How can I remove all my bookmarks from iCloud and start a fresh with only the ones on my iMac

I accidentally deleted bookmark gilders on my iPad 4 and iCloud removed them from my iMac, iPhone 5, iPhone 4, iPad 2 and MacBook Pro. I turned off Safari on all devices for syncing with iCloud and used Time Machine to restore my Bookmarks.plist on my iMac, but iCloud keeps removing it and replacing the plist with the latest version. I want to remove all the Safari a bookmarks from iCloud, but don't know how to do this, can anyone help.

Just a note about the difference between these two things:
* "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
* "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.

* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]

Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile.

Can I retrieve bookmarks from iCloud

Hello
I have recently been having issues with my safari running slowly and not loading some pages correctly. I found a solution of deleting my safari folder ~Library/Safari... big mistake, I forgot my bookmarks pList was in here and I didn't make a backup... total tool I know.
However, I have previously been syncing my bookmarks with iCloud and I do have all my bookmarks there. I unticked sync bookmarks as soon as I realised my mistake. However, when I go to re-tick sync bookmarks it want's to overwrite my iCloud with the bookmarks saved on my mac (which are currently the default safari ones).
Both my iPad and iPhone, still display my bookmarks that are synced from iCloud.
So here's my question: Can I retrieve the bookmarks from iCloud to restore to my mac? If not, Can I retrieve them from either of my iOS devices? Or is it going to be a long and slow process of emailing all my bookmarks from the iOS devices?
Many Thanks

Auto-Sync Bookmarks from iCloud Account 1 to iCloud Account 2

I have two different mac machines using two different registrations. I am able to keep the calendars, notes, reminders in sync between them automatically.
I need to keep the safari bookmarks also in sync automatically. I don't want to manually download and upload everytime. Please suggest ideas or tips for this?

"iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

Is there a way to force iCloud to choose the bookmarks from safari on my computer?
When I turn on Safari sharing in iCloud, it merges, and messes things up.
I'm running latest Yosemite and iOS8 on all devices.
Thanks!

Thanks Linc. I just tried it. Turned of Safari sync on all devices, but when I turn on Safari sync on my computer to start things off, it's still getting the old data from somewhere. Maybe it's storing it in the cloud and I need to delete that data somehow? I definitely turned off sync on all possible devices.
Thanks for helping! I really appreciate it.

ICloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC

iCloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC
I don't even use IE but since the Firefox app won't open the bookmarks in Safari, I thought I'd just copy my Firefox bookmarks to IE, then use the cloud sync. (I am syncing and backing up to iCloud, and not my PC)
I did this all last night: backed up and then synced to iCloud Another thread suggested that you shut down IE so I did that. Someone else had suggested on a different thread that un-checking and re-checking the Bookmark check box in the iCloud Control panel would trigger a re-sync...did that all last night in hopes it would sync and it didn't.
I manually deleted everything in the Safari bookmarks in the Phone that it would allow, but now strangely enough in addition to the "Reading List" and "history" folders, I have TWO "Bookmarks Bar" folders with identical contents.
So I'm trying to be patient and thought maybe it takes some time for it to re-sync so I left iTunes up and running on the PC overnight...as usual....so I tried again this evening. I still have my old bookmarks on the iPhone (4S), and they've never pulled in.
Thoughts?

Gee, I don't know what to tell you....I can open IE, add a folder, resync my iPhone to the iCloud, and the new folder appears. I even tried it while leaving IE open (I had read on another thread that closing it might help, but it had no adverse impact on my ability to sync).
Well, all I can suggest is to give Safari a try, or use the Firefox app (unfortunately it's a multi-step process to open a link through Safari, but that might not bother you)
Or, just run through these checkpoints one more time to make sure nothing is missed.
Are you running Windows 7 or later, and have you downloaded the iCloud Control panel for Windows?

Do you have Bookmarks turned on in iCloud settings on your iOS device?
You may have done exactly this, but if not, give this a try (and may help others in the future)
Deselect Bookmark syncing in the iCloud control panel     on your PC.
Deselect iCloud Bookmarks on your iOS device. It should     then prompt you to take action with the previously synced bookmarks on     your device. Choose "Delete from my iPhone (or whatever delete option     it gives you).
Sync manually to the cloud through your iOS device. You should have no bookmarks on your device.
Now turn everything back on...
In the iCloud control panel, re-select     Bookmarks/Internet Explorer
on your iOS device, re-enable iCloud Bookmark Syncing
Now manually back up your iOS device to iCloud

How do I sync bookmarks from safari on my pc to my iPhone with the iCloud

How do I sync bookmarks from safari on my pc to my iPhone with the iCloud?

Do you have Windows 7 or XP? If you have Win7, install the iCloud control panel for Windows and set it up there (Ignore the fact that it shows IE in the control panel, once you check it off, you'll be able to select Safari).
If you have Windows XP, you don't.

How to delete all calendars from icloud?

So I decided it was finally time to try out iCloud, and immediately regretted this decision when my iCal, Safari bookmarks and Address Book all got messed up in different ways. I've managed to fix all these issues (by signing out of iCloud on all my devices and restoring my bookmarks and address book from backups) and I've deleted all old backups from iCloud so it's now showing 5GB of 5GB as free. And yet, when I went to icloud.com I could still see the calendars and contacts that were there before. I've deleted all the contacts, and all the calendars but one, but when I got to the last calendar and tried to delete it I got the following message : "you need to have at least one calendar that you own. To delete this calendar, create a new one."
The best part is, even if I create a new calendar there I still get that message when I try to delete the other one. Is it too much to want to simply delete everything off my iCloud? This entire process has been beyond frustrating. Any help would be much appreciated.

Look like you have duplicate calendars. Find the name of the calendar on your iPhone and the color of the event labels. Then look at your computer. Find the one with the different label/name/color. You can delete that calendar.

Exporting bookmarks from a Mac with broken video

I can't export the bookmarks from the broken iMac because its video has failed, but I can access the contents of its HD over the network and can see the ...Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles folder. It seems empty but Get Info tells me it contains 380.5 Mb.
I would like to somehow copy and paste the data onto a second Mac, over the network, then merge the two sets of bookmarks (but would settle with exporting the second Mac's bookmarks, then overwriting them with the iMac's, before re-importing the exported bookmarks to create a merged file).
Everything on the iMac is backed up on Time Machine if this helps, but I don't use iCloud.

In the Library/Caches/Firefox/ location only the disk cache and some other files are located.
You can find the main profile folder here:
* /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.

How do I export bookmarks from my ipod to my pc?

Hi there,
I have a new laptop (Samsung N120 notebook) and am trying to upload my bookmarks from my iPhone 3GS. I have tried using iTunes and have downloaded v.10.5.3. I have just uploaded IOS 5 onto my iPhone so I should be ready to go.
I've signed up to iCloud but don't know how to export the bookmarks from my Safari on my iPhone.
On iTunes under the info tab the only mention of bookmarks is 'Your bookmarks are being synced with your iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over the air settings can be changed on your iPhone' but nothing appears to have happened.
Would appreciate any wisdom/advice people might have on the topic. Thanks!

HT203519 Is there a way to recover my bookmarks from the cloud that were deleted in a sync from another browser?

I've had by bookmarks synced for years across my browsers with no problems. I recently purchased a new PC and added the iCloud interface to sync my bookmarks with Firefox and now they are gone, Firefox because the dominate list instead of downloading from the cloud. Hoping those bookmarks from a previous date are still there to download.

Unfortunately if your backup is password protected you can't extract data from it without the password. There are programs that will extract data from an iPhone backup, but not if they it is password protected. (This is actually a good thing since it protects your security.) My suggestion is that you make a copy of this backup to a save location somewhere else on your computer so you can restore to it in the future to recover you photos should you remember your password later. If you leave it there, the next time you sync your phone it will overwrite the backup and will never be able to get it back.

I have lost all of my iphone contacts. How do i get them back from icloud?

I have lost all of my Contacts on iPhone. I switched off Contacts in iCloud and did not save the numbers to my phone, thinking that when I switched Contacts back on, it would resync and it does not appear to be doing so. Any help to get my contacts back on my phone from iCloud would be much appreciated. Thank you.

pls tell me to to get back the bookmark menu. I haven't saved them other places.
