SORT option for Safari

Newbie on a Mac. If it is common knowledge that safari will not sort bookmarks as all other browsers can. Why has there not been an update to such a basic need? I have read several post from different sites providing multiple answers and yet the most productive one seems to be make this option (basic function) available to a community that has been loyal to a product (Mac) that many thought would never reach it's current global position.
Just a question from a new Mac user (2008) that had been a PC user since the early 90's.

This is a user-to-user forum; no one here can answer this question. It's really more of a rhetorical question (or complaint) anyway, isn't it?
The only people who could answer your question as to why this feature hasn't been added to Safari would be Safari's developers, and they had nondisclosure agreements that prevent them from discussing this kind of subject.
If what you really want to do is ask for this feature, your best bet is Apple's Mac OS X feedback form.

Sorting options for SLCM

In SLCM we use mixed case for names and addresses. When we do a name search or a sort within a report...the sort takes into count upper/lower case characters.
Example...a sort on L* would show these students listed as...
LaRochelle, Michelle Marie
Laplaunt, Joseph Gregory
We would rather the sorting for search lists or when used for program output to use the American Standard of sorting which would not take count of the upper case characters.
The above example would then be listed as...
Laplaunt, Joseph Gregory
LaRochelle, Michelle Marie
I have searched the IMG and do not see a place to configure this.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Mike

Thanks PK...
I ended up filing a OSS note along with this. They are going to check with their basis team for when this occurs in master data or student file doing a name search. I will update when they get back to me.
In regards to sorting in reports, SAP suggested using the "AS TEXT" along with the SORT command. We did try this, but it didn't do anything different on our system. We saw in their documentation the same idea you suggested. So we will probably use that option for reporting.
Thanks for your help!

Sorting options for movie collection on Apple TV (Gen 3)

Hello,
I am wondering if there are any options for sorting my movie collection other than alphabetical? It would be really nice if I could sort by "Recently Added" so it would be easy to browse through my newest movies, but I'm not sure this is possible.
Thanks

We don't have access to Sky news here but I believe that one has the ability to play the live feed.

How can i change sort options for a playlist in ios8? I would like to sort by album, or album artist like I can in iTunes for OSX.

So here's an example of why I would like to figure this out. I have a playlist on my iPhone that contains only new music. I would like to be able to sort this playlist by artist, so that when i click on the playlist, I can quickly find the album I have added to the playlist and play it. Currently, I can only see a long list of tracks. How do you sort playlists?
Thanks!

I just found the solution to this myself.
In a very un-Apple way, this is an undocumented feature only accessible by right- (or control-) clicking.
1. Change one track to your desired sort settings (for instance, set the Sort Artist to Yankovic, Weird Al.
2. Right-click on that track. In the contextual menu that appears, there is a new submenu called "Apply Sort Field." If you choose "Same Artist," it will apply your new sorting information to all your other tracks by "Weird Al" Yankovic (or, if you are not a huge nerd, any other artist you substitute).

Is there a way you can select a display option for Safari pages on the OS5?

The tabbed version of Safari for the ipad2 is nice but the old one is better. Is there a way we can select a display option that lets a user toggle between the two?

No, Safari on the iPad in iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

OSX Lion I do not have full screen option for Safari for any user accounts

In my iMac I have three user accounts plus the guest account. For all accounts exept the guest account Safari do not show the full screen icon or give the option from the menu. Does some one have the same problem and does someone know how to get this feature. PS! I have upgraded to LION!

It's pretty simple to create your own Full Screen keyboard shortcut. Here is what I did and it works perfectly:
1. System Preferences
2. Keyboard
3. Keyboard Shortcuts tab
4. Application Shortcuts
5. Click + symbol at bottom or right box and select All Applications
6. Set Menu Title for Enter Full Screen & Set Keyboard Shortcut for Control + Command + F click Add
7. Repeat Step 5
8. Set Menu Title for Exit Full Screen & Set Keyboard Shortcut for Control + Command + F click Add
9. Exit System Preferences and use the new keyboard shortcuts on all apps that have Full Screen capabilities.

I would like to see a "user order" sort option for Smart Collections

I use LR to set up Collections to use for web output and typically use key wording to organize which photos will be included in any web gallery. Right now I have to make that into a regular collection so I can rearrange the collection to appear the way I want to present things. I would prefer to be able to utilize Smart Collections so any photos I want to add will be included automatically when I set up the proper keywords. New additions should be at the end of the current order and the user should be able to move that around in the presentation order as desired.

I absolutely agree. I used a similar function in Aperature all the time. It was the main reason I originally chose Aperature over LightRoom till Lightroom came out with the latest edition that included Smart Collections, and was I disappointed to find that it wasn't as powerful as Aperature's Smart Folders options.
Both programs have their strengths and their weaknesses... and this time around I think Lightroom has the advantage, but Aperature still wins on Smart Collections customization ability and power.

I don't understand how to disable some of the options for Safari 4...

It seems that like a lot of other people here, I'm not that fond about some of the features introduced in the new Safari version; namely, the addition of the Top Sites portion, the removal of the blue loading bar, the relocation of the Refresh button, and other bits. While searching for a way to remedy these problems, I found another user here who had put a link to the following website:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20090225234804752
Apparently, all I have to do is enter certain commands into the Terminal. But, the description is agonizingly vague, and when I try to just copy-paste and hit Enter, Safari remains completely unchanged. I got a Mac for the ease of use, since I'm pretty bad at figuring out the programming and coding stuff... which is why I'm having trouble here. Is there an easy to follow, step-by-step solution here?
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Those terminal commands no longer work in Safari 4. Coding has changed from Safari 4 Beta.
In Safari 4 Beta, the easiest way to change the look of Safari was via a 3rd party item called Tweaks. I understand the developer intends to release an upgrade to Tweaks in the near future. There's really no telling yet what is changeable. However, the developer will be one of the first to know. Stay tuned....

Solution (sort of) for Safari hangs/failure to load

I and several others have been experiencing frequent hangs (or failure to load) with Safari 5.0.2 and 5.0.3 under OS X 10.6.5 and 10.6.6. Out of about 100 page loads, these hangs occur about twice. All pages stop loading and the progress bar stops at "http://www." It's not a full crash -- you can still switch between tabs and use the menu -- but no pages or page items will load.
After much helpful back and forth with Apple tech support and other affected individuals, we seem no closer to finding the cause of these hangs, but I have discovered a "sort of solution". When the hang occurs, if you have another tab that has already fully loaded, go to that tab and choose Save as... from Safari's File menu, then Cancel. That will free Safari which will resume normal operations. (If you don't have another tab already loaded, you can usually switch to any other app and choose Save or Save as..., then Cancel.)
No idea why this works, but it does and very consistently.

If anyone knows any better about what I wrote, please let me and everyone else in this forum know.

Command line options for Safari

I have a script that opens a Safari window by doing essentially the following:
open -a safari http://www.apple.com
According to the man page for open, I can add more args to this that would get picked up by Safari, as follows. Of course the man page for open can't indicate what such args might be or even if Safari pays any attention to them:
open -a safari http://www.apple.com --args arg1 arg2 ...
Are there any such args one can usefully pass to Safari in this way? Specifically, I'd like the command to be able to control the size of the window that is opened, perhaps as follows:
open -a safari http://www.apple.com --args h=300 w=400
Thanks.

While I'm no Terminal expert, I believe you might be interested in using osascript. You can check its man page by entering *man osascript* at the Terminal prompt. Also, a Google search for osascript should yield some good returns.
In short, entering *osascript -e* at the Terminal prompt, followed by a valid AppleScript command executes the script action. More than one argument can be used at a time by adding another -e, followed by a new AppleScript command.
The example below causes Safari to open apple.com, with the window resized to your specifications. Copy the entire piece of code, paste it at the Terminal prompt, and press Return:
*osascript -e 'tell application "Safari" to open location "http://www.apple.com"' -e 'tell application "Safari" to set bounds of front window to {10, 60, 400, 300}'*
Good luck, hope this helps.

Is there different viewing options for Safari?

I'm new to iPhone. My other smartphone let me view Safari just like the screen looks on my computer. Is there a way for the 4S to allow pictures and stuff like my computer?

Huh? Safari on the iPhone allows "pictues and stuff". Unless you're on a mobile site (which generally would still include pictures), Safari on the iPhone looks pretty much like Safari on the computer.

Sorting options for the "Following" section

I follow artists when I want to remember to check them out. It would be nice if the list was sorted by something. Ideally "date added".

Marked as new idea and edited the title slightly to make it easier to find via search. ;)

Options for Safari Paretal Settings?

Hi All!
I just got a new iPod Touch and my dad decided it would be fun to come into my room in the middle of the night and set up these ridiculous settings on my iPod. He wants to know if there is anyway he can block explicit content on Safari without interfering with the rest of my iPod. Pretty much he wants to be able to block the "naughty" places and such.
Any suggestions so I can have my life back?
Thanks so much.
Tadpole

Sorry but it is all or nothing.
You can block the use of Safari totally or allow full access, there is no ability to block out specific sites or content.
Maybe what you need to do is earn some trust!

Need a way to get downloads option from safari on dock.

I accidentally deleted my downloads option for safari on my dock. It is also no longer in my finder. Is there a way for me to get it back?

Open a Finder window and see if Downloads is in the sidebar. If it is not, go to Finder Preferences and click Sidebar at the top of Preferences window to show it in the sidebar. Once you see it in the sidebar, right-click the Downloads (control - click or 2 finger tap on touchpad) and choose "Add to Dock."
