How copy safari bookmarks to another mac

I would like to transfer Safari bookmarks from one Mac to another Safari operating on a different Mac

Hi refalci,
The easiest way to copy your Safari bookmarks to a different Mac is to export them from Mac #1, and import the resulting .html file into Safari on Mac #2.
You can copy the .html file to a thumb drive or email it to yourself and open it on the second Mac.
You indicated that you are using Mavericks OS X on your computer, so here are the instructions for Safari 6 or 7.  
Safari 6/7 (Mavericks): Import and export bookmarks
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17154
Open the Safari application, then:
Export bookmarks:
Choose File > Export Bookmarks. The exported file is called “Safari Bookmarks.html.”
On the second computer, open Safari and import the file that you emailed or saved to a thumb drive:
Import bookmarks:
Choose File > Import Bookmarks. Most bookmark files have an extension of .html or .plist.After you import bookmarks, they appear at the bottom of the sidebar in a new folder whose name begins with “Imported” and ends with the date.
Hope that helps ...
- Judy

  • Copying Safari bookmarks to another machine

    How do I get my Safari settings from one machine to another, including the Bookmarks Bar and the Bookmarks menu ? When I export and import all I get is an entry on my main bookmarks page - I just want to replicate the original installation.

    Funnily enough, I was just about to post that I had fixed my own problem, that's just what I did.

  • How to copy tags preferences to another mac

    Hi I have spent some time setting up my preferences for "Tags" in Mavericks on a MacBook.
    Does anyone know a way I can copy this setup to another Mac without having to key in all the Tag names and assign Colours again?
    Thanks in advance

    Tags are metadata. So, if you copy a tagged file to another computer through a media "metadata aware", those informations are transferred transparently. Media is an abstraction for disk, network or whatever is used as a mean of transport.
    You can visualize tags associated to a file via the command line with the xattr command
    xattr -p com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags MyTaggedFile | xxd -r -p | plutil -convert xml1 - -o -
    Change MyTaggedFile with a filename you tagged to display the result.
    Or copy the tags assigned to file1 to a second file, file2
    xattr -wx com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags "$(xattr -px com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags file1)" file2;xattr -wx com.apple.FinderInfo "$(xattr -px com.apple.FinderInfo file1)" file2

    Incorrect link to "OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier". Should be http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6025

    I think the OP is saying OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier (which should be a link to HT4889) just links back to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks (HT5872).
    It does indeed do that, & HT4889 seems to be MIA.

  • How to copy my Safari Bookmarks to another apple ID device

    Hi all,
    I have my own iMac with my own Safari bookmarks.
    My wife used to share my bookmarks on iMac, but now she has her own iPad with her apple id, so she can't see my bookmarks on iPad.
    I already tried to export my bookmarks and send to her by email (html file), but it's not working properly.
    Any of you have the solution for my problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    If the privacy issue doesn't bother you, you can sync bookmarks between devices via iCloud.

  • How to sync Safari bookmarks between various Macs?

    I own a desktop iMAC and a Mac Book Pro, but most of my work is done in the iMAC, However, I'd like to sync my Safari bookmarks in my MBP in order to have the same bookmarks in it too.
    Being a mobileme subscriber, I have set it up in the iMAC and the MBP to sync the Favorites too. But it doesn't seem to work as the bookmarks in my MBP are completely different from those which I'm after, i.e. the ones in my iMAC.
    Where am I going wrong?

    HI,
    Try MobileMe: Resetting sync data
    Then open System Preferences / MobileMe - Sync
    Select Bookmarks in the list and click Sync.

  • How do I transfer my copy of Mainstage to another Mac?

    I bought MainStage from Apple last year and ran it for live purposes on  my MacBook Pro, but I want to use it on my Mac 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Mac Pro now.
    I can't find an "installer" on the MacBook Pro… just the application file itself and when I copy it over to the Mac Pro (tower) it won't launch as it says it's 'incomplete' or 'damaged'.
    Can anyone recommend a way to move the prgramme across?

    Did you purchase it from the App Store?  If so log into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it previously, go to the Purfhases section and look for it there.  You should be able to download and install again.

  • How do I share Safari bookmarks with another Apple ID  in iOS 8?

    My husband and I share the same Safari bookmarks, calendar, contacts, reminders, notes.  We've always been able to share tall of them across his devices by adding my Apple ID account to my spouse's devices in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars under settings.  The only thing I do not share is my email on his device.
    But with iOS 8, it doesn't allow me to share Safari bookmarks, it only allows me to share my calendar, reminders, notes, and contacts.
    We have an iMac with my Apple ID, running on Yosemite; all devices are on iOS 8.

    I am having the same challenge. If you find a solution please share it.

  • Sync/Copy IE bookmarks to another computer

    Hi,
    I have iTunes installed at home and have hundreds of IE bookmarks. These are sync'd to my iPhone and I see them when using Safari.
    It would be useful to have these available on my work PC, so I installed iTunes at work. I understood iTunes sync'd bookmarks automatically between computers by default? Is this right?
    Is it possible to sync or copy my bookmarks from my iPhone to work PC?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Yorkie66
    You could do it that way to sync the bookmarks. You could also use iCloud to do all the syncing for you without having to plug in your iPhone to sync. Check out the articles below for more information on how to get your bookmarks to your work computer.

  • Sync Safari bookmarks on 2 Mac's

    other than sign up for Mobile Me, is there a way to sync (even if manually moving files) 2 different Mac's Safari bookmarks & toolbar?
    thx!

    Hi,
    To sync things manually, just ensure this file is copied to the same location between computers:
    Hard drive > Users > Your username > Library > Safari > Bookmarks.plist
    (I'd highly recommend backing up the file you're about to replace on the respective machine, just in case you overwrite the more recent file )

  • Copied Safari bookmarks.plist but sync to device not taking place

    I manually deleted bookmarks from iPhone and iPad.
    Then deleted all bookmarks from mac.
    Then I added just one bookmark on the mac, and it synced as expected to the iPhone and iPad.
    I then copied my original bookmark.plist over to the Safari directory.
    This copied and all the bookmarks appear as expected on the Mac.
    Then I went to the iPhone and iPad and the bookmarks havent synced across.... do you know why?
    I've tried turning OFF Safari and selecting delete from iPhone/iPad, then restart the devices but still the bookmarks dont sync over.  Any ideas why, what have I have wrong?

  • 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.

  • Troubleshooting-iPhone contact and safari bookmarks syncing on mac - help!

    I did the update this morning. Everything is working fine but the syncing of my contacts [address book] and the safari bookmarks. they do not change at all when i try doing a syncing. I have more bookmarks in my safari mac than on the iPhone safari. the same happens with my contacts - if I update the information directly on my computer and try syncing it to the iPhone it does not update the info. Can anyone help? thanks.

    mfoto,
    Sync History is what keeps track of what has been synced and what has been changed.
    As a first step you might want to try reseting sync history as mentioned in this article:

  • Copying Safari Bookmarks from iMac to MPB

    I'd like to know the easiest way to copy my Bookmarks from my iMac to my new MPB.
    I have a wireless network, and I do have a Time Capsule (used for back-up only, not as a router).

    I'd like to know the easiest way to copy my Bookmarks from my iMac to my new MPB.
    Copy the file ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist from the iMac to the corresponding location on the MacBook Pro, where ~ is the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon. Depending on your configuration, use a file sharing connection or an external drive to move it.
