How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages, How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages
I struggle to believe that I am the only person experiencing this problem.
I just hope somebody has the decency to spend a couple of minutes replying with a resolution.
Every time I click the + sign on my iPad, Safari to open a new tab page..
I am greeted by loads of icons / boxes that are links to my bookmarks.
I want to delete those icons / boxes from the page
If I want to visit one of my bookmarks I use the bookmark icon at the top right of the page.
If I long press on the icons they do not wobble / delete
How can I delete them ?
I dislike them so much I am beginning to think that I will have to stop using safari,
and use a different search engine.....but I shouldn't have to.
If you don't want to see these bookmarks when you open a new tab and you don't want to delete them you'll need to move them. Now as you probably know there isn't really a move function for Bookmarks in iPad, so what I'd recommend is Tap Bookmarks>Favourites tap one of the bookmarks in this folder and when it loads up save it to another location on your iPad - repeat for all bookmarks in this folder, once done tap Bookmarks>Favourites select EDIT and delete all bookmarks in the favourites folder.
You need to bear in mind that FAVOURITES is simply a folder storage area for Bookmarks so any bookmarks you delete from this folder won't be available under Bookmarks unless you follow the process outlined above.

I somehow deleted a folder filled with bookmarks from Safari. I have the same folder on my Firefox application. How do I transfer the folder on Firefox over to Safari?
I found the post under the "More Like This" window at the top right of the Discussions page:
Essentially, it led me to:
In my case I didn't want to import all of my bookmarks, just a folder.
What I did was: In Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize
Select the file folder of bookmarks I wanted to move to Safari
Under the "star"icon in toolbar, select Export HTML
Select location to save the file, then SAVE
Open Safari,
Import Bookmark.... -
How do I reconfigure my Safari web pages to show the 9 icons of pages I visited? Since I upgraded last week, all I get now is a popup bookmark. I've tried everything except the correct way to solve this problem. I would like to see the web pages I've visited when I turn Safari on....any suggestions.
You can't - Safari on iOS 5 used tabbed browsing as opposed to the thumbnail/page browsing as on previous iOS versions. You now open new tabs/pages via the '+' to the right of the tab bar, and you can close the selected by tapping the 'x' on its left-hand end (unless it's the last tab).

How do I change Mac desktop folder/safari pictures to registered business icons? I have tried almost everythin but none are working. First how do I capture the business icon from the website, then what?
OK, well to start with, you must have the icon file in the correct format. You need to end up with an .icns file. One of the how-to articles should tell you how to do this - iConvert will also do it.
If it is in the correct format, when you click the icon file to highlight it, and click cmd-i, you will see the Get Info window - at the top left, you should see a mini version of the icon. If you do NOT see that icon correctly, the file is not the correct format. So this will not work for a jpg or png file, for example.
Once you have this window open, go to the thumbnail, click it to highlight it blue, and click cmd-C to copy.
Go to your Safari app from the Applications folder (not from the dock), again click cmd-i to open its Get Info window, and again click its icon to highlight it blue. Now click cmd-V to paste. You will be asked for your admin password to authenticate. The icon should now become the one you've pasted in.
You may need to log out and back in for the effect to show on the application file itself.
You might also want to look into Candybar if you plan on doing a lot of icon customization.

The contacts icon was deleted from my iPhone 5. How do I get it back?
My granddaughter played with my phone and deleted the Contacts icon. The information is still on the phone under Phone. How do I add the icon back?
Well, it's impossible to delete Apple's Contact app. Swipe the home screen to the right and type in a search bar for 'CONTACTS' and it should find the app. She may have put it into a folder or it's on page 9/screen. It's there, you may need to do a little searching and that may take time on your part.

I accidently deleted Safari from my iphone, where and how can i re-install the app
I accidently deleted Safari app from my iphone. Where can I find the app to re-install it?
You didn't delete Safari. Built-in apps cannot be deleted.
Maybe you restricted it. Settings > General > Restrictions, make sure Safari did not get turned off. -
I don't have a history option in bookmarks bar... So I cannot delete visited sites from address bar...how do I restore this ?, I don't have a history option in bookmarks bar... So I cannot delete visited sites from address bar...how do I restore this ?
The history option is the little clock icon at the bottom of the Bookmarks menu - the icon in the center between the open book and the eye glasses icons. You don't have that? Try closing Safari and see if the history option comes back
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also clear the history in Settings>Safari>Clear History. -
How can I remove all my bookmarks from iCloud and start a fresh with only the ones on my iMac
I accidentally deleted bookmark gilders on my iPad 4 and iCloud removed them from my iMac, iPhone 5, iPhone 4, iPad 2 and MacBook Pro. I turned off Safari on all devices for syncing with iCloud and used Time Machine to restore my Bookmarks.plist on my iMac, but iCloud keeps removing it and replacing the plist with the latest version. I want to remove all the Safari a bookmarks from iCloud, but don't know how to do this, can anyone help.
Just a note about the difference between these two things:
* "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
* "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.

Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile. See: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites]. -
when I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on "Bookmarks" tab on left side and allow me to click on each individual page and delete if I needed to. Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, that section is empty. How can I get it to show each page again?
Hi chrismarks1,
I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
Best,

Accidentally i have deleted the Safari, please help me how to reinstall it back, I'm using MacBookAir - MAC OS X - Version 10.5.8
Thanks
DimitrisIt would appear that your system is somewhat mangled, and it is time for some general 'servicing'.
Start here:
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.

and here:

An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:

By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

I have accidently deleted the App store icon off my home page, how do I get it back do I nave to re download??
Swipe through your screens and swipe to the left of your Home screen. Type in App Store in the search field. It's a permanent pre installed Apple app so it can't be deleted.
If you can't locate it on the iPad for some reason, connect the device to your computer. Right or control click the iPad under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click: Restore from backup -

How do I delete items from menu bar that are not part of the OS
How do I delete items from menu bar that are not part of the OS
Perhaps you could be more specific, as it is a little difficult to answer your question without any details. I can give you some general ideas though.
On my machine there are a few applications that have installed items into the menu bar - I'm assuming you are talking about the icons on the right hand side of the top bar. To remove those items, I would generally need to uninstall the program that created them. To do this varies a little from application to application.
Also, sometimes an application will have preferences that allow you choose if you want to display the item in the menu bar.
So, my general advice would be that you need to identify the application that placed the item there, and remove it from your computer. If there is an uninstall program for that application, I would run that in the first instance.
If you don't actually wish to uninstall the application, you may need to click on the item or run the application and see if there is a setting to not show the menu bar item.
Hope that helps.

I am Manually Deleting Songs from my Ipad2, but when I press Delete, it shows a Cloud with a Red Arrow pointing down, and the Song remains, how do I get rid of the Song completely?.
The cloud icon means that the songs are only in the cloud, they aren't stored on your iPad. You can turn off the showing of songs that are in the cloud via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'show all' heading) 'off'. If you want to some cloud songs to show but not all then you can hide the ones that you don't want via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

I'm having a problem with cookies on Safari.
Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies. I've tried to Reseting Safari several time but the problem persists. This is occurring under two different user logins one of whom is an administrator the other a standard user. How can I get safari to Never accept cookies? This is a recent problem because in the past it used to work properly. Any idea what might be going on here?Hi David:
I did read (yesterday in another thread) about a similar problem. I cannot test it myself as I accept cookies (from sites I visit) and do not want to delete all of mine for a test.
I do not know whether it meets your requirements, but you could turn on private browsing. I use that (or Microsoft's variant on IE) when I use public computers.
