Q: how do I update Safari if can't update OSX 2007 Macbook?

I have a 2007 Macbook running OSX 10.6.8. I can't update to later version of OSX because not supported for 2007 Macbooks. Can I update Safari separately? When I go to Apple site it only seems to offer Safari as part of OSX update which I can't do.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

2007 Macbooks are capable of running OS X 10.7.5 Lion. Get it here http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
You will need at laest 2GB of ram so you may need to upgrade that as well. You can install 4GB but your computer is limited to only use a maximum of 3GB. Look at the 3GB option here http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

If you need an updated browser, try Firefox or Chrome.

Hello susanfromesc,

After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to update Safari without updating the OS. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
