Lost address bar on safari

I have lost the address bar on Safari. Any help getting it back?

Hi mbert and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Are you talking about the Address Book not being bookmarked? If so, read on:
If your address book isn’t bookmarked
If you don’t see your address book listed as a collection in your bookmarks library, or the Address Book Collection doesn’t contain any websites, the information here may help.
Here are some things to try:
■
Choose Safari > Preferences and click the Bookmarks tab. Make sure that Include Address Book is checked. You can add the address book to the bookmarks bar, menu, and/or library (as a collection).
■
In your address book, check to see if any of your contacts have websites listed in the “home page” field. If no websites are listed, there are no home pages to include as bookmarks.

    My favorite folders not showing up under address bar on safari anymore on my iPad Air.The folders are still there for me to save to just not visible, I do have the tab under settings, safari, set to on to show the favorites, and did reset the iPad, thanks

    Quit all apps (Double tap the Home button and swipe the preview page up for each open app) then Reset (Hold the Sleep/Wake & Home buttons until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears - no data will bee lost)
    Make sure you have your Favorites selected properly here: Settings > Safari > Favorites

  • Lost Address Bar

    I have lost the Web Address Bar in Safari. How do I get it back?
    There used to be a Web Address Bar and beside that a Google Search Bar. All that remains is a long Google Search Bar. It is also missing from Default Toolbar in Customize Toolbar.  This is what my Customize Toolbar page looks like.....
    And this is my Toolbar....
    The highlighted blue bar above is the Google Search Bar
    Can anyone help,
    Thanks

    Now its just one. You can't separate it.

  • How do I change the size of the address bar in Safari in Yosemite?

    I'm hating all this blank space.  Plus, I work with many open windows and am constantly copying and pasting links into the address bar in Safari, so it works better for me to have a longer address bar.  I've already poked around in Preferences and the Customize Toolbar, but maybe I overlooked something. Does anyone know if this can be changed?

    Yes. I tried deleting the spacers, moving the spacers, removing and re-adding the address bar, and nothing.  All it does is add blank space to the end (And actually that picture got cut off. There's space on the right side too).  I tried adjusting the space, but I don't think I can do that either?

  • How do I delete memorized sites from address bar in Safari?

    Hello,
    I already read a lot of similar questions but didn't really find an answer. And I'm sorry if something is not well written as english is not my first language.
    I'm trying to completely clear my address bar in safari, which still shows the same suggested sites everytime I write the first words of them. (For example, if I write "y", it shows me a couple of specific youtube links)
    I tried deleting history and datas from safari settings, removing everything from the autocomplete menu, I deleted all my favorites and I also tried that turn off- turn on option. But they still appear everytime I start writing on safari.
    I think they're somewhere memorizad on my ipad but I really didn't know it. Do u have any ideas about that?
    Thank you!

    You said you have done Settings > Safari > Clear Histoy.  You might try that again.
    Also try Settings > Safari > Clear cookies and data.

  • Lost address bar, bookmarks

    My 80-year-old father, who lives 250 miles from me, called today to tell me that Safari "went crazy" and he had to reboot. When he restarted, all his bookmarks were gone. More seriously, his address bar is gone.
    The View menu has a command, "Hide address bar." When he chooses it, it is still gone and it says "Show address bar." When he chooses it, it is still gone. He tried to restore it using the "Customize address bar" command, but the address bar is still gone.
    He is running OS X 10.4 on an iMac G5. I suggested he upgrade to 10.4.4, which he did but it did not solve the problem. He tried to install Safari 2.01 for OSX 10.4.4, but it returned an error that it could only be installed on 10.4.4, which is what he was running.
    I told him to find his system DVD and reinstall Safari. But for the future, what could cause the disappearance of the address bar? What could cause the loss of bookmarks (which he says he has suffered before)? If bookmarks are lost, can they be restored?
    Thanks for any help,
    Randal

    Let me get this straight . . . your 80-year old father is doing system upgrades and reinstalls? He sounds like one sharp character!
    I have no idea how these things got lost, but the bookmarks can be saved and restored. They're at Library/safari/bookmarks.plist. If he has a subscription to dot Mac, he can use the Backup program to back up to an Apple server (called his iDisk), or to DVD, CD, or an external drive.
    I think he could also load a "demonstration" version of Backup that would let him backup to CD or DVD, for free, from the dot Mac site at http://www.apple.com/dotmac/
    Backup files are compressed. I've not tried it, but I'd guess he could also copy the file to another file and/or CD or DVD.

  • Lost address bar- HELP!

    My mouse went crazy making it right click everything. Anyhow, I was trying to get it to get it back to normal and clicking multiple times. Doing that I accidently (somehow) got rid of my url (where the http://www.mac.com goes) bar! Thankfully, I was in safari and at the apple website when I lost the url bar so I could direct myself to the Support>DIscussions. Does anyone know how to get the url bar back? I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me!
    Also, if anyone knows how to keep your mouse from right-clicking everything let me know!

    Look in the menu bar under view (I think that's the English translation I work with the Dutch version of Safari, anyway it's left of history) and see if the address bar is still there and click it. That should do it.

  • Lost address bar/area

    i've lost my address bar and don't know where to find it.
    i've confirmed that it is there in firefox and internet explorer but not safari.
    i upgraded to safari 3.2.3 but still no address bar.
    i've gone thru all of the preferences and even reset safari but no luck.
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks,

    I have this problem and have tried both solutions listed but it does not appear.
    When I open the Customize the address and Google boxes appear, but when closing the Customize window they disappear again.
    I have tried resetting Safari and no change.
    I have tried closing the window without the address box, selecting an exising window with the box and starting a new window but the new window appears without the address or google box.

  • Can no longer hide toolbar/address bar in safari 7.0.1

    Since I own the smaller 13" macbook, I was very impressed with the full screen version of applications Apple introduced...whenever they introduced them -especially safari. I always enjoyed that I could go full screen, hide the address/toolbar, and have only the thin line of tabs at the top, being free to cmd-L whenever I wanted to use the address bar, it going away afterwards. It really freed up a lot of the screen, making me less aware of how small it is. 
    I can no longer do this. When I right click on the toolbar - there use to be an option to "hide toolbar" - now there is only "customize toolbar". Under the "view" tab the option to hide the toolbar is grayed out (I still have the option when I'm not in full screen mode). Additionally, the old cmd-option-| doesn't work anymore either.
    What gives? Am I doing something wrong, or is this purposeful? If so, is there any way I can get back to the older version of Safari that had this option?  
    thanks a million,
    b

    You can't hide the toolbar in full-screen mode. That's the design. Before you ask, I have nothing to do with Apple and I don't know any more than you do about its design decisions.

  • What happened to address bar in safari under Mountain lion

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday.  Now, in safari, I no longer have an address bar.  In customize toolbar, I see there is only the option to add/have 'search google or enter an address'.  So have they combined this field?  If so, in the old address bar field, there was a star to click on to add the page to our bookmarks, which opened the list and let us choose a folder.  I no longer have that option.
    Any help?
    michelle

    It is now a unified address and search bar. there is a + button in the Customize Toolbar in the View menu item. This will allow you to choose what folder to add your page.

  • Clearing address bar w/ safari

    I can't clear my address bar. I've cleared history, cleared cache, reset safari, unchecked boxes in auto fill under preference (and cleared the edit next to box). I use a new powerbook with tiger, HOW DO YOU CLEAR THE ADDRESS BAR????

    If you have cleared your history and cache and the sites are still appearing but you don't think they are bookmarks, run the following test:
    1. Close Safari.
    2. Go to the user name>Library>Safari folder.
    3. Drag the Bookmarks.plist file to your desktop.
    4. Open Safari.
    5. Before doing anything else, clear your cache & history.
    6. Type some addresses into the address window and see what pops up.
    7. Close Safari.
    8. Drag Bookmarks.plist from your desktop back to the user name>Library>Safari folder.
    9. Click on Replace to have your original bookmarks file replace the new, empty one created by Safari when you ran this test.
