I cannot click the thumbnails displayed in "top sites"

Just recently recieved my new mac. The thumbnails under the top sites section cannot be clicked. I can move them around however I do not see the "pin/remove" option located in the top left when moving my mouse over the site. I am running 10.9.3 with safari version 7.0.4

Try troubleshooting Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If it's not an extension issue, open the Finder.  From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Safari/TopSites.plist
Click Go then move the TopSites.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Lost the thumbnails in safari top sites homepage.

    Ok, confession time... I think I actually turned them off playing around with a free trial of Cocktail.
    Then, the next time I launched cocktail, it told me I had reached the end of my free trial and wouldn't let me do anything, i hadn't even realiseed that I was on a time limit!
    So, now when I launch a new safari page the thumbnails have been replaced by black spaces weith the little compass icon
    Well, I don't actually need Cocktail and I don't want to spend the money. Also I'm thinking, if Cocktail can turn them off, there must be a terminal cmd to turn them back on.
    Any ideas?

    Yes, I've seen this reply to other people who've asked a similar question, but I can swear that until yesterday I was seeing a page with '+' signs on it when I opened a new tab.
    And I'm running Safari on iPad with iOS6.0.1...

  • I cannot click the direct links for websites. Cache and indirect links work fine.

    In any search engine, I cannot click the direct links to be websites. I was having this issue with IE also, but through their support system I found if I run "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" that it solved the issue for IE but not Firefox.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

  • My Macbook doesn't turn on, it just show a white screen and after a while a question mark blink, I cannot click the question mark, and cannot do anything. Any suggestions?

    Hi, my Macbook doesn't turn on, it just show a white screen and after a while a big question mark blinks but nothing else, cannot click the question mark, cannot do anything.Also it makes a funny noise.  Any suggestions?

    Suppose it's a HDD crash. Boot from Install DVD which came with your MacBook(Press C during startup) and open DiskUtility to repair your HDD if it's able to mount.

  • What has happened to the blue star in Top Sites?

    I recently updated from Safari 6.05 to 6.1 on my Macbook Air running OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). I can live with the drab new look of Top Sites — not that I seem to have much choice in the matter. A feature that appears to have vanished, and which I greatly miss is the blue star in the upper right corner on the web pages in Top Sites which indicated a change in the web page since my last visit. Top Sites no longer appears to scan the pages; what I see now is the appearance of the page the last time I visited. Is there any way I can reactivate this function?

    It should update the page automatically.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Safari/TopSites.plist
    Click Go then move the TopSites.plist file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari. See if pages update automatically in Top Sites.

  • In iOS Safari, I've lost the option to view 'Top Sites'

    Hey all,
    You know that when you create a new tab in iOS6 Safari for iPad, a page pops up with '+' signs to which you can attach pages. It's a mobile version of the desktop Safari's Top Sites, right?
    Except on mine I've lost this. Ever since I mistakenly clicked on a site's button saying 'make this page your homepage', I now only see a blank screen when I create a new tab instead.
    Can anyone suggest a way for me to get the previous type of page back please?
    Thanks!

  • On Craigslist, I cannot get the thumbnail images to change

    I open an entry on craigslist and it has multiple thumbnail images. When I click or pass the curser over the miniimages, nothing changes. Before all I had to do to change images was move the cursor over them.
    Is Firefox blocking this? I use Avast free antivirus. OS is Win XP Pro. on Dell desktop.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • I upgraded to iOS8 on my iphone and now cannot see the thumbnails of my pictures when I try to download onto my computer.

    I have an iphone 4 and an HP Pavillion with windows 7.  I always have been able to connect my iphone to my laptop and open
    the DCIM folder and see the picture icons so I can pick the ones I want to download.  After upgrading to iOS8 I cannot see the icons after a
    few seconds of connecting the phone to the computer.  They all turn into the windows icon.
    I do not want to try the icloud for windows control panel unless I can pick the pictures that will be transferred.  I don't want all the pictures I take on my computer.

  • When a third party program creates a new Google calendar event using a http link I cannot click the save button in Firefox 9.01 or 10b2.

    I use a TV listings program called DigiGuide. This has a script that opens a new Google Calendar event page in my browser for a specified TV program with all fields already completed. I then just have to click the SAVE button on the Google Calendar site to save the event - but since updating to 9.01 from 8.xx this button and others (Discard, Search) has no effect, although the cursor changes when over the button as if it recognised a link. Opening the same page in Chrome works fine. I have also noticed that Calendar's other buttons (e.g. next/previous period) can stop working on the main Calendar page, which I have as a pinned tab - in this event navigating away from Calendar and back again regains that functionality. The issue persists in Firefox 10b2.

    Further investigation reveals this only happens when the event is created from within WP native calendar app and disappears when I make an edit to the event in any other calendar client including Google web. So a more appropriate description of the problem would be:
    "Native calendar app keeps subtracting 1h off a Google calendar event on EVERY edit"
    Create an event at 2013/07/17 15:00 in WP native calendar app. Result: Event shows as 2013/07/17 15:00 in the calendar app for a few seconds, then updates itself to 2013/07/17 14:00.
    Edit the event title and save in WP native calendar app. Event time moves by -1h again to 2013/07/17 13:00.
    Edit the event title in Google web calendar.
    Subsequent edits in WP native calendar do not mess up the time any longer. If I fix the time to what I originally intended (2013/07/17 15:00) in WP native calendar app, it stays there and shows correctly in all previously mentioned calendar viewers.
    I just learned that Lumia 925 was released with GDR2 update pre-installed. This update is only now being made generally available. If the issue is secific to the CalDAV implementation in GDR2 rather than specific to my phone only, this would make a lot of angry people. I hope I'm wrong on this though as it's an extremely frustrating problem.

  • Why did the RSS indicator in 'top sites' stop showing?

    Since upgrading to Safari 4, top sites has been amazing.  I particularly like how each top site has it's own RSS indicator to display when new content is on that particular website.  However, in the past few weeks these have completely dissapeared.
    Does anyone know why that may have happened, and how to get them back?
    Thanks.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
    Quit then relaunch Safari. See if that helps.
    Empty your Safari cache more often.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

  • Opening a new tab in safari opens an untitled tab while replacing the existing tab with top sites

    When I open a new tab in safari, it opens an untitled tab while replacing the existing tab with top. Then if I have other tabs open, the website url of the page I was on before I opened the untitled tab freezes and is shown on each other tab.
    How can i fix this problem? It is starting to occur with increasing frequency.

    I had the same problem and I suspect you are using Glims. I uninstalled Glims and voila, problem gone. I reinstalled Glims and the problem returned.
    Link to Glims uninstaller for those who have this problem http://www.MacHangout.com/dwnlds/Glims-UnInstall.dmg.zip
    I'll report the bug and hope they fix it soon, I like Glims.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
