Why can't I upgrade Safari?

I have Safari 3.0.4 and I want to upgrade to 3.1.2 but when I go to "Software Update..." in the Apple menu it says "Your software is up to date." Then I tried downloading it from apple.com and when I ran the Installer it said "This update is for Mac OS 10.5.2 or newer." and I don't know why it doesn't work because I have 10.5.4.

Are you sure you have Safari 3.0.4? Software update knows what you're running, so if it says you're up to date, you should already be running 3.1.2, or 3.1.1 at a miniumu. If you go to About Safari, what does it say, exactly for the version, including the Build number?

  • Why can't I upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6? My MPB spits out the disc before it ever appears on the desktop.

    Why can't I upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.3? My MPB spits out the disk before it ever appears on the desktop. The Snow Leopard disk is brand new, was still in shrink wrap until I opened it. I do have the hard drive partitioned, running Win XP with Boot Camp, if that might be the issue.

    Hey vlntrg,
    I have a 2002 model Powerbook that will sometimes (most of the time) refuse to mount a CD or DVD. It just grunts for a while and then spits it back out. When this happens, I will slap the bottom of the machine several times with an open hand, not too hard and not too soft. I read this somewhere online (I forget where), and I was hesitant to try it, but it was cheaper than replacing the SuperDrive.
    This will often allow me to insert and use the CD or DVD. I have also noticed that I have less trouble when the machine is cold than when it's warm.
    I've not had this trouble with my MacBook Pro.
    Another thought. Would it be possible to boot your machine in target disk mode and update your software using a friend's Mac? I'm sure there are others here who can better answer that question.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1338 Why can I not make Safari my default browser? I did what it said to click on it and accept, but it does not happen.

    This is my question.  Why can't I make Safari my default browser.  I have followed directions, but it does not happen.

    Not sure what procedure you are describing, but...
    In Safari preferences General tab, for the Default web browser setting, select Safari.

    We want to help you but unfortunately you have given us insufficient information.
    Please find a moment to tell us more about your machine, the model identifier, the OS version, and the total amount of RAM you have.   It also helps to know where you are, nothing specific, just the country.
    Then fill those same details in your profile for future use.
    We need this to answer questions otherwise we're just working blind.   Remember, different OS's and devices often require different answers for the same question.

  • Why can't I upgrade to yosemite? I'm currently running snow leopard on my white macbook.

    Why can't I upgrade to yosemite? I'm currently running snow leopard on my white macbook.

    White MacBooks are NOT eligible to upgrade to either 10.8 Mounain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks or 10.10 Yosemite.
    You maybe able to upgrade your white MacBook to OS X 10.7 Lion
    OS X Lion system requirements
    To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    You can purchase a OS X 10.7 Download code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Next,
    If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
    The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe  could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
    So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
    Also, check for app compatibilty  here.
    http://roaringapps.com/
    If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
    These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
    Once you have determined all of this, you should be able download OS X 10.7 Luon from the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
    You can then begin the download and installation process by using the paid download code to Download and install OS X 10.7 Lion rom the Mac App Store.
    Good Luck!

    Why can I not upgrade my iCloud storage on iOS

    Hard to say why that would be.  Suggest you contact iTunes store support for help with this: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  They normally deal with iTunes and app store issues, but they should be able to tell you if there's an issue with your iTunes account that is preventing the purchase and how to correct it.

    My credit card expired and now I can't update paid for apps. Why can't I upgrade without a credit card?

    The "None" option is not available. Presumably because I have already purchased on that Apple ID with a credit card.
    That is not likely the case. As you can see in my account in the US  store I have a bank card in place and I have the None option.
