Safari update 8.0.1

8.0.1 update still missing for Yosemite. I keep checking!

Go to http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1825558 and find the download links in the first comment of the thread

That link works now for Yosemite, last night they had that shut down. Just going to wait till it re-appears in App Store as I don't want to go from compass to question mark over a 65MB patch!

So... I guess I have lost all my tabs in Safari... great for my job... What are you doing Apple?????????? I hope they fix this as soon as possible because this is a complete disaster, especially if they do things like this trying to compete with Chrome or Firefox.. Maybe this is the last time I use Safari although they repair the damage done.

Please, give us a solution!!!!!!

When you do get safari back, the first time it opens, pull down the History menu and choose "open all windows from last session."

If you get no joy there, the tabs you had open should be in your history somewhere and hopefully you can recognize them.

As long as Safari was not crashed or force quit, that history data should be available. The updater would have closed Safari gracefully before allowing itself to run.

I downloaded Safari from the link above and it started with all my folders and bookmarks and favorites, even my Button Bar configurations, which in the past have been lost with upgrades.

Safari has been stable and I'm holding my breath.

This just happened to me also. I have the Macbook pro 15 inch, and the Safari 8.0.1 update was installed Dec. 3. Then Safari disappeared. I am running Yosemite OS X 10.10.1.

I updated the minute it came out and i have no problems at all. Did anyone else update it without any problems?

I also updated to 8.0.1 without a problem, but now I wonder if I should have it since Apple pulled it?

If it is working for you then you should be OK.

I hope you are right about that! But it seems unusual that I have an 8.0.1 Safari while other people don't. I guess I should just be thankful that it didn't take my Safari away, but I'm concerned that at some point it may be a problem for me. After Yosemite then pulling an upgrade for Safari I'm not too trusting of Apple right now.

Thanks for the reply firesidefromellenville.

I hear you about the reliability of Apple at the moment. From what I have read people who have two Macs have the update working just fine on one but lost Safari on the other. I believe that MacBookPros seem to be most hit with the vanishing browser.

Thank you boofla - this worked for me. Safari is back after this! 🙂

I have an iMac (27 inch, mid 2011) using 10.10.1. Considering the terrible internet/wifi experience I had weeks ago after updating to 10.10, I have been hesitant to update to 10.10.1 which I did today, and everything seems great. Next to do today was to update Safari, but first I read several articles, as well as comments in the Apple support communities, it appears that the Safari update 8.0.1 is not available--Apple has "pulled it". Procrastination can be a good thing?

Weeks ago when 10.10 was installed, Safari was so slow to open and so quick to crash. Absolutely unacceptable. The only resolution to the Safari problem weeks ago was to stop using Safari (for the first time since the birth of Safari) and use an outside child browser. Concerned about security issues, I looked forward to returning to Safari with the update and find today it is not available--again, procrastination can be a good thing. So, I am not going to update Safari until a week or two after Apple on the Apple website says it is good to go.

WEIRD thing is that today I quit Chrome, dug out Safari 8.0 that did not function in any way when I updated to 10.10, opened Safari and--it is working brilliantly. Have been using it for hours and restarting multiple times to find that Safari 8 that did not work at all for me weeks ago does work today. Enjoyed old Jim Croce, Cat Stevens, and many others on youtube. Lucky? Not all so much. Uninstalling Google Chrome is a challenge.

Just sharing what I have learned. Although a dedicated Mac user since 1988, what is truly great is that I don't need to know too much to have any Mac sing for me. Thanks.

Actually I have a MacBookPro and the 8.0.1 worked fine for me. We also have a large IMac, but the upgrade either didn't come up for it or the family member that uses it wasn't checking for an upgrade and never saw it? We don't do auto upgrades. So I really don't know what happened there.

My problem is unlike a whole lot of people posting here I have no tech knowledge about computers at all! I can post here, surf the internet, use email, and that is it. So I'm completely at the mercy of Apple with what they do or don't do!
