I lost my back button.
Don't know when or now but it's not there anymore.

I refer to the little (red) < and > turnpaging icon on the top left side of the screen.


Now... to go back a page .... I have to go to "history", drop down, and click "back".

Oh the humanity. Ok, it's not the Johnstown Flood or Wounded Knee but it does hold one back quite a bit.

It's a Mac Pro notebook laptop, BTW.

Help?

1. Which browser? If it's Safari, right click in the chrome and you'll be able to customize
your tool bar by dragging icons. Lots of other browsers admit similar customization

2. Got it. Thanks. Yes, Safari. ( Actually got it by control+mousepad....
... that brought up the CUSTOMIZE widow.)

Then it was just a drag..... as you said.

Another Q: How does one right click w. a mousepad? ( I think I learned this at the get go ...when i bought the damn thing in the fall....... but can't seem to remember .)

3. The trackpads typically support multi-finger gestures; you might

have to wander into Preferences to enable; what you can do probably depends on exactly which Macbook you have and how old it is

You can find stuff like this by websearch:

5. Tap the trackpad with two fingers at the same time, that will do a secondary click/tap.
In the default config, swiping three fingers to the left goes to the previous page in Safari, three fingers to the right goes forward. I'm using a Magic Trackpad with my Mac Pro and I love it.
