All of my top sites thumbnails in Safari are blank

My thumbnails on the top sites in Safari are blank, but the links works perfectly.
I've followed the suggestion in this thread without any result: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18343208#18343208
Resetting the cache has neither helped. I don't know what to do.
I'm using:
OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Safari 6.0.2
Please see the picture.

Hi This is a bit late for an answer but I've just taken possession of a new MBP and was browsing the forums as I have a few issues too.  On this topic my thumbnails werre all blank to start with but as I have used the sites they have slowly returmed until now they are fine.  My issue is with Preview.  I used to be able to combine PDFs after scanning but now?  I'll need to post this question elsewhere methinks.
Hope things work out for you
Regards
Malcolm

  • Safari Top Sites thumbnail images not updating automatically?

    is it happening just with me, or the automatic update of the Top Sites thumbnail images is not working anymore?

    It is intentional. When on the Top Sites view, hit Command+R to refresh the images. Supposedly this was done because the previews don't do a good enough job of detecting weird login pages and wifi password pages.
    Personally, I'd like it to have an option to go back to updating the images on its own again.

  • How can I update the 'Top Sites' display on Safari on my MacBook Pro?

    Ok, so, up until fairly recently (around 2 weeks) when I opened Safari my topsites would be displayed as nine 'thumbnails'. And they used to show the current site, so if I had CNN, it would show the top stories of the day, yet now it has stopped and hasn't updated for weeks, so is showing old news, until I click it. Also, for NBA.com, it shows an old picture, until I click and open the site. I know this is a very trivial thing, yet it's annoying. So basically, how can I add a new tab and see the Top Sites' thumbnails updated? Thanks in advance.

    Hi.
    now it has stopped and hasn't updated for weeks,
    The TopSites.plist file may be corrupted. There's an easy fix.
    Quit Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Safari
    Click Go
    Move the TopSites.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari. See if that made a difference.

  • OX MAVERICK -Can a list of TOP SITES thumbnails visited on Safari be prevented from being displayed when open up Safari

    Since upgrading my Mac's OS X Mountain Lion to 'Maverick', each time I start up Safari it provides thumbnails of sites previously visited under heading: 'TOP SITES'.
    Can this be pevented so just the search engine is displayed upon start up of Safari eg. AOL or GOOGLE?

    I have solved it thanks -

  • Reading List all changed to Top Site after Upgrade to Safari 7.0.5

    Safari was upgraded to 7.0.5 a few days ago.  Since then, all items on the Reading List, once click on, bring only the Top Sites. 
    Is there anything I can do to fix it?

    Yes there is.
    Run the malware removal tool here >  The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
    Then quit and relaunch Safari.

  • Unable to refresh top site previews in Safari 8

    Just started using Safari 8.0 on OS 10 Yosemite as Chrome is not stable.   Trying to get Top Sites page working well but cannot get preview images to refresh.  All my top sites reflect login pages i.e. Facebook login page.  Searching for answer turns up doing PAGE REFRESH as a solution to his issue.  However there is no refresh button on the Top Sites page (as no site is loaded)  - using Command - R also does nothing.

    Hi!
    Is this (Re: Top site doesn't work. Safari 8.0) the same problem? If it is, try what I mentioned there. I hope it helps.

  • Gmail missing from top sites after closing Safari

    This is becoming extremely frustrating. I constantly add Gmail to my top sites and pin it so it permanently remains there; however, once closing out of Safari it disappears. Anyone else having trouble with keep Gmail on their top sites?

    I get the same thing...if I restart my computer or even quit and relaunch Safari, all my web-mail top sites are gone, replaced with the typical ever changing top sites. It only seems to do it with these types of sites, as all my other ones set to remain permanent always do.

  • How can i disable the top sites on my safari browser?

    How can I remove the Top Sites features when I open safari so that the whole page defaults to Google?

    That doesn't really disable "top sites," it just hides the page from regular view. One can still select "show top sites" in the History menu. I would like it turned off. I don't want this feature to be accessible at all. There should be a setting that turns it off entirely.
    I don't begrudge other people's preferences if they like it, but there should be the ability to simply deactivate the feature. I don't find it useful, I find it creepy, like the browser is stalking me. I know it just uses data from my history, but I don't care. It feels like my browser is stalking me and invading my privacy. Since it's my browser, I want to tell it to knock it off, once and for all.

  • Top Sites Refresh? Safari Yosemite

    Is anyone else having an issue with the Top Sites not refreshing on Safari? v8
    You used to be able to do a "force" update by hitting command-R, but that no longer seems to work?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Many people are complaining about this, including me. To get this problem solved we need to all send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
    Click the link below to tell Apple we want this feature back.

  • My Safari was rudely reset and I lost all of my Top Sites.

    Is there any way to restore Safari in order to get those sites back? I never really bothered learning the URLs. And this is while running OSX Snow Leopard.

    Welcome to the Apple community khnkOliver.
    I assume these photos, or at least not all of them weren't in photo stream.
    You should be able to recover your photos from a back up.

  • Safari is not displaying all of a page; sites have words that are on.......

    I am having an issue with Safari whereby website pages are not displaying the whole page-the bottom quarter or so is cut off. Firefox is fine. Also, I know on some sites, the words are on top of each other. I just updated to Safari 5.0.3 and still having the same issues. Has anyone else noticed this? My son and husband have seen this on their Macs....... very annoying! Judy

    I logged into my admin test account and it seemed fine there. And so I logged back out and back into my usual admin account and all is well right now! It appears to be intermittent so therefore hard to diagnose. Ugh. My text size is as I want and set it up for. So I don't know what to say. I did repair permissions a few minutes ago. I don't know what to say but putting the old plist on the desktop and forcing a new one to be created did help, at least for awhile. Right now I am happy....... Thanks, Judy

  • Top Site previews are blank or black.  Why?

    I have reset Safari and emptied the cache.  My top sites were then pages Safari already had loaded.  I have my own top sites saved, but they are blank black screens. It has never done this.  Please help! Thanks for your responses.

    If you selected, "Reset TopSites" from the Safari > Reset window, that automatically deletes all the previews.
    You may need to re add the sites back in again >  How to manage Safari's Top Sites
    If you have problems adding sites to TopSites, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Safari
    Click Go
    Move the TopSites.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
    See if that made a difference...

    I like and use Top Sites but it has become unsuable with this constant blacking out and reloading the thumbnails.  My MBP has not seen a problem at all.
    I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy.  I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval.  Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
    Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
    the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
    thanks again
