Why can't I change the Top Sites on Safari?

Seem unable to get Safari to save my website choices to Top Sites.  I have tried deleting preloaded ones & loading and pinning my choices but reverts back when Safari closed down.

Hi ..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following;
~/Library/Safari/TopSites.plist
Click Go then move the TopSites.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari and try adding sites to TopSites.

  • 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!

  • HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?

    Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
    iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups. 
    Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
    The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad.  (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
    I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone.  You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
    Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?

    iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
    Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll.

  • Why can't I change the transparent color and font color in IOS 7?

    Who thought all this WHITE AND TRANSPARENT color looks appealing?
    Why can't I change the color of the folders and text?
    I already tried inverting the colors and then it washes out the photos I use as my wallpaper.
    I love everything, so far, except this transparent issue.

    That's very sad those colors can't be changed. They really look ugly.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

    I was trying to change the transaction isolation level from an EJB. My source codes are shown as the follows:

    int status = con.getTransactionIsolation();
    System.out.print( "1. " );

    =========================================================
    However, I encountered the following exception when running at the highlighted statement:
    ======================================================
    SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: Transaction manager errors. statement not allowed in XA Session.
    ======================================================
    To my surprise, the isolation level TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported from the database vendor. So why can't I change the transaction isolation level?

    You can change the setting, you may need to click the lock at the bottom of the preference pane. Be careful what you download and install, Gatekeeper is there to help you. OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support

  • Why can I not change the apple id associated with iphoto and imovies

    Why can I not change the appleid associated with iphoto and imovies

    Is it not your Apple ID? Is this a used Mac? If so, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps are all registered to the original owner of the Mac.
    When someone sells a Mac they should erase the Mac and reinstall the most recent version of OS X that came with the Mac. And they should call Apple Care and have the Mac, the OS and the iLife apps disassociated from their Apple ID. Can you call the original owner and request that?

  • Why can't I change the names of my states in my symbol?

    For some reason, Fireworks won't let me change the names of my states in my symbol.
    I double click on the state name in the states panel, and nothing happens.
    It works fine for normal "non-symbol" pages.
    Can you normally change the names of states in symbols?
    Any ideas why I am having difficulty doing so?

    Thank you SO much! Funny thing, I didn't even notice the tiny folder icon at the top of the info window until I saw it in the screen shot at the beginning of that article. 
    See, I have begun changing the icons of the folders of digital scrapbooking alphabets I have (screenshot below). Now it will be so much easier to scroll through my hundreds of alphas and choose one, because I can SEE them without going in and out of each folder.
    A million thank yous!!!!! 

  • Why can't I change the genre on the new iTunes

    I wish to change the genre of a song on the new iTunes.  I right click on the song go to details, write in the genre and then click on OK and yet nothing changes.  So how can I effectively change the genre of a song?

    I found out that in order to have iTunes accept changes, I must first go into Windows Explorer to the music file under properties, in the General tab, then uncheck in Attributes the read only box. Then iTunes accepts the changes.
    Thank you and have a great day!

  • 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.

  • Why can't I change the position of the 'Top Collections' feature box?

    In Public Site Manager I can select or de-select and change the position (ordering) of all the feature boxes on my provider page except for 'Top Collections'. As a result of this 'Top Collections' remains fixed at the bottom of the page. I'd like to move it to the top of the page so it's the first feature box that users see. What gives?
    Options in Public Site Manager (notice there is no option to select or move 'Top Collections')
    iTunes U Provider Page (notice that 'Top Collections' is at the bottom of the page)

    Hi Julie
    Thanks for the reply.
    I can move the 'Top Downloads' box but not the 'Top Collections' box.
    I don't use the What's New feature box so unfortunately I can't comment on that. In regards to the ordering in custom feature boxes I think it's no longer possible order the items. Or rather you can order the icons in Public Site Manager but in iTunes it orders them automatically by 'Most Popular', 'Name' or 'Release Date', with Most Popular being the default option. I do have my doubts, however, about the reliability of the 'Most Popular' ordering. I know for a fact that there are many collections / downloads on my iTunes U site which are way more popular than those that iTunes deems to be the most popular.

  • IMovie-Why can't I change the font of my title?

    My simple question is that when I open the Font window from the menu to try to change the type, size and color of my font it doesn't change anything.
    Below is the step by step of what I'm doing if you need this information: 
    I choose "T" button below view screen.
    Select "Organic Main" and drag and drop it infront of my video (Green line indicates where to put it, and a green plus confirms the move is good).
    Screen pops up asking me to choose background, I choose "Organic".
    View screen shows new background with Text "Title Text Here" highlighted.
    Project screen shows the new block in the front of my video clips, on top of this box is the blue rectangle box that is highlighted yellow and repeats the "Title Text Here" text.
    So far so good.
    I go to the top menu and choose "Text > Show Fonts".  The Font window pops up.
    Now when I click on fonts, font sizes, or try to change the color of the font, nothing happens.
    I close the font window and hit done on my preview window and still nothing happens.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you so much in advance, you people are always so helpful

    Hi Appleman,
    So what causes the Title Sequence from not being able to be edited?
    As per michelepost comments earlier, neither the "Show Fonts" function allows title values to be changed, nor if the iMove Font Panel displayed?
    From the Menu options, neither does the Cmd- or Cmd+ functions work to manage the size of the title text...
    Can new titles be created with images from my photo library be used as backgrounds for Titles?
    Whilst on the theme, why when changing photo image durations, the value in time entered does not relate to the image(s) selected? I enter 1.8seconds, and 0.9 is displayed against the selected image.......
    Looking forward to your response in advance.
    Maggie
