I wish to remove "Show sidebar" and "Show Top Sites" from the Favorites Bar in Safari 7.0. How may I do so?

I aggree It's rather annoying that you can't remove these features when like me you never use them, however by far the most annoying part of this is that when you go into 'Customize Toolbar' you can actually add yet a second 'Show Top Sites' feature to the toolbar !! Even those people who actually want to use this feature don't require two of them. For crying-out-loud come on Apple, this has to be a joke right?!?

Why can't I click and open my Skydrive from the favorites bar in finder?

I am able to do this for Google Drive and also Copy, so I should be able to do the same for Skydrive.
So how come I cannot click on Skydrive in the favorites bar in finder? I can click on everything else but when I try to click skydrive it is as if I clicked on the window outside of finder where it would be inactive. I want to be able to open my skydrive from finder (in favorites) so how can I fix this?
Please and thanks for any answers at all in advance

If I understand correctly you want the title to appear on top of a later video clip so both title and clip are visible. The problem is the "whites" background which is both making the background opaque and stopping you from pasting it above another clip. If you just select and drag the title by itself, the background will be transparent so the video clip below will show through. You should also be able to copy and paste it directly above the clip you want.
If you want different parts of the title to have a special effect you will have to edit each instance after you have made and positioned the copies.
I hope this helps - or have I misunderstood?

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

"Show Top Sites" panel, the blue box slow to highlight, activate

When I go to the Show Top Sites panel and hover over the Top Sites, the blue box that identifies that the Top Site is "active" is slow to activate -- sometimes 4-5 seconds. My iMac or other MacBooks are almost instand. Thoughts on what might be causing or how to correct? The other MacBooks and the iMac have the same software, are running Lion and Safari 6.0 and are all up-to-date.

Here's help to speed Safari up...

Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

How do I remove a bookmark that has a star from the awesome bar?

isn't there some way to permanently remove an entry from the awesome bar? This is also a very annoying problem. If a site is a bookmark then sure it can be deleted from the drop down list, but the next time you go to the awesome bar it is there again. I want to be able to permanently remove a bookmark from the awesome bar. Period. How the heck can I type in a site that is a bookmark that I do not want to appear in my drop down list in the awesome bar?

You need to understand my question.
As a user, I do not want to delete or eliminate all bookmarked sites.
On occasion, however, I only want to delete only a single or a few websites from their bookmarked status and stop them from appearing on the drop down list in the location bar.
So, for example, if I see in my drop down list:
Apples.com
Ardvarks.com
Airplanes.com
and all are bookmarked sites
and I just want to stop Ardvarks.com from appearing in my awesome bars' drop down list every time I enter the letter "A"
then that's what I want to do.
I do not want to stop Apples.com or Airplanes.com from appearing in the drop down list.
There must be a way to permanently stop Ardvarks.com from appearing everytime I look at the awesome bars' drop down list.

New tab page shows multiple sites from the same domain

For example in the grid of sites it may show multiple pages from e.g. stackoverflow.com instead of just the single base domain stackoverflow.com (or alternatively the most used of the pages). Is there any way to limit each domain to a single page in the quick links tableau? In my opinion having multiple pages is not at all a navigational aid as sites generally provide their own internal navigation.

This allows you to group the tabs as well [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/new-tab-plus/ New Tab Plus] however it is preliminary.

How do you uninstall the wireless service and lenovo battery indicator from the task bar.

Was wondering if there is a way to remove them from the taskbar. Initially I had just the battery indicator and then I downloaded all the lenovo updates (for bios, etc.) and got the wireless service indicator too. They seem kind of redundant to me, as windows 7 already has their own on the task bar and they're just taking up additional space.
I'd atleast like to get rid of the wireless service.
Will this effect anything? Are they that important?

Right click on the Lenovo battery gauge in the taskbar, click "Launch Power Manager", click Options, clear "Show Power Manager Gauge in taskbar" check box. If Options tab is not available, switch to Advanced mode (upper right corner of Power Manager).
Don't recall specifics for Lenovo network icon, but is probably just as simple. Would be better (IMHO) to get rid of Access Connections altogether.
Removing the icons will have no affect on anything, except your piece of mind from removing these ugly and redundant symbols of bloatware. They are NOT important.

When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

On a Mac, how do I setup Firefox to use Command+Enter to open a new tab from the address bar? Safari and Chrome do this by default.

I tried this extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/), but it doesn't appear to support editing the current "Alt+Enter" to change to "Meta+Enter" where Meta = Command on a Mac.
I want to switch to Firefox, but this is the one and only thing preventing me from doing so! I have a decade plus of muscle memory using the key next to the space bar + enter to open a new tab. Please help!

There is an older extension named keyconfig (last updated in 2011) which might be able to do it. I haven't used it for quite a while so I'm not sure how well it works any more.

Safari 'Show Top Sites' Image Glitch

Whenever I click on 'Show Top Sites' in Safari, after having numerous images open in Preview,
and after quitting Preview, I see a momentary glimpse of all the images that were previoulsy open
in Preview populate the thumbnails in Top Sites.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Safari 6.0 (24 Thumbnails in Top Sites)
Preview 5.5.2

Safari 8
There is no option available in the preferences settings to remove TopSites from the Favorites bar.
Best.

Anyone else have the favorites bar showing up on iPhone?

I Have looked all over to see if anybody else is having this same issue, but have found nothing. I have a very annoying issue where the favorites bar (also called the bookmarks bar) that is in Safari on the desktop or on the iPad in landscape mode, showing up on my iPhone (only in landscape). I have the 6+, running 8.1, and I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be there, because as I scroll down, and it goes into full screen, the text from the bar is persistent and is clickable. this also causes an issue where the selectable items on websites become off. I click buttons and nothing happens, but if I tap off to the side of it, then the button would work. I've added a screenshot

It looks like something happened to the pictures. (they were working) So i'll but them back up. also I have more news on this issue. I am able to reproduce the issue if I open safari on my iPhone while my iPhone is in landscape mode. If I open safari in portrait mode, then turn it to landscape mode, the favorites bar will not show up. I also think this might be somehow connected to how I set up my iPhone when I first got it. I did not have an iPhone before I got the 6+, but i did have an iPad mini running IOS 8. I "restored" my phone from an iPad backup. In the iPad, it has the option to use favorites bar in safari, and I did have that turned on. I'm not 100% sure this is the cause of my issue, but it something to look at if anybody else is having this issue. Because the iPhone is not supposed to support the favorites bar in safari, there is not way of turning off the favorites bar in the settings. I still have no current way of fixing the problem, But i was just sharing my findings and thoughts.

Delete the show side bar and top sites from Safari

I have never nor will I ever use the tabs for top sites and show sidebar which appear on Safari. How do I delete them from the tab bar?

Robert
aha! NOT tab bar BUT Bookmarks Bar! I guessed the TOOL bar at first. BOOKMARKS!
In the main menu bar choose [Help] > Safari Help
search " deleting bookmarks " > open that file
*in my version, it says "
You can’t remove the bookmarks bar or Bookmarks menu from the sidebar. You can’t remove History and All RSS Feeds, but you can delete individual bookmarks within them.
To remove Address Book and Bonjour from the sidebar, open the Bookmarks pane of Safari preferences and deselect them."
key to the bold statement is that one of the icons that you wish to disappear, may not not be removable. It is certain the 'Open Book' is there to stay.
I have personalized my Safari so much that I don't find your "Top Sites" folder or icon - If I removed it in the Bookmarks window, it would naturally disappear from the bookmarks toolbar - if you see it in the list, remove it and I'll bet it magically disappears from the Bookmarks Bar.

Show Top Sites and webpage at same time - Safari 8, Yosemite

After upgrading to Yosemite and Safari 8 I can't have the Show Top Sites/Reading List sidebar open anymore while I'm surfing the web. Every time I click on the sidebar it go to the Top Sites page. Is there any way to have the sidebar in Safari 8 work like it did in Mavericks where I could keep it open at all times, no matter what page I'm on? I have a 30 inch monitor so screen real estate isn't a problem for me. I'd much rather have all my bookmarks visible to me on the left side of Safari at all times rather than have to click on a folder and open them that way.
I don't want workaround like, "Use the Bookmarks bar." either. I have lots of Bookmarks and many of them are better suited in a folder and the Bookmarks bar hides items in folders, this the problem I am trying to solve.
Thank you for your help!

I have figured out how to do this. I was clicking on the Show Top Sites button located in the Favorites Bar (called the Bookmarks Bar by me earlier) but there's a separate Sidebar button located next to the Back/Forward buttons.

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

The upper part of the page is not opaque, and the desktop shows through. Thus, the menu bar is hard to read. How to remedy this?

The area behind the menu bar and the line above it, all the way across to the minimize, maximize and close icons is not opaque and the desktop and desktop icons show through. There is nothing I can find in Firefox Help to change this. Also, it would be nice if the menu bar could be made larger and more visible -- and if I could delete "Yahoo!" from the menu bar, leaving just the important items (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help). Any suggestions?

See:
