Safari Not Showing Web Address in Address Bar after Lion Update

Sometimes the address bar is blank (save the "Go to this address" message.) Other times, it reads only the hompage address for a site I visit. For example, if I'm reading CNN.com, it will only show "www.cnn.com" no matter what page within cnn.com I go. So, for example, if I want to copy the address of a certain article, I cannot copy it from the address bar as that will only give me "http://www.cnn.com."
Other times, if I visit cnn.com, for example, and then create a new tab and go to apple.com, the new tab will not show apple's web address, but remain as cnn.com's address. If I decide I need to reload apple's website, it will reload CNN's as that is what's in the address bar.
Does anyone have a fix to this?

this happened to me too.  for one reason or another, the url address disappeared and i kept getting "go to this address".  but found this to work:
1. minimize your screen
2.  under the "view" menu, click "show toolbar". 
3. when you maximize your screen, the url address should now be there. 
hope it works.

  • Firefox 31.0 EV-Certificate not showing green address bar in some cases

    I'm on vacation, using a public (non-password protected) wifi connection in a hotel.
    My bank's website is using an Extended Validation Certificate, hence the address bar should be green. Yet, right now, the address bar is no longer green (but it does show the lock icon). I checked some other TLS sites and, for example, https://www.verisign.com/ does show a green address bar.
    I also checked in Internet Explorer, which does show a green address bar. I compared the version and fingerprint for the certificates in Internet Explorer vs Firefox and they match.
    Is this a known issue?
    If not: has anything changed in Firefox 31.0 that could result in this?
    Cheers,
    Refund.
    P.S. Yes, I contacted my bank, their advice is to download and install Google Chrome because: 'Their experience with Chrome is better than with Firefox.' and see if the address bar stays green.

    What do you see in "Tools > Page Info > Security" if you click the padlock and click the "More Information" button?
    Are there any other icons on the location/address bar like a shield or exclamation mark?
    If there is a shield icon to the left of the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar then that means that mixed active content is blocked.

  • Can not type in address bar after updating Firefox

    I can not place the cursor and type in the address bar and search boxes (e.g. the one on the Firefox support page).

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

  • Enter key does not work anymore in address bar after FF update

    After the update the Enter key does not work anymore. Neither when I type the url directly, nor when I select it from the history.
    In short FF has become unusable. Now I need to install and use a less crappy browser. Extremely sloppy, amateuristic update.

    see if this is helpful : go to Tool > Options > Advanced > General tab > Browsing and '''Uncheck''': "Use hardware acceleration when available" .

  • New-host-5 under "shared" in finder side bar after Lion update

    Just upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion.
    Intermittently I am now seeing "new-host-5" in the SHARED section of the side bar of a finder window. Switching WiFi off and back on makes it disappear and not come back.
    Any help on tracking this down is much appreciated.
    Thanks, C

    Just did a little more digging and found that the IP address for "new-host-5" is the same as the one for my iMac, who is also on the network. Curiously enough the machine also shows up in the SHARED section with it's real name. Very puzzeling!

  • What is the safari keyboard shortcut for "show/hide address bar"?

    I have been unable to identify the second of the two keys for the "show/hide address bar" shortcut in Safari.
    It shows the command key and then a verticle line which I can not find on my keyboard. I tried i, l, and
    1, but its none of those.
    That would be a handy shortcut for me, but it seems to use a key I don't have!

    It's ShiftCommand\ in U.S. and Canadian English. If you look at the backslash key in those layouts, there's a vertical bar above it.

  • Safari does not show url address line. google is taking up all the space...

    safari does not show url address line anynore. google is taking up most of the space on the safari page

    Hover the cursor over that line until it becomes a big plus sign with arrows on the left and right. Click and drag the cursor so that the rest of the address line is the way you want it.

  • Express does not show IP address of wireless camera

    I have a functioning Axis M1011 wireless camera, with a live stream into Safari on my local iMac.  All is well.
    My brand new Airport Express is definitely providing the wireless camera feed, as my internal airport card on my iMac is OFF.
    What is odd is that Express does not show IP address of the wireless camera when you click on it in Airport Utility.
    The iMac is static at 10.0.1.2.  Express LAN IP is static at 10.0.1.1.   The camera's wireless IP is static at 10.0.1.3.
    I have a working, hidden network created by express.
    I am baffled why express does not "report" the IP address of the camera that it definitely sees.
    It does not report any wireless clients at all.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    So your ASA should have a route on the inside interface to internal networks. The address of that next hop in the routing table is the one you should have in your arp table allowing you to reach non-directly-connected (subnet-wise) hosts within the scope of that route statement.
    Think through the logic - ASA pings a host. It needs to determine proper egress interface. It checks and asks "Is it reachable via a directly connected interface (most preferred route)?" Answer no. "Do I have a route statement telling me how to get to it?" Answer yes (otherwise use default). OK - so ASA sends packet out egress interface defined in that route statement to the next hop as defined in route statement and waits for reply.

  • How do I send an email with a group address and not show the addresses/names of the recipients?

    How do I send an email with a group address and not show the addresses/names of the recipients?

    Use BCC.   That's blind carbon copy.   And copy paste the address into the BCC field.  It really depends what e-mail program you use how to enable BCC.

  • Contact information not showing in address book

    Migrated from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and the address book shows no contacts. The data appears to have been correctly imported into my user folder > library > application support > address book folder (but the icons show up as "Unix / Terminal" not "blank").
    I've run permission repair and daily / weekly / monthly maintenance routines to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    After several days of trying, i finally seem to have it working. What i ended up doing was exporting my backing up my addresses on another computer that still had Snow Leopard on it. I exported both as .abbu and vCards. I was then able to get the vCards into iCloud.
    Problem was, i could not get them to import into Contacts in Mavericks. I could not even add the iCloud account to contacts. It would let me sign in and choose contacts, but iCloud never showed up in the accounts nor did the contacts show up in Contacts.
    After trying repairing permissions and resetting the PRAM to no avail, it occured to me to delete the Address Book folder from /Library/Application Support
    Once that folder was gone, i was able to add iCloud to the accounts and import the .abbu file from Address Book.
    So if you did not export your Address Book contacts before updating, you will need a second computer that is still running Snow Leopard to export the contacts. Then you can delete the Address Book folder from the Library and you should then be able to import the contacts into Contacts on Mavericks.
    Hope this helps.

    I use Windows, but assuming Mac is the same, it's called the Bookmarks Toolbar, and you can add bookmarks to it by clicking the bookmarks star twice, then selecting Bookmarks Toolbar with the small arrow(s) to the right of 'Unsorted Bookmarks.' If you wish to add a folder, right click on the toolbar itself > New Folder.
