Safari 5.1.1 in Lion: download button disappeared

Hello,
on this evening has the download button disappeared in Safari 5.1.1 (Mac OS X 10.7.2).
Repair Disk Permissions, to delete safari plist and reset of Safari didn't help.
What can I do?

Hi, I reformatted my MBP recently and updated Safari to 5.1.1 then noticed the download button was missing. As per this thread and several others, I tried downloading something to see if it would make the button appear, but it hasn't. Is there something else I can try? Thanks in advance.

HT204406 After I upgraded to iTunes 11.1 the download button disappeared. How do I get it back?

After I upgraded my iTunes to versoin 11.1 a number of my songs suddenly showed that they were unavailable for download, but that I could play them from iCloud. I verified that I actually can stream and play them from the iOS devices that I own; but that's only useful if I'm in range of a router or cell tower (not always the case!).
In the past, I could right-click on a song and choose Download from the context menu. That has disappeared. The online help says to use the Download button, but that button is not present. How can this functionality be restored?

I had this same issue after I upgraded. Have iTunes re-scan your library for iTunes Match (Click "Match" along the top row of your library -- Songs Albums Artists... etc.). After it finished re-scanning my library I could download songs again from iTunes Match.

Safari 2.0.3 - Back and Forward buttons disappeared

The Back and Forward buttons that are normally found next to the address bar have vanished. If you move the mouse over their position and click they show and activate, but is just a blank space when mouse pointer is not there. Have tried reloading them from the toolbar preferences, but the icons dont appear there either, just the space where theyshould be.

Stephen,
Quit Safari, find the com.apple.Safari.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder, drag it to the Desktop, and log in/out or restart and let us know what happens.

Mountain Lion Download option disappeared from app store.

I purchased mountain lion and downloaded it to a few of my macs and I was trying to install it again and it no longer shows as a download option in the app store. Do they only let you download it a limited number of times?

No, whatever the problem is, that is not it.
Try signing out of the App Store, and signing in again. It should appear under "Purchases".
Make sure that you did not "hide" the purchase:

Download Button not a Toolbar Option in Safari 8.0.2

I'm running Yosemite on a late 2010 MBP with Safari 8.0.2 and the "Download" button with the down-arrow is not a possible option in the VIEW / CUSTOMIZE TOOLBAR section. Is anyone else having this problem, or can anyone tell me where it is?
Thanks,
Alex

Are you running any Safari extensions that modify the toolbars?
I have the download button in 8.0.2:
It set up that way under Mavericks and Safari seems to have kept the same settings for YO when I upgraded last week.
and this is supposed to reveal the download button on my toolbar?
Take a breath! I believe Dominic is giving you good advice. The download button may not appear until you actually download some to go into the Downloads folder--worth a try.

I bought OS X Mountain Lion a few days ago from the App Store but it will not download. In the purchased section of the App Store it says 'an error has occurred' in red letters next to the download button. I have been charged for it but not downloaded it?

If i click on the download button in the purhased section nothing happens. if i go into the App store and click download on Mountain Lion there it looks like it is starting to download and opens Lauchpad but it never moves off 'waiting'.
Any help would be great.
Thank you !

In "purchases" while in my App Store, Mountain Lion says, "an error has occurred" and the green 'download' button is grey and I cannot re-start the download. I was abroad when I purchased this app and during download, my internet connection was lost.

I was abroad when I purchased this app and during download, my internet connection was lost. At the time, Apple was still offering the e-chat, so I did that and the man was very helpful and it was a quick fix, so my download button turned green again, and I was able to begin the download. BUT during the download, I was kicked offline once again, and I decided to wait until I was back in the USA. I will go in to an Apple store and ask assistance, but if there is something I am missing, I'd like to try that first. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Why doesn't anything happen when I hit the download button for Mavericks OS X? I have a MacBook Late 2009 with Lion 10.7.5.

Down load fron the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It will show you all of your files and the respective sizes.
In addition, click on your HDD icon in the upper right hand corner of your desk top with COMMAND I (I as in the letter i). What does it say about the space used and available.

Download button for Mountain Lion

Successfully downloaded and installed Mountain Lion from the App Store this afternoon. Under Purchased items in the store it is showing Mountain lion with a live black download button. Apparently the App Store has not recognized the downloading and installation of same. Not a big deal but I'm concerned whether the App Store will still offer me updates of the OS in the future. Is there a way to get the App Store to recognize my installation of Mountain Lion?

Should the App Store Purchase section be showing it as installed
Not necessarily. The Download button is available if you want to re dowload Lion to use that download to create a Mountain Lion install disc.
And, if you want to download Mountain Lion on another qualifying Mac, you can do so using that same button at the App Store using the same Apple ID for free.

Safari 8 download button is gone

On Safari 8, the download button to the right of the toolbar is missing on one of my systems. it is there on the other systems. I tried checking to add it from preferences, but it isn't an option in Safari Preferences, nor in System Preferences. Any thoughts?

Once "Downloads" list is cleared, the Downloads icon will disappear from the Safari Toolbar.
The icon will reappear once you start downloading any item from the web again.
That is the normal behavior.

Cannot select the Safari Download button even though I can see it

I cleared the entries in my Safari Download button (not to be confused with the Downloads folder). Now this button is greyed and I cannot select it any more. Can anyone help?

Most likely problem is that the button disappears 'upon successful download' because your 'remove download list items' prefeference is set that way. See below.. and set 'remove download list items' preference to either 'when safari quits' (like you see beow) or 'manual.' Then the button will persist, and you can find the item easily until you quit safari .. or remove all items from the list manually .. depending on which of the two settings you choose.
I like the 'quit safari' option, because I don't have to do anything to keep the list small and usable; it is cleared out every time I quit safari. And the files themselves persist in my downloads folder if I need to go find them later.

Safari.1.1lion when i open a new window it opens as the old version without the reading list button or the download button why is that ?

so i downloaded the new safari version safari.1.1lion and i installed it and i love it but when i open a new window or i close safari and open it again it opens like the old version (the safari leopard ) it doesnt have the doenload button or the reading list button . it only opens as the new version if i restart the computer why is that.

I did find the problem... It was the DivX Plugin for Firefox. I just found I wasn't using it. I went to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled it. FYI I am running Windows 7.
