Option to view bookmarks bar as icons in Safari?

This question has been asked many times by the community if you ever used internet explorer you have the option to view bookmarks or favorites as icons only this keeps it neat and tidy plus it is less clunky as safari has it now and then. This needs to be fixed as it it quite annoying to put up with and here are the reaseons why it should have a setting for this for view as icons only.
1. When you click on the show all bookmarks bar bringing you to a bookmarks panel you obviously can see the icons on the bottom left of the page making it possible for the technicians to pull a couple of strings in the program when redesigning the bookmarks bar.
2. If you veiwed the bookmarks bar you can see that its clunky and unorganized and with a touch of OCD in my viens its quite annoying and just too much for me to handle I rather prefer a simple icon to serfice rather than something like this (Youtube Pandora Twitter Yahoo Facebook ....) its not the best but I enjoy using Safari so much because its fast and flexible on computer with only a few minor hiccups I refuse to unistall it and plan to use it for a while.
3. UPDATE AND FIX!!!

How do I get my bookmarks bar back on my safari browser window?

how do I get my bookmarks bar back on my safari browser window?

Greetings,
In Safari go to View > Show Toolbar.
Go to View > Customize Toolbar and drag whatever elements you want (like the default set at the bottom) to your tool bar.
Hope that helps.

I believe there's an option to the bookmark bar 'wrapping' around with the last bookmarks hidden from view.

Before Firefox crashed last nite, I had them in 'two layers', but I can't remember how I did that to put them back.
By that I mean the bookmarks wrapped around to a 2nd strip (instead of the last ones being hidden under the little >> sign at the right of the strip.)
I want them back where I can see all of them at once.... TKU.

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

5.1.3 Restoring bookmarks bar and menu ?

I'm running Safari 5.1.3 on imac on 10.7.3
I just synced my ipad to computer.
On my bookmarks bar on the ipad I had only 2 bookmarks. On the computer I had a whole bunch. Same with bookmarks menu.
After the sync, on my computer, it had deleted all the bookmarks on my bookmarks bar, and only left me the 2 that were on the ipad. Same with bookmarks menu.
Seems to have affected bookmarks bar and menu only. Rest of bookmarks are OK.
I have an external backup drive and backed up a week ago. But, have never had to restore anything.
What's the procedure to restore the bookmarks bar and menu in Safari, using time machine?
Thanks.

The only way is to restore from a useful backup, if you have one.
If you sync the iPad to iTunes and use Time Machine regularly, you would likely have the appropriate backup to restore from. In that case:
Restore the iPad backup set from Time Machine from a date before you overwrote the bookmarks. The location of the backup is ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ (you can get to it by pressing Cmd+Shift+G in the Finder and entering this path).
Connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from the backup.
If you use iCloud Backup, then you can restore from iCloud and choose which date's backup you'd like to restore from. You can check if you're using iCloud Backup by opening the Settings app on the iPad, then going to the iCloud submenu and looking at the status right below "Storage & Backup", where it would say "iCloud Backup is off." (or "iCloud Backup is on.", as the case may be).
In any case, keep in mind that restoring from a backup means you lose all application data changes after the date of the backup.
Also see Restoring from a previous iCloud backup.

Safari reverted to old bookmarks bar -- where is current bookmarks bar?

Genius bar did an archival install of mountain lion after I had 2 hard drive replacements. Current bookmarks bar was installed. Safari crashed and now have very old bookmarks bar showing. Where is my newest bookmarks bar?

What backups do you have?

I want to make the adress bar smaller so that my bookmark bar can show more than three icons when placed on the same row.

I want to have about five to ten bookmark icons in the same row as the search and address bar. So i use Customize... and I put the bookmark bar on the same line. I leave the "Name"-textbox in every bookmark blank so that only the icons appear.
However, only two icons appear and the rest are displayed in a drop down menu from an arrow you click.
I don't need the address bar to take 70% of the screen. I don't want the bookmark bar to use an extra row. I just want to have five to ten bookmark icons next to my address and search bar. Is this possible?

What do you mean with "Save passwords" checkbox?
Is that box provided by an extension?

Lost "Home" icon above Safari bookmarks bar

The "Home" icon in Safari on my wife's MiniMac (OS 10.4.5) has suddenly disappeared. The icon is a small house and is normally shown just above the Safari bookmarks bar, on the left, next to the forward and back URL buttons. Using Safari's Help page has not produced a solution.
Can anyone help me restore this feature?

Grant,
Use Safari>View>Customize Address Bar...>Drag your favorite item into the toolbar...(Home)

Bookmark icon in Bookmark Bar not working

Safari will not allow me view my bookmarks using the Book icon on the Bookmarks bar. The first time I click on the icon, it opens a Tab with "Bookmarks" on the tab but it just sits there a spins forever. If I click the icon 2 more times, I can see the list of my bookmark Collections, but whenever I click on ANY of the collections, NOTHING shows up on the right side. My Bookmarks' pulldown menu works fine but I have a ton of bookmarks within Collections that I can no longer access.
I've tried resetting Safari. I've repaired my permissions using Disk Utility.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
If not, would someone please give me a link to redownload Safari 3 for Mac OS 10.4.11 as only Windows users can download a copy off of Apple's website. Apple has removed the Mac version from their website as they say Apple's Software Update should download the latest version. Software Update is telling me that all my software is updated.
Thank you.
Christi

Follow the standard procedures for Mac OS X miracles:
Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > select your start up volume > First Aid > Repair Permissions
Restart the your Mac with the Mac OS X installation CD or DVD (through holding the key C on the keyboard). There select your preferred language and then not install Mac OS X but go to the File menu and select Disk Utility. There select your normal volume > First Aid > Repair disk. Restart your Mac.
System Preferences > Users and hit the small "+" at the bottom to create a new user. Select Log out from the Apple menu and log in this new user.
If it worked in the new user, the problem is somewhere in a file in your users Library > Preferences folder.
If it did not work, check your Apple Bluetooth Software version is at 1.6 and not 1.5.

I don't have a history option in bookmarks bar... So I cannot delete visited sites from address bar...how do I restore this ?, I don't have a history option in bookmarks bar... So I cannot delete visited sites from address bar...how do I restore this ?

The history option is the little clock icon at the bottom of the Bookmarks menu - the icon in the center between the open book and the eye glasses icons. You don't have that? Try closing Safari and see if the history option comes back
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also clear the history in Settings>Safari>Clear History.

In Firefox4, can I lose the folder icons from the Bookmarks Bar while keeping icons everywhere else (because the folder icons are superfluous and extend the horizontal list of bookmark folders beyond the width of the window)?

I've just installed Firefox4 for Mac (OS 10.6.7) and can no longer see all my bookmark folders at once across the top -- because the folder icons make the Bookmarks Bar too wide. Yet, I like the icons on the other bars, so I don't want to turn them off globally. Is there a way to just lose the folder icons -- which don't appear to serve a purpose anyway?

Small correction to original post. Machine is an iMac 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. (I was at home when I made the first post.) But the bookmarks menu behavior still exists today and FF 5 is essentially unusable.
System details next to the post are not for machine with the bug in question.
Found a copy of FF4 to use until a solution is found. Turned off automatic updates to preserve this version.

Can you remove the "View All RSS Articles" and Counter in Bookmarks Bar?

Hi There. I have a folder/drop down menus called "MyMix" in the Bookmarks Bar with several subfolders of pages I like to visit regularly. It's a silly thing but I get tired of the climbing counter of RSS articles in parentheses that sits next to it. Is there anyway to remove that functionality? I have a few other drop down menus that don't have the same problem, so not sure why this one does it. I've tried copying the folder and taking out each individual subfolder but it still keeps the RSS counter and "View All RSS Articles" link in there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Awesome, thank you. I should've checked preferences myself. Duh.
Still curious as to why it chose that folder instead of the other one's I have to display the RSS updates but I guess that will remain a mystery.
Thanks for your help!

In Firefox 4 with IE Tab 1.98.2011.322 Right clicking on a bookmark in the bookmark bar no longer brings up the option to open in an IE Tab.

In the previous version of Firefox when I right clicked on a bookmark in the bookmark bar the IE Tab options would appear. They no longer do since I have moved to Version 4. It would be great to get this ability back.. Thanks

My gosh, friend this is so awesome..I just tried it and it works.. how did you figure this out btw? So I have another problem.. in FFox when someone sends me an email with an photo in the email and I try to right click it is saved as a Firefox doc and not as a photo and I can't open it..any suggestions? I right click on the photo the picture library opens but on the photo line it's a Firefox document..???

Safari 6.0.5. Bookmark bar list view Problem

I am running safari 6.0.5. I have a problem with the Bookmark bar. It recently changed from a list view to a scrollable preview of websites. I would like to return to list view.

In the middle of the bottom edge of the black area in the bookmarks window, there's a "grab handle" represented by three short, faint horizontal lines. When you move the cursor there, it changes to a hand. Click and drag the grab handle upward.

I've lost the option to add to bookmarks bar. The items I had on bookmarks bar are there but I cannot add new ones. Suggestions please?

I have lost the option to add to bookmarks bar. I tried going to safari settings and selecting show bookmarks bar but that is not an option any longer and it only gives show favourites bar. I've only had my iPad for a few months and it's my first apple computer. Likely user error and any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well I feel silly. You were right. And didn't help that my titles for some were too long. Once I got rid of some the newer ones I'd tried to add popped up. Thank you!
