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 8.0.3 missing download button

I opened my Safari (version 8.0.3 / 10600.3.18) today (running Yosemite 10.10.2) on my 15" 2012 Macbook Pro and noticed the download icon that is usually located in the upped right-hand corner of Safari is missing. I right-clicked on the Toolbar and clicked the "Customize Toolbar..." option, and in the customization pulldown window which follows the download button (icon) is no longer displayed as an option for the Toolbar. It's gone!
I use this download button frequently to see the progress of my downloads and to pause or cancel them. Anyone else notice that their download button is gone? Anyone know how to get it back? Is this a new addition (or rather, a subtraction) from Safari in 8.0.3? I'm pretty sure I was using this button earlier this week. Perhaps after the 10.10.2 update the button went away?

Hello sbunns,
Glad to see your challenge is sorted. Mine is along the lines of yours but for mine, all the icons on Safari 8.0.3 running Yosemite 10.10.2 on MacBook Air 13 inch Mid 2013 are missing. I first got this message when I opened a new page on Safari: "Your copy of Safari is missing important software resources. Please reinstall Safari.". Safari then froze and later was ok but the icons did not re-appear. I then shutdown the mac and restarted and all icons just display a white box. So i had icons for print, share, back and forward and couple of others. I however had an extension that converts $ currency on any website am viewing on Safari to South African Rands so maybe that's the culprit. I'll try take that off and see if it solves the problem. Posted incase anyone went through a similar experience and if they found a solution.
Thanks.

Thanks for the help

Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

"get" button is gone - refresh download - original file can not be found.

I have a podcast open in iTunes with the audio files displayed in a list. There was a "get" button beside each audio file. I did press "get" and download all the files. But I've since deleted the files from my hard drive.
If I try to play the audio files, an error message is displayed "... the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?". The locate tries to search my hard drive and the "get" button is gone, so I can't download from the internet again.
Please tell me if I can make iTunes dowload my podcast audio files from the Internet again, refresh the audio files, download them a second time?
Thank you,
iTunes 7

Most podcast producers allow downloading directly from webpage. However, episodes downloaded outside iTunes will not go into podcast section of source pane. iTunes will treat these files as music.
To get the 'get' button back unsubscribe from the feed, delete it from iTunes, then subscribe again. This has worked for me.

I can't move the "Show Downloads" button in Safari 6

I would like to move the "Show Downloads" button that is, by default, in the upper right-hand corner of the all windows that show the toolbar in Safari 6. When I use the Customize Toolbar interface I can't seem to get any interaction with the "Show Downloads" button to stick; dragging it to another place on the toolbar causes it to revert to its previous position, as does attempting to remove it from the toolbar alltogether. When attempting to remove it, it produces the little smoke puff animation that is supposed to happen but it simply reappears in the same place. Is there no way to change this button's location? Why not?

Try clicking on View, then clicking the Show Downloads text in that menu. When I tried that, the button dissapears after you clear them.

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.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

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.

Show Downloads Button

I'm working on a 2009 desktop iMac with Mavericks 10.9.4
I've been trying to figure out why my downloads from websites don't appear in my downloads folder, with the help of some of the community members. I was gone for a few days, so that stream ended.
So now what I'm looking at is the Show Downloads Button on the Safari toolbar. When I attempt a download (say for a flashplayer update) the Show Downloads Button does pop up, but then disappears so fast I can't click on it. And then when I go to the Downloads Folder in Finder, my download does not show up.
Today I needed to download a Firmware update for my printer. The Show Downloads Button appeared and I rushed to click on it. I got it just in time and was able to successfully install my update. From my experience with the speed of previous downloads, I don't know if I'll be able to catch it every time.
I've added the Downloads Stacks to my Dock, but that doesn't show downloads that need to be installed.
I've turned off all Safari Extensions. The only Community suggestion I haven't followed up on is one that says I may have a corrupt system and need to take it to the Genius Bar.
Can anyone think of anything that I can do to slow down the Show Downloads Button so I can use it the way it was meant to be used?

Try clicking on View, then clicking the Show Downloads text in that menu. When I tried that, the button dissapears after you clear them.

When a Safari download is interrupted, I get the message "You do not have permission to access the requested resource" when I try to restart it.

I have had this issue with my Macbook Pro ever since I bought it in November. If I start downloading a file with Safari, and the download gets interrupted, I am unable to resume downloading from the point where it was interrupted. Clicking on "resume downloading" button in the downloads list works fine it I do it immediately after the download is interrupted, but if a little time has elapsed (as little as a few minutes) since the interruption it will not let me resume the download, and I get the message in the downloads list "You do not have permission to access the requested resource." I have repaired my permissions...I don't know what else to do. Here's my system configuration:
Macbook Pro Mid-2012 Retina Display
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB RAM
System 10.8.2
I just have to editorialize for a moment: My old Macbook Pro and my Mac Pro both worked great with Snow Leopard, but since upgrading the Mac Pro to Mountain Lion and buying the new Macbook I have had all kinds of issues like this. Tech support at Panic software, that I contacted because of issues with some of their software, told me that I was only one of many with Mountain Lion issues, but here we're over half a year since the release of 10.8 and we're only on system 10.8.2. Is anybody at Apple actually trying to fix the issues?
Thanks for anything you can tell me!
