Deleting Safari Bookmark Favorites with one key stroke

Just got a brand new MacBook Pro 15 in. with retina display...upon connecting to the WIFI that my old Toshiba laptop was connected to, my new Mac imported all this suff and filed it under my Safari Bookmark Favorites....I can delete them one by one, but it's too many to delete singularly. Is there a way to delete all that is in my Safari Favorites with one key stroke?

   Delete Safari .plist file.
   Quit all applications. Click on an empty spot on the desktop to activate Finder.
   Hold the “Option” key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
   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”.

  • Mozilla browser lock with one key stroke

    When I open mozilla and start to open another page by typing in the address line after one key stroke it locks up. If I restart it the same thing happens...
    If I open explorer it does not happen..
    I downloaded mozilla again and installed but the same thing happens..
    Thanks

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • How do I set Firefox 29 to always show the bookmarks sidebar with one click instead of a drop down menu?

    I've decided to just get used to Firefox 29 instead of messing with add-ons and what not to make it look like it used to but one thing that is too ingrained is a favorites/bookmarks sidebar with one click. I just don't like the drop down menu. Is there a way to set the "Bookmarks" button to show the sidebar in one click?

    I want the bookmarks sidebar button. This should be a BASIC feature available, not something I need to install an add-on for to revert to some "classic restore". Why is something so straightforward and easy to use considered "classic", and everything has to be hidden and hard to see in this new version? All the colours in the new tabs BTW are are BLUE, and they blend in with the background at the top, you can't see the tab edges - whose bright idea is this?

  • Master data records with one key

    Hello All,
    I have scenario that I need to load the master data records with one key.
    For ex--
    Cluster            Dcode               version
    5000                 DC1                  2008
    5000                 DC1                  2008
    5001                  DC1                  2009
    Could you please let me know possible ways.
    Thanks

    In your case if Cluster is the key then the underlying attributes data will be overwritten when the same cluster key comes.
    as per you example data finally it loads only two records in to the target, since first two records key is same.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Deleting safari bookmarks

    Hello,
    I recently accidentally checked the box in iTunes that would sync my Mac safari bookmarks with the safari bookmarks on the iPhone. I have since unchecked the box, but I can not get rid of the Mac safari bookmarks that are now in the iPhone. I manually deleted all that I could (by choosing edit and then delete), but there are some that will not delete, such as the "Bookmark Bar" and "Bookmark Menu" that are part of Mac Safari. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello,
    That's easy:
    1. Quit Safari
    2. Drag Bookmarks.plist (user/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist) to your Desktop.
    3. Launch iTunes and enable buttons sync Safari bookmarks and overwrite on iPhone
    4. Sync your iPhone - this will delete ALL bookmarks and ALL Folders (Your might backup the important ones to your Home Screen)
    5. In iTunes disable the button sync for Safari bookmarks
    6. Put back the Bookmarks.plist from your Desktop to the original place.
    Your done!

  • ONEKEY IDEACENTRE PROBLEMS - issues with one key boot

    HI there.
    I've been reading about problems with onekey while having similar "free up buffer errors" and "please create a new base backup." messages coming up all the time. Every 1 to 4 days
    The message started coming up every 4 days and the base backup started taking 1hour then 2 hours,
    then the next time 3 hours.
    But I was not storing anymore data on my hard drive. In fact, I had freed up space by deleting some old files I didn't need.
    Anyway,
    Finally I decided to turn off Lenovo Backup, as many have suggested on this forum.
    My PC restarted no worries then onekey came up with a updating your system? And took 10 minutes to reach one percent! Then another 10 minutes to reach 2 percent.
    At that rate it would take 14 hours plus to update. That's ridiculous.
    Also I had turned onekey OFF.. not clicked on update my base back up so why the updating
    The API call must have failed or somethings buggy with onekey.
    At 6 percent (the one hour mark it was clear something was wrong with the speed of the update.)
    The PC was running fine in all respects other than onekey messages.
     I tried to boot to a recovery CD but no boot device worked before ONE key comes up with it's screen.
    Please could someone offer some suggestions, or PM me a way to bypass the one key at boot so I can do a clean reinstall back to factory settings. I've tried choosing the restore to factory image, from the LVT pre windows menu. But still it begins to update at 10 minutes per percent. A Solution may help others with similar onekey problems too.
    I'm now using my old backup PC.    
    I've seen a lot of PC issues, and this is a software issue, The hardware is fine and my PC is new.
    Something is up with onekey and the way it runs its software previous to windows booting, and the way the one key pre-OS does not allow the PC to boot from the CD DRIVE or USB DRIVE even if those devices are choosen as first boot options.
    Thank you very much,
    Gadget 
    PS. There must be a key combo or method to stop or bypass onekey running at boot rather then onekey bypassing all other normal and reasonable boot options so that I can use the restore CD and go back to the factory setup OS. Thanks again

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Titan,
    Thanks for this. I'll look into it and see what the changelog says about OKRUPDATE_V3.EXE for next time. 
    To cut a long story short, after much discussion about the issue,  A very helpful person from Lenovo Tech support suggested we try system recovery (f2 key pre-windows) back to factory restore again, even though it had not worked the first time.
    Well the second time it worked. So I went back to factory install of image. I'll not use, for now, onekey restore until I know more about this new version of OKRUPDATE. But It's good to know its there and I'll look into OKRUPDATE_V3
    Hats of to the tech support person, and to you folks for your suggestions....
    Thanks....
    Problem solved.
    Gadget,
    PS. after doing the system recovery back to factory restore, the bios boot order now works too.

  • Deleted Safari Bookmarks and have no backup

    I got a new phone and have been cleaning up my old phone and I deleted my bookmarks in safari.  However I did not shut off the wifi capabilities on my phone first.  The following day I open up my mac and go into safari to look at a few book marked items.  Much to my surprise my safari bookmarks on my Mac are now all gone.  All the questions and articles talk about Time Machine but unfortunately I do not have it set up.   Is there anything I can do to get those bookmarks back?

  • Screen flashing with every key stroke.

    I am using Dreamweaver CS5. When I type text the screen flashes at every key stroke. What is this? Can I fix it?

    Best guess is that there is an issue with your video card (most likely needs the driver updated). Go to Preferences > Performance and uncheck the "Use Graphics Processor" option in the lower right under Graphics Processor Settings. Relaunch Photoshop and see if you still run into the same issue.

  • Hash with one key and two values

    Hello,
    In java can i have a hash or similar data type than can have one value and two keys?
    thanks,
    jd

    Eh, I'd avoid arrays, personally.
    The reason why is that in my experience, once you start doing things like this, you end up adding an arbitrary number of additional elements for each key. Fixed-size arrays would be a pain.
    If you don't want/need to create an object that encapsulates the two values, why not just use a java.util.Collection as the value in the hash? The Collection -- say, a LinkedList (you decide) -- would hold the two values you want associated with the key.

  • How do safari bookmarks sync with lion

    My iPhone and MacBookPro Lion sync my Safari bookmarks perfectly.  I just don't know how it does it?  Cannot find anything online that discusses it.  I know iCloud doe smy contacts, calenar, etc but doe snot appear to do Safara bookmarks.

    First question, you would have to re-publish to get the link in a nice "share" button.
    But I think it would be easier to go to your gallery (on the web not iphoto) click on the video/album you want to share and at the top near the center click on "tell a friend"
    I hope this answers the first question.
    Second question: you decide privacy when you publish.
