How do I get rid of 'Top Hits' in the search bar/ url address bar?

I have websites in my bookmark folders but I don't want them to appear as a suggestion when I search, I've cleared my history and they are still there. I don't wish to delete my bookmarks though.
I'm using Safari version 6.0

I'm fairly certain that would be illegal of Apple. They MUST provide a way to remove all history, and Top Hits is just an especially annoying form of history.

  • How can I get rid of top hits in safari on iPad Air.

    Hi,
    I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of top hits suggestions in safari on my iPad Air. I've gone into settings and turned off top hits and also cleared history and cache and cookies and yet I'm still getting top hits coming up. I'm using the privacy option and have also rebooted my ipad with no success. Any more suggestions as I don't want top hits showing when in safari, many thanks.

    You can go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, cookies and data and then delete every bookmark and that should clear it temporarily, but it will only be temporary. As soon as you starting using the search again, then suggestions will appear again.
    I think that I may have misread your question - if you want to clear all of the history - use the Clear History button in the upper right corner of the History window. You cannot delete one item at a time.

  • How do I get rid of "top hits" coming up when I start to enter a web address?

    Want to get rid of "top hits" prompts coming up when I start typing a web address.

    I doubt there is a way to disable that without deleting history and bookmarkd.
    But for a work around follow this thread.

    either Select All and drag to the left (turn on the Lock Automation menuItem if you have any automation curves)
    or
    use the Cycle Region to export the exact length you wish:

  • How can I get rid of multiple pictures at the same time?

    how can I get rid of multiple pictures at the same time?

    Adobe Bridge, lightroom and your file browser (windows explorer or Mac Finder) can select multiple pictures at once and then delete. If you are looking for more than that for information, you will need to be more specific at what your doing, what OS you have, and version of software your using. If necessary post screen shots so we can see what your doing. The more information we have the more detailed of an explaination can can give back to you.

  • How do I get rid of sticky pages fm previous searches?

    It seems that since the switch to Yahoo browser I'm having problems. Cannot get rid of a sticky web page from each of several sites I've searched, no matter what. There's no "x" in the URL box, and using the red & white x sends me back to my desktop.
    I've tried everything, including contacting web site(s), removing cookies, upgrading security. I'm not upgrading to new Firefox because I don't need the new abilities and don't want to lose any old ones, or be forced to take on some I don't want. Am I
    being punished for not upgrading? Has Mozilla/Firefox been acquired by the pushy Google? Even when I try one of your Suggestions To Help, when I want to get out I get totally thrown out of the site and have to start all over to before registration page and have to recompose my "question." Which is: How do I get rid of these unwanted returning web pages, even after having eliminated cookies for the sites, rebooted, all of that?

  • How do I get rid of extra space in the toolbar section?

    There is a blank space between the Navigation Toolbar and the Tabs. It is the same height as the other Toolbars, and is very annoying. How do I get rid of this space?
    I tried pasting in a screenshot to show what I mean, but this form won't accept it.

    Sorry thought you had placed them both on the same toolbar.
    What you appear to have a a bookmarks toolbar without any bookmarks.
    Make sure that you have the check mark present for the bookmarks toolbar
    View > Toolbars
    Use "Ctrl+B" to bring up the bookmarks in the sidebar.
    You should have three major folders "Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu" and "Unsorted Bookmarks".
    If you have no bookmarks or folders in the "Bookmarks Toolbar" that would be one reason for it to be blank, another and the only other one I think is currently possible through Firefox itself is that you don't have the wording "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" in the row when in customize, look for an item marked "Bookmarks" -- there are two such items you don't want the white star on a black background and drop-down, you want the the one with blue symbol on the right hand side -- drag it to the bookmarks toolbar, be careful in dragging you might drop it in the wrong toolbar.
    If that doesn't work use the "Restore Default Set" and then you have to re-customize your toolbars (but you placed a picture here that you could work toward).
    See picture at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization_-_Firefox
    for during customize with "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" showing on the toolbar.]
    My own customizations seen in this picture
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx4toolbars.png
    :are described in the following
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]
    and most of the major styling changes like color borders around tabs for status, and bookmarks bar with blue folders and red bookmarks are in the styling part items # 41 -45 (46 if you have multiple profiles).

  • How can I get rid of this totaly useless gbp search window?

    How do I get rid of the gbp toolbar home and gbp search box

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • How do I get rid of a frame round the active window?

    Suddenly a frame has appeared around whatever is the current window, including the desktop if no window is open. I have no idea how this happened, how do I get rid of it?

    I think you may have Voice Over (accidentally) turned on in the Seeing part of Universal Access Preferences. If so, you can turn it off there, or you can toggle it on/off with command-F5. (In this key combination the former is the "apple key" and the latter is the function key.)

  • How can I get rid of Top Arcade Hits virus/malware?

    I noticed on the past month or two that on certain sites a little bar appears with thumbnails of things thtx are somewhat similar to what I have on screen. I figured it was just annoying adware. l I googled it and it seems the stuff is a virus or malware of some sort. I saw a posting somewhere on this site that Top Arcade Hits can easily be removed by deleting it from the Add-ons. However, my Firefox Add-ons contain nothing about this. Oddly, this intrusion does not appear consistently. I tried to get a screen capture by reopening the site where it pops u but I can't get it to show up in Firefox. However, I opened that site in IE and there it was! I made a screen shot but can't figure out how to attach it. I see that a troubleshooter of some sort (window below) says I have "GreatArcade Hits" Add-on so I seem to have it even though it does not show up on the Add-ons--probably not a good sign.

  • How do i get rid of black space at the end of a video presentation?

    After creating a project in iMovie and burning it onto a DVD, I realized that when the movie was finished, it did not return to the Menu right away and instead it played 20 or so seconds of blackness that I can't seem to get rid of. Has anyone else had this problem? And how do i fix it? I have also checked if my any audio or narration tracks lengths were that long, and none were.
    Please help.

    In the course of your editing you may inadvertently have left a tiny scrap of audio or video way out at the end of your time line, with a large gap between it and the last clip in your movie. Your movie will play out until it reaches that scrap, leaving a large black gap at the end of the movie. Sometimes these scraps are so tiny that they are difficult to see and can be overlooked in normal view. Expand your time line view to its fullest extent and check to see if you can find such a scrap, left over from editing, and then delete it. It's worth a look, though you may not find anything. That's all I can think of, unless for some reason you have a 20 second long black clip at the end of your movie that you forgot to delete. (Don't laugh--it happened to me once.)
    Good luck in resolving your issue.
