Safari location/address box disappeared? What now?

I just ran the security update today (not sure which number, I just accepted it and restarted after it was done loading).
Now...my address/location bar at the top of the Safari windo is GONE!
I went through my pref's, couldn't find a way to resolve this, and even compared settings to my other mac sitting right next to this one. (I haven't run the security update on the other one yet, not going to until I figure out this prob.)
Any idea how to get Safari working properly again?
For now, I'm using the other computer, since the only way to enter a web site is for me to search in my google start-up page and then click a link within google. This is silly. Either I've unkowingly done something wrong, or I'm falling victim so a bug in the security update?
Thanks for any help!
My computer details:
ibook G4 1.33ghz
OSX 10.4.8
Safari 2.0.4
ibook running Safari 2.0.4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks gang.

Search the Web box to the right of my address bar disappeared, how do I get it back?

The "Search the Web box to the right of my address bar disappeared. How do I get it back?

It is gone in the new version of Safari and the Safari in Mountain Lion. You cannot get it back.
Search is now done inside the adress bar, so you did not lose the search functionally. The location has changed.

I am running OS X 10.9.1 on a MacBook Air....I had keychain issues that I bumbled my way through - deleted and created a new Keychain....now a box appears pretty regularly, wanting my Keychain login....i enter it and it's accepted and the box disappears.

Help..!! I'm running OS X 10.9.1 on a MacBook Air. I had keychain issues with passwords etc and bumbled my way out of it by deleting the current keychain and creating a new one with a new log-in (yes, I wrote it down this time!) But now these little boxes appear wanting my log-in ie. calendar, Safari, Outlook) and its annoying....entering the login gets rid of the box but what a pain and I know it's not right.....I know I need to enter somekind of automatic logins to these apps but how do I do that....and go easy on me, I'm not computer savvy.

Did you install the latest driver set for the device? there is a new release on motu.com for mavericks.

My school has a website. The professor uploads files in Word. When I click on the link at home using Pages, the download window opens with nothing in it and Safari opens with a blank in the address book. What Could be wrong? Wrong set up?

Hi Jo,
If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.

Barry

Cannot remove autofill entries that appear in the address box in Safari

If I type a single letter into the URL address box in Safari, a complete list of all the URL's I have ever visited that starts with that letter appears. How does one get rid of this list? I have tried using Safari Preferences>Autofill>Other forms>Edit>Remove All>Done, but that does not touch these entries. I have also tried emptying the Cache, rebooting, etc. Some of these entries date back months and are way out of date. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

Did you check your Preferences setting for "Remove history items:"? You can set it to as little as 1 day all the way to 1 year. If you've got it set for 1 year, you need to change it.
If that's not the problem, then what you're probably seeing are bookmarked sites (as well as sites you visited during your current browser session), which have nothing to do with AutoFill entries or history. In that case, you can remove the bookmarks you don't visit anymore. If you don't ever want to have your Address Bar autocomplete based on prior history, then you'd have to delete your history and prevent it from being saved.
Check these possibilities and post back with more details if neither of them are the real problem.

I tried to send an email, but the address box is not allowing me to print anything,also the subject box same. What can I do?

Does anyone know what happened to the mail address box and body that it won't work? Send, draft works fine, the outlines of the address areas are now pale, not black. Thanks

I went to color sync and adjusted it, and email is back and working as before. The contrast is fine.

I have had Aperture since 1.0 and bought every upgrade. Now I want to transfer the software to my new iMac but I have to enter the original Serial number that I cannot locate. Any ideas what i can do, please?

The original serial number should be in the box with the installer disk.
If you cannot locate the serial number, contact Apple for a replacement serial number. You will need to provide a proof of purchase.
See: Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers

P.S. The menu command "Aperture > About Aperture" will show you your Aperture 3 serial number on your old mac, but not the previous serial numbers.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

Windows Phone 8.1 is so full of surprises and opens the Windows Phone faithful up to a new world of apps.
Video editors and
file managers are just some of the new app categories possible thanks to Windows Phone 8.1. We’ve seen an official video editing app from Microsoft already, but today we finally get Files – the official file manager for Windows Phone.

What is the easiest way to access the router from an iPad? I have no problems accessing it from my laptop. Even though I am entering the address in the left address box, not the Google search box, it wants to do either a search, or add www to the beginning of the IP address.
I usually can eventually access the router, but it is way to much trouble. However, I use my iPad hundreds of times more often than my laptop.

Are you typing http:// in front of the IP address of the router? e.g. http://192.168.0.1
Sometimes, and with some routers it doesn't seem to like it if you miss off the http://

Don't despair Look at "Vintapps" in the Apple app store. It has tons of available apps for all those earlier ios devices. And you can download them right to your ios device. Many are free.
Although I wrote this 99 cent app specifically to help solve this problem, I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."
Be sure to keep backups of older software. Once an app is updated, the older version is no longer available to be downloaded from Apple.

There are a number of threads about it - it looks like Apple recently updated their address validation. Some people have recorded success by :
    ensuring that their iTunes account address is exactly the same as appears on their credit card bill
    putting something in the second line of the address (including just copying the first line)
    expanding abbreviations e.g. St to Street, Ave to Avenue etc (or conversely abbreviating)
    putting apartment or suite number on the second address line
