how do I update to Safari 6 for OS X Lion

Hi,

Safari wasn't working in my macbook (crashes every time) and I cannot update using Software Updates. You can update to Safari 6:

1. Open command window

2. Copy and paste:

curl -s $(strings /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SoftwareUpdate.framework/SoftwareUpdate | grep http | grep sucatalog) | grep Safari | grep pkg | sed -e s/"<string>"//g -e s/"<\/string>"//g -e s/\ //g

3. Must show valid download URLs. Copy Lion link and paste in your browser.

4. Wait download finish.

5. Execute pkg.

This solution works for me! Lion 10.7.5

Safari Quits Every Time Opened

I did some research. I apologize for the link issue. There is a Safari 6.0.1 for Lion. It could be installed with 10.7.5, but if you don't have it then try using Software Update. If it isn't available that way, then it was an experimental version. In other words there is no 6.0.x public release for Lion; only for Mountain Lion.

I did a clean install of OSX Lion, after years of things accumulating in my mac, and was surprised by Safari not working.

I ran into the trouble described at the beginning of this thread regarding Safari not working after an upgrade to OSX Lion. I thought should be an easy fix, right.

I tried several of the methods here including the deleting of the PrivateFrameworks, et. al.

Even after the lengthy software updates, still didn't work. And those of you that tried to find a usable link to simply download Safari 6.0 probably were led to dead links or to the Apple site, that sent you to the Apps Store, and no direct link.

I almost gave up until I found this usable link, via WebCrawler search engine, and voila', free and easy working download. Simple as it should be. Yes, it worked. Hope it is a simple solution for you as well.

Just scroll down to EXTERNAL MIRROR 4 6.1.6 Lion

The version that I have with Lion is Safari 6.1.6.

P.S., I wouldn't trust the previously given "Macupdate" download link.

Apple Safari 6.0.2. Requires 10.7.5 - OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo).

Did you try the link from above?

Ignore.

Was it a beta version or just not for lion? I'm curious why you removed the link.

Bad advice !!!

That is absolutely the worst source for Apple software. Your chances of getting malware are extremly high.
