MacOS – Is it still possible to run Safari 6 in 32bit on MacOS 10.8

Not everything makes perfect sense, but I believe this set of instructions will help you along.

Review the entire articles below:

• http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18872 - for the erase and reinstall
• http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201250 - for setting up backups once the restore is complete

Outline of the process:

• make sure the backup is safe and doesn't get erased. Also, be sure to not back up to this volume until your new OS has all the data you need since a new backup could cause older backups to be erased.
• boot to recovery mode and open disk utility
• erase the hard drive on your Mac
• install a clean copy of Yosemite
• make a test account (user name test-admin or something that isn't the name you used on the backup Mac)
• update all software on the Mac
• then connect the backup and use the Migration Assistant to move users and data. (you could move apps here too if you have any backed up)
• reboot and log in to your "old account" instead of the test-admin account
• verify the apps and data are there
• then, connect and make a back up of the fixed Mac
• delete the test-admin account and remove the home folder
• enjoy your success

That is the point of Private Browsing (Safari's calls it Private Browsing, Chrome calls it Incognito). When you use Private Browsing, Safari shouldn't be saving anything at all. The whole idea is that it leaves no trace.
