Back Button in Safari 3.1.2

I just recently got a new MacBook Pro, after my old computer died. I had been using the original Safari browser on it, and never had any problems.
In Safari 3.1.2, about once every ten times I click the back button, it rockets me back two pages instead of just one.
That's about my only qualm, but wasn't sure where to voice it.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Hi Rachel, My Double-Click Speed is set to two notches below fast. I'm still using the mouse that came with my eMac, so it's not a third party issue.
I've developed other bugs too. So I'm seriously thinking about just buying an iMac and forgo some puzzling and frustrating things going on inside my poor little eMac.
When I called Apple Support on the mouse issue, they suggested an Archive & Install, which I did. That didn't fix the glitch. Since then, Text Edit opens every time I restart my eMac with this -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<key>LprojVersion</key>
<string>220.1</string>
</dict>
</plist>
I don't have a clue what this is. I suspect it is Unix code, but can't figure out what it is related to.
I also lost, among other things, Printer Drivers. The driver for my Brother HL-2040 reinstalled in a snap and it is functioning fine. However, I cannot find the Kodak Printer Dock Series 3 driver in Printer Setup Utility after many uninstalls and installations.
Back in February, I started to have kernel panics. I scanned my disk and found over 100 bad blocks. I backed up my system to an external HDD, zeroed out my disk and reinstalled my system. About 6-7 weeks ago, I had a single kernel panic and none since. Taken together, all of this make me think that it is time to move on and get an iMac.
My apologies for hijacking this thread.

  • I somehow deleted my "back" button in Safari. How do I get it back?

    Two issues: 1st: I want to know how to take a snapshot of something on my desktop.
    2nd: In trying to remember how to take a snapshot I was just pushing buttons, willy-nilly, and somehow deleted my "back" button in Safari.  How do I get that back?

    It's not on my keyboard (that I know of).  It's an arrow on the bar at the top of my safari screen.  I'm supposed to be able to click the arrow to either go back to the previous page or go forward to the next page.  But I deleted it somehow.  And now I don't know how to get it back.  I found a solution in someone else's post: Safari, View, Customize Tool Bar.  I tried to do that but it doesn't work for me.  I dragged the back arrows to my tool bar but they won't stay up there. What do I do now?

    Cheryl...
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple. Safari folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try the back button.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

  • Can't click back button in Safari on Iphone

    I'm not sure at which update this began, but I recently realized I can't use the back button in Safari. It just stays dimmed, when normally once you navigate to a new page it illuminates and then you can use it to go back. This is very annoying. Any suggestions?

    Johnster .....
    I am getting the same icon that you are getting whether I use mobile Safari or iCab Mobile identified as Firefox or even if I identity it as mobile Safari. I wonder if that means perhaps the podcasts was not created correctly. However, I know absolutely nothing about creating a podcast.
    You obviously have been doing this successfully up until this point, but by virtue of the fact that I am getting the "No Plugin" icon in both browsers - whether viewing as a desktop browser or a mobile browser, I simply assume that there is a problem with the podcast.
    The podcast plays fine in my desktop Safari on my MacBook.
    Just so that you know, the preinstalled apps are only updated when the iOS is updated. There are never updates released for Safari, iTunes, the App Store and so on, except for the features that may be added when the iOS is updated.

  • No back button in safari

    Help! I no longer have a back button in safari (no page forward button either). I only have the + (add bookmark) button to the left of my url bar. All windows in Safari open without the < & > buttons...
    Any counsel would be appreciated.

    Greetings,
    Go to View > Customize Toolbar… and add those buttons back to the menu bar.

  • Trouble with back button in Safari, always resets to top of page.

    I am running Safari 6.0.5 on a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.5
    The problem that I am having is that every time I use the back button to my previous page it always takes me to the top of my previous page. All of my other Macs running Safari always take me to the point in the page I left from. It is a real headache to always have to search for where I was on my last page. I have gone through every preference I can think of that would be relevant and updated several versions of Safari with no change. This issuse is only on my laptop
    Anyone that has had this issue I would appreciate the help.

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Accidentally deleted back button on safari

    I accidentally deleted the back button in the left hand corner of my safari. HOW DO I GET IT BACK.

    Go to the View menu, then Customize Toolbar. Locate the back button and drag it back into the toolbar where you'd like it.

  • How do I get the back button in Safari to work again?

    The back button stopped working. I can only refresh the page. To go back I need to go up to History, and click back. I loved it when the back button worked. Any suggestions? I have a MACBook and Leopard

    For any of you who have had this problem... here is the real solution. On the upper task bar, Go to VIEW, open up CUSTOMIZE TOOL BAR, find the FORWARD AND BACK ARROWS and DRAG THEM UP TO WHERE THEY BELONG. How did they disappear?..... some accidental combination of keystrokes deleted them, I don't remember what that was. End of story and I am sticking to it

  • Programming Mighty mouse with back button for Safari

    Is there a way to program the mighty mouse so that the squeeze buttons on the side make it go back in Safari. Does it require a script. Are there any ready made scripts for that? (The keyboard command would be command left bracket.
    thanks

    Try the shareware mouse software, SteerMouse - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Why Shows my iPad Old Sites when i am using the back Button in safari

    When i am using Safari on my iPad for Reading a Onlinemagazin or Newspaper and i go into an Artikel and then use the Backbutton to go back to the Mainpage, it Shows me an Old Mainpage from Day ago!
    You have to  use the Refreshbutton to get the valid Mainpage again.
    Why?
    I also dont want that New MultiTabs, i want to Shut it off!

  • Help! Safari keeps telling me my Mac has a virus and now the back button won't work. Do I really have a virus and what should I do to fix the problem?

    Yesterday my MacBook Pro began running slower and now Safari continues to be redirected to a page saying 'WARNING: Your PC maybe INFECTED. Call TECH SUPPORT at 800-797-0153 to clean your computer. www.consumeronlineservices.com'.
    The back button in Safari now refuses to work, and I'm unsure if this is a problem with Safari or my laptop (honest to God, I know nothing about computers). Anyways, I tried to call the number given, but there was no answer, and I'm assuming this is the actual virus itself.
    How can I get my laptop running back to normal? Is there a way to check for a virus and remove it?
    Thanks!

    Do not respond to that message. There are no known viruses on OSX systems. What you are seeing is a total scam.
    Open Safari then go to Preferences>Privacy. Remove all Cookies and Website data. Set the Block Cookies option to Block 3rd Parties and Advertisers:

  • Safari 6 is slow when hitting the back button

    I notice that on Moutain Lion Safari appears quite slow when I hit the back button.
    Say I'm on some news site, click on a story but then want to go back after 10 seconds, it appears as if it's loading the whole site where I came from again.
    Is there some setting to change this?
    Also with version 6, it appears that Safari is really waiting for each and every object to be finished before displaying anything.
    I think this kind of was always the case with Safari, but before on Safari 5, it felt much quicker here and I'd appreciate some rendering before every image is loaded.

    Same here. After clicking the BACK button in Safari I get old copies. I am using Ipad 16GB wifi-only.
    Issue started with IOS5. It worked fine before.
    When the old page is shown, a refresh helps as workaround. Untill Applie fixes it.

  • Safari Back Button - Broken Again!!!

    In a previous post, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9724856 I was able to restore the back button functionality by doing a complete reset on my 1G iPod after the Safari Back Button became permanently disabled. This happened shortly after upgrading to OS 3.0.
    It has now happened again, and this time I know the step that caused it. I was on Wikipedia and clicked a hyperlink to another wiki page. The link generated a 502 Bad Gateway error. At this point, the Safari Back Button became permanently disabled.
    I guess I have another full reset to do again.
    Marty

    After doing another full reset, the Back Button on Safari was activated again. BUT!!! Now after using it for a day, it's gone again!!! Arrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
    Is there any way of going back to OS 2.x? This never happened over the last 1.5 years of using OS 1.x or 2.x on my 1G iPod Touch.

  • Where is the back button on iphone 5?

    Hi, new to iphones.
    When I open an app like email, text message,  often I find there is no way to go back one screen other than hitting the home button to end the app.
    Am I missing something here?
    Is there a back button like Safari has but for the phone operating system?
    Thanks

    For Mail and Messages it's in the top left corner and it is usually labeled with the page your going to go back to. There is no back button like Safari in those apps.
    Hope that helps.

  • I lost the back arrow on safari on my macbook air.

    I cannot find the back button on safari.  It was here before.

    Look under the View menu at the first two items. The first one is either 'Hide Toolbar' or 'Show Toolbar' and it is probably 'Show Toolbar' since you are complaining only about the loss of the back button and not everything. The second item is 'Customize Toolbar'. I suspect that you somehow removed the arrows and selecting this option will allow you to either drag the default toolset or to drag specific items down onto your toolbar.
