Book mark folders no longer spring open??

Some of my sub-folders in the book marks no longer spring open. I've tried creating new subs and it seems that when I add certain book marks is when they stop working (ex http://inter800.com/ is one that stops a sub folder from opening)
After this happened I did an update and was taken to FF 9.0.1 . Using Mac 10.6.8
I tried creating a new places.sqlite file, and no help.
Any Ideas other than just don't put the offending bookmarks back into their sub folders??

Thank you Cor-el!!!!! I've got 1 sub folder done so far and it seems to work just fine. I noticed it does not matter on main folders, only sub folders. Do you know what the character limit is for the sub folders??

  • Sidebar folders don't "spring open" any more

    I've seen this behavior on a number of Macs (including mine). At some point the ability to drag a file onto a Finder window sidebar folder and have that folder "spring open" to show its contents has disappeared. All other drag & drop works fine and the spring-loaded folders ability on all other folders (in Finder windows or on the Desktop) remains.
    It's just the Sidebar folders that refuse to spring open. Note I can still drop items on those sidebar folders and have the dropped item moved (or copied).
    My Intel iMac (OSX 10.4.6) now has this problem whereas my new Macbook works fine. I'm pretty sure there's some app I've installed that's pooched this. Im also pretty sure I saw this problem (and the answer to it) posted somewhere. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Barry,
    Plist files contain instructions for recording and executing tasks associated with the the application or function that owns them. They can and do become corrupted. If you look in the ~Library/Preferences Folder you can usually guess what application or function the .plist serves by analyzing the file name. In your case com.apple.sidebarlists.plist was the suspect.
    Proper identification of the appropriate .plist is not always so obvious, but for example com.apple.iCal.plist is the preference file for iCal. When an application malfunctions, removing the associated .plist file from the preferences folder to the Desktop is often the best first troubleshooting step.
    If you have a problem with an application, Quit the application, find the associated plist file in the Preferences Folder, and move it to the Desktop as a first step in your troubleshooting procedure. Then log out/in or restart and re-evaluate the performance of the application.
    A new default .plist file is automatically created in your Preferences Folder after you remove the recalcitrant .plist and initiate the log out/in restart sequence. You can expect default application behavior and you will have to reset some preferences. If the application or function returns to normal after removing the .plist file, it will prove that the original file was corrupt, and you can now safely trash the .plist file which you placed on the Desktop.
    If the application or function is unsatisfactory, the original copy of the plist file which was placed on the Desktop can be safely returned to the preferences folder. Just allow the system to replace the newer plist.
    If you are having problems with any aspect of OS X, experiment with deleting the appropriate .plist file. Plist corruption is common and .plist file deletion often cures many problems. Too many users try intricate solutions first and end up complicating their problem.

  • Adding to Book Marks

    Hi
    when i click the plus sign in safari to add to book marks it shows me all books marks and expand the tree so book marks
    and sub book marks all are shown and i need to scroll in long list, so is there a way to show the main book mark folders
    without expanding them, or even better to type and search for the book mark folder ?

    In Safari from the menu: Bookmarks>Show All Bookmarks. Arrange your bookmarks in folders with a topic or some sort of systematized logic.

  • I can no longer organize my drop down book mark list ,from the toolbar in alphabetical order like I used to Why ?

    Used to, I could organize my drop down book mark list from the tool bar, in alphabetical order from A-Z by clicking on view, sort by, select . Now every time I add a new bookmark it goes to the bottom of my bookmark list in Unsorted bookmarks . I can go to the bookmarks and sort the menu in Alpha. order. However, when I go back and drop down the bookmark list from the tool bar, the new bookmarks are still in the Unsorted list at the bottom. The bookmark's menu may or not have them in assorted list. This occurred several updates back. Why can I no longer sort the drop down book marks list in A-Z alph. order? This is a major obstacle when trying to search for a particular bookmark that I have made in the not too distant past.

    That did solve my problem. Madperson Thank You Very Much!!!!! I'm not real literate on the mechanics of working computers even though I use them all the time. Basically I'm a point & click kinda guy and beyond that I'm pure novice! This is going to save me a lot of wasted time.

    You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
    You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

    Don't know if that would be a failing hard drive, but it may be that you are out of available space. How much hard drive space do you have available? Please highlight the Macintosh HD icon and then press Command and I for a get info window. Once open, please copy and post the following:

  • Why some book marks open in side bar window and some don't, I want to turn it off

    I can well imagine that they are.
    I would backup, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then try again. If that fails, restore again but do not use the backup - restore as new. If the iPad functions OK as new, then slowly rebuild the iPad adding your apps, music etc, methodically to see if you can pin down what might be causing the problem.
    if all of that fails, it's time to schedule an appointment at an Apple a Store (must be done online) and have them take a look, or of it is lees than two weeks old, just return it for a refund and buy another one.

  • Un filed book marks did not transfer .how can I import them with out duplication of other folders ?

    I down loaded Fire fox and selected the option of importing IE favorites.The folders and their contence transfered fine but no unfiled favourites transfered .How can I now import the untransfered book marks with out duplacating previously transfered files and folders.

    Try import again, i think Firefox wont duplicate the bookmarks that already exist:
    *[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-internet-explorer Import Bookmarks from Internet Explorer]
    In IE try export only the bookmarks that you want:
    *http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites#ie=ie-11
    (IE export as HTML)
    Then Import to Firefox:

  • I have safari in my iPad but bookmark is not working. I can not book mark any things.  How do I get back my bookmark working so that I can open the web page I have already booked marked.  Thank you for your answer

    I have iPad 2.
    The safari bookmark was working yesterday.  Today book mark is not working.  I can not book mark anything. 
    Did I do anything to prevent stopping bookmark to store?  Please help me how to get back working my bookmark.  Thank you.

    See if this works.
    Quit the Safari app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent 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.
    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.

  • Fire Fox not working lost my passwords and book marks

    Hello, my old version of firefox needed updated for a long time now, I have a Mac Book OXS 10. 5. 7.
    The firefox worked ok however, but I went to update the new version, when I opened up the downloaded file, it asked me if I wanted to replace the other version, I selected yes, and when I did, the new one says it wont allow me to open it, now I have no fire fox anymore, my book marks are gone, and my passwords were remembered by my firefox if you know what I mean. I really need some help, what do I do now???
    Bill

    The version of Mac that you are running doesn't support modern versions of Firefox. Download Firefox 16.0.2 from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/16.0.2/mac/en-US/ and install it. You should have Firefox back up and running.
    You should seriously consider upgrading to at least Mac 10.6, preferably something like 10.7 or higher. 10.5 hasn't received any updates in a very long time, and if I remember correctly, the 10.6 upgrade is only about $40 US. You will then be able to use a modern version of Firefox

  • What files constitute Safari Book marks and other files

    Hi -- I recently installed a new internal Seagate 1TB SSHD drive into my MBP 15" Late 2011 to replace the OEM 500GB internal HD.  Did a clean install with OS X Recovery.  So far so good.  But I didn't transfer over the Safari settings.  (Though I have them on my backup drive -- that is I transferred all the system files to the external drive).  Would someone please let me know the names of the critical files for Safari settings (including book marks etc).  Also if you could tell me where these files actually reside (i.e. what folders, etc).  Thanks!

    Open the home folder on your backup and then Library/Safari/; all of the Safari database files for your user account are in it.
