Apr 15, 2014 12:45 PM in response to RuudSby Carolyn Samit,After installing the latest software (safari 7.0.3)
Not sure exactly what you mean ..
The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running Mavericks v10.9 is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
That takes at least 45 minutes using a broadband connection.

Apr 16, 2014 12:11 PM in response to RuudSby Linc Davis,★HelpfulIf you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
