Updated Safari and now it's locked

My browser kept telling me I was using an outdated version of safari so I finally updated it.  Only to find out that my operating system doesn't support the newest version.  Now the icon is grayed out and locked.  I searched out to fix this but it was recommended I reinstall my operating system.  Won't that make me lose everything saved!?!?  I'm starting to get annoyed.  HELP!!

Hi. if you don't want to reinstall your operating system. and have another browser you can use. Go to apple/support/downloads/browse by product and type in safari 5.1 or 5.1.9 That is the newest safari that will run on your  operating system.

  • I am using 10.8.2. I updated Safari and now I can't get it to open a url.

    I am using a DSL line and have been having trouble with my service.  Besides updating Safari,I bought a new Netgear N300 Wireless modem/router and now Safari does not work.  I really don't know if its the update or the new router/modem causing the problem.  I quit it shut down the computer, restarted and opened Safari and nothing happened. I emptied the cache. I also had to change the settings to allow the new modem to install and can't remember how to get back to change it to the way it was.  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. I am able to use Firefox.

  • Updated Phone and now it is locked

    I have an old 2g that I gave to my daughter for an ipod when I upgraded to a newer phone. I was syncing music to the 2g and noticed that there was a software update. Once the update was complete the phone was locked as there isn't a sim card in it. Itunes wants to activate the phone, but I just want to use it as an ipod. How do I unlock it without the sim card?

    I dont know anyone who has AT&T.
    Then you're gonna have to go to an AT&T store & get a sim card. Tell them you need a deactivated sim card to use to activate your original iphone. They will most likely charge you for the sim since I gather you don't have an account with AT&T. There is no way around this fact, you need an AT&T sim card to activate your phone.

  • I updated safari and now it opens with a blank page.  I can open a page after that but my homepage doesn't open.

    When I launch safari it opens with a blank page.

    Hey mate,
    I was having the same problem. If you upgraded to Lion - apparently there is a 'general tab' in the system preferences that has a box that you need to un check. (The box says something about restoring all last windows from last session)
    If you updated Safari but are not using Lion, here is how to fix it. Simply delete this item fromyour Mac HD and restart Safari.
    [USERHOME]/library/preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
    Hope this helps... It worked for me!

  • Itunes updated files and now I'm locked out - help

    So I just plugged my Ipod classic into the PC to charge it and Itunes opens up and says 'updating files'.
    The old files (over 20gb of music and movies) are still on it, but it looks in the usage bar to have compartmentalized them off.
    It then copied the whole lot over again... so now all the same files are on it twice.
    And when I turn it on it has no files. No music, movies or the games i've downloaded. Nothing.
    2 days ago I logged into my apple account on Itunes and downloaded a game for the Ipod. It didn't try to update it then, and didn't earlier today when I plugged it in. But this time it did what I mentioned above.
    So now I can't access any of my music or movies on it. Help.
    Will I have to restore it and start again?
    EDIT: I've just plugged it in again, and it has added the 2nd lot to the compartmentalized files and tried to copy it all over again. So I forced it to stop syncing and ejected it.

    Nevermind.
    I called the number on my warranty we ended up having to restore it and start over.
    Still don't know what caused the issue in the first place, so ill leave this marked as unanswered for now.
    If anyone knows why it would do it please let me know

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Dear Brian:
    Create a Play List in iTunes.
    Control-Click and open "Export" in the highlighted Playlist in iTunes.
    With "Export" opened:
    1. Click on "Format" and choose "M3U";
    2. In "Save As" name your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; and
    3. In "Where" tell the program where to send your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u".
    You are done creating the Playlist.m3u in iTunes.
    Open "Subsonic Web Page".
    Left hand column open "Import playlist".
    In "Import playlist" click "Choose File" and open the "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; you created in iTunes.
    The "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u" should now occupy the space between "Choose File" and "OK".
    Click "OK".
    The file should now be in the "Playlist" on the left.

  • Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

    Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

    If the iPad is running iOS 7 and the kid set up Find My IPad, then you can't restore it without the kid's Apple ID and password. The Activation Lock is a feature that people whined and whined to get, and is causing exactly the sort of problems many of us predicted when people were clamoring for it. If you can't get the kid's Apple ID, you'll have to call Apple Support and ask if they have any sort of workaround. My guess is that they'll have to replace the iPad, but they may have a solution they don't talk about publicly.
    This won't help for iPads currently locked for which you can't get the Apple ID, but if before you give out iPads to your students you go into the Restrictions and disallow changes to the accounts, they can't then turn in Find My iPad. Or you can set up Find My iPad yourselves to your own accounts and then lock the Restrictions so they can't set iCloud up to an account to which you don't have the Apple ID.
    Regards.

  • I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

    Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

  • Just updated my 3GS to the IOS 6 and now I'm locked out and it wont accept my former password, help!

    I updated it and now I can't even get into the phone. I tried my old password, my password that I had before that, and common factory passwords but it won't accept any of them. I don't know what to do.

    Nevermind, I figured it out. My case was interfering with me entering in the password.
