Invisible icons in Safari. Help !!!

Out of the blue, I find I have lost many of the action icons on websites. Was using my default browser Safari to train new editors for our website, and all the editing icons appeared to have gone. If I cut + paste a screen dump into eg an e-mail, the icon boxes are visible, but no icons in Safari. Tried reinstalling Safari, running it with AVG uninstalled (momentarily) , all to no avail. Any ideas ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

The tabs icon in Safari is grey and inactive

The tabs icon in Safari is grey and inactive. How can I activate it?

That did not help :-(
First it looked like it was ok, but when I clicked the +, then it just shut down Safari.
Then I started safari again and the + was grey and inactive again.

Lost "Home" icon above Safari bookmarks bar

The "Home" icon in Safari on my wife's MiniMac (OS 10.4.5) has suddenly disappeared. The icon is a small house and is normally shown just above the Safari bookmarks bar, on the left, next to the forward and back URL buttons. Using Safari's Help page has not produced a solution.
Can anyone help me restore this feature?

Grant,

After upgrading to Yosemite web icons in Safari bookmark list have disappeared

After upgrading to Yosemite web icons in Safari bookmarks have disappeared. Anybody know how to reset this?

Hi ..
The webpage icons database may be corrupted as a result of the upgrade.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db
Click Go then move the WebpageIcons.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
It may take up to a day for your webpage icons to re populate.

This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password. Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal. When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Enter. When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account. Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save. Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
And you have a new password for your account.

Cell phone signal looking icon in Safari?

When Safari loads a new page, I see an icon in the upper left of the page briefly that looks like a cell phone signal meter. What is this? I'm using Safari on a self built Windows 7 machine and was wondering if I had some sort of malware or adware. I do not get this icon using Safari on my MAC.

Are you aware that Apple is dropping support for Safari for Windows > Apple apparently kills Windows PC support in Safari 6.0
Better off using IE or Chrome.

What are these "invisible" icons please?

Hi all,
Since I reinstalled system 10.4.6 (to get it back to 10.4.6 from 10.4.8) I have been having these invisible icons that show up on the alias of my disk drive which is on the lower right hand side of my dock.
When I place my mouse on my hard drive, it shows everything in there as it did before on system 10.3.9, but there are two icons that look like paper with a turned over corner. One is called mach and the other is called mach.sym.
When I actually go into my hard drive, these do not exist which is why I'm calling them invisible. I did a "search" for them also and nothing turned up. How can I get rid of those?
Many thanks in advance.
Martha

"How can I get rid of those?"
You can't. those are core components of the
operating system
Do you have them too?

Mailing a webpage - mistake in Safari Help

I don't know if anyone else has seen this. I was going to mail a webpage to a friend of mine today, but couldn't remember how to do it. I clicked on Safari Help, typed in "mail a webpage", & got this answer:
Choose Edit > Mail Contents of This Page, or Edit > Mail Link to This Page.
The command is actually under the File menu, that is it should say "Choose File > Mail Contents of This Page, or Edit > Mail Link to This Page".
The question here is, has anyone else noticed this?
iMac 2 Ghz G5/160Gb internal HD/DVD/RW Mac OS X (10.4.3) LaCie 80 GB HD, LaCie DVD burner

William,
I noticed it when you pointed it out, but without your observation, would never have known that the difference exists, because I found the Mail feature without the Help documentation.
Some would call that a "Bug," but I just call it an error in documentation.
Perhaps Apple Feedback would be appropriate.

Where has Safari help gone?

I recently had problems with getting help viewer to display help on a number of applications. This was cured after I was pointed at a very helpful web site and deleted various preference files and caches. So although that fixed virtually all the problems I still get nothing when I select Safari help.
Any ideas?

Help is not an application. I just searched for "help" and several of the relevant posts came up on the first page.
This is what Discussions Help says:
"Visit Apple Discussions and navigate to the appropriate hardware or software product forum for which you have an issue or question.
Search or browse the current discussions and FAQs. It's possible that your question or issue has already been answered by other members.
If you don't find answers to your issue, click the Post New Topic link within a forum to post your own question to the Apple Discussions community."

Trying to repair permission and I always get this: Permissions differ on "Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html"; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .

Trying to repair permission and I always get this:
Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .
I even fresh install the system and every time I do repair the permission I always end up with this even though it said repaired.
I figure this is the problem my laptop, sometime it wont save files or documents and it goes in limbo and had to force shutdown and have to restart on the
booth drive to have it permission repair. I just updated to 10.9.3 and will see if this stop the crashing but repair permission notice is still the same.
Any feedback please....Thanks

I see the same thing since the general release of 10.9.3. This did not occur in prior versions.

Hi everyone! I turned on my computer the other day and the icon for Safari was missing from my dock. I looked in the applications folder and it is no longer there. Does anyone know how I can get safari if I have no internet search engine?

Why does Firefox Help open Safari Help??

Am trying to remove a certificate from history. Looked into the Help from the header bar and the Help menu is named Safari Help, not one topic mentions Firefox. All I can think is WTF? It simply makes no sense to be using a Safari Help menu in a Firefox browser.
The Preferences menu for certificates has a delete/mistrust button that does not seem to do anything. By tapping on the arm of my chair I get the same results as tapping on that button.

You can access the Certificate Manager here:
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Certificates/Encryption: View Certificates
You can remove the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to remove all intermediate certificates.<br />
You can only distrust built-in root certificates, but doing this is not recommended.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Hi All, I just purchased the iphone 4S, was upgrading my phone with my itunes acct, its stuck with itunes, cable icon...Help.

Hi All, I just purchased the iphone 4S, was upgrading my phone with my itunes acct, its stuck with itunes, cable icon...Help.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
