Why (or where) the "reload all tabs" is gone ?
I work with 33 tabs, ans sometimes, I need to reload all of them
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
33 tabs open at once seems excessive. Are they all necessary for you to do your job? As for where it went, according to everything I've read/Googled on the subject, it was removed. I don't know why.
Well, I have a lot of page with documentation I use every day, + some web site for "transaction" (Jira, ARS,....)
I leave feedback for Safari, hope they will be back next update
I don't care if it's 33 or 4, it shouldn't have been eliminated. It's especially useful when you are responding to forums and you want to update the posts in a timely manner. I miss it already. Bring it back Apple.
I found this "work round" for this issue:
Open Automator and have it start a new document. Choose "Service" for the type of document. At the top of the window click the pop up button and scroll to the bottom and choose "No Input". For the next button choose the Safari application.
Next using the Automator's library, double-click on "Run Applescript" and the framework for it will show up in the right hand pane. In this pane copy the following script:
tell application "Safari"
repeat with i from 1 to the count of windows
set this_win to (window i)
repeat with j from 1 to the count of every tab in this_win
do JavaScript "window.location.reload()" in (tab j of window i)
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
Now save this, I named mine "Reload All Tabs" and close Automator. Or you can test is by running it from Automator.
No matter if you have three tabs, or if like me, 38 tabs, they all reload when you run this script. The only caveat I will say that it will throw up an error that you can just click OK to. I have figured out what the error is coming from but it causes no harm.
error "Safari got an error: AppleEvent handler failed." is the error and the explanation is:
"the application doesn't know what those commands are, passes the error up the chain to AppleScript, but AppleScript knows what they are and does it."
Cheers and hope this helps! 😎
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
Go to Safari extensions and download this extension:
https://safari-extensions.apple.com/?q=reload
Drag it to the Safari toolbar (customize toolbar) and you can reload all your tabs from there.
Tx to all who answer !! I will try the "reload button extension"
THe "Reload Button" works only with the current tabs 😟
So I ask John if he can modify the extension to give us the "relaod all tabs"
These script works like a charm, except for the error (not annoying, just do a enter on the keyboard)

When I work these forums I have about 18 open at one time--one for each forum area I haunt. So the OP is not alone; there are reasons to have a lot open. I've done that innApple Discussions and ASC since Safari got tabs and I was invited to help here about 2000-2001. Loss of the reload-all-tabs function is a step back in features,
Until Safari 9, having this many open caused zero issues for me on either my iMacBook Pro. Now I've held off upgrading the iMac until I can find a work-about for this or Apple fixes their slip-up. Seems like "updates" lately really mean "removal of useful features."
reload all tabs
