Can no longer hide toolbar/address bar in safari 7.0.1

Since I own the smaller 13" macbook, I was very impressed with the full screen version of applications Apple introduced...whenever they introduced them -especially safari. I always enjoyed that I could go full screen, hide the address/toolbar, and have only the thin line of tabs at the top, being free to cmd-L whenever I wanted to use the address bar, it going away afterwards. It really freed up a lot of the screen, making me less aware of how small it is.
I can no longer do this. When I right click on the toolbar - there use to be an option to "hide toolbar" - now there is only "customize toolbar". Under the "view" tab the option to hide the toolbar is grayed out (I still have the option when I'm not in full screen mode). Additionally, the old cmd-option-| doesn't work anymore either.
What gives? Am I doing something wrong, or is this purposeful? If so, is there any way I can get back to the older version of Safari that had this option?
thanks a million,
b

You can't hide the toolbar in full-screen mode. That's the design. Before you ask, I have nothing to do with Apple and I don't know any more than you do about its design decisions.

I can no longer get my address bar, back or foward buttons, tool bar, menu bar or anything else. How can I restore?

When I open Firefox I do not get an address bar only Google comes up. I don't get a back or forward button nor do I get the tool bar or menu bar. There is no default button. I read the forum but I can not make any corrections because I don't have a tool bar displayed. I am using 3.6. When I turn off my computer and then turn it back on, the default settings still do not return.

It is a long while since I tried Google Toolbar, I am not sure what it changes. But I would not expect it to totally remove your options to use the ordinary toolbars.
■ Try
* press the''' alt '''key on the keyboard, that may return the menu bar
* once you have the menubar '''View -> Toolbars ->''' and select which you need
* you may also use View-> Toolbars -> Customise and drag items back or use the restore default set option.
* right clicking on the toolbars also gets you to the customise and show toolbars options
■ have a look at [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]
PS
I hope you do not need to resort to editing registry settings, the firefox 'dragons' in prefs are user friendly compared with Windows registry. Messing up firefox prefs only really affects firefox normally; whereas errors in a registry edit may prevent you from even booting the computer.

I can no longer use the address bar to change websites. I can block text with the mouse and input a new URL but when I hit the enter key or left click on the right arrow it has no effect and the page does not change.

Also Ctrl+Enter no longer adds www+.com to words entered in the address bar. I can use bookmarks to change to other web sites or my password manager. Re-booting my laptop makes no difference. Please help.

Hey CaptRobyn,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. It might be related to an extension. Then you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
Hopefully this helps!

I can no longer see the address bar, the back button, etc. What can I do to restore them?

I cannot enter a URL, or move back to the previous page. This started just this morning.Yesterday it worked normally.

hello ralph, please see [[Navigation buttons like back, home, bookmarks and reload are missing]].

I hid the address bar with a right click option, and cannot seem to get it back, how can I do this?

I was watching some TV on the WB, and their player doesn't have a 'pop out' option, so I opened it in a new window, and hid the address bar with a right click-> hide option or something along those lines, and now I can't seem to get it back with the same methods, nor can I find a way to access properties or anything. All I can see are the tabs I have open and the bookmark bar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

There are different solutions depending on kind of the problem.
Keyboard:Alt+V,T,N
Navigation toolbar, including address bar, should appear
Then
Keyboard:Alt+V,T,M
Menu bar, including File, Edit, View, should appear
Right-click the bookmark bar
Click Customize... in the context menu.
In the Customize Toolbar window which appears find the address bar (It will be shorter) amongst the buttons here.
Drag the address bar by mouse onto the main window, where you want it to be.

I can no longer hide passwords under toolbar/options. What to do?

I can no longer hide my passwords - under toolbar/options/security. They continually all show up and I'm afraid someone else may be able to see them as well. The option to hide passwords no longer appears.

Are you using a master password?

I can no longer hide my purchases in the new version of iTunes

Since Apple removed the automatic download option for available episodes, I've been navigating my purchased list A LOT. I still don't understand why this option disappeared for passholders, a stupid and consumer-unfriendly move. But now not even the hide button seems to be working anymore. What is up with that? I have the newest iTunes version and I can no longer hide purchases I regret and don't want to see in my list anymore.
I click on the x and nothing happens.
Anyone else have that problem?

View > Show Sidebar or Ctrl+S. Your device should be on the left like iTunes 10. Do the results change?

How do I change the size of the address bar in Safari in Yosemite?

I'm hating all this blank space. Plus, I work with many open windows and am constantly copying and pasting links into the address bar in Safari, so it works better for me to have a longer address bar. I've already poked around in Preferences and the Customize Toolbar, but maybe I overlooked something. Does anyone know if this can be changed?

Yes. I tried deleting the spacers, moving the spacers, removing and re-adding the address bar, and nothing. All it does is add blank space to the end (And actually that picture got cut off. There's space on the right side too). I tried adjusting the space, but I don't think I can do that either?

What happened to address bar in safari under Mountain lion

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday. Now, in safari, I no longer have an address bar. In customize toolbar, I see there is only the option to add/have 'search google or enter an address'. So have they combined this field? If so, in the old address bar field, there was a star to click on to add the page to our bookmarks, which opened the list and let us choose a folder. I no longer have that option.
Any help?
michelle

It is now a unified address and search bar. there is a + button in the Customize Toolbar in the View menu item. This will allow you to choose what folder to add your page.

Lost address bar on safari

I have lost the address bar on Safari. Any help getting it back?

Hi mbert and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Are you talking about the Address Book not being bookmarked? If so, read on:
If your address book isn’t bookmarked
If you don’t see your address book listed as a collection in your bookmarks library, or the Address Book Collection doesn’t contain any websites, the information here may help.
Here are some things to try:
■
Choose Safari > Preferences and click the Bookmarks tab. Make sure that Include Address Book is checked. You can add the address book to the bookmarks bar, menu, and/or library (as a collection).
■
In your address book, check to see if any of your contacts have websites listed in the “home page” field. If no websites are listed, there are no home pages to include as bookmarks.

How do I delete memorized sites from address bar in Safari?

Hello,
I already read a lot of similar questions but didn't really find an answer. And I'm sorry if something is not well written as english is not my first language.
I'm trying to completely clear my address bar in safari, which still shows the same suggested sites everytime I write the first words of them. (For example, if I write "y", it shows me a couple of specific youtube links)
I tried deleting history and datas from safari settings, removing everything from the autocomplete menu, I deleted all my favorites and I also tried that turn off- turn on option. But they still appear everytime I start writing on safari.
I think they're somewhere memorizad on my ipad but I really didn't know it. Do u have any ideas about that?
Thank you!

You said you have done Settings > Safari > Clear Histoy. You might try that again.
Also try Settings > Safari > Clear cookies and data.

My favorite folders not showing up under address bar on safari in my iPad Air. I do have the tab set to on under settings. The folders are still there for me to save to just not visible on safari anymore, help! tried to fix for days. Thanks

My favorite folders not showing up under address bar on safari anymore on my iPad Air.The folders are still there for me to save to just not visible, I do have the tab under settings, safari, set to on to show the favorites, and did reset the iPad, thanks

Quit all apps (Double tap the Home button and swipe the preview page up for each open app) then Reset (Hold the Sleep/Wake & Home buttons until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears - no data will bee lost)
Make sure you have your Favorites selected properly here: Settings > Safari > Favorites

I no longer have any toolbars, address bar or any access to any usual functions. How can I restore these functions in my browser?

All functions are gone from the top of my browser - no menu bar, no tool bars of any kind, no address bar... nothing. Right click or left click - nothing to use. How can I restore these common functions?

'''F11''' to get you out of FullScreen mode?
If you hid the Menu bar and the Navigation bar - hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.
