Can not organize Bookmarks

All of a sudden I can not organize or drag my bookmarks, where as before I could do it. Has anyone experienced this? and possible solutions?

escorpiongordo,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try this:
1. Safari>File>Export Bookmarks.
2. Quit Safari.
3. Find the Bookmarks.plist file in your Users/yourusername/Library/Safari Folder, and drag it to the desktop.
4. Start Safari and you will notice that the default bookmarks should appear.
5. Safari>File>Import Bookmarks (Import the file that you created in step 1.
Let us know what happens.
;~)

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 pin bookmarks to 2 new toolbars that I created & it will not show those toolbars in the toolbar menu, how can I get these to show up in the toolbar menu to allow me to pin bookmarks to them it is only showing the bookmark toolbar its full.

I have tried to drag and drop the bkmks to the TB and it will not allow that either. Neither show up in the menu when I am adding a bkmk.

See Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6937
You can't place bookmarks on a new toolbar. You can only place a bookmark on the toolbar that has the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on it.

I upgraded my iPad to os6 and now my bookmarks in safari disappeared and I can not add bookmarks. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

I upgraded IPAD to os6. Now Safari has lost all my bookmarks and won't let me add any new bookmarks or new folders. What is wrong? How do I fix this? IPAD was not synced to laptop.

I also upgraded iPad 2 to os6. However, I have not lost my bookmarks but I cannot add or delete any new bookmarks or new folders.

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.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
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.

When I go to full view I can not find bookmarks

I am using OS & 6.01 Firefox .

Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Organize Bookmarks In iPad Safari?

Can you organize Bookmarks in Folders?

Yes.
Open a Safari window, click on the bookmarks view (the book icon top left) go to the bookmarks menu in the top menu bar and select new bookmark folder then name it. Drag the relevant bookmarks to that folder.
You can also make sub folders by clicking on the parent folder and following the same process.
You can organize your bookmarks alphabetically within a folder by dragging the folder to the desktop, letting it organize it's contents automatically the dragging it back to Safari and deleting the old unorganized folder.
Hope this helps more
than the "no" answers you received. No or yes is not too helpful without an explanation

Nokia Content Copier Does Not Restore Bookmark

Hi,
I found the Nokia Content Copier of N96 PC Suit does not work normally,
I have backuped my phone content to a file named as "N96_Bookmark.nbu", this backup file includes "Bookmark" data,
After finishing backup, I delete all the BBC bookmarks from the Browser of N96,
Then, I restoring Bookmark through Content Copier, it shows the result as below:
The following data was restored to the Nokia device:
- Bookmarks
But When I open Browser from N96 and found no any bookmark is restored, nothing happened.
Now, I lost all my BBC bookmarks on N96.
Why Content Copier Can not restore bookmark?? And how to slove??
Thanks.

I have added BBC bookmarks by manually,
But I want to know why Content Copier does not working?

I have been organizing my bookmarks into folders. There are a bunch of bookmarks that appear on the Bookmarks Menu that do not appear when I used the Organize Bookmarks option. Therefore I can't organize them. How do I get at them and move them to folders

I used Organize Bookmarks to put some bookmarks in folders. When I had done all the bookmarks that appeared outside of folders in the Organize Bookmarks window, I closed it and looked at my bookmarks menu. Under my folders were some other bookmarks that I hadn't seen in Organize Bookmarks and when I used it again, they still weren't visible. Therefore, I couldn't move them into folders.

Update - I discovered that the entire list of bookmarks can be accessed in the Organize Bookmarks window by clicking on the icon for Bookmarks Menu.
This seem like odd interface behaviour to me.
All the other software I use follows the pattern that an icon with a triangle to the left, which you click on to expand the menu tree downwards, shows the entire contents of the category when you click on the triangle. In other words, you don't get a different response by clicking on the icon from what you get by clicking on the triangle.
It also seems odd to me that when an unsorted bookmarks folder is automatically provided that unsorted bookmarks would not be placed there by default.
Anyway, by getting the list of bookmarks displayed this way I was able to simply right-click on items in the list and delete them, as I thought I should be able to do. Problem solved. Organize Bookmarks interface found to be somewhat unintuitive.

I have a long list of bookmarks. They are not sorted. They do not appear anywhere in the "organize bookmarks" window. Where are they? I want to delete a bunch of them but can't find a way.

This is Firefox 3.6.8 and Mac OS 10.5.8.
Right clicking on a bookmark does nothing. I don't know if that is a Firefox version issue or a mouse issue, but the mouse can right click on the Mac OS desktop and get the usual menus.
It is possible for me to delete bookmarks which still point to an active web page because there I can use the star to edit the bookmark. That is way too cumbersome a process for the long list I have. Some are old and no longer point to an active page. The star comes up empty in those cases anyway and I can do nothing about the bookmark.
Bottom line is that I just need a way to see the whole list and choose the ones to delete.
I thought they should all show up in the unsorted bookmarks folder but it is empty. That may be the crux of the problem.

I need to export my bookmarks but the "Organize bookmarks" is not available in the menu anymore. How can I proceed?

I have FireFox 7.0.1 (italian), I need to save my bookmarks not to have to retype them while migrating to the new OS. In yor help pages it is stated that I can save bookmarks going under BookMarks menu, selecting Organiza bookmarks… and saving them as HTML.
The prblem is: there is no such a menu voice, so I cannot save my bookmarks (or I do not know how to do it).

"Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4 and later.

I kept all my site-specific user IDs and passwords in the "notes" section under Organize Bookmarks. I can't find Organize Bookmarks any more, and the Show All Bookmarks doesn't have this feature! HELP!

Many sites require me to set up an account, and all have differing requirements for user names and passwords. In the old Firefox, in the Organize Bookmarks section, when you look at any bookmarked site, there was a place at the bottom (More...) where you could write notes to yourself. I used this space to write down my username and password for that site. Since I only visit some sites annually (to renew membership, etc or pay annual dues) I can't remember the passwords or user names. PLEASE tell me I haven't lost all that information! If I've lost all those passwords and user IDs I'm royally screwed! Thanks

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

My recent tags drop down doesn not show all of my bookmarks like it did before. They are saved but I have to go to organize bookmarks to find them. How can I expand the tags drop down?

I switched computers and am in the process of adding by bookmarks and tagging them. Some of my tags no t longer appear in the drop down even though I have just viewed them. Any suggestions?

The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) is for displaying the bookmarks in different sorting orders (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently.
Right-click a folder to open the context menu and choose "Sort By Name" in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager or in the side bar to sort the bookmarks alphabetically or drag bookmarks to the wanted position. If dragging doesn't work then use Cut and Paste instead.
