Safari 8.0.2 will not install

Running Yosemite 10.10.1. The Safari 8.0.2 will not install. Says it has installed several times in the App Store but is also still available for download. Have checked Safari itself and the version is still 8.0.

Hi Linc


I have the same problem - Safari 8.0.2 and a couple of other updates not installing. I just tried reinstalling the OS and it did not fix the issue. Have also tried the other suggestions about the cache etc.

Not sure if it's significant but I noticed when I click update, the download indicator flashes quickly across, the app button shows as installed then reverts to Update.

No solution for me yet. I have:

  • Reinstalled Yosemite
  • Cleared Safari web history
  • Deleted various plists from the Library (including for App Store and Safari)
  • Started in Safe Mode

All without luck. Now, in addition, Safari is extremely slow. I am using a late 2011 MacBook Pro. Safari 8.0.2 installed fine on our 27-inch iMac.

Do you have a link to the Apple support page where this download is available? I have scoured support and App Store and can't find any download for Safari 8.0.2 (or any recent version). My impression is that Safari has to be downloaded as part of the OS, but perhaps that applies only in certain countries. I am in the U.S.
