V4 Top Sites & iWeb pages

My iWeb pages only appear as blank white sheets when I try to load them into Top Sites. Is this happening to you?

With a lot of wrangling, I have been able to get my iWeb pages to appears on Top Sites. Sadly, I can't explain what took place.

Changing Top Sites tab pages??

I can't believe this is the only way to get support for Android Firefox, but here goes: how do I change the pages shown on the Top Sites tab in Firefox on my Android phone? I erased the bookmark of the one I'm trying to change, "unpinned" it, restarted the app...and it's still there. I want to put another site in its place. I've looked through everything in "options" and can find nothing about changing the Top Sites. Please advise, someone! Thanks

Just '''HOLD''' on the Top Sites, then it show the option > Choose the "EDIT" to change the TOP SITES.

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.

Top Sites in Safari 6

how do i restore the new page content notification in top sites?

There's been several other threads about this issue and I'll repost what I found below, unfortunately its bad news for everyone wanting the Top Sites update site indicator to work with Safari v6 (which includes me).
The short version is that the Top Sites site update indicator (blue curl with white star) is not supposed to work in Safari v6.0 and its a "feature" of v6.0 (meaning its not supposed to work) not a bug - also means its not likely to come back.
The top sites web page update indicator uses the RSS functionality (yep the same one Apple got rid of in Safari v6) to tell if a page is updated or not, without RSS the page update indicator won't work - and part of this RSS functionality was actually integrated into OS X at the operating system level and was removed in Mountain Lion (this is why Safari v5.1.7 with RSS and top site indicator functionality crashes when launched on Mountain Lion...the backend RSS plumbing etc. that Safari v5.1.7 is expecting is not there).
Here's the page I found the information in the comments section about these details - serious bummer:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1168016/bugs_and_fixes_troubleshooting_mountain_ lion.html
As mentioned before, if you are running Lion, you can grab a copy of the Safari v5.1.7 package from Time Machine or another Mac (about 40MB in size and Snow Leopard did not get the v6 update) and copy it into a new directory (you create) in the Applications folder on your Lion Mac and it should run fine (with RSS and Top Site page update functionality...works for me). Be sure not to launch both versions at the same time as you could corrupt your user settings (since they use the same files for bookmarks etc.).
Mountain Lion users are stuck since the RSS functionality that the Top Site update indicator needs has literally been ripped out of OS X. Safari v5.1.7 will crash when launched in Mountain Lion because this backend functionality isn't there. For folks that are truly desperate, you could roll back (or reinstall) to Lion or Snow Leopard (although only Lion and Mountain Lion are getting system updates at this point) and then run Safari v5.1.7.
This is such a constantly used (the situational awareness of what page has been updated is so valuable) piece of functionality for me I will just run v5.1.7 for the time being (not a good long term solution since there aren't going to be anymore security updates for Safari v5.1.7, only v6...).
As far as I can tell other Browsers basically have what Safari v6 has, which is thumbnail screens of favorite sites with images that get updated (on some browsers - Firefox, Chrome?) and doesn't get updated on others (Opera) - but none of them has page update indicators like Safari v5.x. I wish one did have the Top Sites page update indicator functionality as I'd switch in an instant.
Total bummer watching this really useful and valuable feature get killed cause Apple wanted to strip out (web standard) RSS functionality from OS X and leaving the users in the dark about it all, as we try to figure out what happened. My sympathies to everyone who loves this feature as do I.

Safari Top Sites doesn't work (on my system at least)

Open a blank tab or window in Safari ... You get a browser window blank except for a grey history search box in the bottom right corner ... Try clicking the 'Top Sites' icon in the toolbar, and nothing happens (still the blank window with the search box)
Anyone else seeing this?

I'm seeing the same problem. Even though I've visited a few sites now, Top Sites is still, upon launch, an empty page with a search box at the bottom. As a matter of fact, clicking randomly in the blank, white area will launch a page, which implies that the top sites are "there" only not rendering. When I have a web page open (such as this one) and click on History > Show Top Sites, the page I'm currently viewing remains on the screen but its features, such as links, become unclickable. The "Search" box appears at the bottom of the page, rendered on top of the page I was viewing.
This is definitely more than an issue of a flushed cache.

.Mac "Start Site" not the top site in iWeb site organizer

My first iWeb site I created is for my family stuff. Mildly personal.
My next one will be more friends/work.
But, when I test out the iweb help entry that says the top site in the site organizer is/will be the start site, it does not hold true when I publish them.
The help says:
Your start site is the one that opens when you type this URL (address) into a browser (don't type the brackets):
http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]
To change your start site:
Drag the site you want to be the start site so that it appears first in the site organizer.
But, after I publish, the start site is still the old start site. Is this a timing/web cache issue? Or, bug? Or, how can one fix this?

It could be a cache issue, but I think this is less likely. Never hurts to emtpy your browser cache though. I have seen one other person who's sites are stuck like this. Couldn't tell you why. She is stuck using the long URLs to specify each site. Maybe this is a bug in iWeb. I don't know.
But here are some things you could try...switch the order of your sites again in the Site Organizer, publish, switch them back and republish. Or you might try a "Publish ALL to .Mac".
The object here is to get iWeb to generate new index.html files that redirect to your choice of a start page. For a little background, if you look in your iDisk inside the Web folder. There is a folder called Sites. Inside Sites, there is a folder called iWeb. Inside the iWeb folder you will see the first of two redirection index.html files. This first one is what allows the short URL to work...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/
Now if you open up the site folder inside the iWeb folder, you will see another index.html file among all the other files there. This is the second index.html file that redirects to the same start page as the first. This allows the "long" URL to be used...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/sitefolder/
I have seen situations where either one of these index.html files have not been generated or altered to reflect changes in the Site Organizer...usually the outer index.html file inside the iWeb folder. So anything that you can do to make iWeb publish new files should work....changing the order of your sites, erasing the files from your iDisk and republishing, changing the names of your sites, doing a Publish ALL. Try these things and see if your problem isn't resolved...
If you have found any of this information to be useful to you, please take the time to provide me with feedback by marking my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using those little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. I'd really appreciate it!

How do you add a "top of page" button to an iWeb page?

How do you add a "top of page" button to an iWeb page?

Two solutions:
The Easy One:
Create a Form (which will be the button) and add text to it or choose a picture from iphoto. Now give the form/picture a hyperlink to the same site. So now if you press the button, the site will refresh and start at the beginning/top
The advanced way:
1. Publish your site on the web (not just local). Copy the URL
2. Now create a Button like displained in the solution above. As Hyperlink you'll now have to set external site and paste the before copied link AND add the following at the end of the url: #widget0
3. Add a html widget to the top of the site.
4. The widget's content should be <a name="anchor"></a>
5. Publish your site again on the web and look wether it works.
This way won't work, if the created site is linked as an iframe.

Pages in iDisk - SITES - iWeb

In https://www.me.com/idisk/ - Home - Web - Sites - there are folders for my 3 websites.
And in https://www.me.com/idisk/ - Sites - iWeb - there are just titles of only some of the pages from one of my websites (the top of this column says 'iWeb Pages')
Have these in the iWeb folder got put there by some error I've made? Should/can I delete them safely?
Thank you.

I don't know what the original URL looks like.
The url for iweb 08 sites is always like this:
http://web.mac.com/username/sitename/pagename.html
I've tried
http://web.mac.com/scottgrabinger/iweb/sites/InsideTuscany
http://web.mac.com/scottgrabinger/iweb/sites/InsideTuscany/Inside%20Tuscany.html
.Mac urls never have "iweb/sites" in the middle. You can see that none of your other urls are structured that way. The thing to try would be
http://web.mac.com/scottgrabinger/InsideTuscany
which works fine for me.
I also get the "announcement" box that says "published to www.insidetuscany.org"
Just ignore the announcement box, it is not telling you anything that is relevant here.

Just upgraded iWeb app to version 3.0.4 from an iLife 11 disk. I like some of the newer features but it seems to have one glitch: when I upload the pages to my ftp server, the automatic navigation bar at the top of the page disappears. Any ideas?

Looks like a couple scripts are missing:
If you republish the entire site iWeb should recreate these for you...
I don't use the built-in navigation. I usually just create my own:

Top Sites page does not stay open after clicking New Tabs

I used to be able to click on “Open a new tab” and the “my top sites” would be available on that page. Now when I click on “Open a new tab”, “my top site” appears and disappears immediately; each and every time. However, if I open 2 new tabs and then go back and click on the 1st tab then the 2nd tab, “my top sites” are available. Also can I get my top sites as my home page?

There is this pref: browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground
But it doesn't have effect if you open links via the Library, it only works when opened via the browser window (menu, toolbar, sidebar).

Click on it and keep the mouse button pressed.
A list should appear, just select "Top Sites" ...
That's it !

How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

Do you meant a link to one of your other pages or to a location on one of your pages? If it's the latter those are called anchors and iWeb does not support them. However, there are workarounds for that. See this blog: How to use anchors in iWeb. If you don't have a lot of widgets on the page it can work fairly well.

If I am browsing on site such as Ebay or any shopping site, and click on an item, when I return to the search page I am once again at the top of the page and have to search down for where I was in the list of items.

If I am browsing on site such as Ebay or any shopping site and click on an item, when I return to the search page I am once again at the top of the page and have to search down for where I was in the list of items. This is not only on Ebay it is everywhere I search. Firefox goes back to the top of the page . It is annoying to have to figure out exactly where I was if I left the page and then returned. This is a hinderance when using Firefox. I have considered uninstalling it because of the inconvenience of 're-searching' after already doing a search. Firefox used to take me right back to where I was if I left a page, but that feature is not working now. I am not sure how to change this in the settings.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
