My address bar has disappeared in Safari 5.1 - not the same issue as discussed elsewhere in Forum

My address bar has disappeared in Safari 5.1. When I click "Customize Toolbar"  to fix it, the Home and arrow buttons become unusable--they just click but nothing happens.See image below.
I have to close the window and open a new one to get the buttons to work, but the address bar does not return.
I am running OS 10.6.8.
Any suggestions?

Sorry, can't view the image. Try reformatting to JPG.
Re the toolbar. Since this issue started after the 5.1 update, could be a third party Safari add on that was compatible with the prior version of Safari but not 5.1 that's preventing the Toolbar to load correctly.

    The Safari web address bar has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    Thanks Roger I can now see the name of the website and if I right click on the name it shows me the web address. I used to be able to see the web address e.g. "https//google.co.uk" in this bar without having to right click on the name, is there a way of bringing this back?

    Choose Show Toolbar or Customize Toolbar from the View menu and put it back.

    In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

    Open General preferences in System Preferences. You can set the desired scrollbar behavior there.

  • Downloaded Mt Lion Yesterday and my Tool bar has disappeared. I can still access the individual tools but cannot see my header.  I used 'help' and did what it suggested. slected 'hide tool bar' and then 'show toolbar'.  I also restarted etc.

    Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
    While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
    P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing.

  • My address bar has disappeared!

    Hi, my address bar where i would normally type a web address has disappeared. i don't know why. I have run virus scans and it doesn't appear to be that. I don't know how to get the address bar back. can you help please?

    * If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent
    See [[Menu bar is missing]])
    * Make sure that the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • Customize Address Bar has disappeared!

    I'm running Safari (2.0.4 419.3) and suddenly (the past week or so) my "Customize Address Bar" menu item has disappeared and has been replaced with a laundry list of menu items. Somehow I think I caused this, but really I just want to fix it and get the Customize Address Bar item back.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Ron

    Hi ya Ron, you are most welcome; )
    It used to work, really.
    Due to your first post, how do you think you altered it, she asks again;
    alright you need not say;~))
    Try running disk permission repair, to do so.
    First, "Quit" all Applications.
    Go to your Applications folder, see the Utilities folder, click on that
    Now find the Disk Utility.
    Double click to launch Disk Utility
    Your HD will show up in the left side bar. Click on your HD.
    Once you click on it, you will see the toolbar, click on "First Aid" tab
    Click on button "Disk permissions repair". also on the left side of the
    window, run repair not verify.
    Now do a restart, when it has rebooted, restart once more.
    This fixes a lot of problems, I hope it will fix this one for you.
    If you already know how to, sorry just can to be clear.
    as an aside to make a √, hold the option key down √ and click the v key
    Please let me know if the perm run helps any, <fingers crossed>I hope so.

  • Address field has disappeared on Safari

    The address field on Safari 4.1.3 on a Mac running 10.4.11 has disappeared. Worse, there is no function for open location and the keyboard command will not work either. I can only go to websites that are bookmarked.

    Hi,
    From your Safari menu bar click View / Customize Toolbar.
    Drag the default toolbar or individual items straight up to the toolbar area in your Safari window.

  • Address bar has disappeared

    Can't find address bar

    I am not sure what an address bar is, but if you mean the place you type http etc and it is not visible you should do this. Click on view at the top of your screen, then click on toolbars in the drop down menu. If the Navigation toolbar does not have a check mark beside it, then click on that and the navigation should return.

  • Bookmark bar has disappeared - how can I reinstate? The bookmarks stil exist

    Bookmarks onn the bokmark bar have disappeared. The still exist as a list. How can I reinstate them to the bar?

    Sorry, my iPad is mainly used with my PC and I only occasionally connect it to my (fairly new) mac, so my knowledge of the Calendar app and iCal is limited, but I assume that it's a setting somewhere on iCal on the Mac (there is a setting in iCal on the Advanced tab in its Preferences for 'Delete Events ... days after they have passed' - is that ticked ?)

  • Another Safari display problem - not the same as others

    Hello,
    Has anyone seen this happen and know what is going on? This affects both Safari and Explorer but doesn't affect Camino or other browsers.
    Thanks.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Unfortunately it does not solve the problem. Anyway, this can't be just related to Safari cache as it seems to affect IE too. (Not that I'm using IE). On top of that, if I create a brand new user and go try it, it still looks the same. I doubt a brand new user would have a cache problem since there is no cache for that user yet!!
    Is this exactly the kind of thing you saw with your problem? I wish your solution worked. For now, I've switched to using FireFox instead, but I'm nervous that this Safari behavior is just a pre-amble of something else that is wrong with my system.
    Thanks ... anyone else?
