Safari...

[sharpie13]

My safari kept on freezing on me so i decided to download firefox to see if it was any better. anyways.. in the end (and this sounds stupid) i deleted safari and emptied the trash, forgetting that it was in there.

now i want to switch back to safari but i can't install it. so i thought maybe i needed an older version first. so the farthest back i got was Safari 1.2 but everytime i get to destination select, is says that i can't install it because the software requires MAC OS X 10.3 or newer butttttt....
my mac is OS X 10.5.2. what do i do???

-thanks

Hello and welcome to mac-help.com. You can reinstall Safari with your OS disks, and can upgrade if you'd like from the Mac website. Let us know if that doesn't help or you need more info.

the problem is that we got our mac secondhand for real cheap so the problem is that we don't have any of the discs for this computer. is there any other way i can get safari? or is it possible to use discs from a different mac?

You'll need to buy a new system disk for not only your current Safari problem, but for troubleshooting or reinstalling later on. I don't know why people don't sell the system disks with the computers, but you probably want an upgrade anyway... you are pretty helpless without that disk, and it's an easy fix with it. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

You shouldn't need the installation discs just to install Safari again, just go to http://www.apple.com/safari/ and download a copy of Safari from there.

Let me know how it goes..
