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?

There is no option available in the preferences settings to remove TopSites from the Favorites 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 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?!?

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...

Also, insufficient disk space can cause everything to slow down.
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.*

Why does Safari's Top Sites open when I click on View in iTunes?

For some reason, whenever I click on a link in Safari that requires another application to open, (iTunes for example), now a new browser window opens to Safari's Top Sites page. It appears to have started after the recent update. Anybody else having this problem? Is there a solution?

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.

Safari 6 Top Sites doesn't update

In the previous version of Safari (5), under OS X Lion, the "Top Sites" thumbnails would be flagged with a checkmark when those pages had been updated. In Version 6, under OS X Mountain Lion, none of the "Top Sites" are being flagged when the pages have been updated. I don't see an option under Safari preferences to enable/disable the "Updated" indicator. Any suggestions for restoring this feature are greatly appreciated.
And, yes, I deleted the Safari plist file from ~/Library/Safari, and it did not make any difference.

If you dig into the Ressource folder in Safari's 6 Contents folder, you will find a .png named TopSitesUpdatedPageCurl, which is that familiar Update Star with its blue background.
Since this png is still to be found in Safari 6's innards, I venture to say that the Update Stars not showing in the Top Sites page is due to a bug, rather than a decision of Apple's to nuke this feature.
But who knows ?!

Certain Sites appear blank in Safari 6 Top Sites

When a particular https site tries to display in "Top Sites" in Safari 6 the image is black even though the site is a login page that displays fine before entering a password in Safari. Anything to do or a way around this? I note that the site url always adds an "auth.login.aspx" at the end. Is there any way to edit the TopSite image to not add that? I think it would solve the problem.

Might be corrupted preferences (.plist)
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy / paste: ~/Library/Safari
Click Go then move the TopSites.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Safari loading top sites despite settings

Hi team–
Running 10.9, with Safari 7.0. Despite having the following settings, when I open the Safari app without any other windows open it loads my Top Sites:
New windows open with: Same Page
New tabs open with: Same Page
Homepage: http://www.reddit.com/
Anyone know why Safari is doing this? This seems contrary to the settings I have for the app. Been doing this since the Mavericks upgrade.
Thanks!

Try resetting Setting's and reverting them back to the original ones, also check your Add-Ons and Extensions, see if there are any unusual things in there and if so remove them.
If I couldn't help I apologise but that's the best I got.
Hope I did help though!

Safari 5 Top Sites Rearranging Themselves after Quitting

Hello, all.
The thread title sort of says it all. Since upgrading to 10.6.4 and/or Safari 5, my Top Sites will rearrange themselves every time I restart Safari. Specifically, two sites are removed from Top Sites and I have to manually add them again.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on fixing it?

Greetings,
Have you tried this:
Quit Safari if it's running and open System Preferences>Network>TCP/IP.
In the DNS Server window, make sure IPv6 is turned off, and enter these two DNS servers to replace the ones you currently have:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
click Apply Now and quit System Preferences.
Next, do these things in order:
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites feature, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then repair permissions and restart Safari and see if the problem remains.

Safari not showing secure site images (blue question marks)

I have Safari 4 installed on my Windows laptop. I am having a problem viewing secure sites. All that appears is the text and then blue question marks where the images/tables should be. This is not a problem when using Firefox, Chrome, or IE.
This is also not a problem on my other windows computers nor on my Mac.
I've tried resetting Safari, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Safari, nothing is working.
Any idea how to fix this?

I too am having this problem. I cannot access my gmail, ebay, facebook, or other login sites. If I attempt to access any site that requests user and password information, a safari dialogue stating "safari can't verify the identity of the website "...."". So far I've assumed that all of my certificates are comprimised. I don't know how to delete my certificates to get new ones as this information is not posted anywhere.

My top sites images won't show

the pictures showing my top websites dont show the websites after installing lion

Your Template code is messed up.
Use the code validation tools below and fix reported errors.

Safari 7.1 When I click a hyperlink (to another site) I am taken to Safari's Top Sites page instead

I am using OSX 10.9.5 with Safari 7.1.
I have tried resetting Safari, restarting. It happens repeatedly. Does anyone have this issue and found a solution?

1. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn those off and relaunch Safari again.
    Turn those on one by one and test.
    AdBlocK?
2. If adware is installed without your knowledge,
    download free AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
     http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
   Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
   Once done scanning and removing the adware, quit the app by clicking AdMedic in the menubar
    and selecting “Quit AdwareMedic”.
    To use manual method try this.

Top Sites strange problem on xp

Hi, everyone.
I've got a very untypical problem with my Safari 4 on pc.
when I'm opening new window/tab, Safari shows Top Sites and this strange thing:
http://i39.tinypic.com/al6tlk.jpg
+En plus+ i don't see any star or thumbtack. Stripes are disappearing when I click a thumbnail, but site opens.
what can I do?
thanks for help.

oh, yes.
when I'm turning to 'small' or 'medium' thumnails, I can't see them in a half(medium) or I see nothing(small)
I noticed, that when i'm scaling the window's size, the same thing as in 'mediums' occuring.
the window smaller is, the thumbnails are bit by bit disappearing.

Problem with Top Sites in Safari 8.0.4

Hello:
I just bought a macbook pro, updated all software patches that needed to be done and tried to add my personal top sites in safari. I like to browse visually with them.
The problem is that I have a 12 icon grid. I have successfully done most of them but there are a couple of glitches:
Safari refuses to add my personal webmail site to the top sites http://webmail.velarde.com/
I add it, pin it.. in the place i want . quit safari, reopen and it;s lost.... I've done it lots of times... restarted the computer , erased safari's Top sites plist, etc...
It refuses to keep my site and also add the last 12 icon... I never loads anything there and won't let me add any site in the 12th position.... If I add it, it will dissapear and leave me a gap after I quit and reopen... All the 11 other icons are working as expected.
It's very strange... I know they are a couple of small issues but would love to fix it... This is the first time this has happened to me.
Thanks for any help

what I'm expecting is by doing a limitation in a lov, is that when I press the find button, the result reflects that previous limitatio.
The form I'm working is "Purchase Order Summary" in Purchasing module, and I want to a restriction in Ship-To field, for a certain profile condition.
So, when I do that limitation, the LOV of the field, shows the only possible Ship-To records, but when I press the Find button, the result is more than the expect.
I also tried to change the DEFAULT_WHERE but I also have had success
I really don't know if this is possible to do in the personalization, or if it better to use the custom.pll to do that.
Thanks
