olá!
Estou com o mesmo problema. Baixar a versão “Safari31UpdTiger.dmg”, extraí o arquivo “Safari312UpdPPC.pkg” e tentei instalar e não deu certo.

O meu mac é um G3 600

isis:~/Desktop root# installer -pkg /Users/bruna/Desktop/Safari312UpdPPC.pkg -target “/Volumes/Computador”
installer: Package name is Safari
installer: Installing onto volume mounted at /.
installer: The install failed.
isis:~/Desktop root#

If you can help me I would be grateful!

Hi Lukas,

Sorry for the late reply, but I just wanted to thank you for your help! I struggled a little bit with the correct input into the console, but in the end it worked! All my app’s are up and running again. So even an robust and “perfect” system as OS X can have his weaker moments, ’cause I would have expected these problems only with “Mickeysoft” from Mr Gates ;-)

Thanks!

Regards,
Yves

Hi Yves

With the console we were referring to the Terminal application which you find in /Applications/Utilities. Which pkg you should install depends on the architecture of your machine which you can check in the ‘About This Mac’ menu item in the Apple menu. If you’ve got a g4 or g5 processor the ‘Safari311updPPC.pkg’ would be the right one. If you have an Intel Mac you should install the ‘Safari311upduniv.pkg’.

Let me know if that worked.

Lukas

Hi there,

After numerous searches on the net, I finally bounced on your story here above which describes EXACTLY the same problem that I’m experiencing right now! Mail, Itunes, Adium, Safari etc. all don’t work anymore after an update from OSX..unbelievable!
If I click on the icon in the dock, it bounces one time and then nothing happens anymore. However since I’m rather a “Newbie” in the Mac-world, I would like to ask you a bit more explanation about the procedure that you are describing here above. How do I start up this “console”? Also in my latest downloaded dmg-file from Safari, there are two pkg-files: Safari311updPPC.pkg and Safari311upduniv.pkg? Ofcourse neither one of them install by using Finder…

I want to thank you very much in advance for your support!

Regards,
Yves
