Control Safari browser tabs on laptop

Hello!
Anyone have any ideas how I could quickly change between tabs on my laptop using my iPhone?  I like to walk around the classroom while I teach, but would also like to switch between webpages real quick so I can use AirSketch on my iPad, but also go back to edmodo and other miscelaneous sites for that day.  I was hoping for something a bit more streamlined than a remote access to the computer solution, but perhaps there is one that is easy and quick to use on the iPhone?
Thanks!

Hi,
     My Private browsing is Turn OFF all the time.
After following the steps mentioned in the link provided by "@randers4"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372
I was able to see safari tabs opened in the Mac on my iPhone. But the tabs opened on iPhone are not showing in Mac.
When I click the Cloud icon next the address bar all I see is "iCloud automatically Shows all the open tabs on your other devices".
Don't know what else to do.
Thanks for replying friends.

  • How export to csv work in safari browser? In my application export to csv open like a raw data in new tab. But other browsers working great!. Need to open in a csv file or save it as a csv file.

    How export to csv work in safari browser?
    In my application export to csv open like a raw data in new tab.

    Need to open in a csv file or save it as a csv file.
    Please suggest me. Thank you in advance!.

    Hi Adrian,
    Why don't you try any another software for opening CSV files then Notepad ? According to my experience, you can use these softwares to open an CSV files and they are:-
    Microsoft Excel
    Open Office Calc
    Google Docs
    Also there is an additional tool available known as CSV viewer. You may try this, download it from here http://www.csvviewer.com/
    I've never used Notepad for opening CSV files, because sometimes it contains some symbols which are not not at all compatibile with Notepad.

  • Can i install iPAD Safari browser in Laptop.

    hi,
    What is the Safari browser version in iPAD and iPhone. Can we use this safari in laptop or iPAD safari and laptop safari is different?
    Vanji

    hi,
    I am facing one problem while accessing the www.supertracker.usda.gov site using iPAD iOS 6.0 and we are not facing this issue from laptop safari , mac safari, iPAD iOS 5.0 and iPhone iOS 5.0.
    Please follow below steps to reproduce :
    - Access the site www.supertracker.usda.gov
    - Click on the "Create Profile" link  from right side of the page and it will take you to the create profile page where you can create profile.
    - In here you will see one form and in that 4 field is "Physical Activity" , from that drop down box if you select "Base on Weekly Activities I enter", then you will get one alert message and it will not let you to select "Base on Weekly Acetivities I enter" and it will change to First option in the drop down list box.  It has to work in this way, but from iPAD  /  iPhone iOS 6.0 its not behaving like that, after selecting on "Base on Weekly Activities I enter" its not changing to first option.
    Can you please help me what the problem could be.

  • Safari browser-how to keep tabs all in one window

    How do I keep the tabs all in one window like you do with the Opera browser. It's the one thing keeping me from using Safari. I asked this question about one year ago and I tried something but it didn't work and then it caused problems with my Desktop and with other functions of my computer. Since then, I have updated the operating system (10.6.8) and the Safari browser 5.0.5.
    Is there an easy way of doing that? I often have 30 or more tabs open at the one time and I do not like to scroll or use the arrows or whatever to see the last ones. I prefer to have them in the one window.
    I am asking because I found Safari the fastest browser to use and would like to keep using it. The tabs thing though is the deal-breaker for me.

    I don't need a keyboard shortcut; I want to see all the tabs in the one window. I don't want to have to click on the arrow to see the other tabs.  
    For example if I open thirty tabs, I want to see all 30 tabs at the top in the one window. So I can click on any tab to open it right in the window without having to click on the arrow to get a list of tabs.
    And how did you create those 30 tabs in the first place?  Once upon a time you opened them one by one (cmd-t or open a link into a new tab).  And they must have been layed out one next to the other.  But there's a limit and that's you browser's window width.  So the browser must make some convention to handling a large number of tabs.  Safari shrinks the titles up to some minimum and then creates a list for the excess.  I use firefox and have an addon (TabMixPlus) which allows me to have all my tabs in multiple rows, for example,
    Maybe safari has an addon to do this, maybe not.  A quick google search did not turn up any safari addon for this.  So if there isn't any, you'll just have to decide if you can justify safari's "faster" speed with the inconvenience of selecting some of the tabs from a list.

  • Malware has taken control of my safari browser - how do I remove it?

    I clicked on an tile in Yahoo! when shopping for rice and malware or malicious adware was installed and took over my Safari browser. Now it claims to be the FBI Cybercrime Division and says I have child *********** and demands I pay for a MoneyPak product to unlock my browser. It claims my content has been encrypted. I cannot access any tabs or Preferences in Safari. How to clean this out of my system? What other damage has it done? Thanks!

    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • Every morning when I awaken my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later.

    Every morning when I "awaken" my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed on it's own. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later. I checked system preferences and everything seems to be checked appropriately as well as for Safari's preferences.
    I am not sure what's going on, because Safari only just recently started doing this and I haven't downloaded anything, nothing out of my regular computer routine. As well, I upgraded to Mavericks when it came out and I have the last version of it too. I can't imagine that Safari would close simply because I don't have or want to upgrade to Yosemite. I am holding off on the upgrade for a bit, because I heard Final Cut Pro 7 can't be run on Yosemite. While I could partition my drive, I really don't want to. Mavericks is fine for right now :   )
    Okay sooooo...back to Safari...what the! Please help and thanks for any replies ahead of time!

    There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
    The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
    Network section.
    In Network - click  on Advanced - then the DNS tab
    under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
    either these, from google dns
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    or from OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then click OK & then 'Apply'
    You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

    One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

  • Safari Browser Crashes - How to Reset the IPAD-2?

    I have the latest IOS 8.x installed on my IPAD-2 but haven't been able to get the Safari Browser to work for several months.  When I click Safari it opens for a few seconds then shuts down...I'm not able to  input any web sites.
    I tried settings->safari->clear history & website data but it didn't help.  I tried rebooting the iPad by holding down the home &  sleep/wake buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appeared, then let go & let the iPad boot up normally....Safari still won't open.
    I guess I'd like to completely erase/reset the IPAD to it's original state in hopes of getting Safari to work.  Is there a procedure?
    Scott Moyer

    Well you can plug it into itunes and under summary tab hit RESTORE. This should fix any software issues that you may be experiencing. About gamepass, I dont know, I dont have it. Siri is not on the IPAD2. Only on the 3rd generation Ipad, so you wont have it(going by ipad2 under your name).

  • Can anybody help? My Safari browser keeps crashing. The whole window just turns grey.

    Can anybody help? My Safari browser keeps crashing on iMac 10.7.5. The whole window just turns grey. It started happening around the time of the new bookmarks menu upgrade recently which changed the bookmarks to be only on the side and makes it so you can see all your bookmarks while browsing.  I know I have a lot of bookmarks, so I tried hiding them, but it still happens. I ALREADY TRIED CLEARING MY HISTORY, AND THAT DID NOT HELP, AND I HAVE NO EXTENSIONS FOR THIS BROWSER.
    Does the fact that I am in Brasil have anything to do with it?
    Thank you to anyone who can help. In case no one can come up with an answer, is there an easy way to transfer my bookmarks from safari to either firefox or chrome?
    Much appreciated.

    1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
       3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
    That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
    Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
    Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are outside the safe harbor, though not all are necessarily harmful.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
    Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    "FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. Most of the real-world danger of malware attack comes from highly targeted "zero-day" exploits that are not yet recognized.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
    Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless a network administrator requires you to do it.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • How do you make the actually open safari iCloud tabs sync between iMac and iPad?

    I'm trying to have it so the web browser tabs I actually have open and viewing at any time, are synced between my iMac and my iPad.
    This doesn't appear to work via iCloud Safari tabs, you just get the tabs open on your iMac as a list you can access on the iPad if you go digging through options.
    Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Hello JordanCS88,
