Copying Safari Bookmarks from iMac to MPB

I'd like to know the easiest way to copy my Bookmarks from my iMac to my new MPB.
I have a wireless network, and I do have a Time Capsule (used for back-up only, not as a router).

I'd like to know the easiest way to copy my Bookmarks from my iMac to my new MPB.
Copy the file ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist from the iMac to the corresponding location on the MacBook Pro, where ~ is the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon. Depending on your configuration, use a file sharing connection or an external drive to move it.

    How to sync Safari bookmarks from iMac to iPhone?
    About my Safari bookmarks that are currently residing only on my iMac, I would like to see the same Safari bookmarks on my iPhone as well. Can I sync them from the iMac to the iPhone? Thanks.

    Yes, but you will need to use iCloud ...

    Can anyone tell me if there's a way to place my safari bookmarks from my iMac to my iPhone and iPad?

    Activate iCloud on all the devices and select Safari in the settings. Your bookmarks will stored on Apple servers, so you should only do this if you don't mind sharing that information with Apple employees.

  • How do I copy my bookmarks from Safari on my iMac to my new iPhone 6?

    How do I copy my bookmarks from Safari on my iMac to my new iPhone 6?

    Hello!
    Here is the manual. iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer - Apple Support
    - Note that the manual presupposes you have Mountain Lion installed on your Mac, which is what it says in your message, so I'm assuming you have.
    Also, I suppose you're not using iCloud. If you ARE using iCloud on your Mac and iPhone, I recommend using that for your bookmarks over USB-syncing. Here's the manual for that: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List - Apple Support
    The relevant excerpt:
    Turn iCloud Bookmarks off and back on:
    Quit Safari.
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud.
    If you are using OS X Mavericks or Mountain Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Safari. If you are using OS X Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Bookmarks.
    Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
    Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
    Select the checkbox next to Safari (or Bookmarks). Click Merge.
    Close System Preferences.
    Open Safari and test to see if the issue is resolved.

  • 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

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

  • Restoring safari bookmarks from time machine

    Somehow bookmarks in one of my Safari bookmark folders got deleted in the course of attempting to move the folder. When I go into time machine to restore an earlier version of my book marks time machine does not display the contents of the caches folder where I understand the Safari bookmarks are kept, i.e. ~/library/caches/metadata/safari/bookmarks..
    Is there a way to get time machine to display contents of the caches and metadata folders? If not, is there another way to restore an earlier version of my Safari bookmarks? I have separate backups on external drives in addition to the time machine backup.
    Thanks,

  • How copy safari bookmarks to another mac

    I would like to transfer Safari bookmarks from one Mac to another Safari operating on a different Mac

    Hi refalci,
    The easiest way to copy your Safari bookmarks to a different Mac is to export them from Mac #1, and import the resulting .html file into Safari on Mac #2.
    You can copy the .html file to a thumb drive or email it to yourself and open it on the second Mac.
    You indicated that you are using Mavericks OS X on your computer, so here are the instructions for Safari 6 or 7.  
    Safari 6/7 (Mavericks): Import and export bookmarks
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17154
    Open the Safari application, then:
    Export bookmarks:
    Choose File > Export Bookmarks. The exported file is called “Safari Bookmarks.html.”
    On the second computer, open Safari and import the file that you emailed or saved to a thumb drive:
    Import bookmarks:
    Choose File > Import Bookmarks. Most bookmark files have an extension of .html or .plist.After you import bookmarks, they appear at the bottom of the sidebar in a new folder whose name begins with “Imported” and ends with the date.
    Hope that helps ...

  • How do I copy Aperture app from iMac to Macbookwith different ID

    how do I copy Aperture app from iMac to Macbookwith different ID ?

    Do you mean
    " Macbook with different Apple ID "   ?
    If you bought Aperture on your iMac from the App Store using a different AppleID, sign into the Apple Store on your MacBook with exactly that Apple ID.  (Use the "Store" menu. First sign out and then sign in with the other ID)
    Then reload the "Purchased" page. You should see now Aperture ready for download.  Install it.
    Then sign out of the store and back in with your regular AppleID on that Mac.  If you are notified of updates, you will have to switch between AppleIDs again to install the update.

  • How to sync Safari  bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air?

    How does one transfer, or sync Safari  bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air without involving iCloud?

    Give Xmarks a try, they have an iOS app as well. It will not sync directly to Safari on the iPad, you open the links through the app.

  • Copy a folder from imac to macbook says: no permissions to do that. But I am locked in as admin

    Just wanna copy newer files from my iMac’s homefolder (Yosemite) to my Macbook’s homefolder (Snow Leo).
    Both homefolders have the same name and the Computers have same admin-password.
    To not do it file by file I deleted the old folder "work" on my notebook and tried to copy it as one piece from my iMac to the notebook.
    The folder was build, but no content would be copied.
    There is a message: Failed due to permissions…
    How can I copy it completely?

    Curiosity:
    Now I am locked in on both machines to the other machine
    and
    with System-Preferences : "Releases" : "set Data free" (don’t know in english…).
    I can copy a folder from iMac to Notebook from within the Notebook,
    but not by draggin it to a Notebook-Window from within the iMac … !
    Don’t know why, but it works this way and my Question is not needed to be answered anymore.

  • 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.

  • Can I copy my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox if they are on the same computer?

    I would like to use Firefox and I want to '''copy''' the bookmarks I have in Safari. I have a Mac with OS10.6 and both Safari and Firefox are on the same computer. I want to know if Firefox is more friendly since I do a lot of writing.

    You should update to Firefox 6.0.1 through Help > About > Check for updates
    before testing rather than be disappointed with a Firefox update after testing.
    All browsers can use the Netscape bookmarks formatted HTML file to copy bookmarks. But according to documentation you can import directly from Safari. Hopefully that applies to your Mac, because it is not shown as an option for me on Windows 7.
    '''Import bookmarks''' - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#From_Safari
    "'''Firefox imports Safari settings automatically'''. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too. "
    If that does not work:
    :'''Exporting Bookmarks from Safari:''' (from Safari Help)
    # Choose File > Export Bookmarks.
    # Specify a location for the exported file. The file's name will be "Safari bookmarks.html." Most browsers are able to import this type of file.
    '''Importing Bookmarks into Firefox:'''
    #"Command+Shift+B" to bring up Bookmarks Library List, can be done from Bookmarks menu > "Show all bookmarks"
    # "Import and Backup" menu > Import HTML > From an HTML file
    #: (unless you see From Safari)
    Firefox uses the same keyboard shortcut to display menus as used on Safari (on a PC it is the "Alt" key).
    Firefox is highly customizable, so you can change the appearance, and a lot of what would be done in other browsers must be done using extensions in Firefox, but the extensions for the "same" feature probably give you a lot more functionality and control. In the following making Firefox look more like 3.6 would be of interest if you are used to other older browsers -- Safari grew up independently so other browsers are more alike.
    You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
    There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional. (later on)
    '''Keyboard Shortcuts:'''

  • Lost Safari Bookmarks on iMac

    I have lost all my Bookmarks for Safari on my iMac (as well as on my iPhone).
    I was turning my iPad in to Gazelle.com for cash and was taking apps off of it. I wiped out something on it that affected my Safari Bookmarks, but I'm not sure what. I assume a setting on iCloud or something. Can't be sure.
    Anyway, how can I restore my Bookmarks in Safari? Any help is appreciated!

  • Recover safari bookmarks from backup of different Mac

    My iMac running Snow Leopard died. Electricuted in one of those Florida lightening storms. I will miss you.
    My back up machine is a fine old MBA also running Snow Leopard.
    I want to replace the Safari 5.1.7 bookmarks from the iMac onto my MBA.
    I had several backups of the iMac just prior to the rath of Zeus including TM, CCC and Mozy. So I have the file(s) that have the iMac Safari bookmarks. But where are they and what do I need to copy over to the MBA. I suspect the CCC disk is the easiest place to look. Not sure what will happen if I connect this MBA to Mozy or TM. I am looking on the used market for a replacement 27 iMac that is running Snow. 
    iMac was nearly full 500GB hard drive
    MBA is very nearly full 80GB hard drive.

    Boot from the CCC backup then open Safari and go to the file menu and export the Bookmarks to the desktop. then copy the Safari Bookmarks.html file to a thumb drive followed by transfer to the desktop of the MBA. Use the Import Bookmarks choice when booted in the MBA.
