My bookmarklets keep disappearing in Safari toolbar

The bookmarklets / bookmarks I've placed in my Safari toolbar area keep disappearing. I have no idea why. Any thoughts out there?

HI Christine...
Might be corrupted Safari preferences (.plist)
Quit Safari.
Click the Finder icon in your Dock. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this this exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Then click Go.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop
Relaunch Safari. If that helped, move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash. If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.

Acrobat X toolbar keeps disappearing in IE9.0

Having trouble with Acrobat X tool bars. I had to retrograde from MSIE (Internet Explorer) 10.0 back to 9.0 due to other issues. Now my Acrobat Toolbar in IE 9.0 keeps disappearing. When it is present, all works fine. When it is gone, I cannot open webpage PDFs even with <right click - open in another tab>. Help.

Thanks. When I try to open a link, IE 9.0 "tries" to open a new tab and then closes it and goes back to the original tab. So basically it tries, and then nothing happens at all (i.e. it does not open in Acrobat or Reader either). Do I need to unclick "Display in Browser"? What about those times when the Acrobat tool bar does not load in IE 9.0, will it still have that functionality? Should I reload the 32-bit version of IE 9.0?

Customize buttons added to toolbar keep disappearing

Steps to reproduce:
1. Menu -> Customize
2. Drag some of the extra icons to the top right toolbar (next to the menu icon)
Now, some icons constantly keep disappearing. As a consequence, I need to re-add them quite regularly.
Why are some icons simply not staying at the location in the toolbar where I put them?
Thanks for your help!

You can try to click the "Restore Defaults" button in the Customize palette.
You can try to reset user the "browser.uiCustomization.state" on the <b>about:config</b> page via the right-click context menu to the default value in case there is a problem with the pref.
This pref stores the toolbar customization is current releases.
If you keep having problems with preferences, see:

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

Why does the Yahoo toolbar which contains my frequently accessed websites keep disappearing from the Firefox browser?

I recently discovered that I could customize a toolbar to hold all my favorite websites and I could thereby reach these sites with one click. A marvelous feature when it's there, but all the icons keep disappearing. I can get them back by downloading the Yahoo toolbar AGAIN and restarting my computer AGAIN, but that's more trouble than typing the URLs to begin with. There's got to be a better way.

I agree, this is very frustrating! Sometimes it loads with no problems, sometimes it doesn't. I have AT&T/Yahoo and really miss the toolbar icons to get to my favorite sites! I hope this can be corrected soon!

My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position. In vertical, it works fine. I have powered off and on, checked that Safari Instant is on, and cleared Safari cache. Any help will be appreciated.

My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position. Vertically, it works fine. I have powered off and then back on. I have checked that Safari instant is on, and I have cleared Safari cache. Nothing has worked so far.

Okay -- it fixed itself. Without any intervention, after all else had failed, and I was willing to live evermore with vertical searches. If only everything else in my house mysteriously recovered from the broken state.
Have no idea what was/is going on with the disappearing keypad.

Reading list icon keeps disappearing

I am using OSX 10.6.8, I use the reading list icon a lot.. the pair of glasses on the left of the toolbar, but it keeps disappearing every day. I have gone into Customize toolbar but it disappears from there also.
Any advise on how or why it keeps vanishing would be more than welcome as frustrating the **** out of me..

Might be corrupted Safari preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
Switch to OFF if there are any installed, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, uninstall one extension at a time until you find the that is causing incompatibility issues with the Reading List.

I have OSX 10.5.8 and I keep installing FireFox, but it keep disappearing. When I try to download the newest version, my software isn't compatible because I DON"T have the intel "chip. What can I do to reinstall an older version of Firefox?

Firefox not only disappears from my dock but also from my Applications folder. I tried to downl0ad it again today (5/19/2011), however, it says my system isn't compatible because I don't have an Intel processor. Any suggestions. I have problems with Safari and like to use Firefox but can't if it keeps disappearing and then Mozilla tells me that I can't install after I have already downloaded the application.

For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 (PowerPC) you can look at:

Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:

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.

Time won't show in Menu; keeps disappearing

The upper right hand area of my MacBook Pro keeps disappearing and reappearing with the little wireless icons, bluetooth, etc. every few seconds. However, the time doesn't even appear when those items reappear. Also, most of my programs including Safari and System Preferences will no longer open, and when I shut the lid of the laptop and reopen it, it restarts and doesn't go back to the screen that was on it to begin with. All of this happened after Time Machine notified me that I had not backed up in 15 days and I chose to ignore it and restart my computer. Is there any way that I can restore my computer to the way it was a week ago or another way to fix this problem?

You can restore your computer to the way it was 1 week ago by doing the following: (note that this will set your computer EXACTLY as it was 1 week ago. any new files you made will be wiped. I would suggest manually copying any important, non-backed up files to the external drive manually, then manually restoring them):
1. Print this page (there is no internet during this procedure).
2. Insert your Leopard install dvd.
3. Shut down.
4. Start up, while holding "C" (to start from the DVD)
5. Click Utilities>Restore From Time Machine Backup.
6. Select the backup you want and click "Restore"
7. Wait for it to finish (it will be a few hours-it needs to copy LOTS of data back).
8. Restart, without holding any keys.
Your mac should now be back to how it was at the backup you selected.
Good luck!

Cannot locate Safari toolbar - specifically trying to find VIEW using windows

Cannot locate Safari toolbar - it disappeared. My seach has said to find the View but it is not on my toolbar. I am using windows 7.

With that one, let's try the following user tip:
Safari for Windows: getting your bars back

The address and search bar has disappeared from Safari. How do I get it back?

I own an iMac (Mac OS X, version 10.6
KProcessor 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM
upgraded to Leopard two years or more ago
My husband and I use the same computer. The address and search bar has disappeared from Safari on my desktop but not his. How do I get it back? All I have is the Apple page when I open Safari.

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

Google tool bar keeps disappearing

The google toolbar keeps disappearing. It isn't in the list of toolbars and it will not appear if I download it again. The only way to get it back is to uninstall firefox and download it again. The google toolbar then reappears as if nothing was ever wrong.
Whu is this happening and what is the solution.

Hello Kathie.

Tab page and customization keeps disappearing

For the last two days, my tabs page and customization keep disappearing. When I open a new tab, it is completely blank, with no preloaded sites. When I try to add items such as bookmarks, home, search, adblock, etc to the address bar, they appear as if they have been added but do not appear on the page, nor do they appear after I shut down and restart Firefox. I have refreshed multiple times in the last few days. At that point, I can see the tabs page, see the settings gear, and can populate tabs, pin them etc. I can also get the customization to work. Most recently, the tab page was there, and I could see sites loaded, but the images were missing and never appeared. Sometimes when I shut down the computer, the settings are all saved, but other times they all disappear and the process starts all over again. This includes when I close Firefox with the Exit command under File rather than using the red X option.

Other users have reported problems with FoxTab recently: the reviews for it over the last 9 months are pretty blistering: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxtab/reviews/]. I don't know enough about that extension to help with that.
But regarding the built-in main toolbar, those are changes that Firefox itself should save. Our support article "[[How to fix preferences that won't save]]" covers many of the reasons that there might be glitches with that. Another common issue is utility/privacy/security software like Advanced SystemCare that has a home page protection/browser protection feature. This can roll back your changes between sessions of Firefox. You may need to disable that feature if any of your software has it.

Why does Firefox 12.0 keep deleting my custom toolbar!?! Friggin irritating! Everytime I create it, after a few starts Firefox deletes it!

Firefox 12.0 keeps deleting my custom toolbars. I create one, it works a few times, but after several starts of Firefox, it just disappears. Then I have to remake it! Damn irritating!

It may not be Firefox that is deleting that toolbar, but your security software may be doing that.
Some security software has virtualization features that can cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

Safari toolbar vanished

iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 running Mac OS X 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4
On Friday 5/16/13 while searching for a method to get rid of advertisements for Google Chrome and Google Plus and the Google black toolbar, Safari was hijacked by YP.com, the AT&T Yellow Pages"service". When I succeeded finally in getting rid of this uninvited inerlopeer, my Safari toolbar disappeared, too. Now I have no Back Button and no Search Field. On the Menu Bar, "Show Toolbar" does not work, and "Customize Toolbar" is greyed-out. I have to invoke File/New Window to perform, a search or query.
I reinstalled with the Safari6.0.4Lion.pkg, ran the huge OSXUpdCombo10.8.3 file, and rerpaired permissions -- all to no avail.
FireFox runs fine.
How can I restore Safari's functionality?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
