Add folders to bookmark bar folders?

How do I create a subfolder within a folder on Bookmark bar?

Here's one way of doing it. Assuming here you've got your Menu bar up.
First go "Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks".
In the left-hand pane, select "Bookmarks Bar" as per the following screenshot:
Now over in the right-hand pane (below the cover flow of your history), Select and expand the folder in the bookmarks bar that you want to put the new folder in. For example:
Now go "Bookmarks > Add Bookmark Folder". That should drop an untitled folder inside the folder you had selected-and-open. For example:
Rename the folder as you please, and drag and drop bookmarks (or other folders containing bookmarks) within the new folder as you please.

  • Can't Add to Bookmarks Bar in Safari

    I can't add to my Bookmarks Bar in Safari. I would appreciate any suggestions to remedy this.

    Parental controls can prevent you from adding bookmarks. Check with a person who has an administrator account on your computer.

  • Bookmarks bar in iPad Safari

    In iMac Safari, I have a nice thin grey line of defaulted Apple, etd. links. Kinda nice, but I would prefer to use the precious real estate for other things.
    In iPad, the support links suggest turning it on in Settings, Safari, General, and 'Always show Bookmarks Bar'.. Well it is on. Still no bookmarks bar.
    I was able to bang around and get a folder added to Bookmarks. I have only a couple Apple site links in there, but don't yet see a way to add links. I will.
    The folder is now displayed up there now taking up more precious real estate on this miniature screen. Tapping on it gives me the 2 Apple sites,
    I would rather just have a single line of 8 or so really favorite sites lined up there like shown in the posts provided by others here.
    Please,  Can anyone tell me how to just have the line there without folders?
    Thanx,,, Bill

    If you turned on the Always Show Bookmarks Bar - you have to add the bookmarks to that particular folder in the Safari Bookmarks as well.
    In Safari - go to the web site that you want to add to the Bookmarks Bar. Tap the Arrow icon next to the url field. Select - Add Bookmark. Then select Bookmarks Bar from the next window.
    If you dont see the Bookmarks Bar folder as a selection - tap the bottom folder that shows in that window - and then all of the other bookmarks folder should appear. Select bookmarks bar from there - then tap save.

  • Add bookmarks bar folders in ios

    How do I add bookmarks bar folders in safari iOS?

    Thanks a lot.  Ive spent hours trying to find this.  Not very intuitive, and I've been using Macs for twenty years!  I tried redoing my bookmarks on my MacBook after I posed the question and that did it, but I'm glad to know how to do it on the iPad.  Several sites tell people that bookmark menu folders cannot be added in iOS.  Have a great day.  Rick

  • How do I remove "Bookmark Bar" folders in Safari Bookmarks?

    My Bookmarks sync fine between my iPhone and iPad, except that iCloud keeps creating "Bookmark Bar" folders. They are driving me crazy because I cannot delete OR move them out of the way.
    There are now SIX unused (empty) "Bookmark Bar" folders making it rediculously cumbersome when I try to scroll down to my actual Bookmarks.
    PLEASE, oh PLEASE HELP! How can I remove all those "Bookmark Bar" folders?
    I am on iPad2 and iPhone4 with the latest iOS. I tried turning iCloud "Sync Bookmarks" off, rebooting both devices, and turning Sync back on. That seems to be when iCloud wants to add even more empty "Bookmark Bar" folders.
    - Cody

    Ok, so...ARGH!!! The solution was SO SIMPLE that I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out.
    Long story short: I was able to delete the "Bookmarks Bar" folders (15 in all!) from my PC (Win7). AND, the process did NOT delete all my existing iDevice Bookmarks (YAY!).
    So, in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread with the same issue:
    Open iCloud on your PC
    Turn on option to sync bookmarks with IE
       ('yes' to merge bookmarks- This step does not delete your existing bookmarks on your iDevices)
    Make sure your iDevices are set to sync bookmarks in iCloud.
    Next, open your "Favorites" in IE on your PC and right-click/delete all "Bookmarks Bar" folders.
    Voila! Done! No more Bookmarks BarS...although there will be ONE that will not go away. One is better than 15:)

  • TS4001 iCloud Syncs my Desktop Bookmark Bar items to my iOS Bookmark Menu, folders only

    I have all of my bookmarks in Safari on my desktop (OS X 10.7.5) via the Bookmark BAR - I have them organized in folders for ease, and I like it that way.
    When I use iCloud to sync Bookmarks to my iOS devices (iPad Retina and iPod Touch, latest iOS), the result is that I end up with a series of bookmark folders in the "Bookmark Menu (not the Bookmark Bar) that duplicates bookmarks and folders that I have on my iMac desktop in the Bookmark Bar.
    Problem 1.  I don't want them in the Bookmark Menu on my iOS devices, I want them in the Bookmark Bar so I can use them from the bar.
    Problem 2.  Even if I wanted to use what ends up on my iOS devices, I can't because none of the bookmarks in the folders are there, only a series of folders.  The only actual bookmarks that are on my iOS devices are those that are not in folders - and again, those few are in the Bookmark Menu, not the Bookmark Bar.
    Can anyone help with this?
    iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011; 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X Lion 10.7.5
    iPod Model PC544LL/A; version 6.1.3
    iPad Model MD515LL/A; version 6.1.3

    So what you are saying is that if I save a url on my desktop Mac as a Boomark Bar item, it SHOULd sync to the Bookmark Bar on my iOS devices?  That was the issue I was complaining about.  It was not.  Please confirm that because I am only assuming that from your last paragraph above.
    As for the whole duplicate thing, from my searching the forums today I realize that is a common "issue" people are complaining about - that their bookmark bar items are also showing in the bookmark menu.  I think that is what you were referring to.
    So I did try your set of steps in your last paragraph above and they did not work.  In fact, nothing seemed to sync except the test Boomark Bar folder addition I made on my iPad which synced to my iPod touch.  Other than that, nothing else synced from my Desktop - neither in my Bookmark Bar or my Boomark Menu.
    Posbily related - Unforntunately, becasue I was having this problem earlier and also had noticed the whole issue with the fact I had all of the same folders on my Desktop Bookmark Menu as I had in my Desktop Bar - I tried to solve that issue by deleting all of the items under my Bookmark Menu, and now I do not have anything in that folder except:
    Recent Tags
    Recently Bookmarked
    Get Bookmark Add-ons
    Feeds (folder with items in it)
    Unsorted Bookmarks (folder empty)
    Is that part of my problem now?
    Thanks,

  • Spring Loaded Folders in Bookmark Bar

    My apologies if this has already been asked (I couldn't find anything).
    Is it possible or is there a plugin that will allow folders in the bookmark bar to act like spring loaded finder folders?
    For example I have an Apple folder in my bookmarks bar which contains a number of sub-folders like hardware, software etc. If I drag and drop an address onto the Apple folder it just ends up in that folder, I would like to be able to hover over Apple and the subfolders become visible.
    At the moment I have to Show All Bookmarks and organise from there. This seems like a really obvious thing to me, am I just missing a preference checkbox somewhere?
    Many thanks

    Tom, I've never thought about that before. However, when you wish to bookmark a page, if you click on the Add Bookmark button i.e. the "+" sign/button next to the url/address window, you get a drop-down menu which shows the geometry of all the nested folders in your bookmark collection. It's just a simple case of scrolling down to the appropriate folder.
    Apologies if you know that already and it's not of any use.

  • In Firefox4, can I lose the folder icons from the Bookmarks Bar while keeping icons everywhere else (because the folder icons are superfluous and extend the horizontal list of bookmark folders beyond the width of the window)?

    I've just installed Firefox4 for Mac (OS 10.6.7) and can no longer see all my bookmark folders at once across the top -- because the folder icons make the Bookmarks Bar too wide. Yet, I like the icons on the other bars, so I don't want to turn them off globally. Is there a way to just lose the folder icons -- which don't appear to serve a purpose anyway?

    Small correction to original post. Machine is an iMac 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. (I was at home when I made the first post.) But the bookmarks menu behavior still exists today and FF 5 is essentially unusable.
    System details next to the post are not for machine with the bug in question.
    Found a copy of FF4 to use until a solution is found. Turned off automatic updates to preserve this version.

  • How do you add folders and organize bookmarks? I've been able to do it in the past, but can't seem to figure it out now

    I've been trying to add folders to my bookmarks menu and can't find the option to do that.
    Also, how do I add directly to a folder. As of now, I have to add it as a loose bookmarked item, then click and drag to a folder.

  • Opening folders in the bookmarks bar

    Is it possible to make folders in the bookmarks bar to open "like other menus" i.e. when you move your mouse to the next folder the old one closes and the new one opens. Now I have to click the new menufolder twice. The first click closes the old one and the second opens the new one.

    I am running 10.6.7 and Safari 5.0.5 on a MBP silver keys) and I am not able to get Safari to save bookmarks to the bar. I have tried a few times now but whenever I quit and reopen Safari the bookmark bar resets to the default. GRRRR

  • Problem with the folders in bookmarks bar

    I have many folders in my bookmarks bar that are set to open all on click (have the square beside them). I know that if I click and hold, the links should drop down and I should be able to choose to open just one. The problem is that when I click and hold they don't drop down. I used to have to try about three times before it would work, in Leopard. But since Snow Leopard it hardly ever works. Any suggestions?

  • After restoring my bookmarks, I am having problems viewing all of my folders while trying to add a new bookmark

    About a month ago, I lost some of my bookmarks, specifically, a whole folder. Since I periodically make backup of my bookmarks, I restored my last backup and everything worked well. Until I tried to bookmark a new URL. When I try to add a bookmark, the folder tree I see where to include my new bookmark does not reflect the folders that appear when I navigate through my bookmarks. I try moving around, up to see if I can get to my whole folder tree, but I just cannot find it.
    How can I restore the coherency among the regular bookmark folder tree that appears when navigating, and the folder tree when I try to add a new bookmark?

    Thanks Griff, but I had tried all of that.  I found that I could get it to work most of the time if I ran iTunes in Compatability Mode for Vista Service Pack 2.  The problem was that it would work most of the time but not all of the time.  The thing was that I could see the AirPort devices with AirPort Utility so it was very frustrating. 
    I upgraded to iTunes 11.0.4.4 today and it seems to have solved the problem for now.  My AirPlay devices are now recognized by iTunes.  I think Apple knew that they were having problems, hence the short time for this new one!

  • I imported my Favorites from I.E., but when I add a new Bookmark in Firefox, I do not see my folders from I.E.

    I can see my imported Favorites in the Bookmark Menu but when I go to add a new Bookmark I can't put that Bookmark directly into a folder that I imported. Looks like I have to create a new folder every time for each new category.

    Your imported bookmarks from IE should all be in one folder named "From Internet Explorer". The imported Bookmarks are kept separate for easier identification by the user. You can move them to other folders outside of that folder if you wish; you can also delete any duplicates that you may have placed into Firefox Bookmarks/folders before the import.

  • When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder?

    When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder? The endless scrolling technique is far too tedious when trying to add a new bookmark, because the window is simply too tiny. Is there maybe a plug-in that will let me grab the corner of that window and re-size it? Thanks!

    I suggest you install the "Add Bookmark to Here2" extension, then you can expand the the list but you will not see the bookmark itself in the list if that is what you wanted. At the top you have three major folders you can select one of them and scroll up and down. Below that you have your most recently used folders and you can select one of them instead and scroll up and down. You can see the folder the bookmark is in -- they get added to the bottom
    If you really want to see the bookmark within the folder the same extension allows you to bring the bookmark to the folder from say the bookmarks sidebar that is why it is named as such. I use it but mainly i use the dialog.
    Please continue reading about bookmarks and some related extensions at

    If you are not using tags at all, you can remove a whole lot of confusion by removing them from the dialog via the extension.

  • Deleting "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu" folders from Bookmarks

    Hi all,
    I synched my Safari Bookmarks...really didn't need to and now I don't want these "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu" folders. Why can't I delete them?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Both of these menus can be deleted from Safari's iPhone bookmarks menu but the process is a little involved and requires the use of Property List Editor for the Developer Tools package.
    If you have this, chances are you already know what to do, but otherwise you will need to download the Developer Tools package from Apple (and even on a fast connection) it is probably quicker to reload your iPhone from scratch.
    But just in case:
    1a) Quit Safari on your computer.
    1b) with you iPhone sync'd to iTunes, unselect the sync automatically box. (You can go back later, just do it for now.)
    2) Navigate to ~/Library/Safari/Booksmarks.plist file.
    3) Make a copy and rename it Bookmarks(original).plist. This is your backup file in case things go wrong.
    4) Launch Safari.
    5) Create a new folder called Bookmarks, or whatever you want your top level Bookmarks folder to be on your iPhone.
    6) Drag all folders and urls that you want for you iPhone into this folder.
    7) Arrange it the way that you want. You can also do this on the iPhone, but it is easier to do it here, than on the phone.
    8) QUIT SAFARI AND DO NOT RELAUNCH IT. (This is important, because you are going to edit this file to remove those folders and Safari will recreate them if you launch it.)
    9) Open your Bookmarks.plist file in the Property List Editor.
    10) Navigate to the Children arrow and expand.
    11) Select the "0" item and delete (That is the Bookmarks bar, or Bookmarksbar menu that Safari hard codes to the bookmarks list)
    12) Select the "1" item and also delete (This is the BookmarksMenu item)
    13) If you poke around in this file, you will notice the History, RSS feeds, and your top level menu that you created in #5.
    14) Save the modifications and close the Bookmarks.plist file, (save changes if prompted).
    15) DO NOT LAUNCH SAFARI (just a reminder)
    16) Launch iTunes and select the iPhone, DO NOT SYNC IT YET.
    17) Select the info tab, and scroll to the Web Browser section and select the "Sync Safari bookmarks" checkbox.
    18) Scroll to the Advanced section and select the "Bookmarks" checkbox.
    19) Click "Apply" and "Sync"
    20) wait for sync to complete.
    21) remove iPhone from cradle and check your Safari bookmarks. You should be good to go with the iPhone's Safari and its bookmarks, however you are not done yet.
    22) THIS IS IMPORTANT. For this modification to last, you have to go back to iTunes.
    23) reinstall the iPhone on the cradle, AGAIN DO NOT SYNC.
    24) go back to the "Sync Safari bookmarks" checkbox and unselect it. Then click the "Apply" button again. This will prevent Safari on your computer from syncing to Safari on your iPhone. If you ever do, with this box checked, those two pesky menus will reappear.
    25) You are done.
    Hope this helped,
    zac
