Safari - Where'd my address bar go?!

Hey y'all!
My dad has an iMac, and he was on Safari one day when he realized that his address/URL bar was missing. We have tried to no prevail to find out how to get it back. Please help - it is a minor problem that has now turned majorly annoying. Thank you!

Then go to View > Customize Toolbar and choose the Address Bar field if that's the only thing missing, or choose the Default Set of icons at the bottom if everything is missing and drag them into place.

Safari 4 Bookmarks in Address Bar

How do I get them to go away? I don't want to see what I bookmarked every time I type letters into the Address bar.

Hi,
Bar Top Sites, the same functionality exists in Safari 3.
If you still want to revert, use TimeMachine if you use it or revert using your last backup. If you have neither, the simplest and safest route is to perform an [Archive & Install|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710] of OS X.

Where is the address bar gone?

there is no address bar in the last couple of versions of firefox ? not on permanent display anyway and i want them.

'''See item #2''' in the following and also display the Navigation Toolbar
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]
If you are in Full Screen Mode, toggle on/off with F11. Even in Full Screen mode you can move the cursor up through to top to see the menus, or use Ctrl+L to have entry access to the Location Bar.

My address bar is missing

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*Firefox > Options
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

Where, O where, has my address bar gone? (And how do I get it back?)

My location bar has disappeared. There is only the search bar. I want two separate bars, not one. How do I get back my location bar?

You have the Classic Theme Restorer extension and that makes the Navigation Toolbar work differently.
You can check the settings of this extension in its Options/Preferences in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions.
It is also possible to hide the Navigation Toolbar when CTR is installed and enabled.
Make sure all toolbars are visible.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
*View > Toolbars<br>Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup
You can try to delete the xmlstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.

Safari 6.0 Search / Address Bar

Hi
Under Safari preferences you can select your search engine, but how can one localize the search? E.g. for South Africa: use google.co.za, not .com.
Cheers,
Mike

Well Safari crashed when I started poking around preferences and deleting certain websites that stored cookies, so I restarted my computer and the problem fixed itself.

I have a pc, and i accidentally deleted the address bar in my safari browser and no longer have any view options to get it back

I have a pc, and i accidentally deleted the address bar in my safari browser and no longer have any view options to get it back. I uninstalled and reinstalled safari twice, but the address bar still isn't there and neither are the view options. If there anyway to get it back?

I'd try the following user tip with that:
Safari for Windows: getting your bars back

Can't enter any text in Safari address bar. Why?

I can't enter any text into the Safari address bar. The keyboard is working fine as it works in all other applications?
Any ideas??
Thanks.

I understand. Close the window, and open a new one. Try the Address Bar. If no go, try Safari from another User Account. I'm curious if the Address Bar works there. If it doesn't, then you'll need to reinstall Safari.
Just in case you need this: Here is guidance from Apple on how to set up the account. You can ignore step 7 in the article.
Also, on the system preference>Accounts panel, click on "log-in" options. There, select "fast user switching". This allows you to go back and forth between user accounts via an icon in your Menu Bar at the top of the computer screen.
Log-on to the new account and start Safari. If the address bar works in the new account, then your problem is specific to your regular user account. Otherwise, similar response means a system-wide problem.

HELP: Safari Address Bar is missing

Does anyone know what I should do to get my address bar to come back? I have been using my mac mini for a few weeks, including Safari and one day last week when I turned on the PC and Safari my address bar was gone. I have gone into the view tab several times and tried to get the address bar to return but it is missing. I have rebooted and I have reset Safari and still no address bar. What can I do? Thanks

Hi
Go to the View Menu>Customize Address Bar. This will open the Icon panel. You'll see an "Address and Search" bar. Click/Drag it to the Address Bar area of the browser window. Select "done".

Web address bar??

Not sure what to call it but the bar that appears at the top of the screen in safari where you type addresses or search. Mine disappeared recently and I cannot get it back. Anyone have an idea what's wrong? TIA

Control-click on the top of the Safari window and select "Customize Toolbar...". From there you should be able to put it back.

Address Bar problems

Hi all,
I just got my Macbook as a gift from my Partner and I love it! I have a question about Safari and using the address bar.
Basically when I use other browsers you are able to click on the address bar and see past visited websites this is not the case with Safari. How can I set it so this feature is available? I suppose the main question would be if Safari can actually do this?
Dave

Thanks for the replies. I have tried the suggestions and when you open a new browser window it does indeed realize that you have been to that site before.
The problem is I am used to using Firefox where you are able to go up to the address bar and click on the little down arrow and view all of the sites you have visited and not have to type anything it the bar at all. This allow you to see where you have been and select the website you want without any typing.
Does Safari have this option?
Dave

Where is my location bar?

Where is my address bar or the place where I type in a web address?
Also, when I need to go back one page, the left and right arrows are not there? Very crummy set up is Mozilla Firefox!!!! Also, Firefox does not show on the home page where I can print off an article.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Deleting urls in the address bar?

please excuse me if i am posting my question in the wrong forum.
How do i delete urls that appear in my address bar?
thanks, in advance
Ryan

Hello Ryan and Welcome to Apple Discussion.
if you are asking about deleting a url in Safari, then you are in the wrong forum you should be in Apple Safari Discussions However, it is understandable to get disoriented in the forums.
To answer your question (if Safari), click in the address bar on the little icon on the far left of the url. in some urls it may look like the default "world" or it may have some other icon there. it will select the enitre addres even the stuff that may not be visible. then just click delete or start typing the new url.
