Cannot Manually Add Top Sites

This problem is driving my nuts.
On both of my Macs, I cannot manually add URLs to Top Sites as I used to be able to. Dragging a URL into a Top Sites window (in "Edit" mode), does nothing. It used to allow the URL to be dropped in an available space, manually creating a Top Site.
This isn't working on my 2011 MacBook Pro, and I was curious to see if it would work on my new Mac Mini that I just got, out of the box....nope.
Both Safari 6.0.1 and OS X 10.8.2
Reset Safari > Reset Top Sites has no effect.

I have the same problem.
It would be nice to have a suggestion for solving this problem.

TS1347 I cannot manually add an appt to my iPhone 4S calendar

After I updated my iPhone 4S with new operating sys I cannot manually add events to my calendar.

It means that you have too many tasks running on your phone (in the background) and need to close them down. You do this by deleting the tasks from the multi-bar at the bottom of the phone screen.
To delete tasks off the multitask bar, click the button on the bottom/front of the phone twice quickly. This will dislay just the multitask bar at the bottom of the screen (generally you see Music, Phone, Mail, and Safari here). Then click one of those tasks and you'll see all the items in your multi-task bar start to wiggle. You can scroll across from right to left to see all the apps you still have running, even if you aren't using them. click the X on each of these to close the apss -- this will not delete them from your OS. I did this and am now able to create Calendar events again!

Fox Tab lost all my top sites. Trised to add top sites again but fails to add them Please advise

After opening firefox my 3D FoxTab home page froze and I could not connect to any of my top sites. Closed and rebooted Computer opened firefox and on my 3D FoxTab homepage was blank and no top sites.

I like using 3D FoxTab but it appears it is not working for me what should I do?

Open your full bookmarks folder.Create a new folder and call it '''Top Sites'''
or what ever you want. Also,

I Suddenly Cannot Manually Add Artwork To Songs (??)

I'm running itunes 10.5.2.11 on a Toshiba NB505 Netbook running Windows 7 Starter. Everything has been working fine. Until last night when suddenly I am unable to manually add artwork. I usually click and drag from amazon.com. But I also tried copying the image and pasting it. It looks like it's been added, but when I exit it's not there.
The last time i tried it, it actually displayed the "updating..." message for each song on the album, but again it is not displaying. I have tried adding different artwork to different albums. I also shut everything down and restarted the machine. Same thing. It just suddenly is broken.
Any ideas?

Ok I know more. The two discs I was adding artwork to had a small number of tracks. One had 2 and the other had 3. I believe this is why the artwork was not showing.
I selected the "Always Show Artwork" option, and the artwork displays fine. But of course all the tracks that don't have artwork are now displaying the empty generic artwork placeholder.
Is there another option ?

Cannot Manual add music or restore

Back in June I bought an iPod shuffle for the missus and had problems manually adding music. This was fixed as described here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2501294
I've not tried changing any of the tracks since then until this weekend, where once again I couldn't add any tracks, and received this error: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/groves.darren/ipod/readwriteerror.jpg then when you click OK you get this error: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/groves.darren/ipod/uknownerror.jpg
I tried to 'restore' the iPod through Itunes and then got this error: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/groves.darren/ipod/restoreerror.jpg
Itunes version: 7
Ipod software version: 1.1.4
The fix before was to leave the shuffle in the iTunes source list, but I can't even find that option anymore.
Any suggestions please people.
Thanks

Thanks, I had already found that document.
I can confirm I'm running XP and it's up to date, I have installed the latest chipset & USB drivers (VIA). I have tried with no other software running, anti-virus disabled, in the USB ports at the rear (connected to the mobo), and the those at the breakout panel at the front - no different.
The only way I can now choose which songs I want on the shuffle is by creating another profile on my PC, and having just the tracks I want on the shuffle in the iTunes library, restoring to factory setting, and on the initial connection choosing autofill.
As soon as I try and add anything manually i get the error I previously stated, and then the iPod won't play, you get the flashing green/orange lights.
Any others ideas?

Cannot manually add tracks to ipod

Ok, i am trying to get tracks onto a 80gig ipod from an old clamshell g3 - it is connected via usb1.
There are a few issues - last night i set it to synch automatically and it transferred all of the tracks to the ipod. the this morning most of them had disappeared. As i felt it may be a synching issue i switched synching off and tried to move them over manually by dragging and dropping a selection of tracks but it would not let me do this (no green + sign appeared).
This is all very different to how things operate with my ipod nano and ipod mini so i cant work out what is going on!

It's not really that big of a deal, in fact it's kind of an obscure glitch, but I wouldn't refrain from upgrading just because of this expected behaviour that only happens under a specific set of circumstances.
that said, a bug is a bug and it should still get fixed.

What can be done to force top sites to retain the ones I've pinned?

Running the latest versions of Yosemite and Safari (not the beta versions).
I cannot get the Top Sites to retain all the sites I've pinned. I've got 2 spots left and no matter what I do *unpin" every site and add the 2 sites and then pin them all, do it separately, delete the preferences file for top sites, etc, the last two "spots" will not stay pinned. I can pin them even one at a time, open up a new tab with Top Sites and the pinned site will be there. Open another page and the newly pinned site is gone when Top Sites is opened in a new tab.
Any help???

Try a reset.
Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

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.
Skipper

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?)

I would like to add a site to my saved passwords, is there a file that I can edit to do this?

I would like to add a site to my saved passwords. Is there a file that I can edit to get this done?

This data is stored in key3.db and signons.sqlite, but there is no way to manually add a site. (The only way to add sites is to log into the site and use the "Remember password" button that drops down)

How can I make Firefox display Bookmarks tab instead of Top Sites when I touch the address bar?

I am using Firefox on HTC One. When I touch the address bar, I want to be able to see the Bookmarks tab instead of Top Sites. By default, it always goes to Top Sites. Is there a setting that I can change, or change the order of the tabs? Thank you

Hi:
Unfortunately you cannot remove the top sites homepage but you can pin a site, remove a site by unpinning it and edit a pinned site's url.
Please read [[Pin Sites on the Firefox for Android start screen|this article]] for instructions.
Hope this helps!

Safari6: Cannot add pages to my Top Sites

Hello, I am having trouble with Safari 6.0. I'm currently using a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5 and the problem occurred after I updated to Safari 6.0.
When I add a new site to my Top Sites, it seems fine. I can close all the windows and click the Safari icon and it is still there; however, when I quit Safari and open the program again, the new site I just added disappears. I tried so many times but no luck making stay it on.
Does anyone have the same problem and know how to fix it?
Thanks!

Quit Safari.
Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy/paste: ~/Library/Safari
Click Go then move the TopSites.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
Try Safari.
If that doesn't help, copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try Safari.

My "top sites" no longer display and I cannot make new ones appear. Why?

I used to have Top Sites capability where my favorite websites were displayed as icons on one page so I could easily click the icon and go to that page. They disappeared in the last month and I cannot get them back nor can I create them again using the "add to top sites" tool at the top of the page. Why?

Do you mean the about:newtab page or a special page created by an extension?

Add Trusted Sites by GPO and allow the user to edit / add Trusted Sites manually.

Hi All
Greetings for the day....
I have task to add a few Sites in Trust zone, Where I am succeed allowing them by GPO. As user requested to allow him to add Sites to add / edit manually. When I applied the Security Zone : Do not allow user to add sites to disabled , but it not allowing.
IE options greyed out.
Need your valuable expertise.
J D Tech Guy........

Hi,
On local machines, this setting will be grayed out and users can’t change it, if we configured the setting from the following node:
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Security Page\
Site to Zone Assignment List
However, we can try using GPP Registry to deploy the setting, for this will allow users to change the setting.
Regarding this point, the following two threads can be referred to as reference.

Fox Tabs and Add To Top Sites is not working. All my tabs have disppeared right after upgrading. Help!

I upgraded to 11.0 and clicked to open tabs, which will take me to Fox Tabs, but I was unable to click any open. When I clicked Edit, every thing disappeared. When I clicked Done, the screen stated "Saving..." and it stayed like that for more than 5 minutes. I closed that tab and again clicked Open tabs, this time it was blank. When I right click on any page and chose Add To Top Sites nothing appears on Top Sites. I have made this my Home Page and when I click home, Fox Tabs is still blank.

Hi,
You can try to '''Remove''' and then install FoxTab via '''Tools''' ('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''. You can search for FoxTab on the top right search box and install it or install it from the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxtab/?src=search AMO homepage].

How do I add a web page to top sites in Yosemite?

How do I add and lock in a web page to top sites in Yosemite?

Took me some time to figure it out, but here's how to add.
Go to the page you want to add.
when you hover the mouse curso over the address bar, a circle with a "sign" will appear ...
Click on it and keep the mouse button pressed.
A list should appear, just select "Top Sites" ...
That's it !
