How to backup Safari bookmarks?

I ordered Snow Leopard and want to do a clean install when it arrives. How do I backup my Safari bookmarks so I can transfer them over? Thanks.

Hi,
go to - Home/Library and make a backup of the "Safari" folder this contains bookmark/history/top site info.
If it's really only the Bookmarks you're interested in, then just copy that.
After your clean install, put them back in the same location in your Snow Leopard Home Folder.
Regards

How to restore safari bookmarks after osi update

how to restore safari bookmarks after ios. update

The only way is to restore from a useful backup, if you have one.
If you sync the iPad to iTunes and use Time Machine regularly, you would likely have the appropriate backup to restore from. In that case:
Restore the iPad backup set from Time Machine from a date before you overwrote the bookmarks. The location of the backup is ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ (you can get to it by pressing Cmd+Shift+G in the Finder and entering this path).
Connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from the backup.
If you use iCloud Backup, then you can restore from iCloud and choose which date's backup you'd like to restore from. You can check if you're using iCloud Backup by opening the Settings app on the iPad, then going to the iCloud submenu and looking at the status right below "Storage & Backup", where it would say "iCloud Backup is off." (or "iCloud Backup is on.", as the case may be).
In any case, keep in mind that restoring from a backup means you lose all application data changes after the date of the backup.

How to recover Safari bookmarks from a previous backup?

Hello,
After about six months, I had to do a complete factory restore to resolve a nasty 3G connectivity problem. The restore to factory settings was a pain but it worked. Most of my apps have desktop versions to store crucial data files, but I forgot to save my Safari bookmarks. Is there any way I can selectively go to the past backup data files and find my bookmark links? I don't want to restore to a past backup in case it reintroduces the same problem that messed up my 3G connectivity, though I am tempted.
I tried opening some of the data backups in textedit but of course all I could see was code.
Thanks for any help.
Jim

No, a backup and restore is either all or nothing. You can't selecte what to backup or to restore.

How to import Safari bookmarks?

I have reinstalled my OS. I have my previous system files. How do I import my previous Safari bookmarks into my new installation?
Thanks.

I see it's been answered.
But just in case someone is searching this, you can also use MobileMe, back to Mac option and it works very well.
I just recently did this step to my MacPro.
It doesn't have a back-up yet right out of the box.
My laptop's backup really came in handy to get maybe 5000 bookmarks in less than a second from MobileMe.
So from the new machine, just access MobileMe, and your set.

How to sync Safari bookmarks to my iPad2?

I've had my iPad2 for a few months now, and I noticed that my iMac Safari bookmarks are more current than those on my iPad2, even though I think I'm set up for them to be kept current using iCloud. I use the cable to sync with iTunes on my iMac, and I've set it up to use iCloud storage. Obviously, I'm probably causing a conflict somehow, so please review how to ensure the iPad2 bookmarks are current with the iMac.

This generally worked for me (finally!), though I think there is still a tricky place where your bookmarks in Safari on the iPad "over-write" those on the iMac. I was expecting some type of merge where bookmarks that were different in either system would be added to the other, but that may be expecting too much.
I would also suggest two slight modifications/additions (though I have not thoroughly tested these):
In step 3 - press "Keep on my iPad" after you turn off Bookmarks
In step 5 - back in your iPad, leave Bookmarks "Off"
I am disappointed that the iPad user guide fails to adequately describe how this process works. If you have both an iPad and an iMac, syncing the bookmarks seems like a pretty important function to get right.

How to save Safari bookmarks when changing ownership and ID?

My wife has her own iPad which I tied to my ID and account. Now I would like to let her have her own account and ID. I hope to share a few things eventually with home sharing. I can use her iCloud email address to set up an account for her but am concerned about her Safari bookmarks which are not linked to my account. How might I set her up and safe her bookmarks?

How to restore safari bookmarks in yosemite??

This question is answered somewhere... but I cannot seem to find the answer and I've seemingly read just about every article on the topic...
I updated my MacBook Pro to Yosemite last night which wiped out all of my Safari bookmarks (which I use daily) and restored bookmarks from 2 years ago. I tried to pull the bookmarks from my iPhone 6 (which were synced to the current and most up to date bookmarks) but somehow wiped those out and synced them with what is now on my MacBook (now not my iPhone and MacBook have the outdated bookmarks from 2 years ago).
I have tried "iPhone Backup Extractor" and "JuicePhone" to pull the bookmarks from previous backups and that did not work. I've even tried going through iCloud, which I rarely use, and ran into some dead ends there.
Please help, I am at my wit's end. Any help would be immensely appreciated!!

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library/Safari/bookmarks.plist. Restore that from your backup.

How to get Safari bookmarks into iPad Air?

I have an iMac running the current version of OS X. Also have an iPad Air with IOS 8.1.3. How can I get my Safari bookmarks on the iMac over to this iPad? Because of Apple no longer allowing simple ID's, I had to create a new ID. Trying to use this same ID on my iMac, iPad, and iPhone did not work - I spent hours trying to sort that out and gave up. Anyway, how can I get my bookmarks copied over?
Thanks, Jim

Oh, if I only knew the answer to that question. Somewhere, somehow, something got screwed up with my "new" Apple ID and the underlying email accounts. I spoke on the phone to an Apple support guy who finally gave up after 30 minutes. As it stands now, all three devices see the same email messages - very good thing. However contacts, notes and anything else on the iMac are not shared on th iPhone and iPad. The goofy thing is that those items DO share between the iPhone and the iPad, but anything I do on either of those devices is not sync'd over to the iMac. I've spent so much time messing with it that my head hurts. I wish I could simply clear out all three and start over, but the way things have worked out so far, I'd probably wind up with NOTHING working. Very, very annoying.

How to sync Safari bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air?

How does one transfer, or sync Safari bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air without involving iCloud?

Give Xmarks a try, they have an iOS app as well. It will not sync directly to Safari on the iPad, you open the links through the app.
