Bookmarks Bar totally empty all of a sudden

Today I noticed a weird thing on my iPad 2: Safari's bookmark bar was totally empty! It's there but it's empty! All bookmarks in it gone. And I almost always use the bookmarks in that bar!
I went to my MacBook Air: same thing! Empty!
I went to my iMac at home: guess what -- empty!
Holy crap! Thanks to some wonderfully sophisticated cloud thing or MobileMe thing sync seems to have screwed up the bookmarks bar!
It's still empty and I'm afraid to open my MacBook Pro and open Safari because I might be too slow to stop MobeilMe syncing from replicating the error to that MacBook Pro, too!
Is there any help? Any idea? Anything I can do?

That's not good...
On either your MBAir or your iMac, open System Preferences then select MobileMe. Select the Sync tab.
Make sure: Bookmarks is selected. Click Sync Now
If that didn't help, click the Advanced tab. Now click: Reset Sync Data
If that didn't help, click your Apple menu (on your Macs) then click Software Update.

My menu bar is missing all of a sudden. How do I reinstall it? The one that has "File, Edit, View, Favorites, etc". Thank you.

The top bar is the one w/ refresh, X, home then the bar to type in websites. The menu bar used to be below that, now it's gone and I have a bar that says, "Most visited, Free Hotmail & Windows."
I had several sights saved in my favorites for my home based business and I can't get to them now. Thank you.

Buttons in the Bookmark Bar

I use Safari 5 on my Mac and on Windows. For some reason my bookmark bar buttons are all squished on my Windows S5 so that the names on the buttons do not show properly.
Is there a way to fix this? Is there something like an INI that I can delete that would reset the button sizes on the bookmark bar? I hope this does not happen on my Mac as well.

HI Richard,

Maverick has messed up my computer. Slow scrolling in I photo. Bookmark icons are blue all the time and not marked with the company symbols. I cannot find out how to solve this.

I switched to Mavericks two weeks ago and have had nothing but troubles. Scrolling in I photo is slow and very inaccurate. When I click and drag a photo the ones above it all flicker, making it hard to find where to put it. My bookmarks bar Icons are all blue. Before they used to show the symbol for the company they represented. Now I click on one, it changes to what I want, then a few minutes of hour later, it goes back to the blue ball, which I hate. My font size is different with every page and I have to click Zoom in all the time. I tried adjusting it in Preferences in Advance settings on the right, but this does not solve the problem permanetly. I have one web page, a hockey one, which tries to load, then I get either a black page or a white one. Driving me nuts. I need some help. Been to Apple at the store, talked to them on the phone for four hours last week. Rebuilt the I photo library with no luck. Would appreciate any help. Please Thanks. I even keep a fan behind my computer to keep it cool, that is how much I look after this baby. Some say it might be Safari? Not sure. I have little computer experience, so please it you are kind enough to reply, do not use tech talk or short forms as I will not understand any of it.

Rick,
I have a few of your issues as well: 1) Safari popular icons are all bue making them very hard to distinguish from each other. 2) My font size is also different with each page / window. What I have been able to find out is that in the Maverick OS - Apple removed one size of display resolution 2048 x 1152. Whether this is the cause of my 27" screen clarity & font size issues, I do not know - but it seems like a contributing factor. Maybe help is on the way - maybe not. Cheers

The machine where I am seeing this unfortunate behavior is a Windows XP SP 3 based system with all other updates applied to it as needed. So I don't think I am missing at patch or something along those lines.
I have also tried removing my bookmarks.plist file and the com.apple.safari.plist file both of which where in my profile folder and this did not help either.
If anyone else has seen this behavior and knows how to resolve it. Please let me know. Otherwise, I really like the new Safari, just need this one issue resolved.

All of a sudden I can no longer open a new tab using either the icon on the tab bar, the keyboard short cut or the File menu option. I can open a new tab ONLY by clicking on a bookmark or link.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

How do I replace bookmark bar that was lost when a new Mozilla Fox Start page suddenly appeared with a Zone Alarm Community Toolbar, and nothing I have so far tried, working with "Show all Bookmarks", works ("Unable to process the backup file).

My current version is 6.0.2. A box appeared a few days ago informing me of an update to 7 (x?). I declined for the time being.
Then a Start Page just showed up missing the bookmark tool bar. I tried to import a bar from another browser. Nothing showed up. Then, I went to "Help". First, I clicked on "About Firefox" where I was informed of an update. This time, I tried it. When I clicked on "Apply Update", I received a message; 'Update could not be installed" despite there being no other Firefox browsers running.
I went back to "Help" and clicked on "Firefox Help". A page came up with the URL in place, but the page would not load ("Cannot find server at support.mozilla.com"). After several clicks on "Try Again" with the same result, I copied the URL and pasted it into a different browser, from which I am now working.
Before sending this question, I tried the two procedures ("Manual Backup" and "Restoring From Backup") found on Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import And Backup/Restore, using both "stored backups" from Mozilla's Profile folder and "Choose a file", as well as Bookmarks/Show ... /Backup. In each case, the response was, "Unable to process the backup file".
I had previously tried another method I found on Google which involved copying and saving a Mozilla backup file (this is the file I used in the procedure above - "Choose a File") found in the C:/Documents And Settings/.../Profile Folder, then renaming the original file "backup.HTML" and saving it in a folder one level up from its original location. The Bookmark bar was to show up after shutting down and reopening Mozilla - it never happened. I replaced the original backup file.
It occurred to me to locate the Bookmark File for this browser (Chrome) and using it in the "Choose a File" method, referred to above. But there is no extension included in the file name, and I was afraid to try it.
I'm out of ideas. Is there something else to try?

Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

All of a sudden I can no longer open tabs by clicking "+" or right clicking on the tool bar. To open a new page, I have to open a whole newFirefox window. How can I fix this?

Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help.

Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off. Still nothing appeared on the screen. I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black. However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed. In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on.
What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
gud luck

Can you remove the "View All RSS Articles" and Counter in Bookmarks Bar?

Hi There. I have a folder/drop down menus called "MyMix" in the Bookmarks Bar with several subfolders of pages I like to visit regularly. It's a silly thing but I get tired of the climbing counter of RSS articles in parentheses that sits next to it. Is there anyway to remove that functionality? I have a few other drop down menus that don't have the same problem, so not sure why this one does it. I've tried copying the folder and taking out each individual subfolder but it still keeps the RSS counter and "View All RSS Articles" link in there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Awesome, thank you. I should've checked preferences myself. Duh.
Still curious as to why it chose that folder instead of the other one's I have to display the RSS updates but I guess that will remain a mystery.
Thanks for your help!

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed to a lighter font. How do I change the font back? I'm not speaking of the font size/type in the web browser in viewing web pages, but the font in the application itself has changed. It's rather annoying and would like to be able to change it back! I'm running Safari v5.1.7

OK, Margie, here's what to do . . .
First Quit Safari.
Then Find your User's (Home) folder library.
It's hidden, but here's how you find the Home Library:
Click on the desktop to get the Finder menu. Then go up to "Go" in the menu bar, while holding down the option key.
You'll now see the User Library in the drop down list. Open it, then look for the Fonts folder.
Take the fonts folder to the desktop.
Restart Safari.
Any better?
(Warning: This is only for the Users/Home > Library > Fonts folder. Under no circumstances, should this be done with the SYSTEM > Library > Fonts folder.)

Status bar of Oracle from runtime applet is not displaying all of a sudden

Hello,
The status bar of Oracle form runtime applet is not displaying all of a sudden..It was displaying before but now its not......It helps me to see errors......how can I restore it?

My console was set to a specific window name..it was not null at all....but the status bar wont show...
But I solved it ...by changing the applet size...
Applet container size is controlled by the HEIGHT and WIDTH parameters in the formsweb.cfg. To maximize the applet area to the size of the browser, do the following:
HEIGHT=100%
WIDTH=100%
Thank you all for your help and support...
