Grayed out page title in Safari

Recently the title in the window for safari is sourounded by a gray rectangle. Doesn't happen in any other program. How can I fix this?

I agree, I do NOT like this new feature. Say I earlier went to an eBay sub-page, now I want to go to the eBay home page. I start typing e-b-a-y and it autofills the URL for the eBay sub-page I visited earlier.
I do not want to go to that one, so I press "delete", which simply removes the autofill suggestion and also the "y" in ebay, so I type the "y" again and the same suggested page fills in.
So now in order to go to the eBay home page I must type "ebay.com" whereas before I could just type "ebay".
Before Safari 5 these "already visited pages" would show up as a drop-down window, which I could scroll down to and choose if that's where I wanted to go. Now, though, that they're coming up in the address bar I'm forced to go there or type in the complete URL.
How can I turn this feature off. I know there's a Terminal command to do it, because there are Terminal commands to turn on and off many other features of Safari.
I do not wish to simply use Private Browsing because that turns off suggestions from my Bookmarks.
Help!!

Grayed out "No Service" on Safari icon sending email link

Since I upgraded to Yosemite, I get a grayed out "No Service" message when I click on my email icon link (square box with arrow point up) on Safari. I am on a website, say Apple store, and I want to email the page or link to someone to show them a product. Is there a setting I should adjust to activate this feature, please? Many thanks.

Follow the instructions in this article released by Apple.

Best.

Why is my safari quit grayed out/ can't quit safari

Why is the ablility to quit safari on my mac air grayed out? can't quit safari - not sure what happened

Because there's a dialog box open which needs to be dismissed before it can be quit normally. If desired, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut Safari down from there.

Grayed Out Apps Screens in iTunes 3rd Gen iPod Touch Apps Screen

I have downloanloaded at least 200 apps t my iPod Touch. Been playing them for 18 months now. Never had issues.
The situation is, the iTunes display window, when I have my iTouch selected, (after it's plugged in to my Mac and shows up in the left hand column), and I have the "Apps" selected, will shows 2 columns. The left column that shows your apps you have in the iTunes Library on your Mac; and the right hand column that shows the multiple page displays of the windows which simulate what you should see on your actual iPod Touch display when you scroll through all your pages. After you "Sync" these should be identical if you have all the apps in the left window "checked" and you have "checked" the box just underneath the left hand column that states "Automatically sync new apps".
The problem is I have apps downloaded which are displayed in my left column which are the apps in my Mac iTunes Library, many of those apps are displayed on the iPod Touch right side in a grayed out page display. 3 Pages and a fourth blank grey screen. Everything has been synced. Te grayed out screens that are in the right column in the iTunes window, (which should be the ones on my actual iTouch), are not on my actual iTouch.
I have even manuaaly dragged one of the grated out apps again to the blank grayed out screen (right column), re-synced, just to see if it shows up on my actual iTouch. No go.
I'm not sure how long I haven't noticed this problem, but I do know a year ago, it never did this.
Is this coincidance that I am also having the slow down issues that a few people have posted concerning the new iOS 5 for the 3rd Gen iTouches.
Not sure. Didn't pay attention enough to the time frames.
Any one have a suggestion(s) as to a solution, besides the obvious "Restore" in iTunes. Did it already.
By the way. When I first open iTunes and these 2 columns are displayed, there are not any grayed out display pages in the right column. Only after I "Sync"
Thanks

Retina display is only supported on 4th gen. The cheaper the screen is, the better the chance you have of getting ripped off. The safest way is to have Apple replace the iPod.

Safari page is grayed out

New iPad, worked flawlessly from the start. Now Safari page is grayed out, cannot move the displayed page, can enter web address in address bar but cannot select anyting on the page. Ideas? I have a feeling it's something simple. Thanks!!

Hi,
Tap Settings / Safari. Clear the History, Cookies, and Cache
Restart your iPad. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until you see the red slider then swipe the slider to the right to power off. Then hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the Apple logo.
Try Safari.
If you still have problems, post in the iPad forum here.
This is the Safari for Mac forum. Takes awhile to learn how to find the new discussions forums with the new format.

Safari troubleshooting needed. All search results are grayed out preventing me from clicking anything on the page.

Safari Problem: After doing a search using all three of the search engines the search results are grayed out not allowing me to click on anything on the page. I also can't use the buttons to the left of the search box. Please help.

Go back to your home screen, then double click your home button to open your multi-task window hold your finger on the Safari icon until it start to wiggle and a red minus sign is in the upper left corner. Tap the red minus sign and completely close Safari, then reopen it.

Problems with safari screen grayed out unable to load pages from search

Using IPAD last night and did a google search and google suggestions dialog box remains open along with keyboard, does not allow me to select any search results as the page is grayed out. When I try to select a new page, bookmarks of the back arrow I get NO RESPONSE. Thought the IPAD I charged it last night with same results this AM. Any suggestions!

Some websites do this but I have found that the iPad is not frozen, it's just the way the website is (poorly) designed and you just need to scroll ALL THE WAY UP to see the page results. Verizon is one such culprit with their site. Try it, I bet it works

Since updating to 10.4.8 Safari Spell checking grayed out

Now I can not turn on Spell Checking in Safari because it is grayed out. What happened?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I found that for the spelling options to be available you must have the cursor in a text box. Then, I pressed command : to turn on spell checking. However, I had check spelling as you type checked and it unchecked it when I changed web pages. I had to reselect it.

Get title tracks grayed out....

Have made switch from Windows to Mac. I had my I-Tunes library on an external hard drive. I copied my library over but it did not copy most of the album art & none of the title tracks are there. Was able to get the album art. I went up to "Advanced" & went to "Get Title Tracks" but it is grayed out. Does anybody have any ideas how to get the title tracks? Have I-Tunes 8.1 installed.

Problem resolved! Chalk it up to not looking hard enough. With being completely new to Mac, was a little nervous about a couple of things. The track names did transfer. The "get track names" being grayed out apparently is tied to how you have your view set. Above where you can set how I-tunes is displayed, there are 3 options. When I had just the page displayed where the album art was, I was able to download the cover art but when I went to get the title track names, it was grayed out. But when I changed the view to where the library contents could be viewed as sort of a spread sheet, the title track names were there. I went up to advanced and the "get title track names" was no longer grayed out. I switched the view back and the "get title track names was grayed out".
Many thanks for your help!!!

Safari on iPads has no facility to upload files to web sites. You need to use an app made specific for that site or use a computer.

Safari screen grayed out and doesn't function. Help.

Suddenly, the Safari browser stopped working. The screen appears grayed out and touching buttons in the Safari content area doesn't do anything. The search and address windows work and new pages load, but they don't function. The back and forward and other buttons also don't work.
I haven't changed anything (that I know about)since the last time everything worked a few minutes ago.
TIA for your help.

Have you tried resetting the iPad?
reset iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Safari internet screen remains grayed out

My mother did something to the Safari internet page and now its all grayed out. I can still see the webpages like normal, but the whole screen looks to be highlighted gray and I can't click on anything on the page. The search bar function still works and goes to other pages, but nothing else does because of the gray highlight. Any suggestions how I can unhighlight the page?

Nevermind...found the answer.
Clear cookies, browser and cache.
Shut off and turn back on...........works like normal.

Page Forward & Reverse buttons do not work & are "grayed-out" after upgrading to, as is the Main-Menu Items such as File-Edit-view etc...

After upgrading to Firefox 3.6.12 all functionality appeared to be intact. Then after a few days it lost the ability to "page forward" or to "page back" and are "grayed-out". Additionally, the Main menu items such as File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help are also grayed-out and non-functioning.
Also, the "Search Window" does not search, Web Searches need to be performed from within the URL window instead, for some crazy reason. If the URL window is blank when I enter a search into the actual search window the following appears in the URL window, "Search Bookmarks and History", which makes no sense.
I have noticed similar complaints in this Forum in the past but I have not seen any posted resolution to these issues. Is there a solution?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

My default home page does not come up and my navigation bar is grayed out. I can't seem to fix it.

In the last few days, I have noticed that when I open my browser, I don't get my default home page, even though it shows under my options. When I conduct a search, I have navigation buttons, but once I open a page from the search engine results page, I have no navigation anymore. They are all grayed out.

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).
