Are Safari bookmarks saved anywhere else besides Icloud

Are Safari bookmarks backed up anywhere else besides Icloud
I was moving bookmarks around tonight trying to orgize a bunch in different places and a hole folder with several sub folders dispeared out of no where.
I do use time machine as a backup. Would Sarafri have a seprate book mark folder anywhere
Can anyone suggest anything at all to try and get this back?
any help is greatly apprechated

Well said.
You don't go chasing through the backup folders, you look at the current version of what you want restored, then Open Time machine right on top of it. the presentation changes to the "Star Wars" view of that window, receding in time.

Where are Safari Bookmarks Saved for Restore?

I need to backup and reinstall MAC OS X but I have no idea where all my bookmarks from Safari are stored so I can be sure I don't lose them.
Thank You
Patrick

Hello patrick:
In answer to your question, I "think" they are in your home folder (~library>safari.... bookmarks.plist). However, I have never tested that premise.
If I were you, I would do an archive and install:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
An A&I will install a fresh OS X while preserving your files, programs, and settings. A backup of everything is always a good idea before any software changes.
IMHO, there is almost NO reason to do an erase and install.

I have an old ipod and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library. My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else.

I have an old ipod (it's the very thin oblong one in purple, the one before the one that does video) and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library. My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else. I now have an iPhone 5S and listen to music on that, so want to be able to listen to things from the old ipod too.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks very much
Jane

Apple normally does not get involved in handling lost objects like this. Since a real name is not installed it will be much more difficult.
You can try contacting Apple support at the US number, assume you are US going to BWI from the listing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and explain the situation and see if they offer any suggestions.

Are Safari bookmarks backed up to iCloud automatically?

Recently, my MacBook Pro (running 10.8.4) was hacked and remotely accessed. Following this, I cleared my hard drive and reinstalled the OS. I didn't back up with Time Machine; I did it manually with an external hard drive. I've just noticed that all of my Safari bookmarks have been restored. I've been a bit on edge after being hacked, and I just wanted to know how that happened?

Have you enabled iCloud in your Preferences and set it to sync Safari? Then your setiings may have been restored from the cloud.
And depending on how you restored your system from an external drive, your bookmarks could have been restored from your user library, if you transferred your preferences:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

Safari-Bookmarks won't sync with iCloud and other devices, MobileMe still "active"?

Hello, I've got a problem with my iMac runnning 10.7.5
"He" does not want to sync bookmarks (safari) from the local iMac to anywhere else.
(I also use a Macbook white, iPad 1 and iPhone 4).
Not to other devices, not to iCloud.
I can switch off and on the "sync bookmarks"-checkbox as often as i want - nothing happens after "merge".
One ore maybe interesting Information:
In my system-Settings i can still click on "MobileMe" and the button "move to iCloud" ist still shown.
If I press the button, I see the Erorr-message "mobileme has ended" or something linke this.
If I start the MobileMe-"Application", I get an error after some seconds "service not available".
Some months ago i changed from a older iMac to the newer one (using TimeMachine-Restore).
I can not remember if the problem came with this switch or not.
Any hints?
Thanks!
Greetings from the cold Germany.

Yes, I could disconnect from Mobileme but this does not change anything regarding the problem.
bookmarks are still not transfered to other devices.
In the system-Settings, the mobileMe-Entry is still available and I coud try to "sign on to mobileme"
Disable and enable bookmark-sync after disconnecting from mobileme does not change anything.
The Merge of the Bookmars (question comes after disable and enable again) takes ohly 0,0005 seconds to merge. Very fast.
One more thing: if I log on to iCloud, I can nowhere find anything regarding bookmarks.
Where to find the bookmarks online normally??? I remember some years ago, using the running mobileme-service, i could access my bookmarks from any pc all around the world...
Any further hints?

Why are safari bookmarks disappearing?

Anyone know why safari bookmarks are disappearing after shutting down and restarting?
Any help would be appreciated!

Did you configure iCloud to sync Safari bookmarks?

Why are Safari bookmarks taking the place of Firefox bookmarks on my Macbook.

I installed Mozilla Firefox on my Macbook. My Safari bookmarks have populated where my Firefox bookmarks should be and my Sync account exports no Firefox bookmarks. Can anyone help me with this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Still the Safari bookmarks and Sync is doing nothing.

As soon as I submitted this question, I noticed the Firefox bookmarks toolbar was suddenly populated my Safari bookmarks from my Macbook Air. The Sync account on my Mac had exported my Safari bookmarks to my Desktop PC. I freaked out and then restored my bookmarks from >Library>Import and Backup. I have close to 1000 bookmarks that I have saved. I am moving and need to pack away my PC and I will only have use of my Macbook. And I rely heavily on my Firefox bookmarks for research. Thank you anyone for helping me figure out why my Safari bookmarks have overrode my Firefox Sync account and toolbar.

Trying to move avi files from iPad - already deleted from my camera so not saved anywhere else

HI
i stupidly imported movies from my camera directly onto my iPad and then deleted them from my camera. So now the AVI files are on my iPad but I can't view them on the device. And all of the apps I tried seem to use itunes to "locate" the files. This is not an option as I imported them straight to the iPad. iPad wont let me email these files to anywhere as I guess they are just not recognised. Can't access them via iCloud etc. Is there any way I can move these files from my iPad to a usable source?
thanks

They're probably also too big to e-mail. Video files are normally huge and e-mails often have a 10-25 meg per message limit. I have a 3 minute video that's 300 megs.
Have you looked to something like dropbox? Upload them there, download them to your computer? You'll need the dropbox app but it should work.
Also, do you have a PC? have you tried using windows explorer? If the videos are in your camera roll (not sure if they will be since you imported them) all you need to do is plug your iPad into a PC, ignore the open iTunes part and use 'my computer' and windows explorer to gain access to your iPad. Go to 'my computer' see if you can see your ipad, double cllick on it, you'll see a DCIM folder. Inside that will be a myriad of folders created by the iPad. My suggestion would be to just drag everything over then go through it and see if your AVI's are in there.

Where are safari bookmarks stored

need to locate where in the system Safari stores the bookmarks file.

You're right, AndyBall, I'd forgotten that one... Though plist files aren't easy to decrypt, and usually need Xcode installed to edit, this is where bookmarks settings are stored.
Antonio, most of what you want to do with your bookmarks (edit names, URLs, delete them, etc...) can be done directly from Safari. What do you need to do with your bookmarks, exactly?

Transfer Safari bookmarks to another iphone help

Hi all,
I am thinking about upgrading my iPhone 4 to a 5. However, as I use my current phone a lot for work when out and about, I have a lot of useful Safari bookmarks saved on it. I will need to transfer these bookmarks to a new phone. However, on my home PC I have a completely different set of internet favourites saved. I understand (and I may well be completely incorrect!), that synching will match up the favourites on the phone on PC, but this is want I want to avoid. I just want to be able to transfer the saved bookmarks on the old phone to a new phone, without matching them up to the PC.
Is this at all possible, or is it a pipedream? Alternatively (and hopefully!), I'm missing something really obvious and simple!
Thanks.

iCloud will transfer bookmarks: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2573

Duplicate safari bookmarks

After upgrading to Yosemite, all of my macs (using 2013 iMac now) have tons and tons of duplicate sets of the same bookmarks, which also seems to be causing Safari to take an EXTREMELY long time to launch. There is no obvious way to delete multiple duplicates at the same time, but regardless, delete any makes Safari hang for a couple minutes while it reloads the whole mess of duplicates again.
I'm too nervous to even get to my MacBook, iPad and iPhone yet to see what the synced bookmarks now look like on those devices
1) anybody know WHY this is happening (the many duplicates of bookmarks)?
2) anybody know how to fix easily enough?

Ok...
On the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Deslect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
On both the iPad and iPhone tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Safari off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
By chance, if you have synced Safari bookmarks using iTunes while using iCloud, that can definitely cause a sync conflict. It's iTunes OR iCloud. Not both.

Saving MAC Safari bookmarks to iCloud

Hi.
I already researched in the iCloud help in icloud.com and I believe you can store your Safari bookmarks on iCloud. But since I now have hundreds of bookmarks, this is critical to me. I'd just like to double check how the bookmarks are retrieved in case I loose my data or my MAC.
The Help item "Documents / Overview" says "iCloud also keeps your Safari bookmarks, Reading List, and iCloud Tabs list up to date on your iOS 6 devices and your Mac with OS X v10.8 or later."
Would you know how it works to retrieve the bookmarks if I loose my MAC data?
1) I don't have iPhone, iPad or iPod. Will I have to buy another Apple device to retrieve the bookmarks or can I access them simply logging in to icloud.com with any computer in the world?
2) In case I get a new MAC, the moment I log in with my Apple ID and open Safari it will automatically retrieve my bookmars, reading list...?
regards

Hi Antonio,
The bookmarks citation above references the automatic "push" of new bookmarks in Safari to all your devices. So, iCloud, in essence, keeps them all in sync. It does not provide a recoverable backup for them, however. Here the link to the iCloud support page which has all of the information about what iCloud will and won't do:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
Hope this clears it up!
Cheers,

I have been infected by trove adware, I was able to remove it, but I couldn't get default setting of safari and keeping bookmarks, saved passwords, ..etc

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Trovi," "Conduit," or "SearchProtect" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove these files in the same way:
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/searchplugins/MyBrand.xml
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/External Extensions/fjadmdmahkpbhgbmmkiiaanlnlekelmn.json
~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
"SearchProtect" may be distributed along with two other applications: "MacKeeper," which is a scam, and "ZipCloud," which, if not actually a scam, has a dubious reputation. Ask if you need instructions to remove those items.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

How do I sync my Iphone 4S Safari bookmarks to my iCloud account or a Windows7 laptop????

Hi,
Can someone let me know how to sync my Iphone Safari Bookmarks to my iCloud account or to my Windows7 laptop. Have been tring since long time in several ways, but couldnt find any source or a way to do it. And moreover my notes in Ihone are not getting synced with the iCloud. The remaining contacts, mails and calenders have no sync issues. All I have problem is with the bookmarks and notes.

If you move the library properly it is the "same" library. If you have to import media into an empty library you're getting it wrong.
At the simplest level you simply copy the entire iTunes folder from user's music on the source computer to user's music on the target copmputer. It only gets complicated if you've started using a non-standard media folder or don't have the Keep... and Copy... options enabled.
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you have to go down that road.

Thank you I will try that if there is nothing else that i can do.
