How do I eliminate the "community Toolbar" compatibility notice/error??

Hi everyone!  Thanks for reading and I look foreward to all useful suggestions! 
My situation:
With Safari running... 5.1.7 (but even on 5.1.6)  at some point i downloaded or installed some "community toolbar....i imagine it was a throw in with some free app  that i'd gotten.  Anyway....have no idea where it came from in fact, but like every 3-5 minutes....yes....imagine how annoying.... smack dab in the center of my 23" screen....this The community toolbar  and blah blah going on to say something to the effect of this version of safari is not compatible...and the only button option is to "close" the pane.
Here's what i have ALREADY tried to save us all some time in the help searching process as all our time is valuable!  :-)
deleted safari 5.16
installed safari 5.1.7
turned off extensions
deleted all but 3 extensions, none of which seem to have anything to do with "community toolbar"
and...that's it really that i could think to do...oh...yeah  searched for "community toolbar and community in spotlight to find nothing of apparent consequence...
So yeah..that's where i'm at....i may take a screen shot of the error ...not sure if there is a way to upload it here for viewing though?
THanks in advance for all your support!

That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
If you are running Tiger or Leopard:
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
If you are running Lion:
From the Finder Menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder, and in the box that opens write:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Delete the second item if it is there.
Now select Go to Folder again and enter  /Library
From the folder that opens, delete the following items if they are there (you may need your login password):
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
then close the folder. Now select Go to Folder again and write: /Applications/Toolbars
Delete that item and close the Finder windows you opened. Log out then log back in, and you should be rid of it.
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

    You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
    Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root   /Library
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    The next one is in your Home folder.
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    When you're done, try Safari.

    I've upgraded to yosemite, and safari tells me it doesn't support "community toolbar". How can I get this feature back?

    The "community toolbar" is part of the adware Conduit. You don't want that feature back!

  • I keep getting an error message that says the safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar.  how do I fix it?

    Everytime I open my imac I get an error message that says: "We're sorry but the Safari browser version your are currently using does not support the community toolbar."  I can't see where it affects anything else, but getting an error message on an imac, just doesn't seem right, ya know?  How can I get rid of the message. 

    Apparently an add-on named Community Toolbar was installed at one time, and is causing the problem. To get rid of it, quit Safari, then throw away these files -
    Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    Macintosh HD/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    Macintosh HD/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    Note - if you are using Lion, the Library folder in your home folder (user name folder) is hidden. To get into it, in Finder open the Go menu; with that menu open, press and hold the Option key. An item "Library" will be added to the list, and can then be selected. That will open the Library folder in your home folder.

  • I am unable to connect to the internet, there is a pop-up that says "We're sorry, but the Safari browse version you are currently using dos no support the community toolbar". My computer does say that it is connected to the internet until I open Safari.

    I am unable to connect to the interent. At the top of the screen my computer says that I am connected. When I open up Safari there is a pop up that say "Community Toolbar          We're sorry, but the Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar" and when the Safari page opens up it says "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can't open the page .... because your computer isn't connected to the Internet." I have tried Network Diagnostics and tried to reset Sfari, empty Cache as well as deleted all of my interent history. I am unable to use Time Machine because I never set it up. If someone knows how to help I would very much appreciate it!!

    it didn't... but at least I know where to find the Library-  any other ideas?
    Instead of being installed as a standard plug-in, the Community Toolbar uses the system loader "launchd" to load the plugin on-demand whenever Safari is opened. You will need to remove three components that are installed, starting with the binary files.
    The binary file is the actual toolbar application, and is located in the /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader/ folder. Removing the entire CTLoader folder will remove the application and other files that are installed along with the toolbar. If you just care to quickly stop the toolbar from loading, doing this will be enough to keep it from loading.
    With the binary file removed, the toolbar will no longer launch; however, the system will still try to load it when Safari is opened because the system launcher instructions file is still installed. While having these instructions present will not cause a decrease in performance, removing them will prevent the system from outputting errors and warnings in the system log files.
    Removing only this instructions file is another way to stop the toolbar from loading; however, it will require either the use of the following command in the Terminal (done before removing the file) or a restart of the system after removing the file to unload the instructions from the system loader and prevent the toolbar from launching.
    sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    The final components to the toolbar are some resources that it uses, which are relatively benign and will become unused "orphaned" files when the other components of the toolbar are removed. These files are all located in the /Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/ folder in a directory called Conduit. Remove this directory and the toolbar in its entirety will be removed.

  • How can I eliminate the pointless top bar, close up the spaces between bars that are wasting space and reduce the depth of the tabs so that I have the space I had before for the websites I am looking at?

    I have updated to the latest form of Mozilla Firefox, and the top of the screen is altered so that it occupies far more space than it used to do, leaving far less space for what I want to look at. Why are there spaces between bars? Why are the tabs deeper than they used to be or need to be? How can I eliminate the pointless top bar which merely duplicates the information in the tab bar? Is there any way of simply restoring the previous arrangement?

    Okay, I accept that this is just how it is, and there is nothing to be done about it, because no-one except me thinks that the icons and toolbars should be organised to take up minimum space in order to allocate maximum space to the page.
    The crowning irony of all this is that, having updated to the latest Mozilla Firefox and consequently having this arrangement at the top of the page which I don't like, the middle of the page now comes up with its old message, 'You are not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade now.'
    Computers are very odd. :(

  • How can I show the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox 6 all the time?

    The bookmarks toolbar is hidden by default in Firefox 6, and "view bookmarks toolbar" will only show it until a link is clicked or the tab is changed. How can I display the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox 6 all the time?

    On your toolbar area right click an empty space and open Customize.
    Then drag the bookmark icon up to your toolbar area and drop.
