How to unhide Tab bar in Safari

i am using the Safari Browser - Version 6.0.3 (8536.28.10), recently tab bar is not showing. Can any one help me to unhide the tab bar. When i checked view->Hide Tab Bar, also inactive. Looking help to unhide the tab bar. Thanks in advance

I suggest using Apple menu - Software Update (after backing up your computer) to get a newer Safari & OS version.
The tab bar is hidden by default unless there's more than one tab open - you can alter that with the following Terminal command... do it after quitting Safari.
defaults write -app Safari AlwaysShowTabBar -bool YES

How to disable tab bar in Safari on iOS 5

I can't find the setting for this. Is it hidden somewhere?

The only problem with safari under iOS 5 is when you have 9 tabs opened (which is often the case for me) you don't find anymore which is the right tab when you come back, while under iOS 4 it was far more easier thanks to the picture of the page.
Fair point, but it obviously now makes sense keeping fewer pages open. This is now easy to do as you can just add them to 'Reading List' so you can return to them later and since the Reading List syncs to your other devices they are available anywhere you might be browsing which HAS to be a plus.
I realise that the Reading List is just a list of bookmarks and doesn't actually store the page itself, whereas an open tab does - in theory. On many, many occasions I have switched to an open page (now Tab) and had to wait while the page was retrieved again. I don't understand why it does this since the page had already been downloaded and I hadn't asked it to 'redraw'. Also, it doesn't always occur. So why does it refetch some pages and not others? Anyway, if it is re-fetching the page, that is no different from just opening a bookmark and hence in that case storing something in the Reading List would be no different to keeping the page apparently open in another screen.
On the whole I do prefer the new Safari and from the reviews I've read, it seems that most others do also. In any case, there's no point wishing for the old behaviour as it's surely gone for good. Better to embrace the new way of working and learn to love that, so when they change to something else in iOS 6, you'll have something to complain about.

What is the function of show tab bar in safari setting?

this tool is in setting > safari > show tab bar on/off
any one know how it work

Hey Samooo205,
I see that you have some questions about the tab bar in Safari. Some information about this can be found in the following article:
Safari 7 (Mavericks): Customize the Safari window
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17153
If you need help visually identifying the tab bar, you can find that information here:
Safari 8 (Yosemite): View webpages in tabs
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19261
As it said in the first article, the tab bar option that you are wondering about only affects the behavior of the tab bar when there is only one tab open. If there are multiple tabs open, the tab bar will be shown, regardless of this setting. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

(Chrome Like) Auto-Hide Tab bar in Safari Full Screen mode

Is there a plugin or some other way to auto hide the tab bar in Safari fullscreen mode like the way Chrome does?
This is the only thing stopping me from using Safari, it's way smoother than Chrome and feels much more native to Lion, but the fact the tab bar just keeps hanging there is annoying.
I tried the Cmd+I method mentioned in the community, but it only works when you're only opening one tab, if you open several tabs, the tab bar will show up again. It also comes back up once you exit Full Screen mode.
Thanks for your help !

Hello myzzzl, this is normal behavior in full screen mode, you can set the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.fullscreen.autohide browser.fullscreen.autohide] in about:config to False, to change that, but if you do that tabs and location bar is enabled in full screen mode.
wait if another contributor/helper give you a code which I don't know.
thank you

The tab bar in Safari does not update automatically

Hello,
I have a strange problem with Safari full screen mode and the tab bar always displayed, it does "not update" alone. In fact when I, for example, two tabs and I created a third (by clicking a link) it does not appear immediately. I have to either click on the tab bar and pretend to move one, either click the "Naviagtion tabs" for bar tabs emtte update.
A little heavy, huh?
All my software are up to date and even reinstalled recently, but the problem is still present.
OS X Lion Mountain / / Safari 6.0.2

I solved the problem by uninstalling Glims.

Can't find how make the menu bar on Safari 6 larger so I can actually see it on my new 27" display. Help!

I have new 27" Thunderboldt display with my new 15" retina MacBook Pro. On my last 27" display, I could see the menu bar within Safari and the apple menu bar on the main screen. Now the text is too small and I can't seem to find where to make it larger in my Safri preferences and in my Apple settings. Can someone help, especially with the Safari menu....my eyes are sore.

Check your settings in System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
Try a different resolution.
If nothing there helps, try Sysem Preferences > Accessibillity

How to hide tab bar and application bar? In ID CS4.

Hello all!
Please help! Maybe someone have idea how to disable both?
It is only waste of space imo. Will not use them for sure...
Never opening more than 2-3 docs and than can easy use shortcut ctrl+`. Tabbed pages are good in web browser imho... Application bar is also just useless and (as menu itself) too fat. Most of those are in menu and have shortcuts. New features could be in menu as well.
Don't know why interface changed so much. And why this direction.
I know monitors are bigger nowdays etc - but are wider rather than higher.
Also - maybe new interface is great and ppl love it - but would be nice to have a choice. Some may prefere maximize workspace...
M.

Thanks for responses...
Yes - mac users can be really happy. What about PC? What was wrong with classical menu?
Are designers really works with several documents the same time? So need to use tabs? Well maybe. But those who works with just one or two don't need it really. (Maybe easy solution could be: one doc = no tab, more = tabbed, would be more natural imvho. As well as turning it off for PC users as well.)
So really no trick similar to 'noallcaps'? Notabsbar? Noapplicationbar?
"You can turn off the tabs in the preferences, interface section."
Yes, I can - but no more place coz of this... Window isn't maximized in fact - is floating, what also personally I don't like. Anyway - it is the same size and use the same space as before... If u make next one doc it is even smaller, to show bottom one. Maximizing it to full screen... hiding menu and docked 'control panel' (OK this docked menu can float, np - but where is menu?).
As for maximized letter size document in CS3 vs CS4 it's 131% to 129% on my lcd. Sure - it is not much maybe. But why it must be less? Why to change smthng what was good and aesthetic solution. And why not allow people to use it in classical way? Are Mac users ("to keep the hardcore Mac users happy") better than others? :(

How to display menu bar in safari

New to IOS. Just bought an iPad.
Trying to import bookmarks, but need to have a menu in Safari to do it (according to some instructions I'm using)
Don't see a switch in Settings.

Safari on the iPad does not have a Menu bar. What you see is what it has.
Depending on where you are coming from though you may still have a couple different options.
If you are coming from a Mac, you could ostensibly copy your bookmarks to the Safari browser on the Mac and have the bookmarks then sync through iCloud.
If you are on a Windows computer your best bet is to import your bookmarks to Internet Explorer and use the iCloud Control Panel to sync them over to the iPad.
iCloud Control Panel for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
You could also download one of the 3rd party Firefox sync Apps onto the iPad. They will sync with your Firefox browser and bring the bookmarks onto the iPad. You can then use them to open your Bookmarks on any browser on your iPad including Safari. The downside is the Bookmarks won't be inside Safari, but instead will reside in the sync App and you can open Safari from there.
For example:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sync-for-firefox/id468995230?mt=8
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sync-with-firefox/id611663172?mt=8

Weird problem with tabs bar

So I just installed the new Safari 4 on my iMac after seeing it on my Dad's Macbook. How come his tab bar automatically show's up under the bookmarks bar and mine doesn't? He didn't change any settings or anything, that is just the way his looks after the install, but mine doesn't look like his. He has the address bar(with all the default buttons, etc . . .), bookmarks bar, then the Tabs bar right underneath. Mine just has the address bar and the Bookmarks bar, nothing else. How can I make it look like his?
This is on the official release, not the beta.

Go to Safari>View>Show Tabs bar.

Yosemite hide tab bar

Can you hide the tab bar if there are multiple tabs? The command is grayed out.

Hi MikeAdamsCT,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can only hide the tab bar in Safari if you do not have multiple tabs open.
The article below mentions this for Safari 7 in Mavericks, but the function is the same in Safari 8 on Yosemite:
Safari 7 (Mavericks): Customize the Safari window
Hide or show Safari bars:
From the View menu, choose commands to hide or show the toolbar, Favorites bar, tab bar, or status bar. You can’t hide the tab bar when the window has multiple tabs.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

How to Make Fonts Bigger in Safari Menu Bar and Tabs

Hello,
I just set up a new IMAC 27" for my mom and she cannot read the menu bars and tabs in Safari. I know how to make the text of the webpage itself bigger, but is there any way to make the text in the menu bars and tabs bigger. Someone sugggested Opera browser. Would that be a better option?
Thanks
John

Welcome!
I had the same issue with my 27-inch--here's how I fixed it:
1) Go to System Preferences > Displays and select the "Displays" tab
2) For "Resolution" there are two buttons: "Best for Display" and "Scaled." Select "Scaled."
3) Now you should see a list of resolutions. The default is probably 2560x1440. Change it to 1920x1080.
I don't have great eyes but this setting makes it easy for me to see. It makes all menu bars including Safari about 3/10ths inch wide and the menu lettering close to 1/4-inch tall.

Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,

PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed to a lighter font. How do I change the font back? I'm not speaking of the font size/type in the web browser in viewing web pages, but the font in the application itself has changed. It's rather annoying and would like to be able to change it back! I'm running Safari v5.1.7

OK, Margie, here's what to do . . .
First Quit Safari.
Then Find your User's (Home) folder library.
It's hidden, but here's how you find the Home Library:
Click on the desktop to get the Finder menu. Then go up to "Go" in the menu bar, while holding down the option key.
You'll now see the User Library in the drop down list. Open it, then look for the Fonts folder.
Take the fonts folder to the desktop.
Restart Safari.
Any better?
(Warning: This is only for the Users/Home > Library > Fonts folder. Under no circumstances, should this be done with the SYSTEM > Library > Fonts folder.)

The area at the top of Tab bar where i would type in the webpage is gone, how do i get it back

the area at the top of Tab bar where i would type in the webpage is gone, how do i get it back?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4) < your profile
If that is correct, updating your system software may help the Safari toolbar issue.
Click Software Update from your Apple menu OR open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed then try Safari.
If your software is actually up to date, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If you have any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If the address bar reappears, uninstall one extension at a time, quit and reluanch Safari to test until you find the one that's blocking the address bar.
