Safari has disappeared from my dashboard.

Greetings:
For some reason Safari's logo has disappeared from my dashboard. Now I have to do a search for it every time. That's annoying. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I have an iMac 10.5.8, Leopard, I believe. Many thanks in advance, Sharon C.

Safari icon missing in the Dock?
Launch Safari from the Application folder.
When Safari is running, control click the Safari icon and select "Keep in Dock"
from the contextual menu.
Best.

    Don't recall the exact wording. But it is the same in appearance as others.  Anyway, problem solved using RogerWilmut1 reply to someone else.  I opened Applications and got the icon back.  Thanks for responding.

  • TA38616 Safari has disappeared from my phone - how do I get it back?

    Safari has disappeared from our iPhone. It's nowhere to be found with apps, and isn't listed in settings anymore. FaceTime is also gone. No idea how they disappeared. How do I get them back? Do I need to do a full reset?

    Make sure to mark the thread as solved so others can refer to it for help. Let me know if you need anything else!
    Edit: I'd put a password on your phone to prevent changes like this. You can have one that is required to unlock it, but if you have others (kids, family) use the phone and don't want that, you can still put a password just to prevent changes to certain settings. Might help in the future.

  • HT1338 Safari has "disappeared" from my desktop. How do I get it back?

    Safari has disappeared from my desktop. How do I get it back?
    This is a family computer and no telling how it was deleted. Firefox is OK, but seems to be running slow with a few annoying pop-ups. I am a novice Mac-ophile.
    Suggestions?

    Go to the Apple Menu and use Software Update, enter your password and do what it says, check again to make sure it's clear.
    Next look in your Applications folder for Safari and drag it's icon to the Dock, and place Safari there, it will make a new "shortcut"
    If Safari is not working then
    Next see if you can download the Safari from here using Firefox and install it.
    https://www.apple.com/safari/
    If it says "can't install blah blah blah" then exit and trash the installer.
    Apple issues newer Safari versions via Software update and it takes some time to get it on the web side.
    But that's how you re-install Safari, however the Software update likely will fix your malware issue and provide a new Safari.
    If you need Safari right away there is a way to reinstall it and all of OS X at once, quite a chore.

    Have you checked the Applications folder? If you are trying to start from the Dock, the alias may have become corrupted.
    Another browser  Firefox
    Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then reinstall the OS.

  • The logo for Safari has disappeared from my screen

    The Safari logo has disappeared from the screen, but I can access Safari by searching the iPhone and using the resultant logo.  Although this works, I would like to recover the logo so I can use Safari directly. 

    Thank you for the quick response.  This worked; now I am a happy camper

  • Safari has disappeared from my iPad4, iOS up to date. How do I get it back?

    MMy grand-daughter was using my iPad, and  her little brother "might have" got hold of it! Now safari has disappeared. Please can anyone tell me how I can get it back?

    Look in other home screens and folders.  You can use Spotlight search to look for the App.
    If it cannot be found, look under Settings->General->Restrictions, and make sure its not restricted.

  • Safari has disappeared from my dock & applications

    Not sure why but when I turned on my MacBook Pro this morning I found the Safari logo looking like this
    So I dragged it out of the dock and proceeded to the application folder to only find it missing from there too.
    I tried downloading/installing Safari 5 from Apples website but got an error message.
    How do I go about re-storing it?

    I suppose you really mean OS X 10.6.8 as you wouldn't be able to run iOS on a Mac.
    Try downloading and installing the 10.6.8 update combo. You can find it on the Apple Downloads site.

  • My Safari history tab has disappeared from my bookmarks.  How Can I retrieve it?

    My History tab in Safari has disappeared from my bookmarks on my iPad 2.  Hw Can I retrieve it

    There used to be a setting where you could set limits on the Safari history but those settings are gone now. IIRC, the settings were for 100 items, 150, 200 or something like that. It was a number of items in the history list and not a number of days. Since iOS a devices can sync bookmarks with Safari on your computer now, perhaps, that is where the history limit can be adjusted.
    I am not a good judge of how long the history is retained because I erase my history and website data on a fairly regular basis. With the reading list feature and the ability to create a shortcut on the home screen for websites, I don't often find the need to go back to my history for weeks in the past.

    Why has Safari suddenly disappeared from my iPhone?

    It is not possible to delete Safari, it may have moved to a different screen.  Do a search for the app or you can click on your settings>general>reset then select reset home screen layout.
