How can I make a back-up of my bookmarks in Safari?

I am using Safari 1.3.1 (v312.3.3) and can't find a way to back-up my bookmarks. Apple's help area say I should be able to back up "favorites" by choosing export from the fle menu. I don't see an export or import at all! Does anyone know how I can make a back up for later import (for when my OS goes down)?

At least in Tiger, there is no "save as" function for saving bookmarks. You can export the file to another location, preferably externally based. I don't believe Safari in Panther has this feature.
For safe copies:
One alternative is to copy ~/Library/Safari (includes Safari's bookmarks and history files) to a CD-R or RW disc or even DVD. You can include other crucial non-Safari files like your keychain, Library Application Support and Contextual Items folders, Internet Plug-ins, and if space permits documents etc.
The far easier route is to invest in an external HD, creating a bootable clone of your entire system with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • I have to reinstall Mail as it's not working well. How can I make a back up of my emails so as not to lose them all?

    I have to reinstall Mail as it's not working well. How can I make a back up of my emails so as not to lose them all?

    Thank you for your time Woody. Recently the Mac seems to freeze a lot, seemingly due to a problem with the airport, especially if the computer is inactive for anything more than a few minutes. Then yesterday I suddenly couldn't send or receive messages so I got in touch with my server and they reconfigured the mail account. I can now receive messages but can't send them, always getting a timed out message when I try to send an email. I phoned the server again and they said it must be a problem with Mail as we tried sending a message online from the server's webpage and it worked fine, so they suggested I reinstall Mail. So hence my original question. Sorry for the rambling! I'm not very computer minded.

  • How can I make a back-up with the MAC OS X disc on external data?

    Hello guys! I have a problem, my MacBook does not turn on, so to save some of the data I have to make a back-up. For this I bought an external drive to put the data on. With the disc MAC OS X I tried recovering the data, but this does not work. When I press the button to make a back-up, it says: In need of users interacion for identitycontrol. How can I fix this? So to be clear, I am using the disc Utility, and using the First Aid pannel. 

    The filckering ? mark means that no bootable system can be found. You need to put the disk in and then restart while holding a key down till it begins loading the needed files. You can hold the c key down to make the Mac start from the installed disk. Another method is to hold the option/alt key down at start till a window showing bootable volunes appears then select the disk. Also try the safe boot which will run basic file structure check.
    Key or key combination
    What it does
    Option
    Display all bootable volumes (Startup Manager)
    Shift
    Perform a Safe Boot (start up in Safe Mode)
    Left Shift
    Prevent automatic login
    C
    Start from bootable media (DVD, CD, USB thumb drive, and so forth)

  • I hit something and the size of the screen shrunk, so everything is too small for the page. How can I make it back to regular size?

    I don't know how, but the size of Facebook is much smaller than it should be. Like around the edges of the page, there is about an inch of just white, and all of the writing is really small. Is there a way to make it back to regular size? I can't really read anything because it is too small.

  • I'm running the same version of Firefox on one computer in Windows 7 and on another computer in Windows XP. How can I make them look the same? Bookmarks is a button on the right in W7 and a tab at the top left in XP.

    I am already running Sync for bookmarks, but I don't understand how to make Firefox have the same format at the top of the screen. I don't want to Sync tabs, so I haven't tried that option.

    There is no bookmarks tab, expect you are referring to the bookmarks menu on the menu bar ("File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help") on your XP system.
    Once your restore your menus on you Window 7 system, you can get rid of the bookmarks button. After going through the 10 steps below your toolbars on your Windows 7 system will be more usable again and like your XP system, none of which has anything to do with Sync.

  • How can I make a button in Muse that bookmarks the page the user is on?

    I want visitors to be able to push a button that bookmarks the specific page in their web browser. Is this possible in Muse? Or do I have to use third-party code?

    Hi
    As pnoypie has suggested , you can use html for this.
    You can directly insert the html which would create a link to bookmark on page or insert the html inside button widget and define states.
    Here is an example :
