Sion of This version of Safari is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser. I have am iMac v. 10.6.8. What now?
Browser: Safari, v. 5.1.10 Problem: Gmail posts a message that the version of Safari I have is no longer supported and to upgrade to a supported browser. When I attempted to update/upgrade, my system says there are no new updates. What is the best browser to use? I'm new at this stuff and totally lost.
You need to either upgrade the computer's OS or switch to a browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
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.

I'll start by saying I;m not real computer smart. I need layman's terms.
I've been having issues completing transactions via Safari and based on the info I've gathered it has to do with my "no longer supported" version of Safari. I get a statement saying "This version of Safari is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser." I have an iMac 3.06 GHz processor with 4 GB memory with OS X v10.6.8.
I understand I need to upgrade my Safari V5.1.10 but how do I do that? When I click software update it says I'm updated. Every time I do a search for Safari updates I get info for OS X & Yosemite. However, I don't understand what exactly that is. Just want a version of Safari that works. Appreciate the patience of anyone that is willing to help.Hi
The version you using is not that old, but the upgrade is immediately required.
Here are few available options.
1) How to upgrade OS
http://www.apple.com/in/osx/how-to-upgrade/
2)
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
3) If you are working and used to using some older applications on your computer, updating to Yosemite will create so many problems. Some of your older applications will not work anymore and you will have to upgrade them too. This = $$$$ . Maybe it will be cheaper to buy a new computer
Install Google Chrome or Opera Browser for free.

i got a message in gmail "this version of Safari is no longer supported. Pls upgrade to a supported browser." When I click on 'supported browser' it takes me to Apple's Safari site but there is no 'upgrade now' button. What am I missing?
Google seem to have decided in the last week or so that Safari 5.x, which is the newest Safari version available for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is "not supported" any more, even though there are many reasons for staying with these OS X versions.
Try this (at your own risk, but it works for me), as it seems to remove the message by tricking Gmail into thinking your Safari version is newer:
-- Quit Safari
-- Locate the following file (location depends on your OS X version):
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/WebKit2.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.pl ist
OS X 10.5 Leopard and older:
/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist
-- Drag the file to your Mac's desktop to make a copy. Also make a safe copy somewhere else eg your Documents folder, as if you lose or mess up the file Safari will not launch at all. Having a backup browser is also recommended.
-- Double-click it to open it in TextEdit
-- Locate the CFBundleVersion value (the last line in the file that has numbers in it) and increment the second digit of it to the required version of Safari e.g. Safari 6 now seems to be the minimum version that Google support so change the second number from 5 to 6 (don't change anything else, only the change the second number). The value is different depending on your OS X version but as an example, for Snow Leopard 6534.59.10 becomes 6634.59.10
-- Drag the file back from the desktop to its original location, choose the option to replace the old version, and enter your password when prompted.
-- Run a permissions repair in Disk Utility to set the permissions in the file back to what they should be (not required, but good practice).
-- Launch Safari and test Gmail. -
I'm not very tech savvy so please type replies in very easy language.
I use safari as my browser. Just updated my Apple software for my macbook Mac OS X version 10.6.8 (whatever that means) This banner recently appeared. When I clicked to see what browsers were supported - well hey there was safari! and an odd note that said if your browser is mentioned here then you probably have "browser extensions" attached that are not reocgnised so basically - go deal with them and you will be fine.
After a bit of internet hunting found out what a browser extension is - only have one and it has been working fine until just now - deleted it anyway bit that action has made no difference so now stuck.
Any ideas anyone?Simplest way to test out new versions of Mac OSX is to partition your main hard drive so that you have an extra partition to install any new OS to for testing purposes.
For example I prefer to use through choice on my iMacs - OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and I have their HD's partitioned as follows...
1 TB HardDrive...
Partition 1: 150GB for OSX 10.6 + Applications
Partition 2: 150GB for OSX 10.6 + Applications back up
Partition 3: 100GB for Installing & testing new versions of Mac OS
Partition 4: 600GB for Storage of all data (Movies, Music, Pics etc...)
I've found this to be the best way to run a Mac for ease of use, easy & simple restoration & backup of your OS partition & for the simplest and quickest way for testing out new versions of Mac OS before you decide whether they are suitable and work for you.
It's also very handy for keeping a current backup of your OS available for when you install an update to some software only to find out it doesn't work or is bugged and you want to got back to your known working set up as it was before you installed the updated software (something that I find happens quite often with bug ridden software updates)...
With the above type of set up you can easily boot into your current set up or into a new OS for easy testing and restore things easily and quickly should anything go wrong. It's much faster than using external disks but of course you should always have a complete back up of your system & data on an external disk in case the built in one ever fails... (all of course backed up quickly and safely using CCC (CarbonCopyCloner)... :-) -
I get a message in my gmail account starting two weeks ago: "This version of Safari is no longer supported. Please upgrade to asupported browser." My updates are current with Safari 5.1.10, using OS 10.6.8. No system changes have been made near that time frame. My gmail account appears to be working normally at the present time. Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core duo w/ 2GB SDRAM. Help?
To move to Safari 6 you would have to install Lion or Mountain Lion. Perhaps try contacting Google/gmail about the issue and why they are not supporting your version of Safari.

You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, triple-click the following line of text to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Copy (command-C) the text to the Clipboard. Then select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar and paste (command-V) into the box that opens. A Finder window may open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If so, delete the selected folder.
Select Go to Folder again and enter:
/Library
From the folder that opens, delete the following items, if they exist. You may be prompted for your login password.
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
Close the folder. Now select Go to Folder one more time and enter:
/Applications/Toolbars
Delete that item. Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in. -
I am running an Apple imac G-5 with OS 10.5.8. Processor: 2 GHz. Memory: 2 GB DDR SDRAM. I am getting the message that my version of Safari is no longer working. I downloaded a newer version of Safari and I got the message that it would not work with my OS 10.5.8. Does any one have a suggest
Your post somehow found its way to a little-viewed forum for an obsolete Apple productivity program. I have asked the Hosts to move you to a more active and appropriate forum for your product.

How do I remove the pop up on log in We do not support community tool bar on this version of safari?
How do I remove the pop up message on Safari log in, we do not support this version of community tool bar ?
Your problem is with the Community Toolbar.
It's a terrible app/plugin that messes up Macs like the plague.
Did you ever install a customized toolbar? Like a Facebook one? Or for watching sports?
Here's how to search and destroy:
Close Safari.
Check here for CT Loader
Locate and delete:
HD/Library/Application Support/Conduit
HD/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
HD/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
HD/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
HD/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
HD/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
It may not be in every single location, but get it out where ever you find it.
Restart Safari. Any Better? -
not sure how to get back to an older version of safari. Apparently it can't take the new version. Any help would be great. Also i am not sure which version i had... Got it in '08 if that helps
I wasn't expecting more updates to be available. I thought it might stop the error message.
What Mac OS version are you running? You can find out by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu on the left side of the menu bar. -
About to back up iTunes to XHD. Have old version 10.6.3. Have been afraid to update with 40GB of music. Been digitizing vinyl. In this version, playlists export as m3u, which needs to be converted to MP3-Song by song??? Goal is to also be able to burn MP3 to flash drive and to XHD as usable data.
Help?? What do I do first? Could export as m3u-then figure it out later? Or will this data be unreadable junk in a new version of iTunes?
Does new version 11.whatever., have a provision to make all into MP3? Obviously past applecare contract.
Been looking at forums-not clear what to do.
Is there a simple way to convert/export m3u as MP3 in the newest version of iTunes? Am I asking the right questions???Hi printmistress888,

When I go to Yahoo mail it tells me I should upgrade to the latest version of Safari. When I go to apple to do the upgrade it says I am using the latest version.
What am I missing here?You can avoid using web based email for Yahoo.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information
Then click + to add your Yahoo account. -
Help welcomed. How can I upgrade Safari without upgrading to OS 10.5?
Safari let's you change your identity ( user agent string ) to anything. This is what the server thinks you are running. Want to be run Windows 7 IE8? No problem.
http://www.onedigitallife.com/2005/08/03/changing-safaris-user-agent/
Whether the pages looks good depends on the capabilities of the Browser.

history is sporadic
many files will not open
tells me server can't be found
one message HTTP status code 13030
help!
everything was fine with just Safari
(no offense, Firefox is what I use on work computer)If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. -
When I tried to open QuarkXpress job it informed me that this version is no longer valid?????
I tried to open a job in QuarkXpress that I created a few days ago.
A box came up with the following. "This version of QuarkXpress is no longer valid. Contact Quark for assistance." I have never seen this before. I am retired and just use Quark for home use. (Version 6.5). What do I have to do. (Mac OS X 10.5.8) Thanks. GeorgeHi all,
thank you for sending us validation codes. Unfortunately the validation codes also were fine, no time limit in them. So we need to search further to find the cause.
Recap: validation codes fine, no expiration dates. Software fine, no expiration date. No dependency on operating system. And working for some customers and not for others.
Our next steps are to remotely log into machines where this happens to see what's different on those computers (where QuarkXPress 6 doesn't work anymore) to the ones where QuarkXPress 6 is running fine.
Will keep you updates about the progress.
Thanks
