Can't delete Safari Bookmarks

At one point I was able to go to Show All Bookmarks and have list like view of my bookmarks at the bottom of the page where I could select and delete 'em, now I can't seem to do so anymore. Any suggestions?

Could be the preferences are corrupted ..
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
Also, could be a third party Safari addon...Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

How can I delete a bookmark address in I cloud without deleting the whole account

How can I delete a bookmark address in I cloud without deleting the complete account. Is it possible?

Your question does not make much sense. iCloud syncs Safari's bookmarks between devices. If you delete a web site's bookmark from one device it will be removed from all other devices setup to sync to your iCloud account. If this is a bookmark to other websites you have an account with such as Amazon or other sites you are only removing the bookmark to that site, you would have to log into that website to remove thae account related to that site.

IPhone 4: Unable to delete Safari Bookmarks from main screen

My iPhone4 (iOS 4.3.5) won't delete Safari Bookmarks from the main screen. When the bookmark is held down (it starts wriggling, and is able to be moved around), there is no "x" option. I am still able to delete apps. I'm not able to delete the bookmark off my iphone through iTunes either. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
Unsure as to what causes the problem but this will definitely resolve it. No personal data will be lost it just resets settings as the name suggests. Of course you can just update/restore but this is an unneseccary step.

I can't delete Safari lion book marks . does the cloud play a part?

How do i delete a safari bookmark I have 10 mountian lion mimi mac new
I tryed many times Apple support -open book menue select bookmark hit keyboard delete
nothing happens

Triple-click the text on the line below to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the folder open.
Relaunch Safari. It will open with the default set of bookmarks. Delete them all. Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks
from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Arrange the bookmark folders as you wish.
Re-enable synchronization if you disabled it. If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post again.

Deleted Safari Bookmarks and have no backup

I got a new phone and have been cleaning up my old phone and I deleted my bookmarks in safari. However I did not shut off the wifi capabilities on my phone first. The following day I open up my mac and go into safari to look at a few book marked items. Much to my surprise my safari bookmarks on my Mac are now all gone. All the questions and articles talk about Time Machine but unfortunately I do not have it set up. Is there anything I can do to get those bookmarks back?

Deleting safari bookmarks

Hello,
I recently accidentally checked the box in iTunes that would sync my Mac safari bookmarks with the safari bookmarks on the iPhone. I have since unchecked the box, but I can not get rid of the Mac safari bookmarks that are now in the iPhone. I manually deleted all that I could (by choosing edit and then delete), but there are some that will not delete, such as the "Bookmark Bar" and "Bookmark Menu" that are part of Mac Safari. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,
That's easy:
1. Quit Safari
2. Drag Bookmarks.plist (user/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist) to your Desktop.
3. Launch iTunes and enable buttons sync Safari bookmarks and overwrite on iPhone
4. Sync your iPhone - this will delete ALL bookmarks and ALL Folders (Your might backup the important ones to your Home Screen)
5. In iTunes disable the button sync for Safari bookmarks
6. Put back the Bookmarks.plist from your Desktop to the original place.
Your done!

TS4001 How can I share Safari bookmarks between two iCloud accounts using IOS 7 and Mavericks?

Before iOS 7 and Mavericks, we were able to share Safari bookmarks between all of our devices. My wife had the primary iCloud account which was setup to share bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders. A secondary iCloud account was setup on my phone for only my email. Each phone had our private email accounts segregated and we shared all the bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders. When I saved a bookmark on my phone, I could see it later on our iMac or iPad. Now only my wife can sync bookmarks between her phone and the iMac or iPad. This *****!! This worked beautifully before we upgraded to the latest versions of OS & iOS. Is there a work around or a new way to set things up? I don't want to be stuck reading Safari on my phone when I have a 24" iMac sitting in the living room. I don't want to see all of my wife's email on my phone either. Do we need three iCloud accounts now? One main for sharing and two separate accounts for only email? Need help! Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

David,
Thanks for the reply. That's how I set it up originally. Although the new iOS 7 update lost some functionality. I found the following on the TUAW website. The Safari Bookmarks and Find My Phone options have been removed from the secondary iCloud accounts options. This is the problem. Everything worked great before we updated. I guess "new way" consolidates the iCloud accounts better with Maverick? Now I will have extra documents on my phone that I don't need. We will both have to share the same iCloud storage and backup space too. Have to try it out and see how it works. Thanks.

How can I import safari bookmarks from my iPad or iPhone?

I recently opened a MobileMe account and set my account to sync with my Safari on my iMac. While I was in Safari, MobileMe synced, I mistakenly allowed it to sync from MobileMe to Safari, not the other way around. So I have lost all my bookmarks. They still exist in my iPhone and iPad, but I want them to go back into my computer. I have tried syncing the devices to my iMac, but to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? Have I missed something?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Open System Preferences/MobileMe: Select the Sync tab. Then click the Advanced tab. Select your Mac and click: *Reset Sync Data*
If that doesn't sync your Safari bookmarks back to your iPhone or iPad, try MobileMe: Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch sync issues first.
You can also post in the iPhone Forum to get help there.
Do you by chance use Firefox? You could export your Bookmarks there to Safari and it would be a much simpler process ??

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.

How do I delete safari bookmarks bar?

In Safari on my ipod touch, when I go to bookmarks I have Bookmarks Bar at the top, and then other folders and bookmarks. When I hit edit to delete bookmarks, it won't let me delete bookmarks bar. How do I get rid of it? I think I chose sync bookmarks with safari at one time but now I'd rather not and I have it unchecked but it still won't go away.

You've tried:
Edit a bookmark or bookmark folder: Tap , choose the folder that has the
bookmark or folder you want to edit, then tap Edit. Then do one of the following:
To make a new folder, tap New Folder.
To delete a bookmark or folder, tap the red minus sign icon, then tap Delete.
To reposition a bookmark or folder, drag the 3 horizontal lines icon.
To edit the name or address, or to put it in a different folder, tap the bookmark or folder.
When you’re finished, tap Done.
or
Sync bookmarks with your computer:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the sidebar.
3 Click the Info tab, select “Sync … bookmarks” under Web Browser, then click Apply.
... and then deselect “Sync … bookmarks” under Web Browser, and then click Apply.

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?

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

Can we delete all bookmarks ? and other syncing problems

Can we delete all iphone bookmarks in 1 go ?
i want to erase all iphone bookmarks because when i sync my iphone to my pc using itunes it causes a huge waste of time for me as i also use xmarks the firefox and internet explorer browser addon, basically the thousands of bookmarks i have get in a right mess ( yes i know i have loads of bookmarks its because i blog about websites so ive now made maybe 100 plus folders in my bookmarks to put sites into categories now) but these folders get dulicated but most with nothing in them, also many new sites ive bookmarked on my iphone then get put alphabetically on my pc browsers so i spend hours dragging them into the correct folders....please help can we erase all iphone bookmarks in 1 go? if so how? if i can do this id then sort all my firefox bookmarks and use xmarks to sync them to ie8 (internet explorer8) browser then id like to plug my bookmarkless iphone into the pc so when it syncs with ie8 it should get all the newly sorted out nicely categorised bookmark folders ive spent days sorting out ! please help thanks. also is there a way to bookmark a site on the iphone and select which folder to save it in just like if i did it using firefox ?

I should think that if you remove the checkmark for syncing bookmarks to the phone and then do a sync, they would be removed from the iPhone. Can't guarantee that, as I'm not in a position to try it.
As far as adding a bookmark on the iPhone: when you are at the site, touch the "+" sign at the bottom of the page. Select Add Bookmark. When the Add Bookmark screen comes up, just above the keyboard, there is a selection that should start out as bookmarks, and there is an arrowhead beside it. Touch that and it will bring up all of your bookmarks and folders. Select the folder and save it.
