Delete of 'Bookmarks Bar' folder in Safari

Can anyone help to show me how to delete the 'Bookmarks Bar' folder in safari? I can't delete even with 'edit'. It seems to appear after I sunc my iphone with my computer. Thanks.

It's a default 'folder' in the Safari browser (on the computer) - if you sync bookmarks, it will always be on the phone.

Bookmarks bar in iPad Safari

In iMac Safari, I have a nice thin grey line of defaulted Apple, etd. links. Kinda nice, but I would prefer to use the precious real estate for other things.
In iPad, the support links suggest turning it on in Settings, Safari, General, and 'Always show Bookmarks Bar'.. Well it is on. Still no bookmarks bar.
I was able to bang around and get a folder added to Bookmarks. I have only a couple Apple site links in there, but don't yet see a way to add links. I will.
The folder is now displayed up there now taking up more precious real estate on this miniature screen. Tapping on it gives me the 2 Apple sites,
I would rather just have a single line of 8 or so really favorite sites lined up there like shown in the posts provided by others here.
Please, Can anyone tell me how to just have the line there without folders?
Thanx,,, Bill

If you turned on the Always Show Bookmarks Bar - you have to add the bookmarks to that particular folder in the Safari Bookmarks as well.
In Safari - go to the web site that you want to add to the Bookmarks Bar. Tap the Arrow icon next to the url field. Select - Add Bookmark. Then select Bookmarks Bar from the next window.
If you dont see the Bookmarks Bar folder as a selection - tap the bottom folder that shows in that window - and then all of the other bookmarks folder should appear. Select bookmarks bar from there - then tap save.

How do I remove "Bookmark Bar" folders in Safari Bookmarks?

My Bookmarks sync fine between my iPhone and iPad, except that iCloud keeps creating "Bookmark Bar" folders. They are driving me crazy because I cannot delete OR move them out of the way.
There are now SIX unused (empty) "Bookmark Bar" folders making it rediculously cumbersome when I try to scroll down to my actual Bookmarks.
PLEASE, oh PLEASE HELP! How can I remove all those "Bookmark Bar" folders?
I am on iPad2 and iPhone4 with the latest iOS. I tried turning iCloud "Sync Bookmarks" off, rebooting both devices, and turning Sync back on. That seems to be when iCloud wants to add even more empty "Bookmark Bar" folders.

Ok, so...ARGH!!! The solution was SO SIMPLE that I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out.
Long story short: I was able to delete the "Bookmarks Bar" folders (15 in all!) from my PC (Win7). AND, the process did NOT delete all my existing iDevice Bookmarks (YAY!).
So, in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread with the same issue:
Open iCloud on your PC
Turn on option to sync bookmarks with IE
('yes' to merge bookmarks- This step does not delete your existing bookmarks on your iDevices)
Make sure your iDevices are set to sync bookmarks in iCloud.
Next, open your "Favorites" in IE on your PC and right-click/delete all "Bookmarks Bar" folders.
Voila! Done! No more Bookmarks BarS...although there will be ONE that will not go away. One is better than 15:)

I have a pc, and i accidentally deleted the address bar in my safari browser and no longer have any view options to get it back

I have a pc, and i accidentally deleted the address bar in my safari browser and no longer have any view options to get it back. I uninstalled and reinstalled safari twice, but the address bar still isn't there and neither are the view options. If there anyway to get it back?

I'd try the following user tip with that:

Problems opening a New Tab in Safari from Bookmark Bar Folder

When I am in Safari and attempt to Open a link to a new tab from the Bookmark Bar that is part of a Folder on the Bookmark bar it does nothing.
I can change the preferences to auto-click for the Bookmark Folders, but then every link loads when I try to access the folder from the Bookmark Bar. Very cool to see lots of pages loading at once, but not what I'm after. Doesn't seem to be a way to just load 1 link from the folder
If its a single link on the Bookmark Bar that has not been organized into a Folder it does work.

You know what? - my Safari works just the same way.... but I'd never noticed before.
I've used apple-click to open single bookmarks from the bar, many times. But have always ( for no particular reason) opened a new tab first ( apple-T ) if I've been looking for bookmarks within a folder.

Under Bookmarks, suddenly 30 listings for identical Bookmarks Bar folder and 30 for identical Favorites Bar folder. I still can't delete them.

My desktop and laptop are synched. Both have Bookmarks Bar 30x, and Favorites Bar 30x, and can't delete. There was no file like the one suggested earlier, as a fix. Please advise as to my options, I have to scroll for miles before I can get to my Bookmark listings.

You need to disconnect the computer from the Sync server before trying to repair the bookmarks.
You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Bookmarks bar - folder question

I seem to have accidently deleted a folder from my bookmarks bar. Is there any way to find it??
Also, is there any way to 'lock' the book marks bar so that I can accidently click and delete a folder again?
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
When you delete a folder from the bookmarks.plist file, regardless of the collections group (in this case your Bookmarks Bar), it's unfortunately gone. Also, these folders cannot be "locked".
Also, there is no easy way to "search" for the bookmarks in Safari Panther. That feature came along in Safari Tiger via the Spotlight panel. If you open the Bookmarks.plist file in BBEdit (ought to occur by default), you can open a find panel (command key + F), then type the name of a bookmark or folder in the panel. If it's still in the file, it will show up in the search.
With that said, do you have on any form of external media a copy of the Bookmarks.plist file found in the Safari folder? Or any Bookmark file for another browser, which might have the same folder? If you do, then you can import the file back into Safari. If you have a copy, let me know if you need help with the import.
While I have backup on an external drive (back up every few days or so), I acquired the habit of going to my Safari folder in the Library at the beginning of the day and making a copy of my Safari bookmarks file (Apple Key + D), removing the previous day's copy. A while back I lost a bunch of bookmarks, which served as an incentive for this habit. Access to the folder is easy as I have the folder on my Finder's sidebar.

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.

SAFARI - Bookmarks Bar & Bookmarks Menu

I don't rember if both of these folders existed on my virgin phone or if they came down with the sync but how do yuo delete a Bookmark bar which doesn't exist on iphone safari?
Also how do you create folders on the iPhone?

Just been pondering this myself. I've decided not to sync my bookmarks (having checked the box to allow Safari Bookmark syncing when I first bought the iPhone). I'm creating a new folder structure for bookmarks on my iPhone. However, I'd really love to get rid of the Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu folders. Clicking on Edit brings up the round delete icon next to all the other folders apart from these two and the History folder! Actually I wouldn't mind deleting the History folder as well, as I never use it. I thought perhaps I'd be allowed to delete these folders once I unchecked the Safari Bookmarks syncing in iTunes, but I still can't get the option to delete them. Anyone know if it's possible? Or is it a feature?

Safari bookmarks bar order

I cannot keep the bookmarks I save in the bookmarks bar in the order I put them.
Safari keeps reordering them as he wants, over and over...
any help will be appreciated,
thanks
carlo
Using:
Safari 6.0.2 and OSX 10.7.5

This issue is caused by Safari synchronization in iCloud. You can either disable it in the iCloud preference pane, or use a rather complex workaround found by some ASC users (which perhaps could be improved):
Back up all data. Disable Safari synchronization on all your devices.
Rearrange the bookmarks in the Bookmarks window. From the Safari menu bar, select
File ▹ Export Bookmarks…
and export your bookmarks. Then delete all bookmarks.
Re-enable Safari synchronization and let it sync the empty bookmark set to all devices.
Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks…
to restore the bookmark set you just deleted. It will sync.

Safari 5.1.4 renaming "Bookmarks Bar" to "BookmarksBar", causing the bookmarks bar to disappear

After I upgraded to Safari.5.1.4, I noticed that my bookmarks bar was completely gone. I went into Show All Bookmarks, and I noticed under the BOOKMARKS heading on the left, there was a folder called "BookmarksBar" (without the space between Bookmarks and Bar). Thinking I did something wrong, I used drag and drop to move all the folders from "BookmarksBar" to "Bookmarks Bar". Once I did this, the bookmarks bar appeared correctly.
However, after shutting down Safari and restarting, the bookmarks bar was gone again! I did a Show All Bookmarks, and the "Bookmarks Bar" folder was again renamed "BookmarksBar". It seems now that I can't maintain my bookmarks bar between Safari sessions.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hi...
You mentioned both bookmarks and extensions in your orginal post on this thread > https://discussions.apple.com/message/17872836#17872836
The problem is when you start multiple threads for the same issues, we have to go back and check each thread to see what troubleshooting that's been tried that hasn't worked for you. That is time consuming not just for us but for you as well.
In case you aren't aware, we are volunteerrs. This is a user to user forum. You are not addressing Apple employees here.

Bookmarks bar not displaying

Since migrating from Mobile Me to iCloud I have lost the bookmarks bar in mobile Safari on my iPad. In the list of bookmarks I have two bookmarks bar folders, one is empty, the other contains the correct bookmarks bar links. The bookmarks bars on my two Macs are correctly populated. I suspect Mobile Safari is using the empty folder. I have tried to delete this folder but cannot. Any help would be welcome.

Did you go to Settings>Safari>Always Show Bookmarks Bar>On?
Have you tried quitting Safari and restaring the iPad?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button.Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and holddown on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in theupper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Bookmarks Bar problem...

Just started happening yesterday: when I bookmark anything, it it saves the bookmark in the Bookmarks Bar folder under "Bookmarks" (when you view the "show all bookmarks" section), but not the actual Bookmarks Bar under "Collections" or the actual usable Bookmarks Bar at the top of the Safari window.
So, it's making a bookmark, just not anywhere it's usable.
I've tried deleting and restoring the bookmarks plist, but it didn't help.
Thanks,
Rob

Just tried your suggestion and I can make bookmarks to the proper Bookmarks Bar itself, but none of the organizational subfolders themselves. So, it'll show up on the bar, but if I bookmark it to a folder that shows on the Bar, it doesn't show up there. But the new bookmark does show correctly in the Bookmarks Bar folder in the Bookmarks section, if that makes sense. so it's still not right.
Also, I erased the whole Safari preference file and started from scratch and have the same issue, as well as restoring from Time Machine to before this was happening, and still the same problem.

Bookmarks in ie8 and safari do not sync to iphone and ipad

IE version 8
iphone 4, ios 4.3.3
ipad 2, ios 4.3.3
itunes 10.3
Windows XP SP3
Hello everyone, hope someone could help me..
I really want to sync my bookmarks from my PC to my iphone and ipad but it doesn't seem to work. I already tried the following but they all failed:
1. Clear Sync history
2. Clear cache, cookies and history from iphone/ipad
3. uncheck sync bookmarks in itunes, then sync. then re-check then sync again.
4. I tried deleting all bookmarks in IE8 and then re-creating them, then sync afterwards
All these methods failed. Everytime I try and sync itunes with my iphone/ipad, the sync is successful but bookmarks is left out. No syncing happens for bookmarks. Apps, music and contacts sync work fine though..
Hope you could help thanks!!

No bookmarks bar folder is created
For perspective, my IE8 has bookmarks both in Favorites bar and in Favorites (apparently they are different). I did this to ensure that it's not just a matter of wrong bookmark location in IE. am i doing something wrong?
Also, when I sync there is this one bookmark (google reader) that keeps on popping up even though I manually delete it in my iphone. It suddenly shows up after every sync.
