Installed 10.6 Snow Lepoard and Safari is gone! I went to Apple to download the latest and it still won't appear!

I am running on a home computer MAC OSx Version 10.5.8.

I recevied the new iphone5 for work and needed to upgrade in order to sync at home.

I installed the Mac OSx Snow Leopard 10.6 and now I am having all kinds of problems.

Sarfari icon is completly gone. And the Apple mail is no longer set up.


Surely if my computer was unable it wouldn't try to install Snow Leopard any way correct?


Currently the memory I am running on is only 1GB 667 MHZ.


Annoyed that this update has now caused me more problems and could result in $$$.

OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 requires a Mac with an Intel processor and a few other details; here are the OS X 10.6 technical specifications (including system requirements). The About This Mac can get you system details, if you don't already know them.


I don't know off-hand of an Intel processor at 667 MHz; that was one of the speeds encountered with the G4-class PPC systems, Those don't support Snow Leopard AFAIK. (The most recent similar G4-class PPC Mac was released around 2003.)


Is the Safari icon you are referring to as missing the Safari icon that's often in the dock?


If so, does Safari exist in the Applications directory?


If it does, drag Safari back to the dock.


If Apple Mail.app is no longer set up, then does reconfiguring it work?


It's also possible that there are issues or problems with the upgrade; that's happened occasionally over the years.
