why do sites in Safari 6's reading list say "waiting"

I'm running Lion (10.7.4). Ever since I upgraded to Safari 6, the sites listed in Reading List show a "Waiting..." attribute. This never goes away.

Any solutions?

Try enabling the Develop menu so you can empty the cache.


From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Advanced


Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar


Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches


Quit then relaunch Safari to test.


If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder


Type this exactly as you see it here:


~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db


Click Go


Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.


Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
