On Safari 8, the download button to the right of the toolbar is missing on one of my systems. it is there on the other systems. I tried checking to add it from preferences, but it isn't an option in Safari Preferences, nor in System Preferences. Any thoughts?
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), 2010
Once "Downloads" list is cleared, the Downloads icon will disappear from the Safari Toolbar.
The icon will reappear once you start downloading any item from the web again.
That is the normal behavior.
Hi! Sorry to bump this thread, but I have the same issue. I tried downloading an image but it wouldn't work. It usually goes to the downloads folder thing on the dock, but I accidentally removed it, and I also don't know how to get that back.
The thing is, I need to be able to access the download button so I can install my Norton Anti-virus. It says to click the downloads button, then double-click the Norton installer, then click "Open" - steps I am familiar with, though I cannot access the downloads button, even when I download something.

Your computer doesn't need an anti-virus program, especially any Norton product. They can't actually protect you from anything anyway, as there are no viruses currently in the wild that can do any damage to OS X. The only thing Mac users need to be aware of is adware/malware, and that's installed by you — it gets on your computer when you download something from some place you shouldn't, like an aggregate download site, and there is no program in the world that can keep you from doing that. Only your common sense can.
I agree with pinkstones' above comment.
Go to your user/home folder and select the Downloads folder. Drag it into the Dock next to the Trash can.
Once you click on the download link, the download button will show.
