How come some of my "top sites" in safari won't show the pages?

I had to restore my system and now some of the TOP SITES in safari wont show the pages and only show the black page. If I click on the black page, it loads the page, but it stays black in top sites. Any help would be nice thanks

It is probably just an artifact of restoring. Once you type their names into the url bar again, the sites and their last images will show up again in Top Sites.
I use an obscure method that clears all caches on every logout, and my top sites always comes up all black when I log in. It is not really a defect, it just does not have an old page-image to show you until you visit that site again.

Top Sites at Safari Won't Stay

I only got this laptop for weeks and I can't figure out how to keep my picked top sites at Safari. I clicked the EDIT button and pushed the pin for all the sites I wish to be kept at top sites but they will run after I restart my laptop.
I read a thread about this same issue here and the user was told to remove the file, topsties.plist - at Home/Library/Safari. I tried to do the same thing but I couldn't find the file anywhere from my laptop.
Need help here!
Thanks!

You can always bookmark them too.

For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching? All songs are available on iTunes. I don't get it! Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match? I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
You aren't comparing like with like.
The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

TS3408 I have created a web site using iWeb. It has been running fine. I have made some changes to the site and it won't show the updates in Safari, but does show the changes in Firefox

I have created a website using iWeb. It has been running fine, with no problems at all.
I have recently made some changes and the updates don't show in Safari, but when I open Firefox, the changes are there. It doesn't show the updates in Chrome on my iphone either? Any suggestions?

You can also reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8?

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8 to open the selected website in new windows? I was able to do that in the last version of Safari before upgrading to Yosemite and Safari 8.

Having to hold down the command key obviates the ease of use where I used to just click with my scroll wheel to open several of the Top Sites in new tabs.

Safari won't show passwords how do I fix?

Since I updated to OS X 10.9.4 on July 1st Safari won't show the passwords. I check box to show passwords. The box where I enter my passcode never shows up and the check mark disappears from the box. Have a MacBook Pro. So how do I fix this?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

How can I add a website to Top Sites in Safari?

How can I add a website to Top Sites in Safari 7.0.1? Thanks for your help.

I figured it out. Go to the website you want to save to Top Sites. Click on Bookmarks, click Add Bookmark, a small window comes up saying "Add this page to: ", click the arrows for the drop down menu and click Top Sites and OK. Then your site will be added to your Top Sites. :-)

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3, and there is no option to download again

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3 and there is no option to download again?

Hey KMK14,
I understand you are having issues with a few tracks in iTunes. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the song from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
For more information, see the following:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can?

How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can? Mac OS 10.8.5

You can simply set your system preferences
Sound preference
output - to whatever your USB device/audio interface is
Your question seems a bit vague to me though. So can you actually inform us of what it is you are trying to do and give us examples with named kit.

How come some of my itunes songs have a "check mark" and ones that do not say the file cannot be found.

How come some of my ITunes songs have a check mark next to them and the songs that do not have it, I receive a error message " the file could not be found" The songs are on my Ipod and Ipad2. Is my itunes library screwed up? Can someone tell me how to clean up my library?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
