Why not remove safari from OSX, Firefox and Chrome have surpassed it completely in functionality and usability?

To be honest the whole safari thing is always going to be a running joke to everyone.
Safari cant play embedded videos or loads of the content on youtube because of Apple insistence to lock it to only use thier version of flash, why not remove it all together and have a browser choice like Windows has this would at least give the users a chance to get a browser that is fully functional?

This one fails in Safari with 'This video is currently unavailable' here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ievjHzSB_ek
This one works: http://www.youtube.com/user/RockstarGamesGB?v=kDk1eOflyCk
It seems certain videos still fail in safari but run perfectly in Firefox, Chrome, Opera heck even the browser I coded myself works fine.

My camera and iBooks have stopped sending emails, the function and ability to create the email is still there but my iPad will no loner send the email or even store a draft on my account to suggest the email was ever written; please help I really need this functionality.

Can you send any emails at all indicating that the mail app is working? Did you try any basic stuff yet?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Close those affected apps and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I have a MacBook Pro 5,4 running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. A website i like has a known bug with 5.1.10 and recommends I install a newer version of Safari or use Firefox or Chrome. Just looking for advice on the best approach. Thanks!

Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.
Be aware, Apple no longer support Snow Leopard v10.6 > www.ibtimes.com/apple-kills-snow-leopard-os-x-106-no-longer-receives-security-u pdates-1558393
See if your Mac can run v10.9 Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
If so, you can download and install Mavericks for free from the App Store.

Check Software Update first.
You have to reinstall OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to install Safari.

I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

Safari is part of OS X 10.7.5, and your downloads should be via  > Software Update...
Can you provide some details on why you're trying to download Safari? Did Safari get deleteed from the dock or from the /Applications folder? Is Safari failing somehow?
There are ways to re-load Safari using the standard updates, if so. That usually involves re-applying the combo update kits, but I'd not start with that as a suggestion without knowing a little more about what's causing you to seek to re-download Safari...
And FWIW, and this may well be obvious to you, but — based solely on your phrasing, as I don't know how familiar you are with this stuff — recognize that sites claiming to offer {Safari or other web browsers, video codecs, flash players, system performance accellerators, anti-virus software, cache cleaners, games, whatever} can be distributing malware for OS X. Once the tool is downloaded and installed and authenticated, then the tool can do whatever it wants. Put another way, please don't try downloading Safari from anywhere. Please get Safari only from the Apple web site.

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmyrmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
You may be advised by others to try to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name, or by running "utilities" that purport to remove software. I don't give such advice. Those tactics often will not work and maymake the problem worse.

Why MS remove Exchange from Windows 2012 Essentials?

Why MS remove Exchange from Windows 2012 Essentials and support just with Office 365 and Exchange on-premise?

I don't think Microsoft has ever said exactly why. Some possible reasons, pick one (or more).
1. Because Exchange has become too resource intensive.
2. Because Microsoft wants to drive small business to O365.
3. Because Small and Medium business were already flocking to O365 and abandoning on premise Exchange.
4, Microsoft built out all those expensive data centers and needed someone to use them for something.
5. Hosting Exchange on the DC has always violated best practices, now that there are alternatives no need to continue.
6. All of the above.

You can't remove any of the built-in apps, including Safari. You can hide it via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari 'off', but the app can't be deleted.

if you use iTunes match in order to create space and remove music from your hard drive, does that happen automatically when you subscribe and upload your music or is there another step to remove the music from your hard drive once you've uploaded to iTunes match?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes match won't automatically remove content from your computer, if you want to do that you will need to do it manually yourself.

You have not replied in full.
Check here warranty status https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Check here for Hardware troubleshooting.
Regarding warranty and out-of-warranty services you already have answer. Verizon will help only if they sold the iPhone.
Incidentally in UAE
Technical support for iPhone in this region is provided by the carrier, not Apple.
So, Contact DU.

The LOVOO app has hijacked the app store on my ipad. Plus, it often redirects me to the hijacked app store when I'm in safari (from any number of anodyne sites). I've cleared history and cookies, and will now reboot the whole ipad. What permanent fix?

I have exactly the same problem with my iPod touch 5. The Lovoo application hijacks me to the App Store constantly. It is a nightmare. This is disgusting.

How can I unsync email so deleting from one device will not remove it from all devices?

How do I unsync email so deleting from one device will not remove it from all devices?

Sounds like you have an IMAP/Exchange mail account (vice a POP3 account). By design, an IMPA/Exchange account synchronized your mail boxes among different devices. That behavior can't be changed.
