Mara...
Go to your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click View then from the drop down menu click Customize Toolbar.
Mac OS X (10.6.6) < your profile
If that is correct, you need to udpate your system software to v10.6.8
Click your Apple menu > Software Update...

Search bar disappeared from Contacts

I thought this new feature was going to be really useful but now the search bar does not appear when I open contacts?
Is anyone else having this problem?

I had this too. But then I realized that the search bar is the TOP of the screen. Scroll way up to the top and you'll find it. Kinda weird that it isn't persistent.

Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this

Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.

The address bar and all the command & tool bars disappear from my web page as soon as I log on. The leaves me with no way to enter a web address or navagate.

When I attempt to use Firefox, the address bar and all the command & tool bars disappear from view as soon as I start the program. I can see the scrolling our of view at the top of my screen. This leaves me with no way to enter a web address, navigate or even exit the program.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

All of my safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I did not delete or move them

My safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I have not deleted or moved them. Any ideas on how I can recover them?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Safari
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

Fix safari search bar? Help!

I downloaded something online today and rather quickly deleted it. I have looked everywhere in my finder and trash and it all seems to be deleted. But it has done something to my safari search bar which I would like some help fixing! Whenever I search something it says it is loading 'search.installmac.com' and then it loads my search with bing. I have checked my safari preferences and it says my default search engine is google. I have even gone into terminal, deleted safari and then re-installined it but it is still doing this! I really want my search bar to just load once with google rather than the blue line loading three times then it using bing! someone please help!

You have definitely installed a variant of the Genieo adware. If you only read the first page of the topic Wayne linked to, you didn't get any decent removal instructions. Note that the Genieo uninstaller will not adequately remove any variant of Genieo... it leaves behind actively-running components in all cases. To remove it properly, see the Genieo removal section of my Adware Removal Guide.
You probably got this by installing something downloaded from Softonic. See:

Safari search bar stuck on yahoo?

My safari search bar seems to be stuck on Yahoo. I changed the default in Safari preferences to have the search bar be Google, but it hasn't changed. Any suggestions?

You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
If you find Apple's instructions too hard to follow, ask for an alternative that doesn't require you to trust a black-box application without knowing what it does.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

The address bar disappeared from all webpages and I don't know how to get it back. Can someone help me?

The address bar disappeared from all web pages and I can't type in a webpage. I don't know how to get it back. Can someone PLEASE help me get it back? Thanks!!!

Hi Jordyn. I'm assuming you're using Safari. Open it. On the top bar click on View > Customize Toolbar. You should see the address bar there and simply drag it where you want to place it in Safari. Hope this helps.

All my files just disappeared from my pages and numbers apps on my mini iPad. Under Usage, both still show 350 MBs used for each. Ideas?

Hello r253,
The following troubleshooting steps can help get your documents to reappear on your devices.
Documents I've updated on my Mac or uploaded from iCloud.com don't appear on my iOS device
If you're using an iWork for iOS app (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote), check the iCloud system requirements and make sure that you're using the latest version of iWork. For third party apps, check the documentation that came with the app, or check with the app developer to make sure the app supports iCloud. App Store application descriptions often indicate whether the app supports iCloud.
Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences on your Mac. Click iCloud and confirm that you're signed in to iCloud and the Documents & Data checkbox is selected.
After opening your iOS app, wait a few minutes for the documents to appear. Your iOS device may not have connected to iCloud since changes were made to the document at iCloud.com or on your other devices.
Try creating a new document on your iOS device, then check again for the documents from iCloud to appear.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data and confirm that Use Cellular Data is turned on.
Confirm that you're connected to the Internet by checking for an Edge, 3G, 4G, LTE, or Wi-Fi icon in your device's status bar. Test your connection by opening apple.com in Safari.
Try resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.

Typed-in seach text into FF center search bar disappears on enter

Center search bar in the middle of screen, below the FF logo.
I type in a search query, hit search button or enter, the search query disappears from the bar and the search is not carried out. The address bar upper left works, the upper right search bar works. FF is the latest version, reinstalled again. Turned off all extensions, no effect, turned off "awesome" autocomplete.

Hello,
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How to hide top hits, bookmarks & history drop down menu when typing in safari search bar?

how do I hide top hits, bookmarks & history drop down menu when typing in safari search bar?

Not completely.
In Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Check both Do not preload top hits in the background & Prevent earch engine from providing suggestions.
This will eliminate top hits and search engine suggestions.
I am not sure about the rest.
As far as History, I guess you could clear it and use Private Browsing.
Bookmarks, I don't think there is anything you can do about that besides removing them.

Language preference in Safari search bar

Hi all
I can change my language preferences on the Google search page, but this does not carry over to the Safari search bar. Typing a search item into the Safari search bar produces results relevant to my current location. For example, I am in Germany at the moment, so get results in German. If I use VPN, I get results relevant to where that server is located. Is there any way to change the results language preference for the Safari search bar?
Thanks

Where am I going wrong?

Safari and camera disappeared from my screen

Safari and camera has disappeared from my screen. It's the 2:nd time it happens. Got my iphone, brand new, last week. First time it happened, I reset everything. Now it feels like this could be a reoccurring thing, and not fun to reset every time. I've looked in folders and I've tried spotlight. Nothing.
Appreciate any help.

Safari Search Bar now GREEK

Ever since I upgraded to 10.7.4 I've had some major annoyances rear their heads with my 2011 iMac.
The issue I'm looking for help with, though it may seem small, is with the Safari search bar.
I know there have been discussions before about this and I've always had a difficult relationship with the search bar as it is supposed to change to your 'local' search engine, e.g. for me that would be Google UK, yet it has often defaulted to Google US which means that searches can be a little less relevant at times.
Anyway, for months things have been fine. The search bar defaulted to Google UK until the 10.7.4 update hit... All of a sudden my Google search bar now defaults to Google.com in GREEK...
Since I don't speak a word of Greek, I'm sure you can see how this has become an issue. I've tried all manner of things, resetting safari, changing language settings but have been unable to get it to change back. I tried changing to Bing search but to be honest, Google search in Greek is a **** of a lot more useful than Bing in English is, which I think says a lot.
I did have greek as a secondary keyboard layout so that I could use the greek characters for my physics work but UK English has always been my default and I have since removed Greek yet the search bar stays the same.
It's really becoming irritating now as every time I search it sets my whole Google experience to Greek with a cookie so any google.com service I use ends up in Greek and it's a pain to reset it.
Does anyone out there know how the search bar bases it's localisation on and is there any way I can reset it?
