Problem with address bar

when the apple home page appears I am unable to write anything in the rectangular bar because it's shaded gray. Can anybody decipher this problem?

The adddress bar is part of the toolbar.
You can show/hide the toolbar in the Safari->View menu.
You can customise the toolbar by CTL+click on the toolbar and choose customise: self explanatory. You can drag the address bar out of it altogether.

  • Problem with address bar: won't execute typed in URL but works fine with bookmark address or links

    Address Bar: Typing in URL and cannot access page (nothing happens hitting <enter>). Using bookmarks or links works just fine.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Problems with address bar

    When you go to that drop down bit on the address bar, and select the site you want, it used to load automatically,o r by pressing return. Now it doesn't, you can only get there by using that little green arrow at the end. This has just started happening. Any ideas how to revert back to how it was?

    Issues with the Enter key not working can be caused by the AVG Safe Search Toolbar, so if you have that bar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) then you can try to disable that add-on.

  • Big problem with status bar legibility in IOS 7.0.4

    Hi, i'm adressing this problem to Apple. I recently update my iphone 4s to ios 7.0.4 and i have found some problems with status bar visibility in certain apps. Ex: in Photo app, the status bar is dark and it is unreadable, same in Lockscreen in Emergency menu, in menu when someone calls or you call someone and in Camera app the status bar is black and overlaps with the text and option buttons of the app. Please fix this as soon as possible because it is very frustrating.Sorry for bad english :d

    There is no Apple hear in this user to user forum.

  • 3 Problems with Address Book-- now considering Bento

    I have 3 problems with Apple Address Book that make it close to unusable for me, so I'm considering buying Bento 3:
    1. *Can't un-do accidentally deleted text*- When you click in the "Notes" section, it will select all the text there by default (instead of merely inserting the cursor). If you are not paying attention, and hit any other key when it is selected, it deletes everything in there. UN-DO will not un-do this. I've verified and reported this issue to Apple, but it has still never been fixed or formally addressed (aside from many complaints in the Apple forums).
    2. *Search doesn't always work*- Yesterday I searched for one of my entries, Harbor Freight, by typing in the search "harbor". Nothing came up. I thought that maybe I never actually added this business and started with a new one. After I created the new one, I noticed that now, along with the new entry, the old contact suddenly showed up in the left column.
    3. *Cards disappear*- Many complaints on the web about this. I do not do any syncing with MobileMe or any device. Occasionally, cards just seem to vanish. Sometimes the card is actually still there, but changes in the Notes field or other fields I made on a previous day were evidently not saved and gone. Very frustrating.
    Here's my concern with using Filemaker Pro's Bento: if it's using and accessing the same database as Address Book, all these problems might end up also existing in Bento. I use Address Book for business and personal and heavily rely on the Notes section. I can't keep wasting my time with this.
    I don't mind paying the $50 for Bento if it resolves these issues, but the shared database worries me. I guess that I could create an independent Bento database that is completely separate from Address Book, but then I don't know how well it would integrate with Apple Mail.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    DON'T DO IT. DO NOT INSTALL BENTO. I bought & installed it on 01/20/10 and it destroyed my address book. Gone forever. If you are having problems with Address Book now, wait until you see the damage created by Bento! Bento does not replace Address Book. It is a 'supplement' (at best) and uses and updates every file in your Address Book without you even knowing it! Well, you notice it when your database is destroyed and you find all of your contacts under 'No Name'. I am so serious. Bento is just a shell. None of your addresses are actually stored in Bento. They remain in Address Book. Every time you open Bento, it accesses your address book database, and starts re-formatting and re-working every entry along with any 'changes' you make. And who do you call for help? Apple says 'not our program'. Filemaker says 'we don't know anything about Mac's'.....I lost four years of addresses for all of my customers. Gone. In seconds! Just don't do it. Don't install Bento. And be sure to remove any 'smart groups' you have created as it seems to be at the root of most problems one encounters with address book.

  • Problem with Address Book and Exchange

    Hello,
    I have a little problem with Address Book and Microsoft Exchange 2003. I am able to connect to Outlook Web Access via Safari without problem. I see my contacts. Unfortunately when I setup everything needed in Address Book preferences (Synchronize with Exchange) the contacts didn't show in my Address Book. Strange thing is that no error is generated. can someone please help me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

    My suggestion is that you consider using Microsoft Entourage. For Exchange users on a Mac, Entourage is by far the best option. The down side is, you need to buy Microsoft Office 2004 to get Entourage, but your employer might own a site license, in which case, Office 2004 might not cost you anything.

  • Problems with scroll bars in list view

    Hello,
    I am using Xcelsius 2008 (Build Number 12,2,166).  I am still having trouble with scroll bars on my list view control. Other list views in my dashboard seem to be ok. It seems that this list view is not ignoring the blank cells in my excel file. I have gone through many things to correct this problem. I have added a new list view, I have copied other list views that work correctly but still no success. It seems that the "Ignore Blank Cells" property is not working correctly. Does anyone have a solution for this?
    Much Thx!

    Hi Yusufel,
    Please check the data whether the cells are really blank or having any space which could not be seen, etc.
    With best wishes
    BaaRaa.

  • Problem with Stacked Bar Chart

    I have a problem with a stacked bar chart in Numbers 09. My chart is a single series with 6 categories. All of the categories have different values. The first 5 categories display correctly. However, the last category does not display in the color its supposed to, but rather shows up as white/background instead of the grey color shown on the legend. However, the value label is displayed in the proper place.
    When I select other chart types (pie, regular bar, or regular column) the category shows up like it's supposed to.
    This is kind of annoying since I would rather use stacked bar instead of a pie chart. Is there an upper limit on the number of values it can display as a stacked bar chart? Is this just a bug? Thanks!

    Here's my result with six values in a single series. I double clicked the last bar to change its colour from the default grey (which was visible) to magenta.
    Numbers 2.0.3, iBook G4, OS X v10.4.11
    (Shot in the dark:) Try double clicking the value label, then changing the order position of this item.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Problem with SCROL BAR

    In my form i have fields in tabelar view and i have scrol bar.
    When the query has been executed, I want to see all of data in my form and I offcourse must to scrol down, but when I receive a lot of data my action with scrol bar occure system block, CPU time increase and I must to terminate(with end task) the aplication.
    This happened, not allways, in Forms9i and Forms6i.
    Is this some oracle bug or exist some developers trick to solve this problem?
    Thanks, it's very imported to us!

    this may be affected by many factors assuming your form coding is good.
    you may first try to set the block's QUERY ARRAY SIZE to see if it helps. if you allows DML, then the DML arrary size too, but you need to balance them by many trials. In fact, if you get a powerful server/client machine, that helps too.

  • Problem with tool bar

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my illustrator CS5, the toolbar doesn't show sub-options.
    For example if I click the Rectangle Tool (M) button looking for sub-options (a sub-option is for example the Ellipse Tool (L)), nothing happens. I managed to use the Ellipse Tool (L) through shortcuts, but I want my tool bar to be able to display all the sub-options.
    In other words all the buttons with a little triangle at the button-right corner, are supposed to show sub-options, but they don't.
    I've consulted the problem with one of my co-workers, he suggested installing it all again -> I don't wanna do that.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    You have to click and hold the button. As an alternative you can alt-click it to cycle through the tools

  • Weird problem with tabs bar

    So I just installed the new Safari 4 on my iMac after seeing it on my Dad's Macbook. How come his tab bar automatically show's up under the bookmarks bar and mine doesn't? He didn't change any settings or anything, that is just the way his looks after the install, but mine doesn't look like his. He has the address bar(with all the default buttons, etc . . .), bookmarks bar, then the Tabs bar right underneath. Mine just has the address bar and the Bookmarks bar, nothing else. How can I make it look like his?
    This is on the official release, not the beta.

    Go to Safari>View>Show Tabs bar.

  • Problems with Menu Bar after recent security update

    Ever since installing yesterday's security update I have been having problems with the menu bar. When clicking on the blue Apple in the upper left hand corner, no drop-down menu appears as it should. This problem also occurs in the drop-down menu named for the program in various instances (Thunderbird, Azureus, iTunes, Finder, Firefox) but not in others (Safari, Adium, VLC). Sometimes the menus are simply truncated and do not include all the options they should rather than not opening at all.
    I have run Disk Utlity which found no problems and have performed a hard restart multiple times but the problem persists. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.

    Thanks for the help. I tried most of the solutions listed in the link you supplied, but am still having the same problem. However, when I tried to run the Tiger Cache Cleaner, I got the following error message:

  • All sorts of problems with Address Book

    I am having a lot of problems with my Address Book all of a sudden. It started last Friday when out of nowhere my address book was empty. I used Time Machine to restore it and all was good, but then the next day, the same thing happened. Thankfully I had a backup of the archive and re-imported it and it worked well for a while then the same thing happened.
    In total, it has erased itself about 3 or 4 times, and today a new issue has arisen: my groups have all disappeared. The contacts remain, just the groups are all gone. Smart Groups however have remained.
    Any idea what could be going on here and how to fix it? I've also noticed a huge slowdown in my computer and see that "ADDRESSBOOKMANAG"is running often and taking up a ton of RAM.
    Thanks for any help.

    Well thankfully my address book has stopped deleting itself <knock wood>, but I'm STILL having the problem with AddressBookManag running all the time taking up tons of memory. Anyone know how to fix that?

  • Problems with usage bar in iTunes 12.1.0.71

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with the usage bar in iTunes: the "apps" section of the usage bar will just disappear as I'm syncing/removing/adding music.  Restoring my iPhone and uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes does not help.  Anyone know why this is happening?  It makes it  hard to know how much space  is remaining when the apps category disappears while I'm adding/removing music.
    Thank you!

    This doesn't make sense. Your statement "even though it's showing its connected" means that iTunes does see the iPad. Or am I misreading what you are saying?

  • Problems with address book after upgrading to Lion.

    I have lost all my contacts and if I try to add a new contact it's gone after I close and reopen the address book.
    Same thing if I import for example my gmail contacts.
    But there is more. If I add a new group I can't edit the new, so it's stuck as 'untitled group' (and gone if I quit the address book and reopen it).
    ..and If I add a new contact I can't edit it once it's added. I simply don't have the edit button.
    Someone having the same trouble? Or any suggestions how to solve it?
    Thanks!
    (So this is after upgrading to Lion and with the new address book 6.0)

    I'm a super loyal Apple customer for over 20 years. But I have to say, even though Apple has unparalleled  customer service, their responsiveness to software issues is non-existent.
    I had a problem with iMovie a couple of years back that involved 40 hours of hard work for a client, only to have all my work lost due to a software bug. Many, many others had the same issue. Apple never acknowledged the issue. I doubt that they will acknowledge this issue.
    That's shameful.
    I email to various groups, including a local residential group to which I add or subtract residents that move in and out of the neighborhood. AddressBook is now totally useless because I can't a new resident to the existing group! AddressBook 6 has been out how many months now? Not a peep from Apple with this issue!
