    I didn't have any problems with Safari after updating to 10.5.4. Have you tried using Firefox? Does it work?

    Exactly that... go to your  menu... select "Location" from the dropdown menu... then select "Automatic"... then restart your Safari and try browsing again.

    To make it easier, use Locations. In System Preferences -> Network, click on Location at the top of the window then click on Edit Locations... Click on the "+" to create a new location. Create a new one, e.g. School and configure it for your school network.

    Once you've created a new location, you can easily switch between them by clicking on the Apple logo at the upper-left corner then selecting Location.

    Hi! I also have problems regarding on the installation of Safari. I'm on 10.5.4 btw. So, I finished downloading the Safari .dmg file from the Apple website. When I was asked to select the volume in which Safari will be installed, I selected Macintosh HD, and then there's a warning sign saying that "This Safari update requires Mac OS 10.5.2 or newer". So, I can't continue to the next step of installing. Argh.

    It's weird because may macbook's on 10.5.4 already! lol. Any suggestions? I really want to install Safari :)

    Have you done the usual drill? Repair Permissions and Disk Repair from Disk Utility.

    Yup. I'm done with the Repair Permissions but I still can't install Safari :( I'm still getting the same message (This Safari update requires Mac OS 10.5.2 or newer)

    EDIT:
    Some users can't install Safari too http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1584440&tstart=0 . I think I've found the solution to this problem based on this site.

    Thanks for the help Gomi :)

    How about slowing down of safari. I noticed that after the upgrade of the os safari slowed down. My MSI wind surfs faster than the MBP now.
