Navigating tabs in Safari

I would like to say goodbye to Firefox now and start using only Safari. However there's one function that does not seem to work in Safari which I've been using a lot in Firefox. Navigating the tabs with keybord shortcuts Cmd+1/2/3/4/5 and so on to choose the tab of your liking. I know I can cycle through the tabs, but I would like to choose the exact one with Cmd+4 for example, then back to the first tab with Cmd+1. Is this possible with Safari?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
It is not included in Safari by default, but there's an extension called ctrlSwitcher.

It works perfectly ! Hope this will help.

Problem Navigating Tabs in Safari

When I use the Shift+Command+Arrow (L or R) shortcut I can navigate thru my tabs with ease. Sweet. But if one of those Web pages has a search box the cursor automatically appears in the box on that page and I can no longer navigate to the next tab.
Open 2 tabs to Google to see what I mean.
Thanks for your help.

Hi...
First go to your Safari menu bar top of your screen, click Safari > Empty Cache
If that didn't help, back to the menu bar again, click Safari > Reset Safari
Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, Safari preferences may be corrupted.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
If tabs function as they should, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.

Is it possible to view your current history for a single tab in safari lion

Is it possible to view your current history for a single tab in safari lion?

Not once the tab has been closed. If it hasn't, clicking and holding the Back button will display the titles of recently visited sites in that tab.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Privacy tab in safari 5.1 preferences is empty.

This is a screen shot of what I see when I open the privacy tab in safari preferences. Any reasons for this? Help!!!

Just spent an hour at an Apple Store with 2 Genius' and was not able to resolve the issue. This issue exists on both my Macs. One is running Lion and the other Snow Leopard. We checked other systems in store and none of them had problems. I suspect that this problem came as a result of an OSX / Safari update at some point because I haven't always had this problem. Safari Preference Pane isn't something that I (and I suspect many) people get into very frequently, so there's probably others with this problem (they just don't know it yet).
I did find that if you're using Lion which will re-open where you left off once you quit, that the following "work around" seems to work consistently. Open the preference pane that's blank (i.e. Privacy or Extensions). Next, quit Safari without closing the Preference Pane. Relaunch Safari and the Preference Pane appears displaying correct content. The strange thing, at least on my Lion system, is that the Blank Preference Pane flips between Privacy and Extensions. But, I'm able to correct the Preference Pane I need by going through this procedure. Again, this does not work for Snow Leopard because it won't re-open where you left off.
I've tried reinstalling Safari and nothing changes. My (and the Genius Bar's) opinion is that a "Fresh Install" is all that will probably fix this. Not an option for me at this point, so I'll just get along for now.
Wishing all with this issue the Best and I hope someone eventually comes up with something other than a "Fresh Install Option".

When opening a new tab in Safari, the spinning wheels appears

Please help, I have very basic skills on a computer, so please make this simple and easy!!
When I open a new tab in Safari, it freezes and the spinning wheel appears. It stays on there for a long period of time and does not disappear. In order to get on I need to Force closure in Safari and restart the computer. Sometimes this will solve the problems and sometimes it needs to be restarted a few times.
This is really annoying and stops me using my mac.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

When opening a new tab in Safari...

Is there a way to keep Safari from opening up my recent searches window every time I make a new tab in Safari?
I find it annoying that it always pops down And gets in the way of the bookmarks bar etc.

Clearing Safari's history : Settings > Safari > Clear History
Then close Safari completely and when you re-open it your search history should have gone (though focus will still default to the search box). To close Safari : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

How to put the focus on the address bar, when opening a new tab in Safari?

Dear users, I'm using Safari 6.0.3 (8536.28.10) under OSX 10.8.3. Until recently, whenever I opened a new tab in Safari, the focus was always on the address bar, which was quite useful. However, since last week, maybe after an update (I don't know exactly), the focus of a new tab is always on the page, not the address bar. How can I go back to the previous configuration? I changed no options, it simply got sudeenly different, and it's quite annoying. Thank you for the help.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

How to get AppleScript to close a specific tab in Safari?

I want to use AppleScript to close a tab in Safari.
My scipt opens when my computer turns on, opens Safari, opens a new tab, goes to my schools website and automatically logs me into their internet.
After that, I want it to close the tab that it just did all that in. How can I do this? I don't want to close all tabs, just the current tab. This is what I have so far...
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
          tell application "Safari"
                    open location "URL goes here"
delay 5
                    tell application "System Events"
keystroke return
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
What code do I need to add to close this tab?
Thanks!

Nevermind. I figured it all out. Now, this will open Safari, log me into the schools internet, close the corresponding tabs, and minimize Safari.
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
          tell application "Safari"
delay 5
                    open location "URL goes here"
delay 2
                    tell application "System Events"
keystroke return
                    end tell
                    delay 0.25
                    set winlist to count of every window
                    repeat with i from 1 to winlist
                              close (every tab of window i whose name = "webassign")
                              close (every tab of window i whose name = "user identification portal")
                    end repeat
                    set miniaturized of window 1 to true
          end tell
end tell

I accidentally deleted the iCloud Tabs in Safari on my iPhone...How do I get it back??

So I accidentally deleted the iCloud Tabs in Safari on my iPhone. Is there a way to get it back so I can view what tabs are open on my Macbook?

Quit Safai (double tap the home button, hold the app icon until it wiggles, tap , double tap the home button gain)
Settings > iCloud > Turn off Safari > Delete from phone then turn Safari back on

Every time I press the delete tab in Safari it either returns to my previous web page or crashes? Drivinh me nuts!

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash logs related to Safari, WebProcess, or PluginProcess. Select the most recent one of each and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.)
