How to clear all bookmarks and then IMPORT

.Mac synch messed up my bookmarks. I really thought "merge" meant add any that weren't there before. Instead every single bookmark now appears twice, including the bookmark bar.
How do I delete everything - to start with a clean slate, and import from an export I created from my Powerbook? I think it is time to ditch synching and do it manually. I never really worked for me anyway.
I looked at <<Reset Safari>> but that doesn't mention bookmarks?

Hi Vegemite,
To CLEAR ALL Bookmarks you can trash the Bookmarks.plist. You will find it here ...
Finder>Home_Folder>Library>Safari Folder>Bookmarks.plist
I suggest to drag the Bookmarks.plist first to the desktop an import them again from your Powerbook. When everything is OKAY than trash the Bookmarks.plist from the desktop.
Good luck ... post back ...

    I want to export my bookmarks from my desktop and then import them into Firefox on my laptop. The Help file tells me to open "Organize Bookmarks" 'but I can't find it! Help!

    Sorry, that menu item was renamed. You want "Show All Bookmarks" now.

  • How to delete all bookmarks and replace with backup?

    Trying to sync my new iPad with my MacBook Pro and iPhone via MobileMe has created some fun new problems. For starters: I now have a full set of duplicate Safari bookmarks. Two of everything.
    Fortunately, I (think) I made a safe backup before performing the fateful merge (suggested by Sync) that caused the duplicates. So now I'd like to delete ALL my bookmarks and re-import the saved backup bookmarks.
    But I can't figure out how to delete all my bookmarks at once. It looks like my only choice is to delete them one at a time. Is there some way to simply trash the entire bookmarks file and re-import the ones I saved?

    HI Adam,
    You can use Safari Prairiefire to find duplicate Safari Bookmarks.

    After you install the software which you can use in demo version to do this click the Get Bookmarks tab. Then from the menu click: Tools / Check Duplicates.
    I've had the same thing happen using my MobileMe account also.

  • How do I clear the bookmarks and history on safari with ios 7 system?

    I'm using safari on my ipad with ios 7.02 operating system.  I've searched for answers in several places but no one seems to know how to clear the bookmarks and history on safari which show up below the address bar when you type in a new website address.  Does anyone know how to clear this out?  I've searched several places and others seem to have the same problem.

    Click on the bookmark icon > Edit > Create a New Folder and call it whatever you want then
    Settings > Safari > Favorites > select the new empty folder you just created.
    To clear the history:
    Settings > Safari > Clear History
    or
    In Safari click the bookmark icon > History > Clear

  • How can I edit budgeted cost/unit in excel and then import into P6?

    I would like to edit resource assignements (budgeted cost/unit) month by month in an excel file, and then import it into P6. Is this possible?
    It seems that the resource assignments month by month cannot be exported to an excel file. Is there anyone who can help me find a solution to this problem?
    Thanks a lot.
    By the way, I foud I can use the reporting function to get the excel file with month by month resource assignment information and can edit the values, but I cannot then import the changes into P6.

    not sure if this helps at all, but..
    when you refer to importing units (or costs) by period, do you mean past financial period actual data or future bucket planning data ?
    if it's the former, you can select corresponding financial period fields (period actual units and/or cost) for export to excell. unfortunately not sure why they are marked (*) which means they cannot be modified and reimported just as easily.
    an update of the same fields in the P6 database can be performed through P6 Timesheets (or similar solutions) through SDK (and possibly API or Webservices).
    if it's the latter, i don't see how *"future bucket planning" or any other non-linear distribution* (which can be a bit too much and quite time consuming in p6), can be made easier in excell.
    i think predefined non-linear resource curves are a good compromise, but if that doesn't suit your needs, you can define *"custom resource curves"* of your own for resource assignments using the resource usage spreadsheet.
    you would need to enter values for budgeted units for several future intervals (depending on the timescale)
    e.g. for months 1 to 4, you manually set budgeted units to 1, 0, 2 and 4h respectively, resulting in a total of budgeted units for the assignment of 7h.
    if you then modify the 7h to 70h, the sistem will adjust the period values proportionally to the initial values, resulting 10, 0, 20 and 40 h respectively.
    best of luck

  • How can I change the apple ID on my iPhone to clear all contents and installation?

    I still have my iPhone 4s, Which I stopped using when the screen died. I bought a new iPhone 5s. Since, I've changed my Apple ID main e-mail address.
    Today I had the screen of the old 4s fixed. Now I want to clear all contents and installation so that I can sell it.
    Problem is, that it keeps asking me to verify my Apple ID with my old e-mail address, which obviously doesn't work.
    I've allready changed the Apple ID e-mail address in the Apple-ID area in settings. But this doesn't help.
    Does anyone know the way out of this?!?
    Thanks!

    I have an iphone 4s ios 7.0.2. Before updating to the latest ios i had songs in my iphone. after updating also it was there, but when i wanted to put more songs through itunes in my iphone , i synced with itunes first with my iphone. Then i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs had been synced. But in my iphone it showed me that there is no songs at all and i have to download it from itunes store. The songs which i had also went from my iphone. I dont know what happened. I updated my itunes to the latest one 11.1.1. But still no change . Can anyone tell me what is the problem. What to do?

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

  • Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

    Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the SD card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

    Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
    If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
    To remove the image capture preferences:
    If Aperture is running, quit Aperture,  and log off and on again.
    Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/  then hit return.
    In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
    and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture  something .plist  remove them too.
    then try again.
    And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
    ~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
    You can reveal it also  from the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Finder > Go,   then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

  • Drop database 8.1.7.0 and then import

    Hi,
    We are having Oracle database 8.1.7.0
    Now, i have to drop the whole database and then import the whole database through import utility to recover the database.
    Export .dmp file is available as backup for the whole database.
    what are the steps for it ???
    or do provide the good link to refer the topic.
    With Regards

    Hi..
    Export dump can't be used to recover the database. It will provide you the data up till when it was taken. Suppose the export dump is of one day back , so you will get theconsistent data till 1 day back. Once, imported you can't perform any sort of recovery on it.
    CAs you have dropped the whole database , create a new database, create all the tablespace and the users similar to the one that were previously in the old database and then use the imp utilit with fromuser touser parameters or full=y parameter.
