My mack is fairly new, but just checked and if I right click on the tool bar on the top, near the coloured buttons u should see the "HideTool Bar" with a tick next to it. LH click that to remove the tick, and the addy bar should return.

Best of luck

I suspect I do have right and left click by using the alt button

Hi again, sorry i use a mouse. I tried it with the trackpad and if u move the pointer to the tool bar and then press the bottom right hand corner of the trackpad the option should come up. The equivalent to a right hand click. Then follow the above instructions. Just tried it in mine and it works…lol

hope it helps

Look on google and found this
www.wikihow.com/Right-Click-on-a-Macbook
put yr cursor over the top tool bar and see if any work.
