Safari - no address field.
I have lost the address field in Safari - the blank space at the top where you type in the desired URL. Anyone got any idea how I can find it again!

Re: Safari - no address field.
Hi Dick if you right-click on the toolbar area of Safari, then choose Customize Toolbar you will be presented with a drop-down list of various toolbar items which you can drag to the tool bar, amongst them is the URL address bar that is missing from your Safari.

iTunes and Open DNS problem
Firstly have a Happy New Year WAMUGgers, I hope the group thrives in the coming year. There may be some strong reasons to use Open DNS and the information it provides can also be helpful, but there can be a downside if you download from iTunes or use an Apple TV. According to this article summary on slashdot.org Joe Mailer wanted to download an iTunes movie recently and his Apple TV told him it would take two hours. When he switched his DNS resolver settings, the download time dropped to less than 20 seconds. Apparently, iTunes content is served by Akamai which uses geolocation based on the IP address of the DNS request to determine which server should provide his content. When you use Google or Open DNS to resolve the Apple domain name, all the requests to Akamai appear to be coming from the same location and they're all directed to the same server pool, overloading that pool and causing the slow downloads. The solution: Be wary of using Google or Open DNS when downloading iTunes files or similar large files. Use your own ISP's DNS servers instead or run your own resolving DNS server.

Apple in 2011
As usual on New Year's Eve there are the lists of events of the past year and lists of expected, or hoped for events for the New Year. Here is a fairly conservative list from the italiamac website with only item 5 being somewhat speculative. 1. iPhone 5 - improved antenna, more memory 2. iPad 2 - forward facing camera for FaceTime, more memory, USB, Retina display 3. Mac OS X 10.7 - experience similar to iPad and iPhone 4. Mac App Store - software acquisition like iPad and iPhone 5. Major attention to iOS - iOS 5 with Apple concentrating ever more on it's mobile iOS It looks like an exciting coming year for Apple, and I hope that Steve Jobs will also add one more thing.

If you are happy with that you then have to buy dictionaries - which are one way only (ie Spanish to English is one dictionary and English to Spanish is a separate purchase).
