How to Update Safari on Mac

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Make sure your Mac can run OS X 10.6.

   You can't update Safari on OS X
   10.5 (Leopard) or earlier, so you'll need to upgrade to at least OS X
   10.6, which means your Mac must have at least one gigabyte of RAM.
   
   You can verify this requirement by clicking the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the screen, clicking About This Mac, and looking at the number next to "Memory". , You can buy a hard copy from Apple's store (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard), or you can search for "Mac OS X Snow Leopard" on Amazon.
   
   Snow Leopard is the first rendition of OS X to run the Apple App Store, which is necessary to update to newer operating systems such as Yosemite or MacOS.
   
   You can also use the App Store to update Safari. , To do so, insert the Snow Leopard CD into your Mac's CD slot (it's on the left side of the Mac's housing) and follow the on-screen instructions.
   
   You will have to restart your Mac during the installation process. , It's an apple-shaped icon in the top-left corner of the screen., After a moment, you'll see a window pop up with several update options., You can elect to update to a newer version of OS X (e.g., Yosemite) from this window as well, though doing so will take some time., This button is in the bottom-right corner of the "Update" window.
   
   Doing so will install each item next to which you placed a checkmark., You may need to restart your computer during this process.
   
   Once the installation is complete, your Mac's version of Safari should be up-to-date for OS X
   10.6, and you should no longer encounter error messages when attempting to access pages or software in Safari.
