Change plus button in Safari back to Add Bookmark

Not sure exactly with which release of Safari that the + button in the toolbar was changed from a quick "add to bookmarks" button (which is what it's always done) to an "add to reading list" button (which I would never use)... Is there a way to change it back?

From https://discussions.apple.com/message/23695465#23695465
Option-click the + to get "Add to and make default"

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 'Add Bookmark Here' does not work in Safari

Hi, since upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion, Safari does not add bookmarks to a folder on the Bookmarks Bar using the Add Bookmark Here sub menu item.
The dialogue for adding the name of the Bookmark appears but I have to click OK twice and the bookmark does not save.
Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this bug? Thanks...

Thanks mejudy that worked! Much appreciated
I also tried removing the Bookmarks.plist file from the Safari library and restarting Safari. I then quit Safari, copied the file back and now the Add Bookmark here sub menu has gone altogether.
Is that how its meant to be in Mountain Lion?

Can't add bookmark in Safari; Mac Pro 10.8.2 ?

Safari won't add bookmark; Mac Pro,Safari, OSX 10.8.2 ?

Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?

How to add bookmark button for user to access application

I would like to add a button that will be an 'ADD BOOKMARK' concept for the user so that they don't try to save the url that is generated at the time they run the application.
I am using Apex 4.0.
Is anyone familiar with this concept?
I see it a lot on the internet with other websites.
Thanks,
Maggie

This post is made for the future Apex users that need this info.
I discovered a fantastic website that helped me generate the code needed for my apex page to add a bookmark link. This website is:
http://www.webmaster-affiliates.net/bookmark-site_doit.php
This was my code used (be sure to replace the curly brackets with a pointed less than/greater than bracket):
{div align=right}{a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://your.url.goes.here:7780/pls/apex/f?p=Graphics_Status', 'Graphics Status')"}Bookmark Site{a}{div}
I created a page region and put the above code in the source field. Worked fantastic.

Move/remove/change RSS button from next to refresh sign (Safari 4.0.4)

How to move/remove/change RSS-button location from next to refresh sign as I'm wasting alot of time everytime when trying to hit that refresh button?
I know I can use keyboard to refresh a webpage, but I really like the easy to use stop/refresh button a-la Firefox (after combining them) in the left side next to the "previous/next page" buttons, and I really hate that RSS appearing on all those websites which provides RSS. I don't use RSS and I don't want to see it when browsing and using Safari.
I hope there is a way to doing that, otherwise I have no choice but switching back to Firefox..
Thanks!

Thanks Carolyn,
but the "debug" menu doesn't appear after running "defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1" command in terminal. I have Safari 4.0.4
But the idea is great: now I only want to disable RSS.

Somehow your bookmarks that normally appear on the separate Bookmarks Toolbar (the part on the left) got onto your main Navigation Toolbar. To move them back, return to Customize mode and drag "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" to the Bookmarks Toolbar. Then click Done and hopefully that will stick.

I cannot add an event on my iPhone or iPad calendars. The "plus" button, or add event button does not even appear when I open the app.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, that did not fix it. I changed the sync setting as you described, but I still don't get my older events. I have turned my IOS devices off and on again too. One more piece of information, the only events I see for October are recurring events. Either one day events like birthdays set to repeat every year, or events within the month that spanned more than one day. No one time events or appointments are showing.

No back button in safari

Help! I no longer have a back button in safari (no page forward button either). I only have the + (add bookmark) button to the left of my url bar. All windows in Safari open without the < & > buttons...
Any counsel would be appreciated.

Greetings,
Go to View > Customize Toolbar… and add those buttons back to the menu bar.

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

The share button disappeared from my Facebook add-on just before I upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I thought by upgrading and reinstalling the add-on it might come back, but it didn't. All other FB buttons are there, near as I can tell. Any ideas? I'm using XP3.

I somehow deleted my "back" button in Safari. How do I get it back?

Two issues: 1st: I want to know how to take a snapshot of something on my desktop.
2nd: In trying to remember how to take a snapshot I was just pushing buttons, willy-nilly, and somehow deleted my "back" button in Safari. How do I get that back?

It's not on my keyboard (that I know of). It's an arrow on the bar at the top of my safari screen. I'm supposed to be able to click the arrow to either go back to the previous page or go forward to the next page. But I deleted it somehow. And now I don't know how to get it back. I found a solution in someone else's post: Safari, View, Customize Tool Bar. I tried to do that but it doesn't work for me. I dragged the back arrows to my tool bar but they won't stay up there. What do I do now?

I tried editing my first post but couldn't get there...
If you can open Safari go to the top of your screen, click Safari / Preferences then select the General stab. You can type in the web address for your Home page there.

How can i change all the purple links in safari back to blue

I am having trouble figuring out how to change the links ive visited in safari back to blue. I have turned on PRIVATE so now my links dont turn purple onces ive visited the webpage but i can't figure out how to remove/change the already visited sites from purple back to blue! help me pleaseeee xx

OK.
Go to SAFARI tab from the safari menu and "reset Safari"
You can keep your passwords, just uncheck that option.
once done that, quit Safari, here is the trick. CLosing the Safari Window doesn't quit the app, to quit it you can either go to "safari" tab on the safari menu and Quit safari or press control key on the keyboard and click on the safari app and quit. that will erase those purple highlighted links

Why isn't my back button in Safari not working? I am constantly resetting Safari.

Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple. Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try the back button.
