I just lost my bookmarks in safari 5

I just noticed my bookmark bar was blank and many of my bookmarks have disappeared. I restarted both Safari and then my computer, but the bookmarks are gone. I still have them on my iPad. How do I get them back?

If you have Time Machine activated, you can go to ~/Library/Safari and restore an older version of Bookmarks.plist.

Ive lost my bookmarks on safari

ive lost my bookmarks on the home page of my safari, how do i get them back on ?

Two or more users are synchronizing Safari with iCloud while signed in with the same Apple ID. At least one should sign out of iCloud in its preference pane and sign in with a different ID. If you want to keep sharing the same ID, uncheck the box marked Safari in the preference pane.

I lost my bookmarks in safari on my iMac after I deleted them on my iPad. Can I get them back on my iMac?

I noticed my iPad and iMac synced Safari bookmark lists after an upgrde to my iPad OS. I deleted some of the bookmark folders off my iPad, but now they are gone from my iMac Safari as well. Any way I can restore them? I looked at earlier posts, but could not find the bookmarks.plist file to back up from Time Machine. Any ideas?

Hello:
Safari bookmarks are in your home folder (~). ~library>safari. If you have not found the library folder, do this:
from the Finder>Go while holding the option key down.

Lost bookmarks after Safari crashed

I just realized I lost all bookmarks when Safari crashed. When it crashed, I did the test account and Safari worked there. Then went back to my account and dragged the cookies file out, it worked again. I didn't think that would have affected the bookmarks. Are my bookmarks somewhere to be found? Thanks, Vicki
power mac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello Vicki,
Did you trash the cookie.plist file & empty the trash if you did not empty it check the trash bin ? Moving the cookies.plist file out of the Cookies folder should not , I am sure it did not affect the bookmarks, something else must of happened.
Are you sure it was not the bookmark.plist file. Go to Home/~Library/Safari is there a Bookmarks.plist file there ?
Please let us know.

I just lost the "S" folder in my bookmarks. I was editing and poof, gone! Can I get it back?

I just lost the "S" folder in my Safari bookmarks. I was editing and poof! Is there a way to get them back?

I'm actually replying to myself! Guys, save your Safari bookmarks now and then! I realized that I had done that, being the hoarder I am. I case you lose them, while editing.....you will - at least - have an older version.

PLEASE HELP ME! Mozilla Sync just lost all of my bookmarks after a format

Please help me oh god =(
After so long of using Weave then switching to Sync.. I think I finally lost my bookmarks (and everything else Sync saves) and I have --absolutely no clue how--
I had to format after a very mean trojan, and a few minutes ago i just installed firefox and sync -- I selected "Merge my bookmarks" and nothing happened, so frantically I tried all kinds of things -- after clicking on the "replace" option (and not actually doing it) it states I had 64 bookmarks although 0 passwords and 0 of something else, I was extremely happy to see that although I searched EVERYWHERE in my computer and they were no where to be found.. I restarted Firefox thinking they would suddenly pop up and they did not..
Now after restarting I did the "replace" button again and it was down to 14 bookmarks (which I believe is the amount you start with)
Is there ANYTHING I can do? Can the people at Mozilla Sync find my bookmarks? There was so much there =( All I did was merge and just... nothing happened.. So I panicked, was I supposed to restart he browser immediately after merging my bookmarks and things? Oh god =( Instead of saving all of my info on a disc when formating, I trusted Sync to save all of my information in bookmarks and things.. Now it is all lost, there are even some email addresses that I had passwords saved and now I have no way to recover them.
Is there ANYTHING I can do?????? Anything at all =/ This was NOT supposed to happen, all I did was Merge! Was I not supposed to Merge? I've used Merge a hundred times in the past! Please keep in mind that I formatted so there is no hope of using a backup.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== after a format

Ok, this has happened to me twice now. I've been using weave since pre-1.0.
The first time I needed to wipe a cluttered firefox profile, then re-merged my sync and while it restored all of my bookmarks, it only caught half my passwords.
The second time, today, I needed to reinstall windows. I connected to firefox sync and selected merge, but the only bookmarks merged in were those I added recently, likely since the 1.4 update.
This is very troubling to me as there was never any warning that all of my data would not be secure. It was my fault for depending on it but now several years worth of bookmarks are just gone.
Am I using it wrong? When a new version comes out do I need to somehow re-sync everything? One would think that is taken care of automatically.
Please let us know if there is a way to recover our lost data.
And for the sake of other users please track this down and consider warning people they could lose their data.
Thank you.

I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 and lost all of my safari bookmarks. Any way to get them back?

I updated to the iOS 6 yesterday and just noticed all of my safari bookmarks are gone. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 6, I use iCloud for backing up my phone. Any help is appreciated.

What were you syncing your contacts with? If you were not syncing them to a contact manager or cloud service as intended, you may have to purchase 3rd party software to try and extract what informaion there is from the backup.

Can't create new bookmarks in safari. Lost all my existing book marks

Lost all bookmarks, cannot create new ones.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the folder open.
Relaunch Safari. It will open with the default set of bookmarks. Delete them all. Select
File ▹ Import from... (or Import Bookmarks...)
from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Arrange the bookmarks as you wish.
If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post your results.

Lost bookmarks in Safari

For some reason I have lost all the bookmarks in Safari. I have tried to restore Safari from TimeMachine but I still don't get the bookmarks. Are these stored somewhere that I can retrieve them? If so how?

You've probably tried it but . . .
Right click on Find in the Dock and select bookmarks ?

I lost my bookmarks and history when I stop safari

Hello everyone
I lost my bookmarks and history when I stop safari and start it again !
I reset safari and remove it and redownload it again
But still the problem
Please ! HELP ME !
My device ( imac - OS X 10.9.4)
Safari 7.0.5
* the problem existed since I purchase my imac

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
