Unable to install Safari 3.2 on 10.5.5

I have successfully installed Safari 3.2 onto my G4 Mac mini running OS 10.5.5, via Software Update. Software Update on my MacBook reports no updates available. I downloaded Safari 3.2 from Apple's download site and attempted to install. I get the following error message.
I ran Disk Utility and repair permissions ( it found nothing ). I have no Input Managers. I called Apple tech support. They had me create a new account and try installing from there. Same results. They had me download and install a Security Update ( 2008-007 ) despite the fact that the MacBook has had ALL updates applied ( until now ). The last suggestion was to do an Archive install of the OS.
Anyone have any other ideas beside doing that?

Khurt... in another thread, you asked:
What do you have to say for users who have no haxies etc installed on Safari?
Did you install Safari 4 Preview at some point in the past? I am guessing that you did.
If you did, see the thread below on how to fix the problem...

  • Unable to install safari 1.2

    Hi,
    I am very new to iMAC, and got it recently
    At the moment i have Internet Explorer 5.1, with that i can not see many webs, like www.mai.yahoo.com, www.msn.com
    For the google mail, i am able to login, but in the mail box i can not see all labels in the mail box.
    I thought the problem with the browser version, then my friend suggested me to install firefox or safari.
    Then I tried to install safari 1.2 on my machine, but it is giving following error messages.
    Image Name: Safari 1.2.dmg
    Image Format: UDIF read-only
    Checksum: CRC32 $FBA8DCB7 INVALID
    Unable to verify "Safari-1.2.dmg"
    Then i tried to install firefox, again i am getting mostly similar message, but the only difference is in the checksum code.
    Would you please help me to install safari?
    Is there any relation between the browser version and getting access to websistes?
    Many thanks indeed inadvance for your help.
    Srikanth

    Hi Srikanth,
    I'm afraid your version of OS X is too old for Safari and most modern browsers. The earliest version of OS X Safari can be run on is 10.2.x.
    You could try OmniWeb which was the original browser available for OS X. (Note the download link for the old version is towards the end of that page, not the one at the top of the page.)
    Sorry it's not better news.

  • Unable to install Safari 5: "not a valid short file name" error

    Hi all,
    Previous thread has been archived, but I thought I'd post an update on this issue, since we finally solved it!
    To recap, I was getting an error on trying to install Safari which said "<username> is not a valid short file name", and the installation would fail. If installing under an admin username with a shorter name, the installation would succeed, but the same error message would occur for the original user when trying to launch Safari, during the initial configuration process. The problem also plagued some other installation processes, including (for example) Adobe Acrobat updates.
    The problem turned out to be related to our redirection of user's profiles (My Documents, Application Settings etc.) to a fileserver. These are pointed to a file share named users on each office's primary file server, and this works fine for most purposes. However, we did not allow users read access to the "users" folder on the server in which their individual user directories were located (this was so users could not browse a list of employee names in this folder). This turned out to be causing the problem; by allowing read access to the folder, all the issues where cleared up.
    Anyway, I hope this helps anyone else who may have experienced the same problem!

    Excellent news, lab.
    Many thanks for letting us know the resolution.

    Appreciate your help.

  • Can I install Safari 1.2 on OS X 10.3?

    I am using a G4 PowerBook3,5 with OS X 10.3 and got the unhelpful message "Unable to install Safari 1.2 on this computer".
    There was no other explanation.
    According to the Safari download page, I should be able to install 1.2.
    Any ideas?
    Jolyon

    Thanks for replying, sorry about the delay.
    The operating system is just 10.3, no extra suffixes.
    The version of Safari I am using is 1.1 and I am having some problems with some javascript on some web-sites, mostly with drop-down menus. This is not a life and death situation, merely a nuisance.
    I think I will update the operating system and see if that helps. How far can I safely update the OS on this machine, which is now a few years old?
    Jolyon
    Hi Jolyon,
    Technically yes, you should be able to. What
    particular version of OS X are you running? 10.3.1,
    10.3.2, etc? You can check via the Apple icon in the
    top left of the screen -> About this Mac.
    If you installed a later version of Safari onto your
    machine at some point in the past, you will have some
    more recent WebKit files installed (these files
    contain the code that draws the webpage for Safari
    and Mail.app) and the installer checks to see the
    version of these too. If they are more recent than
    the installer then it won't procede.
    Before going any further, can you clarify if you
    already have another version of Safari installed or
    not, and why are you trying to install version 1.2?
    If we know the full picture we'll be able to offer
    more specific help.

  • Can't install Safari...

    I am unable to install Safari. Double clicking the installer does not load anything. Task Manager shows no process running. Re-downloaded the installer, nada. Reboot computer, nada.
    I even tried using Software Update to install Safari...when selecting Safari it says "Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually." Upon attempting this it immediately says "Safari 4 has an invalid signature. The download has been removed."
    - I currently do not have Safari installed (it was at one point months ago).
    - The apple updates folder is empty
    - Windows XP Pro. I am thinking there is some trace of a corrupt file/config somewhere.
    - Safari is not listed in Add/Remove programs
    Thoughts? Thanks.

    Bump.

  • 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).

  • Unable to install adobe flashplayer on mac 10.9.2

    Hi I recently upgraded to 10.9.2 and I am unable to install Adobe Flashplayer on Safari.  I've done an uninstall and downloaded and tried to reinstall but it hangs a little more than halfway.  All I get is an error message saying there's an error - no specifics.
    Any help here please?  Thanks in advance!

    Are you trying to install this: Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77?
    I would suggest doing the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Try installing Flash again.
