Adding a bookmark in Safari ios7?

I cannot add a bookmark in Safari. I updated to iOS 7.0.2 a week ago. When I try to use the bookmark button (box with an upward arrow) Safari freezes and I have to close it. I looked at settings for software and it said I am up to date. All of my existing bookmarks are there, but I cannot add any new ones. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Now close Safari.
To close an app - Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail to close it. Now reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Now see if you can add bookmarks without Safari freezing.

Getting weird display on add to bookmark

I'm trying to add a bookmark in safari 6.0 Lion on an early macbook pro 2011. Getting garbled graphics see picture

That looks like a GPU fault. Do you see this artifact only when adding bookmarks?

Unable to save a Bookmark in Safari

I try to add a bookmark in Safari by choosing a location; execute the command and no bookmark gets added.
This started when I upgraded to Mavericks. I must use a different browser.

Yes, the good old days, when you also had a chance to edit the sloppy descriptions that some webpage designers use to define their webpages. Such as, for instance, descriptions having absolutely nothing to indicate the name of the company whose page you're trying to bookmark.
Command-D does work, but I agree with the OP: the old way was better, and I'd like to disable the reading list. I never use it. I bookmark things in an organized fashion, and the new Safari seems to do everything it can to get in the way of doing so.

Created a new folder in bookmarks; when try to add new bookmark, new folder does not appear in drop down menu; using safari for windows

You are using an older version of firefox, upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and try

Cannot delete or add bookmarks in Safari 8.0.3 on my iMac

Although I've been a Mac user forever, I've always preferred Google products, especially Chrome. I decided to give Safari another try after updating to 8.0.3 but am ready to go right back to Chrome and just deal with the syncing issues.
I am trying to personalize Safari and absolutely cannot get the bookmarks to change. I do NOT want Bing, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or Yahoo in my favorites (they aren't MY favorites, goshdarnit!) but no matter how I try to delete them (right-click, delete; drag into the desktop; delete from the menu) they always pop back when I restart Safari.
Moreover, any bookmarks I add (including bookmark folders) disappear as soon as I log out. I have researched the issue (clearly I'm not alone with this problem) and have tried the following:
1. Opened iCloud preferences from Finder and unchecked the box next to Safari. Restarted computer. No love.
2. Another user asked a similar question (it wasn't answered) and someone suggested he try to move the bookmarks.plist to the desktop and then relaunch Safari.   I tried to move bookmarks.plist to the desktop and relaunch Safari but when I got to the part in the instructions where I was to paste bookmarks.plist into the "Go To" text box in Finder, I got the error message that "library can't be found.
I have also "turned the computer off and turned it back on again" several times, just to make sure.
I'm at a loss. I'm not *that* computer savvy so I've been reluctant to do anything that requires going into directories and typing a lot of stuff that looks suspiciously like code :-)
So now I'm stuck with these stupid "favorite" bookmarks stinking up my favorites bar and no way to add my own. I have checked Safari settings on my iPad and iPhone (both brand new and everything updating to iCloud and supposedly synced) and they both have different preset favorites than the ones on the iMac. I have only tried to save bookmarks on the iMac.
TIA!

Back up all data before proceeding.
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 -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) 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:
resetp
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.

IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

I am unable to add a bookmark to a Safari page on my iPhone 4.

I am unable to add a bookmark to a Safari page on my iPhone 4. The " " does not appear, so that I can do so. Is there a fix?

My apology for the typo. The plus sign "+" was supposed to be in the quotes in the second sentence.

Safari crashes EVERY time I add a bookmark. What gives?

I just installed Safari on my Win XP machine. It's gorgeous and fast, but every time I add a bookmark it crashes--hard. It's faster than Firefox, I think.
Dell Dimension Windows XP

Hi Steve,
I do not have a bookmarks file in the specified location. The other .plist files are there, but not that one. My Safari - too - crashes when I
* right click on the bookmarks bar to create a folder
* try the bookmarks menu to manage bookmarks
When I drag and drop a page on the bar, nothing happens. No bookmark appears (but Safari does not crash).
Please help
Many thanks, Klaus

I can't add Bookmarks on Safari

Safar don't update my bookmark list when I want to add a new bookmark.

Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari.
Move the cache.db file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. Try adding a Bookmark.
If that didn't help, could be the preferences are corrupted ..
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) represents the Home folder.
For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Whenever I add a new bookmark into Safari, it disappear the next time I launch it.

I am now using Mavericks. However, whenever I save a bookmark in Safari, it does not appear in Safari (the bar above the page). I have reinstalled OS X but it's not helpful. How can I solve this?

You want to transfer purchases from the iPod to your iTunes account.
Connect the device to iTunes but do not sync.

This will copy the content purchased via iTunes on the iPod to your iTunes account.

Is there any way to create a bookmark in safari that automatically creates itself for every user/account that logs into the computer?

I am currently trying to add in a bookmark to Safari that will be automatically created on every account on the Mac.
Is that possible? Or is the only way to do such a thing, to have to add it to each and every Safari on each individual account?

No, unfortunately.

Yes.

I've lost the option to add to bookmarks bar. The items I had on bookmarks bar are there but I cannot add new ones. Suggestions please?

I have lost the option to add to bookmarks bar. I tried going to safari settings and selecting show bookmarks bar but that is not an option any longer and it only gives show favourites bar. I've only had my iPad for a few months and it's my first apple computer. Likely user error and any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well I feel silly. You were right. And didn't help that my titles for some were too long. Once I got rid of some the newer ones I'd tried to add popped up. Thank you!

Attempting to open bookmarks, hangs Safari

Strange issue. Safari runs fine until I attempt to open the bookmarks. Safari will sit with spinning ball until I force quit. I can add new bookmarks. When I found the bookmarks folder, I can launch to all of the sites by double clicking the entry.
I have run a check of the disk and the permissions. I found a topic describing similar situation having to do with languages. I turned off all but English, but no help.
Any indeas????
I am wondering if there is a way to delete the bookmarks from safari and rebuild them.

Thanks for the suggestion. I found the file and trashed it (after moving a copy to another drive). Upon restart my bookmarks bar reverted to the default, but when I attempt to open all bookmarks, I get the same result.
I was beginning to think it might be related to the latest security update and thought about restoring using time machine to get back prior to the update. When I tried to open the time machine preferences, I encounter the same problem.
I can enter time machine, just not the preferences. Obviously it is not just a safari issue.
