Sidebar missing in Safari?

Hello
Is it possible in Safari to have the Bookmark Collections Window open next to the Browser Window, I think of a Sidebare like in Firefox?
Thanks for your answers.
Simon

Hi Simon
Welcome to Apple Discussions
There is no sidebar for Safari for Bookmarks similiar to Firefox. With Safari 3.0 on the way (OS X Leopard debut),you may want to send feedback to Apple about incorporating such a feature into Safari.

  • Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.

    Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.  I have Safari 5.0.6 and Mac OS X 10.5.8.

    I just noticed that it won't play some newsite videos anymore either. What plug in do I need to update (if that's the problem)?

  • Traffic lights are missing on Safari

    Traffic lights are missing on Safari. Please help.

    To regain your 'traffic lights' go to top of screen and minimise, then drag the screen to the required size.  Every time I maximised the lights disappeared, but when I minimised it they showed up.  I eventually caught on and then dragged the minimised screen to the required size, Easy when you know how!!

    What kind of video are you trying to play (got a example link)?
    Youtube flash video? You would need the Adobe flash plugin.
    Windows media player?  You could install Flip4Mac so .wmv files play in quicktime.
    Some other video format?  Perhaps installing Perian could help with that.

  • WHAT IS MISSING FROM SAFARI !

    I just installed Safari. While I like its interface, I see there are some important, I mean absolutely necessary features missing from Safari. Without them, it won't ever compete with established browsers like Opera.
    1. When exiting, Safari should give the option to remember current tabs (websites). I can't stretch enough how important is this. Opera was the pioneer of this feature, it took many years to Firefox developers to decide that was necessary to add it and they finally did. What about Safari?
    2. Give people the **** "new tab" button as default!!! Is this so hard for safari developers to think that a new tab button is absolutely necessary??? This is not optional! A new user has to spend time to figure out that he should dig deep into settings just to add that absolutely necessary button!!!
    I don't like hitting combinations of keys just to open a new tab. That's not a complicated interface like a 3D graphic environment where your right hand is always busy -it's just a browser!
    And the icon is poorly designed -it should be replaced with a better one.
    BTW, what's that "Display a menu for the current page" title??? Couldn't they think of a proper one?
    I'll post more as I'll be using Safari more.

    Although it doesn't look like it is set up for the purpose, you can make feature enhancement requests directly to Apple via the "Help > Report Bugs to Apple":

  • Menu Bar Items Missing after Safari 3.1 update

    Installed Safari 3.1 and restarted; menu bar items Time, Date, and Volume icon are now missing, and Safari 3.1 and Mail crash on launch. Trashed com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and restarted--no difference.
    Tried reinstalling the 10.4.11 PPC update and Safari 3.0.4 and Mail now work, but menu bar icons still missing. System Preferences for these items stick, but nothing appears in menu bar. This seems to be a recurring issue with Mac OS X, but Apple isn't helping people by telling them how to fix it, or changing their updates so it doesn't happen to begin with.
    Ideas or suggestions to fix this are appreciated.

    What are permissions?
    Every file and folder on a Mac OS X hard drive has a set of permissions—settings that determine which user(s) have access to each item, and exactly what that access is. For example, permissions dictate whether or not a particular user can open and edit a particular file. But permissions also determine which items the operating system—or specific parts of it—can access and modify, and which files are accessible by applications.
    What does repairing permissions do?
    The Repair Disk Permissions function—the process that actually performs the task of repairing permissions—examines certain files and folders on your Mac’s hard drive to see if their current permissions settings are what Mac OS X expects them to be; if discrepancies are found, the offending permissions are changed to match the expected settings.
    (In Mac OS X 10.3 and later, repairing permissions also performs one other, unrelated, task: If the invisible /tmp symbolic link—which is linked to the /private/tmp directory—is missing, the link will be recreated.)
    Why is it necessary to repair permissions?
    If permissions on particular files are “incorrect”—i.e., not what Mac OS X expects them to be or not what they need to be for your Mac’s normal operation—you can experience problems when the operating system tries to access or modify those files. For example, you may have trouble logging in to your account, printing, launching applications, or even starting up your Mac. Similarly, if an application—from Apple or a third-party developer—needs access to a particular file or folder to function, and the permissions on that item have changed in a way that prevents such access, the application may not function properly (or at all). The Repair Disk Permissions function can fix such problems by ensuring that certain files have the correct permissions.
    There’s also a security element here: Many system-level files have permissions set a particular way so that applications or users that shouldn’t be meddling with those files can’t. If the permissions on certain system-level files somehow get changed so that access to those files is no longer restricted, you’ve got the potential for a major security issue. Repairing permissions can resolve such issues by resetting permissions on those files to prevent unauthorized access.
    How do I repair permissions?
    The Repair Disk Permissions function is part of Apple’s Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). After launching Disk Utility, select the desired disk—generally your startup disk—in the list to the left, then click the First Aid tab. At the bottom of the First Aid panel, click the Repair Disk Permissions button. (You could instead use the Verify Disk Permissions option to preview any potential repairs before performing them, but for most users there’s little benefit from this extra step.)
    Permissions can also be repaired via the shell (Terminal) by using the command sudo diskutil repairPermissions /. However, it’s unlikely that the typical user will ever need to perform the task in this manner. It’s useful if for some reason Disk Utility itself won’t launch, or for repairing permissions on a remote Mac when connected via Remote Login (SSH), but otherwise you’re just as well served using Disk Utility.
    How does the Repair Disk Permissions function know what the “correct” permissions are?
    When you use Apple’s Installer utility to install software (such as Mac OS X itself or an OS X update), the installation package (the .pkg file you double-click to begin installation, or that Software Update downloads in the background for an automatic installation) generally leaves behind a receipt—a smaller Mac OS X package that includes information about every file installed, including the permissions each file should have. This receipt is placed in /Library/Receipts. When you run the Repair Disk Permissions function, it examines the receipts in the /Library/Receipts directory of the disk being repaired—which means the feature works only on volumes with Mac OS X installed—and compares the information in the receipt with the actual files on your drive. If the Repair Disk Permissions function finds a file with permissions that differ from what a receipt claims they should be, that file’s permissions are reset to their receipt-specified values. (If you’re curious about the information contained in a receipt, the easiest way to view it is to use the utility Pacifist; simply drag and drop the appropriate receipt into the Pacifist window and you’ll be presented with a list of all files installed by the similarly-named installation package, along with each file’s original permissions.)
    It’s worth noting here that although the function is called “Repair Disk Permissions,” what is actually happening is that files’ permissions are being reset or restored to a particular state. It’s possible—though not common—for a particular file’s permissions to differ from what a receipt claims they should be without those permissions actually being “broken.”
    Are all files affected by Repair Disk Permissions?
    No. As you may have inferred from the above description, only those files installed using OS X’s Installer utility and whose installation packages leave behind a proper receipt in /Library/Receipts are affected by the Repair Disk Permissions function. This means that most of the files affected by the Repair Disk Permissions function are system-level files, application files, or system add-ons—not applications installed by drag-and-drop, and not your documents or other user-level files.
    If repairing permissions is useful in general, why doesn’t Apple recommend it as routine maintenance?
    Apple does, quite explicitly:
    It’s a good idea to repair disk permissions as a regular maintenance task after upgrading or installing new software.
    That’s taken from Mac Help—in both Panther and Tiger—right on your Mac. Similar statements can be found in other Support articles, one of which is:

  • When I open a link a new window opens with the toolbar and sidebar missing, on my previous machine the link simply opened in a new tab (not window).

    When I open a link in Firefox instead of opening a new tab it opens in a new window with all of the toolbars missing including the sidebar, right clicking anywhere gives me no options to restore the toolbars. My old machine simply opened the same link that I am trying in a new tab with all my toolbars available.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Scroll Bar missing on Safari web pages and unfamiliar screen saver image

    I recently upgraded my OS X from Panther to Tiger v. 10.4.11 and upgraded to Safari 3.1.2. Now the scroll bar down the right side is missing from the open web page in Safari. Where did it go and how do I get it back?
    Also, unfamiliar images appear, something like a screen saver when I leave my computer for a
    few minutes without putting it to sleep or shutting it down. It's a black/white/gray portrait of
    a woman and as the picture moves around the screen, the image magnifies. I have no idea
    where this image came from nor how to get rid of it. Any ideas?

    Hi Busy1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

    The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
    Repair Permissions after re-install, then reboot again.
    If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

    Might try this for Scroll Bars...

  • Quicktime plug-in missing in Safari, works fine in Firefox

    Lion is working fine on my 2008 iMac - except - I can't play QuickTime movies. It tells me there is a plug-in missing.  This only happens with Safari. When I view the same site in Firefox, the QuickTime files play fine. 
    What's going on here?

    I found this answer on another thread, which may help - it fixed it for me:
    Fixed the problem by going into Safari preferences, Extensions, and turned off the extensions for DivX... a temp fix, but will do for now!

  • Web page content missing in Safari

    When viewing a web page in Safari several drop down links are missing. (As compared to viewing in Explorer).  How do I get them to appear in Safari as they are crucial to the navigation of the site?

    I agree.  Looks like Safari doesn't work here.  You can report this to Apple via the Safari > Report Bugs to Apple menu item.
    I tested this page with Firefox and it works properly.

  • How do you prevent sidebar opening in Safari 7.0?

    I have just installed Mavericks with the upgraded Safari 7.0.  Now everytime I open a new tab, the sidebar opens.  I would likel to turn this off so that opening the sidebar is something I choose to do only if needed.  Clicking "Hide Sidebar" in View only acts in respect of the tab which is already open.  I could not find an option for turning this feature off in Safari/Preferences.  Is it possible to make this change or is this a new and unwanted feature that I am going to have to live with?

    I think you will have to live with it - athough you can also show/hide it by clicking the 'bookmarks' icon at the left end of the favorites/bookmarks bar.
    It should show per-window, and can be closed in one window without affecting others. It will be the same in any tab within one window. A new window seems to show/hide it based on the last one viewed.
