Applications :: Safari Vanished And Can't Reinstall?
Dec 17, 2009
Safari 4 seems to somehow have been deleted from my mac. The dock icon had a question mark in it so I removed it from the dock (nothing happened when i clicked on it anyway). When I looked in my applications folder it appears to have gone from there. No problem I thought, i'll just reinstall it. Luckily I have Firefox on the computer so I went to apple.com/downloads and tried to download Safari 4. Nothing happens. A screen comes up saying thank you for downloading Sarafi but nothing has downloaded. Still not a problem i thought because i'm sure I have a copy of Safari 4 in my downloads folder from a few months ago. Found it, clicked on it and went through the install process. When it get to the "select a destination" stage it won't let me install because "this update requires Mac OS X 10.5.7 I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 which means it should work being a newer version. I can continue using Firefox but it seems a bit weird that I can't reinstall Safari. I have also noticed that for some reason i can't download anything else from the apple downloads page.

My safari (4.0.3) has started giving me the spinning beach ball way too often. I've repaired permissions but it's still doing it. So I thought it's time to reinstall it, must be corrupted or something. I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on a power book G4. The only instructions I have is the user guide that came with my mac and it's a bit too vague. can anyone give me a basic run through on how to reinstall just safari?

All of a sudden Safari won't start on my iMac G5, 10.5.4. Everything is updated.I did permissions repair. I tried removing Internet Plug Ins. No Safari.Do I have to reinstall Safari from the 10.5 disk? Will I lose all of my book marks? I've got a bunch synced to .Mac/Mobile Me, but my idisk isn't loading.

i have snow leopard and had some issues with safari. I uninstalled it and now i can't find where to download it from. The link on the apple website is for either tiger of leopard. I downloaded the leopard one, but it will not install on my computer because it is 10.6.1 instead of 10.5.8 or later. I have looked around, but can't find where to download it.

Safari 5.1.3 is a disaster. Ever since I upgraded a week ago I have had nothing but heartache, with multiple issues cropping up, all of them seemingling unfixable. As it turns out I have a backup of my system that has my previous, non-heartache version of Safari 5.1.2. My question is simple: Now that I've "upgraded" to Lion 10.7.3 and Safari 5.1.3, can I simply overwrite Safari 5.1.3 with the previous 5.1.2 version and get on with my life? Or will various changes throughout the system cause me more misery? Otherwise, I may just roll my whole system back to last week's backup and get on with my life.

Okay. So, Safari was giving me some trouble, right? So, I thought I would delete it and reinstall it. I never had a problem doing so before, right? So, why not? I did, and then, when I tried to reinstall it, it tells me I have a newer version already installed.

I accidentally removed Safari and am now trying to reinstall it from the disk. However, I can't check the box for Safari on the Optional Installs disk. I'm running 10.5.8 on an imac. I have now backed up everything (not Safari b/c I had already deleted it) to time machine and looking at doing a custom reinstall from the "install Mac OS X.app" disk.

I was having some issues with safari opening and Mac Support had me reinstall my disks. I just bought my MacBook like 3 months ago so I'm still getting used to everything and since installing I have 2 issues:
1. I found my user name, which we saved, on the "previous system" folder, but how do I get the info to apply. I tried dragging the whole folder to my desktop, but do I actually have to open each file and save them?
2. What happened to iphoto. I tried to open some of my pictures from my iphoto library and it said that I did not have iphoto on my computer

I accidently deleted Safari and now I can't reinstall because it keeps telling me there is a newer version on my computer. The issue is my system does not support the newer version.

I loved the speed improvements Snow Leopard gave to my computer, but I knew that I would have to do a clean install sooner or later. Now, Safari and Firefox are crashing frequently (multiple times a day!) and everything is slowing down again. I'm hoping a reinstall of the operating system will fix that. However, I used up all 5 installs on my Family Pack. Can I reinstall Snow Leopard with that disc, even though all 5 installs have been used? Do I need to buy another copy? Can the Genius Bar do the clean reinstall for me while my computer is there for other repairs?

Like Milton without his stapler, I am enduring quite a profound sense of loss, here.
My entire dashboard is literally filled with post-it notes. Or was. When I booted my computer, this morning, I discovered that about half of my notes were totally blank. Thinking a reboot might solve the problem and return to me my precious mini memoranda, I promptly restarted. Wrong move.
Having just booted up once more, I returned to my dashboard to find that only two of my yellow friends contained the precious knowledge they once possessed.

I have an iMac with 10.4.11 on it that I've been using since 2006. Everything has been fine and dandy until earlier today when I decided to restart my computer after trying to get Adobe to work, and when I logged back in, my desktop background and all my icons were missing...it was as if I had turned my computer on for the first time.
Now all the files are still on the computer, I just can't access them. Anytime I try to click on "Documents" or certain other folders, I get a message saying I can't access them because I don't have "sufficient access privileges". I tried checking my account in the system preferences, but I am still listed as admin and am the only user anyway. I also tried repairing disk permissions under the Disk Utility tool, then restarting after that and I'm still having the same problem.

I do not know how or why but for some strange reason, my garageband application in my dock showed a question mark behind it and when I went into applications, it was nowhere to be found! Can anyone at least hint to me how this application just vanishes? I did not delete it but it is gone.

I opened my Apple Mail icon a couple hours ago and everything seemed fine as I recall. I shut down my Mac and started it up again maybe 45 minutes ago. All my email history had completely vanished and it was instructing me to set up my mail. I got my verizon account info (haven't done my old comcast info yet), and I just received an one incoming message, but all my email history has vanished ( I have no backup, my fault I know). Could anyone advise me what has happened, and if it is possible to restore my history?

I have Mail on my wife's MacBook Pro (running Lion 10.7.4) set up to access our host's mail server via IMAP. The inbox appears in the sidebar as 'Guided Tours' under 'Inbox'. She's set up a whole bunch of custom mailboxes which normally appear in her sidebar under the heading 'Guided Tours'. After shutting the Mac down for a week while she was away the only mailboxes there are Sent and Trash. The mail, in all its folders and subfolders, is all there on the server - I can see it via our host's horrible webmail interface. I've looked at Mail's preferences and come up with nothing - 'Mailbox behaviours' etc. are no help. The mailboxes had also disappeared from inside [URL] so I restored them from the last Time Machine backup from before she went away, but Mail wouldnt see them after quitting and relaunching or even after restarting the Mac. I then tried restoring the entire ~/Library/Mail folder from TM, but still no good. Finally, I deleted the whole account and recreated it from scratch, and this is where it gets even more interesting... This appeared to work - hurrah! Back in business with all the mailboxes showing as they should, and apparently fully functional... until I looked at her Mac about an hour later - when it hadnt even been to sleep, let alone shut down - and they'd vanished again! This time though, the mailboxes are still there in the INBOX.mbox folder... except they're all empty! For what it's worth, as well as being there on the server, the mailboxes are, fortunately, all accessible and usable from her iPad and iPhone, so she can use those for now.

I was running on Mac 10.6.8 and I wanted to update to Mac 10.9, which I did. I am not discovering that there have been some issued with Apache2 and my localhost. I don't know what is wrong, but I got it working once again. Â Â
Now I am having a rather large issue with MySQL. That issue being that it's no longer on my computer. mysql is no longer a bash command, and it's not in my /var/lib/ directory, not is it anywhere else I looked. I had a few databases set up, and I don't know if they were deleted somehow or what. I can't connect via Sequel Pro either. Must I completely reinstall MySQL for it to work again, or is some stuff still recoverable? Â

I've had a text file on my desktop for a while, I dragged it from one side of the screen to the other. When I let go of the mouse button the file disappeared! Its not in the trash, I've tried arranging files just in case it was hidden, no where to be found.

i recently updated my 2.4 ghz leopard macbook and i've noticed that it no longer makes the recognizable double-tone high pitch machine noise when booting up, coming out of standby or loading up vmw fusion.
Just out of curiosity - what happened? everything is running normally and from what i can tell nothing has changed.

Black 2006 Macbook, running 10.5.8. Refurb so no restore discs, but a retail copy of Leopard.
I did something truly stupid, I was reading on here about selecting different libraries when opening up iTunes. I thought hey I'll see if I can bring up my Power Mac G5 iTunes library (also running 10.5.8, where all my music is kept) and have it in a full library rather than the home network sharing option which doesnt have artwork etc.
Anyway...
I hit shift+alt when opening iTunes and navigated through my shared folder to the PM's music folder and selected the library file. iTunes bounced for a bit then the whole thing just hung. Stayed in a beachball and wouldn't let me force quit either. So I held the power button down and did a forced shut down. When I booted it back up it took me the grey screen with a flashing folder and question mark.
I popped in the Leopard retail disc and booted from that, opened up disc utility to find my harddrive has completely vanished, the only thing showing is the optical drive.
Ive tried:
Booting into target disc mode with the Macbook connected through Firewire to the G5... the G5 sees it in shared, as the computer name that I gave it (which must mean there's something there if my settings have been stored?!?), but fails to connect. It did connect as 'VNC' once. But there was nothing in the folder.
Tried resetting the PRAM.. not sure that would do anything but I thought why not, chimed twice but still doesn't see the hard disc in Disc Utility.
Booted with D to force the Macbook to boot from the internal, it just stays on a grey screen forever.
Tried to select startup disc but the only things listed are the Leopard install disc and a network boot. Also tried going ahead with a leopard install, my stuffs backed up on disc and the G5 so I dont mind a clean install, just want it to work again! No drive listed to install to though.
Any thoughts at all?! Can't believe I managed to destroy it with a tiny action!
