I spent like 2 minutes trying different finger movements expecting that had been written in. with two fingers you could just slide in or out. Much better no? oh well...

On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work. I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will. This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't fix it then try closing Safari via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open it :
iOS 7 :double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Safari app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the above doesn't fix it is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Access to Preview Sidebar in Safari?

Occasionally, the PDF docs I view online contain links to other PDF docs (a Table of Contents, for example). These docs open directly in Safari rather than Preview and, as such, allow limited PDF controls (zoom, open in Preview, save to Downloads).
But to be at all useful, I need access to the Preview Sidebar. This would allow me to select linked PDF files, such as might be found in a Table of Contents.
Is it possible to access the Preview Sidebar when viewing PDF files from within Safari, or must I resort to selecting a different PDF Reader as my default application - Adobe Reader, for example, where all PDF controls are available from within Safari when viewing a PDF file?
Thanks for your thoughts...

As far as I know, you can't view the PDF sidebar within Safari. +(Edit: Actually, you do get a sidebard when you use Adobe Reader to "display PDF in browser" instead of Preview, as you suggest in your post.)+
But if it helps, you can choose to download a PDF file instead of viewing it in Safari, and then open it in Preview or Acrobat Reader. Control-click (or right-click) on the link to the PDF and choose the option to download it, or if it's already open you can just save it. Then double-click on the file's icon in Safari's downloads window to open it in your default PDF reader.
Apologies if you already knew that. I've always done the above because I find PDF files easier to handle in a real PDF reader rather than a web browser. But I don't mind allowing PDFs to open in Safari by default, for quick viewing when I don't need all of the usual controls.

Sidebar in safari?

IIs there any way to hide the sidebar in Safari in ios 8. On my iPad 3, I feel it takes up too much room.

In landscape orientation:Tap on the Bookmarks icon (the same one you used to open it, just to the left of the address field).
In portrait orientation it will auto hide.

How do I close cookies on safari?

I am a new apple users. How do I close cookies on safari?

"close cookies" ??
Do you mean delete cookies?
Or do you mean prevent cookies from being placed on your computer?
In any case, all that is handled via Safari > Preferences, Privacy.
(Assuming you have a recent version of Safari.)

How do I middle click and close tabs in safari? please help!

I am used to google chrome and adapted to use middle clicks to interact with tabs. My friend introduced me to safari and as i am using macbook pro I think using safari should be more compatible. The only thing that is holding me back is closing tabs with middle click on mouse. I would really appreciate if someone would point me to easy solution for that.
Thanks,
Rohan

Command-W closes the active tab.

Sidebar in Safari (and Chrome)

I know, I know -- it's a funny request, but:
Is there a way to get a sidebar holding bookmarks and history on either Safari or Chrome? I've seen it on Firefox, but FF is slow, slow, slow.
I use quite a few websites really frequently, so it would be useful to be able to hit a link to each quickly.
I find the 'bookmark bars' along the tops of browsers are useless: you either only get a few bookmarks visible on them, or you have to start creating drop down folders and all sorts.
Cheers,
Jonathan.

HI,
Click the Bookmarks icon top left in the Safari window.

Can't Close Windows in Safari

Because of some bad RAM, I had to do some system and software re-installs. I am running the latest version of Tiger, and windows in Safari will not close. They will go to the dock with the yellow button, but will not close with either the red button, the close window command in the File window or the command W combination. When I quit the program, the old windows go away, but that is a pain. I wait to quit Safari until I have 6 or 8 Safari windows open in the dock. Do I need to reset Safari? (I really don't want to lose the keychain passwords.) I've checked and re-checked preferences, and I don't find anything there, either.

Hello bassomac:
Try a couple of things.
Clear the Safari cache.
Trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist).
Restart safari and see what happens.

Issues with "Close Widow" for Safari

I'm having problems with the "Close Window" behavior in the
Safari browser. I have a popup window of some thumbnails which link
to larger images in the same popup. The "Close Window" works fine
in the initial instance of the popup, but not after you link to
subsequent windows. For an example, please go to
http://www.greencitygardens.net/pages/portfrontThumb.html.
I used to be able to work around this in GoLive by using a
component for the "Close Window" button.
Thanks!

For the first issue, in the Finder menu, select GO> then Go to Folder and paste this:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Move the com.apple.dock.plist file to the trash and restart the computer. See if Safari will stay in the dock now.
Second issue:
I've never used McKeeper, but search the discussion forum and I doubt that you will find one good word about it.
I'd see if I could get my money back and hope it didn't do any major damage to your system. Be sure to look up how to uninstall it completely from your system and don't just move the application to the trash.

Shortcut to close window in Safari but the current?

I've been searching all over for this. I'm sure it s obvious ,but the words that I search are so common ,I get way to much info. Anyway I want to know how I can close all safari window but the currently active. Lets say there is 5 windows or tabs open but I'm only interested in the one I'm using now. I think I remember there being one ,if not I think U can make your own. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jason,
Using the Close All Windows (⌥⌘W) shortcut does not affect minimized windows, so,
hit first the Minimize shortcut (⌘M)
to put your window in the Dock,
then Close All Windows.
The only window(s) left will be the one(s) in the Dock.

How do i add a google sidebar in safari?

How do I add a Google sidebar next to the address bar in Safari?
Please help
Daniel

Danielson --
You can't. In Mountain Lion, there is now a "uni-bar," You can put search terms, or a URL in there.
I didn't like it either, in the beginning, but now I'm used to it.
