Any ideas how I might solve these problems?
Yea, quite a few. But in all your missive you didn't bother to say
which OS you're using or even what the original problem was! We
ain't got eyes inside your Mac. If you won't tell us what's going on
then there's not that much we can offer other than sledgehammers as
possible solutions.
A few months ago I downloaded an update to Safari and had some sort of
trouble with it, so I went into Time Machine and got back the earlier
version and continued to run it.
"some sort of trouble". See above.
"Time Machine" arg. I am honestly beginning to HATE Time
Machine. It seems to fark more things than it fixes!
Ok. My mood aside...
Safari is NOT just an .app file. It uses a LOT of shared frameworks,
that are strewn all over the OS. You CANNOT restore Safari simply by
fetching a single piece of it.
At this point, you've farked your system files and there's no telling
how Time Machine updated your backup correspondingly... So, presented
for your use is a Windows Solution -- REINSTALL.
Step 0 -- Trash both versions of Safari.app you have. Empty the trash.
Step 1 -- Remove all the odd InputManagers and Plug-ins you've installed.
Step 2 -- Apply the current COMBO Update for your OS.
Step 3 -- Run Software Update and let it install the latest Safari it offers.
If you still have difficulties then provide more complete information
here, so we can actually assist you instead of making wild-a**
guesses.
