Top sites wont save on Imac?

Hey - recently my imac stopped saving top sites. I do the normal thing, and save the UrL/website to top sites, make sure it's pinned etc - all the right things as I have in the past. It stays in top sites until I quit Safari, then disappears, adn I have to keep re-doing. Anyone know why?
Thanks!

Pinned Top Sites Not Pinning

So I've just installed Safari 5.1 on my Windows 7 64-bit. And I have to say, I absoultley love it so far, except for this one dilemma I'm experiencing. Everytime I pin a site onto 'Top Sites' and then close the browser, when I open Safari again the site is gone. But, it's only having trouble with one site, the other sites I've pinned stay pinned. Can someone please help? All other answers I've seen online unfortunately result into installing a new browser. In which, I've already tried Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Opera and none of them work with my needs. Also, do you think it's the site's issue or Safari's?
Thank you in advance
P.S. I've also tried re-installing Safari, but the problem is still the same

Hey guys.
Need to join the desperate team. My Top sites wont allow any other manually added site - it will get deleted right after i restart safari.
I have checked the other forums where were suggestion for binning the com.apple.safari and top sites plist - doesn't work. Standard cleaning procedure like emptying cash, reseting safari or not too standard binning some preferences files - not working. None of them is in banned sites - i binned it also
I need to add its a new thing because it was working until last week. Maybe some updates could damage something, though i can remember any new updates in last two weeks. Please be geeks, find the answare, it was very cool feature and its pitty its not working.

Safari Top Sites Blue Stars Missing

As of yesterday, Top Sites no longer shows the little blue stars when a page is updated. I can force them to appear if I quit Safari and restart it, but they won't update on their own as they used to periodically, even though the thumbnails still update. I tried using time machine to replace the app file and preferences from several days ago, but this hasn't solved the problem. Any ideas?

IMac screen flashes black and white when returning to top sites or screen saver

iMac screen flash black and white when returning to top sites or before sleep...any ideas why?

Howdy OatsaMae,
It sounds like your screen is flashing unexpectedly on you for some reason. I would recommend this section from the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Please change the view in the top sites, the 6.1 upgrade has reverted back to a plane two dimensional view, which is a little plain. Can I revert back to an older version via my time capsule save?

How to save a web site to the top site page

how do you save a web site to the top site page

click and hold the favicon symbol of the website
drag to top site symbol in your bookmark bar

Why don't my top sites save?

Every time I try to save my top sites, they disappear once I move out of Safari. I drag the URL into the topsites box as it states and they appear. But once I leave the safari page they are no longer there and it has reverted to the default sites on purchase. I ma brand new to Mac so please keep it simple!

I'm guessing you mean some other tweens that aren't in the attached FLA? (there are shape tweens in that FLA, so they appear to be saving fine). I did hear about someone believing that their shape tweens weren't saving, but what was actually happening is they were moving them to a new motion layer (which isn't supported - you can't have classic motion tweens or shape tweens on those layers). Is that perhaps what's happening instead?

What has the Apple support team done to the Top Sites screen? I just accepted an automatic update to be downloaded to my iMAC, and as a result of this "fix installation" the layout of the Top Sites screen has been terribly "destroyed"! What's the idea?

If you are referring to the non-panorama , but rather the flat look, well that's what they did.

Top sites will not save in Safari

I've tried to change a couple of my top sites in Safari. I'll pin them as permanent, but if I quit safari or restart my computer a couple of sites will be replaced. I've tried to troubleshoot the problem through some info in the discussion board, but have not had any luck. I was able to clear out all of my top sites by deleting the topsite.plsit file and resaved all of the top sites I wanted. Yet, I'm still having this issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Safari
Click Safari in the menu bar and select "Reset Safari".
In the window that opens up select "Top Sites" and click "Reset" button at the bottom.
Best.

I have top sites as my place from which I log on saves having too many buttons on the tool bar - I have now got four rows of 7 can I put more if so how -

I am not good at organizing - I have on my Top sites - which I see when I create a new Tab
Is four rows of seven the limit - or can I add another row - it there actually a limit - sorry I am not good at this
Hoping someone can be pleased to assist

I don't know whether there is a limit, but 5x7 seems to work if I try that. What I did was modify the number of rows and columns this way:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtabpage.rows''' preference and change from 3 to 5, then click OK.
(4) Double-click the '''browser.newtabpage.columns''' preference and change from 3 to 7, then click OK.
You should be able to verify the results immediately by pressing Ctrl+t or clicking the new tab ("+") button. How does it look?
(To me, they're too tiny, but you may have a bigger monitor...)

Safari won't make Google my default search engine. + Top Sites issue.

hello
I am running 10.9.5, latest iMac, latest Safari.
Here's my issue. Safari won't make Google my default search engine.
I switched it in preferences, and it says the default search engine is 'Google', as well as saying it even saying 'Google' in the Toolbar text field.
However the results always come back in Yahoo. I've tried resetting Safari, opening and closing the app but no luck.
Also I have it set to show 24 Top Sites, but it only displays 12 and it's been stuck on the same 12 sites for 2 days.
I'm assuming these two might be related as they are both preferences which stubbornly refuse to save as defaults.
Any one else having these issues? Anyone know how to fix?
Thanks!
;D

"Top Sites" capability GONE after upgrading to Safari 4.0.3

In a nutshell:
I've been running Safari 4.X June 09 with Top Sites becoming a key tool in everyday use, and a cool one at that. Top Sites worked on 15 August, did the minor rev upgrade from 4.02 to 4.03 on 16 August, and the Top Sites function is GONE on the 17th.
The rest of the story:
Upgraded to Safari 4.0.3 last night and to my dismay the TOP SITES function is now just GONE. No explanation, no warning, just "poof."
Read through the discussions, read through the support pages, took the immediate advice to reinstall...then tried the instructions for deleting select files under under com.apple.safari...et cetera...No Joy, 2 hours lost.
Read the discussions MORE CLOSELY and found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3410
"Safari 4: Top Sites, Cover Flow features require compatible graphics card"
So Let me get this straight...I accept a minor rev upgrade, from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3, and LOSE functionality? Really, guys?
I lose the functionality, apparently, because the Intel GMA 950 is apparently not Quartz Extreme compatible.
Ok, then, riddle me this Batman: the support article above is dated June 2009. I've been running Safari 4.X since then with top sites working quite well under 4.0.2. My early adopted 2006 Mac Mini hasn't changed since it's manufacture.
What's going on? What am I missing? Anyone else seeing this?

P.S. From the Logs
Chipset Model: GMA 950
2009-06-11 16:59:26 -0600: Installed "Safari" (4.0)
2009-07-17 20:46:41 -0600: Installed "Safari" (4.0.2)
2009-08-16 22:44:21 -0600: Installed "Safari" (4.0.3)

Mikate,
Does your iMac have an Intel GMA 950 chipset? If not, then your comparison is not valid. If it does have the same chipset as my Mac Mini, then you may have eliminated a possibile cause. (same os + same chipset=reasonable assumption)
The central issues is still the loss of major functionality under a minor rev change.
What changed? The requirements for Top Sites to work? Then why did it work for me under 4.0.2? According to the article, Inel GMA 950 is not specifically named as supportable and therefore the function should not have worked at ALL when safari 4.0 was installed. NO Mac specific drivers from Intel at Intel's web site. Have NOT seen any under the apple support pages, but I could be missing them.
