  • Can I lock the Bookmarks Bar in Safari?

    Hi everyone, I operate a computer lab in an elementary school and would like to lock the Bookmarks Bar in Safari to prevent students from dragging (and deleting) the bookmarks. Thanks for your help.

  • I've lost the option to add to bookmarks bar.  The items I had on bookmarks bar are there but I cannot add new ones. Suggestions please?

    I have lost the option to add to bookmarks bar.  I tried going to safari settings and selecting show bookmarks bar but that is not an option any longer and it only gives show favourites bar.  I've only had my iPad for a few months and it's my first apple computer.  Likely user error and any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Well I feel silly. You were right. And didn't help that my titles for some were too long. Once I got rid of some the newer ones I'd tried to add popped up.  Thank you!

  • I am unable to add a bookmark to a Safari page on my iPhone 4.

    I am unable to add a bookmark to a Safari page on my iPhone 4.  The " " does not appear, so that I can do so.  Is there a fix?

    My apology for the typo.  The plus sign "+" was supposed to be in the quotes in the second sentence.

  • My bookmarks have disappeared and I can't add new bookmarks.

    All my bookmarks have disappeared, including the defaults on the toolbar of most visited, etc. I can't add new bookmarks either. I have tried all the Help Topics on lost bookmarks. I tried restoring bookmark backups, but the backup from the date I lost bookmarks says "unable to process backup file." All the later dates will load, but they have no bookmarks saved in them. All of the other Help Topic attempts went fine but did not solve the problem.

    What I would say is that if you have any bookmarks at all at present that you make a manual backup of them, and then continue to make manual backups as any recovery efforts proceed.
    * see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    There is a possibility that you had corrupt files, and may then have inadvertently overwritten any files that may have contained bookmarks. It is a good idea to make manual backups, for cases where the auto backups do not. work as expected.
    If you have already followed the instructions carefully about [[lost bookmarks]] and without resolving the situation, there may not be much you can do about your personal bookmarks. If they are important and you are willing to try there may be a possibility using file recovery software, &/or sqlite editors that something could be salvaged, but not something I can advise on, I am not currently a Mac user.
    The default bookmarks should be fairly easy to restore. You can probably also start the bookmarks working again. Trying the simplest options first:
    # work from [safe mode]
    #* at this stage when you see the first dialogue window with options do not make changes, press the continue button
    # use the customise / customize option from the toolbars and '''reset defaults'''
    #* Mac may differ from my Windows XP, I can right click bookmarks, or use the tools menu see [[How do I customize the toolbars?]]
    # if that has failed to resolve the problem go back to safe mode as in step 1 but this time use reset toolbars and controls.
    By now you should have the default bookmarks back and maybe the bookmarks work and will save new bookmarks, try it whilst still in safe mode, before going back to try in ordinary mode. If it works in safe mode but not in ordinary mode you probably have some add-on managing to cause problems
    If you still have problems and bookmarks will not save see [[bookmarks not saved]] that probably indicates corrupt places.sqlite &/or localstore.rdf the linked article explains how to find and delete them.

    Hey Vicky,
    Using Adobe Reader on your iPAD, you cannot add new bookmarks.

  • I did an upgrade and now i can't get the bookmarks back in Safari like they used to be

    I did an upgrade and now i can't get the bookmarks back in Safari like they used to be. How can I get contacts back in the bookmarks. Also, why does Apple always change everything? Very frustrating.

    Unforunately, not that I know of.

  • "Bookmark this page" option in Bookmark drop downs is replaced by "edit this bookmark" option - so can't add a bookmark.

    As in question i.e:
    "Bookmark this page" option in Bookmark drop downs is replaced by "edit this bookmark" option - so can't add a bookmark now. Recent problem - no problems last week. A recent Firefox update perhaps?

    You can also open the bookmarks sidebar via the "View Bookmarks Sidebar" button in the "Show your bookmarks" button next to the star and drag the tab or "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) to a bookmarks folder in the sidebar.
    *You can toggle the Bookmarks sidebar off/on via "View > Sidebar > Bookmarks" or "Ctrl+B" (Command+B on Mac)

  • How can I alphabetize the bookmarks in my Safari bookmarks toolbar?

    How can I alphabetize the bookmarks in my Safari bookmarks toolbar?

    Did you try creating a folder of your bookmarks then drag the folder to your Desktop.
    The Finder will automatically alphabetize the folder content.
    Drag back to Safari.

  • How can I add a bookmark?, How can I add a bookmark?

    I can't add a bookmark. How do I do that

    Good solutions by all. Another quick method, without having to click anything, is to drag the website logo (the little icon to the left of the html address) over to your bookmark icon. This will add the website to your bookmarks, providing an easy solution for the trackpad users as well. Cheers!

  • Can't edit bookmarks bar in Safari 5.1.10

    I have tried to edit the names of bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, and add and delete bookmarks.  The changes take place and Safari will close normally. However, upon re-opening Safari, none of the changes are present, and the bookmarks bar has reverted to the previous pre-edited version.  Restarting does not help. Anyone know how this can be fixed?

    Try emptying the cache and resetting Safari.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Try a new window.
    If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset. Try again.
    If that didn't help, go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari / Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    Try again.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

  • How can I make my Bookmarks bar show up like in Safari?

    I want to have a bookmarks bar immediately underneath the URL bar, extending the length of the window, so I can have my bookmark folders in view at all times.
    Also I don't understand the "Automatically add" button on this screen. It looked like something you were recommending, but then it said "Author not verified." If the author is not verified, why would you recommend it?
    I tried the manual method described below, but when I clicked Edit in the menubar, there is no small box that opens. However, here is the information I was told to paste in the other box on this screen:

  • Can't add new bookmarks

    Just recently I am unable to add new bookmarks. All my old ones are there, I just can't add new ones. Usually when I click "bookmark this page" a small black window pops up and allows me to determine which folder i'm going to save the page in, but the widow now doesn't even show up. The only page I CAN bookmark and this window shows up is on yahoo's homepage which made me notice something. There is a star in the address bar that gets filled in blue only when i'm on yahoo. Every other page, it becomes colorless. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this or not though

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

  • I can not add a bookmark or a new folder

    I cannot add a bookmark or a new folder on my ipad? 

    In Safari. Pull up your saved bookmarks (not create a new one). When up, click edit. New Folder button will be in bottom right after that. In Edit mode of saved bookmarks you can create new folders and reassign saved bookmarks to the new folders you make (and move up and down).

  • How can I add a color bar scale to a CW3DGraph

    I am using the CW3Dgraph control (parametric surface plot) in a LabVIEW program I have written to graph the the strength of an electromagnetic field over a sphere.  The plot color map style is set to use the "color spectrum".  I would like to add a color bar scale to the graph so the user can determine the approximate field strength by the color of the plot.  Is there an example that could help me with this, does anyone know how to add a color bar scale, or is there some other way to indicate to the user the color's level?

    I think if you search this forum you will find more than one approach to this quest.In this thread you will find an earlier discusion of the same nature that has a couple of methods you can try out.
