Safari User Guide

Google Toolbar Internet Explorer is a toolbar for the Microsoft browser that is very practical because as well as having the most used search engine worldwide, Google also offers other very important services like YouTube (to view videos), Google Maps (that will allow you to view faraway cities or find travel routes), Google Reader (to follow Atom and RSS feeds) and Picasa (for photos). Because Google has used parts from Apple's Safari and Mozilla's Firefox browsers, they made the project open source. Google Chrome for Mac is widely popular because it offers Google-specific features on your Mac. Download Google Chrome on your Mac to get a multi-functional web browser that’s easy to use and customize, no matter your skill level.

Download music, PDFs, software, and other items by clicking links on webpages.

Important: If a download contains software, an alert appears when you open the item. To be safe, don’t open it if you weren’t expecting a software program or if it’s not from a trusted source.

Download an item

1. In the Safari app on your Mac, click anything identified as a download link, or Control-click an image or other object on the page.

2. Choose Download Linked File. (Some webpage items can’t be downloaded.)

   Safari decompresses files such as .zip files after it downloads them.

   Note: If you download an item that you previously downloaded, Safari removes the older duplicate so it doesn’t take up space on your Mac. See Optimize storage space on your Mac.

See items you downloaded

1. In the Safari app on your Mac, click the Show Downloads button near the top-right corner of the Safari window.

   The button isn’t shown if the downloads list is empty.

2. Do any of the following:

   • Pause a download: Click the Stop button to the right of the filename in the downloads list. To resume, click the Resume button .

   • Find a downloaded item on your Mac: Click the magnifying glass next to the filename in the downloads list. If you move a file or change the download location after downloading it, Safari can’t find the file.

     Tip: To change where downloaded items are saved on your Mac, choose Safari > Preferences, click General, then click the “File download location” pop-up menu and choose a location.

   • Clear the downloads list: In the downloads list, click Clear. To remove one item, Control-click it, then choose Remove From List.

     By default, Safari automatically removes an item after one day. To change when items are automatically removed, choose Safari > Preferences, click General, then click the “Remove download list items” pop-up menu and choose an option.

Please note that some additional browser tool bars that you may have installed can also act as pop-up blockers. These could include the Yahoo toolbar, Google toolbar, Bing toolbar and more. Please check to see if your browser has any of these, or other tool bars that may block pop-ups, installed and disable their pop-up blocking feature while using the Course Portal.

If you are experiencing problems viewing your course or it's content, first be sure you are using one of the web browsers listed above. If you are using one shown above, please ensure that your browser is configured as listed.
