Top Sites and Safari bookmarks

iMAC with MAC OS X10.6.3; Safari 4.0.5(6531.22.7) approx. 18months old.
For about three months now I cannot delete bookmarks. Every time I follow instructions the bookmark disappears until the next reboot when it reappears.
A similar thing happens when I try to change a site in Top Sites; the change goes smoothly until the next reboot when the site reverts back to what it was before.
I really would appreciate any help in this trivial but frustrating matter!

Hi
Open Safari Preferences>Bookmarks. Uncheck Top Sites. The Show All Bookmarks Icon is part of the Bookmarks Bar. You would have to hide the Bookmarks Bar to get rid of it (shift/command/B), which may be more than you are asking for.

Https sites in Top Sites and Bookmarks

Can secure sites (https) be added to top sites, and/or bookmarks for that matter, and have their thumbnails appear?
if so how is that done?
is it a preference?
or
do you have to be logged onto the site so that the thumbnail will appear?

Well, please try this link in your internet explorer of Windows 10.

It doesn't open unless you put it as a trusted site.
However, in Firefox (or IE in Windows 8 or 7) it may open without any issue.

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.
let us know

Safari 4's Top Sites and Cover Flow is missing!

So I downloaded the new Safari beta and tried it out. Top Sites and Cover Flow was missing and I couldn't find it anywhere. I installed the latest graphics driver for my computer but still no top sites. Ugh - THE PAIN!
Specs: Windows XP Pro SP3, 75GB HD, 512 RAM, 96MB intel GRAPHICS.
Please answer!!

is your graphics card compatible with DirectX 9.0 and,
also do you have DirectX 9.0?
if you don't you need to get it, without CoverFlow and TopSite's don't work

Safari Apple start page, top sites and history blurry

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? I recently installed a new graphics card HD 6950 and I noticed right away that apple.com on safari as well as top sites and history browser is blurry. It's clear for a split second that slowly becomes blurry in about half a second. Every other site is normal and the video card doesn't have problems on games. Viewing apple.com on IE looks normal also. I've tried installing different drivers but still no luck. Here's a shot of what its like for me:

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. :-)

Top Sites at Safari Won't Stay

I only got this laptop for weeks and I can't figure out how to keep my picked top sites at Safari. I clicked the EDIT button and pushed the pin for all the sites I wish to be kept at top sites but they will run after I restart my laptop.
I read a thread about this same issue here and the user was told to remove the file, topsties.plist - at Home/Library/Safari. I tried to do the same thing but I couldn't find the file anywhere from my laptop.
Need help here!
Thanks!

You can always bookmark them too.

How do I remove top site preview from Bookmarks Bar

Last night received message from Safari asking whether or not to update Safari settings, which, in a pinch, unfortunately I did. I now have a top site preview in my Bookmarks Bar and I do not want it there. I have tried everything to get it out, including the most obvious: unchecking "show top sites" in Safari preferences, restarting Safari and computer. Also, going to Utilities, Terminal and pasting in script for command found searching on subject. Nothing works. Does anyone know how to get this top site window out of my Bookmarks Bar? I have spent a great deal of time on this and am quite frustrated as a result. Thank you.

Hi
so if you click/hold just above the 'address' text - or anywhere in that dark bluey-grey band above the column headings... you should be able to drag that upwards so that the site preview area disappears leaving only the dark search bar.
Maybe it's not that - I didn't mention it right away because that 'setting' is common to every bookmarks view/collection, rather than " The top site preview appears ONLY when I select "Show all bookmarks," and THEN select the Bookmarks Bar "
If not that, do remove the safari plist file - keep it safe & you can easily replace it with safari quit if there's no change. Safari will create a new, default version when it next starts.

How to change the Top sites in Safari 6.1 ?

the thing is, when I decided to update my Safari, it changed. I can't edit the Top sites because I can't find the oh-so-called 'edit' button.
so how can I change it??

This is how I did it using Safari 6.1.3:
Add the webpage you want to add to your Top Sites to your Bookmarks Bar by dragging the URL to the Bookmarks Bar.
Open your Top Site page and make sure your Bookmarks are open in your sidebar (View > Show Sidebar > Bookmarks)
Drag the webpage you added to your Bookmarks Bar in [1] onto the Top Sites page. The existing pages will move around and you can drop your webpage when you're happy with its position.
Hope it works!

How to edit the top sites on safari 7.0.1

The edit button that usually sits at the bottom of the top sites page in safari no longer exists and i can't figure out how to change my top sites or the amount of top sites displayed.

Safari 7
Top Sites Edit button is moved to top left corner the tile from the bottom left corner.
Hover the mouse pointer near the top left corner of the tile,
Edit button and the pin should appear.
Best.

How come some of my "top sites" in safari won't show the pages?

I had to restore my system and now some of the TOP SITES in safari wont show the pages and only show the black page. If I click on the black page, it loads the page, but it stays black in top sites. Any help would be nice thanks

It is probably just an artifact of restoring. Once you type their names into the url bar again, the sites and their last images will show up again in Top Sites.
I use an obscure method that clears all caches on every logout, and my top sites always comes up all black when I log in. It is not really a defect, it just does not have an old page-image to show you until you visit that site again.

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

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8?

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8 to open the selected website in new windows? I was able to do that in the last version of Safari before upgrading to Yosemite and Safari 8.

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.

My husband and I have done the recent update and we now share contacts and safari bookmarks. How do I go back to individual users?

Yes it is the same and it is greed out so it can't be changed there.
Go to Settings\Mail, Contacts, Calendars\Add Account (select iCloud)
You can create a new account here ("Get a Free Apple ID" at the bottom) or switch it to another existing account you may have (separate from your Husbands).
Once you tie your phone into the separate account you can go back and delete your Husbands on your phone.
