how do i restore bookmarks on my macbook

Two or more users are synchronizing Safari with iCloud while signed in with the same Apple ID. At least one should sign out of iCloud in its preference pane and sign in with a different ID. If you want to keep sharing the same ID, uncheck the box marked Safari in the preference pane.

How can I restore bookmarks?

I have hundreds of bookmarks which I've acquired over a number of years, most in folders on the bookmark bar on my iMac. I use Chrome as a browser. I also have a Nexus 7 and have an app called Chromesync, to sync the bookmarks from my iMac to my other devices. I synced bookmarks via the Nexus 7 a few days ago, and when I went into the bookmarks bar on my iMac (and also on my Macbook Pro) the folders showed in the bookmarks bar but they were all empty... absolutely NO bookmarks at all.
I back up with Time Machine once a day. I also have an additional external HD which backs up once a week. How can I restore my bookmarks from either of those backups?
Thanks.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I do have Time Machine backups and also a clone of my iMac HD on an external HD. I just don't know how to restore from them.
Thanks.

How can I restore bookmarks to Safari?

I accidentally synced my wife's MB Air to my iCloud account and wiped out her Safari bookmarks and her contacts. How can I restore them? Her machine is backed up with Time Machine so I imagine I can use library files/plist to restore, but don't know which file to use, etc.
Thanks,

so I imagine I can use library files/plist to restore, but don't know which file to use
You're on the right track...
Using Time Machine...
The file you need is Bookmarks.plist located in ~/LIbrary/Safari

How do I restore bookmarks from an Acronis backup to a new disk?

I am building a new computer and having trouble with Firefox.
I am using a SSD C:\ drive and trying to put my programs on D:\ in order to save space on the SSD drive.
I made a backup using Acronis True Image Home of my entire C:\ drive.
I can't seem to get the bookmarks to restore from the backup. I have put it in the same folder but Firefox won't recognize it. I've tried renaming it to the same name as the folder created by Firefox and renaming the default but that doesn't work.
I had Firefox create a brand new profile and when I look in he folder I see a folder named startupCache and a couple of others.
In my old bookmarks folder I see six Cache files and a urlclassifier3.sqlite.
How can I get the old bookmarks into my new Firefox profile?

Yes, if I right click on a profile in the profile manager when I start Firefox it shows me the path to the profile. It is in the AppData\Roaming section.
For the sake of brevity I haven't typed in the full path name, just enough to let you know where I am putting them, I hope.
I put it there. No good.
I just looked at the profile I restored to the AppData\Local section ( it seems Firefox puts a copy there too ) and merged the one that showed the Cache folders which came from my backup disk with the profile of the same name in the Roaming section.
Still no go. No bookmarks showing up. If I click on the profile folder it shows the Cache files etc. are all there but it doesn't do anything.
This has gotten very aggravating. All files seem to be where they should be but it doesn't work.

How can I restore bookmarks from a now dead computer to a new computer? I cannot access the bookmark library as directed in the restore article.

My old computer died. I got a new computer 2 weeks ago. I tried using the restore from backup function as described in the Mozilla help article. However, when I click on the bookmark icon, it only shows menus, not the library as described in the article. How do I access the backup function so I can move my old bookmarks to my new machine?

Thank you, it worked well, once I looked for the files to match.
Thank you for your help.

Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Enter Time Machine and restore the item.

How can I restore bookmarks after I pressed clear data for Firefox on Android

I have pressed clear data for Firefox in Android Application manager. On SGS4 it is Settings->Options->Application manager->Fitefox->Clear data. Can I restore my bookmarks now?

Android's Clear Data button completely deletes your Firefox settings files. I am not aware of any way to undo that unless there is an "unerase" tool for Android files as there are on desktop operating systems.
Some ways you might have made a copy of those bookmarks:
* Did you ever set up Firefox Sync and sync the bookmarks to a Firefox Account?
* Did you ever use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/android/addon/copy-profile/ Copy Profile add-on] in Firefox for Android?

Old computer crashed, restored data to new computer from Carbonite, how do I restore bookmarks?rt my bookmarks from carbonite?

My old computer crashed. Fortunately I had Carbonite and was able to restore my data to a new computer, but I have not been able to import or restore or transfer my bookmarks.
I went Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import & Backup, then tried both "Restore." The Restore showed several dated backups but in spite of the message "This will replace all your current bookmarks" it did not. Next time around I tried: "Import Bookmarks from HTML." But I could not find where the the bookmark folder was located.

The reason behind the above questions is that, if you started Firefox before restoring your backup, you probably have a differently named settings folder (Firefox profile folder).
I'm going to assume for the moment that your Carbonite restore used the same folder paths you had on your old Windows 7/Windows Vista computer. If it was a Windows XP computer, the following won't lead you to the right place.
To find other settings folders, try the following. From within Firefox:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
This is your currently active folder. Navigate up a level to the Profiles folder. Do you see other folders? Do any of them have recent .json backups in their bookmarkbackups folders? This would be where to point the Restore dialog to get your bookmarks.

How can I restore bookmarks from a hard drive?

I had a hard drive problem and could not run windows in the hard drive.I was able to copy the drive to another drive.
Now what I would like to do would be to find a file that has the bookmarks on that drive at included on the new hard drive.
Can this be done?
We would I find the files?

The bookmarks, along with the history is stored in a file called places.sqlite inside the profile folder. In Windows 7 the default location for the profile folder is:
C:\Users\<Windows user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
The profile folder name will typically be xxxxxxxx.default, where xxxxxxxx is a random set of characters. The profile folder is normally hidden, to display it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
With Firefox closed you can copy the places.sqlite file from this location into your current profile folder. You can recover more than just the bookmarks, for details see [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].

How do I restore bookmarks from a favorites folder?

My hard drive crashed and when replaced it I moved from Windows XP to Windows 7. I did not backup my Bookmarks with Firefox, but I do have a backup file listed under Favorites on an external drive. Most of my Bookmarks are in folder format. Is there any way to import or add the Favorites folder to Firefox without having to individually add each bookmark file?

Export your favorites from IE in HTML format, and import that file into Firefox.
In IE: <br />
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
''then in Firefox:'' <br />
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file
