How do I edit iPad Safari bookmarks?

When I set up my iPad almost 3 years ago, I simply pulled my existing Safari bookmarks, junk and all, on to my iPad. Now I want and need to clean up and reorganize those bookmarks, and I can't see how to move existing items to new folders, or to execute other moves that would move items through a hierarchy.
I've been having severe Safari crashes for more than a year, and I would like to prune bookmarks to see if this would help.

Tap the bookmarks icon and then tap Edit in the upper right corner of the bookmarks window. You can move them up and down by dragging them using the 3 horizontal ones next to the bookmarks. You can also delete bookmarks by swiping across them to bring up the red delete button.
After you tap the Edit button you should also see a New Folder Button at the top of the bookmarks window.

There is no Apple store or service store in my country so I think I must do it my self. Feel free to share your guide, thanks.

  • How do you sort the safari  "Bookmarks Bar" bookmarks

    how do you sort the safari  "Bookmarks Bar" bookmarks

    Here is the workaround for sorting your bookmarks - you don't have to do it manually as suggested in the previous answer here. This is from a 2006 page at Hints.Macworld.com
    "One thing that bugs me is that there is no option in Safari to alphabetize bookmarks. I had a crazy idea about how to accomplish this, and it seems to work. Hopefully I'm not missing something more obvious.
    What I did was open the Bookmarks window (Bookmarks: Show All Bookmarks), put the links I wanted to alphabetize into a folder, and then dragged that folder into the Finder. The Finder alphabetizes the bookmarks; you can then just drag the folder back into the Bookmarks window. You probably have to set the Finder to arrange files by name before it will work. Hope this helps!
    [robg adds: When you drag the folder back, you'll now have two folders, the original and the sorted one. Just delete the original, and you're set. You can also do this without first creating a Safari folder. Just select all the bookmarks to be alphabetized, drag them into a new folder in the Finder, open that folder (make sure it's set to sort by name or use column view), then drag the now-sorted bookmarks back into Safari's Bookmarks window. Again, you'll have duplicates, so just delete the originals (which will be grouped above the newly-placed list). I wonder if any of this is scriptable...]"
    If you're like me and you like to keep all of your bookmarks in folders in the Bookmarks bar, then from the Bookmarks window you would open the Bookmarks Bar in a window of its own before doing the above.

  • How to get back my safari bookmarks?

    First off all i like to say that i am really happy with my Macbook Pro! Apple did (again) a great development!
    I have decided to replace my 80gb stock drive with a 160gb drive from Samsung. My new Samsung drive is beautifully! All the space i need, fast and silent.
    Now the real problem: I can get all the data from my old HD by using a external sata-usb converter. But how can i get my safari bookmarks back? I can't find them any where on the HD.
    There should be a solution, or not? Where can i find them?
    Please help me, really need my bookmarks back!
    Already thanks for your answers!

    You'll find your bookmarks file here…
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    … so if you copy this from your old drive to your new drive you're all set. Be sure to quit Safari first.

  • How do I sync. Safari Bookmarks

    Step by step please, how dI sync my Safari bookmarks to and from my iPad4? I did it once but now can't remember how. Do I have to use MobileMe because that's not set up. Thanks. It would also be nice if I could alphabetise the iPad Bookmarks. Can I?

    MobileMe is now history and replaced by iCloud, which as you know does not work in Snow Leopard (although there are workaround, if you care to search for them).  However, since you have access to Mavericks...
    Reboot into your Mavericks partition and setup iCloud there and this should satisfy all of your sync'ng needs.
    Good work, keeping your Snow Leopard environment intact! 
    Too many SL users are seduced by Apple's pop-up window from the App Store in SL enticing them into downloading a "free" upgrade to Mavericks, which then destroys their SL environment (requiring backup restores, or worse!).

  • 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 do i fix my safari bookmarks so I can add new ones?

    First off, I need to let you all know that i am not computer savvy! I noticed the past couple of days that I can no longer add new bookmarks to my Safari. I thought I had too many so I deleted a lot but it still won't let me add any new ones. Has anyone else had this problem? If you know how to fix it, please let me know. Also if you could explain how to fix it in plain English I would appreciate it. I googled my problem and the responses I read as to how to fix it I couldn't understand. The computer speak was beyond me. Thanks in advance for any help you all can give me!

    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • How can I import old Safari bookmarks from a cache

    I had a bit of data disaster when upgrading to Snow Leopard from Tiger. Lost my home directory, and now lost the backup too aaaaahhh.
    An older backup has what looks like Safari bookmarks in /library/caches/metadata/safari/bookmarks
    The files all end with a ".webbookmark" suffix
    when opened in TextWrangler they appear as below:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>Name</key>
    <string>Spanish Tortilla Recipe</string>
    <key>URL</key>
    <string>http://www.spanish-fiestas.com/recipes/tortilla.htm</string>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    Can I import these into Safari somehow?

    You could try pasting them into the current Bookmarks.plist and save with Textwrangler. Not sure if it will work but that may be all you can do. Run plutil after to check for errors via terminal. Relaunch Safari.
    Current bookmarks:
    User/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

  • How do I edit the Safari 2 Safe Files list

    I need certain filetypes to be auto-opened, usually in my own Automator scripts. With some web searching, I found some information about a plist file that can be edited to add to the list of auto-opening safe files, but this seems to have no effect on my version of Safari. Could someone please post a link that explains how to do this?
    I'm using OS X 10.4.8 and Safari 2.0.4.
    Thanks!
    Daniel

    This doesn't apply to me anymore.

  • IPad safari bookmarks in new tab but not icon

    My bookmarks stopped syncing between my MBP and my iPad.
    i have full, up to date selection of bookmarks when I click the + icon for a new tab ... But my 'book' icon remains resolutely empty ... What am I missing?
    After considerable research I thought I had sorted it .. But no :-( I have disabled safari syncing on both devices ... Re-enabled it, with time periods between, restarted both devices etc. etc. both devices are running up to date versions of their respective OS. Is there a setting that I missed.
    Thanks.

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
