I wish I didn't have to restart my computer in order to update my browser. That's so... windows
i don't think many windows app installations ask for reboot nowadays neither...
who said it was a negative thing?
here's what i don't get.
why would ANYONE rate this article a negative?
there were 71 positives and 22 negatives?
how could a software patch be a negative thing when it addresses security issues, or for that matter for any reason?
i think there are just some apple haters out there that get a kick out of rating every article a negative.
if anyone rated it a negative what was your reason?

The problem is, if you threaten people, you're less likely to get any help.
And being a Mac user who has banned all Windows machines from the company and swapped the PCs over to Ubuntu, I can't actually help you - other than to say that Safari was fine in the early days, began using masses of memory and CPU capacity and recently has been somewhat less stable that we're used to with Mac apps.
If you really want to give it issues, open some thirty pages, each with more than ten Tabs! Do this with a dozen other apps running. Then open Google Earth. I experienced my first Mac crash in six years by doing this!
I'm not sure how downloads work in with Safari on a PC running Vista. But on a Mac, on the right of each download in the Download window, there's a magnifying glass. Clicking that opens up the window where the download has downloaded to.
You can set the download destination in Preferences, but I think the default is to the Desktop. My guess is that your downloads are there somewhere, and in common with many files in Windows, they're just hiding!
Do let us know how you get on.

I've downloaded it, but the only problem I've ever had with Safari (on on a Vista computer) is that I couldn't download anything from websites. The download window would never work, and the files would never open.
Any suggestions?
P.S. No Windows Vista bashing, or I'll have your heads.
New Bug in Safari 3.1.1?
I downloaded the Safari update tonight. For some reason, Safari not becomes unresponsive anytime I try to view a PDF document through Adobe Acrobat's Safari plugin.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? I haven't installed 3.1.1 on my MacBook yet to see if it also has the problem. Right now I'm only experiencing it on my iMac G5.

Until Safari quits taking up 400-500mb of ram after being open only a few hours I wont use it. The mem leak needs to go away. FF can be open for days on end and I never see it over 200mb.
Indeed thank goodness this can be used as another reason. I would hate to have to wait much longer for 10.5.3!
Safari is one thing that has worked flawlessly for me though

This F****d my MAC UP!
I have a first gen Macbook Pro, 2 ghz, 2mb ram, and 10.5.2.... AFTER updating to Safari 3.1.1 I have experienced hella lag and have had to restart my computer 4 TIMES! I am so furious!!!
I can use firefox and my mac works just fine, but the minute I open up safari my computer freezes and does not respond!
I even experience problems when I restart my computer... When I try to type in my passcode in the user entry box when the computer first starts up the rainbow beach ball comes up and stays for three minutes!
I have made an appointment with the apple store in valley faire and I am going to raise hell...

i dunno what all of you are doing but...
i don't know how all of you are getting crashes and all these bad experiences.
all of the replies i read that had a crash or whatever was using a mac pro, macbook pro, or what have you.
here's what i've got
PowerMac g4 350 (1999) upgraded to 1ghz with OWC upgrade processor
1gb of ram
ati radeon 9000 pro 128mb
OSX 10.4.11
and it's working just fine for me.
now maybe i'm wrong, but is it possible that you have some goofy stuff installed on your computers that could be causing problems or conflicts?
i'm just saying-if my computer is almost 9 years old and it runs great for me then why on earth would any of you have problems?

Have you repaired permissions, fsck -fy etc?
I'm running it on a 1.83 MHz MB P with 2MB RAM and it's slow but useable. I've also got 33 pages open all with up to 10 Tabs in!

Arnold: "stop whining!"
1) If you have a lot of plug-ins and 3rd-party apps, then wait until the 3rd-party developers update your plug-ins and apps before you apply Safari's update. These guys usually push out updates to their products within a few days of an Apple update. You'd think most of you would have figured this out by now considering how long most of you claim to have been using OSX.
2) Unless you are using dial-up, quit whining about the size the Apple updates are. You torrenters are too impatient if you can't stand a 20-second download from Apple. Lay off the Red Bull and Monster! Apple decides not to do incremental updates because a clean install is more reliable.
3) Finally, unless you are a software engineer and know what you are talking about, stop whining about restarting your Mac when you have to apply Apple software updates. Apple has a reason for this "inconvenience." I'm quite certain their engineers know more about how OSX works than 99% of the users here (mostly teenagers).
No wonder the PC folks call us snobs! Whining like this is like a 1st-class airline passenger whining about not getting the wine glass refilled fast enough. Yes, you pay more for a better service/product, but you're not the Queen of England. Cut back on the caffeine and try chanting "goose-frahbah." {/rant}

MBP Hangs on restart...
I updated, clicked restart then got an error message with the download. Now my MBP hangs on the restart & switches itself off after about 4 minutes of waiting to start. Can anyone help me bypass this to uninstall the update?

Its because Webkit is also updated and that is used by a lot of other apps which also need restarting. They could just restart those apps, but that isn't as simple.

You haven't been using Windows since 98 or ME, I see... Restarting Windows after installing updates is pretty rare since XP. I'd say it's on par with OSX. Only Linux offers less reboots, AFAIK.

idk, so far I haven't have many cases with my vista box. sometimes i leave it on for weeks..most reboot is for system update, which I try to ignore most of the time...
