What can be done to force top sites to retain the ones I've pinned?

Running the latest versions of Yosemite and Safari (not the beta versions).
I cannot get the Top Sites to retain all the sites I've pinned.  I've got 2 spots left and no matter what I do *unpin" every site and add the 2 sites and then pin them all, do it separately, delete the preferences file for top sites, etc, the last two "spots" will not stay pinned.  I can pin them even one at a time, open up a new tab with Top Sites and the pinned site will be there.  Open another page and the newly pinned site is gone when Top Sites is opened in a new tab.
Any help???

Try a reset.
Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

  • I have upgraded my MAC OS to 10.6.8.  FCP 5.0 still runs great, but Soundtrack Pro 1.01 opens, but operates at a glacial pace.  It does not functionally operate.  What can be done to remedy this?

    I have upgraded my MAC OS to 10.6.8.

    Depending on the configuration of the computer hardware and software
    you may need to consider upgrade the RAM by installing more capacity.
    Also, in the same vane, choose to consider upgrade the hard drive to
    one of faster transfer, such as SSD, hybrid, or fusion; if not already at
    least 7200-RPM and not too full of saved content.
    Since no information is given about the model build configuration of Mac
    there may be other suggestions to make it work better. Usually an OS X
    upgrade requires one to look at the hardware resources available to it.
    The OS X works best with more memory: new higher capacity chips.
    This may be possible, and they should be high quality from reputable
    vender who has tested them on Apple in OS X, such as OWC or Crucial.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • 14 out of 15 MAcbooks installed snow leopard succesfully. One machine keeps spitting out the CD! Why? What can be done to upgrade machine?

    Trying to upgrade Os X. 14 out of 15 MacBooks installed succesfully. One machine keeps spitting out the CD! Why? What can be done to upgrade machine?

    Sounds like the optical drive may be on it's way out. It should be possible to connect the Mac to one of the others by firewire and do the installation by booting from the install disc in the donor Mac, then choosing the remote HD as the target when prompted.

  • I was first signed to Netherland Ebay site. Every mail is in Dutch . What can be done ?

     I was first signed to Netherland Ebay site.I did that in order to buy the concert tickets in Amsterdam.This was several years ago and nowEvery mail is in Dutch .I really don't understand Duch . What can be done in order to start getting emails in English? Thanks

    Try this.  Sign in to ebay.ca.  On the summary page, go to the "account" tab, click on "communication preferences", then click on "notification language", you should get the option between english or french, choose english, that should do it.  Good luck. 

  • It looked like a small bug going up and down on my screen then it stopped about 12 o clock a quarter of the way from the top, now it seems to be burned in to the inside of the screen, anyone seen this before?  And what can be done about it,  macbook pro

    I have what looked like a small bug that ran up and down the screen and then sudenly stopped in center upper half of screen and now appears to be burned in to the inside of the screen, anyone had this probelm before and what can be done about it?

    Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them.  They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent.  They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover.  The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free.  If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store.  For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.

    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

  • Tries to load a page from site but never loads, Then need to close Mozilla and reopen it. Told that it is already running, not, then often have to do a hard turn off to shut it down. Why is this happening, and what can be done?

    This happened many times today. There is no specific page. I usually have a page open and try to redirect from that page. It shows "connecting", but never does. I have run many scans which all turn up clean. Why is this happening and what can be done to fix it?

    Every time I try to upload a video to youtube or a pictures to a blog service, such as tumblr, I am unable to do so with the default uploading options (usually something that allows multiple uploads, etc). Instead, I can upload these media using their "basic upload" functions. Why and what can be done?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    I've got to agree with Allan. It sounds like the hard drive is corrupt at least. It's possible it might be physically failing. Without backups, it's possible your data is already gone. You need a professional to help you.
    If you do not have an Apple Store near you or simply don't have the time to spare, there are some things you can try, but you must understand that it's possible these things could make the chances of recovering your data worse than they already are. Perform the instructions to follow at your own risk!
    First, you can try repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility. If that works, see if you can start up the machine. If you can, the very first thing you need to do is back up any data you don't want to lose. You may still need to take other steps, as your system may be damaged as well, but getting the data is the important part.
    If Disk Utility cannot repair the problems, you can try DiskWarrior. It can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. However, it also increases the risk of destroying your data if it fails. If it works and you can start up the machine, do the same as I advised for following success with Disk Utility.
    If repairs (with either) were successful, but the machine still won't start up, you can try reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup and then just install right on top of the existing system. If all goes well, you'll be able to start up afterwards and can get your data backed up. If all goes badly, it'll further decrease the chances of getting your data back.
    If neither can repair the damage, you're in bad shape. You will need a professional to help you, unless you are willing to lose all your data.

  • What can be done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

    Dear Adviser
    This is NOT a bug report or an enhancement request.
    We are looking for advice on a customer support call.
    We are using iPlanet Webserver 4.1 SP7 and iPlanet Directory
    Server 4.12 on Solaris 2.8.
    We are checking to see if there is any engineering
    documentation or quick pointers on LDAP database file
    sizes and cache file sizes that may relate to a
    reported problem.
    Thank you for your time and co-operation in advance.
    We have been working on a TIBCO/Portal Builder customer
    issue that does not seem to have guidance in end
    user documentation. This is related to a significant
    increase in LDAP and cache file sizes (which at this
    point do NOT seem to affect any performance). Is this
    something that you are aware of from your QA/performance
    tests? The problem seems to have suddenly cropped
    up and we are attempting to isolate the triggerring event.
    We started with the possibility that it is
    a. Solaris Platform issue
    OR
    b. LDAP issue
    We have done several experiments to isolate specific
    issues as described below. We have researched
    Sun/iPlanet web site and technical sites on the net.
    Currently, we believe that the LDAP database size is increasing
    because the Portal has been configured with pages
    that have a lot of "Personalized" panes. Users are visiting
    these pages, and getting automatically subscribed to these
    panes, which add corresponding entries in the LDAP server.
    Please find below the listing of all the files (from LDAP
    DB directory) which are growing very fast. Kindly advise what can be
    done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

    This may be perfectly normal behavior for the LDAP server. If some application is adding a lot of data to the server, the database will necessarily grow. You can look at the access log to find out the IP address of the client, the BIND dn of the client, and the operations from that client. Perhaps this will help you narrow down the culprit.

    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
    208.67.222.222

    Thank u for any assiststance

    I concur with Meg; having a number of iPads with the Smart Cover, I can say without a doubt that there is no possible way the case could bend the machined-alumnium case of iPad. The force exerted by the magnets is not anywhere near sufficiently powerful; if they were, not only could you not remove the cover, it would be attracting magnetic objects to the iPad. It's not even easy to bend the iPad yourself, much less the weak magnets of the case, which aren't even strong enough so you can pick up the iPad by the case without it coming off.
    Something else has bent your iPad, if it indeed is bent (confirm with a verified straightedge; there's an optical illusion that makes the iPad appear to be bent when looked at edge-on, but it's not actually bent). If it is really bend, have you been carrying it it a backpack, attache case or other item with other objects? Set anything heavy on the iPad? I bet you, or someone, has, or something like that, and in such a case the damage will not be Apple's fault and hence not covered by the warranty.
    But as Meg suggested, you can take it to an Apple Store and discuss the matter with them. The cover, though, again cannot possible have bent the iPad.
    Regards.

    I want to by an X-Fi Soundcard.
    Is it possible, foraexample, to set up a few parametric equalizers for each audio channel?
    If yes, how many?
    The X-Fi site tells about the instruction set and the architecture of the chip. Is it possible to write own "Soundshaders"? I mean own effets, which can be processed in Hardware and can be aplied to all 2D and 3D voices.
    Nvidia has this FX-Studio to develop FragmentShaders for their Graphiccards.
    I simply can't believe that the "entertainment mode" uses up all resources of this chip. A 0band Equalizer is for me something to laugh at, you know.
    I want to compensate all the parasitic effects in my room.
    I want to correct the resonaces, the frequency plot of my speakers(down to 25Hz if possible), of course the resonances of my speakers.
    If you tell me, that it can't be done in gaming mode, because of performance lacks. That wouldn't be a problem, as i only intend to listen to music.
    Can anyone tell me what can be done and what can't.
    I simply want to know, what this soundcard can do for me, before i intend to spend a few hundred bucks on it.
    I hope anyone replys!
    Thanks in advance
