Problems with Safari & Software Update in OSX 10.5.8
MacPro G5 dual 2.0
I don't know if this is a hardware or software problem. I updated my FireFox to 3.6.4 last night and it recommended installing the new Adobe ( I think Flash). Safari windows will not open, Software Update fails to function or even open. I had heard something about Adobe and Apple having a tussel. This is unacceptable. Has Adobe put the screws to me? Anyone else run into this problem?
It was install_flash_player_osx_ub(2).dmg Just downloaded Safari 5.0 and will try installing again. Re-install failed.
It probably is Adobe http://blogs.computerworld.com/adobe_fla... The question now is how to fix it. I download and ran Flash uninstaller and the problem persists.
UPDATE - I used the amnesia to remove flash, firefox and safari. I then reinstalled the Safari. It opens but no window and can't log into Apples software update. I would use migration assistant to restore the older versions but they're on an intel MBP and I don't know if that would work. Any suggestions would be welcomed at this point. I used migration assistant to move the Library from an old system on a second HD and it restored my ability to use Safari again. Software update still does nothing.

I did the same Firefox update but the Adobe update would not work. Went to their web site and updated from there without problem. I have not tried Safari however but will download it and see if it works. Ralph +

maye you should try to uninstall firefox and possible fragments of the flash player with amnesia. i used amnesia a few times and it worked pretty well
