Looking forward to your reply.
My reply:
Applejack before an OS upgrade? Not unless you think something's broken.
This is what you do on a seemingly healthy Mac before jumping from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5: Check that the machine meets the minimum requirements; Check the System Profiler to make sure that the client doesn't have PPC apps that s/he needs to replace; Check backups; Check SMART Status; Verify the disk with the DU and if you're in the mood and really paranoid, repair permissions while you're there.
That's it.
All your "utilities" and Applejack? Not a move that a pro makes unless he's convinced that something's wrong and if he's convinced that something's wrong then he doesn't jump two OS versions.
A pro charges by the hour and completely unnecessary time-consuming "utilities" should never come into play nomatter how gullible and needy a client is.
BTW: You can probably fix that Safari problem - and the other problems that you created - by trashing the contents of ~/Library/Caches and rebooting.
