Folks,

I'm new...

I've tried twice to upgrade from safari 3.1.2 to 3.2 and twice it's froze. My machine restarts and them about 10% into the install process nothing happens.

I waited and waited and waited and both times I had to force a re-start.

Any ideas?

Thanks - Tony, Glasgow

I just did it using Software Update. Is that how you approached the upgrade?

The only glitch I had was that after the Mac rebooted, the cursor would not move. This might be unrelated, because it has happened at other times. I simply unplugged the mouse and plugged it back in, and here I am, using Safari 3.2

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Yonkers can have better TV reception.

Thanks for the reply.

I've tried Software Update twice and I've went in through the Apple site too but still the same nothingness!

Try creating a new user (make it an admin) and run the update from there. If it doesn't work, you may have to run Disk Utility to verify/repair the hard drive.

I am running into exactly the same problem. I can install anything else, even stuff requiring a restart.

Just when the installer starts working with the Safari install it stops at 'configuring the install' and sits there forever until I restart manually.

I have never seen anything like it and it isn't disk corruption.

Well I solved this for me at least..

I had AdBlock installed and uninstalled that, then threw out the already downloaded update from /Library/Updates/ and re-ran software update.

Downloaded Safari again and restarted. It installed without problems. Not sure whether it was AdBlock or a borked download that caused this to begin with, but there you go.

Folks, I'm on 10.5.5 and I don't have AdBlock.

I've just decided to scrap it.

There must be a conflict somewhere but I can't think what.

Thanks
