Quick help with a new Safari user?

Hey guys,
Since Mountain Lion, Firefox was destroying my CPU and was sending the fans nuts! So Ive made the switch to Safari.
2 really quick questions. I have imported my bookmarks but I HATE the way bookmarks work in Safari, or at least the only way in which I have found so far. So instead of having to open up the horrible bookmarks window with the page previews ala iTunes cover art, can I somehow get a Firefox like drop down bookmark list in the current window I have?
Also I do not like having to tell Safari that i want to browse privately every time I use Safari. Can I set safari to never save my history?
Thanks

Ok I made myself a new folder called bookmarks that gives me drop down bookmarks like I wanted but can I get rid of the button that opens the bookmark window?
Still not solved history issue.

New Safari User-former PC user-Slow Page Fills

safari page fills seem slow even with cable modem hard connected. Any way to "tweak" performance or check for problems? My apologies but as a former PC user, there was usually tweaking to do....

1. Yes it is helpful, but I would limit the choice to the latest version supported by Apple, because it's being tested with their apps. You can download them running "Software Update" from the Apple menu. If it doesn't propose any Java update, you are already running the latest one
2. I am not aware of any. Other people may. I know of some applications that supposedly make downloads faster, but they often cause problems with Safari.
Did you try my previous suggestion to run Firefox or Opera or Camino, just to have a comparison?

Various Settings as new Safari user

How does one set or change home page & alter weather location? Obvious changes do not stay.

With Safari open, go to the menu bar at the top of your screen and click Safari, then from the drop down menu click Preferencees.
Select the General tab to set your home page.
Weather location?
All of your Safari preferences you can set in from the Preferences pane using the tabs.
For more help, with Safari open click Help from the menu bar (top of your screen) then click Safari Help.
Type in the topic you need help with in the search field on the right.

I am a new mac user and have a 15 macbook pro (non retina display). I am having an issue with safari "freezing" ...it will work fine for a while and then I will open a new tab and attempt a website that won't load and after that it seems no website will.

So yes like mentioned above...i am a new mac user...have only had it about four days and have had a windows based system always before this. The issue I am having is that I will be in safari and it will work perfect for a while and then i will open a new tab and attempt another website and it will either be extremely slow or will give the error that it cannot connect to the server, however, when i run diagnostics my internet is fine. The only solution i have found is to reboot and geeksquad has been unable to replicate the problem while connected to my computer to try to do so. Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone else with this problem? If you have a "fix" please try layman's terms because again I have no idea about macs haha. Thanks,

May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.

My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
For a test, change your router so there is no security. See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod.

How to make Safari browser always open a new web page in a new Safari browser window which was clicked from a PDF document URL

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF view
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new Safari browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Brand new Mac user with a brand new Mac problem!

Hi Everyone --
I am a brand new Mac user... I've only had my MacBook Pro 13" for three days. My Mac has been continuously freezing while I use it. When it freezes I only have safari running so I know its not from application "overload". Once frozen, I cannot move the mouse, "esc" or use any commands. Essentially my only option is to force it to shut down by holding the power buttong down. Please let me know if anyone has any idea how to fix this! With school coming up I cannot afford for my computer to be freezing every 20 minutes!
Thanks in advance.

Well... I'd still take it back - let them know that you received it as a gift three days ago. They may still replace it for you or they may take it in for repair. Just be nice and explain that you don't expect a new MBP to function as it is (or malfunction) and let them, at least, run diagnostics on it. As it's so new, there may be something simple that they can fix as you wait. Did your boyfriend already register the machine with Apple or did you? They may take the registration date into account...
But I'd take it to the Apple Store, regardless...

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.

Open links in new Safari Tab

Relevant specs are below.
I used to be able to cmd-click a link in an email and have it open in a new tab in an existing Safari window which was in the background. That no longer happens. Now the link opens in a new Safari window behind Mail.app.
My Safari preferences have Tabs enabled, Select new tabs as they are created unchecked, and Always show the tab bar checked. I pulled my com.apple.safari.plist and it's still doing the same thing. It also happens in an ew user account.
Anyone know how to get it back the way it was?
Mac OS X (10.4.8) Safari (2.0.4) Mail.app (2.1)

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Take a look in Safari -> Preferences -> General. The last option gives you the choice of how Safari handles clicks on links in other applications. If you select the button "In a new tab in the current window", you can just click on the link in Mail to open the link in a tab in the current Safari window. You don't need to cmd-click when this option is selected.
Post back if this solves your problem (or if it doesn't).

New Safari 2.0.3 displays some Router Firmware pages as HTML Source text

Hello Safari users and gurus.
I installed the new 10.4.4 Combo Updater yesterday, preceded and followed by permissions repairs and other maintenance, including cleaning Safari Caches. Safari 2.0.3 works.
My problem: 10.4.4's new Safari 2.0.3 displays HTML source text after I click "Save" from within my Linksys (latest firmware) router's web based administration pages that worked correctly with the previous version of Safari.
When I check or change my router settings, the initial router settings pages appear as they did with the previous version of Safari. However, with 10.4.4's new Safari 2.0.3, as soon as I click "Save" to attempt to save a changed router setting, the confirming info from the router is displayed as HTML source code instead of the expected HTML page display.
If I wait for the router lights to indicate activity has ceased and then reload the router's opening admin address, the page opens again normally, and I can navigate to other pages and see that the changes have been saved. However, any click on any "Save" changes button in the router's pages delivers another page of HTML source text.
I will watch for future router firmware updates to see whether the issue is resolved from the Linksys side.
Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement now? All assistance will be appreciated.
EZ Jim

Thanks glefand. As you suggested, I tried my old iBook G3 that is still running 10.3.9, and it works fine for me.
My G5 DP also worked normally up through OS X 10.4.3. My problem only began after I installed the 10.4.4 update. I think the Safari update included with the 10.4.4 update is what is causing the issue with the firmware pages on my Linksys router.
Hopefully a future router firmware update (or Safari update?) will restore proper operation. If not, I will continue to reload from the router's Start page. The need to work around this glitch is annoying, but the actual function of my router setup works without problem, even though the pages do not display properly.
Thanks again for your helpful suggestion,
Jim

10.4.11 Update and... no new Safari ?!

I've just applied the 10.4.11 update on top of 10.4.10, but there is no new Safari... What's with that?
I've moved the older versions of Safari into a subfolder. [ I've got a lot of apps and Apple's installers are almost unique in not letting people install the apps where they want them too... Yes, I know the story about not moving [some of] Apple's apps, so no need to tell me that. All previous updates just dump a new version into /Applications, but this one gives me nada. Not A **** Anything ]
The 10.4.11 updates in a single package, so without breaking into that I'm not going to find Safari 3.0.4 there. Its no longer on the Safari update page either. So how I am to get it? And why is it missing in the first place?
While I wait for any ideas, I'm going to stick an old version of Safari into /Applications and reapply the update to see if seeing something-that-looks-like-Safari is enough to prompt the blasted thing into updating it. I can't think of anything else. Either way its weird.

I've been doing this for years myself Rick, since at least System 9 days and probably System 8, but I forget now. I think you're misjudging my experience level
I once did just leave the applications alone and only the aliases, but I've enough now to justify organising the applications as well. I know Unix bin and lib folders often have hundreds of entries, but then they can be a pain to work with for precisely that reason... I have more applications than most through needing to maintain multiple versions for testing purposes (e.g. web browsers). It'd be more tolerable if I was only dipping into /Applications a couple of times a year, but thats not the case. (Having multiple versions can have their own issues, but lets not get into that.)
There is no fundamental reason why applications should have to live in just one directory and it causes some users to have to try "figure out" which camp each application belongs to, something they shouldn't really have to do IMO. There are deeper application and system design reasons why this "fixed location" approach bugs me, but a discussion of that belongs in a developer forum, not here!
