Can't add bookmarks anymore and issues with fix

hi community
i need some expert help for i'm a newish mac user. i have a mac with os lion, safari 5.1.5
all of a sudden i can't add any bookmarks anymore using the plus sign next to url.  searched many websites which offer adequate solutions to fix but i cannot follow as folders/files can't seem to be found.  I even had trouble finding the safari folder as it don't exist under library-  may be clueless but i seem to have 2 folders for library: one under macintosh hd, the other under the system folder.  also can't find the bookmarks.plist file either using spotlight.  some sites say locate the com.apple.safari file, which seems to be missing in either cache folders, example of what is there is com.apple.components2.localcache.audiocomponents etc....
its frustrating especially when you find a good website to add to an already organised bookmarks folder. 
NOTE- i did find safari folder via spotlight but within it was 2 folders of bookmarks and history and both don't have the bookmarks.plist file and only endless "webbookmarks..."

Hi..
  I even had trouble finding the safari folder as it don't exist under library-
The Safari app is stored in the Applications folder.
may be clueless but i seem to have 2 folders for library: one under macintosh hd, the other under the system folder
There are two libraries.
One is root /Library
The other is your user level   ~/Library   ~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
I believe the cache you are searching for is the Cache.db but that may not help the Bookmarks issue. This may be more of a corrupted preferences problem.
Click the Finder icon in your Dock. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly has you see it here:   ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Navigate to a site you want to Bookmark then from the menu bar click Bookmarks > Add Bookmark
If that worked, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
Deny.. when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed.

  • How many drives can i add in K430? Issue with LG bluray writer

    I have a K430 with SSD disk +SATA DISK+dvd-ROM.
    I've changed the dvd-rom drive with an LG bluray writer and added a third harddisk.
    Windows 8.1 sees the new hard disk but can't see the LG drive, it still claims is a the old dvd-rom drive. The drive itself has a blue led lightning as if it's operating but nothing happens and tray won't come out.
    Suggestions?

    I've disconnected the new hard-drive and the LG bluray writer works even if there's a issue of the tray not opening with the front K430 panel installed (i'm looking into it).
    SO i assume that i've reached the maximum number of sata devices and can't add a third hard drive, correct?

  • How can the Add This Facebook window issue be fixed?

    The problem I run into is when clicking on the "Share Link" Facebook button under the Add This menu. After clicking on it, it will grey out for a little, but then the window never disappears and eventually the "Share Link" button goes back to the normal blue color. I do not have this issue on my Chrome or Opera browsers. I already spoke to Add This support and they said no issues on their end and it's a bug with Firefox. What is the problem and how can it be resolved?

    A quick guess or two, since you haven't really explained the symptoms.
    Are your Flow and Density sliders set to something reasonable?
    Try hitting the H (for hide) key.
    Is the Size slider set to something large enough?
    I'll only charge you $25.

  • Ever since the last update I don't have my old bookmarks, can't add new ones and can't import my HTML file. How do I fix this?

    ever since the last firefox update I don't have my old bookmarks, can't add new ones and can't add my HTML file of my bookmarks

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Hi Sreenivas,
    I would recommend that you read the Rules of Engagement and other documents in the Getting Started link (top right) before posting anymore.  Your Discussion will most likely get reported as non-specific and get removed.  If you have a specific problem with TM, please post it in a new thread with error messages, version and SPs installed, and how the error occurs and what you are trying to get TM to do.
    There are a lot of resources available in the TM Overview page which can help, so start there and maybe also look at some of the MKS (Monday Knowledge Session) recordings which should also be listed.  There are also a lot of experienced people who can help resolve issues your TM installation, but you need to provide enough information on the problems you are having.  If you are just looking for information on past problems, do a Search or simply browse through past Discussions which are marked with a green Check (Correct Answer).

    I have Firefox 4 Beta on my Macbook,and i can't add Bookmarks at all.I had the same problem also with the Firefox 3.6.2 version.How could i fix that?

    # Upgrade Firefox 3.6.2 to 3.6.13.
    # Use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0b8 to prevent interferences between versions
    # Read [[Bookmarks not saved]].

  • Can't add bookmarks, having tried resetting toolbars and uninstalling all bookmark-related add-ons.

    The Help suggested the resetting of toolbars using safe mode, and I did that, and I still can't add bookmarks. I have never had any bookmark-related add-ons, and went through just to make sure. Any suggestions?

    If Safari worked correctly in the other User Account, the remedy usually points to replacing a localized corrupted file in the affected User Account, rather than an Application install. The latter usually does not help.
    Hopefully, you haven't trashed the existing Safari.app. Let me know if you have.
    Perhaps the Safari preference file is at the root of the problem. Go to the Finder: navigate to HD>Users>Your User Account>Library>Preference file. There, move to the trash the com.apple.safari.plist file, then restart Safari. You'll need to reestablish any Safari preferences in either the Preference panel, or in the View and Edit (spelling) menus.

  • N97: Can't edit bookmarks anymore

    I was able to edit my bookmarks up to last week but now I can not edit then anymore and I can not recall what I had made (wrong?) that may lead to such behavior. 
    Any suggestion how to recover the Edit capability ?
    Thanks

    N97 RM-507 code 0575400 / 0580761 firmware 20.2.19 ... and no Mass Memory anymore.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi, I don't think the problem is you browser version, Try first soft reset and clearing cache and then hard reset if this doesn't work. N97 does have memory issues ( I'm one of it's biggest fans, but phone memory is really too small).
    Also use the user search feature at the top of the page to find solutions, most 'problems ' have been discussed before, and once you've sorted your memory management, the N97 becomes a really good machine. A little research makes the whole experience much better.
    Good Luck

  • How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type.  The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
    "H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
    http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
    (earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
    So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes).  If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

  • I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

    Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
    See:                  Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
    Uncheck the little square button with the "1".

    if you have data in db then you can create xml with needed structure
    and so you can create bip report
    do you have errors or .... ?
