Can't type anything on Safari's address bar after El Capitan update

Just want to add that this issue also occurs on Yosemite!

Maybe Apple is having problems with one of their servers ?

Anyhow, Apple please fix this quick as this solution is just a workaround.

I'm such an IT idiot, though not working for Apple.

The reason? People make mistakes. Because they're being pushed by managers. Or because they have an off-day. Or a thousand other reasons.

I'm sorry .. we're not perfect 😮

Same issues here since this morning on every mac and every mobile device. Solved by disabling safari suggestions but hoping they're going to fix it properly.

This strange Safari problem only began today. I couldn't type anything into the address bar nor would favourites show in the drop-down box. And if I did try to type into the address bar it seems to trigger all kinds of strange behaviour including addresses being over-printed in the address bar. I tried all of the fixes I could find including running Disk Utility and trashing the cache.db file.

But nkanter's suggestion of unchecking all the search boxes in SEARCH preferences and then quitting and restarting Safari -- now *that* did the trick. Thank you.

ok, it worked for me too

(i didn't re-check any box... i don't really need the address bar to be a search bar too)

i just noticed that it still worked in a private window...

Thanks nkanter! Your suggestion worked perfectly for me.

Thank you!

This worked for me.

Thank you very much nkanter!

Hello kevinmathie,

This is totally unrelated but I could not find another way to message you. Do you still have the pre-done Environment for a Kurzweil PC88mx in Logic? I can't get it to work at all with my PC88. I found your post from Google, but it was locked and I couldn't message you through the post itself.

Sincerely

Joel

Hey! Wow, it's been such a long time since I've used the PC88mx with Logic. In fact, that was back in the day when I was still with Wife 1.0, who still has the PC88 I think. LOL. 😀 I looked just now on my studio computer, and I don't seem to have anything anymore for Logic's Environment. According to Spotlight, I only have two files related to the PC88 - an old Digidesign file (for ProTools) and a really old file (that I think is actually just an alias) for OMS of the factory names.

Other than that, I don't think I have anything related to the PC88 anymore. Sorry about that! The PC88 was a great keyboard.

It is a great keyboard! Haha thank you anyway for your timely response. Cheers!

Sincerely,
