Upgrade Safari 1.2 to 1.3.1 after downgrade from Tiger to Panther

I wished to restore performance to my G3 iBook by downgrading from Tiger to Panther, and have been successful with that and have restored all apps to Panther versions except for Safari. The downgrade (archive and install) left Safari 2.0 on my HD for some reason, which of course wouldn't launch under 10.3.9. I dragged Safari 2 to the trash, downloaded Safari 1.2 which installed fine. However when I try to upgrade now to 1.3.1, I am told by the installer that the software cannot be used with the disc volume (the system volume) I choose to install to.
(BTW, invoking Software Update says my software is all up to date, even though I'm only on Safari 1.2.)
I've seen the other threads which have suggested removing Safari pkg receipts from /library/receipts, but this hasn't helped me in this case; I can't find any thread that had a successful resolution yet. Anything else anyone can suggest? Many thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can try using Pacifist to extract Safari from your install disk and install it. You may then be able to upgrade it more easily, although I can't promise that for sure.
Unless you are absolutely wedded to Safari, I find Camino to be at least as good (I think better) as Safari, and looks almost identical, so that there should not be much of a learning curve. I also use Firefox and especially like it for the measure of security it provides.
Please do not hesitate to post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

After upgrading to 10.9.2 the display distorted after waking from sleep

I have to force a restart as the system often is non-responsive. This did not happen until I upgraded to 10.9.2. I have 2 internal SSD HDs.

10.9.2 upgrade and now wifi will not automatically reconnect after wake from sleep

I upgraded to 10.9.2 on my mid-2012 Macbook air and now when i wake the laptop from sleep the wifi will not automatically reconnect. I have to physically click on my network to re-join it.

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. Reinstall OS X.

Safari Pages and Mail cannot be seen after awaking from sleep

If I leave Safari or Mail open, all of a sudden now when I come back and wake the computer from sleep, the programs are open, but the pages or mailboxes cannot be seen. New pages do not open. All that is seen is the menu bar, which seems to operate normally, but no inboxes or pages appear. I have to shut the computer down to get it to work again.
Any thoughts?

More info:
It seems to be the screen going to sleep, not the computer. When I come back and touch the mouse or the keyboard, as the screen lights up, there is a flash of the web pages I left up, then they vanish.
Yikes!!!

HELP! HOW DO I KEEP LOGIC WHEN UPGRADING FROM TIGER TO SNOW LEOPARD!

So I use a later macbook but have another slightly older one (got it in 2007) that kinda kicked the bucket. I'm now able to use it again (with a new setup). I have Logic express (an older version) but the macbook is running that last version of tiger before leopard. I want to upgrade to snow leopard (which i've learned I can from tiger directly for the low price) but I don't want to lose logic since I payed for it and don't have the install discs anymore.
I don't mind getting rid of everything else but I want to keep the actual program on the comp and just run it in SL. What specifically do I have to do (as far as backing up and all that) to CLEANLY upgrade from tiger to SL but keep logic? I'll have an external HD by the time I'm ready so keep that in consideration.

I have never used Logic Express so I can't help you but if you to the Logic Express Forum and repost over there you might be able to find someone who knows about Logic Express to help you.

Is it worth upgrading from Tiger to Leopard?

I have a G4 imac that I've been running on Tiger quite happily. A friend of mine has given me his old copy of Leopard (lucky bloke has just bought a new 27inch imac!). My questions are:
1. Is it worth me changing considering there seem to be issues when installing the CD?
2. Tiger was the last OS for a power pc based mac. Does the fact that Leopard was designed to run on both power pc and Intel OS make it less stable?
Cheers
Steve

I think it is a close call. It depends on your use of the iMac. I recently upgraded my 1 GHz G4 PowerBook (1.25 GB RAM) from Tiger to Leopard and it runs much hotter than it did in Tiger. The fan kicks in more often.
The only compelling feature in Leopard (for me and this PowerBook) is *Time Machine*. The other new features seem to need more horsepower than this old G4 can manage. If all the software you run works fine in 10.4, there is no real need to upgrade.
On the other hand, there is lots of cool software that requires 10.5. And, Apple have dropped security updates for Tiger, so there are risks in going online! But, if your Internet connection is through an ADSL/Cable router, this acts as a firewall, so the risks are miniscule.
Try it out and see. The best solution is to first clone your Tiger hard disk, using something like *Carbon Copy Cloner*. That way you can install Leopard and try it out, but still have an easy way to go back to your Tiger installation.
Once you have installed Leopard, you can migrate your applications and settings from the clone of your Tiger hard disk, using the *Apple Migration Assistant*, found in Leopard's Utilities folder.
Hope that helps

Why can I not open PDF files or upgrade Safari

Upgraded to snow leopard, no PDF files will open. Tried upgrading Safari from 5.0.5 but message said this computer requires 10.5. what can I do ?

Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard :
System Requirements
Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leopard
If you have 10.6.3, you need to update to 10.6.8 before attempting to install Safari 5.1.10. Use Software Update from your Apple menu, which should take care of Safari, OS X 10.6.8 & any required security updates too. Backup first, in case of problems - although your files & applications shouldn't be affected.

I'm still using Snow Leopard because heard too many horror stories about upgrading to Lion. But I can't upgrade Safari unless I upgrade OS. Is Mavericks any better than Lion?

I'm still using Snow Leopard OS because I heard too many horror stories about people upgrading their OS to Lion. But I can't upgrade Safari anymore unless I upgrade the OS. I get messages constantly telling me I need to upgrade my web browser, and have increasing problems correctly viewing pages (like L.A. TImes, NY TImes) because Safari needs upgrading.
I can't really tell what the advantages are to upgrade to OS Mavericks or OS Yosemite because it seems most are intended for mobile apps, and I only use my desktop.
My last upgrade to SNow Leopard wiped out 2/3 of my iPhoto collection. No idea why and no fix. Macs used to be the epitome of compatibility for upgrades — not anymore.
What are my options? What issues would I encounter if I upgrade OS to Mavericks or to Yosemite? WHat are likely problems, advantages and disadvantages?
Thanks for any help sent my way.

If you do want to upgrade.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Mavericks, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.

Can I upgrade Safari 3.0.4 on OS 10.4.11?

I just upgraded an Mac Mini to OS 10.4.11 and Safari is 3.0.4. When I try to open Safari, the icon bounces once and doesn't open. And it doesn't open from the Applications Folder either? Why is this? Do I need to upgrade Safari and if so, where do I find older versions of Safari to upgrade to????

HI,
Do I need to upgrade Safari and if so, where do I find older versions of Safari to upgrade to????
The minimum system requirements for v10.4.11 is for Safari 4. It's not possible to run older versions of Safari on v10.4.11. You want Safari to have the latest security and privacy components installed.
Since you are running v10.4.11, you must update to Safari 4. That's why you can't launch Safari.
Go to your Apple Menu (top left corner of your screen) then click: Software Updates. That should bring your system software up to date.
Then repair disk permissions...
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

How do I upgrade Safari? I have Snow Leopord with Safari 5.1.10 now

How do I upgrade Safari? I have Snow Leopord with Safari 5.1.10 now.
Thanks

You must upgrade the Mac OS to use any higher version of Saari than what you have. Mac Minis made before March 2009 can run no higher than OS 10.6.8 or, in some cases, OS 10.7.5. It would help us to know what variant of the Mini you have so we can make upgrade recommendations.
If you are encountering web pages or functions that you cannot use because your Safari is too old, the simplest action is to switcher browsers to FireFox. It runs perfectly on OS 10.6.8 and is seen as a supported browser by the vast majority of web sites. Get it here:

I upgraded Safari in my Mac (10.6.8 Leopard) but the new version does not work with my system so that I now have not a working browser. How can I solve the problem and/or install back my previous Safari version?

I have upgraded Safari in my Mac, but the new Safari does not work with my system. So I find myself without any working browser. How can I solve this problem and/or install my previous Safari version?

Reinstall Safari 5.1.10 for OS X 10.6.8: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569. Might do the trick.
But, frankly, I don't think that simply reinstalling the old Safari will work because of all the peripheral, under the hood changes that happen when you upgrade from one version of Safari to another. Reinstalling 5.1.10 may be insufficient to turn back the clock. (This is the moment where a Time Machine or another form of full backup would save your bacon.)
While you're getting a copy of Safari 5.1.10, get a copy of Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/), too, so that you have an alternate browser to use as you're sorting matters.
