Can not delete bookmarks

I have a mac mini, and use to be able to delete bookmarks. I no longer can. I do it the way I always have done it. What may be the problem

Sounds like you may need to re-install Safari.
1. Make sure you have an alternate browser like Firefox installed.

2. Save your bookmarks. Safari>File>Export Bookmarks
3. Delete Safari from the Applications folder also your User Account>Library>Safari folder
4. Use your alternate browser to download Safari from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/safari/
5. Re-install Safari and import your saved bookmarks.
You might want to consider upgrading to OSX 10.6 but I doubt that is your problem.

For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago.

For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. Why is this happening? This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago. Do not know how the bookmarks even got in there. Some were ok, but no order and some that were never bookmarks. Looks like FF tried to import some BM's from the Virtual XP installed, but did not get it any where near right. I need to completely delete all of them and install from a saved .html file.

Well, I did not see the exact problem that I was having listed in the articles, BUT the problem is solved for now.
I opened FF and the Bookmarks to Organize again. I deleted all of the folders and entries, ONE AT A TIME, AND IT WORKED. Evidently, for what ever reason, FF did not like "Batch" deletes of ANY amount greater than 1 and the HANG UP would occur.
Deleting one at a time then importing the good .html from a good file, loaded the wanted Bookmarks. Yea

I can not delete bookmarks from the bar as I am spammed with many bookmarks.

On my bookmark bar I have multiple instances of "Webmail Notifier" and they are in my bookmark list in many places. I am unable to delete them at all. How can I fix this issue?
I have many bookmarked items that I do not want to lose as well.

I did that and the links disappeared. The problem that I have now is:
I now have 7 empty folders that I am unable to remove on my bookmark bar.
I have many empty folders in my bookmarks that I am unable to remove as well.
I can not move them, I can not delete them.
I am attempting to include a snapshot so you can see.

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks. Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't help. The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks.
Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't rectify it either.
The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the Firefox is being used

I think I have a solution.
First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
Wa-la...History Gone!!!
As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.

I can not delet a bookmark

I have a bookmark I can not delete.I have tried moving it to the trash,I have gone to Edit,I have highlighted it,I have tried everything I can think of.When I go to Bookmarks in the top menu,the list will not go past this one bookmark,but it is in the list when I go to Organize Bookmarks.This bookmark has no info at all,no address,just a name.How can I get rid of it.It is a real pain to have.

I tried doing a back up in Organize Bookmarks.Got a message stating that it was unable to proceed.Well,it got rid of the corrupt bookmark,but it also got rid of all other bookmarks.Luckily I made a JSON file before I did a back up.It"ll take a while to copy all 40 bookmarks,but I'll get it done.
Thanks for your help.

Bookmarks Manager is not available. I can not delete a bookmark.

I recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0 and can no longer delete a Bookmark. I can not delete it directly and both the Bookmark Manager and the Organize Bookmark buttons are missing.
How can I regain these features?

use the Star icon at the right of the URL

Can not delete the bookmarked apps in Iphone Screen

I have bookmark some apps in my Iphone Screen and I can not delete them any more, I try to delete through Itune and manual delete and succesfully deleted but soon after restart the Iphone all deleted apps are back, please help

What you can try is the following:
In the Aperture library package are two folders, one named Folders and the other named Albums. Inside these two folders are files, one named TrashFolder.apfolder the other namedtrashAlbum.apalbum.
With Aperture not running move those two to the desktop and then start Aperture holding down the option and command keys and rebuild the library. The two files will be recreated. Can't guarantee it will correct your trash problem but its worth a shot.
As always whenever you're mucking about in the package there is always the chance that the library could be damaged so a backup is a very good idea.
good luck

You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
Here's how to do the recovery. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

I can't delete bookmarks page in my bookmarks list on toolbars, maybe there is a little bugs. Thx.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I Can not delete appointment made in Outllook in my Iphone

Hello,
I Can not delete appointment made in Outllook and sync in my Iphone (using Exchange Sync).
I can only delete this appointment in my Outlook and then they will be deleted in my Iphone.
Strange situation?
I should be able to create, postpone, delete ....any appointment made from the iphone or from Outlook?
Why can I ?
What is the purpose then to have it sync?
if you can only dothe change on one side and then sync to have it mirored in Iphone
Any clue?
Other question: in my Outlook I have several calendar. When I choose to sync calendars in my iphone, color are picked random. Why can't I choose the color i want in my iphone (why if i want the personal calendar to be green instead of orange? )
Thanks

OK regarding the color of the calendar.
A little trick.
I create as much calendar in Outlook, and then sync with the Iphone (trough Exchange)until the color I wanted show up.
example I wanted the Personal calendar to be GREEN
After test1 + test2 + test3 ........on test5 calendar the color was green.
I then deleted the other calendar not needed.
And the test5 colored green was still in place.
I then rename this calendar to Personal.
And voila
