I Can't Open Tabs In Safari On My iMac?

In Safari, if you press command (apple key) T a new tab will open up.
I use this feature a lot on my MacBook but this feature will not work on my iMac.
I have to press "command N" and that opens up a whole new page. I would like to just have all of my pages in one window instead of having 3 or 4 different ones.
Any ideas how to get the tab feature to work in Safari on my iMac?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi
Goto safari's prefs/tabs and check "enable tabbed browsing"

  • Can't open mail or safari after update

    I updated my software when the notice came up and after shutting down and restarting, I can't open mail or safari or itunes. The icons bounce as if starting and then nothing. Can anyone help me with this? I know very little about computers. I am writing this on a PC. (Yikes)

    Hi cantfindwan, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Since installing an icon-editing add-on, I can't open tabs any more / I can only use one tab at a time.

    Ever since I installed the add-on Favicon Picker 2 that lets you change the bookmark icons, I can't open tabs any more. The second tab will open, but if you try to go to a site, the FIRST tab redirects to that site. Basically, I can only use one tab at a time. Is there any way I can keep this add-on and use tabs?

    Oh, wow - look at that, you're right :) I didn't want to uninstall the add-on as I like the feature, but simply by disabling it you can keep the new icons AND use tabs. Thanks dude!
    (The add-on is Favicon Picker 2 0.6.2.15 by the way - some of the user reviews report the same problem.)

  • Can't open the application Safari... not supported on this type of MAC

    Since the 9/20/13 update, I see a circle with a line through it on top of the Safari application. When I try to execute anyway, I get:
       "You can't open the application Safari because it is not supported on this type of Mac."
    I vaguely remember some capability to rollback any updates. Is this true?
    Where should I go from here?

    First you need to clear out some space on the startup volume. You should have at least 9 GB available. Then do as follows.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • IOS 8 - How to Close All Open Tabs in Safari?

    ioS 8 - Is there a way to close all open tabs in Safari on the iPhone?  The workaround in iOS 7 was to hit the "Private" button and then click "Close All Tabs," but that no longer works with the revised private browsing method.  Clicking each tab to close multiple tabs is burdensome if there are a lot open.

    Yes, this is VERY painful after a few days of using Safari: Having to close one window at a time. Ugh.

  • I can see open tabs from my PC on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac on my PC. Why?

    I've set up Sync on my work PC and my home MacBook.
    I can see open tabs from my PC while I'm on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac while I'm on my PC. Why?

    Here is what I am seeing on my Android device - at the top, a few options like History > Top Sites> Bookmarks>Reading List. Then, the search/address bar, then to the right of that, a square with the number "1" inside it, then 3 dots that, when chosen, give you the following options:
    New Tab
    New Private Tab
    Request Desktop Site
    Tools
    Settings
    Any thoughts on how I specifically sync my Desktop open tabs to my Android device so I can then see all my desktop open tabs on my phone?
    Thanks!

  • Can't open gmail in safari

    today i can’t open gmail in safari. of course google is of no help. anyone else having this issue today?

    By use of direct login to their site for webmail, there is no issue here.
    A few days or up to a week ago, there had been reported issues with
    gmail and they managed to fix some causes of that problem. Of course
    when you aren't using a client software to access webmail, there may
    be less issues than when it is set up to negotiate incoming/outgoing
    download/uploads.
    The problem may be based on your geographic location, too.

  • Does wiping an iphone close any open tabs on safari

    Does wiping an iphone close any open tabs on safari and will it erase everything all together including any trace of my apple account

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Wiping your phone will remove everything, inlcuding your open tabs in Safari and your Apple ID from your phone. You will have to set your phone up again after being wiped

  • I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the app "unexpedtely quits" and can't go further. This happens with iTunes (when I turn to the iTunes Store), MacApp Store, Software updates an many other apps...

    I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the affected app "unexpedtely quits", showing a window (sort of expanded dialog box) with the log history, wich form a complete report wich is said to be sent to Apple. Despite that this window has a "restart" button, I haven't been able to go any further from this point, as it repeats the process again and again, impeding me to use the affected app.
    This has get to a critical point, as it is afecting apps like iTunes (especifically when I turn to the iTunes Store from within te app), MacApp Store, Software Updates (I can't update anything, given this problem) and many other apps, including Aperture 3, Fusion 4, integrated Dictionary and Wikipedia, as I've been able to verify.
    As far as I'm concerned, it hasn't affected apps like Office, Vectorworks, Pixelmator, iDraw, Quick Note...
    Can anybody help me on this matter?
    Thanks a lot, in advance...
    Marcus

    Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

    I am new to apple and have backup files from windows xp. Can't open outlook addressbook.wab file on Imac. Also need to find software to open works.wps files. Wont open in Office Mac 2011

    Hello,
    the standard solutions to open Microsoft Works text files on a Mac are ( see for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Works ) :
    - if you have a pc, you can ask Microsoft Works to save them in .doc file ( which is a more << standard >> format ),
    - you can use a online service www.zamzar.com/ to convert them in .doc file,
    - you can use a software solution MacLinkPlus,
    - LibreOffice (or NeofficeOffice, ... ) can also open them but you will probably use some formatting.

  • Can't open iTunes, Mail, Safari, and others since Security Update download

    I see that this subject has come up in other posts - here's my situation -
    I have a four year old Powerbook G4, running on 10.4.11. I downloaded (using Firefox as my browser) Java for OS X 10.4 Release 5, iTunes 7.6.2, and Security Update 2008-02 (Power PC). Since that time, I can no longer open iTunes, Mail, Safari, iChat, Yahoo and MSN Messenger. Software update will not open from the Apple menu, but I can open and run it from the System Preferences panel.
    I tried to re-download Safari and iTunes, but the installer won't open the files - just says that the installer closed unexpectedly and to send the info to Apple.
    I have used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the HD (my HD is not the original HD, but a new one installed two months ago), and the device, without any success.
    Any ideas in where to go from here?

    Should I try doing that before I try the Archive and Install?
    Running DU from the HD will not allow you to repair the HD, but it will allow you to Verify the HD to tell if you need to boot from the Install disk to actually Repair it.
    Should you need/want to do it from the Install Disk...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Also, if I try Archive and Install, will it delete all of my personal files, too, or will these be carried over?
    If you use A&I and choose the Preserve Users & Settings, it should just replace the OS' files and leave all yours intact. About the only way it could fail is Power Failure during it, (make sure Laptops have AC power during A&I or Repairs, , updates, etc.), Bad Disk/Directory info to start with, or flaky RAM or some such odd thing.
