Blue Progress bar

If anyone out there at Apple is reading this....
It would be very nice to have the blue progress bar back in the URL line to show the progress of a page load. It can really help to determine if there is something wrong with the page rendering or if it is the sending server just being slow.
Thanks

Hi Charlie
Welcome to Apple Discussion
I agree. The Blue Loading bar is much better visually then the small dial next to the URL. With that said....

  • Yahoo Webmail Blue Progress Bar Freezes adding attachments

    Using Mac OS X, Leopard 10.5.6 and Apple Safari 3.2.1. There is a bug when using Apple Safari with Yahoo Webmail. Whenever you attach a file (while composing a message), the blue progress bar (fills in behind the website address window) freezes. Everything continues working, but the blue progress bar freezes abouit half way. This always happens when attaching a file. The ONLY way to get functionality back is to reset safari. Also, if you open another tab, that other tab functions correctly even if the first tab (with Yahoo) is still frozen. All updates have been applied to the computer that are available. The blue progress bar is safari's way of telling you a website is loading.

    Hello,
    This issue only happens when using Yahoo Webmail while using the Mac version of Safari.
    Only a RESET safari returns normal operation to the blue menu bar.
    Here are steps to reproduce:
    1.) Login into Yahoo Webmail (The new version, not the classic version), compose a message, attach a file. The blue menu bar that fills in behind the website address will fill in about 1/2 way and stay there. You can continue to finish and send your email, but the blue bar stays frozen. If you open a new tab, the new blue progress bar works fine, but the first tab remains frozen. Again, everything is function. The only way to fix is to RESET safari.
    I have tried other accounts and computers. It even happens at the local Apple retail store. Oddly enough, this issue does NOT affect the Windows XP version of Safari.

  • What happened to the blue "progress bar"?

    What happened to the blue "progress bar" which was in the URL area?

    ...when I attempt to zoom in more than once ( usually is "required" by these old eyes), then everything on a given page re-scales (sidebars, images, etc. included) and the page view 'goes off screen' such that I must pan left and right to read every **** line of text - or whatever is on the page.
    Mark ~ From Safari's View menu, choose +Zoom Text Only+ — once that's been set, subsequently clicking the +Text Size+ icons will not change the size of the graphics, making it less likely that the page view will "go off screen".

  • Safari Blue Progress Bar and Yahoo Webmail

    I have noticed that using Safari with Yahoo Webmail yields the odd behavior that when you attach a file from your computer, the blue progress bar up in the middle of the safari window freezes at some point. Everything works, but until you reset safari, the blue bar stays frozen.

  • Blue Progress Bar - PLEASE

    I've stayed with Safari-4 BETA where I was able to restore the blue progress bar via a terminal command. Thank goodness... I've asked twice via "bug report" to re-institute the blue progress bar, I mean couldn't they just make it an option like TWEAK did?
    Here's an interesting one: You go to this site to give feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    AND SAFARI IS NOT A CHOICE FOR FEEDBACK!!!!!!
    Why not?

    Hi Steve
    but I must admit, I'm not sure what this "Post it in the Level 4/5 lounge" means- it does sound rather 'men in black' or "X-Files" to me but if it motivates Apple-- GREAT!
    Attaining Level 4 status - 8,000 points (4 bars next to name) gains access to a Lounge forum. In part, there is faster access to the Moderators, as well as a place to vet different issues affecting the forums. Nothing like a virtual hang-out joint to get a real feel for life.

  • Blue Progress Bar Doesn't Finish

    Greetings!
    For the past three weeks, Safari has been tempermental in downloading web pages. The blue progress bar will get maybe 1/3 across and stop. No twirling ball, no freeze-up, I can stop and refresh...eventually it works. Sometimes there is no problem at all.
    It seems to be affecting IE and Firefox as well. Mail has also seem to be having trouble sending messages periodically.
    I've cleared the cache, history, favicons...so maybe it's something from outside of Safari??
    Also, no Internet Regulating programs and I have a cable modem connection.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Has been running OK until today. When I started up, I got the
    light gray screen with the gray Apple logo and dial-thing. Then
    instead of refreshing into the blue screen with the startup progress
    bar (the one before the login screen), the computer refreshed
    into a light gray screen with four black rectangles (bricks) across
    the top of the screen. Haven't seen this described before.

    restart failed as already described.
    I did experience a Kernel panic a few days ago - but

    The only info I see in Console is for the successful startup, but

    Thanks!

    Update:
    Reinstall of the 10.4.9 updater using 10.4.0
    partition as startup disk resolved the issue,
    but Safari crashed whenever it encountered
    secure website "https" and it did not do
    that with the previous 10.4.9 installation.
    10.4.10 did not resolve the problem, but
    now running the new Safari and 10.4.11
    things seem OK so far.

  • If you want the blue progress bar back tell Apple via Safari

    This may or may not work but I figure it's worth a try. At least you can vent your frustration this way.
    Just use the report bug to Apple menu item under the application menu and send it to Apple.

  • Whatever happened to the blue "progress" bar in the lower right corner in previous versions?

    I found that bar to be very helpful to see if a site is working or how long it would take to appear in the browser window. Where did it go?

    We logged an SR for this some months ago (for 10.1.2.3.0) and support told us this is not possible with Oracle mechanisms. You can only hide the status bar completely.

  • When trying to do a software update I get a progress window showing "connecting to the update server" with the blue progress bar continuially scrolling. It never connects. What's my problem?

    The question has as much detail as I know to give.

    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You do not need to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Blue Progress bar back in Safari 5?

    Didn't Apple take that out at some point in version 4? I just noticed that it is back in Version 5. Maybe it was back before that.

    HI,
    It was brought back in Safari 5.

  • Safari 4.0 progress bar and Top Sites bugs (?)

    Hi there,
    I am having a problem with my Safari 4 and been searching for a fix since a few days but could not find a solution, so I hope there is someone who can help me out.
    There are basically two problems, I have with Safari.
    The first one is, that since Safari 4.0 there is a new kind of a "progress bar" which changes its color and is actually at first dark and then gets more light while loading a page. My progress bar is not chaning colors at all. It just stays dark all the time.
    And the second one, is that if you have a site on you "Top Sites" and click that, it fades in, so it comes nearer and gets larger until it fits the window. So, if you go back from that site to you "Top Sites" again, it actually should fade out and move back to its old position on the "Top Sites". And again, my Safari does not do that either.
    I don't know, if that is improtant or not, but I played around with the Safari 4 beta tweaks and changed the progress bar so I have the blue one in the background of my adress bar.
    I already tried to restore my old Safari from my Programs folder with Time Machine and installed the 4.0 again but still, it does not work for me.
    I know that these are not somehow critical bugs but it would be great, if Safari would just work, as it actually should.
    So, is there a way to fix that or reset Safari?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi
    Latest v of Glims (17) is Safari 4 compatible. Cooliris is functional, although a soon to be released upgrade will correct certain S4 related bugs. Tab Expose is not S4 compatible.
    There is no blue progress bar in Safari 4. In S4 Beta, Terminal code was used to bring that S3 feature back, however, S4 final has removed the related code. Hence, no blue progress bar. Instead, there's a spinning gear to the right of the Address Bar indicating the page is loading.
    Let Apple hear your sentiments about S4. Send feedback to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report bugs to Apple.

  • OS hangs at loading progress bar when restarting after Security Update

    I've searched for other people who have had issues with the Security Update, but my issue doesn't seem to have been solved. Here's the story:
    Just installed the new Security update. Shut the computer down for the night, started it up, and halfway through starting up it restarted itself again. It got past the grey Apple, the blue progress bar started loading, got to the end, but doesn't go anywhere. I've let it sit for 15 minutes, but no progress. The internal fan sounds like an airplane taking off, it just keeps going faster and nothing happens. Tried rebooting in safe mode, but it got hung up on the grey Apple and spinning wheel of death.
    Anything I can do from the Terminal to fix this?
    Thanks guys!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Have your tried:
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    Good luck.
