I am testing some website for cross-browser support, but mac OS does not support older versions of safari once you updated you system.
How can I run old Safari on mac OS Mountain Lion?
Like here but there are no newer versions and some of them doesnt run on my OS as well.
It's not much help but there are services such as http://spoon.net/browsers/ that let you sandbox any browser you want. The downside is that you have to pay $12/mo. if you want to use the older browsers.
I don't think there is a solution here…as Safari 5.x uses RSS plumbing from Lion and earlier and is not in Mountain Lion (i.e. things that Safari 5.x needs to run successfully are not available at the OS level in Mountain Lion).

I am not using beta Xcode software. I have always been able to submit to the app store regardless of mac osx version, as long as I used the latest GM Xcode release. All of a sudden, from what I can tell, a few days ago itunes connect is now failing when submitting for review.
Before you respond by "You cannot use beta software to submit applications to the app store" please read the official copy from Apple.
Submitting Apps Apps that are created using beta versions of Xcode or
that are built for beta versions of operating systems will not be
accepted on the App Store and Mac App Store. Apps that you submit
should be developed using the latest version of Xcode from the Mac App
Store and should be built for publicly available versions of iOS, OS
X, and watchOS — except when GM seeds are available. When a GM Seed of
Xcode becomes available, use it to develop your app for submission.
When GM seeds of iOS, OS X, or watchOS become available, build your
app for these versions.
Nowhere in this text requires you to build ON publically released versions of OS X, and has never been the case.

Xcode 6.4 is no longer supported on El Capitan.
I can't even launch Xcode 6.4 on El Capitan anymore.
I want to use the latest OS X on my Mac Pro and work with iOS 7. Will I have any problems if I update my Mac Pro to Yosemite?
No that won't be a problem and you can even use Xcode 6 with the iOS 8 SDK and simply make the deployment target iOS 7.
However if this is your only machine you are in danger of breaking your only programming resource; better is to install Yosemite on a spare partition and leave Mavericks in place until Yosemite is more stable. You can then dual-boot as required.
You won't be able to install Xcode 5 on OSX Yosemite via the app store "because the version of OS X is too new". I'm not sure what happens if it was already installed when you upgraded though.
Maybe you can burn OS X Yosemite to a USB Flash Drive, here is a good example:

Is it possible to update iOS simulator to the latest version of iOS? Now it is 7.0.6, but my simulator is 7.0.3, I have XCode 5.0.2 and updated all downloads in Preferences.
Apple has not released any further 7.0.X SDK than 7.0.3. The reason for that is because the API has not changed, and neither has behavior changed significantly enough to warrant a new SDK release. 7.0.6 in particular is only a security update and would not be applicable to the simulator at all; the simulator uses the underlying OS X infrastructure for network connections. You should wait for the upcoming OS X security fix.
You can, however, download beta releases of Xcode 5.1 with 7.1 beta SDK, and make sure your app is ready for the upcoming iOS 7.1 release.
the simulator is definitely still vulnerable to gotofail even on macs that have been updated with the security fix. this is easily testable by using it to browse to gotofail.com on osx 10.9.2: https://twitter.com/visnup/status/444992820915363840
I have a macbook air 2011 version and have 10.8.x installed on it. I used xcode 4.6 to develop an app, I tested it using this machine and worked perfectly fine.
I want my app to support 10.6 (snow leopard) and 10.7 (lion) as well (I set my deployment target to 10.6 and base sdk to 10.7) , so in order to test it, I compiled my app using my macbook (again, 10.8 mountain lion) and copy the app to my other 10.6 machine (hackintosh).
Testing on 10.6 is a pain in the butt, I have learnt a few tricks tried to make the testing easier (ie. implementing redirectConsoleLogToDocumentFolder so that all NSLog will be added to the console.log), however sometimes my app will cause a segmentation fault, which can't be caught by try catch, and I really had no clue what caused the problem.
My questions are:
1. how to easily test my app (with ARC enabled) on a 10.6 machine without xcode? I have installed xcode 4.2 on snow leopard, however it doesn't support arc and couldn't compile, even I downloaded the 10.7 sdk and put it into my xcode folder.
2. are there any other tricks you can share with me, to make the testing on 10.7/10.6 easier?
Does anyone know where on apple.com I can get the latest Safari? IE, Chrome, and Firefox all have "latest" version but I can not find a similar for Safari.
I would have guessed here, but no go.

You can't simply download Safari for OS X. You can get Safari updates that run on your installed OS X through the normal Apple Software Update or through the APP Store (I guess since 10.8).
Safari 6 is available for Mountain Lion and Lion only.
The latest version for PC is Safari 5.1.7. There's no version 6 available for PC. You can download it here: Safari 5.1.7 for Windows.
Safari for Windows is no longer developed. Since all links in existing answers are dead, or do not provide expected information.
I would like to provide a working link here -> SafariSetup
