On a Mac, using Safari I notice there is no way to update or reload the page. Am I missing something?

Click the circled arrow on right side of the website URL.

Agree with clicking the circle. Also, Command-R should do the trick

Hey NE, how are you doing with that learning curve? Starting to like the Mac? How about the lack of viruses and screen-freezing? Or those multiple "Updates?" Do you miss that blue screen of Windows death yet?

The Safari learning curve is going slower than I anticipated. I'm used to Chrome The Mac is a beautiful machine. Only one update on the Mac so far.

I'm primarily a Safari browser guy also. I moved to it from Internet Explorer (Microsoft). If it helps any, the upper left Apple symbol is all about the machine itself. The other menu items will vary depending on what software app is active. Under the software name (i.e. - Safari) will have a drop down menu with a lot of familiar options. Moving along to File, Edit, View, etc. will all be similar. One thing to keep in mind, when trying to save or open files in another format, the Apple terms are Import and Export for those function. So instead of "Save As, then .pdf or .wpd or .doc" you would "export" to filename.doc

Hope this helps.

You can use Chrome on your Mac. Just go to the App Store, search for Chrome, and download it. Once it is on your computer, you can go to Settings to make it your default browser.

Chrome for the Mac works well, so does Firefox.

Indeed.

OP, if one uses their Macbook on battery, Safari is more efficient in lower power usage, allowing the battery to last longer.

Also, experts consider Chrome to be a memory hog when leaving many browser tabs open. That may not matter to you depending on your usage.

You’ll have a much smoother experience with Chrome. Just download it and make it your default browser.

Since you’ve already received the answer I’ll just add that YouTube is your friend. It has videos that answer any question you might have, and even instruction videos for any Mac topic. Gary at macmost .com is also great for free short topical instruction videos, and even Mac classes. Have loved Macs since 2007. Enjoy!

To refresh SAFARI I prefer to pull-down VIEW (upper left across top) and choose RELOAD PAGE.

Wow…thank you for the clear visual. How do you create that arrow?

You don't "create it", it's there in the corner, once a page loads. See attached.
