Internet won't work. Safari message: Your copy of safari is missing important softwar

[theman123]

Internet appears connected (ethernet) and everything says it is connected. But that is the message that appears when oppening Safari, and internet apps like ooVoo and the iTunes store do not work.

"Your copy of safari is missing important software resources. Please reinstall safari"
THis is the message.

Help?

2 solutions!!! (lucky you, hehe)
Solution 1:
Go to user/applications
Right clcik safari and click get info
At the bottom un lock the lock and give all useres read and write permissions
Close the get info window
Download appdelete, appxleaner, appApper or anything of the sort
Drag safari in and bc you changed permissions it should (if im not mistaken) work
Redownload from apple.com/safari or from a time machine backup





Solution 2:
Although i am typing it, i would use it as a last choice as it involves Terminal and sudo commands, so only for those that are 'tech savvy' or 'UNIX enlightened' or what er you wanna call it. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL!!

This completely erases safari. Now i you have a time machine backup, restore safari from when it was working. I you dont have a backup, just reinstall from apple.com

In most cases, app removal software doesn't do a thorough job of finding and removing files/folders related to deleted apps. For more information, read this. If you just want to delete the app, drag the .app file to the trash. No other software needed. If you want to completely remove all associated files/folders, no removal apps will do the job.

The most effective method for complete app removal is manual deletion:
