Where is snap back in Safari 6?

When on a Google search, I see they have removed the snap back feature! Is it somewhere else? Is there another quick way to get back to the main search after reading multiple pages of a particular site? I am using OSX 10.7.4.

One should do the trick.. try this.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy / paste > ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, check Safari > Preferences > Extensions. If there are any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Where is the snap back to page function in Safari?

Is the the "Snap back" to page function gone? I cannot find it anywhere on Safari 4

Thanks. I can see that it is also useful in the search box but Apple should not have taken it out of the address bar. I use that function a great deal. The "Top Sites" function is nice but it doesn't replace the snap back function in the address bar.
Sometimes I think the programmers at Apple do not actually use the applications they work on.
Is there a request page I can ask Apple to put snap back back in?

How do I get mail to stop snapping back to top of inbox after moving a message

My organization provides iPads to some employees to assist them in working remotely. Most people updated their devices to ios7 on the day of release, but I waited so we could compare functionality. I'm glad I did, as there have been a few things that we've had to figure out for our users. However, there is one we can't find the answer for. Most of our users make use of email extensively, and it has for the most part worked great on the iPads. But here is the problem now: a user goes into their inbox which has hundreds of messages, so they decide to clean it up a bit. They scroll down to some of their old messages, and move the message to a folder. That's works fine. However, when the screen goes back to the inbox, it snaps back to the top, rather than going back to the position in their inbox where they last were. Thus they need to scroll down again. When I first saw this, I assumed that it didn't work prior to ios7. However, I checked on my iPad (not on ios7 yet) and the inbox does not snap back to the top, but rather remembers where I last was in the list of messages. Some of users are finding this very annoying, as they are wasting time scrolling through their inbox.
Anyone got a fix for this?

Hi BGreg - Thanks for responding. That option is definitely not checked- which is why this is so mysterious to me.
The other thing that might be a clue is that, as I type an email, drafts of that email show up in my In box. Why multiple versions of the draft show up in my In box (rather than a single version in Drafts folder) is a mystery. It means that I have dozens of versions of long emails (each version reflecting a longer stage of completion) clogging up my In box.
Weird, huh?

When I am on an Internet site, my iPad will suddenly flash a grey screen and then go back to the home screen where I have to start Safari again and reopen my page. It does it frequently sometimes 3 times within 5 minutes. Anyone else have this trouble? It is driving me crazy!

Reverting back to Safari 5.1.7

Back when Safari 6.0 came out, I updated to it but wasn't happy. At the time my laptop was still under warranty. I took it in for service and the tech deleted 6.0 and reinstalled 5.1.7 for me. This occured about 1 year ago.
Lately, I have been noticing terrible performance in Safari. It has become slow, twitchy, glitchy, unsmooth when scrolling, etc…so I decided to update to 6.1.1. Well its no better performance wise, so I would like to go back to 5.1.7. I have the download manager for it, and I did what the tech did a year ago to first delete 6.0. I deleted the Safari folder in its entirety, exactly how the Apple tech did prior, which is located at:
/system/library/stagedframeworks/safari
I then deleted the Safari folder found at:
Finder, click Go, hold option, click Library, delete Safari folder.
Next, I emptied the Trash Bin.
The problem is that when I run the 5.1.7 download manager, it says it worked but then when I try to launch Safari it does not work.
Anybody got any ideas?

If you have Lion the following method is relatively painless (Mountain Lion removed the OS X RSS supporting code so Safari v5.1.7 won't run on Mountain Lion) - assuming you have access to an installed package of Safari v5.1.7.
Leave v6.0 where it is.
Find another installed Safari v5.1.7 source (time machine, or a Mac that wasn't updated - Snow Leopard Macs did not get the v6 update). For a Mac that wasn't updated go into the Applications folder copy the Safari package (its the Safari Application with the Safari icon in Applications directory) - it should be about 40MB in size if memory serves.
On your Safari v6.0 Mac, go into your Applications folder and create a new folder (I called mine Old Safari), then drop your Safari v5.1.7 copy into it. Copy the Safari v5.1.7 to the dock so you can launch v5.1.7 easily (I deleted my v6 Safari icon for clarity Dock but its not required).
Run v5.1.7 and enjoy its functionality again (its what I'm typing this in and others have used this method) and any updates that come for v6 should find the installed v6 and update it.
Important, do not run both versions at the same time (they use the same supporting files and corruption is likely) and just to avoid issues if you are running v5.1.7 I'd avoid using v6 till your ready to give up the ghost on v5.1.7 (who knows what kind of issues could raise their heads with them both using the same supporting files).
At some point, with this method, you could do an update from Apple that updates the underlying supporting code Safari uses and breaks Safari v5.1.7 (like disable the Lion OS X RSS functionality) so that's an ongoing danger, but this is an option for folks that want to use v5.1.7 again and can't roll back their machines.
Of course v6 had a bunch of security issues fixed so using v5.1.7 presumably leaves those and future updates behind - so this isn't a great long term solution, but for now it works.

Anchor points move as I pull them but snap back into place. If I pull them out further, they snap to a new location but not precisely where I want them to. Help?

either snap to grid or align to pixel grid yet again, i guess.

Is there a way to get out of using RSS in mail.app and go back to Safari?

Hello,
I am a big RSS user and have a pretty huge and unwieldy subscription list. When Leopard shipped, I started using mail.app to read my RSS. I went so far as to delete all of my subscriptions from Safari and rely entirely on mail.app.
As some of you may have noticed from other threads in this forum, RSS in mail.app seems to be not ready for primetime. Specifically, if I leave mail.app open for more than about an hour, the RSS feeds stop updating entirely or update sporadically. It is at this time when I will also invariably find a Database.sqlite3 file in my trash can (which prevents the trash can from being emptied, too).
If I restart mail.app, the feeds start updating again BUT INCLUDE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF OLD ITEMS. This happens every time I restart mail.app now. I have read all of the other threads that suggest that perhaps dot mac bookmark synching is to blame. This cannot be in my case since I have it all turned off and am not a dot mac member. I have no plugins installed in mail.app or safari.
I have come to the conclusion that RSS in mail.app is too buggy and unreliable to be used and I would like to go back to Safari. The trouble is that when Leopard shipped, the idea of RSS in mail.app made perfect sense to me and I got so enthusiastic and "there's no going back" that I deleted my enormous amount of RSS subscriptions in Safari. Is there anyway to export my RSS subscriptions from mail.app so that I can import them into Safari? I REALLY don't want to try and add them again one by one.

here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396
and if you are in the marked for a new reader may i suggest David Watanabe's excellent NewsFire. he had just recently made it totally free as a gift to the macintosh community.
best of luck.

Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,

PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

Hi apple user. I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Tried hold home button with sleep button but it doesn't get back my safari bookmarks. I also have reset without erasing my iPad data but still doesn't work. Help me get back my safari iPad bookmarks.

Hi, I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Have tried reset without erasing data and hold home and sleep button together but when go to safari all safari bookmarks still lost. Is there any case help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks ? Currently my safari is hanged, can't surf webs or anything. I saw the safari tab on iCloud is on, but I don't know using iCloud. Please help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks. I have contact Apple but could not set chat session. I have my Apple ID registered same with iCloud, also same during the time I have all iPad safari bookmarks lost. My iPad never synced on computer since I bought it with set at local store. Please help me get my iPad safari bookmarks back, thanks.

Hi, I quitted Safari and press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously unti the Ipad turn off and on with the logo Apple appears but it has hanged on and fixed to the point. I do it again hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously and the Ipad turn off and on again with the Apple logo but it still is hanged on the same point. I have do it a few more time, it still hanged to the same point for few hours with no change (like picture):
I think my Ipad is fault now. I guess I must connect it to the computer with itune, or something. So my case is this: at the moment everytime I hold the Home and Sleep buttons the Ipad always off and reappear with the Apple logo and be hanged on (like the pic), and I need restoring my Ipad Safari bookmarks... so I guess I need using Itune or something to get back the Ipad then using Icloud or blah. Please guide me for the step, Im not sure if connect to PC, if any that my Ipad data would lost, or is there anyway that I also can get back Ipad Safari Bookmarks after connecting to PC, also the how using Icloud. There is no Apple store or service store in my country so I think I must do it my self. Feel free to share your guide, thanks.

Since updating to 3.6.1 I don't get an empty browser window in my tool bar whe. it opens --- just a list of search engines. I can't find anything in "Help" or the FAQ's that seem to address this. My only choice seems to go back to Safari.

I am not sure what your problem is, can you give more details.
One possibility is you may be in full screen mode, for details on fixing that see the [[menu bar is missing]] article.
If you are missing various toolbar items, see the [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article.
If your problem is something else please give more details.

Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,
I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

My case is different from those listed below. First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
My problem is this:
I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems. However, when
i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
appears beneath the video I just watched. The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
This occurs for any selection I choose. My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R. This fills in the old video window with the
video I just chose. Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha? Anyway, the present condition *****.
This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have reset Safari and have also
deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

This has nothing to do with iTunes as iTunes provides no way to move or relocate the backup files.
A search of google or the fourms would reveal ways to create a folder link to relocate the physical location where the files are stored.

Is there an application where I can back up all my info that I have on my computer so I don't have to buy a external hard drive?

Is there an application where I can back up all my info that I have on my computer so I don't have to buy a external hard drive?

Yes, but off-site storage (i.e. Mozy) is more expensive in the long-run than an external drive, however, off-site storage is safer (not sure if I trust the security though), and even with a fast connection, the inital backup can take days
