Suggested procedure for safe updating of Safari to v. 3.2

If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have):
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Safari 3.2 for download can be found here:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the standard procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now both Tiger and Leopard uses Safari 3.2. If Safari 3.2 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as Safari 3.x uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back in a new thread for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.2.
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to 2008-007, which is required for Safari 3.2. Like all security updates, these require a restart and a permission repair. Note that 2008-007 is a combo update: if you have missed a couple of updates this one will suffice.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
• Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Please do not respond to this post if you are having difficulties, or ask your questions in somebody else's thread, but start your own thread where your particular problem can get the full attention it deserves.

Bump.
Upgrading PithHelmet stopped my crashing.

  • Procedure for filing/updating TDS returns(certificates/challans)

    Hi All,
    As far as TDS configuration is concerned, I need the info on the process on how to file the TDS returns are concerned, updating the challans etc.
    The steps that I've configured are: withholding tax types, codes, rounding off etc all such steps which are enabling me to get the TDS deducted for each vendor in J1INMIS, however I'm encountering problems in certificate number ranges and I'm getting confused.
    Plz suggest in going about for being able to get the report  on total TDS deducted and updating the certificates
    regards
    kim

    Dear Venkatesh,
    Thank you for replying.
    I did maintain as you had suggested to me. Now I'm facing a new problem.
    The bold text is exactly, what I've copied from the system's error message and pasted it across here.
    No unpaid tax lines exist for the given selection criteria.
    Message no. 8I702
    Diagnosis
    The corresponding withholding tax line  &1& is not present in WITH_ITEM table.
    System Response
    For withholding tax recovered from the vendor, tax line is present in table BSIS, but the corresponding entry is missing in table WITH_ITEM , which is necessary for challan updation. Check the entries.
    Procedure
    check entries in table WITH_ITEM for the open tax items chosen for clearing.
    Now, I dont have a clue to go further from here. Plz suggest, if there's something else for me to go ahead with.
    I appreciate you for your answer coz that's taken me a step further is what I feel.
    I'm sorry I've assigned only 2 points, coz I've used up the max llimit of being able to assign 6 points, If my problem is solved, I'll make it sure I'll assign 10 points
    thnx once again

    Why you have to pass 14 parameters for DELETE and UPDATE? Do you have any Primary Key?  If you do NOT have primary key in your table then in case you have duplicate information, SQL will update both or delete them together. You need to provide DDL of
    you table. What are the data types of fields?

  • Using stored procedures for insert, update and delete

    Hello all;
    We have a question from our customer (who is the DBA), who has not in the past used TopLink, about whether it makes sense to tie TopLink into existing stored procedures to save and retrieve informations.
    Is it possible?
    Is there any circumstance under which it is a good idea?
    Thanks

    In TopLink any operation for which TopLink generates SQL, can be replaced by custom SQL, or a stored procedure call.
    Custom SQL or stored procedures can be used for each of the descriptor's CRUD operations, but also for mapping queries and named queries. The Mapping Workbench only supports defining custom SQL for the descriptor CRUD operations and named queries, so many of the stored procedures call from the descriptor and mappings will need to be done through amendment methods.
    Whether it makes sense or not depends on the application and the company and their requirements. It will add significant overhead to the development process to have to define and maintain all of the stored procedures, and the stored procedure calls in the descriptors. You may wish develop your application using TopLink generated SQL, and once you have the model and queries stabilized then switch to using stored procedures.
    Whether it is a good idea depends on the application and the company and their requirements. Stored procedures may give the DBA more freedom to change the data-model once in production, and may allow for adding database-level security checks. In general using stored procedures will not improve performance if the procedures contain the same SQL that would have be executed anyway, but they may allow for the DBA to tune the SQL better.

  • How to opt out of Apple Software Update's Safari installation

    I do not have Safari installed on my computer, and I have no interest in installing it or switching to it. However, the Apple Software Updater displays Safari as a selected option every time it runs. I can unselect the option to install Safari, but I don't see any way to remove Safari from the list entirely so that Software Update doesn't keep pestering me about installing Safari every few days. Surely there must be some way to opt out of installing Safari short of uninstalling Software Update and never using it again?

    That answer really does not deserve a "solved" star, as we get nagged again for every update of Safari. The ignore "trick" is IMHO merely an inadequate workaround for a nuisance that should not exist.
    ASU should UPDATE not shove software I or rather, my userbase does not have installed, down our throats.
    Apple should at least have the decency to NOT have Safari Pre-checked in ASU. Yes, M$ has new software in Wondows Update as well (e.g. Silverlight), but at least it's an opt-in update, while Apple force-feeds us Safari which I find beyond annoying.
    If M$ would do the same with the next version if IE on Macs, Mac users would scream so loud you would be able to hear it on the ISS.

  • Block with more than one table type agurment -  Update Procedure for Block

    Hi,
    I have one form with 3 Block. First Block is single row block, and other 2 are details block . The details balocks are based on the Procedure datasource, because of the complex query conditions. Now my requirement is When Inserting / Updating the Master Block (Single Row Block), I need to get the values in the two details block , because I need to update some other tables also based on these values. I created a procedure with two Table Type parameters (for each details block) , but when I using this procedure as the Update Procedure Name in the block, I am getting the error Only One table type arguement is allowed. Is there any other method to implement this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Rizly,
    A quick summary to make sure I understand your requirements. You have a single row base table master block with two detail blocks that are based on Procedures. When you update the single row base table master block, you need all of the data in the two procedure based detail blocks as there are updates that you have to perform to other tables that use this data. You have created a stored procedure that take two PL/SQL tables as parameters, but you are getting the error that only 1 table parameter is allowed.
    I need to ask you a few questions first. What is your Forms version? The stored procedure you created; are you using this procedure in the "On-Insert, On-Update, On-Delete" triggers or do you call the procedure in one of the Base Table block ("Key-Commit, When-Button-Pressed" or other trigger)? When you modify or add a new Master block record are you adding values to the detail blocks or using values from the previous Master block record?
    If you are using your procedure in the On-Insert, On-Update or On-Delete trigger(s), then based on your description, the error you are receiving is correct. The "On-..." triggers are constrained in that their procedures expect only a single PL/SQL table, Table of Records or Ref Cursor as a parameter. This is a Forms constraint - not a PL/SQL constraint as Forms is expecting you to only perform actions on the block where the "On-..." Trigger is located.
    Perhaps you should consider creating a database Package that has two package specification constructs (Ref Cursor, Table of Records, etc) you can populate from Forms and then simply call the package procedure that will use the Ref Cursors to perform the needed update or inserts.
    Hope this helps.

    no, just update your content and recreate the Single Edition App. Your certificate should still be valid so there is not need to recreate these.
    ... your App ID absolutely need to be the exact same one you used for the first version if you want to make sure this is an update.
