DUPLICATE BOOKMARKS IN SAFARI

I am trying to condense my bookmarks and remove the duplicates. I have rearranged and used edit>delete to no avail. One suggestion was to use leftclick >delete but left click is not responding. I am using OSX.7.5. That is as high as my macbook can go.

By chance are you using iCloud to sync your Bookmarks?

How do I remove duplicate bookmarks in Safari

I have literally hundreds of Duplicate bookmaks in Safari. in some cases 5 or 6 for the same site.
How do I remove them.
Thank you.

One way of alphabetize Safari's bookmarks:

Also:
Have a look at Bookdog:

Alternatively try the 'quick n' dirty way':
Drag the folder with the bookmarks to your Desktop and the Finder window will automatically alphabetize the bookmarks. Then drag it back into the Safari window.
For those running Snow Leopard OS or later versions of OS X there is SafariSort:

IPhone has Duplicate bookmarks in Safari after initial sync.

I think that this is a .Mac problem, but I thought that I would ask here as well since it has been 24 hrs since I sent .Mac a query.
After I activated the iPhone, it synced and my Safari bookmarks were synced as well. As it did earlier last week, the sync process put two of every bookmark folder on my iPhone. That is the reason I think it is a .Mac problem, not an iPhone problem.
Has anyone else ran into this or know how to fix it? I have nearly 5000 bookmarks and now show 9800 plus bookmarks.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lewis

I have a workaround to this issue...I created folders for my bookmarks and then saved my key bookmarks in those folders.
No more strange "My Account" bookmark

Finding duplicate bookmarks In Safari 5

After upgrading to Lion and iOS5, I get duplicate, triplicate, and so on numbers of the same bookmarks. Is there an easy way to find dupes in order to delete them. Since there is no way to sort bookmarks, I'm stuck. Help, someone.

I found two ways of sorting bookmarks:
Take one or more bookmark folders and drag them to your desktop. This puts them into Finder and automatically alphabetizes them. From here you can also delete duplicates, rearrange, etc. Since I had thousands of duplicates, this was ok but would take a long time.
2. I eventually found a little program, Bookmacster, for all osx versions and bought it after trying it and being delighted. It cost $22.95 and is worth every penny for someone with my problem. The website is: http://www.sheepsystems.com/products/bkmx/ The developer is helpful, too.
Since I'm no longer so ignorant about how iCloud works, the duplicating bookmarks problem shouldn't return. If it does at least I have Bookmacter to help.

TS4001 iCloud created thousands of duplicate bookmarks

My iCloud account created thousands of duplicate bookmarks. I would like to delete them all. Any thoughts on how I could go about this?

Resetting Safari/iCloud bookmarks

Is there a way to get my bookmarks in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home?

i browse around in Safari on my iPhone, and bookmark things.
is there a way to export / sync / transfer these bookmarks i made in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home on my iPhone?
or into Firefox on my Mac (because then it would just sync with my iPhone Firefox Home)?

Hi teethandbones,
There may be a simpler way to do it, but I know you can set your iPhone/iPad to syncronize bookmarks with Safari on your Mac. You could do that first and then import the bookmarks from Safari into Firefox.
Just a thought!

Is there any way to create a bookmark in safari that automatically creates itself for every user/account that logs into the computer?

I am currently trying to add in a bookmark to Safari that will be automatically created on every account on the Mac.
Is that possible? Or is the only way to do such a thing, to have to add it to each and every Safari on each individual account?

No, unfortunately.

Yes.

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

Duplicate bookmarks in PDF created from Framemaker 8

Hello,
I'm working on some legacy content using Framemaker 8 p266. Every time I create a PDF, I get duplicate bookmarks. The first set is wrong, and the second set is formatted correctly and contains the right content.
For example, it basically looks like the PDF is grabbing all of the content from the Table of Contents page, and then listing the correct bookmarks (Section title, heading 1) after that.
I'm creating my PDF using the Save As PDF option. In the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog, I do have the Generate PDF Booksmarks option enabled, "Bookmarks Expanded Through Level" is set to None, and in the Include Paragraphs field I have Appendix Title, Head 1, and Section Title.
I'm using Adobe Distiller XI, maybe that's my problem.
Any ideas? I would appreciate it.
Susan

Are these duplicates side-by-side (e.g. A and then A again) or one after another (A, B, C... and then A, B, C...)?
If they're one set after another, FM picks up the list of paratags to include in the bookmarks list from the first file in the book, so if this doesn' contain everything, it might help to import the additional formats into that one. Then clear/remove the exisiting bookmarks and only add back the Titles and Heading1 bookmarks (check that the TOC ones remain in the Don't include list).

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 ?

I don't have that activated either.. :-s

Do you have a lot of bookmarks in Safari??? Here's how to handle them:

Bookdog...highly recommended!
If you have lots of bookmarks in Safari you should take Bookdog for a spin (recommended for 10.3.9 & above). It is well worth the time and effort and definetly worth the $$ to buy the license. (I'm not associated with the software developer in any way, shape or form....I just like to recommend software that WORKS!!)
I have over 3,000 bookmarks and I just downloaded the most recent version of Bookdog and it was able to go through all of them in a matter of minutes and let me know which were good and which were no longer useable. I then went through the list of questionable sites and was able to either update the URL or delete it completely. What a time saver!

Hi Modiver,
Thanks for letting us know, but I'm sure the most of us knowing about Bookdog already.
I came from Jaguar to Panther an in the past I used the FREE version Safari-Sorter. Bookdog...maybe highly recommended, but why should I buy something that normally is integrated in a browser.
* So I sort them manually ...

How do you move bookmarks in safari on a G4 to an iMac?

I've tried everything that I can think of! Connected my iMac and G4 together and tried to "Import Bookmarks" and have no option to choose safari on my G4. Put my G4 safari on an external drive and hooked it to my iMac. Same results. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm using version 4.1 on my G4 and version 5.0.1 on my iMac.

HI David,
You need to go to File/Export Bookmarks (in Safari) on the G4, save the file to the Desktop.
(Target Disk Mode?) Then on the iMac in Safari, go to File/Import Bookmarks.

Adding a bookmark in Safari ios7?

I cannot add a bookmark in Safari. I updated to iOS 7.0.2 a week ago. When I try to use the bookmark button (box with an upward arrow) Safari freezes and I have to close it. I looked at settings for software and it said I am up to date. All of my existing bookmarks are there, but I cannot add any new ones. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Now close Safari.
To close an app - Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail to close it. Now reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Now see if you can add bookmarks without Safari freezing.
