Is there a way to hide the tab bar on my I Pad 2 in IOS 5?

Anyone know of a way to hide the tab bar in an I Pad 2 using OS5? It wasn't there on the previous operating system.

I can only assume that you are talking about Safari and the answer is no. Safari now uses tabs. If you want a tab free browser, download iCab. You can use tabs or you also have the old Safari way of browsing open web pages at your disposal. Another rally nice feature is that you can swipe from one open web page to another open web page. It also has a ton of other features that Safari does not have.

  • Is there any way to hide the menu bar?

    I've been trying to find out if there's a way to hide the menu bar unless the mouse pointer is pushed up to the upper edge of the screen, I know there are third-party applications that let you do this (Menufela which uses Application Enhancer that I prefer to avoid as it is causes more problems than it solves as far as I'm concerned), I also know that it's possible to write applications that cause the menu bar to exhibit this behaviour while they're focused.
    But what I'm looking for is a way to make it behave this way all the time without installing Application Enhancer and having to deal with all the headaches that come with it.

    It does seem odd that you can't get the menu bar to hide itself though, I seem to recall something about editing certain files in .app directories to make it hide itself on an app-by-app basis.
    To hide the menu bar for a single application, you need to modify the Info.plist, as described -> here <-.
    This will work on nearly every application. Only on a very few applications it will cause incorrect behaviour, mainly Finder.app.
    So a simple way to realise your wishes, is to create an Applescript, that will "hide and unhide" the menubar for a couple of apps at one time.
    Here a demonstration example: Choose one or more apps. Menu bar will be hidden/unhidden:
    <pre style="
    font-family: 'Courier New', Courier;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 1;
    border: 2px solid #1E90FF;
    width: 700px; height: 200px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #F5FFFA;
    overflow: auto;">
    on run
    set xyz to choose file default location (path to "apps" as alias) with multiple selections allowed without invisibles
    repeat with i in xyz
    set appName to name of (get info for i)
    if appName ends with ".app" then set proName to text 1 thru -5 of appName
    tell application "Finder"
    try
    if exists (process proName) then
    set x to display dialog "Is " & "\"" & proName & "\"" & " still running? If so, please quit it now!" buttons {"Cancel", "Quit it!", "No! Not running!"} default button 2 with icon 0
    end if
    end try
    end tell
    try
    if button returned of x is "Quit it!" then
    tell application appName
    quit
    end tell
    end if
    end try
    try
    ((i as Unicode text) & "Contents:Info.plist") as alias
    set infoPlist to quoted form of POSIX path of ((i as Unicode text) & "Contents:Info")
    try
    do shell script "defaults read " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode"
    do shell script "defaults delete " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode"
    on error
    do shell script "defaults write " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode -int 4"

    end try

  • Is there a way to hide the status bar when reading a book in iBooks?

    Every other ereader app seems to hide the status bar (at the top of the screen, with battery etc) automatically, or there is a setting to do so. I can't seem to be able to do this in iBooks. What am I missing?

    Nothing - afaik iBook can't do that trick

  • Is there a way to move the tabs bar back where it was in the older version, meaning under the address bar?

    When I downloaded Firefox 4 my tabs bar moved to the top and I hate it there. I like where it was in the previous version. Is there perchance a way to move it underneath the address bar again? Thanks in advance.

    Right-click on a toolbar, then click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.

  • Is there a way to hide the bookmarks bar in iOS 8 on the iPad? It takes up a large part of the screen when in landscape mode

    Since I upgraded to iOS8, my iPad screen permanently shows the bookmarks bar down the left. This means I can only use about ⅔ of the screen when in landscape mode. Is there something I am missing which allows me to hide/show the bookmarks bar? Thanks

    TThank you so much! I felt it must be something straightforward.

  • Is there a way to hide the task bar that always displays in Mac OS?

    I'm referring to the area shown in the attached image.

    The menu bar is needed to turn off the Mac and to access to all the tools of all apps, so it's necessary to keep it there. Also, it can only be hidden when you are running a full-screen app (near all apps on OS X Lion and Mountain Lion work in this mode)

  • Safari-Is there any way to stop the tab bar from disappearing when you scroll down?

    It's really annoying.  I know tapping it makes it come back, but still.

    You will find that this is application dependent.  Most Apple applications such as Safari and Mail will use the "sheet" type of dialog boxes that you are referring.  There is no way for the user to change that behavior.  Other, non-Apple, applications like Firefox use a "modal" dialog box for printing etc.  The modal boxes can be moved around so you can see the page behind.

  • Is there a way to extend the tab-bar downward, as in Windows? Sometimes I have so many tabs open I cannot view them all. Thank you very much!

    When I have 10+ applications open in Windows 7, I can click and grab the toolbar edge and drag upward, causing a "second" row of viewable and operating applications.
    I was just wondering if the same could be done with Firefox. It's not a tragic issue. Sometimes I get many, many tabs going and (trust me Firefox is my favorite) would like to see all tabs at the same time, even if it causes 2 rows of tabs and cuts down on my viewable screen area.
    Thank you very much !

    Here is one add-on that lets you add more rows of tabs in Firefox:

  • Is there a way to hide the SSID?

    On my old Linksys router I could choose to not broadcast the SSID as a form of added security (a hacker won't hack what he doesn't know exists). Instead of it showing up in the list of available networks, you had to type it in manually.
    It finally broke and I bought an AirPort Extreme which I just set up a few minutes ago. Created a new network, new password, etc. But there doesn't seem to be an option to not broadcast the SSID that I could see.
    Is there any way to hide the SSID from people looking for available networks?

    yes.
    launch *airport utility* and enter +manual setup+ for your device. go to the wireless tab and click on +wireless options+. find the check box for +create a closed network+ and update the AEBS.
    edit: don't be fooled, though. clients connected to a hidden (closed) network still broadcast the SSID openly. there are a number of freely available tools out there that can pick up a hidden network in a snap.

  • Is there a way to force the tab order to skip a page and then return to that page on a form?

    I have a multi-page form with a required page layout.  The problem with the current form layout, is that I'm finding my users are getting to page "20" and it seems like the natural end of the form...and stop entering information and submit.  The problem is, there's an additional form field on the next page that MIGHT need important information.
    The information in that final field is only present in about 10% of submissions, but is crucial to the file if present.  As I said, the page layout is required.
    Is there a way to change the tab order to go from the last form field on page "19" to the form field on page "21" and then back to the form fields on page "20"?

    Thanks try67, but it isn't a required field.  As I mentioned, only about 20% of submissions will require filling it in. 
    There isn't a submit button.  Not even sure what I would do with/or how I would implement a submit button.  After processing the form, the filled out form is 'Saved As' to keep the original forms integrity intact.  The 'Saved As' file  is renamed appropriately, and then it is printed to a PDF file and attached to the appropriate customer file.

    Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

    Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

    Hi,
    If you want to do any custom formatting to the workbook and you do not want it to reset when you refresh the workbook,
    You will have to You can deactivate the function for adjusting the formatting (Adjust Formatting after Refreshing) in the Display Options of the Query Properties.
    When you do this, you can have your own formatting for the workbook and it will not be affected when you refresh the workbook.

  • Re: Is there a way to hide the launcher in Win95?

    If you read the Systems Manager manual you can find how to use the short cut to
    start your application using the ftcmd or ftexec.
    The following is an example of one that I use.
    C:\forte\install\bin\ftexec.exe -fi bt:C:\forte\userapp\APPWIN\cl0\APPWIN0 -fns
    SYSNAME:5000
    Hope this helps.

    I'm guessing what really needs to be closed is the launch server window,
    right? That's the one that runs as an "MS-DOS" box in the task bar.
    The launcher is just the little applet that can run other applications.
    As far as we have been able to discover here, the only way to make the
    launch server close after the application exits is to code it into your
    application. Forte doesn't really want to close it though, because it is
    used to fire off any and all application that get run using "ftcmd" or
    the LaunchService.RunApplet method call.
    If you don't need to use Forte's application distribution mechanism
    (i.e. having it create icons in "Forte Applications" for you), you can
    do as mentioned earlier and run things as an "ftexec" instead of an
    "ftcmd".
    It would be nice if Forte let you decide what type of icon you want it
    to create when you install an application on a given node.

    Joseph,
    Try setting FORTE_LAUNCHER_CLOSE=TRUE. This is supposed to
    shut down the
    launcher after an application is launched. The default is FALSE.
    You can hide the console window when launched via FTExec by:
    aW : Window = new();
    aW.windowsystem.ConsoleWindowDisplayState = DS_HIDDEN;
    Hope this helps!

  • Looking for a way to hide the menu bar

    hey all, i've been looking for a way to hide the menu bar completely and then mouse over it to bring it back, like how the dock is when it's hidden. i want the same thing for the menu bar to free up a little more space and make it a little cleaner looking. i'm currently using eclipse just to black it out completely but there's just a black bar across the top of my screen with it and i just want it gone. any suggestions?

    As an aside; if you need to keep several apps fairly close to hand without cluttering the menu bar or dock, create a folder within your Applications folder, and place aliases of the apps in there, then drag the folder to the dock below the divider (next to the trash). Right click on the folder in the dock to get a pop-up list to choose from. I use the same idea for frequently used files and games too (seperate folders)
