Trouble Installing Safari 3.2.1

When I download the 3.2.1 update, I keep getting a message that says there was an error installing, please try again. When I try again, I get the same message. I have tried downloading again and I keep having the same problem.

Oops. I guess I didn't explain myself very well. When I ran Software Update earlier today, it didn't say anything about needing to install the 2008-007 security update. I'm pretty sure I have already installed it since I try to keep up to date but I don't remember for certain. Is there some way I can tell for sure if I have already installed it? That is what I was trying to explain in my last post.

Trouble installing Safari 4.0.5 on OS 10.5.8

Trouble installing Safari 4.0.5 on OS 10.5.8
I downloaded an MP3 file and iTunes sad to upgrade QuickTime, which I did. Then it said to upgrade Safari to 4.0.3. I found my current OS would allow me to install 4.0.5, which I downloaded. When I tried to install Safari 4.0.5 (after agreeing to licensing) I keep getting told I cannot install Safari 4.0.5 because I need OS 10.4.11. This is on the Destination Selection section of installing. But I already run 10.5.8. Any suggestion to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Trouble installing safari 4

I recently downloaded iTunes 9, which requires Safari 4 to browse the store, but I find that I am unable to install Safari 4. I've tried it many times through software update or downloading the .dmg file, but the install always hangs while "configuring installation". Any tips? Also, if I can't manage to install Safari 4, is there any way I can get earlier versions of iTunes?

Seems to be time for a short lecture!
There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
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.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers 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 you have installed an OS update and 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.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
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:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Trouble Installing- Safari Webpage P?

I downloaded the trial of the cs6 design and web premium on my Macbook, and i have a student serial code to access the fully operable version. After I entered the serial number, it began installing again, but then stopped saying I had applications that needed closing, including something called Safari Webpage P. I closed everything except the installation software, but it still said I needed to close safari web page p. I even tried restarting my computer to ensure that all applications were closed, but it still says I need to close safari web page p. Anybody know what Safari Webpage P is and how to close it so I can continue with the installation? Thanks

Cannot install safari 4.0.3 on mac os x 10.6

hey i'm having trouble installing safari 4.0.3 so that i can use itunes 9. when i open the install package just before installation, it gives me a warning saying that i cannot install safari 4.0.3 because i need to run mac os x 10.5.8 even though i'm running snow leopard. called apple but they cannot help since my warranty expired 3 days ago. PLEASE HELP!!

I see,
If you right-click on the Quicktime app, and choose "Get Info" check to see if it's Version 10.0 if it is, its Quicktime X.
I just checked, and the final "Gold Master" developer build of Snow Leopard was 10A432 so you are using an older build, and I really think you should get the final release - otherwise you won't be able to run Software Update in the future, and you might run into problems with your version.

Trouble with Safari - it keeps shutting down - all because I tried to get rid of MacKeeper

trouble with Safari - it keeps shutting down - all because I tried to get rid of MacKeeper ad - after I install what I thought was an update since I already had MacKeeper, it would not allow me to continue without buying the new one. Make a long story short I switch to Firefox and deleted as much as I could of Safari (files, preferences etc) Now I'm at OS Yosemite X 10.10.2 and would like to get Safari up and running again - I've searched for Adware in applications etc but could not find it. Found what to do from the community, but before I go that route...Do I have to know where or if I actually have this spyware?    And if I were to reinstall Maveric - would my files and such be undisturbed? so that only Safari would be replaced?    I"M LOST .... (as if you couldn't tell)
I've been working with Mac for 30 years or more and although I'm hands on taught the only thing I lack is the newer "buzz words" so if you can help me out - please make it simple ?? thanks

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Trouble with Safari 6.0.5. Works for a few minutes then locks up in all tabs (wheel spinning). Chrome

Trouble with Safari 6.0.5. Works for a few minutes then locks up in all tabs (wheel spinning). Chrome & Firefox work fine. Using OSX 10.8.4. Wonder if I downloaded plugin causing this? Please help.

Yes, a plugin or an extension either one...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not a plug-in issue, select the Extensions tab. If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that made a difference, uninstall one at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the culprit.

I have redownloaded Pantha twice, hoping to redown load Safari but it doesn't work...this is the message I get...Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important resources. Try installing Safari again. This started when I did the software update this week. Can I delete the whole program of Safari and then just download Safari and still retrieve my bookmarks and other info without downloading the whole of Pantha.???

Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1. Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed

Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1. Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed. I've tried quitting Safari. Have not uninstalled currently Adobe as yet. How to fix?

Sorry, when I try to install Flash Player 17.0.0.134, it will begin initialing, then stop saying "Installation Failed" and to press "Finish". It then directs me to troubleshooting. I made sure I quit Safari as per their instructions, but have not gone as far as "uninstalling" my current Flash Player 16.0.0.305, because it looks like I will screw something up in the process.
Hope that information helps.

Having trouble installing CS5.5 on lion 10.7.3?

Are you having trouble installing CS5.5 on your mac (os lion 10.7.3)? Are you tired of receiving error reports (i recieved "exit code: 24" numerous times)? there is an easy way without hacking your mac into bits. start your comouter in security mode (hold down the shift key while your mac boots). Pop the CS5.5 Application 1 dvd into the drive and follow the instructions. no problems. no exit codes. no hassel. no swearwords. just an installation that works. why this is necessary is a mystery to me. but it works. after installing, don't forget to restart your mac in order to exit of security modus and return to normality;)
i hope this helps a few lost souls like me who have wasted hours of their time over the past couple of days. correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't updates suppose to make things work better?

Hi..
You can disable the Lion resume feature.
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect:   Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
As for Facebook, select "Keep me logged in" ..   even if the page refreshes, you should stay logged in.

Trouble installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on Macintosh

I have had repeated trouble installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) despite following every step listed in the Macintosh Installation Help guide: uninstalling previous versions, turning off anti-virus protection, etc. Each time I get a warning message for both Safari and Firefox attempted installations as follows: "Error: General installation error." The only solution seemed to be to reinstall an earlier version: 11.7.700.225.
Any suggestions?

If you're not comfortable with terminal commands:
Download the offline installer here (right click and "Save as")
Quit all browsers
Go to: MacHD/Library/Internet Plugins... and if the Flash Player.plugin is still there "trash it".
Then go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe and "trash" the Flash Player folder if it's still there.
Empty the trash.
Mount the DMG and run the installer
Relaunch Firefox and it should work

Trouble downloading Safari for Windows

Hi, I did move out from US, to Latin America. Since that, I had been trouble trying to download the Safari English version; but neither Apple support page nor CNET, Softonic, etc., files servers web sites, allow me to get the right version requested, instead I got always the Spanish version. Does somebody knows how to solve this matter?
Thanks

Doublechecking ... are you sure you want to install Safari for Windows? Apple stopped development on that quite a while ago. If you want to use a webkit-based browser, it might be safer to use Chrome, from a security standpoint.

Some general advice on updating:
