Where is the "back" button in Safari?

[Crackberry1973]

I know this is a very rudimentary question, but as a new Mac user who has been googling for quite some time (wont say HOW much time)....I[/url] cannot figure out how to "go back" in Safari. I dont see any arrows. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

If you right click on the toolbar at the top and select "Customize" you can drag the back/forward buttons to the toolbar.

You can also press cmd+[ for back and cmd+] for forward

Back and forward arrows should be in the upper left hand corner under the red, yellow and green icons. (default configuration I assume)

Seriously?

There is a little black arrow, in the top left corner of the safari window - right underneath the red "close" dot.

If you move your mouse over it for a second, it will pop up with "Show the previous page"

Do you have your toolbar hidden? View>Show Toolbar

Or right click in that area and select Customize Toolbar and drag them yourself where you want them to be.

Also have a look at the following links, as the information presented there might be helpful in your future endeavours into Mac OS X and could clear up initial confusion and may even prevent harm to your system or your files.

Excellent!

Thanks so much for the great responses. I needed to customize my toolbar to include the back/forward buttons. "SERIOUSLY", they werent enabled. My bad.

You can also control-click/right-click in a blank (non-text, non-link) area on the page and you'll get a contextual-menu with Back, Stop, and other contextually relevant actions.
