Upgrading Safari from 1.3.2 to 2.0
A year and a half after buying this, my first Mac, I still find myself up against seemingly brick walls in trying to understand the "deal" with Safari.
First question: Why isn't it one of the applications that warrants ongoing upgrade notices?
Second question: deciding to sign up for online banking, I've just visited my bank's website, where I was informed that I'd need to upgrade to Safari 2.0 in order to interface with that website. Do I just download 2.0? Or will this involve downloading every upgrade since the 1.3.2 version?

Safari 2.x requires OS X 10.4 Tiger. Safari is no longer being updated for OS X 10.3 Panther. Part of the reason for this is that Safari relies heavily on a framework in OS X called WebKit and is tied to the OS X version.
You have a couple of options...
Consider upgrading to OS X 10.4 Tiger. The improvement you will see in your internet experience (such as banking sites) will be like night and day.
Try an alternate Mac browser like Firefox, Camino, Opera. These are stand alone third party browsers and may improve your situation. Firefox has been gaining steady ground in the Windows and Mac worlds and many web sites now make sure they work with Firefox.

HT6103 upgrade safari from os x10.6.8
I need to update my browser. It's currently 5.1.10.
My Safari is 10.6.8
But I'm not being offered any software updates at all.
What do I do to update?
Thanks.Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Can't upgrade Safari from 5.1.7 to 5.1.10 in SL
Hello,
Have been trying to download and install the update to 5.1.10 for Safari in Snow Leopard. We're using 5.1.7 now. But in trying to open the package downloaded from here (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1569) we get the alert that we need to be running OS 10.6. And then the install quits. Is there a bug here or do we need to clear out something?
We're trying this because using Yahoo mail has become virtually impossible. It is incredibly slow, stacking mail incorrectly, no idea if mail is being sent out, folders are becoming garbled, etc. If someone knows of a fix for that too, I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance.Well, all I can say is "whoops".
We have 2 macs here, both are having the same huge issues with Yahoo mail on yahoo.com. One is running Snow Leopard, but apparently, the one I was asking about is running Lion 10.7.5. Apologies for the mixup.
However... that doesn't solve the problem. I still can't update Safari 5.1.7 to anything else, like 6.1 or whatever works best with 10.7.5. Nothing shows up in the Software Update menu, there is no download on apple.com, and I'm not at all sure if 6.1 is less stable than what I've got now (or if Yahoo mail is even compatible with it).
Any clues? -
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. -
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.

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).
Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false -
Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Cindi B
PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here. -
Is there a way to stop Safari from jumping from tab to tab?
I have a folder on my Bookmark Bar with 6 bookmarks that open up as tabs. These tabs contain all my banking websites, i.e. banks, credit cards, savings accounts and so on.
I click on the folder and six tabs open up. Everything is cool, however some days some websites load faster than others so I click on the first tab that has loaded and I attempt to login. This tab maybe the 5th tab from the left for example.
I start typing in my account and password and the first tab from the left then completes its loading and halfway into my password I jump to that tab. Royal pain in the rear.
Also when I create a new tab type in the URL hit return, then jump back to the original tab while the new tab loads, I want to stay on the tab I am on until I am done. I don't want to jump back to new tab once its loads.
Question: Is there anyway, any preference, any setting that I set to keep Safari from jumping around? Any way to submit this preference to Apple as an option or upgrade?
Thanks for your replies (BTW, I am just annoyed at this but I will reward the best answer!)I guess you are using "Auto Click" right? Hence all tabs open at one go. I use the same thing but have never come across this even though I have "Select tabs and windows as they are created" turned on from preferences>tabs. Strange.
I'm using Safari v3.2.1

Upgrading online from v10.2 to 10.4 problems...
I upgraded online from 10.2 to 10.4 but had been advised of the potential problems..
Since the upgrade which I did online (therefore no disk), I have had good days and bad, and the difference is confusing, i.e. the Mac decides what mood it is in - One day smooth sailing, the others, the mac can not even connect to www using safari/netscape etc.
The errors that appear on the screen every time I turn on since the upgrade are:
Faxstf toolbox
"could not load login file"
can't make every item of 'class cfol'
"library: Applications
Support: SmithMicro:faxsefX:startup"
of application "finder" info type
String. -1700
Norton AntiVirus Error
Norton AntiVirus Auto Protect could not continue.
Please reinstall NAV and restart.
Any suggestions will be appreciated! This note being sent from a PC.Thanks for the comment. I've got full use of Tiger having done the upgrade and someone suggested I re-load the 10.4.4 combo which I have just done (started at 17:14 and completed at 19:19 - not bad!)
The only errors I get now are:
1. error - could not load login file
2. The application Diagnostic quit unexpectedly
3. Norton virus error (which I know about)
Everything else seems to be in order from the web download and upgrade..

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.

After 10.6.7 upgrade - Safari Flickers / Jitters and more
after 10.6.7 upgrade - safari windows jitters / (like screen refresh)
also calculator now shows blank content in window - no numbers etc.
anybody else see this - or know how to fix this?The startup disk may need repairing.
From your admin account, launch Disk Utility. Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions here.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
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 startup disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free space. -
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. -
How do I update Safari from 1.3.2 to most current version?
I'm using OSX 10.3.9. I'm told I should update Safari from its current 1.3.2 (v312.6). I've updated software from Software Update successfully in the past, but a Safari update has never appeared in the Software Update dropdown menu. I downloaded Safari304BetaSecUpdateSetup.exe, but when I double click on the icon on the desktop, I get a message saying, "There is no default application specified to open the document Safari304BetaSecUpdateSetup.exe." So, how do I update Safari?
Thanks.You are running the final version of Safari for panther 10.3.9.
If you want the latest safari 3.0.4 you will have to purchase Tiger and upgrade to at least 10.4.10. It will NOT run on the old panther. -
How do i upgrade Safari on my laptop
How do I upgrade Safari on my laptop?
If you're running a Safari version older than 5.1.10, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences as many times as needed.
If you're running 5.1.10, you need to upgrade the computer's OS. Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

Upgraded Safari 6.1.1 Crashes Every time
I "upgraded" Safari 6.0.5 to 6.1.1 this morning - now it crashes every time. (I had to delete Mavericks and reinstall Mountain Lion last week because few of my vital apps would run on it.) How do I fix it? Or must I just rely on FireFox from now on?
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the configuration that may be related to the problem.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: In each of two steps, you copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is copy; paste; paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, use that.
Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. They do nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to think carefully before running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
PB=/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy; PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(sed 's/^/ /' <<< "$o") && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; PC () { o=$(grep [^[:blank:]] "$2"); PR "$1"; }; PF () { o=$($PB -c Print "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); PR "$1"; }; PN () { [[ $o -eq 0 ]] || printf "\n%s: %s\n" "$1" $o; }; { system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | sed '8!d;s/^ *//'; o=$(system_profiler SPDiagnosticsDataType | sed '5,6!d'); fgrep -q P <<< "$o" && o=; PR "POST"; o=$(($(vm_stat | awk '/Pageo/{sub("\\.",""); print $2}')/256)); o=$((o>=1024?o:0)); PN "Pageouts (MiB)"; s=( $(sar -u 1 10 | sed '$!d') ); [[ ${s[4]} -lt 90 ]] && o=$( printf 'User %s%%\t\tSystem %s%%' ${s[1]} ${s[3]} ) || o=; PR "Total CPU usage"; [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(ps acrx -o comm,ruid,%cpu | sed '2!d'); PR "Max %CPU by process (name, UID, %)"; o=$(kextstat -kl | grep -v com\\.apple | cut -c53- | cut -d\< -f1); PR "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); PR "Inserted libraries"; PC "cron configuration" /e*/cron*; o=$(crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "User cron tasks"; PC "Global launchd configuration" /e*/lau*; PC "Per-user launchd configuration" ~/.lau*; PF "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginw* Path; PF "Per-user login items" L*/P*/*loginit* Name; PF "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) | wc -l); PN "Restricted user files"; cd; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{A*d,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do ID=$($PB -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist") || ID=; ID=${ID:-No bundle ID}; egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" <<< $ID && printf '%s\n\t(%s)\n' "${d%/Contents}" "$ID"; done); PR "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); PR "Unsigned shared libraries"; o=$(system_profiler SPFontsDataType | egrep "Valid: N|Duplicate: Y" | wc -l); PN "Font problems"; for d in {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}*; do o=$(ls -A "$d"); PR "$d"; done; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 1 done'
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "Step 1 done" to appear below what you entered. The output of the command will beautomatically copied to the Clipboard. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(sed 's/^/ /' <<< "$o") && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; { o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|calendarse|cups|dove|isc|ntp|post[fg]|x)/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); PR "Login hook"; o=$(sudo crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "Root cron tasks"; o=$(syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail -n25 | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'); PR "Log check"; } 2>&- | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 2 done'
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
You can then quit Terminal. Please note:
☞ Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — type only your login password when prompted.
☞ When you type your password, you won't see what you're typing.
☞ If you don’t have a password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
☞ Step 2 might not produce any output, in which case the Clipboard will be empty. Step 1 will always produce something.
☞ The commands don't change anything, and merely running them will do neither good nor harm.
☞ Remember to post the output of both steps (unless you had to skip Step 2.) It's already in the Clipboard after you complete each step. You don't have to copy it. Just paste into a reply
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of either command, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
☞ Don't post what you see in the Terminal window. The output is copied automatically to the Clipboard.
☞ Don't paste the output of Step 1 into the Terminal window. Paste it into a reply.
