Deleted Safari from Apps

I tried that and after the install, it said that my MacHD did not meet the requirements.
Haha...I wish it was still there...Unfortunately no.
Is anybody familiar with the nightly builds? Can i use those to get the App back without risking the computer?

It was just sent to the trash and then emptied. I got Firefox onto the system, so we do have a browser now, however, she was kinda attached to Safari.
That's probably because you don't have Safari 2.0 installed.
I suggest you get the Mac OS X Tiger DVD out and you should be able to install single applications from that.
Otherwise you could do an archive and Install (don't worry the documents won't be touched and neither will the applications).
And that is one of my problems...She can't find the Tiger DVD. Any advice on the archive and install? I have no idea how to do that one.
Here a link to download Safari 1.2:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/safari.html
That should work. If not, I got to it by going to:
www.apple.com/support/downloads
Then did a search for older versions of Safari.
Hope that works.

Not true. I definitely did it under Tiger.
You need the DVD I'm afraid.
You can pay to get Apple to send replacements, but it won't be free. To be honest you might as well buy Leopard which adds new features like Time Machine, and means you have an OS DVD in case you need it.
EDIT: For this there is another way download Pacifist and use that to install Safari from the disk image. And don't delete anything from the applications folder again
.You may have to delete the Safari.pkg and the Safariupd.pkg found in /Library/Receipts/Safari.pkg or the installer will think you already have it installed. Maybe just try moving them on the Desktop, before deleting them.
You can try that although I am not sure it will work. You may still have to move it out of that folder. Not sure because those .pkg file are a bit too small.
You probably downloaded the Leopard version instead of the Tiger version, try again at:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/safari311.html
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/safari311.html
Nope, made sure I got the one for Tiger. I tried the link to the Safari 1.0 download, but that DL didn't work either. If I don't have the DVD, How am I supposed to use Pacifist?
I've also deleted Safari...oops
I found this thread, but it wasn't very helpful [Mod note: Then why didn't you post there]
Anyways, I have a new 2.4 Ghz iMac, and somehow the safari icon showed up on my desktop under the mac hd icon. I figured it was just an errant shortcut, and dragged it to the trash and emptied the trash. After that, when I tried to reopen safari off the dashboard, it would not open, and a question mark appeared over the Safari icon.
I went into the hardrive, and it appears as though Safari had dissapeared from the applications file folder. I tried doing both an application only install and a full install off the provided recovery disk, neither of which restored Safari. I know that I can download Safari off the Apple website, however, I now have no browser. Any ideas for another way to get Safari back on? I could download it on my Dell at work and transfer the safari file if anyone thinks that would work. Thanks for your help in advance.

Failing that, you could always do an archive and install from your OS X DVD.
One way to prevent being able to accidentally delete things of importance is to have your normal account as an normal limited account and have a separate Administrator account for those occasions when you absolutely need the extra privileges. At the very least this will mean that you will need to authenticate with username and password to delete or move anything from the common Applications directory. Also means any malicious programs you may happen to run are rather more limited in the damage they can do.

Download it at Work and transfer sounds like the best approach. You'll also probably need Pacifist which is in the other thread.
