Cant add new new bookmark in Safari

Quitting Safari after adding a new bookmark results in losing the bookmark when I reopen Safari. Quitting Safari after deleting a bookmark results in the deleted bookmark reappearing when I reopen Safari. Any suggestions for fixing this problem.  This problem does not occur if I close but do not quit Safari.
OS is 10.7.4
Safari 5.1.7
2.5.3 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacMini
4GB Memory

Quit Safari. Disable bookmark synchronization, if applicable.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar. Copy the following line into the text box that opens, then press return:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the Finder window open. Relaunch Safari. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Test. 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.

    There is no need to install the Torbutton extension in case of problems with lost bookmarks.
    You can skip that step if it doesn't apply (you do not have Torbutton in the first place).
    You can uninstall that extension via Tools > Add-ons > Extensions

  • Pinned tabs no longer there & cant add new ones

    When I open Firefox, the areas where the nine pinned tabs used to be are blanked out.
    I can no longer click a site that was in them and I cant add new ones.
    I have done an uninstall and reinstall of Firefox, this didn't work.

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • 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.

  • Bookmarks have disappeared, and unable to add new bookmarks

    My bookmarks have all disappeared, and Firefox won't allow me to add new bookmarks either. I recently updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.10, but the problem only showed up a day later. If I try to restore, it just says, "Firefox unable to process the backup file."
    I've tried all the suggestions on the help site, and none of those have worked (I don't have the add-on that causes bookmarks to disappear, I haven't updated from Firefox 3.5 or less, and I don't think Firefox has created a new profile).
    Also: when I start up Firefox, it says, underneath the toolbar, "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem." However, I don't have any security software installed. I'm running a Mac.

    Have you tried deleting the places.sqlite file and letting Firefox re-create it? For details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

  • I recently changed from IE to Mozilla. I imported all my bookmarks to Mozilla but can't add new bookmarks to imported bookmarks. Can someone please help me?

    I have used IE browser for many years and have collected hundreds of Bookmarks there. I recently changed over to Mozilla browser and imported all my Bookmarks to Mozilla from IE. The problem is whenever I try to add a new Bookmark to the Bookmarks I imported from IE it won't allow me to add new Bookmarks there. It only allows me to add a new Bookmark to Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar, Unsorted Bookmarks, or create a new folder. It doesn't give me an option of adding new Bookmarks to the Bookmarks I imported from IE. I would like to keep all my Bookmarks in order and not have to switch back and forth from new Mozilla Bookmarks and the Bookmarks I imported from IE. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks.

    <b>NOTE: </b>You are using an outdated version of the Firefox program. For the best browsing experience, update to the most recent version.
    Please, try the following:
    # Press <code>Ctrl</code> + <code>Shift</code> + <code>B</code> when Firefox is open
    # In the Bookmark Library, locate the folder containing your imported ''Internet Explorer'' bookmarks
    # Select all of the imported bookmarks and <i>Cut</i> them
    # Paste them into the <code>Bookmarks Toolbar</code>, <code>Bookmarks Menu</code> or <code>Unsorted Bookmarks</code> folders
    Please report back with the results of the above solution.
    Thank you for using Mozilla Firefox!

  • 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.

  • HT2101 My iPad won't accept new bookmarks in safari.

    My iPad won't accept new bookmarks in safari.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • Add new bookmark not working

    Running Firefox 3.6.13 on a Dell Inspiron laptop. Everything works great, except for one catch: I can't add new bookmarks. Pressing Control+D does nothing, clicking add new bookmark does nothing, dragging the tab into the dropdown bookmark menu does nothing. I've tried the entire tree of options on the Bookmarks not saved Troubleshooing page (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Bookmarks%20not%20saved) which, among other things, involved resetting my localstore file, disabling all my extensions/themes/add-ons. I also disabled my Norton 360 firewall, which apparently can cause issues, but this didn't seem to solve it. And I have of course done the usual, deleted all cookies/browser cache etc and tried rebooting. Any idea what else I should try?
    MAJOR EDIT: Just realized it doesn't work in Safe Mode. What had happened was I tried to bookmark Google (not realizing I already had) and it let me do that, which is the same in normal firefox- pressing Control+D will bring up the expected box, but only on pages I'd previously bookmarked.

    Yes, as I said I tried that. I've disable every single one of my add-ons, themes and extensions but it still won't bookmark. EDIT: Does not work, even in Safe Mode. I agree that's weird behavior but the instructions there don't solve it.
    For troubleshooting reference though, here's all the extensions/themes I have installed-if any of them have known issues even when disabled:
    Adblock Plus
    Adblock Plus Pop-Up Addon
    Download Statusbar
    Flashblock
    Greasemonkey
    Norton IPS (I'm unable to unistall this due to Norton's crappiness but I leave it perpetually disabled, and as I said in the original post I've made the changes FF recommends for Norton's firewall/firefox settings)
    Xmarks
    Lavafox V1-Green
    Strata40
    As far as I know, all add-ons are up to date

  • After upgrade to 3.6.8 will not add new bookmarks.

    I have tried all of the fixes on the site but none worked. Still will not add new bookmarks. Windows XP Pro.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Whenever I add a new bookmark into Safari, it disappear the next time I launch it.

    I am now using Mavericks. However, whenever I save a bookmark in Safari, it does not appear in Safari (the bar above the page). I have reinstalled OS X but it's not helpful. How can I solve this?

    You want to transfer purchases from the iPod to your iTunes account.
    Connect the device to iTunes but do not sync.
    Select File > Transfer Purchases.
    This will copy the content purchased via iTunes on the iPod to your iTunes account.

  • I have Firefox version 34.0.5. All my bookmarks have disappeared and I can't add new bookmarks. The "library" remains empty. Help!!

    Have tried to restore a bookmarks file (I have a dozen or so) but I get the message "unable to process the back up file". Clicking the "star" to add a new bookmark appears to work until I click "show all bookmarks" which reveals a still empty library. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Thank you very much for your help.
    What worked for me was to close down Firefox, delete the "places.sqlite" file and restart Firefox. My bookmarks instantly came back. This file is inside the "application data" folder which is a hidden folder. You must unhide the "application data" folder first in order to delete the "places sqlite" file using windows explorer.
    There may be an easier way but this worked for me.
    Thanks again

  • Cant add new printers

    Hi,
    I've had my macbook for about 3 mnths now. I never got around to setting up my personal printer to this - but I plugged in a brother usb printer a mnth ago and started printing with no problems. Now i'm trying to share with a pc printer, only during all of this i have discovered that i cant add any new printers at all.. Please help!!

    Hi Jami,
    It's not quite clear when you say "share with a pc printer" as to what you mean.
    Is this printer hooked to the PC? If so did you add it on the PC to Printer Sharing?
    If Printer sharing is ON on the Mac you must turn it off & reboot, as it'll only see Printers directly connected to the Mac.
    Or are you trying to share the Mac's Printer with the PC?
    Might see iFelix...
