Safari keeps losing my preferences and removing icons from my toolbar

I am using Safari 7 on my 13in Aluminium MacBook (late 2008) running OS10.9. I add icons to the toolbar and add a homepage - but thesekeep disappearing

Might be corrupted webpageicons and preferences ...
For the webpageicons ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db
Click Go then move the WebpageIcons.db file to the Trash.
Now type or copy and paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari.

I clicked 'something' on the 'house icon' (home page) and removed it from the toolbar. HOW do I get it back up there??

up in the right hand corner there was an icon of house (home page icon)
I clicked...it said 'remove from toolbar'...
not knowing it would remove the HOUSE..I clicked it.
It's gone...how do I get it back?

It is possible that you opened the right-click context menu and clicked the "Remove from Toolbar" item or the "Move to Menu" item.
The former moves the toolbar button to the Customize palette and the latter moves the toolbar button to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list.
You can restore the Home button to the Navigation Toolbar via the Customize mode.
If you can't find this button then click Restore Defaults at the bottom of the Customize palette window.

How do I add and remove icons from my Mac Air desktop?

i downloaded Abode Acrobat and it left an icon on my Mac Air desktop. I would like to remove it. Also, how do I put an icon on the desktop for ready reference later?

1. Drag the icon to the Trash.
2. Drag the icons there, with or without pressing the Option and Command keys while dragging.

I keep losing my history and tabs when I close. I don't have any boxes checked in the privacy section to do so. My tabs also don't show the icons.

I keep losing my tabs and history and I have it set in FF to save my history. It doesn't happen all the time just randomly but still annoying. I read all the help and everything that they said to check was fine. I also don't get the icons on every tab like I used to. some have it some don't. I have a tab up for Yahoo and it used to show the Y and now just an empty box. but Facebook shows the F.
I can live without the tab icons but it is really annoying when I lose all my history and tabs.

Firefox > Tools > Options > Privacy > History
Firefox will "Use custom setting for History"
Keep until "They Expire"

My imac keeps losing ISP, INTERNET AND SERVER but still has WIFi

my iMac keeps losing ISP, INTERNET and SEVER but is still connected to the Wi-Fi and when I tern on the mac i have to connect it every time and it is on preferred net work its the Olney one then after I connect it works for about 20 min then stops and I got to network preferences and click on ASSIST ME - DIAGONSTICS and it shows ISP INTERNET AND SEVER ALL IN YELLOW.

Open System Preferences Network pane. In the sidebar, if you see things you do not use for networking, remove them (you can add them back later if they are ever needed). For example, if you don't use Bluetooth or FireWire for networking, remove them from the list of networking services. To do this, select the item on the list and click the minus sign at the bottom of the sidebar. You can leave Ethernet on the list.
NOTE: Bluetooth and FireWire networking is not related to their use for connecting devices.
Also, click on the gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar, and select Set Service Order. Make sure Wi-Fi (or AirPort for older Mac OS X) is at the top of the list.
Apply the change (and maybe restart your Mac as well). See if that makes any difference.

Remove collapse and expand icons from tray header

Hi all
Is it possible in any way to remove the collapse and expand icons from the tray header, and have the menu icon aligned with the end of the underline?
Uploading a transparent gif does'n help, because the collaps and expand icon has the same width and heigh as the menu icon. Thus if I upload a transparent gif, and the width of the icons is set to 14px, the menu icon is not aligned with the line which underlines the whole header. There is 14px of blank / transparent.
Removing the menu icon is easy, all I have to do is deselect all the 'show xxx' options in the iView editor.
It should be possible to remove the collaps and expand icons, and still be able make it look good.
Has anyone else had this problem??

Amit,
Thank you for replying twice, much appreciated.
I am sorry for my late response. Thank you for the tip, but as far as I can see this is related to SP 15. We are currently on SP13. I should have of course have mentioned which SP in my problemdescription, and had we been on SP 15 I would have tried this solution.
Anyway, points rewarded for being helpful.
Markus,
I did not find a solution for our problem. However during this summer our customers have decided that it was not very important to remove this icon, so I have left it. I hope the suggestions from Amit and Prem can give you some tips if you have a similar problem.
Prem,
as far as I understand you are suggesting to override the jsp for the iViews-trays, like you suggested for the detailed navigation? Anyway, it sounds like a good idea, and worth a try. But, as I mentioned above, we have deceided not to remove the icon. However, it sounds interesting, and I would like to investigate these possibilities when I have the time. points rewarded for being helpful
Kind regards,
Reidun

TS1398 My ipad3 seems to have connection issues. It is wifi only but keeps losing the connection and is really slow in loading pages - a bit like dial-up speed! My iPhone 4s and daughters' ipad2 have no problems at all. Any ideas anyone?

My ipad3 seems to have connection issues. It is wifi only but keeps losing the connection and is really slow in loading pages - a bit like dial-up speed! My iPhone 4s and daughters' ipad2 have no problems at all. Any ideas anyone?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

IMac keeps losing ISP, internet and Server but still connected to wifi

My Imac keeps losing ISP, Internet, and Server but is still connected to the Wifi. To recnnect, I have to go into Netwrok Diagnostics - assist me. This is happening every twenty minutes or so (sometimes less). Can anyone help? I might add that we have recently moved house and never had this problem before.

Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always. In no particular order:
Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
Change the wifi channel on the router
Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
Reboot the router
Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion:

But button kept showing that stupid copy and paste icon so I kept pushing the button . Well I ended up sending $3.85 three times . How do I get the upgrades out or how do I fix my iPad ?

What does this have to do with iPhones much less using them in an Enterprise environment?

Deleted phone, mail, safari, and ipod icons from 3g iphone.. Help!

Granddaughter deleted phone, mail, safari, and ipod icons from 3g iphone. How do I get back? Have restored to factory settings and done restore and they do not show up. Help.

I did just discover one way to get the missing icons back :
go to Settings:Reset (at the very bottom)
select
Reset Home Screen Layout
that will restore your missing icons, where phone, mail, safari and ipod are on the mail home tab.

Safari keeps losing my preferences and removing icons from my toolbar
