Delete the show side bar and top sites from Safari

I have never nor will I ever use the tabs for top sites and show sidebar which appear on Safari. How do I delete them from the tab bar?

Robert
aha! NOT tab bar BUT Bookmarks Bar! I guessed the TOOL bar at first. BOOKMARKS!
In the main menu bar choose [Help] > Safari Help
search " deleting bookmarks " > open that file
*in my version, it says "
You can’t remove the bookmarks bar or Bookmarks menu from the sidebar. You can’t remove History and All RSS Feeds, but you can delete individual bookmarks within them.
To remove Address Book and Bonjour from the sidebar, open the Bookmarks pane of Safari preferences and deselect them."
key to the bold statement is that one of the icons that you wish to disappear, may not not be removable. It is certain the 'Open Book' is there to stay.
I have personalized my Safari so much that I don't find your "Top Sites" folder or icon - If I removed it in the Bookmarks window, it would naturally disappear from the bookmarks toolbar - if you see it in the list, remove it and I'll bet it magically disappears from the Bookmarks Bar.

  • Safari 4.0 progress bar and Top Sites bugs (?)

    Hi there,
    I am having a problem with my Safari 4 and been searching for a fix since a few days but could not find a solution, so I hope there is someone who can help me out.
    There are basically two problems, I have with Safari.
    The first one is, that since Safari 4.0 there is a new kind of a "progress bar" which changes its color and is actually at first dark and then gets more light while loading a page. My progress bar is not chaning colors at all. It just stays dark all the time.
    And the second one, is that if you have a site on you "Top Sites" and click that, it fades in, so it comes nearer and gets larger until it fits the window. So, if you go back from that site to you "Top Sites" again, it actually should fade out and move back to its old position on the "Top Sites". And again, my Safari does not do that either.
    I don't know, if that is improtant or not, but I played around with the Safari 4 beta tweaks and changed the progress bar so I have the blue one in the background of my adress bar.
    I already tried to restore my old Safari from my Programs folder with Time Machine and installed the 4.0 again but still, it does not work for me.
    I know that these are not somehow critical bugs but it would be great, if Safari would just work, as it actually should.
    So, is there a way to fix that or reset Safari?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi
    Latest v of Glims (17) is Safari 4 compatible. Cooliris is functional, although a soon to be released upgrade will correct certain S4 related bugs. Tab Expose is not S4 compatible.
    There is no blue progress bar in Safari 4. In S4 Beta, Terminal code was used to bring that S3 feature back, however, S4 final has removed the related code. Hence, no blue progress bar. Instead, there's a spinning gear to the right of the Address Bar indicating the page is loading.
    Let Apple hear your sentiments about S4. Send feedback to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report bugs to Apple.

  • I've managed to delete the NoScript menu bar and the NoScript option when I right click a page, how do I get them back?

    I was trying to allow a website on the NoScript menu, when I must have accidentally pressed something and the entire menu bar disappeared. While I was trying to correct this, I then managed to remove the NoScript option from the right-click menu. So now I cannot access my NoScript and I've tried re-installing it but nothing works. How do I get them back?

    menu bar is missing:

  • Removing 'Bookmarks Bar' and 'Bookmarks Menu' from Safari

    Since installing Mountain Lion on my MBP, I've had Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu folders added to my mobile safari. It's pretty annoying now with Reading List and History, that my mobile bookmarks start halfway down the page.
    Is there any way to remove them?

    My title bar with the ability to close windows is not available.  I must hold the cursor at the top of the page to see my title with time, etc.

    I wish to remove "Show sidebar" and "Show Top Sites" from the Favorites Bar in Safari 7.0. How may I do so?

    I aggree It's rather annoying that you can't remove these features when like me you never use them, however by far the most annoying part of this is that when you go into 'Customize Toolbar' you can actually add yet a second 'Show Top Sites' feature to the toolbar !! Even those people who actually want to use this feature don't require two of them. For crying-out-loud come on Apple, this has to be a joke right?!?

  • My hard drive crashed recently and i can no longer see my web site address in the iWeb side bar

    I can n o longer see my web site address in the iweb side bar, how can I relocate it so i can edit my website

    Let me start with the general advise...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • How come some of my "top sites" in safari won't show the pages?

    I had to restore my system and now some of the TOP SITES in safari wont show the pages and only show the black page.  If I click on the black page, it loads the page, but it stays black in top sites.  Any help would be nice thanks

    It is probably just an artifact of restoring. Once you type their names into the url bar again, the sites and their last images will show up again in Top Sites.
    I use an obscure method that clears all caches on every logout, and my top sites always comes up all black when I log in. It is not really a defect, it just does not have an old page-image to show you until you visit that site again.

  • I have a disk inserted into my MAC that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How do I eject it?

    I have a disk inserted into my MacBook Pro that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How can I get it "ejected?" (I've checked in system preferences under CDs & DVDs and did not find a solution.)

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • Where is the option to hide/show side bar??

    since i just did the new update 12.1.0.50 a few moments ago, it resolved the matter of not having the side bar, but now you cannot make it go away.  what are you guys doing?  first you take it away from us, now we cannot get rid of it.  can you please put back the option in the menu to hide/show side bar?  it would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm guessing here, but when you say "you guys", you are referring to Apple? Well, this is a user to user support forum, Apple does not participate here. If you want to provide feedback to Apple, go HERE, and click on the appropriate subject.

  • No device shows up in the finder side bar

    Hi, I found that my USB flash drive doesn't shows up in the finder side bar, although it has been mounted and can be accessed when I search the name of my USB flash drive in the spotlight. Actually not only is the USB flash drive but nothing shows up in the device sectino of the side bar, what would be the potential problem for this?

    Move the cursor over the DEVICES line in the sidebar. If the word Show appears on the right, click it.

  • My phone is showing five bars and is connected to wifi but it keeps telling me that I cannot connect to the iTunes store???

    My new phone is showing five bars and is connected to wifi but it keeps telling me that I cannot connect to iTunes Store???

    Just because there are bars showing doesn't mean you are connected to the Internet. When you try going to the iTunes store, does the error message say anything about not connected to the Internet. If so, that's the problem. However, if you can successfully get to a web site in safari, then you do have a connection. In this case, are you sure you are using the right ID and password for the store?

  • I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    No.  When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library.  Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
    If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
    It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications.  You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

  • How can I permanently prevent the Reminder Fox icon (in the Add-on Bar) and the Add-on Bar from showing?

    Installed: Firefox 27. ReminderFox 2.1.4. Windows XP Professional
    Since ReminderFox 2.1.4 was installed, I have deselected the 'Status/Add-on Bar Display 'Bow' and text on status bar' numerous times, but the setting never takes effect even after pressing the Apply and OK buttons.
    The Add-on Bar, which has always been deselected from the View > Toolbars menu, shows as selected in the menu, and even though I deselect it manually, when I close Firefox and then reopen it, it shows again as selected in the menu.
    How can I permanently prevent the Reminder Fox icon (in the Add-on Bar) and the Add-on Bar from showing?

    It is possible to uninstall the add on or to customize the add on toolbar from the Toolbar Customize option. To troubleshoot this try this article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]
