Can't save Safari Bookmark

When I try to save a bookmark in Safari using the little "plus sign" in the tool bar, I see something go across the screen like when you are doing a download but there is no drop down menu and a new bookmark is not created. If I use the "Bookmarks" button on the top of the screen, everything works normaly. Does anyone know how to correct this?
I have a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.9.2 with Safari 7.0.3
Thanks

The animation you are seeing means the website is being added to Reading List not Bookmarks.
Click the "Share" button,  left of + button , to add the site to Bookmarks.

  • Suddenly, I can't save Safari web pages as PDFs. ???

    I often download website documents to my Mac Pro by choosing the "Save as PDF" option in the Print dialog box. Suddenly, that option is "grayed-out" and unavailable. There's a Save as Postcript option which ultimately fails, and I can print the document on paper, which is not an acceptable alternative.
    This problem appeared after I downloaded the latest System 10.4.9 update, but I can't say whether that's the cause.
    I can still save Safari pages as PDF files on my G4 Power Book, also running 10.4.9, but not on the Mac Pro. Both computers have Adobe CS2's PDF capabilities in addition to Apple's Preview software.
    Any ideas? (Previous posts on similar problems did not have an answer.)

    Hello David:
    Hard to tell what happened.
    I would do a couple of things:
    Clear the Safari cache.
    Trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.
    If that does not help, you could (depending on how important the function is to you) run an archive and install:

  • How can I save my bookmarks, and email them?

    I would like to save my bookmarks, and email them to one of my Gmail accounts. This way I can download them into another computer.
    How do I do this?

    A couple of methods.
    If you want the bookmarks on the other computer to be replaced with the bookmarks on your current computer, follow the procedure in the [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article to backup the bookmarks to a json file which you can email, and then restore those onto the other computer.
    If you want to add the bookmarks to the other computer, but still keep the bookmarks that are already on the other computer, you need to export them to an html file. To do that see [[Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file]]. You can email the html file, and import it to the other computer, for details see [[Importing Bookmarks from an HTML File]].

  • How can I save a bookmark in more than one location?

    In previous versions, I could save a bookmark in one folder, and again in another. This option seems to have disappeared with 29.0. The reference articles don't outline how to do this.
    Does anyone have a trick up their sleeve that will let us do this?
    I know that I should perhaps be using tags, but I have thousands of bookmarks filed and can't start a new procedure now with a major project launch coming up.
    Thanks!
    Allan

    hello allen, in the bookmark library you can copy and paste bookmarks into multiple locations. however as you have said, tags are probably a far more efficient way to organize your bookmarks...

  • 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 to save Safari bookmarks when changing ownership and ID?

    My wife has her own iPad which I tied to my ID and account.  Now I would like to let her have her own account and ID.  I hope to share a few things eventually with home sharing.   I can use her iCloud email address to set up an account for her but am concerned about her Safari bookmarks which are not linked to my account.  How might I set her up and safe her bookmarks?

  • 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 ??

  • How can I save my bookmarks toolbar

    I am reformating my hard drive and want to save my bookmarks toolbar in firefox. How can I do this so I can reload it when I reinstall it?

    You can back up more than just the bookmarks - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+your+information

  • Docs&settings only shows bookmarks from Int Explorer used previously, not Moxilla. How can I save the bookmarks which are shown correctly when using MF?

    I want to save my bookmarks as I have done periodically since 2000 using Xp.
    For copying to F drive or USB, procedure is open C drive, Documents and settings, my name, Favorites
    I have hundreds of sorted bookmarks which I update fairly often.
    Changed to MF about five years ago.
    It looks like nothing has been added to the Favorites within Documents and Settings since then - all have the blue Int. Explorer logo, none in Moxilla colours.
    I was unaware of this as all bookmarks are shown correctly to left of desktop.

    There are three basic options
    #You can backup the bookmarks in a form that Firefox can use. And these include any tags with them.<br />See [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    #Firefox stores History in the same database: '''places.sqlite'' the whole of that or even the whole of the profile may be backed up if necessary. <br /> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    #You may back them up by '''export / import''' as HTML. These are the same sort of files as is used for IE favourites / favorites. (These will append or tack on to existing bookmark collections) <br />See [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    CARE if you restore bookmarks from a backup it overwrites your existing bookmarks so always back them up manually before doing any restore.
    Firefox creates its own library of bookmarks. It is possible to add HTML files from IE to these. You will not be able to make sense of Firefox's .json or .sqlite files other than by allowing them to be used within Firefox. The HTML files may probably be opened directly by Firefox or some other programs such as Word Processors.

  • Firefox Android, how can I save a bookmark to one of my desktop bookmark folders?

    On Firefox in Android I can see all of my desktop bookmark folders.
    I want to be able to bookmark a site and to save that bookmark in one of my desktop bookmark folders rather than the 'Mobile Bookmarks' folder.
    Is this possible?
    If not is it an issue with Firefox that could be addressed with an add-on, or is it an issue with Android?

    It is not possible. It should be possible to find the bookmark by typing a few letters of the name or URL of the bookmark.
    The other option is to use Firefox Sync and organize your mobile bookmarks on desktop Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

  • Can't save Browser bookmarks

    After months of working just fine, today my Playbook browser decided not to save my bookmarks ....... either on the Home screen or in the browser  (and I have saved many bookmarks previously)
    I have seen some posts about doing an OS reload which scares me witless to do that !  Is there an easier way...?
    The problem seemed only to happen after my playbook battery went down to 1% today - but now is fully charged.  But maybe that is just a coincidence.......?
    So any thoughts on this problem would be much appreciated !!!
    Thanks
    Peter

    Try deleting some unwanted bookmarks. You may have reached a limit. 

  • Can I import Safari bookmarks from my iphone5 into a new iMac?

    My hard drive recently crashed and unfortunately, I didn't have a full backup.  Is it possible to import the Safari bookmarks from my iphone5 into my
    "like new" iMac?

    Configure the same iCloud account on each device and enable Safari syncing.  This will sync boomarks, reading list items, and enable iCloud tabs.

  • How can I import Safari bookmarks to my iPhone 6

    I simply want to export Safari bookmarks from my Mac to iPhone 6. I do not want to use cloud. ITunes lets me sync contacts and calendars (along with music, movies and all the other crap I do not want to sync) but does not offer me the option  of syncing safari bookmarks. How the **** do I do it?

    How? You use simply iCloud. That's your only choice.
