Why Apple do not let download Safari?

I am just wondering why Apple do not let people download Safari for Mac using a windows machine? The only available options are windows XP and windows XP + quicktime.
Do they think that users are so stupid that don't know what system they have?
Kind regards,
Alekst

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I agree there ought to be an easier way to access the download. In the meantime, if you need to obtain the OS X version via a Windows machine, Niel's post on this thread will get you there.

  • Why apple do not let iran download any apps and gives error 1009

    why apple do not let iran download any apps and gives error 1009 . we can just download apps with VPN or ANTI FILTER .
    iran`s people are realy good people but some of Authorities are bad .
    APPLE pls dont think bad about us . we want Peace but our Authorities ...
    please slove the problem of error 1009 ...

    Apple has no App Store in Iran. The US Government has severe restrictions on US companies doing business in Iran, and there may well be other issues such as lack of available infrastructure, issues with Iranian law, or other problems that would also prevent Apple from doing business there.
    Unless and until Apple is able to open an App Store in your country there's nothing you can do, and quite frankly I think that's not likely to happen anytime in the foreseeable future.

    Check with the software vendor for an update to that program. If they don't have one yet then complain to them and continue to use your older system until there is an Update for it.

    goodnight. as you know apple has evolved considerably until today but there are people who do not have ability to buy new products. in my case I would like to know why the apple do not let the iphone 3g update to iOS 4.3 as are several applications that can not put on my iphone 3g due to this reason. Why does not Apple make a repository with applications for ios 4.2.1? or else do not work in an update to ios 4.3 on iphone 3g?

    This has nothing to do with Apple, as Apple does not make the apps.
    This is the decision of the app maker.
    Contact those app makers and ask them why they do this.

  • I don't want to know how to delete duplicate photos anymore. I would like to know why Apple have not put in delete duplicate option menu in iPhoto? Very curious. Is it to frustrate users, so they have to go out and buy another apple photo product?

    Just want to know why Apple have not made an options menu to remove duplicate photos in iPhoto? I know about downloads you can purchase to delete Dups, but I'm very interested to find out from apple themselves as to why they left this out, to die without knowing this is like having viruses on a pc or waiting for the web page to pop up on windows...
    Option
    A. Is it to annoy the user, to frustrate them enough to go out there and buy another apple photo product?
    Or
    B. Is it to annoy the user, to frustrate them enough to commit suicide, to reduce population in the world?
    Is there a third reason? Can someone help me, otherwise I'll have to go with option B.

    We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it.  Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers.  See what I mean?  I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not. 
    You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

  • Why does favicon not always download on PC ... whereas it does on Mac?

    Why does favicon not always download on PC ... whereas it does on Mac?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • I cannot pay my outstanding balance as Apple will not let me.

    How in the world would I pay my outstanding balance of 40 dollars If apple will not let me? I had already voiced my concerns to apple via  email and the only means I could pay my outstanding balance as per their instruction is through itunes gift card. I am unable to use credit cards or debit cards as my apple id account is associated with too many cards (Yeah Right) so in effect I am compelled to  purchase an itunes gift card which I did from an online store. HOWEVER, I am unable to use the said gift card as it is only for the US itunes store as I found out in my attempt and my account is set on the Philippine itunes store which renders the gift card absolutely useless; furthermore I cannot switch countries due to the RESTRICTION. I went to support AGAIN and still got the intstruction that I need to use itunes gift cards to pay the balance. This time I went to a Power Mac center and told me that they do not sell itunes gift card for the itunes Philippine store and in fact they and all other branches are not engaged in selling itunes gift cards anymore. I went to other retail stores and told me itunes gift cards are readily available for purchase but it is for the US store only and NEVER for the Philippine store. In fact, they told me that itunes gift cards for the Philippine store DOES NOT EXIST. I went back to the Power Mac center, told them this and they did confirm with the fact that there is no such thing as an itunes gift card for the Itunes Philippine store and they even suggested that I need to make a new account. ***? I emailed apple about this and up to this moment no reply. Now, how am I supposed to pay my outstanding balance? This is such a huge inconvenience in my part, I wish apple would have been more wiser in giving instructions. Now, anyone... Suggestions?

  • Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

    Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

    It's probably telling you that you need 1.5 more GB than you have available. Hook up your device to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do the update from there. OTA updates require a lot more memory than ones done via iTunes.
    Cheers,

  • Why apple is not adding tweaks like activator,volume slider in multitasking bar and a blacklist app

    Why apple is not adding tweaks like activator,volume slider in multitasking bar and a blacklist app?

    But quantity is not everything.
    Funny, because Windows proponents and users touted the quantity of apps available with that swiss cheese for security OS being "everything" or a big plus, but now say it isn't everything with iOS. Can't have it both ways.
    At present there are about SIX blacklist apps in the OFFICIAL Apple Store which I can buy for MONEY but have NO USE AT ALL because of the APIs restrictions.
    3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs for security reasons. Andrioid is following the same path as Windows. Their so called "open" OS is a swiss cheese for security mobile OS.
    If this isn't acceptable to you or having an option to block unwanted calls provided by the iPhone's OS is a very important want or need, stick with an Android or Symbian device that includes the option. 

  • Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays ?

    Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays and the new imacs? Everything on the market uses hdmi...they then add one to the new macbook pros, but none on the displays. Is there a reason?

    These are User to User support Forums where we all help each other.  No one from Apple replies here.  Obviously we have no way of knowing why Apple does or doesn't choose to do something.

  • I just bought more icloud storage, why does it not let me backup my iPhone 5..says i need 1.4 GB of space

    i just bought more icloud storage, why does it not let me backup my iPhone 5..says i need 1.4 GB of space?..I just bought 10 more in icloud.

    I think you are confused. Syncing apps and music to your phone will not get store in the cloud by adding more cloud storage. If you don't have enough space to sync the music and apps, buying cloud storage won't help. If you have a 16GB phone, the phone still only has 16GB for apps and music even if you buy 10 mor GB of cloud storage.
