Update Problem

Hey guys, this is mackheads101. Even though I might seem like an Apple fan, I don't always agree with some things Apple does. So I'm just going to, um, discuss something that I really don't like, and I just want to hear your opinion on it.

So yeah, this is not a tutorial or anything, so feel free to leave now. Feel free to watch and give me your thoughts.

Okay, so I, like most people, like to be up to date with my software. I downloaded iTunes 9 yesterday. I checked it out; it's all great. All the new features work, except for this one thing. iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed on your computer. That's all right; I like to be up to date, so I'm just going to click Open Software Update.

Okay, so now Software Update is done loading, and it says all my software is up to date. I can try again later. So all right, I guess that's okay. I'm just going to go and download it manually. So I'll go to apple.com/safari/download, and as it says, Safari 4.0.3 for Leopard. So that's what I need, so I'm just going to click Download Now.

Okay, now the file is done downloading and it's on my desktop, so I'm just going to double-click on that. The DMG is opened up, and I'm going to install this PKG. Okay, I'm going to scroll down, continue, agree.

Okay, now this is the part that really bothers me: Safari cannot be installed on this disk because it requires Safari 10. It requires Mac OS 10.5 or newer. Now, if we look, I'm one of the many people who updated to Snow Leopard, which means I have 10.6. Not only is it newer, it is up to date. Apple usually likes people to be up to date, like most software people.

So, um, I think they should keep letting you be up to date on your things, and if they want you to upgrade, they should make the upgrade work. I just— I paid for Leopard, I downloaded the new iTunes, and now I can't use it. And I can't install the new Safari even manually.

So, I don't know, are you guys having the same problem? Just feel free to leave your thoughts. Thank you for watching mackheads101. Subscribe, and goodbye.
