When I press the down arrow on the right side of my location bar and history is displayed, how can I get it to display history from most recently accessed site on down?

When I click the down arrow on the right side of the location bar (without having typed a full or partial URL in, I am just clicking the down arrow) a history dropdown is displayed which shows 12 website URLs that I have visited, but there does not appear to be any rhyme or reason as to what is being displayed. How can I cause this dropdown to display sites visited from the most recently accessed on down? And how can I cause more than 12 URLs to be listed in this dropdown? Why I can't I scroll down through my entire history in chronological order from most recently accessed site?

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

Everytime I click on the down arrow on the firefox button firefox fills my monitor screen. How do I stop this as it did not happen in the past

Had to uninstall and reinstall firefox several times as something was trying to take it over. The only way I stopped it in the end was to go back to a restore point on my computer. Anyway, before I had this problem I had firefox leave a border down the right side of my screen. Now it is okay when I start firefox, border in place, but as soon as I click the down arrow on the firefox button for anything firefox covers the whole screen. How can I stop this?

Google search does not work. It does not bring back any results and disables my internet connection until I close the brower, wait, and then open it again.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How do I clear out the list of choices from the down arrow in the navigation? Can't find anything that tells one how to empty it

When you add a new tab, one can go to the navigation bar and click on the down arrow and get a choice of previous sites. I want to EMPTY that list. I cant out how to do it.

Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks. 
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar. 
This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.

The down arrow of the msctls_updown32 control can fail to display under certain conditions using certain Windows Desktop themes

I have a very odd issue with the msctls_updow32 control. Depending on the type of window or window heirarchy, when I click the up arrow with the autobuddy being an edit control, the down arrow disappears off the down button. I have to move the mouse back
over the down button to get it to display. At first I figured it was something in my OnCtlColor code. But I found that the updown control is never passed to OnCtlColor. I get the window class of each input and it never shows up. Nor does it's window handle
get passed in. Turning off OnCtlColor code and going default doesn't help. What I have found that helps is to turn off WIndows 7 Aero desktop and turn on Windows Classic desktop (Windows 7 Basic has the issue too). I also found that applying a skin to my app
avoids the issue. Using spy I finally found what appears to be a connection to EM_SETSEL. When that message is sent and processed, the arrow has disappeared. I finally gave up and created my own subclass of a CEdit control (MFC) and called SubclassDlgItem.
Then I implemented WindowProc and trapped the EM_SETSEL. Then I had to call UpdateWindow on the spin control and finally get the rectangle of the edit (buddy) and spin control and use that in a call to the parent (dialog) window's RedrawWindow.
So there appears to be an issue with the updown control paired with an edit control that shows up depending on what desktop theme I am using. And to top it off, the window heirarchy seems to matter too (or perhaps the styles of the parent make a difference
as I found the issue doesn't show up on every window that may contain such a configuration). Consider this a heads up regarding the issue! One other note, changing to any of the "High contrast" Windows 7 desktops also avoids the issue. So Aero and
Basic seem to be the key.

Fails on Win 8.1 too. As with Win 7, changing the desktop display to one of the high contrast ones avoids the problem. My work-around is below. I have a video showing the problem. It also shows the display being changed to high contrast and how the problem
goes away. If only I could figure out how to use this web page to upload the zip file containing the video ...
LRESULT Myedit::WindowProc( UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
LRESULT lr = CEdit::WindowProc( message, wParam, lParam );
if( message == EM_SETSEL )
CDialog* pParent = (CDialog*) GetParent();
if( pParent )
CSpinButtonCtrl* pSpin = (CSpinButtonCtrl*)pParent->GetDlgItem(IDC_SMALL_PARTS_SPIN);
if (pSpin)
CRect rectSpin;
pSpin->GetWindowRect( &rectSpin );
CRect rectEdit;
GetWindowRect( &rectEdit );
CRect both;
both.UnionRect( &rectSpin, &rectEdit );
pParent->ScreenToClient( &both );
//pParent->InvalidateRect( &both );
//pParent->Invalidate();
//pSpin->Invalidate();
pSpin->UpdateWindow();// skip this and the problem remains.
pParent->RedrawWindow(&both);// skip this and the problem remains.
return lr;

What does the down arrow at the end of the location bar do

Cannot find a description of this item in the help info

Depending on the settings you have for [[Location bar autocomplete#Controlling behavior|location bar suggest settings]], it will display a list of sites based on an algorithm that analyzes how often you visit a site and how recently the site was visited. After using Firefox for a while this should be a list of regularly visited sites.

Web search box not working

I have the latest version of Firefox for my MacBook Pro. It was working fine up until a couple months ago. I've always used the web search box as a quick way to find what I was looking for. Now, if I type in anything in the web search box (far right side of navigation menu bar) and hit return, nothing happens. I click on the spyglass and nothing happens. I have to open Google's homepage and do the search there. Anyone know why this suddenly stopped working and/or how to get it functioning again?
I've tried re-installing Firefox and resetting the default settings on the navigation bar.

Possible Solution to Google Search Bar Not Working/Safari Not Loading Pages

Hello Apple Forums,
I have recently encountered a possible solution to a problem with Safari. The one in which Safari fails to load any page associated with www.google.com. Especially the Google Search Bar—a feature I use frequently.
After browsing through the forums about the Google Search Bar issue, I took my knewly gained knowledge, and decided to do some diagnosing for myself.
This is what I have done so far to try and solve this issue:
Run Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Cron Scripts
Cleared the following caches:
System Local Computer Cache
System VM (Swap) Files
Curent User Cache
Current User Icon Cache
Internet Explorer Download Cache
Page History
Web Site Cache
Temporary Files
Safari Downloads List
Form Values
Page History
Recent Searches
Site Icons
Web Site Cache
User Cookies (used by Safari)
Finder Recent Applications
Recent Documents
Recent Folders
Recent Servers
Recent Files of AppleWorks 6
Disk Utility Disk Images
Preview
QuickTime Player Favorites/Recent
REALbasic Projects
TextEdit
VideoLanClient
and Other caches of Acquisition Current Downloads
Acquisition Recent Searches
MSN Conversation History
Vicomsoft FTP Client Icon Cache
All of the above runnings of Cron scripts and clearings of Caches were done using Mac Pilot version 1.1.5 (yes the one on the site is an updated version, but I have not downloaded it yet). If you decide to use this program to clear caches, I advise not clearing the Installer Receipts under the System section as Installer Receipts are used to correctly repair permissions. I do not clear Find File Indexes either, because I use the Find File feature quite frequently on my computer and I do not want to have it re-index files all the time (perhaps I'll do it every few months or so to refresh what I've got on the harddrive). Remember, all the information given in this paragraph is relative to Mac Pilot version 1.1.5.
In addition, I have also repaired permissions using Disk Utility 10.4.4 (v145.7) (make sure you restart your computer after you repair permissions). I have taken out items in /harddrive/library/StartUpItems as well as taking out items in /harddrive/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in /user/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in user/library/Caches (restart your computer after taking out or putting in items in these locations).
As of now, all the information mentioned above about trying to fix this problem have NOT worked.
What HAS WORKED for me was tinkering with my 3rd party firewall—Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). Under the Protection Settings, I HAD Enable Active FTB support, Enable Stealth mode, Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected), Enable UDP Protection (with Protect outgoing UDP connections, Allow access to essential services, and Protect a range of UDP ports 1 through 1023 selected).
What I CHANGED in Protection Settings was DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Upon deselecting that information the Google Search Bar feature in Safari WORKED practically instantaneously. Before hand, anything I inputted into Safari and after hitting Return on the keyboard just wound up hanging there.
Just to be sure, all tests were performed on:
IMac G4 800 Mhz SD Mac OSX 10.3.9 with ALL the latest Software Updates, Except Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 and iPod Updater 2006-01-10
I have a cable internet connection with ISP Time Warner Cable (RoadRunner) using a SurfBoard SB4100 Cable Modem on an AirPort Extreme Base Station (Apple Base Station V5.6)
Interesting side note: I have a PowerBook G4 15" 1 Ghz Mac OSX 10.3.9 Laptop running on the same network (although it has an airport extreme card as opposed to the regular airport card in the iMac) with ALL the same latest Software Updates, Except iPod Updater 2006-01-10. The Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 does not come up on Software Update on the Laptop and I can not find it on the harddrive using a name search in the Finder Find feature. It does not show up in Applications folder, so I do not know if it is on or active on the Laptop.
The LAPTOP IS ABLE TO USE ALL GOOGLE FEATURES without DESELECTING Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Why this is apparent I have not officially confirmed.
What I do know is that I have tried to Uninstall Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) with the appropriate uninstaller but it FAILS during the uninstall (I wanted to uninstall and reinstall, it appears the program became corrupted). What I did to possibly circumvent this was to search for the phrase 'Personal Fire" using the Finder's Find feature (Search for items whose name contains 'Personal Fire') and deleted all the files that came up related to Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). I then reinstalled Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) since then, and it continues to have the problem with Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected).
What I have not done:
Updated Prebinding
Run TechTool Pro version 4.1.2
Install Combo OSX 10.3.9
Initialize HardDrive with complete reinstallation of OSX 10.3.9
To Summarize Possible Solution
I've tried many possible solutions, what appears to work best as of now is to DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (making sure Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic are deselected) under Protection Settings in Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48).
One could try deselecting something similar in any firewall application other than Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48), to see if it is suspicious activity settings in firewalls that cause the problem.
Any comments/feedbacks are extremely welcome.
Hope It Helps!

Hello tr:
Welcome to Apple discussions and thank you for your very very thorough post.
Your instincts to delete anything named "Norton" were right on the mark. Norton software is POISON to Macs running OS X. An additional software firewall is, IMHO, completely unnecessary. Turn on the built-in firewall in OS X - it is robust. In fact, if it is already on, there may be a conflict.
Go to Symantec's web site and use the uninstaller you should find there to get rid of the Norton stuff. After you do that, do a "find" on Norton and Symantec to be sure it is all gone - the stuff hides everywhere.

Search box not working in Web site

Anybody knows why the search box at the following address is not working? Type any word in there, even if it is contained several times in the blog, and you will get no result.
http://tinyurl.com/6s4gcr
I have been trying for months to get an answer from Apple, without success. The MobileMe people say it is an iWeb problem. And the iWeb people say it is a MobileMe problem.
The problem was there with iWeb 2 and is still there with iWeb 3.
And please do not tell me to republish entirely the site. It has been done already several times, including on a MobileMe test server.

Google search does not work:

When i use the google search toolbar in Safari, or try and go to Google's website I get the message "Safari can't connect to the server". I have tried everything, even installing Firefox but I get the same issue. If I however connect my other laptop to the same network I dont have any issues with Google. Any ideas?

I have de same problem since 2 weeks ago. Cannot search google and cannot enter Gmail site.
The message is the same;"Safari can't connect to the server".
I use normally Safari, but the same occurs with Firefox.
Another Windows PC has no problem using the same router and network-
Hey Steve Job, can you fix this problem !!!! It´s increible, the beste notebook ..... and this problems !!!!!

Google search does not work from comcast home page

When I try to do a google search from the comcast home page, I keep getting a timeout error. However, google searches work everywhere, but the comcast home page.

Then as i mentioned in one of previous reply, ask about this problem from the Comcast Techincal Support. They will know what's changed on their website.
OR for further testing, Create a New Profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
-> [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile|Basic Troubleshooting - Make a New Profile]]
-> Set Comcast's website as your homepage in the New Profile.
IF that New Profile works then you can recover your Bookmarks and Passwords from the Old Profile.
-> [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
Check and tell if its working.

What is the cloud with the down arrow in the middle?

What is the cloud with the arrow?

Hey mate,
If it is next to apps, movies, tv shows, songs, apps you have previously purchased or downloaded, it means you can download it directly to your device without having to purchase it (again).
By the sounds of it, if activate the icon and it cycles for a few moments then stops again, it means you may be trying to download something too large to download over a mobile network. Usually there should be an alert saying "this file needs to be downloaded over wi-fi", but this is not always the case. I suggest you locate a wireless network and try again.

After updating firefox ,Google search does not work

What is the box with the down arrow in email.

What is the box with the down arrow in the email. it is at the top near the reply arrow.

OKAY....are you guys ready for the answer to this question: "What is the box with down arrow in it in my iPad email?".
This drove me nuts but I stuck with until I figured it out.
When you open a message in iPad, sometimes you'll see a box with a down arrow. Touch it...and your email disappears!!!
Where does it go?
Lay down your iPad and go to your computer...you CANNOT access the Archive folder from your iPad!
1) Go check your gmail account from your computer. When you click on a message, look in the top row of 'choices' in what to do with that emai: back to inbox, ARCHIVE(a box with a down arrow), report spam, delete, move to, labels, and more are your choices.
2) now look in the left hand column and you'll see: Inbox, starred, Important, Sent Mail, Drafts, Notes, Personal, Travel...now mouse over Travel (or whatever your last item is in the column) and "More" will appear.
3) Click on 'More' and "All Mail" will appear.
4) Click on "All Mail" and voila!!! All of those messages that have been disappearing from your iPad are found there.
5) NOW FINALLY, you can click on each message in the "All Mail" folder and you have the option to move them to any folder you wish.
6) UNDERSTAND THIS: You CANNOT access the 'All Mail' folder from your iPad...you MUST use your computer.
Hope that helps all of you who were as frustrated as me.
Ya think Apple would write something about this somewhere!!
