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?

  • In Firefox4, can I lose the folder icons from the Bookmarks Bar while keeping icons everywhere else (because the folder icons are superfluous and extend the horizontal list of bookmark folders beyond the width of the window)?

    I've just installed Firefox4 for Mac (OS 10.6.7) and can no longer see all my bookmark folders at once across the top -- because the folder icons make the Bookmarks Bar too wide. Yet, I like the icons on the other bars, so I don't want to turn them off globally. Is there a way to just lose the folder icons -- which don't appear to serve a purpose anyway?

    Small correction to original post. Machine is an iMac 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. (I was at home when I made the first post.) But the bookmarks menu behavior still exists today and FF 5 is essentially unusable.
    System details next to the post are not for machine with the bug in question.
    Found a copy of FF4 to use until a solution is found. Turned off automatic updates to preserve this version.

  • 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.

  • How do you sort the safari  "Bookmarks Bar" bookmarks

    how do you sort the safari  "Bookmarks Bar" bookmarks

    Here is the workaround for sorting your bookmarks - you don't have to do it manually as suggested in the previous answer here. This is from a 2006 page at Hints.Macworld.com
    "One thing that bugs me is that there is no option in Safari to alphabetize bookmarks. I had a crazy idea about how to accomplish this, and it seems to work. Hopefully I'm not missing something more obvious.
    What I did was open the Bookmarks window (Bookmarks: Show All Bookmarks), put the links I wanted to alphabetize into a folder, and then dragged that folder into the Finder. The Finder alphabetizes the bookmarks; you can then just drag the folder back into the Bookmarks window. You probably have to set the Finder to arrange files by name before it will work. Hope this helps!
    [robg adds: When you drag the folder back, you'll now have two folders, the original and the sorted one. Just delete the original, and you're set. You can also do this without first creating a Safari folder. Just select all the bookmarks to be alphabetized, drag them into a new folder in the Finder, open that folder (make sure it's set to sort by name or use column view), then drag the now-sorted bookmarks back into Safari's Bookmarks window. Again, you'll have duplicates, so just delete the originals (which will be grouped above the newly-placed list). I wonder if any of this is scriptable...]"
    If you're like me and you like to keep all of your bookmarks in folders in the Bookmarks bar, then from the Bookmarks window you would open the Bookmarks Bar in a window of its own before doing the above.

  • Help - iPad sync has wiped my desktop Safari bookmarks bar

    Can someone please tell me how I can 'unsync' to restore my desktop Safari bookmarks bar? My wife connected her iPad to my desktop iMac while I was out, and my valuable bookmark bar has been replaced with the one she had on her iPad

    I don't sync bookmarks so I don't know for sure how it would work - but logical reasoning says that if you have Safari bookmarks selected to sync from the Mac to the iPad and back - then if the bookmarks bar that you want to go back to is on your iPad - then sync your iPad to replace what she has done.
    What about a Time Machine Backup - any chance you use Time Machine? I guess that would be too easy.
    I dont know if this would be of any help at all but I found this thread - but you would have to have the bookmarks bar on your iPad the way you want it on the desktop or this will not work.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2752812?start=0&tstart=0
    AFAIK - you cannot "unsync" what your wife has done.

  • Can not delete Fox news icon from Safari Favorites Bar, keeps coming back

    I can not delete "Fox news" icon from Safari Favorites Bar. Dogpile Search engine also.  Both keep coming back with icons upon new opening of Safari.
    I have removed these icons from the Book Mark files and Favorites Bar menu and any reference in the LIbrary and replaced them with less spammy evercookie news and search engines 3 times to no avail.  I just upgraded Safari (April 2014) and it made no difference. These sites represent the paradigm I
    no longer am putting energy into nor want which is why I have rid these increasing more corrupted and cookie agressive sites.  But now.....
    they won't let me go!!  Any one no how?

    Thank you for trying but no not the problem.  Had the same problem with Iphone 4S.  Would not connect to my mail server and tried to send me to fraudulent website in the UK/England.
    I did a restore to factory restore to the phone with upgrade to newest operating system, my was up to date until OS 7 as I heard there were problems.  Now it has OS 7. 
    Neither I nor verizon could get the phone up and connected for service again.  Taking phone to
    apple store on Tues.
    I am suspecting the "heart bleed"  vulnerability.

  • Why don't I have Safari bookmarks bar on iPad2?

    Can Safari bookmarks bar be imported from iMac to Safari on iPad2?

    On the iPad's Info tab when connected to your computer's iTunes there should be an option to sync bookmarks from Safari on a Mac or PC (from the manual) :
    Sync bookmarks with your computer:
    1  Connect iPad to your computer.
    2  In iTunes, select iPad in the sidebar.
    3  Click the Info tab, select “Sync Safari bookmarks” under Other, then click Apply.

  • How do I delete safari bookmarks bar?

    In Safari on my ipod touch, when I go to bookmarks I have Bookmarks Bar at the top, and then other folders and bookmarks. When I hit edit to delete bookmarks, it won't let me delete bookmarks bar. How do I get rid of it? I think I chose sync bookmarks with safari at one time but now I'd rather not and I have it unchecked but it still won't go away.

    You've tried:
    Edit a bookmark or bookmark folder: Tap , choose the folder that has the
    bookmark or folder you want to edit, then tap Edit. Then do one of the following:
    To make a new folder, tap New Folder.
    To delete a bookmark or folder, tap the red minus sign icon, then tap Delete.
    To reposition a bookmark or folder, drag the 3 horizontal lines icon.
    To edit the name or address, or to put it in a different folder, tap the bookmark or folder.
    When you’re finished, tap Done.
    or
    Sync bookmarks with your computer:
    1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
    2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.
    3 Click the Info tab, select “Sync … bookmarks” under Web Browser, then click Apply.
    ... and then deselect “Sync … bookmarks” under Web Browser, and then click Apply.

  • Lost gear icon on safari

    there is no "gear Icon" on my safari home page

    Someone told me there is!  I even so a picture of the Safari tool bar with the gear option.  Anyways, I solved the problem of disabling the Pop Up Windows option.  Your answer comes as a relief.  Thank you.

  • SAFARI - Bookmarks Bar & Bookmarks Menu

    I don't rember if both of these folders existed on my virgin phone or if they came down with the sync but how do yuo delete a Bookmark bar which doesn't exist on iphone safari?
    Also how do you create folders on the iPhone?

    Just been pondering this myself. I've decided not to sync my bookmarks (having checked the box to allow Safari Bookmark syncing when I first bought the iPhone). I'm creating a new folder structure for bookmarks on my iPhone. However, I'd really love to get rid of the Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu folders. Clicking on Edit brings up the round delete icon next to all the other folders apart from these two and the History folder! Actually I wouldn't mind deleting the History folder as well, as I never use it. I thought perhaps I'd be allowed to delete these folders once I unchecked the Safari Bookmarks syncing in iTunes, but I still can't get the option to delete them. Anyone know if it's possible? Or is it a feature?

  • How can I restore icons to safari bookmarks

    When i upgraded to Yosemite ,I lost the icons on my safari bookmarks.How can I restore them

    Hi Barry,
    It should have pick-up the icons automatically from the database that Safari creates
    but it looks like Yosemite may have failed to do so for some odd reason.
    You may have to re-visit all the sites you want icons for again for Safari to rebuild it's database.
    Probably not what you want to hear. In my option Apple is releasing too many OS releases and
    not letting the current OS mature before it goes off on one of it's OS release rampage.

  • A workaround to eliminate Safari "Bookmarks Bar"

    If you sync your bookmarks with your PC based Safari, you get the folders "bookmarks bar" and "bookmarks" on your iPhone. Unnecessary and cluttering, they do not have a "delete" button, nor can they be eliminated from Safari. Annoying. In addition, any bookmarks saved on the iPhone that are not in a folder get saved back on Safari as a folder, not a bookmark. Equally annoying.
    To return to sanity, I sync'ed with a blank Explorer browser, so the offending folders were created there from iPhone. In Explorer I could eliminate the folders and after sycing again, they were now eliminated from the iPhone, freeing up valuable real estate.
    Hope this helps anyone with a similar circumstance.

    Load a site and then drag the image to the left of the address to the toolbar, or choose Add Bookmark from the Bookmarks menu.
