Clicking on bookmark hangs Safari 5

When I click on bookmark icon, Safari hangs, I get spinning beach ball and have to force quite Safari. This happens anytime I try to do anything with bookmarks.

HI David,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache.
Relaunch Safari and try again. If that doesn't make a difference, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Attempting to open bookmarks, hangs Safari

Strange issue. Safari runs fine until I attempt to open the bookmarks. Safari will sit with spinning ball until I force quit. I can add new bookmarks. When I found the bookmarks folder, I can launch to all of the sites by double clicking the entry.
I have run a check of the disk and the permissions. I found a topic describing similar situation having to do with languages. I turned off all but English, but no help.
Any indeas????
I am wondering if there is a way to delete the bookmarks from safari and rebuild them.

Thanks for the suggestion. I found the file and trashed it (after moving a copy to another drive). Upon restart my bookmarks bar reverted to the default, but when I attempt to open all bookmarks, I get the same result.
I was beginning to think it might be related to the latest security update and thought about restoring using time machine to get back prior to the update. When I tried to open the time machine preferences, I encounter the same problem.
I can enter time machine, just not the preferences. Obviously it is not just a safari issue.

Deleting a Bookmark Hangs Safari

I have OS 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1.3 running on an iMac 27" I7 (mid-2010) with 16gb memory. EVERY TIME I try to delete a bookmark, any bookmark, I get a beach ball and Safari hangs. It goes unresponsive and I have to force quit the thing. Pretty unusable. Anybody run into this one?
Thanks,
Brad

   Select “Library” from the drop down.
   Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
   Right click it and select "Move to Trash". Close Finder window.
   Please don’t empty the Trash.
   Restart. Launch Safari.
Test Safari. Try editting bookmarks
   If this doesn’t help;
   Put back the com.apple.Safari.plist
   Right click the Trash icon in the Dock and select “Open”
   Right click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select “Put Back”.

Trying to import bookmarks from Safari. According to help it says open file and click on import. When I open file there is no import. So how do I import my bookmarks from Safari ?

I'm on a Mac with 10.7.2 I'm trying to import my bookmarks from Safari to FireFox. When I open the "file" to click on import like the instructions say there is no "import" in file. So how do I import my Safari bookmarks to FireFox ?

Safari crash everytime when i click the bookmark icon on iPad2 iOS5.1

Is there anybody can help? Thanks a lot.

I have tried closing safari app and reset the ipad, even more than one time, but these doesn't work..
The problem may be caused by a new bookmark which I added this morning, it's a bookmark with some javascript code which can let you check the source of the webpage. (the content is from: http://www.ravelrumba.com/wp/wp-content/code/view-source.txt) At the very beginning, it works fine and i can use it to check sources of some pages( by click the bookmark icon and click the specified bookmark i created ). but after a while, it cannot work and the bookmark icon became a crash trigger

New iPhone 6. Windows 8 desktop. Running Firefox browser as my default. Would like to sync my Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone 6.

New iPhone 6. This s my first iPhone. Windows 8 laptop. Running Mozilla Firefox browser as my default. Would like to sync my Firefox Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone 6.
It would be nice if Firefox was available on the iPhone, but apparently it is not.
If I could do a direct sync of Bookmarks between Firefox on a W8 machine and the iPhone, that would be nice.
Assuming I can't, I have installed Safari of my W8 laptop,
I exported my Bookmarks from Firefox, and then imported them in Safari.
First question:
Safari shows my Bookmarks in a way that is different from Firefox. It shows all the folders fown the left side of the window. If I want to see a saved bookmark within one of the folders, I have to click on the folder name and then the contents are shown in a separate panel off to the right. Can I get all Bookmark folders to open up vertically, that is, down the left side and under the folder name as they do in Firefox?
Second question:
How do I sync the bookmarks so that all hoes-based bookmarks are downloaded to my iPhone. An articel I read speaks of connecting my iPhone to the laptop. I have no idea of how to do that.
Thank you for any help. Not sure what Community to post this in. Sorry. Newbie new to A

I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
Thank you

Why can't i right click a bookmark inside a folder on my favourites bar?

I can right click a bookmark on my favorites bar to open it in another tab and stuff, but i cant right click the bookmark when it's inside a folder?

Only because Apple didn't make that possible - although you can probably Command click it to open in a new tab.

Deleting Bookmarks in Safari 5

Does someone know how to delete a bookmark that has been added to the Bookmark drop down tab of the Safari Menu? Thank you!!!

Tks for your reply, Ho Lee. I did delete it there, but it still shows on top under Bookmarks. I'm not even sure how I got there to begin with...
This is what I see when I click the Bookmarks tab on the Safari Menu.
Show All Bookmarks
Add Bookmark...
Add Bookmark For These Tabs
Add Bookmark Folder
Bookmarks Bar
Dictionary.com (Unwanted bookmark)
Open in Tabs
Any ideas?

Remove bookmark in safari

I have a bookmarked a reputable company for easy access.
Log-in icon, easy and secure, no problems.
Weeks ago, I entered a wrong password, and a page stating "error" appeared. log-in was successful when reset and again, secure, and safe.
Now this page is still appearing any time I press the log-in button to access the secure logging in page, when I go to bookmark.
OK, I removed the whole bookmark from safari, accessed the general web site of the company, and whenever I try to access the log-in page, (not even bookmarked!) I immediately get the same error page!, again and again, without even entering any data or user name or attempted password.
This "error" page must have been stored somewhere on my MBA.
How can I remove this and start a fresh bookmark?

Might be a cookie or cache causing this..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Problem Syncing Bookmarks from Safari

I am having trouble syncing my bookmarks from safari on my computer to my IPAD, what could I be doing wrong?

You can only do this with MobileMe setup. If you do have MobileMe on your Mac, then you need to go into System Preferences, Click on MobileMe, Click on Sync tab, then make sure that Bookmarks is clicked on.

Updating bookmarks in Safari

I edit my bookmarks in Safari 7.1.2, but once I quit Safari, and restart, the old list returns. I checked Bookmarks.plist and it is a version from 2013. Using iMac and OSX 10.9.5. How do i fix this?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
☞ Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
☞ In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
☞ What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Is organising bookmarks in Safari REALLY this lame?

For such a supposedly excellent browser, this is driving me mad! There seems to be no way for me to organise my bookmark folders in 'Show All Bookmarks' without the folders that I am trying to move being placed into other, existing bookmark folders, thus utterly compromising the entire purpose of a categorised bookmarks system!! In Google Chrome, all I have to do is click on the 'Organise' drop down in 'Bookmark Manager' and hey-presto, I can alphabetise my folders and individual bookmarks by title.
I was hoping to be able to do the same in Safari i.e. organise my folders and individual bookmarks so that they are in alphabetical order. However, when I try to move a newly created folder so that it fits in between existing folders and is thus into the correct alphabetical sequence, the folders either side of the new folder 'open up' and I have no choice but to drop the new folder into an existing yet utterly unrelated folder or leave it at the bottom of the bookmarks folders list where it is NOT alphabetised.
1) For example, say I have the following folders:
→ A
→ B
→ D
→ E
→ F
2) I now wish to create a new folder:
→ A
→ B
→ D
→ E
→ F
→ (New Folder)
3) I wish to rename this New Folder - 'C'
→ A
→ B
→ D
→ E
→ F
→ C
4) As you can see, the New Folder is not alphabetised, so I need to drag and drop it between Folder B and Folder D, however:
→ A
↓ B
→ C
→ D
→ E
→ F
It is not possible for me to drag New Folder C so that it drops in between Folder B and Folder D, but only for me to drop New Folder C INTO Folder B. The contents of folder B and New Folder C are totally unrelated so I have no reason to associate them in such a way, yet have no choice. My only alternative is to leave New Folder C at the bottom of the bookmark folder list (see part 3 above).
Does anyone know how I can re-order my bookmark folders alphabetically? I've tried Safari help > Organise Bookmarks but all that does is suggest the same, ineffective drag and drop method as I have described above.
Many thanks
Jon

I totally agree. Organising bookmarks in Safari is clunky and amateurish. I actually like the Browser but the devil is in the detail and this the one thing is stopping me using it. I constantly go back to it and see if I can get it to work but eveytime it drives me mad.
Firefox is sooo easy and slick. Have a look Apple.
