I Lost my Safari

Morning, you may download Safari from.

<http://www.apple.com/downloads/>


Your Welcome.

Ray

You can extract and install Safari from the Leopard disk by using Pacifist.
You can download Pacifist from versiontracker.com or macupdate.com

You have some other kind of problem if you can't get to those 2 sites.

Clear your cache... restart.. or do something so you can go here:

http://www.macupdate.com/

I think the original poster misunderstood you, and thought you were claiming that one could download Safari from those two sites. But as was noted before, Safari for Mac OS X is not available for download.

Unfortunately, the original poster also noted that s/he doesn't have the computer's original discs at present, so Pacifist is of no help until the they become available.

I'm afraid there's no other way to reinstall Safari without the appropriate installer disc.

Eric,

Yeah... Still not sure.
They say they couldn't find the original disk(s).....

Does this mean they also lost the Leopard disk?
As you know, they can install Safari from the Leopard disk using Pacifist.

If they lost all the original disks and the new Leopard disk, then they are out of luck.

Safari 3 beta is no longer available as a download from the Apple site.
It is however, part of the Mac OS X 10.4.11 update.
You won't be able to run the update but you may be able to download Pacifist and use that program to load the update package and select Safari in the Applications part of the update and then install it.
I have not done this but can't think of any other way.
You could download and install Firefox, Netscape or some other browser until you get your disk.

imac,

I believe Netscape is dead. Just like Internet Explorer.
Both of the above will work on some computers but they are no longer developing them.

FireFox, Camino, Omni Web and Safari seem to be the best choices.

Netscape Browsers will no longer be supported as of March 1.
Until then the browser is available as a download and supported.
Netscape Navigator
Recommended Configuration
PowerPC G4 or Intel processor
512 MB of RAM
150 MB of free disk space

Another available browser is Opera.

Forgot about Opera...

Who wants something that is heading for the recycle bin like Netscape..... ?
I tossed all my copies.
Netscape used to be great. I have used it since the beginning. Hate to see it go.

Joseph,
He just needs something for a day or two until he can get Safari back.

If it is on another computer you can install it.
It is a drag and drop application.
If the Powerbook has Leopard then it has the right version.
On the Powerbook go to the Sharing preference and set up file sharing by clicking on the box.
Then on the Powerbook, click on the Airport icon and Create Network.
Don't require a password.
Now go to your Macbook Pro and go to the airport menu and join the other computer's network.
You may have to sign into the other computer.
Use the user name and password for the other computer since you are logging into it.
Choose the hard drive to mount.
Go to Applications and drag Safari to your desktop.
Once the copy is complete you can simply choose to disconnect from the network (in the airport menu on your Powerbook) and it will get rid of the network.
Then move Safari to your Applications folder.
