How to Uninstall a Plugin in Safari for Windows?

Hi,
Im using Safari 4.0.3 on Windows XP and can view my installed plugins through Help>Installed Plug-ins, but how do I uninstall plug-ins?
I know that on the Mac they are stored in specific folders but I dont know how it works in Windows. How do I uninstall Safari plugins in Windows?
Thanks,
Dan1ell

I am also trying to do this. I am trying to remove the Flash plugin from Safari for Windows. Anybody know how to do this?
Or, is there a Flash blocker for the Windows version of Safari? That would work, too.

Does Mozilla's Plugin Checker not read Safari plugins correctly? My Plugins are all up to date and it still says "update."

Shockwave Flash
Shockwave Flash 10.3 r181 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.
Shockwave for Director
Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.6.0 — from file “DirectorShockwave.plugin”.
I'm wondering if it is how Safari does not list the entire version in it's plugin page, such as 11.6.0 instead of 11.6.0.r.626.
Also I have Looked in the plugins file for Safari and turned on the extension to show invisible extensions and it shows this:
DirectorShockwave.plugin 11.6.0r626
Flash Player.plugin 10.3 r181.34
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled just to see if that was the problem.

When you run the plugin check, you should get a column with the full version number (here's Flash, for example, in the attached screen shot).
As for finding Safari plugins, I don't know how it works on MacOS; on Windows, Firefox will scan certain locations outside of its folders to pick up plugins that are not Firefox-specific. The plugin checker then will use the information that Firefox has gathered.

HELP TO UNINSTALL SAFARI 4

As a lot of others users, as i've seen before, i've got troubles with Safari 4 on my G5. Safari 3 was working pretty well on it.

If you don't, do you know were to reach by mail Apple assistance because they are the source of the trouble ?
In all case thanks and happy new year from Avignon - South of France
BONNE ANNEE 2010 !!!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Instead of trying to uninstall Safari, you didn't mention any trouble shooting you may have tried. Try these tips and see if it makes a difference.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
*Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.*
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
If Safari still crashes, go to the Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.
If nothing above helps, download and install the 10.4.11 combo update available here.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
Make sure the start up disk has enough free disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
Check the startup disk for errors that might need repairing.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart

Uninstall Safari 4.1 and go back to 4.0

I think I need some help , I want to uninstall Safari 4.1 and install Safari 4.0.

You could try another method of reverting to an older version
of Safari, short of an 'archive & install + update' of 10.4.11.
A second method involves using Pacifist utility from Charlessoft.
This would run adequately in Demo mode, for free, and work:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Some ideas on that, are among the topics in this page:
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/07/troubleshooting-safari-5-0-eliminating-slowness- crashing-page-loading-problems-and-more/#downgrade
The details (versions involved) is different in the above page,
but the factors and methods would be similar to do the job.
I've reverted iTunes and a few other apps before, but some of
them need to have files or receipt/packages removed from a
place they may be hiding in the system, for to install again;
but with an integrated browser such a Safari, that may be hard.
But not impossible. And, there is the Archive & Install (+ update)
method; to give you a new system folder. If you approach that
carefully, the new folder/system would retain your current info.
Since my primary browser is not Safari, I often upgrade it last
among others, since installing that restarts my computer(s)
often at a time when I am not needing to restart them, yet.
{My Macs run for a month or more at a time; without shutdown.}
+What are the problems, exactly, you are having with Safari 4.1+
+and what have you tried to fix them, short of revert/remove it?+
If you have Safari set as the default browser, you can change it
and run with something else; maybe Camino, until you sort it out.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do you uninstall safari 5.1 and go back to 5.05

How do you uninstall safari 5.1 and g back to safari 5.05

Rather than fiddle with the tar file, if it wasn't saved, or using Pacifist, simply DL and install the
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. It'll wipe all Safari 5.1 components and install Safari 5.0.5.

How to uninstall Safari 4.0.3

I've been getting a lot of problems with the newly updated Safari... hanging pages (on facebook, onion and etc... all you get is a turning wheel, no crash windows, have to force quite and start again, the second time always works). And it also generating those .aspx files. And, on top of it, it is very slow. This has been the worst user experience I had with anything related to Mac...
I tried many suggestions I saw on this site... reset Safari included... nothing worked. I'd like to get rid of this version. Is there a good/right way to uninstall Safari?
Thanks.

Safari 4.0.3 works fine on Tiger; I'm running it and I have no problems. The problems you have are system issues: things that should have been done on a regular basis and certainly before installing any new software, but haven't been, so that is where the problems lie. Here are some things you can do to help yourself:
1. Quit Safari if it's running.
2. Go to System Preferences > Network > TCP/IP and in the DNS Server window, enter these two servers instead of the ones from your ISP:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
click Apply Now, and quit System Preferences.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
5. If you want to +*completely disable*+ the Top Sites (and Cover Flow) feature, open Terminal and copy/paste this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
8. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Disk Permissions and restart Safari. That should improve your browsing speed and resolve your other issues.

The Silverlight plugin crashes every time i try to watch a video at the Universal Sports website. I have uninstalled this plugin and re-enstalled it many times with no success

The Silverlight plugin crashes every time i try to watch a video at the Universal Sports website. I have uninstalled this plugin and re-enstalled it many times with no success

It doesn't matter what I do I still get the plugin to crash. I've removed every trace of Internet Explorer in the registry. Download fresh versions of Mozilla and Silverlight. I uninstalled both of them and cleaned any lingering files. Reinstalled Mozilla, and Silverlight. Same error. No more movies for me. :>/ See entry below.

Can't open or uninstall Safari 5

I downloaded Safari a while back when offered along with an update notice for iTunes which I use for my iPod but never really used Safari. I rececntly bought an iPhone and wanted to use Safari on my PC.
I could not open it: got this error message: Safari Entry Point not Found - the procedure entry point CFPropertyListCreateWithData could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreFoundation.dll.
So I thought I would uninstall Safari and reinstall but got the following error message: Could Not Open Key - HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\Webkit.CFDictionaryPropertyBag\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnal.
Any suggestions on how to get Safari up and running? I'm only ata basic level technically.

The launch error looks like you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support dll. But the way I go about fixing that involves an uninstall of both AAS and Safari. So we'd better try fixing that Key error first (even if it's unrelated to the apparently-AAS-related launch error).
So I thought I would uninstall Safari and reinstall but got the following error message: Could Not Open Key - HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\Webkit.CFDictionaryPropertyBag\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnal.
We'd better have a look at the permissions on the Key.
In your Start menu, click "Run", type regedit and hit enter.
Expand HKEYLOCALMACHINE
Expand Software
Expand Classes
Expand Webkit.CFDictionaryPropertyBag
Right-click on CLSID. What permissions are currently showing for your user account name, the administrators group, and the SYSTEM account?
(Not sure what precisely you're supposed to see in there because I don't have that particular key in my registry.)

i accidently uninstalled safari on my mac osx 10.6, how can i get it back reinstalled

you can download it here:
http://support.apple.com/de_DE/downloads/#safari%20for%20Snow%20Leopard
or any Apple support downloads page, look for Safari 5.1.5
NB: I suggest you also update SL with the Combo update to 10.6.8 (if you did not update it already).

How to install Safari Plugin?

I downloaded a Safari plugin called XML View Plugin.webplugin and have
no idea where it should be placed to work in Safari 5.
It did not come with an installer and I have not found Safari Plugin folder.

Hi Meera
safari from 10.7 on doesn't support webplugin types, if that's what you're using
you might look for a suitable extension
or a more up to date plug-in

How do i uninstall safari 4 and then reinstall 3.2.1?

Simply run the uninstaller that came with the Safari 4 disk image. It will uninstall Safari 4 and restore Safari 3.2.1. There were only two files on the Safari 4 disk image, the installer and the uninstaller. Did you not notice it?
If you deleted the disk image you need to download it again and run the unistaller.

How do I uninstall Safari 4?

I need to uninstall Safari 4 and reload Safari 3.
Mail has stopped working the moment it was installed.
This is in a work environment, where we connect to an Exchange Server.
When I installed Safari 4 Beta I had to uninstall it because it would make Mail crash.
Apple did supply an uninstall app with the Beta version – does anyone have this or know where I can get it? Or if they have one for the full version?
We don't have Time Machines at work because I work in a bank and we don't encourage external hard drives!

I have a theory this is an incompatibility with Safari 4 on PowerPC machines (not intel) running Leopard.
No, my Powerbook G4 running Leopard 10.5.7 is absolutely flying with Safari 4.0.2 and I know a couple of other people with G4s and G5s running Leopard and having no issues whatever with Safari 4.
I have tested running on firefox, it crashes as well. I read the crash logs and found that it is complaining about the java. I believe that the java version that comes with the Safari 4 is the culprit
Safari updates and Java Updates are completely separate. There was a Java update released after Safari 4. Have you installed that yet? I have and am not having Java issues with any sites, secure or not.
Cheers

How do I uninstall safari 4 beta?

I am a new mac user so any help would be appreciated. I have a new macbook. I downloaded and installed safari 4 beta and don't like the problems it causes. I can't access hotmail. I can get in but can't open any of the emails. I also can't click and open links in emails. I want to uninstall safari beta 4 but don't know how. I'd like to go back to the previous version. Any help would be appreciated and remember I'm a newbie mac user so be gentle!

That would normally work if there was a previous version installed. However, I deleted all my previous versions and the Uninstaller will not uninstall Safari since it can't find a previous version. I downloaded an earlier version 3.2.3 but it tells me that I have a later version installed and won't install 3.2.3. Furthermore, whatever version I bring up has concierge in its header line which I can't get rid of either. Finally, Safari continues to crash even after I reset it, delete whatever concierge items I can find on my computer, etc. Help is disparately needed. Fortunately, I am an old Firefox user, and now trying Camino and Opera but I would like help in figuring out how to use Safari. Thanks.
