Safari missing URL bar

My Mac pro updated to Safari 5.1 and worked fine for a couple of days but now does not have a URL address bar.  I can't get far with that.  I have been reading this forum but have yet to see this problem posted.  I have already updated my apps and gotten rid of those that were not essential.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Thank you very much Charlie.  It worked, of course!  This was my first time on the forum and I'm glad I finally posted.

  • HT1338 safari missing url bar

    how to restore the safari url tab?
    I try to un install so i could reinstall , but a message came up saying cannot be uninstall because it came with operating system

    Click View from the Safari menu bar then from the drop down menu click Customize Toolbar. Drag up the default bar or individual objects.
    Going by your profile, your Mac has Lion v10.7 installed.
    The only way to reinstall Safari on Lion is to use Lion Recovery

  • Safari 5 URL bar searches page title in addition to URL

    I just upgraded to Safari 5. Now whenever I start typing a URL in the URL bar, it gives me suggestions based on the page's title in addition to the page's URL. I want to disable this new "feature" and go back to the old functionality where it only suggests pages by URL.
    Thanks.

    I agree, I do NOT like this new feature. Say I earlier went to an eBay sub-page, now I want to go to the eBay home page. I start typing e-b-a-y and it autofills the URL for the eBay sub-page I visited earlier.
    I do not want to go to that one, so I press "delete", which simply removes the autofill suggestion and also the "y" in ebay, so I type the "y" again and the same suggested page fills in.
    So now in order to go to the eBay home page I must type "ebay.com" whereas before I could just type "ebay".
    Before Safari 5 these "already visited pages" would show up as a drop-down window, which I could scroll down to and choose if that's where I wanted to go. Now, though, that they're coming up in the address bar I'm forced to go there or type in the complete URL.
    How can I turn this feature off. I know there's a Terminal command to do it, because there are Terminal commands to turn on and off many other features of Safari.
    I do not wish to simply use Private Browsing because that turns off suggestions from my Bookmarks.
    Help!!

  • Troubleshoot with Safari Internet URL bar

    This is in regards to the Safari Internet. The link bar at the top of my internet browser is not showing anymore. That is, the bar to type in the URL of a site... www... has disappeared and i can't seem to get it back anymore. I may have clicked something accidentally and now i can't seem to figure out how to get it back again. Can something please help me figure this out. On the View>Customize Toolbar option, the URL bar appears in the toolbar, yet in reality, it really isn't there. Help? Thank you in advance!

    Hello an:
    I think I understand your last post (maybe) as we may be having a terminology problem
    When you open Safari you should have two "bars" - the toolbar and, under that, the bookmark bar.
    As I understand your post, you still do not have an address field in the toolbar. Click on view>customize toolbar. Drag the "go to this address/google" item to the toolbar. After that, you may customize your bookmark bar any way you wish by showing all bookmarks and changing the bookmark bar items.

  • Safari 8 URL bar

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and safari 8.0.
    Macbook Pro Retina 13" (late 2013)
    Sometimes when I type a website in the URL-bar and press Enter, nothing happens? This is particularly annoying when you only type the first couple of letters of a website in your history, and it automatically completes the address. The completed address is there, but the website doesn't load. I have to click the bar again and press Enter a second time.
    This happens randomly and is not the same every time for any particular website. Sometimes I can replicate it for a particular website 10 times in a row, and then a couple of minutes later i can't.
    I didn't have this problem before I upgraded, and my keyboard is working perfectly.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

      Go step by step by step and test.
    1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
        Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
        Restart the computer.

  • Missing url bar

    Lost url bar on toolbar. Can't figure out how to get it back!

    Some possibilities include:
    View menu: Show Toolbar or Customize Toolbar.

  • New windows open with different toolbars (and missing URL bar)

    When I select the "New Window" button or "Open in New Window" from the context menu, a new Firefox window opens - however, the toolbars are completely different from the original open window. Specifically, the URL location bar is missing.
    I can add it back, but the change then modifies my original toolbar setup.
    More bad behavior: Even if I modify the new window back to the way I wanted it, new windows opened from that window revert back to the modified version, with no location toolbar.

    You can try:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Prevent_websites_from_disabling_new_window_features
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript#Advanced_JavaScript_settings
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Safari Address (URL) Bar

    My kids did something to my computer yesterday, and now I cannot see the Address bar in the Safari browser. It used to show above the row of buttons for home, print, etc.
    I have checked all of the documentation and Safari help, but cannot find any information on how to set the Address bar to hide or show.
    Does anybody know what I need to do?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Click on the View menu and choose "Show Toolbar".
    From your description I think that's all you'll need to do. But if the address bar still isn't visible you may also need to click on View > Customize Toolbar and then drag the items you want back into the toolbar.

  • Safari missing address bar

    OSX 10.8.2 Safari 6.0.2 Safari is not full-screen.  Safari has no address or search bar.  I swear it was there before upgrading to iTunes 11.  Choosing View>Show Toolbar does nothing.  Anyone have any ideas?
    TIA.

    Select Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

  • Safari URL bar disappeared

    The URL bar on Safari disappeared and when I open a 'new tab' under 'file' a new tab appears but the tab says 'untitled' and a new browser does not open. I think I did something by mistake. What should I do? Please help me with a very non technical answer. I tried resetting to the default settings but this did not help.

    I think I may not have explained my problem well. Until I did something which I probably should not have done, I could simply type a URL and the given web site would appear. Now, the only way I can get to a URL is to go to yahoo or google, do a search for the URL and then click on the URL when it is listed among the results for the search. I want to get the browser back to the way it way before and have it provide me with the option of typing in a URL near the top of the screen. I am neither asking how to include a URL in the toolbar nor how to include a URL as a favorite.
    Does this help?
    Thank you.

  • Safari constantly fighting url bar

    Hi Team,
    So I am back with more issues surrounding the usability model for Safari URL bar.
    This is the behaviour that causes a 3X increase in workload to get it to work.
    1. Single click highlights the entire url, so I have to double click to unselect, then click to position cursor...
    Where else in OS X is this behaviour - it is wrong.
    2. When I copy the URL, it does not allow me to copy *without* the http:// or https:// etc.
    This mean I have to go back to the start of the url and manually delete the http protocol part all the time!
    Try a copy from url, then in terminal > traceroute [paste url]
    Infuriating
    3. Now I find a new pet hate.
    When I enter a domain, it auto completes, and often correctly - awesome... not so fast.
    when I arrow to right, to continue typing, Safari 'assumes' I want a slash /
    But I want a port!! this is also a valid address http://www.mysite.com:81/index.html
    So, there you have it.
    Safari is worse than before from a usability perspective, and I am a long time user and pretty darn inconvenienced by these cahnges.
    All I ask, can we have a 'choose behaviour' setup?
    How hard can it be to create a real developers browser?
    Pray for the best, you know we deserve the best, not a sheep-browser.

    Matt Hardy's Apple Support message, "copy url includes http" dated Aug 28, 2012 describes a hard-to-describe issue as well as any I've ever seen anywhere.  (Thanks Matt!)  Regarding that issue, I am surprised that even though I always perform timely OS and Mac App updates Safari's "Copy and Paste URL" remained UI logical on my system until after upgrading to Yosemite. (In other words, like Carolyn Samit's post above, Safari's "Copy & Paste URL" was still UI logical on my system back in June of 2013.)  Now, and since late 2013, that simple operation has become a huge annoyance - exactly as described by Matt and by ericblanding  at https://discussions.apple.com/message/19413328#19413328. 
    The issue is now more than 2 years old!   Hoping to hear from Matt Hardy or ericblanding...  "Am I overlooking a solution?"

  • Safari 4.1.3 won't let me type in URL bar

    I'm using Safari 4.1.3 in OSX10.4.11 on a PowerPC G4 12 inch Powerbook. Last night I suddenly became unable to type in the URL bar. If I try to, my cursor changes to the pinwheel and never stops, so I must force quit. I can still highlight and delete text in the URl bar, as well as reload the current page by pressing enter/return. I can also type in the browser's Google search bar, and I can still navigate to other pages by clicking links on the page already open. This is the first time I've had this problem.
    A complete system scan with Sophos found nothing, and deleting and reinstalling Safari 4.1.3 has not resolved the issue. What's going on here? Anyone seen this before?

    Hi,
    Go to  ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ApplicationCache.db
    Move the ApplicationCache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Restart your PowerBook, try Safari.
    If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
    Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    It's not a malware or virus issue... 

  • Search Google from the URL bar in safari not working, Help...

    Hi to everyone,
    im stuck here trying to find out why i can't search more in the url bar in safari. Just happened few weeks ago and i most use bing or yahoo.
    I did try to delete cache and plist etc, everything i read in the net but still not working. I have mac pro 2011, and I'm not sure but i think this happened after i open a second account for my girlfriend in my mac, so she can have her own account. I check and in the other account happen the same...some ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • What happened to my URL bar in Safari?

    How do I get back my URL bar? I allowed auto updates today and found out after the update that Safari now bundles search and url in one bar. Hate it. Can I revert to the old preference?

    You can get the URL bar back from the menu , View, Show Toolbar. (at least in Safari 5.1.7)
