Bigger search/tool bar

I have increased the size of text in all apps but can't find a way to make the tool/search bar/icons larger. The icons in the dock were easy to magnify but after 2 days of trying I can't find a way to make the search bar bigger.........HELP needed please!

The only way I know to do that is to lower the display's resolution via its prefPane.

How do I add Norton safe search tool bar ?

I did my best to follow some other posted related questions and instructions on installing Norton (safe search) tool bar, but was unsuccessful. Help, please !

I'm no computer genius, but not a total idiot, either. I've spent the better part of (2) days trying to install Norton search safe toolbar on the supposedly latest version of Firefox, and now I'm only just one step closer to seeking mental therapy !!!! I've done the best I could with forum suggestions, and even chatted with Norton directly and followed their instructions, but still no toolbar.....there has to be a better way !! Maybe Firefox should try using Internet Explorer's program that was pretty much a 'no brainer' even for me !

How do I uninstall the Nation search tool bar?

I have run MacKeeper and all seems well
Yikes!
Many users will see references to an application called MacKeeper on various web sites and via pop-ups (and even re-directs) on their browser. Not only is it expensive for what it purports to do (freeware applications that do the same or more are readily available and in fact make up a large part of MacKeeper), it can sometimes install itself without the user realising it, and it can be very tricky to get rid of.
Most positive reviews of it have been found to have been paid for by Zeobit (developers of MacKeeper) in the form of ‘free upgrades’ etc. For example (posted by fellow contributor Softwater), on their Facebook page and on their webpage they have this apparent endorsement from UNC Charlotte:
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-18670779-12515 7/450-259/Screen+Shot+2012-06-17+at+17.04.04.png
Softwater contacted the Director of IT at the College of Arts and Architecture UNC Charlotte, about whether they endorse MacKeeper and his response, quoted here, was:
No, please do not download and install MacKeeper. We have seen problems with this software in the past.
MacKeeper has been described by various sources as highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system, adding that it is unethically marketed by a company called Zeobit, with a history of making false advertising claims backed up with paid-for reviews, and a rip-off. One such opinion is:

Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware can be read here:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
MacKeeper have recently said that the uninstaller from here:
http://applehelpwriter.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malwa re/
now works.
This is also worth reading:

Equally phoney was iAntivirus:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=341
until it was purchased recently (May 2012) by Symantic (makers of Norton anti-virus which does not work well with Apple OS X). Even after having tinkered with it, iAntivirus still fails to do the job properly and cannot be recommended.
There are no viruses that can affect Apple OS X and there is therefore no reason to run anti-virus software on a Mac, but a Mac, like all computers, can transmit viruses and malware to other users particularly those running Windows. Note, however, that Trojans are another matter and can represent a genuine threat, an example of which was the recent 'Flashback Trojan' which you can read more about here:

My web search tool bar taking over FIRE FOX

I HAVE HAD TO UNINSTALL "FIRE FOX", BECAUSE OF A TOOL BAR CALLED "MY WEB SEARCH". WHEN I UNISTALLED FIRE FOX, I WAS ABLE TO RE-INSTALL IT USING "GOOGLE" AS MY TOOL BAR. BUT WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE "MY WEB SEARCH" TOOL BAR CAME BACK, AND AGAIN I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP TAKING OVER FIRE FOX, EVEN WITH MY INTERNET OPTIONS. WHEN I CONTACTED "FIRE FOX'S" SUPPORT ON {1/17/2012}, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME! TO REMOVE WHAT THEY SAY IS A VIRUS! I THINK THIS IS STUPID, AND I HAVE UNINSTALLED " FIRE FOX ", AND I WILL NOT USE IT AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THE VIRUS....

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

When I downloaded Firefox 4, I lost my Norton Safe Search Tool Bar. How do I get it back?

When I downloaded Firefox 4, I lost my Norton safe search toolbar which not only told me what sites were okay to look at, it also contained all of my logon information for various sites and now, all of that is gone.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Google tool bar search super slow... due to Safari 4???

aloha kakou,
so ever since i installed safari 4 my web browsing has been less than pleasant... but i did some research and found how to uninstall safari 4 and reinstall safari 3 using this discussion http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2035320&start=0&tstart=0 using posts from orca_bay (tanks buddy)... (WARNING!!! do not use the terminal method if you are not comfortable with it... one typo will create hours of trouble shooting... i speak from experience hahahhaa)
although moving to safari 3 has resolved most of my problems/personal preference one still exsists... its a minor problem which i have already found a work around for but, i just want my damned safari to work the way it used to... so here is the problem...
problem: using the google search tool bar in safari is suuuuuuper slow!!! new searches always time-out and if re-entered take at least 10 seconds to return a result... i know its minor but super annoying... i am wondering if there is a way to reset the way the tool bar accesses the site??? idk anything would help...
*here is the work around i found:* don't use the google toolbar for search... if i go to google.com and perform a search it works just fine...
*here are things i have tried to remedy problem:* re-installing safari 3.2.3, resetting safari
alright folks... thanks for reading this post and i apologize if there are post about this... just so you know i have looked and couldnt find anything... and if you could kindly point to the post instead of telling how dumb i am i would appreciate that as well... hopefully someone can help me...

There are a few things you can try:
Add DNS server codes to your Network panel. Inefficient codes from your Internet Provider (usually these guys are PC oriented) can slow Safari down. Here's how to do it in Tiger:
Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
-Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the location drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
-Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Depending on whether you use Ethernet or Airport (wireless) for your setup: check the one you use and move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply". Everything else ought to be unchecked unless you use a Bluetooth device.
-Back to the "Show" menu, select either "Ethernet" or "Airport" (whichever applies to you). Click on the TCP panel. There, enter (copy/paste on separate lines) 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 in the DNS servers box - these are Opensource DNS codes and select "apply".
Next step: Trashing cache and history type files:
In the Finder: Your User Account>Library:
Caches>move the Safari folder to the trash
Caches>Metadata>move the Safari folder to the trash
Safari folder: move the History.plist file to the trash
Restart Safari. Let me know if that speeds things up, especially eliminating the lag in Google Search.
I have found Safari 4.0.1 to be very fast, especially after using the above DNS codes, and making sure any 3rd party add-ons were up-to-date.

Since updating to 3.6.1 I don't get an empty browser window in my tool bar whe. it opens --- just a list of search engines. I can't find anything in "Help" or the FAQ's that seem to address this. My only choice seems to go back to Safari.

I am not sure what your problem is, can you give more details.
One possibility is you may be in full screen mode, for details on fixing that see the [[menu bar is missing]] article.
If you are missing various toolbar items, see the [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article.
If your problem is something else please give more details.

I have no tirefox tool bar or search bar at all. Can't figure out how to get it. Using windows vista.

Since updating Firefox, I have no tool bar / menu bar / search bar. All I have at the top is my fox news radio tool bar.
I can't figure out how to get the tool / menu / search bar at the top of my screen. So... I can't search from Firefox.

The alt key or F10 will reveal hidden toolbars. Then use View- Toolbars to turn them back on.
Then press F9 when in a write window to turn on the contact sidebar for access to your address books.

Query in Tool Bar Area Searching option.

Hi All,
There is a tool bar Searching iView with us.But when any user searches through it, the search option is working fine.But the results shows files with open folder and details option (as we do not want some user go inside details option and change the permissions settings of that file).Can anyone tell me how can we remove open folder and details options??
Regards,
Udit

Hi,
The UI Command Group resposible to show Open Folder, See Also and Details Commands is SearchSingleItemGroup.
So open it and remove the browse_from_here and SingleDetailsGroup(expanded) UICommands.
choose System Administration --> System Configiuration --> KM --> Content Management --> User Interface --> Commands --> UI Command Group.

The add-on you are looking for may no longer be available.
Do you remember its name?
Go to the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]''' {web link}
(There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

Firefox tells me it can harm my computer and when I accept it it says that maybe I don't have permissions to access it. It all started when I accidentaly installed "Babylon" search engine tool bar, when I removed it, the system started blocking Firefox

I accidentally installed the Babylone search engine tool bar while dowloading a program and when I realized that Firefox had been substituded I tried to get back and even ran a restore for the system. Since then, everytime I try to reisnstall Firefox, there is a message that says that Firefox can harm my system and when I ignore it, it says that maybe I don't have permits or licenses for it. I am frustrates as even the menu bar from my alternative search engine, Google Chrome, has disappeared.
Please write back and tell me what to do

You may also need to create a new profile in case more files were damaged by closing down Firefox that way.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

Firefox will displays no tool bars or address windowk ony a search window.

When executed, Firefox displays only a search window in the top screen bar -- no tool bars, no address window, no menu bar. The default home page is displayed.
I uninstalled Firefox, (leaving personal data preserved), downloaded and installed the current version. No change!

In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.
