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.

  • FF 13.0.1 upgrade is in an apparent infinite reboot cycle. I'm on XP Service Pack 3. How do I fix, or recover bookmarks so I can go to an earlier version?

    I believe I was on FF v13.0 prior to this upgrade.

    The exact message I get when trying to start FF is "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?
    I've rebooted 4 times and continue to get this message.

  • 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.

  • Bookmarks got deleted on firefox 4 installation and i cannot restore them or add new ones. how to fix?

    ok so the other day i upgraded my firefox to 4 but when it opened i had no bookmarks and could not even add new ones or restore ones from previous days. I cannot drag website onto the bar where you could have button shortcuts either. I would really like to know if i could fix this because I want my bookmarks back.

    hello 43kogjvdl94, maybe the file in your profile that holds your bookmarks and history got corrupted. maybe try to rename/delete it so that it will be regenerated (please make a backup first before you proceed): go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there rename the file named '''places.sqlite''' - and restart firefox again. your history will be gone, but you should be able to restore your bookmarks through the bookmarks library > import & backup > restore...

  • Ever since the last update I don't have my old bookmarks, can't add new ones and can't import my HTML file. How do I fix this?

    ever since the last firefox update I don't have my old bookmarks, can't add new ones and can't add my HTML file of my bookmarks

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    What is an Error: 0x8477e630 and how do I fix it on an HP Officejet 7310 All in One?

    I did a Google search on Error 1450, and it seems to be a 'lack of resources' issue within windows. Not related to iTunes.
    Maybe shut down all other programs (including the TSR programs you may have loaded) and see if it helps?

    Hello,
    If you can actually see all of your tiles, you can change your configuration page settings:
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
    # Search for '''browser.newtabpage.columns''' and change it to 3, or however many columns you like
    #* Note: '''browser.newtabpage.rows''' allows you to change to how many rows you want as well
    Alternatively, you can set a fixed number of tiles with the following extension:

    How do I erase a CD read/write disc on my macbook so I can add new data. If a disc is a RW, I shouldn't i be able to write to it after it already has some data on it?
    I get a screen note saying I can't add anything because something is already on the disc... but it's only one little 3 meg file. But apple i info. shows no room on the cd.
    How can I erase the cd and reuse it? I find no erase command and when I try to drag the file to the trash, i get another note saying i don't have permission... even tho I've check off the permission box.
    sheesh.

    Open Disk Utility, choose the CD on the left side and click "Erase" on the right.
