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!

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.

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.

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?

Can't delete Safari Bookmarks

At one point I was able to go to Show All Bookmarks and have list like view of my bookmarks at the bottom of the page where I could select and delete 'em, now I can't seem to do so anymore. Any suggestions?

Could be the preferences are corrupted ..
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
Also, could be a third party Safari addon...Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

How do I delete ALL Safari bookmarks?

I am currently using a MacBook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.2 and Safari 5.1.2 and would like to know how to delete ALL Safari Bookmarks.
I have selected the various titles under Collections and selected all the bookmarks on the right and deleted these. However, not that there is a Bookmarks section on the left just as there is a Collections section. The bookmarks under this Bookmarks section are the one's I can't seem to delete all of without selecting each individually. I believe these bookmarks might have been what was imported from my PC bookmarks when I converted. However, I would like to be rid of them and there are a lot to remove. It would be very nice if there were a less time consuming way to accomplish this task. I've gone to find this plist file that I've seen mentioned in the support archives and I don't know if I don't understand the structure of Macs well enough but I can not find the plist to remove.
Please help! I don't understand many acronyms and such that responses typically include so if you have a solution for me, please be very specific.
Thanx

don't know if I don't understand the structure of Macs well enough but I can not find the plist to remove.
Quit Safari.
Click a clear space on your Desktop. You'll see Finder top left corner of the screen.
From that menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this in exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Safari
That will open a Finder window for you.
Move the Bookmarks.plist file to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari.
That should remove all the Bookmarks from Safari.
If you want to re import those Bookmarks at some point, with Safari open, from the menu bar click File > Import Bookmarks.
BTW... when you are searching the Finder there are two libraries. One is root the other is user.
The    ~ (Tilde) character represents user:   ~/Library
No tilde: /Library     is root

How to delete a Safari bookmark in the Dock?

Hi all,
Sometime over the course of the past day or so, either I or a family member visited a website that apparently put a Safari bookmark in my dock. At least that's what it looks like. I actually haven't clicked on it, since I didn't put it there.
The problem is, I can't figure out how to remove it. When I option-click on it, there's no option for removing it from the dock, like there is whenever I option-click one of the other icons.
Here's a screenshot of the icon. It's the little Safari icon next to the trash can.
And here's another that shows it's label:
Not sure how it got there. All I know is that when I opened up Safari this evening, a little movement -- like something moved to the download folder in the dock -- caught my eye, and when I looked down to the bottom right of the screen, I saw this icon in the dock. I didn't dare click on it, since I don't know if it's actually an app or something that shouldn't be on the computer. It doesn't appear that anything got downloaded. At least nothing new is in the download folder.
How do I get rid of this bookmark? As the graphic above shows, there's no option for "delete," and dragging it away from the dock doesn't work.

Try holding down the command key while clicking and hold it. Pull it away from the Dock until you see a puff of smoke.

How to delete a bookmark on safari page?

Want to know how to delete a bookmark on the new Safari page?

I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.

I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.
Then I tried to download Safari from Firefox but after finish download, what I got was a dmg file, with a pkg icon (an opened box) and it can't be installed. Same with Google Chrome.
My question is: how can I download Safari? And will it retain bookmarks?

Reinstall Safari from the Optional Installs.pkg on your Mac install disc that came with your iMac. Or in your case, you use Pacifist to extract the Safari app from the .dmg file.
To bookmark a webpage:
Go to the webpage you want to bookmark. If you use tabs, you can open multiple webpages in tabs to bookmark them as a collection.
Choose Bookmarks > Add Bookmark, or Bookmarks > “Add Bookmarks for These Tabs.”
Type a name for the bookmark or collection in the dialog that appears.
Specify where you want to keep the bookmark or collection. You can add it to the bookmarks bar, the Bookmarks menu, or to a collection if you have created any.
Click Add.
To add a bookmark quickly, click the Add button in the toolbar, or drag the webpage’s icon from the address field to the bookmarks bar.
To see your bookmarks, choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.
In the future, rather then deleting an app, come here and ask for help first. More times then not, you will save yourself time and trouble.

All of my safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I did not delete or move them

My safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I have not deleted or moved them. Any ideas on how I can recover them?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Safari
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

Deleting a bookmark in Safari

Hello,
This is a safari question, but I am unable to access the safari board, and thought this was a basic enough question that any experienced Apple user could answer it.
I am unable to delete bookmarks. I can add them, of course, but cannot figure out how to delete individual bookmarks I am no longer interested in.
Can anyone help with this question?
Thanks,
Azurefox

Up at the top of Safari, below the URL Toolbar bar, you should have a bookmark bar on which at the left is a small open page icon.
Create a new Tab (Apple = T) then click on that icon to open the bookmark window in a new Tab.
On the left you should see a COLLECTIONS group and a BOOKMARKS group.
The entries in the BOOKMARK group can be removed (right click and then select Delete). They can be moved to reorder them and so on.
