How do I remove top site preview from Bookmarks Bar

Last night received message from Safari asking whether or not to update Safari settings, which, in a pinch, unfortunately I did.  I now have a top site preview in my Bookmarks Bar and I do not want it there.  I have tried everything to get it out, including the most obvious: unchecking "show top sites" in Safari preferences, restarting Safari and computer.  Also, going to Utilities, Terminal and pasting in script for command found searching on subject.  Nothing works.  Does anyone know how to get this top site window out of my Bookmarks Bar?  I have spent a great deal of time on this and am quite frustrated as a result.  Thank you.

Hi
so if you click/hold just above the 'address' text - or anywhere in that dark bluey-grey band above the column headings... you should be able to drag that upwards so that the site preview area disappears leaving only  the dark search bar.
Maybe it's not that - I didn't mention it right away because that 'setting'  is common to every bookmarks view/collection, rather than " The top site preview appears ONLY when I select "Show all bookmarks," and THEN select the Bookmarks Bar "
If not that, do remove the safari plist file - keep it safe & you can easily replace it with safari quit if there's no change. Safari will create a new, default version when it next starts.

  • How do I remove McAfee Site Advisor from OS 10.7.5?

    I cancelled the McAfee Security Suiteweeks ago but the site advisor is still active and blocks sites such as Angie's List even when you tell it to enter anyhow. I suspect that it causes erratic screen moving and slows the computer.
    I have dragged it to the trash bin repeatedly, but it persists in popping up.
    How can I remove it?

    That is a Windows virus. It cannot in any way affect your Mac, and is not the cause of the speed problems you're having. You should be able to freely delete the files that are infected with that virus, to avoid spreading it to a Windows machine accidentally.
    I'm a bit confused, because your profile indicates that you have a PowerBook G4 running 10.3.9, while you posted in the Mountain Lion (10.8) forum. If your profile is actually out of date and you're running Mountain Lion, I have heard anecdotal reports that the current version of Sophos has some problems with ML. I have no personal experience with that, so I can't say whether it's true or not, but removing Sophos would be worth a try. For other performance-related troubleshooting steps, see my Mac Performance Guide.

  • 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!

  • How do I remove the "show top sites" button from the favorites bar?

    I just updated to Yosemite, and so I have Safari 8.0... which has the "Show Top Sites" button at the extreme left of the favorites bar. Given I loathe that feature, I tried to remove it but unlike everything else in the favorites bar, it won't go away or move.
    I hate "Show Top Sites" as it feels like my browser is spying on me. I know it's just taking from what's already in my History but all the same, I don't see why I should have to put up with it given it's my browser and I should get a say in its behavior. New windows open to a blank page but I would at least like the button in the favorites bar removed, but ideally, the entire feature disabled.
    I can disable tabs. Why not top sites?.

    Hi ..
    Unfortunately, there is no way to disable or remove the Top Sites icon from the Bookmarks bar.
    You can provide feedback to Apple regarding this matter > Apple - Feedback

  • How do I remove a site from a domain?

    I have two domains from GoDaddy.com that I forwarded to my .Mac site. How do I remove the site from one of the domains while keeping it on the other domain? And how, incidentally, can I use the second domain for another site.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    Frank

    Just log into the GoDaddy web forwarding section and cancel the forwarding for the site that you don't want linked.
    If you want to link it to a new site, publish that site when it is ready and set up web forwarding to that particular site at GoDaddy. So you would forward to web.me.com/username/sitename.

    How do you remove a web site from popular list?
    If you mean from the Safari menubar item "Popular"
    Choose "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmark menu in the main menubar, or click the icon for that in Safari's menubar -
    The page that opens should show a list of Bookmarks. In the Left column, click the item under Collections named Bookmarks Bar.
    In the new view, locate the folder named Popular and click the reveal triagle to the left of its name - it will open and reveal all the items listed in Popular.
    Find the one you want to remove, click it once to select it, then press the Delete key on the keyboard.

  • How do I remove my iWeb pages from the Home folder so I can publish to a new host?

    I have moved my MobileMe site to a new service (GoDaddy).  The basic transfer went very smoothly.  With one tiny hitch:  the new URL text.
    IWeb places web  pages in folders, each folder being a  "site." The name of the root folder automatically becomes a "pointer" to the web site -- and part of the URL text.
    My current root folder  is named DavidChartrand -- me.  So..... when I published everything over to GoDaddy the text "DavidChartrand" was attached to my URL. 
    Instead of seeing www.davidchartrand.com in the URL bar, visitors  see:   www.davidchartrand.com.com/DavidChartrand
    GoDaddy staff says this is simply a quirk in iWeb's design.  Fine, but it's annoying.  Is there anyway I can keep using iWeb but somehow remove the root folder.....that is, remove my site pages from the root folder and and then re-publish? GoDaddy tech support swears it  has many former MobileMe/iWeb users who have done this successfully but offered had no idea how.
    David

    The way iWeb publishes its websites, in its own folder, the normal URL is http://www.domain_name.com/Site_name/Page_name.html.  This is a normal URL for any web host.
    If you want to get rid of the site name you will need to publish your website to a folder on your hard drive and upload only the contents of the website folder to your server with a 3rd party FTP client like YummyLite, Transmit or Cyberduck.  That will get rid of the site name in the URL. 
    Of course remove the existing website foldr from the server beforehand.
    I believe the folder you publish to on GoDaddy is named public_html.  You might try renaming your website to "public_html" and publish to GoDaddy.  In theory iWeb will see the website's folder already on the server and publish the website file into it. 
    It works that way with HostExcellence.com which names the home folder the same as the domain name associated with it. This tutorial explains more about it: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb

  • How do i remove my credit card from my apple id

    how can i remove my debit card from my apple id, i have had to cancel my card and now my iphone and ipad will not let me update my apps

    Here's how to remove your card form your account, katiekoos:
    1) Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website at:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
    2) To launch iTunes and be taken to your Apple Account Information page, click this link:
    https://phobos.apple.com/accountSummary
    (If you are not already signed in, you will need to enter your iTunes Store account name and password and then click the Account Info button to sign in.)
    3) The Apple Account Information page will appear. On this page, click the Edit Payment Information button, which is the second button from the top.
    4) On the Edit Payment Information page, select "None" from the list of credit card types. This will delete your billing information.
    5) Be sure to click the Done button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.
    Note: If you established any allowances using this credit card, please cancel the allowance and advise the recipient that the monthly allowance payments will cease.
    To buy from the iTunes Store in the future, you can use iTunes Gift Cards, which are available in multiple denominations at third-party retailers, Apple Store retail locations, and the Apple Store online.

  • How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?

    I am in the Moment working on the Development of an Express VI
    library for test purposes.
    How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?
    This happens when the Express VI is inserted in the blockdiagram
    and listed in LabVIEW and TestStand Palettes.
    By short names like "DAQ-Assistent" or "EasyCalc" the string " Source.vi"
    is not shown at the end of the Express VI names.
    I used The Express VI Dev Toolkit 1.0 to create the Express VIs.
    Labview Version: 7.1 Base
    TestStand: 3.1
    It would be great to get the expert advice from the Forum for this issue!
    Thanks a lot.
    Andre

    I think I understand what you are asking for. If I am wrong, please try to explain it a bit more.
    The name shown may be different than the name of the vi file. To do this, your source VI and popup on its icon. From the short menu that comes up, select VI properties. In the top ring, select Window Appearance. The page that comes up lets you set various things that can affect the appearance of the VI. What you want to change is the window title. Uncheck the Same as VI name checkbox and change the string to whatever you want it to be.
    I hope that this helps,
