Star near website image in 'top sites'

I have safari for pc. In the top sites section, I sometimes get a star at the top right corner of the website image. What is it for?

It means that the site's been modified since you last went there.

Preview image of top site selected or enable through fox tab, doesnt shows up? Instead of preivew image of particular site its showing up blank?

I have assigned all top sites in the fox tab. It was working fine for two days. Later now it doesn't shows up the thumbnail image of each site. When i click the icon its redirecting to the particular site assigned to it. But i don't see the thumbnail image on it?

Do any one have an answer or solution for this? i have attached the screen shot of it. I have assigned nearly 7 to 8 top site but none of them shows up.

How to stop Safari 5.1.7 from saving previews of visited websites but keeping top sites previews

Hello,
Is there anyway to prevent safari 5.1.7 from taking previews from visited website only, and keep taking previews from top sites ?
Thanks

AFAIK, no.

Blue star no longer showing in Top Sites

My top sites page no longer shows the blue 'updated' starts in the corner. I have tried resetting just the topsites in 'reset safari...', but it just shuffled them all around and lost some favourites. It's becoming frustrating...
Can anyone give me some fix to this?
Thanks!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Go to ~/Library/Safari and move these files to the Trash.
History.plist
LastSession.plist
TopSites.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If you can edit TopSites now, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Top sites arrangement or websites not saved

Hello,
One of three users of my Macbook is unable to save any websites in his Top sites feature. The problem was already there with Safari 4.
I would have understood that bug if my two non-admin users were having the same issue, but it's not the case :/
That account is not blocked by a parental control.
Does anybody please have any kind of explanation, or better, any solution ?
Thanks all.

HI,
First, from the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache. Do that in all accounts. Then relaunch Safari.
Now go here for help with TopSites.

No stars in Top Sites

I no longer have stars indicating new content in top sites. I have reset Safari Top Sites, and deleted the Safari cache as recommended elsewhere in these forums to no avail. I moved the Safari plist to the desktop, as also recommended in these forums. After doing so, I had stars on three on my twelve top sites; however, one of these had not actually been updated! Further, two sites that I know had been updated still did not have stars! I tried again resetting top sites and deleting the cache and now I have no stars at all again. I still have the old plist on my desktop, so I cannot try moving the new plist to the desktop without replacing that one and, frankly, I don't know if that's a good idea or not! (I know I'm sounding like an idiot, but oh well!) I am running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.1. Don't know if you need to know this, but just in case it will help you help me: I have three accounts on my computer. The two accounts that get the most use both have this problem. The third account, which is hardly ever used, has the stars as normal. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

HI,
Go here: Safari 4 how-to: Top Sites Browser in a nutshell
"The white star on the blue background behind a curl that adorns some of the icons in the display indicate pages whose content has updated, offering instant identification of new content."
If the page hasn't had an update since you lasted opened TopSites, then there won't be a white star.

Why can't I change the Top Sites on Safari?

Seem unable to get Safari to save my website choices to Top Sites. I have tried deleting preloaded ones & loading and pinning my choices but reverts back when Safari closed down.

Hi ..
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 and try adding sites to TopSites.

Problem with Top Sites in Safari 8

After upgrading to OS X Yosemite I experience a problem with my Top Sites. I add a website to my Top Sites, mark it as permanent by clicking the blue pin - so far, so good. But once I quit Safari and re-open it, the marked Top Site is not shown anymore. Does anyone have a similar problem or does someone have a fix for that?

Having to hold down the command key obviates the ease of use where I used to just click with my scroll wheel to open several of the Top Sites in new tabs.

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 ?!

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.

After i designed a website for desk top how do i save the site for cell phone

after i designed a website for desk top how do i save the site for cell phone use

I don't think you can simply save a desktop design as a cell phone design. While in Muse and in the site plan view for you website you should see three tabs near the top of the page. If you click the "Phone" tab, you will get a pop-up dialog box asking which element you would like to copy over from your desktop site (if any). You must then design the site for cell phone use. You can use the same objects, pictures, etc. from your desktop site and Muse should automatically optimize those elements for phone use. However, Muse does not automatically take a desktop design and create a cell phone design from it.
As I understand it, Muse uses user-agent detection to decide which site it wants to display to the user. You however, need to create the different versions of your site so that Muse can apply a specific design for the intended use.

Before every time I use to open a new tab it comes as top site. Now not anymore and instead is an automatically website calle Only Search. I went to Safari preference I change everything and when I quit Safari all the changes are gone.

Every time I used to open a new tab it comes as top site. Now not anymore , instead it open in a website called Only Search, I went to safari preferences and made all changes but after I quit Safari and open again all changes are gone. I can not change anything and new tab comes by it self with other website.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Is there a way to display again the description field by clicking on the gold star near the url (useful to type memos about this site)?

In the previous versions of Firefox, when you click on the star near the url, you can add this website on your favorites. Another click and you can edit some fields about this bookmark, like the url, the folder, etc...
But with FF17, the Description field is no longer there. You can only find it when managing your bookmarks, that is not really user friendly.
Is there a way to add again the description field when clicking on the gold star? It's very useful for adding notes about this website, and it's also synch with addins like Xmarks

How can I add a website to Top Sites in Safari?

How can I add a website to Top Sites in Safari 7.0.1? Thanks for your help.

I figured it out. Go to the website you want to save to Top Sites. Click on Bookmarks, click Add Bookmark, a small window comes up saying "Add this page to: ", click the arrows for the drop down menu and click Top Sites and OK. Then your site will be added to your Top Sites. :-)
