How do I setup "Top Sites" in Safari?

I've installed Safari on several PC & 2 REAL computers (Mac). Some PC have Windoze 7 & some XP. I downloaded & saved Safari to a folder on my hard drive & installed it on several PC from that same .EXE file. On a couple PC there's no optin for "Top Sites" in Preferences for the setting, "New Tabs Open With".
I'd like to know if anyone would please help me get that set correctly.
Does anyone have any idea why/how it's not the same on all PC? At first I thought it had something to do with Windoze 7 vs XP, but some XP boxes have it & some don't. The setting is there on the Mac of course. THEY'RE not a problem. Just the PC.
It's kinda driving me crazy. I'm already pretty close anyway, so it's not going to take much to push me over the edge....
THANK YOU!!

When I restarted my computer, an iBook G4 with Tiger, the Top Site icon disappeared again. I re-installed Safari 4 a second time, and the Top Site was restored again, until I restarted my computer, when it disappeared. It's not listed in Safari>preferences>bookmarks.
Does anyone have a solution.

  • How to edit the top sites on safari 7.0.1

    The edit button that usually sits at the bottom of the top sites page in safari no longer exists and i can't figure out how to change my top sites or the amount of top sites displayed.

    Safari 7
    Top Sites Edit button is moved to top left corner the tile from the bottom left corner.
    Hover the mouse pointer near the top left corner of the tile,
    Edit button and the pin should appear.
    Best.

  • 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 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Problem with Top Sites in Safari 8.0.4

    Hello:
    I just bought a macbook pro, updated all software patches that needed to be done and tried to add my personal top sites in safari. I like to browse visually with them.
    The problem is that I have a 12 icon grid. I have successfully done most of them but there are a couple of glitches:
    Safari refuses to add my personal webmail site to the top sites http://webmail.velarde.com/
    I add it, pin it.. in the place i want . quit safari, reopen and it;s lost.... I've done it lots of times... restarted the computer , erased safari's Top sites plist, etc...
    It refuses to keep my site and also add the last 12 icon... I never loads anything there and won't let me add any site in the 12th position.... If I add it, it will dissapear and leave me a  gap after I quit and reopen... All the 11 other icons are working as expected.
    It's very strange... I know they are a couple of small issues but would love to fix it... This is the first time this has happened to me.
    Thanks for any help

    what I'm expecting is by doing a limitation in a lov, is that when I press the find button, the result reflects that previous limitatio.
    The form I'm working is "Purchase Order Summary" in Purchasing module, and I want to a restriction in Ship-To field, for a certain profile condition.
    So, when I do that limitation, the LOV of the field, shows the only possible Ship-To records, but when I press the Find button, the result is more than the expect.
    I also tried to change the DEFAULT_WHERE but I also have had success
    I really don't know if this is possible to do in the personalization, or if it better to use the custom.pll to do that.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • How to add a trusted site in safari

    How do you add trusted site to Safari so you don't have to request a pin from a bank every week or so?

    Non-Windows browsers do not have a concept of a "trusted" site. In Windows, IE and Chrome do not repeatedly prompt for credentials because they use the user's login credentials on the desktop. Other devices do not have this capability. Instead,
    you need to use something like ADFS to authenticate users.

  • How do you stop top sites from loading in safari

    I have tried for days to stop "Top Sites" from loading in Safari 7.0
    In my ~Library I have locked the:
    Safari db
    metadata db
    etc.
    There is no way I can find to stop these crap top sites from loading!!!!!!!!!:(
    Anyone found a way to fix this?

    Never mind, I found out how to do it. However, you can't get rid of all the sites because in Safari 7.0, in the Preferences>General Tab, you can only change Top Sites to a minimum of six. So, you can't entirely get rid of them.
