I have lost my address field in Safari -how can I get it back

I have no address field in Safari any more. Only my home page comes up and I cant write over it to get another web page. Also google search bar disappeared.

I doubt you'll get off so easy, because it's probably the "H0" bug.
My self-made cook-book solution is to close Safari, and pull out the com.apple.safari.plist file from the ~/library/preferences/ folder.
Re-start Safari to generate a new preference file. Tadahhh.... And don't forget to re-toggle your auto-fill if you depend on it.

Why are white letters "BF" in a red square in my address field of Safari?

My address bar has the letters "BF" in white font within a red sqare at the beginning of all addresses. Why?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Address field has disappeared on Safari

The address field on Safari 4.1.3 on a Mac running 10.4.11 has disappeared. Worse, there is no function for open location and the keyboard command will not work either. I can only go to websites that are bookmarked.

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click View / Customize Toolbar.
Drag the default toolbar or individual items straight up to the toolbar area in your Safari window.

FTP protocol in address field

I am able to log into and obtain files from a web site by using this command in Firefox:
ftp://[email protected]:[email protected]//[email protected]:[email protected]
Can any one tell me how the same thing can be done using Safari? As it stands, this command does nothing in Safari.
Oddly, when I try the statement ftp://[email protected]//[email protected] in the address field of Safari, Firefox opens! Then I get 'Authentication Failure' from Firefox, but that is unimportant. I was trying to find some form that would work in Safari. The Help in Safari doesn't contain any reference to FTP.

presumably Firefox or an add-on to it altered
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
some setting via Firefox-Tools add-ons or even Firefox-Preferences-Applications may allow resetting that
or
an ftp app will likely offer you the option to use it as the default ftp handler instead,
or use rcdefault app from
http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/
or edit/trash the launchservices.plist & restart

Safari address field not displayed

An address field used to appear at the top line of my Safari page. The address field is now missing and I'm unable to enter any url. I can surf the web only by clicking on existing bookmarks. How can I recover ?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Safari 2.0.3

Hi rsquare,
Try either toggling View menu -> Show/Hide Address Bar or select View menu -> Customize Address Bar... and drag the entry box back onto your Address Bar.
Hope that helps.

Where did Safari address field go? How do I get it back?

My Safari address field disappeared> What happened? How do I get it back?

If you notice the Show/Hide Toolbar menu it has a hotkey menu equivalent. You probably accidently clicked the hotkey which is what toggled it off in the first place.

Right-click into the toolbar (= where the "address field" was) and select Customize Toolbar.

I have lost the address field on the safari page

I have lost the address field from the safari header. How do I restore this?

I finallyfigured this one out. I couldn't get the customize screen to do anything until I tried to drag nothing. It worked. My first Mac was a SE and I thought I was pretty good on Macthink, but an additional direction would have helped immensly.

Jump up to Safari address field

This may be common knowledge but I missed in in the features guide until after it happened and I then re-read the guide.
To jump back up to the address field when you have scrolled down a page just tap on the grey status bar at the top of the screen.
I wish I had read that back in November.

Thanks! That's news to me, I obviously missed it in the guide too.
cheers

How to visit a pasted url in address field?

This may seem a naïve question:
Some background: I have never used Safari before. I have just installed *Safari 5.01* for Windows on my *Windows 7 PC*, and when I *+copy and paste+* an url for a particular existing web page into Safari's address field (which url loads successfully in Firefox, Opera, and IE ), I find I have no *go to* or load arrow, or other means, such as pressing enter or return, to make the browser load the pasted address. When I press Ctrl+L nothing happens, whether from the drop down menu at File: *Open Location...* or as a double keyboard command.
And so I resorted to importing a bookmark for the address from IE, and then Safari loaded it successfully.
Can I not just copy and paste addresses into Safari's address field and have a *+simple next step+* to load the page as I can with IE, Firefox, and Opera ?
I tried typing part of the address in manually for Safari's autocomplete to find it, but it wouldn't find the address, which is very new, but does exist, and as I have said, loads in the other three browsers with a simple paste and enter. This *+copy and paste+* method happens to be a very convenient means of loading some sites, with only one option being available, that is the exact address, rather than possibly several options that are offered up as one types part of the address, which have to be looked at and chosen from.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks … allaniam

*I confirm a similar bug exists on Safari 5.0.2 for Windows, running on a 32bit Windows XP SP3.*
Description
1. You copy an URL, not matter how you copy it (copy the URL text, or from another browser address bar, or from a webpage using the contextual menu "Copy Link", and etc)
2. When you try to paste in the Safari address:
===(i) if you use keyboard shortcut Control-V to paste in the URL, and press ENTER - everything is normal, meaning you will leave your previous webpage and go to the new page with that URL you pasted in using Control-V
===(ii) if you right click on the Safari address bar, invoke the contextual menu that popups from there, and choose "Paste" from the menu,and then hit ENTER after you paste in the new URL:
*======(A) the new URL you pasted in will disappear.*
*======(B) the old URL before your paste, will re-appear in the address bar.*
*======(C) the cumulative effect this operation will be the same that you reload the previous page.*
This is the symptoms on 32bit Windows.
*It seems in the current build of Safari for Win, "Paste" command from a menu denotes something different from its shortcut "CTRL-V".*
This is a very weird thing.
Just for the record, Safari 5.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.6.4 doesn't share the bug.
*By the way, I have also surveyed the exactly version and build numbers for both the Safari versions:*
Safari 5.0.2, build 7533.18.5: on WinXP 32bit
Safari 5.0.2, build 6533.18.5: on Snow Leopard.
