Can I rename my Top Sites?

I am using Safari 7.0.4.  I love the Top Sites feature but I'd like to rename them.  I can't figure out how, though.  Is it possible?

Thanks Atekbailey
That's easy when you know!!
It works perfectly for me ;-)

    Bookmarked sites will remain even after history is cleared.

  • 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.

  • 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 -

  • Can you have multiple "Top Sites" screens?

    I love the lay out of Top Sites. I am using Speed Dial for Firefox as it is very similar in the way it works. However Speed dial is just like bookmarks. I have tabs along the top of the browser screen of the groupings. When I select which grouping I want it displays 9 websites the same way as Top Sites does. It was great. Easier to get to bookmarked sites than using the drop down menus and I liked being able to see the screen updated. Everything was basically in folders like Bookmarks would be. Anyone know if I can do this with Safari?

    Is there an add on something to allow you to have multiple screens that look like the top sites. Something like Speed dial for Safari

  • How can I stop Top Sites from opening in Safari for Windows 4.0.2

    Using Safari for Windows 4.0.2 on a PC, how can I stop the Top Sites window from opening? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Top Sites page does not stay open after clicking New Tabs

    I used to be able to click on “Open a new tab” and the “my top sites” would be available on that page. Now when I click on “Open a new tab”, “my top site” appears and disappears immediately; each and every time. However, if I open 2 new tabs and then go back and click on the 1st tab then the 2nd tab, “my top sites” are available. Also can I get my top sites as my home page?

    There is this pref: browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground
    But it doesn't have effect if you open links via the Library, it only works when opened via the browser window (menu, toolbar, sidebar).

  • Just downloaded 5.0 version of Firefox..when I click on my TOP SITE Icon my screen comes up "blank and black" how do I get my top sites back?

    You can click on the TOP SITE ICON but none of the sites show up...only a black screen

    I have the shortcuts on my browser to the sites that I go to frequently. It's when I press those buttons (which have always worked before and I checked their URLs) it takes me to the Yahoo Page not Found page. But then when I click the shortcut button again, it usually works.

  • Top Sites not an option

    Ok, I have searched "Top Sites" in every way here, and all of them seem to head in the same direction, so I will ask mine more specifically.
    I personally run Safari on all 3 of my Macs and my home PC with no issues, however when I tried to install Safari on my mothers PC, I cannot get the Top Sites, or Cover Flow (but I'm not really concerned with for her,) to work for her.
    Info:
    System:
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Version 2002
    Service Pack 3
    -updates current (1.10.10)
    Computer:
    AMD Athalon(tm) Processor
    1.66 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
    Hardware Device Manager:
    Display adapters
    RADEON 9000 Family (MS)
    -drivers current (1.10.10)
    DirectX9 websetup (1.10.10)
    I have installed/deleted/reinstalled Safari 4.0.4+QuickTime for Windows XP, Vista or 7 several times. (1.10.10)
    What I am left with is a fully functioning web browser save the Top Site/Cover Flow options. Here is a screen shot of my options panel open. There is no option to add it to the menu bar. You might notice I have tweeted Safari already, so I am aware of what to look for to add it to my bars.

    I have also tried to do the much posted:
    "Quit Safari. Now go "Start > My Computer". In "My Computer", go "Tools > Folder Options" and click the "View" Tab. Make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected. OK out of the Tab.
    Now Open Local Disk (C:).
    Open "Documents and Settings"
    Open the folder that has the name of your user account on the PC.
    Open "Application Data"
    Open "Apple Computer"
    Open "Preferences"
    Drag the com.apple.Safari file out onto the desktop.
    Now launch Safari again. (This will rebuild your com.apple.Safari file.)
    When it finally opens, can you see the Top Sites thingy in the Bookmarks bar next to the book, or the Top Sites button in the "View > Customise Toolbar" window?"
    but I do not have the [com.apple.Safari file] in that location. What I do have is a file menu of:
    http://gallery.me.com/skipperlandry/100052/apple%20computer%20file%20meny
    I did a Start>Search for com.apple.Safari forgot where I found it, but did manage to get it on my desktop. After running it, nothing changed.
    I do hope I have given the information needed to figure this out, but if I have missed something, I would surly be happy to go get it.

    Hi Skipper. It looks to me from your screenshot:
    http://gallery.me.com/skipperlandry/100052/apple%20computer%20file%20meny
    ... that you're looking in the wrong place for the com.apple.Safari file. In that screenshot, you're in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\ whereas you should be looking in C:\Documents and Settings\skipper\Application Data\Apple Computer\ for the prferences folder (assuming that Skipper is the name of the user account in which you're getting this behavior).
    On the other hand, it sounds like you found it when you did the search.
    Have you been able to determine whether or not this is a systemwide problem or a user-account-specific issue? (In other words, if you create a new user account with full administrative rights, log into it and try launching Safari, do you get Top Sites as an option? Or is it missing in the new user account too?)

  • HT5364 How do I recover a site onto the top sites after removing it?

    When you hover over a top site, a menu shows that can pin the site as a permanent top site and it can "never include as top site" does never mean never ever? How do I get it back? I dont want to reset safari either.
    Thanks

    The eventual solution came about when I was bookmarking a random page using ⌘D  or the + button left of the url bar. I noticed one of the options of where to keep the bookmark is Top Sites; when I tried to do this with Gmail, it worked!

  • How to change the Top sites in Safari 6.1 ?

    the thing is, when I decided to update my Safari, it changed. I can't edit the Top sites because I can't find the oh-so-called 'edit' button.
    so how can I change it??

    This is how I did it using Safari 6.1.3:
    Add the webpage you want to add to your Top Sites to your Bookmarks Bar by dragging the URL to the Bookmarks Bar.
    Open your Top Site page and make sure your Bookmarks are open in your sidebar (View > Show Sidebar > Bookmarks)
    Drag the webpage you added to your Bookmarks Bar in [1] onto the Top Sites page. The existing pages will move around and you can drop your webpage when you're happy with its position.
    Hope it works!

  • Please change the view in the top sites, the 6.1 upgrade has reverted back to a plane two dimensional view, which is a little plain. Can I revert back to an older version via my time capsule save?
