Safari tabs as icons

Is there any way to see all the different tabs in one Safari window at once as icons so I can choose the one I want. Let's say I have a window with 10 tabs. I would like to see all of them side by side (same as u can see different Safari Windows side by side by swiping 4 fingers down gesture)? I know the two fingers pinch in but that will enable you to swipe between them and not to see them all at once.

No, Safari on iOS 5 on the iPad uses tabbed browsing, the thumbnail/page browsing was on iOS 4. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update we'll have a choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

HELP , safari tab X icon missing ?

First time on support communities but need help , the X which closes the open tab is now missing , any ideas how to fix .
thanks .

Quit and relaunch Safari. If there's no change, please see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Having updated my ipad to ios 8 I have now lost the X to close the safari tabs, how do I get around this?

I have updated my ipad to IOS 8 and have now lost the X to close my safari tabs. How I am supposed to close the tabs now?

If you have more than one tab open, you should still see the "x". When you are down to the last tab, you will need to tap the View Open Tabs icon (upper right, looks like two over lapping squares). You also access Private Browsing from there.

Deleted phone, mail, safari, and ipod icons from 3g iphone.. Help!

I did just discover one way to get the missing icons back :

select
Reset Home Screen Layout
that will restore your missing icons, where phone, mail, safari and ipod are on the mail home tab.

How do you get a website to open in it's own 'app' instead of safari tab

Something I have noticed with the iPad that it is possible for webpages to run as if they are in their own app.
For example, the BBC iplayer (www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer). Open this site in safari, add an icon for it to your home screen, then when you use this icon to open the iplayer it opens as if it is an app, it doesn't have the address bar or back and forward buttons etc. Also when you double click the home button the iplayer icon shows up with the rest of the apps (usually you just get safari there) and if you open safari and look at the pages you have open it doesn't show there. It really does look as though it is an app, although what I'm guessing is happening is that it is open in a new instance of safari.
My question is, does anyone know how to get a site to do this? I'm assuming there are some meta tags in the HTML but I can't find any references to this being possible let alone how to do it.
Would really like to get this working on some of my sites so if anyone has any ideas would be much appreciated
Thanks

No, what you're seeing is the actual webpage
For example, the BBC iplayer (www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer). Open this site in safari, add an icon for it to your home screen, then when you use this icon to open the iplayer it opens as if it is an app, it doesn't have the address bar or back and forward buttons etc.
Actually, it does. Or should do, ay least. It does for me
Also when you double click the home button the iplayer icon shows up with the rest of the apps (usually you just get safari there) and if you open safari and look at the pages you have open it doesn't show there. It really does look as though it is an app, although what I'm guessing is happening is that it is open in a new instance of safari.
That's correct
My question is, does anyone know how to get a site to do this? I'm assuming there are some meta tags in the HTML but I can't find any references to this being possible let alone how to do it.
The site doesn't do it. Safari does it. All you have on your Home screen is the iPad equivalent of a webloc, a small text snippet containing the URL for whatever page you saved.

I lost my safari and mail icons. How can I get them back in the screen?

I lost my safari and mail icons on the ipad screen. How can I get them back or where can I find them?

Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

How should I do for my Tab Bar icon???(For iPhone 4)

I have already had the design. However, there are two resolutions:
30 x 30 pixels
About 60 x 60 pixels (high resolution)
Are they the same way to implement?
What is the implementation there???
I tried to put the icon file(png file) in my resources section of my Xcode, and then add the file from the attributes window of the tab bar. But It turned out that the image couldn't be shown, it was a square of gray color, no lines, no figures!
How come? What should I do?
Thanks a lot!!!

From the linked document:
For tab bar icons, create an icon in the following sizes:
For iPhone and iPod touch:
About 30 x 30 pixels
About 60 x 60 pixels (high resolution)
For iPad:About 30 x 30 pixels
Note: The icon you provide for toolbars, navigation bars, and tab bars is used as a mask to create the icon you see in your application. It is not necessary to create a full-color icon.
Use Preview, GraphicConverter, etc....see the Mac App Store for image editors and add an alpha channel to your image...size it, and add it to the bundle.

I pod touch screen appears to have shifted up. The music, mail, safari and videos icon are also transparent. How do I get screen back to normal

my 'music, mail, safari and phone' icons have gone from my home screen and the rest of my apps have spread out only show 16 on a page (instead of 20) i have no idea how to get them back and have tried resetting home screen which did nothing. i can get onto these applications but i have to search for them in the search screen. can anyone help me get these icons back? if so please help

this just rearanges the icons in the same order but with the screen still set up with only 16 icons an the bottom 4 (muisc mail...) missing are there any other ways i can get them back?

New Email counter missing in Safari tab?

Hi folks.
My ATT Yahoo mail page used to indicate on my Safari tab if new unread mail had appeared. Since going to ML and Safari 6, that has stopped and I dont know how to restore it. I found that there are widgets for gmail to do that, but I cant find one for ATT/Yahoo. Any ideas? Thanks.

Uhh, okay, for some reason it suddenly started working just minutes after my posting. Didnt work for weeks, and now was apparently humbled by my complaint and its fine. So, never mind, I guess.

Where are iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons...?

When installing Leopard, my main internal "Macintosh HD" (where all my programs are loaded) didnt show as an option, so I installed on my secondary HD. Leopard runs OK from here, BUT, I cant find my iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons, and the programs in the dock no longer show. Any advice?

Sadly, this is still an issue.
I guess plan A would be to find all the settings I am now missing and point the various programs to them. Though not sure how to do either of those things.
If this is difficult, then plan B is to "boot back into ...Tiger drive" and reload Leopard in drive bay 1 as originally intended. Again, not sure how to do that - and why it didnt work the first time.
Pls let me know if you think this is the right plan, and if so, what would the steps required look like.

Syncing safari tabs across multiple macs

I have a Mac Mini as my primary mac and a MBA as my "leisure" Mac. I thought with syncing that all my Safari tabs would be the same in both, like is done well with Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. However, I've just changed my Mini Safari tabs, and I went to my MBA expecting to see the same framework, and it has not updated. What do I need to do to sync across multiple macs?

The tabs are not synced, just the bookmarks. Tabs are not data or content, just a window frame for different URLs.

How will i remove this safari volume like icon that is shown in my lock screen?this recently showed up days ago..after i upadated with ios7

Thank you for the reply. I wanted to wait awhile in order to ensure that this corrected the issue. For a brief while, it did! However, it did not take long before the screen began once again hijacking my home button presses. This occurs even with Firefox removed from default applications ( triple-checked ).
This never happened before version 35.

Transclucent back behind Phone, Mail, Safari and Music Icons

I am curious to know was the background Translucent on the 5S behind the Phone, Mail, Safari and Music Icons and grey on the 5? If it was translucent on the 5S now after the update it is not any longer it is like the 5 was or still will be like the 5 with a grey background on the area in question also maybe even in the category app boxes it was the same as well. If anyone can be of assistance and let me know if it was like that as I have a friend who sent me a screen shot of his 5S and it was translucent in the area in question.

After the update to 7.1 it will not be. I did my 5 and set the transparency off and it is not as greyed but it is no longer translucent/transparent as before the update. now it is as same as the 5S i have.

HT4623 how do i restore the safari and camera icons?

how do i restore the safari and camera icons?

Another thing that can happen is they get lumped together (or with other apps) by accidental screen touching. Mine ended up together in a folder called 'photography'. I just held my finger on it until they were wobbly, and dragged them out to the desktop.
