Lost my downloads tab in my safari bar

Lost my download tab in the Safari toolbar, my 'show downloads' is greyed out and I have no idea why it just happened this week? Can't seem to get it back, any clues?

Safari 6 ?
When the downloads list is empty, the Downloads button is hidden.

When you download some items again, Downloads button will reappear.
Best.

  • What happened to the downloads tab in safari - yosemite?

    Cant seem to find the downloads tab that used to be in the upper right hand corner near the link bar in os x yosemite?

    One possibility is that there are no files in the Downloads, or that the Safari list has been cleared.  What happens if you download something - does the tab appear?
    Also, in the View menu there is a command "Show Downloads" you might try.

  • Lost Tabs after unwanted tool bar over wrote my tabs.

    My new tab started to show adverts instead oft he normal nine thumbnails. This was after a file download which was obviously highjacked.
    I managed to get the original new tab screen back by restoring the tool bars.
    At that stage I had all my tabs showing.
    I had problems getting bask to the original options and in the process I managed to loose all my tabs.
    Firefox now only sees the current tabs and cannot find my old ones. I've tried all the relevant options in restoring recent tabs etc. but Firefox itself seems to have lost the old tabs for good.
    Question.
    Is there a possibility that the old tabs are held in an old file which might be able to be renamed to allow Firefox to recover the tabs?
    If so the filename and folder of the old tabs and the filename and folder of that Firefox can access would be very much appreciated.

    Additional information.
    The missing tab https addresses are shown as selectable address options when trying to do an internet search in a new tab. So Firefox has them, they are just not linked to tabs.
    A response would be much appreciated.

    Safari problem:  when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows.  What's going on?  Just started yesterday.  I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
    I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success.  What's going on and how can I fix it?
    Thanks,

    PS:  I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

    A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    As for which OS X is installed.
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    The version is noted there.
    v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion  v10.8 Mountain Lion
    It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

  • Pdf download not appearing in safari download tab

    Hi
    Recently I have discovered a problem,whenever I download a document the document automatically appears in the safari download tab (the tab with the arrow facing downwards) however this does not occur for pdf files. The pdf will download and go straight into my downloads folder in the dock, but it does not show in the safari download tab. This is a problem for me as i can't easily access my recenetly downloaded folders via the safari tab.
    any help would be appreciated
    cheers

    The same situation is happening to me I bought motion 5 first and the FCP X and the FCPX shows up as install but the Motion 5 shows up like its not installed, but in the purchase section FCPX does not show only Motion 5, and if I click on motion 5 to install it it tells me that it was not purchase in that app store that it was purchase in another app store, but my bank account shows up like if it was already purchase I am afraid to hit install in the motion tab install because it tells me if I want to buy it again.

  • I lost the icons for downloads and documents on doc bar

    I lost the icons for the downloads and documents on doc bar. I read the other support answers and tried what they said still no luck. any answers?

    If you mean they're on the dock but have the wrong icon, right click and select "display as folder".
    If you mean that they aren't there at all, open a Finder window to your Home folder.  Drag the documents folder to the right side of the dock.  Do the same with the downloads folder.

  • Having updated my ipad to ios 8 I have now lost the X to close the safari tabs, how do I get around this?

    I have updated my ipad to IOS 8 and have now lost the X to close my safari tabs.  How I am supposed to close the tabs now?

    If you have more than one tab open, you should still see the "x". When you are down to the last tab, you will need to tap the View Open Tabs icon (upper right, looks like two over lapping squares). You also access Private Browsing from there.

  • I've lost my Downloads icon. Its not even in Finder, so I'm baffled!! A little box shows up when I am actually downloading stuff, then disappears. Where has it gone?? CCinNZ

    I've lost my Downloads icon. It's not in Finder or anywhere else I've looked.
    Has anyone found the solution as to where it goes.
    I simply want to drag it back to my Dock.
    Help.

    Not Lost, just leave a downloaded Application or pdf in it and it will stay on the safari tool bar..
    Downloaded files e.g.from Mail stay in the downloads folder in your home account in finder although this can be changed in Safari preferences.

    You don't need to upgrade your software.  But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
    If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3.  It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC.  More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

    If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins.  A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

  • I have a Iphone and I want to downloa a game but it's over 50MG or MB so it says you must connect to wifi or download from a computer so I downloaded it from the computer and the computer says the downloads done but the app bar is empty and says waiting..

    Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
    Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
    To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

  • When I download pdf files in Safari I get a black screen.  However, if I open a pdf in Mail it is viewable in Preview.  How do I fix this?

    When I download pdf files in Safari I get a black screen.  However, if I open a pdf in Mail it is viewable in Preview.  What is wrong?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
