Cannot add URL to favorite bar

Hello everyone. Since the so 7 update I cannot find how to add a URL to the favorites bar. If I was not already bald I would have pulled off all my hair. Please help.
Thanks, Marco Polo

When Safari is open, there is a symbol to the left of the search block. Click on that...the drop down menu has many options...including bookmark.

New Dell laptop. In Firefox I cannot enter url in address bar or search terms in Google - Have reinstalled, same result. Other programs work. Have done variousus scans - found nothing. Otto S., Toronto

In Thunderbird I seem to be able to enter partial account information but then I invariably cannot go further. The only utililities I have installed are those I have used before without problems. The present version of Windows has a popup utility that asks if you want a particular program to make changes to your machine. This is new to me (at least I think it is part of Windows). Again no such problem with other programs -- key board works fine.

Do you still see the Navigation Toolbar with the location bar and the search bar on it?
* Firefox > Options
* View > Toolbars
Try to open a new window to see if that works
* Firefox > New Tab > New Window
* File > New Window
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I need a lesson on how to use my 'favorites' bar on IPad w/iOS 7.

I have turned on the 'show favorites bar' in settings.
When I open Safari I see the 'favorites' bar ....but....when I tap on one it does not go to the site.
Instead it shows a tab with a name in it and if I tap on that name nothing happens.
How do I add to the favorites bar?
How do I delete from it?
Should I be able to tap on one of the listed favorites and go to the website?
I have tried rebooting.
I have tried powering everything off and resetting.
Neither helped.
HHEEEELLLLPPP,!!

Regardless of whether this bar is displayed or not, you should be able to access what is in the "Favourites" folder in a few ways.
Firstly via the Bookmarks link in Safari. This is the first icon directly to the right of the address bar. Pressing this will open your Bookmarks menu. If you see the word Bookmarks in blue select this and it will take you to the main bookmarks page, and the word Bookmarks will appear in black bold text. If you see Bookmarks in black bold text when first clicking Bookmarks you are where you need to be. The first link on here will be Favourites and have a star icon right next to it, click on Favourites and you will see what has been added to your Favourites folder - if anything. Also there is an Edit button in the bottom right of this screen, if you aren't going where you expected when selecting a URL in here press Edit, press the > arrow to the right of the favourite name, is the URL correct? If not change it, and click DONE on the keyboard - appears where Return key normally shows on the right-hand side.
If you are opening Safari and have no tabs already open or have already closed pages so none are open you will see icons that represent the contents of your Favourites folder displayed at the top of the page.
Also with a page loaded if you click in to the URL field then you will see these icons appear again, together with the keyboard at the bottom of the page.
Hope this helps.

Cannot add to favorites

Using IE11 with Win7 64 bit. Cannot add a page to favorites. Cannot import or export either. When I try to import or export I get to the window that says" Import/Export Settings" "Select the folder that you want to
export your favorites from" the window is empty. Also happens with Import favorites. Window is blank, no folders to choose. It's like Favorites is lost or disconnected.

Cannot add a page to favorites.
So the designed UI is broken. As a workaround can you drag a URL from the Address bar to the Favorites subfolder that you would have used the UI for? Note that there are two cases to test: Ctrl-Shift-I and having a Windows Explorer
window open at shell:Favorites (or a subfolder of it). E.g. you could have the Favorites folder open in Fullscreen mode open as a background window for a normal mode window and quickly drag wherever you leave a bit of the WE window showing under an IE
window (open in normal mode of course).

Can we get a "Add to Browser Favorites" URL from ABAP-side?

Hi,
via "Add to Browser Favorites", you can get a URL for opening exactly the portal page you are currently on. Is there any possibility
to get (or create/generate) the URL for such a page from ABAP-side? We have the requirement to send e-mails from the ABAP
backend with links (URLs) to a corresponding portal page (like the example below). This has to be done quite generic, mi.e. the server,
the port, the application parameters, etc. cannot be hardcoded but have to be generated in a generic way.
Thank you and kind regards,
Florian

Hi,
It is hard to know exactly what to suggest since I don't know the full story behind the process you are trying to implement. However I can make some suggestions:
1. Use short URLs. These can be configured in the portal and will allow for easier navigation. you will see this as a "quick link" parameter in the page properties.
2. Rather then hard coding any values use a configuration table in the ABAP system.
3. If the process starts in the portal you could have your portal application send the necessary data to the ABAP system so it could use it to generate the email (e.g. Server/Port/Parameters etc...)
4. If it is a dual stack system you may be able to leverage the co-existance of portal an ABAP on the same server.
5. What about using a web service on the portal to supply the URL to the ABAP system. You could call this web service from the ABAP and have the portal provide the data that way. This would be good if your process kicks off on the ABAP side and not via the portal.
Anyway, I hope some of those suggestions help.
BRgds,
Simon

I no longer get my bookmarks in my dropdown menu on my yahoo tool bar plus i cannot add or delete apps on my yahoo toolbar.i believe this all started w/ a firefox upgrade of some sort.

i no longer get my bookmarks in my drop down menu on my yahoo tool bar plus i cannot add or delete apps on my yahoo toolbar. i have emailed yahoo and they said it is not their trouble & to call at&t and i called att and they said not their trouble go back to yahoo .......but i believe this all started w/ a firefox upgrade of some sort.

I know you can't help with my Yahoo problem, however, apparently at some time in the past I have went to the Sync and tried to figure it out on both my laptop and my desktop, because I have the long snyc key information. However, when I go to try to sync both computers I never get the box to enter that key on either one. That is my problem. So should I try and get a new sync key and see if that works.

Cannot add items to DOCK. Dock bar near end?

I cannot add items to the dock and the dock bar is near the end of the dock listing. I cannot move the bar.

Please clearify...
You can move the doc with the Dock system preferences to left, bottm, or right. Or using something like TinkerTool vertically left side or right side.
As for adding items, generally applications are to the left of the divider (toward the right end) and other stuff to the right of the divider. You add stuff by dragging it into the dock and option drag it out to remove it (or control click and use the options contextual).
Are thses things not working for you?

Firefox 7 at launch get Windows error dialog "cannot find" URL

After upgrading to Firefox 7.0.1, on cold-launch of any URL via [Start][Favorites] menu, get *Windows* "cannot find" URL dialog BUT page DOES load in Firefox without problem. Cold-launch = Firefox not pre-loaded.
Still happens if I have IE8 open to the same URL prior to Firefox launch from [Start][Favorites].
I have tried suggestions on Help pages, did NOT fix.
'''UPDATE:''' Just got to work, and Firefox 7 does NOT have this problem.
'''UPDATE:''' Completely uninstalled Firefox 7, including \Apps Data\Mozilla folder, then reinstalled. Problem still there.

'''THANKS, the Registry edits worked.'''
Just unchecking '''Use DDE''' did not work, they just came back.
'''COMMENT:''' Wonder why upgrading to Firefox 7 caused this behavior, and just on my home desktop (''WinXP SP3''). This did '''not''' on my work desktop.
'''UPDATE:'''
Mentioned the my WinXP system at work did not have the problem.
Discovered that I did NOT have '''Empty Cache Button 1.9''' Add-on installed. AFTER installing it FF did have the same problem as my home system.
So it's the '''Empty Cache Button 1.9''' that screws-up the Windows DDE.

Items on Favorites Bar Automatically Re-Populate After Deleting Them

So after I delete an item from my favorites bar in IE11 it almost instantly reappears. I've confirmed the autocomplete setting for address bar and favorites is un-checked.
Internet Options>Content tab, 'Settings' button in Autocomplete section, UNchecked the options to use autocomplete for Address bar entries, including favorites.
I'm using IE11 with Windows 8.1, starting IE from the desktop (not from the start screen).
I've stopped and started IE, rebooted the PC. I've even deleted the 'Favorites Bar' folder in my profile; it too automatically re-appears. Next step I'm trying (barring a solution from the experts) is to uninstall and reinstall IE.
Should I also perhaps run malwarebytes (low-level virus checker/remover). I would hope the security features included with Win 8.1 and IE11 would prevent this from being a malware issue.
AAAGGHH - this is frustrating. HELP !!!

Hi,
What is the result if we delete it from the folder C:\Users\username\Favorites\Links, then clean the recycle bin?
please also refer to this KB, check whether it fits this situation?
You cannot remove items from a roamed Internet Explorer Favorites bar in Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2876504/en-us
And does this issue occur in one a particular item or in all items in the favorites bar? Test in no add-ons mode, click Tools>Manage add-ons, disable all add-ons.
A security scan is needed in case some malware cause this issue

Adding Favorites in Favorites bar using Group Policy

Is there a group Policy setting, wherein I can add the Favorites folder created under Favorites Bar. the favorite bar is enabled by using the following setting "Turn off Favorite bar" as disbaled. However wondering is it possible to get all Favorites
folder added into Favorites bar.

1) Open up the Group Policy Management Console
2) Create a new Group Policy Object
3) Navigate to User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Shortcuts
4) To create a new Favorite, right-click Shortcuts > New > Shortcuts
5) set the following properties
1.Action = Update
2.Name = e.g."Folder shortcuts\shortcut"
3.Target Type = URL
4.Location = Explorer Links
5.Target URL = e.g. "www.google.com"

How to disable Top sites icon in Favorites bar?

I have upgraded to Mavericks and there are two issues that make me regret the move. The first is small sounding but it makes me so angry I can't see straigh. In a Google sort of way, the new version of Safari foists upon me that miserable button - the top sites icon - as if to say "haa haa ... we know what is good for you". I want it gone! It used to be an option you could uncheck in the preferences ... but unless I'm missing something (I sure hope so!) Apple decided we should not have the option. Please tell me there is some way to get rid of the icon ... and better yet to disable somehow the whole top sites thing. I despise it, and I despise that someone tells me what I must have and how to work.
The second thing is the bookmark sidebar. I've always like how it works in safari. Now for some reason, as oposed to before, when you have the side bar slide into place so that you can select the bookmark - it stays there! Why? I want it to disapear after I click on a bookmark as it always has. I don't want to click again each time to make it go away. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior? This was in the beta of mavericks and I was not going to upgrade over the "feature". In the demo however I caught that a presenter clicked ... and the bar slid away, the way I would like it to. Now that I have mavericks ... it does not work as in the demo on stage.
So ... anyone ... is there a way for me to fix these two irritations?
I'm going to wait a month or so to see how Mavericks direction develops. I've always disliked Chrome because I don't trust they security and their proclivity towards tracking. I haven't cared for Firefox much neither ... mostly due to the way they render fonts. I will not use Safari if I can't change both of these features ... so I guess (because I suspect it is a case where apple knows what is good for me) that I won't be able to set up safari to not annoy me ... so my last questions is a recomendation for a replacement browser. What are your favorite browsers aside from Safari?
Thanks.

Well after a few more days with Mavericks I have to say I'm fairly impressed with it. Both laptops seem to have better battery life, and ... is it my imagination ... but they seem faster too? Not bad.
On the Safari problem I have, so far, made no headway, so I would be grateful for anyone who can come up with an answer. Perhaps the drawer sliding out and then back after you click your bookmark has a command line solution? I wonder how to investigate that?
As slick as Safari is (It has long been my favorite browser) I've been looking for a replacement. I won't consider Crome because of the afforementioned Google practice of monetizing "us' and our data. I don't trust em!
I dowloaded Opera ... and found that they have the same ideas in spades, about Top sites, that Apple seems to be adopting. What a shame ... and a no-go.
Then I started a trial with iCab. Now that is one nice browser! First impression are very possitive but there is the same top sites icon sitting there, with no obvious way to zap it. WHAT is going on ... does everyone havet to jump on the same (often hated) feature? I sent an email to the developer, expecting little but hoping just a bit anyways. Guess what? About forty five minutes later I received a reply. Wow, now that is nice!
My first impressions of iCab are very positive. I, however have the
same problem. There is a top sites right in the favorites bar. Can
this be disabled? I have not yet found a way to do this.
You can turn off this icon in iCab. Please enter "settings:" (without the
quote characters, but including the colon) in the URL field and hit the
"return" key. This will open some additional settings where you can configure
some more stuff. In the section "favorites toolbar" there's a setting to
show or hide the TopTen icon in the favorites toolbar. Just switch this
option off and click on the "Save Settings" button.
Alexander Clauss
..... So problem avoided. I'm going to spend the twenty dollars to register iCab even though one does not really need to. With responsiveness like this ... well, I want to keep it.
So that is my progress up until now. Not much on the original quest ... if you count nothing+hope as merely "not much". Still hoping. But having choices such as iCab and probably others ... sure did make me less grumpy.
I know I should perhaps just chill out. Life would sure be a bit easier if I had it in me to not care about these little details, I know. Having it perfect, perfectly elegant and perfectly customizable - that's tough.
On the other hand. This is Apple. Isn't it?
Cheers!

2 problems: 1st unopened messages, 2nd cannot add personal email in setup wizard

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my device. It seems like I cannot add a personal email adress in my email setup (from the setup wizard) When I enter this setup wizard > email setup the following appears: email setup select an email setup option [ ] I want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server AND THATS THE ONLY OPTION I CAN PICK! (a friend of mine with the same device could add a personal email) from there I can only choose { close } or { next } what is happening, can someone explain what I can do to add my personal adress? ------------------ Another thing I find quite strange is the fact that on my desktop the icon "unopened message count" appears. When I open the BB-menu, there should be a little star in the message-icon right? Well it isn't there! (the litte white-on-red star) So this icon tells me that I have unopened messages, but I can't find them anywhere.. guys please help!!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Your first problem is carrier related -- you must have the proper data plan from your carrier (at whatever costs they charge) to enable enhanced BB functions like email. A generic data plan is not usually sufficient -- some call the required plan The BlackBerry Data Plan. But call your carrier and ask them what you need from them in order to have access to their BlackBerry Internet Services (which include personal email).
Your second problem I am not understanding. What "BB-menu" are you accessing? Where exactly is the star you are seeing? Where exactly is the star you are expecting to see? More and clearer details, please.
Good luck and let us know!

"Mission Control" does not show space row and I cannot add a new space (27 inch screen)

Firstly, "Mission Control" does not show upper row with spaces. I have configured Dashboard as space, but it is not showed either.
Second, I cannot add a new space because the upper right corner wont show an empty space.
In system I have configured (Mission Control) the upper right corner as "mission control".
I do run a 27-inch screen

I'm having the exact same problem. I have a Macbook Pro that I connect to a 27inch iMac through the mini display port. Whenever I attempt to launch Mission control to move a program to a different space, the "Spaces" dont appear at the top of the screen. Is anyone have an answer for this?
Also, does anyone know of a 3rd party program to bring "Spaces" back? That was my #1 favorite thing of Snow Leopard, and I need to get that functionality back.
Thanks

Why can't I click and open my Skydrive from the favorites bar in finder?

I am able to do this for Google Drive and also Copy, so I should be able to do the same for Skydrive.
So how come I cannot click on Skydrive in the favorites bar in finder? I can click on everything else but when I try to click skydrive it is as if I clicked on the window outside of finder where it would be inactive. I want to be able to open my skydrive from finder (in favorites) so how can I fix this?
Please and thanks for any answers at all in advance

If I understand correctly you want the title to appear on top of a later video clip so both title and clip are visible. The problem is the "whites" background which is both making the background opaque and stopping you from pasting it above another clip. If you just select and drag the title by itself, the background will be transparent so the video clip below will show through. You should also be able to copy and paste it directly above the clip you want.
If you want different parts of the title to have a special effect you will have to edit each instance after you have made and positioned the copies.
I hope this helps - or have I misunderstood?
Geoff.

Cannot add music to my ipod

I just updated my ipod touch 4 gen and now I cannot add music to it in itunes. The "add to" button is gone. I also lost all of my purchased music and cannot add it back.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod.... and follow the instructions.
