My bookmarks are black, they used to be colored websites. How do I get the sites back?

MacBookPro, OS x Lion 10.7.5. My bookmarks are black.  They used to be colored web pages. How so I get the color back? I have the lists of my bookmarks but it's a hassle to go through that list each time I want to go to a bookmark, especially since being used to the nice color sites.

Thank you for that answer, but it doesn't work that way for me.
I go to quite a few websites daily, which are also saved in my bookmarks. However, the favicons are still black. Favicons are not added when I go to my bookmarked site.
To explain this better.... when I go to a bookmarked site I need to scroll down the printed list, OR I simply don't use bookmarks. Instead type in a favorite site in the address when I'm on a different web page.
To make this short, I am using bookmarks less and less because it simply isn't working and bookmarks without the Favicons isn't simple to use.
I've searched and found others who have the same issue, and one answer has been to re-do Safari.
There should be a better answer than that.
Anyone else know of a fix for this situation?
Why not use Top Sites? A perfect example of what it was designed for.

  • My icons on my desktop are white with an @ sign in them. How do I get the originals back?

    I have 2 questions:
    1.     How do I find out how much usable memory I have Left on my computer?
    2.     The icon on my desktop have a @ in them how do I get the original back?

    1. Open a Finder window and it will tell you how much free space you have on your hard drive - which I presume is what are referring to, memory is RAM.
    2. Try repairing permissions, then restarting.

  • Deleted icloud account and now names are gone in contacts only numbers shown.  How do I get the names back?

    I created an icloud account but my 2 kids shared the same itunes account.  I had the kids delete their icloud accounts from their phones.  My contacts and my daughter's contacts merged on my phone, when she deleted her icloud account her contacts no longer show names... only phone numbers.  How can we fix this?

    The only possible way that you could get it back is if the app is still in your iTunes library. If you don't sync with iTunes and it is not in your iTunes library, unfortunately, your version of the app is gone now.

  • I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine.  How do I get the network back?  It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

    See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You could also try a reset as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • How can I get the tabs back where they belong beneath the address bar , NOT on top ???

    how can I get the tabs back where they belong beneath the address bar , NOT on top ???
    they are on top, which puts the address bar at a variable position depending on how many tab rows exist - makes a moving target for navigating to across my dual 24 inch screens
    I tried your "solution" using about:config and setting browser.tab.on.top or whatever to false, but that had NO effect
    Maybe because TabMixPlus is installed?
    It does allow putting the tabs all the way at the bottom, but I don't like that either.
    PLEASE, give me the address bar at TOP with tabs under that!!!
    Also, I don't want FlashGot to be at the right of the address bar!!!

    why should we use yet another add on to get the tabs back at the bottom? Big mistake.
    Moreover, why make FF look more like Chrome? If I wanted Chrome, i would have installed it long time ago.
    FF 29.0 is NOT an improvement.
    Nasty piece of mud.

  • HT201359 If I didnt authorize the payment how do i get the money back. I do not use itunes

    I didn't authorize a payment for itunes. I do not use itunes. 12.88 was taken out of my account. How do i get the money back?

    First, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    If they are and you're sure you or someone you know didn't make the purchase, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. 
    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account and it will be up to your bank to handle.
    Regards.

    I have lost my photo albums on my iPad Although the photos are still there. How do I get the albums back?, I have lost my photo albums on my iPad Although the photos are still there. How do I get the albums back?

    It's version iPhoto '11. I sent the photos to the trash from in the resident iPhoto application, but not to the iPhoto trash, but the OS's trash in the bottom right task bar (Finder Trash).
    Realizing what I had done, I dragged the picture folder back into the "Pictures" folder under my name in the Finder. I also dragged the iPhoto Library file back, but it said a new one had been created... I still attempted to replace the new with old iPhoto Library file.
    The pictures are back and i can see the album names under events. The problem is that the album covers, nor the pictures themselves show up as thumbnails like they did before... they only show when you individually click on the photo to bring it into full view. I only see a grey background where the thumbnail was.
    Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?

    If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

    Check the account area of the iTunes Store window on the right to check the balance. You must use the credit remaining, no refunds.

    Also would like to know if the toolbar can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ?? Like the menu & bookmarks toolbar could/should fit on same line. This would add more page view...

    Thanks

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
    You can only move the content from a toolbar onto other toolbars if all toolbars support that feature. You need to check that in the options of each toolbar.

    Hi- apparently I also had a similar moment of madness and thought that 'freeride games' would be fun. Well, so much for that! It added a ton of things to my tool bar, I would like to uninstall it, any suggestions for this one?
    thanks :)

    Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:

    or sync them to your iPod via iTunes

  • HT204370 My movie is not downloading but the movie extras are, how do i get the movie back without re-purchasing it?

    My movie is not downloading but the movie extras are, how do i get the movie back without repurchasing it? I've tried searching through my available downloads but only the extras showed up not the movie. All my other movies are there including the extras from the movie. I really want the movie & I don't want to repurchase it if I can avoid it.
    When I tried to get it through my Purchased in iTunes - iStore it says
    " You have already purchased this item" 
    "You have alreaady purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Avaliable Downloads from the Store menu."
    Which leads me right back to having all the other tv shows & movies that aren't on my laptop downloading but not the actual movie I want. I already have the extras but I really would like the movie .
    Any help or advice would be appreciated
    Thank You

  • The text in a lot of my books I have downloaded in IBooks has disappeared. It is mostly the older books on my IPad.  The books are there but the text is missing. How do I get the text back?

    On my IPad, the books I have downloaded are there; however, the text has disappeared. It only happened with the books that were older. Any idea how I can get the text back on these books?

    Try closing the iBooks app. Press the home button to get to the home screen if you're not already there. Then double click the home button. Locate the iBooks icon at the bottom. Hold your finger down on it until a red minus appears. Tap the red minus. Press the home button to return to normal. Then relaunch iBooks.
    If that fails, delete the books, then you can redownload them under the Purchased tab in "Store."

  • TS1702 I synched my phone and now my apps icons are missing on my iphone. I can see them and open them if I go to the app store. How do I get the icons back on my screen?

    HELP, I synced my iphone and computer and now my apps icons are missing on the screen of my iphone. I can access the apps only through the apps store by pressing OPEN. How do I get the icons back on the screen for the apps?

    Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
    1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
    2. Click "Download in the app store"
    3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
    4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
    5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
    6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
    7. Disconnect the phone from the computer
    8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
    9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it
