Back Forward arrows not working properly Safari 5.1.2

After upgrading to Safari 5.1.2 on Snow Leopard, I have run into a bug with the back and forward arrows. Most of the time they are greyed out and not working. I have to move back and forward with either the keyboard shortcut or the menu. Sometimes one or the other starts to work, but it is not clear why. I have not seen both working yet.

Here is what comes up (a lot!). I feel like the days of "Conflict Catcher" with MacOS 9 and before! Anyway, it is late here, maybe where you are, too. Thanks for all the quick replies. I need to get some sleep and will come back to this in the morning.

When Firefox 3.5.16 is opened in OS 10.6 on Mac, the bookmarks and history are missing as well as back/forward arrows not working.

I have a laptop running Firefox 3.5.16 and Mac OS 10.6.5. I used my computer last night without any problem. This afternoon, I had a USB modem plugged in when I started my machine and at first Firefox said it couldn't connect. After removing the USB modem, I restarted without it in the machine, then connected to the Internet and started Firefox. I had a Firefox error message about bookmarks not working due to another application using them. I checked the troubleshooting pages, but for the most part they applied to a Windows machine.

I finally found a solution. In about:config, under browser.sessionhistory.max_entries, I changed 5 to 20. End of problem.

Back arrow not working in Safari

After a recent Maverick update, the 'back' arrow in Safari mostly will not work. I have to go to 'Home' and start all over in my searches. Very frustrating and a major waste of time. Can anyone suggest what to do to fix this so I can use the back arrow each time I need to? Thanks much.

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.

Go back arrow not working in Safari

The Go-Back arrow in Safari is not working. How can I fix it?

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.

My bookmarks & browsing history has disappeared. Backward & forward arrows not working. How can I get this back working?

Message I'm receiving from Firefox is "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because on of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem." I have not made any changes on my computer. I did uninstall and reinstall Firefox but bookmarks and history system still not working. I am using the latest version of Firefox on Windows Vista.
Thanks

This indicates that there is a problem with the file that stores the bookmarks and history. Re-installing Firefox does not by default remove the profile folder where that file is stored.

My back button does not work in safari. How do I fix it?

How dod I correct the fact issue of my back button not working while surfing the net. This happened after I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

Are you trying to use the Delete ⌫ key for back-to-previous-page? The latest Safari doesn't support this. You can use ⌘[ or ⌘⇠

WRT54G2 - Port Forwarding is not working properly?

I have a WRT54G2 model #1 with firmware Version 1.0.00 setup as a static IP address connection from my data provider. The router provides service to an Internal IP network of 10.50.6.___. The connection is working properly and I am able to access external IP's from all internal computers. I am attempting to have all inbound traffic on port 9100 forwarded to 10.50.6.49 (a network printer). I set up port forwarding and enabled it according to previous posts in this forum, and I see the inbound traffic in the log, but nothing appears to be getting to the printer. I am able to ping the printer from the router, and print to it from internal PC's. I am fairly new at this process but know enough to be dangerous. How can I tell if the traffic is actually being routed to the printer or is getting lost in the router?
Thank you!

Hey try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!

Navigation (Back/Forward) buttons not working in Firefox

I'm tring to put together a Browser Based help guide, and for the most part it's working as intended... except for the navigation buttons within the help guide themselves. By that I mean...
Those guys. The way I would assume they work is that they provide back/forward navigation between topics as you move through the guide, but they don't seem to be functional. As in, they do nothing, ever. They don't even act clickable.
(The forward and back buttons provided by my browser do seem to work, but I'd like to get these working, as well.)
We're testing mostly in Firefox 13; we've also tried IE 9, and the buttons work correctly. Any ideas?
(output is from RH9, for the record)

Hi there
It's odd that these would work fine in IE. To my knowledge, they aren't there to navigate from visited topic to visited topic and back. Unless I'm mistaken, they are there to traverse one or more Browse Sequences that have been defined.
Cheers... Rick

Does the browser back/forward literally not work?

Does anyone else find the Browser/Media tab so frikkin annoying?
I'm browsing through folders to find samples to put into my project and everytime i go back, it goes back to the last folder full of samples i was in, rather than literally going 'back.'
It literally doesnt work!
I also find that we need favourites like Ableton does.
And... the right click on the home icon and selecting 'set current folder as home' only works whilst you have that session open. When you close and reopen its forgotten!
Bah Humbug APPLE!

Spry or regular hyperlinks in a list or nav configuration. Either is better than Flash buttons.
Thing is, a search bot will read the HTML in those kinds of links (spry or HTML) and index them. That way if you have an event calendar for upcoming shows, or a discography page, it can find them and will be able to make a reference to them in later search engine databases (usually about 72 hours after the indexing). With the Flash buttons there is no code for the bot to find and your upcoming events, or a downloads page if there is one, will never be seen in a search even if people look directly for "fireonmcginnis: schedule", or "music by fireonmcginnis" because to Google, Yahoo, Lycos and the others the pages simply don't exist.
Spry is great if you have submenus, and since it can be customized using CSS, you can make it match your site layout. You can also do that with regualr hyperlinks and CSS, but spry has a more appealing look to a lot of web users and the submenus are a little harder with basic HTML.
For the record the script should read: getURL ("http://www.site.com/page.html" "_self"); for the buttons. There'a s drop down to select _self, _blank, _parent etc. when you add the getURL script to the button.
But... you need to stay away from Flash buttons for navigation or you're really defeating the purpose of putting a band on a website in the first place. It's about exposure and Flash buttons will severely limit that exposure, even if they work properly.

Back button is not working properly

Navigation back is not possible to the first page. the defect was found with firefox 4 beta rc1.
Open fresh page and open any website. Click on any link which navigates you to new page in the same tab. Back button is not active and coming back to the first page is impossible, however from second page onwards problem does not exists.
My understanding is the stack holding "back" links is not storing page 0 but all.
Should be simple enough to fix. It has cost me lot of important links.

The back button will take you back one page. If you need to go back further than the first page then simply right click on the button.

Links to safari not working properly -- safari doesn't display page on top

I just did the latest upgrade.. but notice that if I choose a link from within an email - it opens safari - but the safari page is hidden by the email screen.. the safari page is not viewable without choosing it from the "window" menu item. At first I thought the links from email were not opening safari at all -- then realized that the safari page does open --but it does not come to the forefront of my screen - as it used to...

I called applecare and they recommended re-installing the update directly from their site - apparently a lot of issues with updating from the software update via apple menu. So I did - and have the same problem. my husband has it also on his macbook.
I discovered that it's tied to the "space preference". If I turn the space preferences completely off -- my links from email do open up correctly in safari. If I turn the preference on (not including mail as an application" - the problem resurfaces Which is that when I click on a link in an email - the page does not appear in the forefront in safari.... it gets "hidden" behind whatever page safari is displaying
Has no one else had this issue but me (and my husband). I don't really use the space preference anymore -- but this is definitely a new issue on my laptop.

Youtube is not working properly Safari 6.0.1

Hello Experts,
I'm having issues to watch videos in Youtube using Safari 6.0.1 I have currently running on OSX 10.8.2.
Time to time youtube videos stop playing in the middle, it seems that it is a flash issue, but I'm also using the last version. I tried using chrome but the same issue appear.
Do you have any idea how can I fix this?
Thanks and REgards

Thanks for reply chrisfromgastonia.
I am not sure about resetting my phone, will it reset to factory setting? I will loose everything in that case.

Back Up Disc not working properly

I backed up all of my purchases and had my computer sent in to be worked on, knowing when I got it back it would be erased. I only put a movie and a TV show on the disc and the movie went onto my ipod just fine. I am trying to add my episodes of Vampire Diaries in HD back onto my Ipod Touch but it says this content cannot be played on my ipod. Yet they were all on there before. When I attempt to make an ipod version it just freezes itunes and doesn't create the version. What do I do to make it work so I can add it to my ipod again?

When you download an HD TV show you get both the HD version and the SD version.
It's the latter that goes on to the iPod.
If you did a full back up right click on the show and select SD from the drop down menu.
