How to fix Top Sites flickering

When I go to Top Sites on the browser tool bar the boxes flicker on and off but are empty. How can I fix this?

Get a pin and clean out the hole that is found at the top left corner of your iphone. I have had this problem when trying to record videos but that's what solved it

How to disable Top sites icon in Favorites bar?

I have upgraded to Mavericks and there are two issues that make me regret the move. The first is small sounding but it makes me so angry I can't see straigh. In a Google sort of way, the new version of Safari foists upon me that miserable button - the top sites icon - as if to say "haa haa ... we know what is good for you". I want it gone! It used to be an option you could uncheck in the preferences ... but unless I'm missing something (I sure hope so!) Apple decided we should not have the option. Please tell me there is some way to get rid of the icon ... and better yet to disable somehow the whole top sites thing. I despise it, and I despise that someone tells me what I must have and how to work.
The second thing is the bookmark sidebar. I've always like how it works in safari. Now for some reason, as oposed to before, when you have the side bar slide into place so that you can select the bookmark - it stays there! Why? I want it to disapear after I click on a bookmark as it always has. I don't want to click again each time to make it go away. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior? This was in the beta of mavericks and I was not going to upgrade over the "feature". In the demo however I caught that a presenter clicked ... and the bar slid away, the way I would like it to. Now that I have mavericks ... it does not work as in the demo on stage.
So ... anyone ... is there a way for me to fix these two irritations?
I'm going to wait a month or so to see how Mavericks direction develops. I've always disliked Chrome because I don't trust they security and their proclivity towards tracking. I haven't cared for Firefox much neither ... mostly due to the way they render fonts. I will not use Safari if I can't change both of these features ... so I guess (because I suspect it is a case where apple knows what is good for me) that I won't be able to set up safari to not annoy me ... so my last questions is a recomendation for a replacement browser. What are your favorite browsers aside from Safari?
Thanks.

Well after a few more days with Mavericks I have to say I'm fairly impressed with it. Both laptops seem to have better battery life, and ... is it my imagination ... but they seem faster too? Not bad.
On the Safari problem I have, so far, made no headway, so I would be grateful for anyone who can come up with an answer. Perhaps the drawer sliding out and then back after you click your bookmark has a command line solution? I wonder how to investigate that?
As slick as Safari is (It has long been my favorite browser) I've been looking for a replacement. I won't consider Crome because of the afforementioned Google practice of monetizing "us' and our data. I don't trust em!
I dowloaded Opera ... and found that they have the same ideas in spades, about Top sites, that Apple seems to be adopting. What a shame ... and a no-go.
Then I started a trial with iCab. Now that is one nice browser! First impression are very possitive but there is the same top sites icon sitting there, with no obvious way to zap it. WHAT is going on ... does everyone havet to jump on the same (often hated) feature? I sent an email to the developer, expecting little but hoping just a bit anyways. Guess what? About forty five minutes later I received a reply. Wow, now that is nice!
My first impressions of iCab are very positive. I, however have the
same problem. There is a top sites right in the favorites bar. Can
this be disabled? I have not yet found a way to do this.
You can turn off this icon in iCab. Please enter "settings:" (without the
quote characters, but including the colon) in the URL field and hit the
"return" key. This will open some additional settings where you can configure
some more stuff. In the section "favorites toolbar" there's a setting to
show or hide the TopTen icon in the favorites toolbar. Just switch this
option off and click on the "Save Settings" button.

..... So problem avoided. I'm going to spend the twenty dollars to register iCab even though one does not really need to. With responsiveness like this ... well, I want to keep it.
So that is my progress up until now. Not much on the original quest ... if you count nothing+hope as merely "not much". Still hoping. But having choices such as iCab and probably others ... sure did make me less grumpy.
I know I should perhaps just chill out. Life would sure be a bit easier if I had it in me to not care about these little details, I know. Having it perfect, perfectly elegant and perfectly customizable - that's tough.
On the other hand. This is Apple. Isn't it?
Cheers!

Open Safari and click Preferences on the menu named Safari. On the General tab set "New Windows Open with" and "New Tabs Open with" to Top Sites. It doesn't matter what the Homepage is set to if the above are set to Top Sites.

* "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
* Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
* Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
* Bookmarks or history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
* If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
* If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
* Items that disappear from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
* Actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.
You may have a problem with the places.sqlite file if the history isn't working properly.

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.

How can I update the 'Top Sites' display on Safari on my MacBook Pro?

Ok, so, up until fairly recently (around 2 weeks) when I opened Safari my topsites would be displayed as nine 'thumbnails'. And they used to show the current site, so if I had CNN, it would show the top stories of the day, yet now it has stopped and hasn't updated for weeks, so is showing old news, until I click it. Also, for NBA.com, it shows an old picture, until I click and open the site. I know this is a very trivial thing, yet it's annoying. So basically, how can I add a new tab and see the Top Sites' thumbnails updated? Thanks in advance.

Hi.
now it has stopped and hasn't updated for weeks,
The TopSites.plist file may be corrupted. There's an easy fix.
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Safari
Click Go
Move the TopSites.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. See if that made a difference.

How to fix flickering in actionscript?

I have a problem making my FLASH working seamlessly. When you
put the mouse over the buttons (movie clips) then they are
flickering. Do you know how to fix that? I want everything to work
smooth and slow, without flickering and flashing in the eyes. I
used only this script:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay ("1");
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay ("2");
Link
to that example
FLA
source
If you put the mouse in the middle of the button (there are 4
of them there) it starts flickering. Why? How to fix that?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Alex,
It's flcikering because you're trying to use a timeline tween
to control it. You can achieve a better result using Actionscript.
Bin your timeline for each movieclip and leave just the first
frame.
Now replace your code with this
on(rollOver){
onEnterFrame = function()
if(this._xscale < 200)
this._xscale = this._xscale+10
this._yscale = this._yscale+10
on (rollOut) {
onEnterFrame = function()
if(this._xscale > 100)
this._xscale = this._xscale-5
this._yscale = this._yscale-5
on (release) {
getURL ("
http://www.flashfridge.com",
_self);
You may need to reposition your buttons on the stage and
change their registration points...I think it works best if you
place the centre of the top image at 0,0.
The benefit is that it won't "jump" if you re-roll over.
You may want to play with the scaling (I choose 200%) and the
rate of growth/decay (10 and 5)
Hope this helps!

How do I edit my Top Sites Page on Mavericks?

I am trying to figure out how do I edit the top sites page. Before you were able to click an edit button that allowed you to delete and pin the pages but now I can't figure it out. More specifically I want to know who to delete certain pages.

I know this is old, but I just figured I would shed some light on solving the issue I think you are actually speaking of. When I upgraded, I immediately noticed I could not click "edit" in the bottom corner to change the amount of top sites, which slightly irritated me. I tried everything, and eventually thought they had done away with the feature altogether, but then I saw if you click safari (from here, that Bold Safari word in the top left corner of the screen) and choose 'preferences' it will take you to a tab that allows you to modify the number of top sites, allowing me to go back down to 6. Easier to read, easier to make sense of. (A lot of websites cannot be made out when they are '16 top site' size. So this was something I wanted to fix, with my 11" screen.) Hope this helps!

While adding new fonts, somehow dumped necessary fonts from OS 10.6 library. now have only blank menus, dialog boxes, even apple support site. How to fix?

Imac Snow Leopard .....While adding new fonts, somehow dumped necessary fonts from OS 10.6 library. now have only blank menus, dialog boxes, even apple support site. How to fix?

Thanks again baltwo,
Thank you all very much,
Strangely enough even though I had gotten the " Install failed....Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer....The install could not copy the necessary support files" I had left it on the screen and left the room for awhile. I walked back into my computer room a few minutes ago and the window on the screen stated that the SL OS 10.6.4 had successfully installed. I am now very carefully checking things out to make sure the fonts are where they should be. With the exception of some updating it appears all may be well.
PS. Below is a note I was writing to Kurt (also assisting me) to try and detail what had happened. Added it in case it could be of any value to you
Kurt,
Thank you for response. following is series of events to my best recollection.
I would typically not have been this stupid/ignorant but was doing this in a hurry with someone asking me questions...wasn't paying attn. to what I was doing
• downloaded new fonts
• opened downloaded fonts, clicked font icons to open and install them.
• typed "fonts" in spotlight (with the intention of moving new fonts into font folder)The Spotlight results window revealed 5 or 6 font folders. I ignorantly started to try a clean up by installing all fonts into a single folder (not thinking about system fonts)
Sometimes when you are moving a folder the window you moved it from will jump around..well this occurred and I mistakenly released the folder on the desk top. This caused a copy to be made. After some investigation I realized it was a copy of the required system fonts that were still located in the original "spotlight results" window.
• I attempted to delete the copy..when I did an administrator password box appeared I entered the password and the result was both system font folders were deleted (the original & the desk top copy I erroneously made)
• Now windows open but are blank with sometimes faded mini sized icons. If I click one of the mini icons i get a new blank window. I am unable to give any instruction, have total blank menus, dialog boxes, etc.
I can open the some of the items that have icons in the apple dock at bottom of page in the

Every morning when I awaken my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later.

Every morning when I "awaken" my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed on it's own. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later. I checked system preferences and everything seems to be checked appropriately as well as for Safari's preferences.
I am not sure what's going on, because Safari only just recently started doing this and I haven't downloaded anything, nothing out of my regular computer routine. As well, I upgraded to Mavericks when it came out and I have the last version of it too. I can't imagine that Safari would close simply because I don't have or want to upgrade to Yosemite. I am holding off on the upgrade for a bit, because I heard Final Cut Pro 7 can't be run on Yosemite. While I could partition my drive, I really don't want to. Mavericks is fine for right now : )
Okay sooooo...back to Safari...what the! Please help and thanks for any replies ahead of time!
I Hope All Is Well In Your World : )

There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
Network section.
In Network - click on Advanced - then the DNS tab
under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
either these, from google dns
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click OK & then 'Apply'
You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)
