Download Safari for 10.3.9

My version of Safari would not run on 10.3.9. Click on it and nothing happened. I threw out the plist and still no luck. So I trashed it and want to download it again. I can find the Windows version on the Apple site, but I never thought I would find the day that I could not find the Mac version on the Apple site.

I have done a search for it.

Any help?

G5 1.8 GHz, Mac OS X (10.4.10), iBook 10.4 & G4 Quicksilver 867 MHz

Hi

You mention 10.3.9, but your tag says 10.4.10. Which version of OS X are you using?

Interesting. I replied to your post, but now it is not here.

I have several Macs. The one that will not run Safari runs 10.3.9. It is not a candidate to upgrade to 10.4 because of the video card. This is the G4 Quicksilver 867 MHz.

Hi

To recover Safari 1.3.2:

read first: Andy Ball - here. As you'll see, there is a problem with the Safari 1.2 updater where it overwrites certain WebKit files created by the 10.3.9 Combined Update. I'm not sure if Apple has rectified this problem in a subsequent revision to 10.3.9.

With the above as a background: here's how to reinstall Safari to v 1.3.2.

Go to your Finder. There, navigate to the HD>Library>Receipts folder. If present, move to the trash the Safari.pkg file.

Next, download a copy of Safari 1.2 from here. Next, apply the 10.3.9 combined update to upgrade Safari to 1.3. While the update is running, do not use the computer for any other tasks (good upgrade strategy). Hopefully, Apple has corrected the problem set out in Andy's post. Once completed and the computer restarts, "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

Next, apply the 1.3.1 update, followed by the 1.3.2 update. Once finished, again "repair permissions".
