New Safari 6.1 Bookmarks is no longer navigate-able

I recently installed the new Safari update. 6.1
With the new update, the Bookmarks tool is no longer User-Friendly.
In previous versions, I was able to highlight multiple links and move them around.
Now, I can only click and drag one link at a time. Otherwise it opens the link I single-click on. I can no longer highlight multiple links.
Any suggestions?

Command-click on individual bookmarks, keeping the key down as you select additional bookmarks, and extend selection with the Shift key.

Does the new FireFox30 mean that I will no longer be able to see text clearly without my NoSquint PlugIn?

Dear FireFox,
I have increasing sight problems and need to be able to set or at least increase the miniscule size of website fonts, however due to peoples' terrible formatting of their websites and use of frames I occasionally need to reduce the font size just to make a search box available (instance noted on ShareCG's website, among others).
I have enough problems navigating websites without continually having to authorise a plug in for every single page I visit.
Please, please tell me this isn't going to get worse for me due to your arbitrary decision (i.e. this is the first I've heard of it) to phase out the very plugin I need so much, as well as other helpful plugins.
PLEASE!!!!
I am using a PC with:
Windows Version:
MicroSoft Windows 7 Professional Edition (64 bit)
Version 2009
Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
RAM: 2.40GHz 8.00 GB of RAM
Graphics Card: (/Video Card.)NVIDIA Ge Force GT 8600 graphics card.

You should have an option for a plugin ''Always Activate''
* Use NewButton [[Image:New Fx Menu]] -> Add-ons -> |Plugins| and select the relevant Plugin [Always Activate v]
* It is also possible to sets pecific sites as trusted and to always activate a plugin [[Why do I have to click to activate plugins?#w_how-to-always-activate-a-plugin-for-a-trusted-website]]#w_how-to-always-activate-a-plugin-for-a-trusted-website
Which particular plugin are you having a problem with ?

Where do I send a long list of problems I have with non-functionality with the Lion OSX and new Safari for Lion.

In the past two weeks I have been documenting my Lion problems.
First, Arrows gone from finder windows; makes it difficult in comparing long lists of files in folder, or compare documents when reviewing line by line. This is obviously a change by people who do not compare long lists in windows comparing files between versions of projects ... the click to next screen is NOT equal to arrows.
Second, Finder Redreaw - doesn't. Move files to a fold, if there are a lot of files, they image of the files being moved remains in finder (see attached screen capture) until Finder is restarted and if COPY function is running. last files in Copy queue are not copied.
Screen capture 5 minutes after moving files to a folder - the selected file images are still in Finder after the move was completed.
Third, it is SLOW, particularly going to an "Attach file" in email, drawing the content of a folder to select an attachment is long enough for me to go to the kitchen, get a drink and come back. Just like the old days of OS7.
Fourth, shifting/recentering screen away from where I am working. Several programs, browsers, Adobe Photoshop/inDesign, and dear old Pages re center my screen - not to the center, but if I choose 30 of 70 images in a folder, it will shift … somewhere else in the folder instead of where I just clicked. If I am working on a document in inDesign or PhotoShop it will do the same - the cursor and screen drift elsewhere to find something it has been amused by. Sometimes it is a word, or a file, but often it is off the pastboard and on the etherial pasteboard on which the pages sit. Or if I'm zoomed in on an image, it moves to somewhere else.
I use a mouse and keyboard, both Apple wireless. I do not use a trackpad, but have a tablet/stylus I am afraid to put into the mix until this crap is stopped.
Fifth, SAVE AS… is gone. You must unlock, duplicate and edit the duplicate … and must rename it in Finder, or use EXPORT to save as the same format under a new name. SAVE AS… worked. Not broke, why fix it?
Personal Comment: The problems seem to be the triumph of coked up software engineers ooohing and aaahing over "Wouldn't it be cool if..." Cool, if they were Microsoft, and required everyone change how they have worked on Macs for the past (almost) three decades. Triumph of brainstorming over functionality.
Sixth, I can't use Cocoa Booklet, but that really started in OSX 10.6 "Snow Leopard". Most of my X11/Cocoa programs stopped worked about that time. Apple is no longer supporting "open source"?
But Wait! There's More...
Seventh, Tonight, trying to download a 1.7 gig archive onto a disk where 280 Gigs were supposedly free, it would not download because, according to the wonderful new Safari and the wonderful new Lion, there is not enough disk space to download a 1.7 gig file in a mere 280 Gigs of free space.
I might be able to move Snow Leopard onto the iMac, but my deciding factor was that Apple, in its wisdom, decided to make iBook Author unable to run under Snow Leopard. So moving to Snow Leopard means I have lost the ONLY benefit I get from the new computer and the new system.
This really stinks.

On my new computer my Bookmarks list no longer highlights the page I am viewing online, soI can no longer see exactly which site I am viewing.

On my new computer the Bookmarks list no longer 'highlights' the website that I have clicked on and am viewing online. Therefore, I can no longer see exactly which site (location/name) I am viewing because I have quite a number of bookmarks. It wastes time to go to several bookmarked sites in search of the site I am currently visiting.
Bottom line: I want the Bookmarks list to highlight the site I am currently visiting as it did on my previous computers (all Dell). Is there a setting to make this happen?
Please help! Thank you.
Joancmb

It actually does highlight but in colour which is barely distinguishable so it appears that no highlighting is on.

Safari 5.1.1 I no longer have access to my bookmark folders, just a search that does not work well. How can I retrieve access to bookmark folders?

OS 10.6.8 Safari 5.1.1 I no longer have access to the bookmark folders. There is just a search function that does not work well. Is there any way to get access back to my bookmark folders?

This site didn't say anything about one wrong ID, but only talks about changing the Apple ID. If it didn't work the first time why should it work now?

I have received the alert that my version of Safari no longer supports Youtube viewing. I am running version 5.1.10 on OS 10.6.8. Is there an update or a newer Safari version that is compatible with my OS?

I have received the alert that my version of Safari no longer supports Youtube viewing. I am running version 5.1.10 on OS 10.6.8. Is there an update or a newer Safari version that is compatible with my OS?

No, not without upgrading to a higher version of the Mac OS. However, the easiest thing to do is get another browser for use with sites that don't like older versions of Saari. I always have a secondary browser on any computer, Mac or PC. For our Macs, I install FireFiox alongside Safari when setting up a new computer.
As FireFox is updated sometimes weekly, YouTube should not have a problem with it.

I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.

I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.
Then I tried to download Safari from Firefox but after finish download, what I got was a dmg file, with a pkg icon (an opened box) and it can't be installed. Same with Google Chrome.
My question is: how can I download Safari? And will it retain bookmarks?

Reinstall Safari from the Optional Installs.pkg on your Mac install disc that came with your iMac. Or in your case, you use Pacifist to extract the Safari app from the .dmg file.
To bookmark a webpage:
Go to the webpage you want to bookmark. If you use tabs, you can open multiple webpages in tabs to bookmark them as a collection.
Choose Bookmarks > Add Bookmark, or Bookmarks > “Add Bookmarks for These Tabs.”
Type a name for the bookmark or collection in the dialog that appears.
Specify where you want to keep the bookmark or collection. You can add it to the bookmarks bar, the Bookmarks menu, or to a collection if you have created any.
Click Add.
To add a bookmark quickly, click the Add button in the toolbar, or drag the webpage’s icon from the address field to the bookmarks bar.
To see your bookmarks, choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.
In the future, rather then deleting an app, come here and ask for help first. More times then not, you will save yourself time and trouble.

Have I lost my history and bookmarks after ticking 'don't keep' on new safari browser favourites bar?

so i recently downloaded yosemite and when I saw the favourites page on the new safari favourites page, i can't remember exactly what it said but it was something like ' here are some of your bookmarks and history, would you like to keep it/don't keep it and I clicked don't keep. Does that delete them completely form safari? or just from that bar?

also just to clarify things I was able to merge a 20megabyte sqlite file with a 75megabyte sqlite file somehow magically using firefox sync's 25megabytes of storage and the result was somehow only 82megabytes? which I don't quite get, and It only used 23megabytes of my sync storage?
none of the entries are missing though, and the history merge is entirely live and functional, it's great! hooray! (maybe date visited type data was lost but I never cared about)
really the only thing I need from my history is to work like bookmarks that aren't as important as bookmarks in the formula which suggets url's to me when i type in 2or3 letters, anyways... all the answers out there telling people to copy history into a bookmark folder and export... don't do it! it's bad advice there is no way to convert bookmarks back into history entries... and importing 60,000bookmarks from an html file crashes firefox anyways!! (almost always)
anyways firefox sync rocks hooraaaay I can't believe that actually worked!

How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for. Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
*UPDATE (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
Have a blessed day.

Any way to get favicons in Safari 6.0 bookmarks bar yet?

Lack of favicons in bookmarks bar is the #1 reason (of many) why I don't like using Safari....but as long as Chrome continues to have crash issues with rMBP (and now Flash stopped working in the 22.0.1229.2 dev version), I'm stuck with it for some things. Is there an extension out there that'll enable this and I just haven't been able to find it?

@hpr : I was running the dev version because it provided a LOT more stability with Chrome/Flash (while I waited to receive my "free upgrade to mountain lion" email from apple), and it also addressed the Retina font-rendering issues. Latest official Chrome release was super crashtastic for me -- multiple kernel panics daily. Apparently this is/was An Issue for the new rMBP + Chrome + Flash. Honestly, though, this thing reboots so freaking fast it wasn't even *that* much of an issue.
Finally jumping to Mountain Lion right now...hopefully that'll stabilize things. If not, back to the dev version I go. Chrome has spoiled me - I just can't deal with Safari anymore.
@Justan : Yeaaaaah, I figured that out after I installed it. Ah, well.

Stop "Open in Dashboard" widget from opening new Safari window when viewed

Hi,
For the first time, tried Safari's "open in dashboard" to make a widget showing an area of a webpage that updates information frequently.
It worked, but now whenever the Dashboard is viewed, something in the code opens up a new Safari window, even starting up Safari first if need be. (Because of the url, I suspect some javascript is trying to set a third-party tracking cookie.) Safari preferences don't appear to matter.
Any way to prevent this? 2010 iMac/10.6.5/Safari 5.0.3.
Thanks.

New Safari on IOS8 on iPad air.

Hi. I just upgraded to IOS8 on my iPad air yesterday and wish I never bothered because the new Safari is ridiculously annoying to use. The address bar disappears when u scroll down and reappears when u scroll up. This is largely pointless to begin with but its a nice extra to let you use the whole screen, that's of course if it was practical and actually made browsing better.
You have to scroll far too far up to get the address bar and tabs back again. It's just so stupid why make people do that to change a tab. Why add that extra annoyance?
Also, when u zoom out on a page you are suddenly thrown into an odd windows where you can see all your open tabs. Why? Why would anyone want this? Not knowing anything about the feature I have closed tabs by simply not knowing what's happening.
This isn't related but I've been literally tortured with safari on ipad with tabs constantly refreshing which everyone has heard of and agree that it's very annoying. This just makes using safari a real chore.
If i was in charge of this and could sack people behind this I would sack them all. I love Apple software because it's so easy to use but no one seems to support that approach at apple any more.
Anyway im off to check safaris settings to see if I can disable these annoyances and get back to the easy to use safari. I cant check now because if I leave this page for a short while the oage will refresh and I'll have to type this all again lol. Dear goodness what is happening!
Rant over.

great solution skydiver--to say go find another browser. Hate to be mean about it, not your fault.
but apple screwed up on this one. acting more and more like MS and for example MS office which expands to do so much that only power users appreciate it.
I have had apples since 1982 and the 2e and this update pushed me over the edge.
I hate the keyboard and the new icon figure at the bottom, which if you have been typing for decades its easy to touch/swipe and change the keyboard.
do not like the pull down for books marks changing back to left side and function pull down swithching back to right side not that I am comfortable with the reverse change of 2 years ago.
and do not like the idea of the bookmark pulldown staying there and making screen smaller so an extra tap is required to close teh pull down. Whose idea was that?
as long as I am here, the new iphone--actually some people like a smartphone with the smaller screen that gives functionality in small package that could easily fit in a shirt pocket or slacks. ANot everybody is searching for a one unit solution to everything. any larger and we need bigger restaurant tables to hold 4-6 computers.
done with my rant too--it appears many others wil wake up today and upgrade and be surprised.

After upgrade on OS and Safari 7.1 I can no longer do 2 finger scrolling. Anyone else find this bug in upgrade?

After upgrade to 10.95 OS and Safari 7.1 I can no longer do 2 finger scrolling. Anyone else find this bug in upgrade? If so, ideas on how to fix it?

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 documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

With new Safari 1.3.2 update, I cannot post on message board...

I am a member on PBS.com. Since the Safari update, yesterday, I can no longer post to the message boards. There are others who are also having this problem. I can post on other message boards, but I can no longer post on this particular website.
Can anyone tell us what we need to fix or change?
you can e-mail me at
[email protected]
Thank you.

More than likely your real problem is that you're still running 10.3 and a very old version of Safari, which has numerous issues that have been addressed since that time. One of those issues is JavaScript, which is used by iWeb for photo galleries, which I believe is what you're publishing.
If that's the case, you need to upgrade to at least 10.4.11 so you can use the latest version of Safari, 3.1.2. You'd have to buy a retail box, since the installation disc for your newer iMac is machine-specific, so that won't work, and if it would, it would still be illegal. After you upgrade, you could then run Firefox 3 as well, but iWeb will need to be modified in order for the photo galleries to show up correctly on Firefox 3. This is not an Apple or Mozilla issue; it's a problem with a JavaScript library used in iWeb.
If you do that, here's a link to the original topic where the solution was mentioned for modifying iWeb: <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1563823>
