This is for Apple - Please Answer - Safari issues

First - is OS 10.7.5 srtill supported?
-- Silly question, I think not.
Then, if it is, why is it so impossible to find a Safari installer for 10.7.5 NOT tied to having to go through hoops reinstalling 10.7 or 10.7.1 to get the 10.7.2 Combo updater that has a Safari version in it?
-- Yes, I even went through Apple Support, they could not find anything separate.
Also, since MS got in trouble for having Explorer so linked into their OS, why is Safari so linked into Apple's OS - both 10.7 and 10.8?
-- Try removing the Safari browser from the Applications folder.
Is Safari 6.0.n so tied to OS 10.8.n that is cannot run in 10.7.5?
-- A Safari v6 was actually provided ONCE to install in 10.7.n. Now it has gone on sabattical.
Just where IS the Safari 5.1.7 installer?
-- If this is the only version allowed for 10.7.n, then why is it wherever Safari v6 is?
If we have problems with the installed Safari version and need to reinstall, we cannot. At least not very easily.
If there has been some POLICY change, please issue a policy statement so we can understand what is going on. All of this is so un-Apple like it hurts.
Do I want to use Firefox, Chrome or some other browser. No, not really. But at least I can find the installers for those programs without having a security clearance.

First, no offense was meant to Chris, but given my level of frustration that has been ongoing now for some time...

That was in the OP.
Yesterday's Software Update for Lion had nothing for Safari. Yet a new version was included with the one for Mountian Lion. I found that rather disconcerting and interesting. The last 4 Software Updates for Lion did not contain anything Safari.
And I am sorry, if Chris had covered the subject I would have thanked him and been done, but Apple has made it so frustrating. I have searched the internet for any Safari 5.1.7 or Safari 6.0.n installers. All hits were dead ends. Also very curious. This was done before I contacted Apple Support.
Your comment about feedback was a help. At least things are expanded there now that I could leave some feedback about the issue, specifically for Safari.
Thank you for that.

    Notes :- I have  all the document    ( invoice and box  for this phone )which say that I phone for me .
    I hope to get any answer from  your good site other whys this phone will be useless for me   
    Thanks .

    If you can't remember your apple id or password then sadly that phone has been bricked, without that infomation te activation lock cannot be removed by apple or anyone else.

  • HT1551 Can apple please answer the persistent question on why Hulu services, personal video via airplay, Netflix, suddenly stops working, and yet all along it has been working well on Apple TV? This is in contrast to YouTube, which is working without a fl

    Hulu, Netflix and my personal videos have been working fairly well on appletv. Suddenly, without warning, they have all failed. My subscription via my apple ID is on automatic renewal, so the issue of non-paid services does not arise. On the other hand, YouTube is working perfectly well on appleTV.
    Several solutions offered in the discussion group such as setting the appletv on sleep mode are not technical solutions. Rather, these solutions offered remind me of analogue age, when one had to hit the side of a TV set when reception failed.
    In my case, I am using the same HD TV set that has been working all along. A new cable has failed, but if I am told to pay for an advice related to a fault that is not mine, I would rather buy a set box that is void of appletv or apple.
    Apple please give a clear, well defined technical solution on the problem with your device, and to be specific on the following error:
    "This content requires HDCP for playback"
    I know what HDCP is, and one cannot say that this is related to a dynamic code that evolves with time, failing at a time of its convinience.

    It is considered rude to double post on a fourm.

  • Apple, please fix safari random crash and tab auto refresh

    Apple, are those issues ever going to get fixed? They destroyed iOS 7's usability and the latest 7.1 beta doesnt seem to address either.
    1) Safari randomly crashes -  happens multiple times a day. Sometimes opening new pages, sometimes scrolling through existing page.  This issue has NEVER happened on iOS 6.
    2) Tabs auto refreshing when you switch from 1 tab to the next - it is EXTREMELY annoying, for example when i was typing up a post in a tab or looking at the result of a long search, then need to lookup something else so i open up a new tab, then when I go back to the original tab, it automatically refreshes wiping out everything i just typed or the searh result.  This issue has NEVER happened in iOS 6.
    I am using ipad air with the latest update. Please fix them, it's unacceptable.

  • Is this a new Apple? Macbook Pro issues - Data recovery.

    I am a long time supporter of Apple (20 some odd years) but things seem different now and I am not talking about the "think different" from the old ad campaigns. Apple is a part of every aspect of my life with my personal machines and gadgets to the 50 some odd machines we use at work. One personal machine is a bad apple.
    I have a Macbook Pro that has had issues since day one. I received it from Apple and there was a dent in the corner of the case. I immediately took it to the store and was told that they do not ship damaged equipment and that it would take 3 week to get a new machine. The machine worked and it seemed to be only a cosmetic issue. I was fine with it - I guess this was my mistake. The folks in the store documented the problem and sent me on my merry way. It was bought at the same time as my wife's machine - a regular black macbook (i tell you this because it is confused within the mix).
    Since that time, I have called on 6 occasions about the MPB, from bluetooth errors, wouldnt wake from sleep, long start up times, firewire issues and now the hard drive has disappeared. All these occasions, I was calling to document the issues and make sure I had the correct fix and on the last call (before the HD failure) I was told that would extend my warranty due to my issues.
    Now I am having the hard drive issue and have discussed this thing with 6 people and everyone is telling me a different story. Some say they can fix it... Some say they cannot... The store said that they would replace the whole machine yesterday but I needed to call the phone support folks and today the store geniuses want me to pay for a new hard drive and the install loosing all the info on the drive. This decision was changed in the store to replacing the drive and giving me the old drive to recover the data. In store today I was told that Apple does not ship damaged equipment... That is cool and out of all the machines that I have bought - I would have to agree - this one was and This MPB is an exception to the rule. Today I was also told that my calls were made on my wife's macbook and I could replace that machine which has never had an issue - I am typing on it right now. There was a clerical issue somewhere. To top all this off all my documenting of the pro's issues were said to be under this wife's machine and I was told that I have only called twice. Basically - I was called a liar.
    This machine is an exception to the rule and I will say with my 20 years of interaction with Apple, This case is an exception as well. I hope that it is not the future of the "consumer driven" Apple. I guess I am just out a couple of grand for equipment and time and a whole slew of code if I cannot get my data back. And it this experience has slightly tarnished my view of a great company.
    Anyone know some great data recovery folks in the Atlanta Area?

    Hi red dirt studio,
    Out of curiosity, any particular reason you didn't secure a proper backup for your machine. Especially because it sounds like a rather important machine (work related perhaps?) and the data on it is also of equal importance. I know in Sacramento there are a few data recovery places that start @ $500 after a $100 diagnostic/consultation.
    I realize, however, hindsight is 20/20. It always is... especially when it comes to data recovery.
    Calling into AppleCare and reporting an issue does not extend your one-year limited warranty, nor does it extend your AppleCare coverage (if you purchased it for the unit). So whoever told you that over the phone needs to recheck their training material and refresh the Terms & Conditions of the agreement. No where on the pages contained within (http://images.apple.com/legal/applecare/docs/AppleCareProtect_Plan_NAen.pdf) does it make mention or stake claim to that "exception."
    Now, having worked in AppleCare (California offices) for several years I can attest that the one exception that Apple will honor is: "Documented in Warranty/Repeat Repair." Even prior to working for Apple, I had a machine covered after the 3 year AppleCare expired because the unit had been serviced under the scope of coverage for an issue that was now occurring again. Apple made it right and fixed the machine, granting me another 90 day coverage extension as result of the repair. To my knowledge that "grace period" after the warranty/AppleCare expires is 90 days from last repair of expiration of coverage window. Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty confident on that number.
    Regarding your issue, you need to reach out to AppleCare over the phone and attempt to get some clarification. A phone call always starts off with one of two things: (1) a SN# for the product, or (2) a case number. If you were supplying a SN# for your MacBook Pro and the phone agent accidentally logged it under another product then that's not something you should be punished for and now held financially responsible to resolve on your own. Again, though, that's something you need to take up with AppleCare.
    You also indicated that the store wants to charge you for the HD replacement. So perhaps that answers my earlier question if the unit had AppleCare. I take it the unit does not? If it does, why are you paying to replace a defective HD?
    Lastly... I'll agree that Apple doesn't "package, process and ship" damaged equipment from their facilities in China. But that doesn't mean it won't arrived unharmed. There's a lot that can happen between when the box is sealed and then opened by the consumer.

  • Anyone that works for Apple, please read this

    I have a brilliant suggestion and didn't know where to post it but here it is.
    I work at a pharmacy. The program we are currently using is called PDX Pharmacy. I'll be honest with you, it *****. It takes a million steps to complete one simple task. My main issue is clearly this program's user interface. We use this program on a daily basis and it is used on our windows based PCs. This program is what prints out the information for our prescription labels. I hate it so much. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that Apple is known for their outstanding graphical user interface and I know that you geniuses over there in Cupertino can come up with some great stuff. Please hear me out on this: make me a pharmacy prescription filling program for the family owned pharmacy that I work for!
    Thanks for listening to me complain.

  • [Apple please answer this] Does iOS5 break the bluetooth functionality?

    Here is some background to my question...
    I have my new iPhone 4S, which can not recognize my Honda accord hands free system and also does not recognize any phones in it's proximity. The displays shows that it is "Searching...". I assume this is not at all a problem with iPhone 4S hardware as all of my friends have the same phone and they have no issues using bluetooth.
    Then I have another iPhone 3GS, which I have recently upgraded to iOS 5, but never tested bluetooth functionality after the upgrade. I am certain that it worked before as I had it paired with Honda accord and also it used recognize my wife's Sony phone. This leads me to believe that it is not a harware problem but something to do with software.
    I have seen enough posts on this forum regarding similar problems... but never answered. I am looking for an answer from anyone who has similar problem and fixed it.
    Cheers
    Satheesh

    Last night, I have updated my iPad2 to iOS5 and it has no problems with bluetooth finding the other phones in it's proximity like my wife's Sony Ericsson but not my iPhone 4S and 3GS. It sure looks like a software issue on both the iPhones. I did not get a chance to go to the Apple store yet..going there over this weekend.
    Adding to Tanya's comments, I only see the bluetooth icon at the top of the screen only when I am in the bluetooth screen.
    Cheers

  • After changing my primary email for Apple ID, iCloud has issues

    I recently changed my apple ID primary email address as the old email address is not obsolete which meant I had to turn off iCloud on all devices and log back in so that the username/email was correct for password verification. Now that I have done this, iCal has 7 calendars, reminders has about 4-5 reminders lists and contacts has about 500+ blank contacts.
    When I go to delete these extra calendars, reminders and contacts. They delete but within a few seconds they reappear. I've rebooted, I've tried deleting them through icloud.com and also directly from each device. I have 3 devices using icloud. I have turned off 2 of them at a time and tried deleting from the remaining device.
    Has anyone got a solution please?!!?? Starting to get frustrating.

    The contacts part of my post above has been resolved. I don't think it was related. I am still unfortunately stuck with additional reminders lists and calendars that do not stay deleted.

  • URGENT Check this code for me please

    Dear whoeverthisreads, please read and see at the bottom my sourcecode, or whatever I could make of it until (even with help) I failed to see any solution. Please copy, paste and run to see if you can manage to adjust the program to make it work in the way as described. And I think I made it unnecessarily complicated. Whatever you can do for me, I will be very, very grateful.

    Catalogue Manager
    Specification:
    a) Develop an object to represent to encapsulate an item in a catalogue. Each CatalogueItem has three pieces of information: an alphanumeric catalogue code, a name, and a price (in dollars and cents), that excludes sales tax. The object should also be able to report the price, inclusive of a 15% sales tax, and the taxed component of the price.
    b) Work out a way to be able to support the inc tax/ex tax price accessors, and the tax component accessor, without needing to store any additional information in the object.
    c) Use an array of 5 CatalogueItem items to store data. (You may assume that no imported goods will be recorded.)
    d) Write a driver program that prompts for three sets of user input (catalogue number, description and price), to be stored in the atalogueItem instance.
    e) The data are to be read for each item in a single line. The data lines will be in the format:
    CatNo:Description:Price
    Use a StringTokenizer object to separate these data lines into their components.
    f) Review the class definition of CatalogueItem, and use modifiers where appropriate to:
    � Ensure that data is properly protected;
    � Ensure that the accessors and mutators are most visible;
    � The accessors and mutators for the catalogue number and description cannot be overridden.
    � The constant for the tax rate is publicly accessible, and does not need an instance of the class
    present in order to be accessible.
    As well as a summary, the program should also calculate and display:
    � All of the cheapest and most expensive item(s) in the catalogue. In the case of more than one
    item being the cheapest (or most expensive), they should all be listed.
    � A total of the pre-tax worth of the goods in the catalogue.
    � The average amount of tax on the items in the catalogue.
    A sample execution of the program may be as follows (output should be tabulated):
    Enter five items of data:
    AA123: Telephone: 52.00
    ZJ282: Pine Table: 98.00
    BA023: Headphones: 23.00
