Trouble with back button in Safari, always resets to top of page.

I am running Safari 6.0.5 on a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.5
The problem that I am having is that every time I use the back button to my previous page it always takes me to the top of my previous page. All of my other Macs running Safari always take me to the point in the page I left from. It is a real headache to always have to search for where I was on my last page. I have gone through every preference I can think of that would be relevant and updated several versions of Safari with no change. This issuse is only on my laptop
Anyone that has had this issue I would appreciate the help.

Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Problem with back button when using task flow to navigate through pages

I am using unbounded task flow to navigate through my pages
in page2 I added back button so I can back to page1 using the action A2
task flow 1
page 1 -----A1-------> page 2
page2 ----A2--------> page1
the problem when I used page2 in another task flow
task flow 2
page 3 -----A3------> page2
page 2 -----A4 -----> page3
here when I click on back button he take me to page1
how can I back to page3 ???????

For this you have to know where the user came from when he navigated to page2. You can e.g. store the back target in a variable in the session or pageflow scope (when the user navigates from page1 or page3 to page2), then you bind the back button of page 2 to the stored variable.

Programming Mighty mouse with back button for Safari

Is there a way to program the mighty mouse so that the squeeze buttons on the side make it go back in Safari. Does it require a script. Are there any ready made scripts for that? (The keyboard command would be command left bracket.
thanks

Try the shareware mouse software, SteerMouse - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple. Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try the back button.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

Can't click back button in Safari on Iphone

I'm not sure at which update this began, but I recently realized I can't use the back button in Safari. It just stays dimmed, when normally once you navigate to a new page it illuminates and then you can use it to go back. This is very annoying. Any suggestions?

I am getting the same icon that you are getting whether I use mobile Safari or iCab Mobile identified as Firefox or even if I identity it as mobile Safari. I wonder if that means perhaps the podcasts was not created correctly. However, I know absolutely nothing about creating a podcast.
You obviously have been doing this successfully up until this point, but by virtue of the fact that I am getting the "No Plugin" icon in both browsers - whether viewing as a desktop browser or a mobile browser, I simply assume that there is a problem with the podcast.
The podcast plays fine in my desktop Safari on my MacBook.
Just so that you know, the preinstalled apps are only updated when the iOS is updated. There are never updates released for Safari, iTunes, the App Store and so on, except for the features that may be added when the iOS is updated.

Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

Hello, Kevandsheila.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when experiencing Home button issues. The article below is labeled for the iPhone, but the steps are the same for your iPad.
The Home button is slow to respond
If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone.
Seek service is the issue is still occurring.
The Home button isn't working
Put the iPhone to sleep.
Wait a couple of seconds.
Press the Home button.
iPhone should wake up.
If iPhone does not wake up, then iPhone should be serviced.
If the issue persists after all the steps have been processed see the last section labeled issue not resolved.

I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.

I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.

I finally figured it out. Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

I somehow deleted my "back" button in Safari. How do I get it back?

Two issues: 1st: I want to know how to take a snapshot of something on my desktop.
2nd: In trying to remember how to take a snapshot I was just pushing buttons, willy-nilly, and somehow deleted my "back" button in Safari. How do I get that back?

It's not on my keyboard (that I know of). It's an arrow on the bar at the top of my safari screen. I'm supposed to be able to click the arrow to either go back to the previous page or go forward to the next page. But I deleted it somehow. And now I don't know how to get it back. I found a solution in someone else's post: Safari, View, Customize Tool Bar. I tried to do that but it doesn't work for me. I dragged the back arrows to my tool bar but they won't stay up there. What do I do now?

No back button in safari

Help! I no longer have a back button in safari (no page forward button either). I only have the + (add bookmark) button to the left of my url bar. All windows in Safari open without the < & > buttons...
Any counsel would be appreciated.

Greetings,
Go to View > Customize Toolbar… and add those buttons back to the menu bar.

Safari back button doesn't always work

The back button on the Safari 3 beta doesn't seem to work on all websites. Does anyone have an explanation or fix for this?

I found the fix. Disabling the MacAfee Site Advisor plug-in fixed it.

Having problem with back button on

The bottom left hand button on the Zen Micro won't seem to work correctly unless it is charged into the power adapter. I've tried the clean up mode but that didn't do anything, is there anything else that I can do other than rebooting it because I would hate to have to go through the whole method of inporting my music back on there cause it takes hours. Please give me any advice you have!
~Michelle

having the same problem at www.dealnews.com
not a problem with previous 3.32 version, but now i can't get back to the previous page without pressing the back button twice quickly.

anyone else have an idea?
thanks!
