Intermittent cursor disappear on safari's bookmark bar

Generally cursor shape changing is honored. But in some cases, e.g. Safari, cursor would disappear on bookmark bar 30% of the time. It could be Intel Graphics Driver issues too.

I've seen this happen before, even in previous versions of Safaria and OS X. Often it seems to occur when there is Flash content on the page.

  • 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.) 

  • Problems opening a New Tab in Safari from Bookmark Bar Folder

    When I am in Safari and attempt to Open a link to a new tab from the Bookmark Bar that is part of a Folder on the Bookmark bar it does nothing.
    I can change the preferences to auto-click for the Bookmark Folders, but then every link loads when I try to access the folder from the Bookmark Bar. Very cool to see lots of pages loading at once, but not what I'm after. Doesn't seem to be a way to just load 1 link from the folder
    If its a single link on the Bookmark Bar that has not been organized into a Folder it does work.

    You know what? - my Safari works just the same way.... but I'd never noticed before.
    I've used apple-click to open single bookmarks from the bar, many times. But have always ( for no particular reason) opened a new tab first ( apple-T ) if I've been looking for bookmarks within a folder.

  • 10.9.2 update replaces safari favorites bookmark bar

    Since updating a few days I've had the problem of an old favorites bar appearing in Safari each time I restart my Mac.  Each time I've had to restore the bookmarks.plist from a former time machine backup, but I'd like not to have to do that each time.
    Can anyone tell me why that happens, and, more importantly, how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Patrick

    I disabled the auto-updates after the second auto-update yesterday (and after the Time Machine restore to 10.9.1). The update had already been downloaded prior to that. Apps started nagging me this morning about the update - again. There is no "cancel" option, all I do is click on "Remind me tomorrow". I suspect it will install it again anyway in the days ahead, or I may go ahead and do the update and see if the nav bar is still there given the Preferences > General fix. Thanks.

  • After IOS 8 update, bookmark bar won't go away

    After upgrading to IOS 8 on my iPad 2, in landscape mode in Safari, the bookmarks bar, now combined with links and "Reading List", won't go away. I believe it is supposed to go away when you select one of the functions, such as bookmark, so that the tab turns blue, then hit it again. It doesn't. I can turn it to portrait mode to make it go away, but I'd like to use landscape mode without losing a third of the screen to bookmarks.

    Apple knows what's good for you - how dare you criticizing their benevolent parental guidance?
    Jokes aside, I'm also a little bit puzzled that there's no option to choose between the "toggle on-off" setting in landscape mode and the fade out one as in portrait In Safari's settings. But there's actually some kind of workaround I'm now using most of the time in landscape mode:
    When tapping the URL address bar your bookmarks will also show above the virtual keyboard as they do when Safari doesn't have any websites opened. As soon as one taps into that bookmark window to scroll or directly click a bookmark the keyboard disappears again. It may not be a perfect method, especially when bookmarks aren't organized in folders, because the top level bookmarks are displayed as rather largish icons. But those contained in a folder will actually display as a drop-down list (can be scrolled when having a large number of entries) similar to the normal bookmarks list. Once a bookmark has been clicked everything fades out and you're taken to the selected site. As my bookmarks are almost exclusively in folders such as "News", "Sports", "Tech" etc. I've come to appreciate this kind of bookmark navigation much more than through the standard bookmarks menu with its annoying behavior in landscape mode.

  • My bookmarks bar is gone with all my saved favorites, can i retrieve?

  • Opening folders in the bookmarks bar

    Is it possible to make folders in the bookmarks bar to open "like other menus" i.e. when you move your mouse to the next folder the old one closes and the new one opens. Now I have to click the new menufolder twice. The first click closes the old one and the second opens the new one.

    I am running 10.6.7 and Safari 5.0.5 on a MBP silver keys) and I am not able to get Safari to save bookmarks to the bar. I have tried a few times now but whenever I quit and reopen Safari the bookmark bar resets to the default. GRRRR

  • Mouse cursor disappearing

    I am using Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse and when I am browsing around on the internet my cursor seems to disappear occasionally if i move it into the toolbars... (back, forward, stop, address etc..) i can still click on things and stuff but i can't see the cursor?
    Any ideas?

    Yes I understand, It is almost as if the pointer
    slips under the buttons on the left of the toolbar,
    where the back & forward buttons are, for me it is
    has also been on the page as I approach the toolbar.
    I have no doubt it is the same sort of thing, as a
    matter of fact I had it happen yesterday on an AOL
    page, which I just tested on W3C....
    I encountered precisely this "arrow cursor disappears" or "mouse cursor disappears" in Safari uptodate on MacBook 2GHz w 1GB RAM. But I observed it on only a single page of a large site (www.philly.com).
    Thus I assume it is the coding of that page and Safari's picky rendering of W3C standards... and a W3C Validator check of that page's URL produced hundreds of errors in its coding, which I forwarded to the offending site's webmaster.
    Failed validation, 118
    Errors, clearly validated poorly using the beta v. of W3C.
    Mark up Validator.
    When you run into the problem check the site.
    The regular W3C
    Markup Validation Service gave this
    ->:Result: Failed validation,
    57 errors.
    I noticed that I didn't have the disappearing curser
    tonight when I visited the same AOL page in
    Del.ici.cous, using Safari Webkit
    I also just Installed "Security Update 2007-004, via
    SwUpdter not sure if that made any difference, which
    is recommended.
    Eme mentioned having just installed some software updates but didn't say what happened afterwards. In my case it only began to appear AFTER I installed "Security Update 2007-005 (Universal)" (1.1) and "Security Update (QuickTime 7.1.6)" (1.0).

  • Bookmarks Bar totally empty all of a sudden

    Today I noticed a weird thing on my iPad 2: Safari's bookmark bar was totally empty! It's there but it's empty! All bookmarks in it gone. And I almost always use the bookmarks in that bar!
    I went to my MacBook Air: same thing! Empty!
    I went to my iMac at home: guess what -- empty!
    Holy crap! Thanks to some wonderfully sophisticated cloud thing or MobileMe thing sync seems to have screwed up the bookmarks bar!
    It's still empty and I'm afraid to open my MacBook Pro and open Safari because I might be too slow to stop MobeilMe syncing from replicating the error to that MacBook Pro, too!
    Is there any help? Any idea? Anything I can do?

    That's not good...
    On either your MBAir or your iMac, open System Preferences then select MobileMe. Select the Sync tab.
    Make sure: Bookmarks is selected. Click Sync Now
    If that didn't help, click the Advanced tab. Now click: Reset Sync Data
    If that didn't help, click your Apple menu (on your Macs) then click Software Update.

  • Bookmarks bar vs favorite bar

    What is the difference between these?
    I sometimes bookmark an item on my iPad but it shows in a different file on my Mac.
    Getting ready to get a new iMac and want to understand Safari better. When I am at a site, I bookmark and save in favorites but should be saving as a bookmark instead of a favorite, correct?
    Anyone can send me info/link to get this straight before I set up the new Mac?
    Thanks,
    Don

  • Please add Favicons to the bookmarks bar!

    Apple, please please please get this done. It's a feature that keeps so many users from switching to Safari.

    My bookmarks bar has favicons in the folders.
    Here is the "News" folder I have.

  • The bookmarks disappeared in safari on iPad and I am unable to create new ones or bring back the bookmark bar

    During the day yesterday, the bookmarks I had in Safari disappeared, as well as the bookmark bar.  In preferences I still have the "show bookmark bar always" option marked.  When I hit the bookmark symbol, to create the bookmarks the display has changed and it looks like it is creating a new bookmark, but when I go into bookmarks it is no longer there.

    Tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Safari off then back on.
    Give iCloud a minute or two to sync your bookmarks.

  • Safari bookmarks bar disappears - even when settings set to display

    Not sure if anyone else has this bug, but the bookmarks bar in Safari disappears even after the option is turned on in Settings/Safari.
    Ideas?

    Another detail is that I am set to sync bookmarks via MobileMe. That is working fine.

  • Safari 5.1.4 renaming "Bookmarks Bar" to "BookmarksBar", causing the bookmarks bar to disappear

    After I upgraded to Safari.5.1.4, I noticed that my bookmarks bar was completely gone. I went into Show All Bookmarks, and I noticed under the BOOKMARKS heading on the left, there was a folder called "BookmarksBar" (without the space between Bookmarks and Bar). Thinking I did something wrong, I used drag and drop to move all the folders from "BookmarksBar" to "Bookmarks Bar". Once I did this, the bookmarks bar appeared correctly.
    However, after shutting down Safari and restarting, the bookmarks bar was gone again! I did a Show All Bookmarks, and the "Bookmarks Bar" folder was again renamed "BookmarksBar". It seems now that I can't maintain my bookmarks bar between Safari sessions.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Hi...
    You mentioned both bookmarks and extensions in your orginal post on this thread >  https://discussions.apple.com/message/17872836#17872836
    The problem is when you start multiple threads for the same issues, we have to go back and check each thread to see what troubleshooting that's been tried that hasn't worked for you. That is time consuming not just for us but for you as well.
