Software update - Things disappeared

MacCrank · Sep 14, 2012, 08:23 AM

I have updated my Macbook Pro today to the latest software and I have had a number of things changed that is rather annoying. How can I get them back?

1. Google Search bar top right has gone. I have to now type into the URL address bar.

2. When online I often hit the delete button to go back a page. This has now been disabled.

3. When I clicked for downloading, you would see it move to the download box top right of screen and showed a progress bar in blue. Now I have no download box there anymore.

Can I get all these back?

TIA

Sounds like you "upgraded" to Safari 6

1. No

2. The keyboard shortcut for going back a page is Apple+[. I'm sure that can be edited in system prefs.

3. Do you not have a downwards arrow button to the right of the address bar, that shows the downloads. If not, perhaps use the customize toolbar option to add it.

1. No. Annoying!

3. Do you not have a downwards arrow button to the right of the address bar, that shows the downloads. If not, perhaps use the customize toolbar option to add it. No I dont have a download icon (arrow). See screenshots below. Cant seem to find it in customizebar either.

It might appear when you try to download something for the first time.

Just tried it and your right, it appears. Thanks!

I'd just like to find out if I can get back the following now.

#1. (separate google search bar) &

#2. (re-activate the delete bar to enable it to go back a page).

I will have a play. Cheers.
