Address bar not showing up in Toolbar

Safari was accidently deleted from my MB pro.  Im running OSx 10.6.8 with safari 5.0.5.  I was able to install it again using the install disk and checked for any software updates but it still is not showing up in my toolbar.  I searched and tried the view/customize to drag the default set to toolbar, made sure show toolbar is selected etc, but still no middle section of toolbar.  When I would try to drag the default set to toolbar nothing happens.  The toolbar area is being shown, with the left and right arrows (on the left) and the google search window shows (on the right), but the center white window to type web address' is not. 
Any suggestions...thanks

Hi...
MIght be corrupted preferences (.pllist)
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
Im running OSx 10.6.8 with safari 5.0.5
If that didn't help, try updating your system software. 5.0.5 is outdated for Safari.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update ..
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.

  • I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks. Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't help. The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.

    The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
    Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == the Firefox is being used

    I think I have a solution.
    First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
    Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
    Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
    This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
    I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
    Wa-la...History Gone!!!
    As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
    Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
    Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.

  • How do I get address bar to show up on tabs? How do I stop computer from immediately redirecting me to newly opened tab?

    Apologies for my ignorance, first off. I am using a new laptop and want the settings to be the same as those of my former laptop. However, I have no clue how to adjust settings. On my former laptop, the address bar was always displayed on each new tab I opened. Also, when I opened a new tab, I was not redirected to that tab. Instead, I was able to remain on the website I was using when I opened the new tab. So, how do I get the address bar to show up on all webpages and how do I stop the computer from immediately taking me to each new tab I open?

    You can use:
    * Tools > Options > Tabs: [ ] "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"
    You can toggle this setting for specific links by holding down Shift and middle clicking or Ctrl left clicking a link.
    Do you mean that the Navigation Toolbar gets hidden?

  • How do I get the address bar to show the url of the site that I'm on?

    In the old version of firefox, the address bar would show the url of the site I was on. When I would change tabs, the address bar would change to reflect the url of the tab. In the new version, the url of the current site will not show unless I hit the identity info button. This is really frustrating because I want the url to show up automatically, instead of showing the last thing I typed or the last site that I was on. If there is a way to fix this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

  • HT202570 My buisness address does not show up on apple maps as a correct address.  The address is 1351 summit drive jasper AL 35501 and we have been here for 8 years.

    I have been at my buisness for 8 years and the address does not show up as an address in apple maps on any of my devices.  How can I fix this? My address is 1351 summit drive jasper al 35501. 

    @Kilgore-Trout, there is no "contact us" at the bottom of the Apple Map. All I get is report the problem...move the pin, which I have done numerous times. Google maps gets it right & due to that fact, we have to tell vendors to NEVER use Apple Maps when getting directions for deliveries. I love apple, own all their products and now my BMW i3 is using their maps & I would love to have them be responsive.

  • How can I get the tabs back where they belong beneath the address bar , NOT on top ???

    how can I get the tabs back where they belong beneath the address bar , NOT on top ???
    they are on top, which puts the address bar at a variable position depending on how many tab rows exist - makes a moving target for navigating to across my dual 24 inch screens
    I tried your "solution" using about:config and setting browser.tab.on.top or whatever to false, but that had NO effect
    Maybe because TabMixPlus is installed?
    It does allow putting the tabs all the way at the bottom, but I don't like that either.
    PLEASE, give me the address bar at TOP with tabs under that!!!
    Also, I don't want FlashGot to be at the right of the address bar!!!

    why should we use yet another add on to get the tabs back at the bottom? Big mistake.
    Moreover, why make FF look more like Chrome? If I wanted Chrome, i would have installed it long time ago.
    FF 29.0 is NOT an improvement.
    Nasty piece of mud.

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    How do I send an email with a group address and not show the addresses/names of the recipients?

    Use BCC.   That's blind carbon copy.   And copy paste the address into the BCC field.  It really depends what e-mail program you use how to enable BCC.

    In my MacBook Pro(10.7.5), finder is crashing after logging in. It is showing crash report with Relaunch option, when i click on Relaunch option finder is working properly but i am unable to see Top bar(Apple logo, Date and Wifi etc... bar). Even in safari address bar, TextEdit not accepting any text means when type something not showing up and also i am unable operate any thing from keyboard. Plz help me…..

    One thing that you can try is installing a 'fresh' version of OS X Lion. Boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the command and R keys whilst booting) and elect to install OS X from the Recovery screen. You need not erase your hard drive and you should not lose any of your data.
    Oh, and just as a precaution, I would use Disk Utility, once you're in Recovery mode, to verify your hard drive before trying to install the OS again.

  • Using Firefox 4.0 Beta 4. When I open a link in a new window, the web address does not show in the location bar. Why?

    When I open a web page link in "a new window" the link opens, but the web page information does not appear in the location bar. It is blank. If I open the link in a new tab, there is ho problem.
    Further, if a open a link from the tab without a location in a new tab on the same window and then go back to the original tab, the location bar fills with the web address.
    Have done this starting in several locations, so it not location dependent.

    That behaviour is likely top be caused by an add-on, and in your case the likely culprit is IE Tab 2, the various versions of IE Tab have caused problems with Firefox 4 beta including issues with the location bar not being updated.
    You can test to see if IE Tab 2 is causing your problem by disabling it and then seeing if the location bar in a new window shows the address. If it is not that add-on causing the problem, see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
    For info, the IE Tab Plus add-on has been updated recently to improve compatibility with Firefox 4 beta, you may want to try that one instead. The latest version is available from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html

  • URL address is not showing in the address bar

    Since few days I have noticed in the address bar where it show such as https://yahoo.com is not showing but it says "search or enter address". However it open the desired web as in this case yahoo.com.
    So far, some time address appears and some time not.
    Any advice or help will be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hello Jaya Kumars,
    Thank you for the detailed reply. I ran Firefox in safe mode and it worked fine. Then in normal mode as per my doubt I disabled Ghostery and restart Firefox. I have noticed after few attempts Firefox is showing url link.
    Screen shot added for reference.
    I am not sure if Firefox will work fine or not lets see.
    Thank you

  • Why are sites not showing URLs in address bar or showing incorrect URLs?

    I have just noticed that when I will open a tab and view it the URL for that tab is incorrect. It shows the URL of another site instead of the URL for the site I am viewing.
    Example: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/error-8.jpg
    As you can see on that screenshot I am viewing the failblog but the URl showing in the address bar is http://input.mozilla.com/sad when it should be that of the failblog. No matter how many times I refresh, close/reopen same site, close/reopen firefox, the problem persists.
    Now some sites aren't showing a URL at all: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/error2.jpg
    As you can see in the second screenshot the URL is missing in the address bar.
    You see, when I wanted to share a link with someone today to an image of two cute piglets it kept showing me the URL to an online game instead in the address bar. This is obviously not something that is suppose to happen.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
