Safari 4 O Old Machines

This morning I deleted all cookies and haven't had the blank page problem ...and, seems to browse faster.

Ok with much reluctance I just did on the powerbook - seems to work - I am doing it on the macbook pro now - just rebooting.

how can I update the 3.1.1 to 3.2.3 or whatever the latest 3 version is - it only shows 4 again in system update?

it appears to work on the macbook pro too - Great.

now to update the version 3.

any clues anyone?

Thank you for the solution from 4 to 3.

Ok - going back to Safari 3 and the pop up blocker is working again - I noticed when you visit TV Guide in 4 and you close out of the safari window there is a netflix pop up add all of the time. I just checked in with Safari 3 and nothing - so there is stuff in 4 that just doesn't work and yes I always keep the pop up ads blocked.

what a joke.

This is the link I used, took me a while to find it then, so at least you won't have to dig 😀

Good luck
PS My mac book pro works great again

FYI; still getting the blank page; but only at my.earthlink.net; running 3.1.1.

I deleted Safari 4.app; .plist; and the receipt Safari4.0Tiger.pkg. But, I think my puter still has 4.0 or 4.0.1 remnant somewhere...?....

Thx for the link to 3.2.3! How in heck did you find it? lol

Can one go straight to 3.2.3 from 3.1.1? Thx!

Can we do this with X.5 or is it only for Tiger?

3. Safari download won't work

I decided to download Safari 3.2.3, am presently using 3.2.1 and have had some slow issues. The file...

I don't remember specifically what I had to do, which I found out AFTER A&I

Yes you can go directly from 3.11 to 3.2.3

I do not remember exactly "how" I found 3.2.3 LOL From my old days as a PC Tech/consultant, doing research is sort of second nature 😀

Check if there are any plists above 3.11, AND any .pkg as well. Delete them. And empty trash. When I removed them and left them either on the desktop or in the trash = NO GO
Have you backed everything up???? Just in case?

Let me know how you do

I don't know you may want to start a seperate link with that specific question as after a while "the Pro's" tend to ignore older threads 🙂

Strangeness:
The 3.2.3 version can't be installed on my present volume; eg it has a red slash thru it when the choosing volume option comes up in the Installer. However, it could and was updated on my other HDD/volume which also had 3.1.1. I get the same result starting up from either HDD.

I'm thinking of doing an A&I to get everything cleared up once and for all. Any thoughts on this strangeness? Are 'remnants' of v4 still lirking? Maybe that Webkit thang (since I still get the 'blank page' deal)? Before installing 3.1.1, I trashed everything Safari that I could find; eg .app, prefs, .plist, etc.

I had the same problem which is why I ended up doing A&I. After the initial work of re-installing Itunes, Aperture and a few other programs. I no loner "hang" in Safari, and flickr is again bearable. No long waits except Busy,busy, times 🙂 It seems that some of our older MBPro's have the Safari installation issue.. Suggestion:
Unless you really need it leave quick time at V 7.3.1 as the later versions were/are extremely buggy. I do not know if they have fixed the problems. It is interesting to me to see that as Macs get more mainstream, Apple seem to be emulating some of MS's worst habits, New versions before they are READY, and making the "newer" versing HUGE.'
We do NOT need problems that badly Apple!!!

"...New versions before they are READY, and making the "newer" versing HUGE.'..."

I know whatcha mean; some 'updates' are 70-80MB. And it seems they're 'building upon a build upon a build upon a build...'

Still, I'll remain a Macster; still WAY better than Windoz...with all their adware, malware, viruses, trojans, with the concomitant apps to fix same; and security updates, etc ad nausea. Not to get into a pi$$ing contest; MS has millions of happy followers; they do some things right.

BTW, I just dragged my Safari v3.2.3 from my other HDD>Apps to my 'main' HDD>Apps. Working fine except still the occasional blank page at my.earthlink.net...berry berry strange. And, lately, that same page will freeze when I 'reload'. I haven't had web page freezing since OS 9, Outhouse Express, Internet Exploder and A,O-well. If it becomes problematic, I'll do an A&I.

Cheers
