Search Bar Problem

Hello. When I'm playing a track on iTunes and want to scroll through the song using the search bar, when I hold down the left mouse button and start scrolling, the track starts rewinding and keeps rewinding as long as I hold the mouse button down.
Any thoughts?

Anybody?

Safari unified search bar problem

When I type in a search term in Safari's new unified space bar, the website I'm currently viewing is appended to the search. This results in a bogus search. For example, if I'm viewing the macdailynews.com website and type in a search, the search term becomes:
iphone 5 review site:macdailynews.com
If I'm at appleinsider.com and type in a search it becomes:
does ios 6 work with ipad 1 site:appleinsider.com
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

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

My search bar for my library no longer works. Also, the menu bar is no longer visible. Noticed this problem last Saturday. Can anyone help me with this?

My search bar for my iTunes library no longer works. Also, the menu bar is no longer visible. Noticed this problem last Saturday. This might be an issue with my desktop, and not iTunes itself Can anyone help me with this?

Press Ctrl-B to toggle the menu bar on and off.
When you say that the "search bar for my iTunes library no longer works" can you be more specific? The operation of the search function has changed in iTunes 12, essentially having two very distinct modes:
when Search Entire Library is checked, entering a search string will generate a dropdown of all matching items within your whole library, from which multiple operations are available via context menus
when Search Entire Library is unchecked, entering a search string creates a filtered view of whatever your current focus is (e.g., if you're looking at a playlist the filter applies only to items in that playlist) with none of the dropdown options as in the first case

Safari 6 encrypted search bar causing problems

I don't care if my search is encrypted or not, but it seems that Safari cares. I think this is new. I don't remember it being encrypted before, but maybe that's because I hadn't paid attention before my problem developed. I'm using Safari 6.1.4 on a MBP and I don't particularly remember an update lately, but this problem is new, within the last week or maybe two weeks.
The problem: when I try to use Safari's address bar/ search bar to search for a term in quotation marks— "John Doe" for instance— because I want only search results with that name, not all the instances where John and Doe happen to be on the same page—Safari switches the search to the html, written out exactly like this, no kidding: "john doe" (and then helps me with my obviously awful spelling!) and I get search results involving not just any instance of john and any instance of doe—because they're not in quotation marks anymore!!—but also the word quote, so that I get results primarily involving quotations!!! where the words I searched for are on the page.
When I click on the little https symbol, thinking this is the problem and maybe I can turn off the encryption, the popup tells me that "Safari is using an encrypted connection to search.yahoo.com" (my preferred search engine). And doesn't offer me a way to stop this. I presume this is what's causing the problem, but again I'm not positive.
The only workaround is to go to Yahoo and re-do the search on the site instead of up above, which means that cute combined address bar/ search bar is now useless for exact searches (with the quotation marks).
Is this Apple trying to protect me from myself?
Can I tell Safari to relax about it and get it to go back to working properly?
Or is this a bug? A new "feature" I don't understand? Something else entirely?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

When ever i type into a search bar or box of any kind now it turns blue, and with a few websites that makes it so i can not see what i'm typing, what is the problem?

Like i stated i'm having a problem with every time i type into a search bar or box of any kind including log ins and such the box turns blue, and in many cases makes it so i can not read what i am typing. Tried same website on IE and they worked fine so i assume it's firefox, is there anything i can do about it

For me, the google search bar turns blue once I've typed in a search term, but then want to click on it again to change or add something. The entire bar turns blue. I can still type, but it's hidden. Then when I click Search, it does bring up my search results and now the terms I've written are showing in the search bar, with no blue.
The only way to get out of it when the blue is there, is to reload the page.

Using search bar in itunes when not connected to internet causes problem

I just upgraded to the newest version of itunes and I haven't had this problem before, but when I use the search bar in itunes to find something in the library (when I'm off line)I get an error report to send. Does the new itunes require being online even to look up something in the library or a playlist?

I'm getting a similar problem, not the exact error message, but one telling me I need to connect to the internet to buy itunes, when I am connected, so I'll be interested in the answer to your question too

I installed ios7 last week. The Safari screen is blank, and nothing works in the Search bar. Problems with facetime the previous day, but that is solved. What's up with Safari?

I installed ios7 on the iPad last week. Problems with factime, but solved with online support. Now the Safari screen is blank, and nothing works in the Search bar. What's up with that? All other Internet uses are working.

Hi, a too full hard drive can really mess things up.
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, , try to clear at least 10 GB of space & empty the trash, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

My search bar in google now turns blue and I can not see what I am typing. Why? I read somewhere it's a problem with Firefox. Is there a fix for this?

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but one day my Google search bar turned blue when I tried typing in it. I couldn't see what I was typing. I did some research and some forums said it was a problem with Firefox. Have you heard of this? Is there a solution for it?
Thank you for your help.

My "search" bar is not responding. It's a new problem, since I uploaded the most recent version of Firefox.

Recently downloaded the most recent version of Firefox. I then attempted to use the "search" function. I can type the subject into the search bar space, but when "search" is clicked, there's no response.
Thanks!
Don

Thanks, folks! The "reset" fixed the problem.

If you originally installed Rapport, then trashing the application did not completely remove it. Follow the developers instructions here.
Downloading anything from Softsonic will more than likely result in the installation of unwanted adware. Normally you will be alerted to that fact, but lots of users miss it. My recommendation is to avoid downloading anything from them, but if you must be sure to pay close attention to what the installer is telling you.

Hi, after further searching I found this article:

This information helped me and I did set the sync on my Mac.
i Hope this will help someone else as this is definitely a question other 'i' device users are asking.

The problem of the icons under the search bar

After upgraded to Yosemite, every time I search something on the search bar of safari , a group of icons still remain there after I pressed the 'Enter', how can I remove it?

Could you explain the overall affect you are going for? Perhaps if we knew what you were trying to achieve we could offer potential solutions that don't involve using a Timer or perhaps a differnt way to use the Timer.
Craig...No.
In different tasks, different purpose of timer. Can I use the timer without jumps?

Problems with search bar since upgrading to 4.0

We run two applications that worked flawflessly under 3.2 but have some issues now we have upgraded to APEX 4.0. The first application was built using a slightly altered (colors only) theme provided with APEX 3.2 (don't know its original name since we copied it under another one but it was the orange/grey one). Since upgrading the finder dropdown menu doesn't show anymore. Or rather, a tiny fraction of it is visible, only the top 2 mm or so, exactly the part that falls within the confinements of the search bar. Also the ascending/descending images don't show (although I am not quite sure that they did before the update).
Our second application was built using a third party theme and has -since the upgrade- some additional issues: the finder dropdown menu doesn't appear at all (not even a tiny bit) and the symbols for toggling between report and chart appear but don't work. We tried switching it to one of the themes that come with APEX 4.0 and after that everything worked fine. Alas, a theme switch is no option for the production versions.
Suggestions, anyone?
Robert (still struggling to change my handle).

How to type a URL if Google search bar removed for privacy

Because it appears that in Safari it is impossible to remove the Google Search Bar that's off to the right at the top without also removing the now connected URL Location bar to its left, I removed both. I had noticed that when I did this in Camino, I could still go to a web page by clicking Command L for Open Location (found in the File dropdown menu of most browsers).
But in Safari just now, when I remove the Google search bar that Apple has hard coded to be inseparable from the Location bar to its left, I find I cannot use the File / Open Location command (which I mentioned is Command key - L) and therefore -- is my browser useless if I do not want to document my travels on the world wide web with Google's databases by having the Search Bar up?
In other words is it not possible to enter a URL into Safari in a blank and open the URL Location if you remove the Google Search Bar?
Is the only way to get to a webpage after removing that item to use one's old bookmarks to get to a page?
Or is this a bug and is my "Command key - L" (Open Location command) supposed to be working? I also started to test this with Firefox but it appears my Firefox browser does not have this problem so my Open Location bar remains even if I remove a search bar and the removable search bar it does have is not tied to google in particular, I don't think, in Firefox even if I remove the search bar though I never use a search bar anyway because I don't care to go to any search engine unless I type their URL into my Location bar personally. That's just my preference because I don't trust having third party search bars forced into the browser design.
Is this really true as it appears that there's no way to open a Location in Safari without having the annoying Search Bar up? Is Open Location disabled without the Google Search bar?
If so, it looks like that, of my several browsers, the only one that won't allow me to Open Location (go to a webpage that I type into a Location bar) if I remove the Google Search bar is Safari. I am finding I can successfully extricate myself from Google search if I use Opera, Camino, and Firefox and select Remove after right clicking on the search bar.
Why would the industry be trying to force this Google data mining and surf habits info collection on people? Evidently because Apple would rather take the money from google for forcing google into our browser than protect its customers privacy? I hope this disease does not spread to the other browsers left for me to use. What a monopoly google is building. Too bad antitrust litigation is dead.
(If this is true, this is depressing to me because I had set Safari to be my primary browser. But it seems the least secure browser anyway (compared to using NoScript with Firefox) so I guess I'll have to avoid using it (except on those few pages that won't work without it) until Apple starts taking people's privacy a little more seriously instead of sneaking in more and more features that force us into an unholy logging relationship with Big Brother Google. And I'm disappointed in this development also because I used to like Google before I realized its lawyers were so dedicated to writing privacy policies that are as vague as possible and as unprotective of privacy as possible. I would like to use Google more if they would just stop taking 100 miles when a person gives an inch by using their search engine. I get nervous any time I have to use anything connected with them as things stand and I really wish that would improve and that google will improve its privacy policies rather than finding new ways to log every movement a person makes on the Web.)

The question posed in this thread was:
How do I type a URL such as "www.apple.com" etc. into a blank in SAFARI to go to the URL if I remove the Google search bar?
I cannot seem to get Open Location (Command - L) to function if I remove the Google search bar. Removing the Google Search Bar seems to also remove the location bar to type into. This is not the case in Opera, Camino, or Firefox, so I am wondering if my Safari is just corrupted. If the only way to have the option of Open Location (Command L) is to put the Google Search bar back in, which means the two are connected, does that mean that Google is able to record all url's typed in the Location bar even if you don't use the Search bar? I believe the story used to be that any time you type a url into a google search engine, google records your IP and search; so I'm wondering if Apple has now set up the Location bar in Safari in a deal with Google to let Google track every URL you type into the location bar if it is the case that the Location bar is inseparable from Google Search.

After updating to FireFox 16.0.1 in Windows, the address bar stopped working, as well as the search bar, though not immediately. Reinstall didn't fix it.

Initially I downloaded an AOL-optimized version, but when the problems came up I reinstalled the regular version and it was fine. Two days ago it randomly started again. Address bar won't go anywhere with enter or pressing the arrow button, and the search bar has no search engine. Trying add a search engine by clicking "manage search engines" doesn't help; the "add search enginges" button is unresponsive and there are none in the list to choose from. I uninstalled everything including my customizations and personal settings and reinstalled, which still didn't help. I tried disabling all the plugins and that didn't work either. I even tried searching from the FireFox home page search, since at that point it was the only page I could get to, and even that wouldn't search. The most recent add-on I downloaded was the Evernote Web Clipper I think, but it didn't seem to coincide with the start of the problems.
Update: I ran a malware program (MalWareBytes) and it came up with nothing. I also got back into FireFox to get the Troubleshooting Information and added it in. In addition, here's my complete plugin/extension list:

Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.530

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default
