Good Morning, hi, this is Biggirl. Just upgraded to the new Apple OS X on my Apple Mac Mini. I am trying to look for the "URL" so I can in the future post news articles. Has anyone who has an Apple computer and has upgraded please give me some helpful messages. Thank-you. :) =^..^=

Thanks very much, I will check it out.

Apart from HTTPS, there is no such thing as a certified website. There is no such thing as a "correct" site.

I don't know what you mean by spoofing a URL. Hacking DNS? That will work, but will be hard to detect unless using HTTPS. Being found on a blacklist, such as Google's Safe Browsing database? That helps, but isn't definitive.

Or did you mean phishing URL's? I once got an email that wanted me to click on a Bank of America site. Mousing over the link, the URL began something like https://www.bankofamerica.com/security_validation?... but was too long to display in full. So, I copied it to the pasteboard and dumped it into an external application, which revealed that it ended in something like ...@www.something.com/, where www.something.com turned out to be somewhere in Russia.

Yosemite: Tweaking Safari’s URL bar settings

My OS X 10.6.8 was out of date and didn’t support other upgrades. Yosemite was free.

Thanks for answering her question...I didn’t quite understand the Q. Now if only I could get my “Favicons” back in my bookmarks “Sidebar” & “Tabs”! (On Safari 8). ;-)

So far, after day 1, I am getting used to the new setup. The only real complaint I do have is in iTunes and with the radio tuner. Where are the list of radio stations to be found, including conservative talkradio stations to be found?

Thank-you for your help everyone and God Bless.
