Top Sites Navigation Question

I see that Cmd-Clicking a Top Site opens that page in a new tab, while Opt-Cmd-Clicking opens the page in a new browser window. In both cases however, the original Top Sites page remains the active, frontmost one.
Just curious:
Are there alternate key-combinations which cause a Top Site to open in a new tab AND have that tab become the active one, or which cause a Top Site to open in a new window AND have that window become the active one?
Thanks,
John Bertram

Hi John,
In Safari preferences > Tabs, is the 'When a new tab or window opens, make it active' checked?
Edit: If you don't want to enable that, hold down the shift key with the others to make it active as well.

Site Navigation Question and Help

Hoping there is a simple solution to this problem. I'm a designer, not programmer so I'm pretty clueless in that regard.
Here's what I'm attempting to do.
I've managed to create an animation in Edge Animate and everything works fine.
I imported that animation into Muse so that it plays on the Home Page. Everything works fine there as well.
I have a Nav Bar for the 4-5 other pages (as well as the Home Page) and everything functions well there also.
What I'd like to do is have the animation play to the end when the user opens the home page (which it does and it's very short) but when they return to the home page after visiting other pages, I would like the animation not to play, but return to the last still frame of the animation.
Hope this makes sense and I'm hoping that it's a simple fix.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I believe the only way that could be done is to add some javascript to your edge animate animation that would place a cookie on the users computer and have the animation to go to last frame if cookie exsists.
Other than creating a duplicate home page with just the last frame as a graphic in place of the animation and have all your internal homepage links link to that. However, it may not be a good idea for Search Engines to have duplicate content.

Questions on privacy and safari, browser history; top sites; private browsi

In one thread someone suggested that those concerned about the privacy of their web browsing and its history try Private Browsing. What are the consequences of Private Browsing? Does Private Browsing interfere with some of the web page features or javascript from working when I'm trying to access a page that has java or Flash? Will my bank's website load ok etc? I guess I was a little worried it would stop the showing of the last page visited and if so then hopefully that won't stop some sites from functioning.
Is Private Browsing the best way to go all around for those concerned about privacy loss in Safari or does it not really help much? I wonder why it isn't the default.
I want to be able to use my browser to access sites that don't load well when I use Firefox with NoScript, such as bank sites, but I do not want my browsing history to stay in view constantly, and I'm also upset at seeing it want to "learn" my browsing habits and try to suggest sites for me without my setting it to do this.
For this reason I will be setting Firefox or any other browser I feel is more private than Safari, possibly Camino, to be my default browser. I will probably only be using Safari when a site won't work without it, same as when I used to settle for Internet Explorer on my windows computer when Firefox didn't work.
I'm also concerned that I can't get that Google search bar out of my browser. I don't want Google keeping tabs of every site I visit. I'm not sure if Google has access to tracking every place I go if I never put any text into the Google search bar or how far into bed with Google Apple has now gone but I'm afraid of the privacy invasion possibilities.
Perhaps Google gets no info if I do not type anything into the google search bar. I wish I could drag it off the menu bar however. (If I want to go to google, I know how to type google.com for crying out loud).
I hope Apple will hold the line on its partners re: privacy in products like iPhone and Safari that work with its partners regardless of their tendencies to disrespect privacy.
Does anyone know if the fact that this Safari software wants to learn what my favorite sites are affects outside parties including Apple, Google, and/or others possibly getting access to info on my browsing habits?
If i allow the Top Sites page to work, will it just be something I MYSELF have access to the info on or are the URLs of my favorite sites reported to Apple, Google, or others?
Does hitting RESET clear things out in this regard? I'd like to use these tools if I could be sure that using Safari doesn't turn the computer into a spyware tool for outside entities, commercial interests and governmental interests to mine data from.

Hello r:
If you think Safari, Firefox, or anything else will mask your browsing habits from someone who really wants to know, you are not being realistic.
I tend to discount justifications of privacy encroachments I sometimes encounter to the effect of "snooping is done by certain commercial and governmental parties as the way things 'just are', so shut up and don't worry". Customers who do not air their concerns and questions cannot have any expectation that the developer will be aware of their concern if they sit mute.
I sometimes pay for additional software to protect my privacy. I also use Firefox with Noscript and adblocking third party software rather than just sit with what the big corporations leave me with; there is a third party program for Safari I tried called PithHelmet for example, but then it seemed to not be loaded with the new Safari update and its developer dud not provide me any communication (although I got help here on how to find the program so I could remove it); so I may not use Safari as much compared to whatever browser I find has better privacy and security measures.
If you go to the Safari help menu and enter +"private browsing,"+ you will find a complete description of what that function does for you. In answer to one of your questions, it is not a default because one loses a good deal of functionality. I would be most perturbed if that was made the default.
Ok, I will try to learn the functionalities lost, thanks.
You can set the history to be deleted after one day (or longer). If you are concerned, it is quite easy to clear history before you sign off.<</div>
I've been using RESET to clear my history in the past; I assume it still works although Reset doesn't seem to permanently make certain cookies with future expiration dates go away permanently, which I find come back later even without my visiting a site for weeks and this was happening in the previous version of Safari too.
You can remove the Google search box (or anything else) from the menu bar. Right click on it. One option is +"remove item."+
That doesn't work in terms of just removing the Google search bar at the top right, I see.
I did not want to lose my blank for typing a URL; I only want the thing out to the right that says Google on it, which seems to use Google's search engine to go away. I certainly hope that every time I type a URL into the blank at the left top (which is not the part over to the top right that says Google and a magnifying glass) that I'm not having Google track my URLs I visit like they would if I put a search term into the blank at the top right, but maybe it does since the two are forcibly linked.
I guess I'd have to try Command L - Open Location in the Find menu if I want to try to go to a URL without using the URL blank at the top left I normally type in. I would only want to go to that trouble if typing in the top left blank for URLs results in Google tracking my URL visits like they certainly would if I typed in the top right google tool bar and hopefully Open Location does not result in the same issue.
if i allow the Top Sites page to work, will it just be something I MYSELF have access to the info on or are the URLs of my favorite sites reported to Apple, Google, or others?
I seriously doubt that Apple (or anyone else) is "reporting" anything about you to anyone. As you are no doubt aware, most web sites store cookies on your system when you visit that site. The information stored varies, but you can, of course, block cookies if you wish.
I have the ability to block cookies, and I use Noscript a lot too with Firefox (although that set up does not always work with a few webpages here and there, so sometimes I have to use Safari or Camino). I use Safari less and less because there is no Noscript type of third party software for it. The only time I feel I have no choice but to use Safari on my Mac is when I go to my Mobileme account.
My concern is of Top Sites "learning" my favorite sites and displaying to me the names of a lot of suggested URLs, as to who else is receiving that data; hopefully no one. Maybe I'll get to where i find info explaining that Apple and Google aren't collecting data about my "top sites" if I use that feature.
It's just that there has been an increasing amount of privacy intrusion in the commercial realm combined with a corporate arrogance in terms treating consumers as though there is no need to make any assurances or explanations to consumers to help them trust the privacy. Instead we get browbeaten by various parties about how stupid or obvious we are if we ask a question to remind the corporation it's an issue to those of us who want to feel comfortable with the privacy of the software we use.
I'll try to use the Feedback form to ask as well.
At the risk of stating the obvious, it is quite easy to find out all sorts of information about an individual if one is interested. If you are really concerned, I suggest you severely limit your use of the Internet.
I may well limit my use of the internet if what you say is true that there is no way to do any reading on the internet without being spied on by commercial and governmental interests.
thanks

Navigating top sites on Yosemite

How can I navigate to my top sites from another already opened page in Safari 8.0 (OS X Yosemite)?
On Mavericks I was able to tap Top Sites button whatever page in Safari I was visiting.
But after the update I can't do it.
The only way I can see my Top Sites is by opening new window/tab.
Am I missing anything?
Or any other suggestions?

Hi,
NO, that is not available anymore in Mavericks.
I liked the panorama view to.

SharePoint Foundation - Site Navigation

Hi,
I'm trying to set the navigation in SPF site so the top bar will show dropdown menu, and the subsite will show the same navigation as parent site.
1. when create sub site define that its navigation will be as parent
2. Edit root site navigation - heading and links in root site - and select "Oslo" layout in "Change the look"
Root site seems ok and show the top navigation with dropdown - but subsite no... what's the solution? is it a bug?
keren tsur

Hi Keren,
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I tested in my SharePoint Foundation environment as below:
In the root site, go to site settings > Change the look > select "sea monster", and it displayed dropdown menu for subsits.
New subsite and make it use the top link bar as parent site.
Then I accessed the subsite, it displayed as default looking in blue color and the top link bar didn't change.
It seems like the navigation displays per the theme since there are other themes which will not display drop menu for subsites. In addition,I didn't find the "Oslo" theme in my "change the look".
Thanks for your understanding.

How to disable Top sites icon in Favorites bar?

I have upgraded to Mavericks and there are two issues that make me regret the move. The first is small sounding but it makes me so angry I can't see straigh. In a Google sort of way, the new version of Safari foists upon me that miserable button - the top sites icon - as if to say "haa haa ... we know what is good for you". I want it gone! It used to be an option you could uncheck in the preferences ... but unless I'm missing something (I sure hope so!) Apple decided we should not have the option. Please tell me there is some way to get rid of the icon ... and better yet to disable somehow the whole top sites thing. I despise it, and I despise that someone tells me what I must have and how to work.
The second thing is the bookmark sidebar. I've always like how it works in safari. Now for some reason, as oposed to before, when you have the side bar slide into place so that you can select the bookmark - it stays there! Why? I want it to disapear after I click on a bookmark as it always has. I don't want to click again each time to make it go away. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior? This was in the beta of mavericks and I was not going to upgrade over the "feature". In the demo however I caught that a presenter clicked ... and the bar slid away, the way I would like it to. Now that I have mavericks ... it does not work as in the demo on stage.
So ... anyone ... is there a way for me to fix these two irritations?
I'm going to wait a month or so to see how Mavericks direction develops. I've always disliked Chrome because I don't trust they security and their proclivity towards tracking. I haven't cared for Firefox much neither ... mostly due to the way they render fonts. I will not use Safari if I can't change both of these features ... so I guess (because I suspect it is a case where apple knows what is good for me) that I won't be able to set up safari to not annoy me ... so my last questions is a recomendation for a replacement browser. What are your favorite browsers aside from Safari?
Thanks.

Well after a few more days with Mavericks I have to say I'm fairly impressed with it. Both laptops seem to have better battery life, and ... is it my imagination ... but they seem faster too? Not bad.
On the Safari problem I have, so far, made no headway, so I would be grateful for anyone who can come up with an answer. Perhaps the drawer sliding out and then back after you click your bookmark has a command line solution? I wonder how to investigate that?
As slick as Safari is (It has long been my favorite browser) I've been looking for a replacement. I won't consider Crome because of the afforementioned Google practice of monetizing "us' and our data. I don't trust em!
I dowloaded Opera ... and found that they have the same ideas in spades, about Top sites, that Apple seems to be adopting. What a shame ... and a no-go.
Then I started a trial with iCab. Now that is one nice browser! First impression are very possitive but there is the same top sites icon sitting there, with no obvious way to zap it. WHAT is going on ... does everyone havet to jump on the same (often hated) feature? I sent an email to the developer, expecting little but hoping just a bit anyways. Guess what? About forty five minutes later I received a reply. Wow, now that is nice!
My first impressions of iCab are very positive. I, however have the
same problem. There is a top sites right in the favorites bar. Can
this be disabled? I have not yet found a way to do this.
You can turn off this icon in iCab. Please enter "settings:" (without the
quote characters, but including the colon) in the URL field and hit the
"return" key. This will open some additional settings where you can configure
some more stuff. In the section "favorites toolbar" there's a setting to
show or hide the TopTen icon in the favorites toolbar. Just switch this
option off and click on the "Save Settings" button.
Alexander Clauss
..... So problem avoided. I'm going to spend the twenty dollars to register iCab even though one does not really need to. With responsiveness like this ... well, I want to keep it.
So that is my progress up until now. Not much on the original quest ... if you count nothing+hope as merely "not much". Still hoping. But having choices such as iCab and probably others ... sure did make me less grumpy.
I know I should perhaps just chill out. Life would sure be a bit easier if I had it in me to not care about these little details, I know. Having it perfect, perfectly elegant and perfectly customizable - that's tough.
On the other hand. This is Apple. Isn't it?
Cheers!

How to make top level navigation not refresh

Hello Guys,
I have a question concerning on my External Facing Portal, my boss wants that when I click on a tab or a link in the Top Level Navigation , to load the content in the Content Area without refreshing the whole page, What I want is that when I click on a tab or link of the Top Level Navigation , the Top Level Navigation and the MasterHead not to refresh and that the content be loaded and refreshed only in the Content Area. The only way I know to do this is by making a frameset of my page and to make the masterhead and toplevel navigation a frame and the detalied navigation a frame and the content area a frame, and in the links to put the target property to the name of the content area frame, but I don't know if this is possible to do in the portal, I see that all is embedded and I don't know how to make a frameset like this in the portal.
Any highlights to solve this will sure be appreciated.
Thanks
Rewarding points will be given.
Luis

Hi,
When you are implementing External Facing Portal, i think you have used Light Framework Page. In Light Framework Page, only one Framework has been used, so when you click on the top level navigation, the whole page will get refresh, so there is no otherway as of my knowledge. If you use standard framework page in portal, it is possible to do (i.e. the content area only get refresh) and the concept of your External Facing Portal is eliminated here.

List View webpart from subsite to Top site shows random error "List Does not exist"

Hi All,
We have a list in subsite and we are creating a view for that list which we are showing in one of the top site home page. We have taken care of changing the web and list guid of list view webpart when we added on top site. Its working fine but some time
shows error "list does not exist" but when we refresh the error goes. Is it known issue or if there is any workaround for this? because we cannot go live with this random error.

WPC on Portal 7.3: Area in top level navigation

Hi,
We are trying to set up a site using Web Page Composer on portal 7.3, but we are not able to display the area in the first level of the navigation.
Let's say we need following structure in the navigation:
Departments
-- HR
-- Trading & Supply
-- Finance
We want the content managers of our site to create extra departments without sending an area connection request to show the new department in the navigation.
Is it possible to create an Area Departments, link it to a role by creating a connection and use this connection as an entry point?
I've tried to edit the connection and mark "departments" as entry point, but it's not appearing in the top level navigation.
kr,
Joachim

Hi,
An area cannot be the first level of navigation. When you publish an area in WPC 2.0 it becomes a workset. Connecting the area to a role is similar to placing a workset under a role (the technicalities aren't the same, but that's the general idea).
Information regarding area connection can be found at:

All of my top sites thumbnails in Safari are blank

My thumbnails on the top sites in Safari are blank, but the links works perfectly.
I've followed the suggestion in this thread without any result: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18343208#18343208
Resetting the cache has neither helped. I don't know what to do.
I'm using:
OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Safari 6.0.2
Please see the picture.

Hi This is a bit late for an answer but I've just taken possession of a new MBP and was browsing the forums as I have a few issues too. On this topic my thumbnails werre all blank to start with but as I have used the sites they have slowly returmed until now they are fine. My issue is with Preview. I used to be able to combine PDFs after scanning but now? I'll need to post this question elsewhere methinks.
Hope things work out for you

10.6.1. top sites

Looks like they still haven't fixed this ..... after I'd sorted out my iTunes crashing problem, this seemed to be the only glitch, and still only on my iMac.

Yep - I just started having this exact same problem - going form top sites to some but not all (MacRumors, MacWorld, TUAW have problem; BBC ok) sites results in grey screen with coloured vertical lines. Seems as though once on the site no more problems, and navigating site to site direct does not cause problem. I only get lines when going from topsite.
Started right after 10.6.1 update.
Been through the few suggestions I found (permissions, install, plists) but nothing seems to cure this yet.

Content admin - iview not in top level navigation bar

Using my Administrator ID.
Also Portal Admin -> channel assigment not in top level navigation bar.
What role am I missing?

Hi,
The short answer to your question is that you need to add the relevant iView(s) and change the applicable role or iView properties to display in the areas necessary.
Generally you require the super admin role to structure other admin roles to the different types of admin roles in your enterprise with a default installation.
You could for example determine that your content admin receive more than just the default iView(s) applicable to them, and that you want those iView(s) to display as tabs, or only in the detailed navigational areas. This is a matter of personal preference and thus SAP allows you to customize this as you see fit.
I hope this helps.

Top sites background color in 6.1

So this is my third try to post this question today. It kept getting deleted because the moderators said it was an "unreleased product" when it was not. Now that I see many other posts about 6.1, hopefully they don't delete me for a third time.
Dislike the top sites in 6.1, but at least it wouldn't be so horrible if I could lose the horrible grey background color.
Anyone know of a way to change that grey background to black?
Thanks for any info
John

Yes, its just worse. And now it looks like Microsoft designed it. Just ugly fonts, cold overall feel and sharp edges. I am really sad of the turn Apple just made with its design. Making me rethink what I really need in my products now and if Apple is so necessary anymore.
