you're doing it the complex way. Don't rewind/forward between each one. Just always use the no-rewind device and leave the tape in place.
    mt -f <tape> rewind
    tar cf <tape> proj1
    mt -f <tape> status # verify not at beginning of tape
    tar cf <tape> proj2
    [etc]
    If you use the rewind device, then when you run 'status', you'll see the tape is at the beginning.
    Try again, but this time show the status just before running the final tar to tape, and show the status just before gathering the contents of the tape.

  • Recovery from tar file

    Hi,We ate creating a tar file every nigth with all the essbase apps, all directories etc. Then we are ftping the tar file from production failover machine. Then I am doing tar -xvf file name.All driectories are getting created etc. When I goto app manager I am not seeing the apps.Please Advise.Thanks,Minash...

    Have you created the apps/databases in Essbase yet? In addition to copying the files over, you still need to create the apps/databases.

  • How do I start Firefox 4 from KMenu when I downloaded and installed Firefox4.0.tar.bz2 (only launches from terminal), and 'apt-get' installs Firefox 3.6.15 even though I tried to "--purge" it from Linux?

    I downloaded and installed Firefox 4 RC using tar.bz2 so that I could still use Firefox 3.6.15 as per normal, having to start Firefox 4 using the terminal which worked great (except for many videos on different websites). When Firefox 4 was released, I suppose I was in a hurry to get it to work normal from my menu, but it kept saying that 3.6.15 was the latest version (I'll be quite embarrassed if it wasn't available for Linux users - I do love Firefox!). I did something silly, like purge Firefox from my operating system (Kubuntu 10.10) and when I reinstalled it was still 3.6.15 (it wasn't really downloading, but unpacking). Am I in too much of a hurry or is there a fix-it? I can use Firefox 4, but only through the terminal and I suspect it is slower than it should be. I would like only one version now.

    First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion.  To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4.  What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
    Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content.  Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems.  You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults.  A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
    Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install.  If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

  • What is a .tar backup file and can I delete it?

    I'm cleaning up files on my iMac and noticed a file in my Documents folder (where I keep applications installation files) that is called "backup-fri-feb-08-15_42_35-2013.tar". This file is over 7 gb so I would like to remove it but I can't find anywhere what it is. I found a wiki page that explains that .tar files are old Unix format but what do I need it for and what program created it?

    I use an external drive but I use Carbon Copy Cloner instead of Time Machine and I have TM turned off. I'm wondering if it is a backup file from a program I don't even use any longer. I also use Parallels for 2 Windows programs and I'm finding that some of the Windows programs create backups of stuff I don't need or use. Sounds like it would be safe to delete it.
    Thanks so much.
