Since Safari update, ichat, itunes, safari and update don't work.

I've got a weird one . . .
I ran the software update this morning for the new Safari, as well as iTunes. At the end of the download, I got an error message saying iTunes worked, but the Safari update was not successful. It then made me restart. After restart, software update refuses to open, as do Safari, mail, iChat, and iTunes. Third party programs run fine, as do iCal, iPhoto, etc. Firefox works fine. I downloaded the Safari update package off Apple's site via Firefox, but the package "unexpectedly quits." I'm thinking the failed update screwed everything up, but if I can't open a package installer OR the software update program, how the heck am I supposed to fix it?
I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on a Powerbook G4.

Not so weird, Travis.
It is happening to many of us. G5 tower 10.4.11
So the update killed iChat, Mail, itunes, safari, dictionary any apple installer, software update, as well as programs like cocktail, onyx and many others too numerous to name here.
My update didn't have an error message.
Here is what I have done:
Dumped all the prefs, tried to find corrupted fonts=none, cleaned font cache, repaired permissions (I always do this before I install any apple stuff), repaired disk, did that from the main drive and from a laptop with the G5 as a target disk. Made new users=nothing.
Started in safe mode and used terminal to fsk the HD.
NOw I will try to install safari from the laptop to see if safari is the rascal.
Disappointed in the whole thing, basically I am stuck with no mail, no apple Tv, and although there are work arounds, this is not what I need, Thanks Apple!

  • Safari and wireless don't work unless I am connected to wireless

    safari and my wireless don`t work together, unless the macbook is connected to the wireless

    Take your MacBook to another location where wireless networks are available - a coffee house or public building - and see if it finds wireless networks when it starts up. If so, the problem might be with your router at home. If not, you might check System Preferences > Network and see if Airport is operating/on.
    If by "connected" you mean via ethernet cable, there are a couple things to try: Take a look at your wireless router's settings (router's manual will have instructions for accessing settings) and see what security features are on/off.

  • Facebook; safari and firefox don't work.

    I use OSX10.5 on Mac Intel, I was using safari and switched to firefox 12 due to the following issues; facebook takes a long time to load, doesn't load properly, applications unresponsive including inbox and it times out.  Now firefox is doing the same and I have been through Mozilla's suggestions, still nothing.  Please help, I just wanna play Scrabble!   

    Thank you for responding, after I posted this I thought, "JAVA"!   Firefox disabled it for me for security protection, deleted it!  Wa-La!  Works. 

  • ITunes Store does not connect (Safari and MSN don't work either)

    Hi when i try to connect to the iTunes store through iTunes it says there was a connection error and it times out. Also MSN and Safari do not work; MSN says there is not a connection and Safari just doesnt load any pages. However programs such as Adium and Firefox work fine. Now i assummed it would be a problem with my router, but the weird thing is, iTunes and MSN work fine on the PC i have. Also the programs worked fine on my Macbook whilst i was at uni last week so i am not sure what the problem is. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

    I've had the same problem for a few months now. I keep getting an error message that the network connection has been reset. However, I'm still connected to the internet on my iBook, it's getting really frustrating.

  • Why Safari and QuickTime don't work on OS 10.3.9?

    I have an old Mac G4 running OS 10.3.9.  Safari 1.3.2 does not work properly. Moreover QuickTime does not work at all. I cannot watch the movies on my website. I know my site is OK because everything works with a newer computer. What can I do to improve the situation? The interesting thing is that in the past everything worked fine. The problems started when I reinstalled the system and upgraded it to 10.3.9. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I also apologize for having posted the same question on the Safari forum. But I think the present forum is more appropriate.

    When you reinstalled and upgraded to 10.3.9 you perhaps have not applied relevant updates to Java and Flash.
    10.3 Panther barely works on the internet anymore so i am not suprised you are having problems.
    You can check which Java version you have at the link below
    http://www.javatester.org/version.html
    and I'd try another internet browser like Camino. It is 'less old' than Safari is on 10.3, but basically 10.3 has been left behind as far as the internet goes.

    Click Software Update from your Apple menu. Make sure your software is up to date.

    The older Safari / QT versions may not be able to stream the video.

  • I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now my encryption passwords for my iPhone and iPad don't work.

    I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now my encryption passwords for my iPhone and iPad don't work. I know Apple says if you forget them then it's your problem. However, this was a direct result of my iTunes upgrade. I spent hours trying to fix this. HELP!

    Definitely seems to be a cross-platform bug in iTunes 10.5 concerning all NAS disks. Shared libraries on network drives worked fine under 10.4.1, but now there is just an endless loading cycle with no error message or time-out. There is a bit more about it in this thread.

    Safari and mail is not working on my new iPad with iOS 5.1.1, tried every trick in the book but to no avail. Please suggest in case I want to update my ios5.1.1 as I fear that it might have corrupted somehow, what's the way to do it. I don't want to upgrade to higher iOS versions. Thanks

    Close Safari and Mail app on the Task Bar and re-launch.
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
    2. Hold Safari and Mail app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

  • Safari and Mail don't launch

    Please help. Safari and Mail have stopped working. They bounch once in the dock and quit. Any ideas? I am typing this using Firefox.

    Jeff, Jessica & Tom --
    When you all did the updates,
    did you repair permissions before and after?
    See Sections A & B of Trav's Tips
    Here
    Permissions need to be done before (and at least after) major upgrades, Security updates, etc. Anything that requires your administrative password.
    Do these, and get back to us, OK?

  • TS3276 Mail screen is stuck on draft screen the past 4 days. Safari and all others are working. But when I click on mail, it shows the draft screen. This is the last thing I was working on. I was able to send my mail then. Then the screen just stuck on th

    What to do if the screen is stuck on the draft screen? I was writing a mail, saved it as draft, then later, was able to send it. However, the screen did not revert to the inbox page. The draft page seems to be hung or stucked. Safari and all others are working ok though.

    I sent the draft to myself several times. That did not seem to be working, but when I opened Mail this morning, it has been sent all of the times and the Mail screen is no longer frozen.

  • University network only SAFARI and App Store is working other apps are not

    In the University network..university of Adelaide australia..network(eduroam)
    after i setup the proxy in the Wifi connections..only safari and App store is working..MAIL,MAPS,WEATHER, Youtube or any other internet access apps such as instant messengers are not working...
    there is nothin wrong with the device because @ free wifi hotspots evrything works fine..
    PLEASE TELL A SOLUTION FOR THIS

    If I understand you correctly, the iPod Touch is working fine at wi-fi spots except for your university. If some apps work there, but others do not, I would suspect that some ports are being blocked. I know that at my local mall, I can access the web via browser, but they have blocked the email ports, so I can't use the mail client.
    I find it hard, though, to believe that the university would block the email port(s), but I would suggest that you talk to the IT department there to see if that is the case.

    For Safari try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History).
    You could also try closing the two apps completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail '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 Mail and Safari apps to close them, 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
    It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
    My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

    If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
    If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.
