TS2570 Not getting a search bar on my start up page since update to 11 on MacBook Pro ,

Ever since I updated my MacBook Pro , my homepage was the apple sore , but now it starts up with apple store and the new iPhones on safari ,but there's no search bar to search for any other site , , then if I go into launch and pich say ....google homepage , when I type in it comes up grey instead of the normal bold black , I'm brand new to macs I've only owned this for 3 months , but I got a free bundle of cult of mac which is called airy and it allows you to download and upload vids from YouTube in just a copy /paste , very good , but now I can't even search when I start up my MacBook , and when I can in google it's grey and dosnt work , telling me to do things techy is useless lol , I have to have it explained like a child or very laymans terms to understand , but I'd be grateful for any help , I though safari was apples own , there shouldn't be these problems from a £2300 brand new machine , and that's only a browser , I'm lost and stuck , thanks , john .

Hello & welcome aboard,
I think you do not have 10.4.11, at the Apple icon at top left, click on it & choose About this Mac, what OSX version is it?
In later Safari the Search bar is gone, but you can type a search in the URL bar, & for reasons unknown to me, any url there will be grayed out on the last part.

How can I get a search bar added when trying to archieve emails in my IPhone's email app?

My IPhone email app is connected to my Outlook email system in which I have many archieved folders, when I want to place an email in my archieved folders on my IPhone I have to scroll a long list of archieved folders to find the right one, how can I get a search bar added to find it easier? My colleague' s Samsung has that function already and can't believe that Apple can be behind Samsung on this.

You probably will not be able to get a refund. The iTunes Store makes it pretty clear that gifts are redeemable only in the same country, and the terms of sale say that all sales are final. But you can contact the iTunes Store and ask:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
For future reference, you will not get responses from Apple to any question you ask in these forums. We're all just fellow users here. And you posted in a forum for questions about the Communities themselves. You usually will get the quickest and most applicable answers if you ask in the forum dedicated to the product or service about which you are asking.

Can't get Google search bar to shut off.

I am having a problem getting Google search bar to shut off once the parental controls have been turned on. I'm not sure if its a preferences problem or not. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Zane,
There are two Safari preference files, one for each account. To access either via the Finder, you need to be logged-in to that account.
Not sure what type of parental control you established for the second user account? If the Finder is not accessible in that account, then you'll need to return to your Regular User Account>System Preferences>Accounts. There, go to the Parental Control panel>Finder. Make the necessary adjustments to allow access to the Finder. Also, make sure "Safari" is selected.
Once done, log-in to the other user account.
There, go to the Finder. The com.apple.safari.plist file may be found in the User Account>Library>Preferences file. Move it to the trash. Then, restart Safari. Safari automatically creates a new preference file with default values.
In Safari, no "Google Search Bar" ought to be on the Tool Bar in the Safari window. If it is there, post back. Otherwise, you'll need to reset your parental controls via the Preferences file in the Safari Menu.

How can I get a search bar added to my email archives screen to make it easier to search for the right archives folder, Samsung has one so I was surprised to see that I have to scroll up and down to find the right folder?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

I do not have a search bar in my firefox browser

I have an address bar which does not contain a search bar, how can i add search bar

You may have removed the search bar from the toolbar by accident.
Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars
If you right-click a toolbar item in normal (non-customize) mode then you can remove this item from the toolbar.
* "Remove from Toolbar" will remove this item from the Navigation Toolbar and moves it to the Customize palette ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize)
* "Move to Menu" will move this item to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list
* "Move to Toolbar" in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list will move this item to the toolbar

When I load firefox I do not get the yellow bar at very top. Why not?

I have loaded Firefox 5.0 and I do not get the yellow bar across the very top that all the instructions show and that shows on my daughters computer.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.
You can place the Tab Bar on top.
* View > Toolbars : [ ] Menu Bar
* View > Toolbars : [X] Tabs on Top

If you go to Photoshop>About Plug-in and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it list?
I suspect you still have Camera Raw 7.0
When you go to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6, it says nothing available?

How can I get Configurator off my work PowerMac and have my ipad, ipod4 controlled by my macbook pro from home?

Hi, I put apple configurator on my work machine which has all my itunes, my entire Apple Macintosh History on it and used apple configurator thinking it would be a great way to sync all my devices. I get it now, that it doesn't do that for the private person but is really for an institution or employer. Be that as it may I threw away the app from my main computer and thought I would be done with it.
I just reinstalled apple configurator and thought I took all devices off it. My ipad disappeared from the itunes menu. I plugged my ipad back into my machine and Paulz Config reappeared. I need to get this off my work PowerMac and have my ipad, ipod4 controlled by my macbook pro from home. And does it matter if I use the same email address that's listed with my power mac at work to easily switch the dominant mac over to my home from work. Things can get dicey at work and I don't want my life tied to the work power mac anymore. Thanks, Paul I realize there are a ton of questions in this. I am gratefull if I can just get the apple config off everything.

To completely remove Apple Configurator from a Mac, you need to delete the application along with the following:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator.
You may also want to delete the contents of ~/Library/Keychains and /var/db/lockdown to remove the Supervision Certificate, public and private keys and device pairing information. NOTE: There are other things in Keychains that you may or may not want to delete. Google "keychains" to learn more about what's in that folder.
Good luck!

First, you need to get that CAPS LOCK key fixed.

How good is macbook pro compared to 13" macbook pro retina and is the macbook pro has haswell processor and will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina

.

will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina
I do not know what you mean by that. Any currently produced Mac is likely to be supported for as long as every other Apple product that has ever been produced. Most Apple products are relegated to "vintage" status approximately six years after which they are discontinued by Apple, meaning that the non-Retina MBP is likely to be supported through 2020.

I need the exact model number, not just the series.

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off"

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!

Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
And the download an APP called caffiene...
When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep
