How to lock bookmarks bar/dock

so i have a couple of older relatives that really dont realize the concept of clicking and dragging. My grandmother really just needs facebook on her browser and its listed as a bookmark in the bar in safari, but once in a while she drags the link out of the bar and makes it disappear, which she blames on the grandkids . I would like to know if there is a way to lock out how to add and take out bookmarks as well as dock items. Maybe I create an admin account and her a user account? Suggestions would be great.
Also, my uncle has a similar problem, except he needs the authority to add and take out bookmarks, just not through dragging off of the bar.
Thanks for the help.

I believe you could use "Parental Controls" (see System Preferences) to lock the Dock icons in place. About the bookmarks I'm not sure. Maybe just set Facebook as the home page in Safari and not even show the bookmark bar ...

How to restore bookmarks bar

after an update on September 01, 2011 Bookmarks disappeared even though View->Toolbars->Bookmarks toolbar is checked. Also, it is impossible to add any new webpage to the bar. It just does not appear on the top.
I wonder how to make the Bookmarks bar visible again.

Check and tell if its working.

How arrange Safari Bookmarks Bar

Using Safari 5.1.3. After I add a bookmark to the Bookmarks Bar, in the Show all Bookmarks window I drag it to the position I prefer. But Safari immediately and automatically moves it back to the top of the list (hence to the far left of the items shown on the Bookmarks Bar itself).
How can I keep items in the order I prefer?
I note that I seem to have no difficulty doing this for bookmarks on the Bookmarks Menu.

Might be corrupted Safari preferences ...
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit, relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash, If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't help, go to your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
You can also try deleting the Cache.db file from the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari folder.
It took Reset Safari to fix this (after trying the other methods you recommended).

How do you alter the bookmarks bar on an iMac?

How do you alter the bookmarks bar on an iMac?

Safari bookmark bar is viewed by clicking on the book icon on the far left side of the bar, and selecting the Bookmarks Bar Collection.
Drag bookmarks and folders into the Bookmarks bar Collection or directly into the bookmarks Bar if you want them to appear there. You can edit them right on the spot by clicking on them once.
If you mean the Dock, the translucent bar that starts at the bottom of the screen (which you can put on the side of the screen), just drag items to the left side of the Dock's divider that are applications you wish to keep a shortcut to. Folders to the right side. When you minimize a window with the yellow control, it minimizes to the same side of the divider as the folders and documents you might drag to the Dock. Note, the Dock is only a shortcut. Many mistake it for a folder. It is not. If you want your application to be dragged out of a DMG you just double clicked, drag it to your Hard drive -> Applications folder. Dragging it to the Dock will only make it inaccessible when you dismount the image. And when you trash the image, the application is gone. Only if you store it in your Hard drive -> Applications folder is it safe.
If you mean the Finder window left sidebar just drag items into it between the icons already there. Your Finder menu's Preferences allows you to select default folders and devices to show there.

How do you add a web site to a folder in the iMac Bookmarks Bar?

Safari 6.0.5 does not have a "+" left of the URL. According to the Apple Safari video, that is how you add a web site to a folder in the Bookmarks bar.

Drag the website "icon" from the URL bar into the folder in the Bookmarks Bar.
When you start draging, a green + will appear.
Best.

How do I drag a link to the bookmarks bar?

This started with a simple attempt to install an app that will let me see page source at sites I'm looking at (I'm doing web development and learning to customize for iphone). When I went to a site to get me started, it said all I had to do was drag thhis link ("this link" was hyperlinked text) to the bookmarks bar. I tried touching the link and dragging it to bookmarks bar but that just moved the whole page. I tried holding my finger on the link until it showed a gray background and dragging to the book marks bar. Same problem. I googled dragging links and found some sites that talked about using a + symbol in the bookmarks bar. I don't see one. I have an iPhone 3GS, and the bookmarks bar has a left arrow, right arrow, box with an arrow pointing out of it, open book symbol and double page symbol. So I looked for another way to add this ability to view source, and found a page where I guy had developed a little JavaScript that needed to be added to my iPhone. He suggested I email it to my iPhone, then copy and paste it to a specific location. So I googled how to copy and paste on an iPhone. Guess what? Found another page where I was instructed to drag "this link" to the bookmarks bar to give me the ability to cut and paste. I tried all kinds of finger tricks in the email, trying to copy the JavaSCript and finally gave up in complete aggravation. These should be baby steps and I can't make any of them work.
On top of everything else, I can't even get iSafari to have a simple home page. What's up with that /#X%&*\# ?
Very, very frustrated. On a desktop PC I'm very good with all kinds of software and system tools and tweaks. On my groovy new iPhone, I feel like a dope. What happened to the intuitive interface of Apple products? Help?

Yes, I'm familiar with the old RTFM rule, but I tried four different times to retrieve that manual form the Apple site. Each time got an error message that something was wrong, that they were working on it, and to please come back later. On the fifth try last night, I got through and successfully downloaded the user guide. Woo hoo!

How can I make my Bookmarks bar show up like in Safari?

I want to have a bookmarks bar immediately underneath the URL bar, extending the length of the window, so I can have my bookmark folders in view at all times.
Also I don't understand the "Automatically add" button on this screen. It looked like something you were recommending, but then it said "Author not verified." If the author is not verified, why would you recommend it?
I tried the manual method described below, but when I clicked Edit in the menubar, there is no small box that opens. However, here is the information I was told to paste in the other box on this screen:

How do I remove "Bookmark Bar" folders in Safari Bookmarks?

My Bookmarks sync fine between my iPhone and iPad, except that iCloud keeps creating "Bookmark Bar" folders. They are driving me crazy because I cannot delete OR move them out of the way.
There are now SIX unused (empty) "Bookmark Bar" folders making it rediculously cumbersome when I try to scroll down to my actual Bookmarks.
PLEASE, oh PLEASE HELP! How can I remove all those "Bookmark Bar" folders?
I am on iPad2 and iPhone4 with the latest iOS. I tried turning iCloud "Sync Bookmarks" off, rebooting both devices, and turning Sync back on. That seems to be when iCloud wants to add even more empty "Bookmark Bar" folders.
- Cody

Ok, so...ARGH!!! The solution was SO SIMPLE that I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out.
Long story short: I was able to delete the "Bookmarks Bar" folders (15 in all!) from my PC (Win7). AND, the process did NOT delete all my existing iDevice Bookmarks (YAY!).
So, in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread with the same issue:
Open iCloud on your PC
Turn on option to sync bookmarks with IE
('yes' to merge bookmarks- This step does not delete your existing bookmarks on your iDevices)
Make sure your iDevices are set to sync bookmarks in iCloud.
Next, open your "Favorites" in IE on your PC and right-click/delete all "Bookmarks Bar" folders.
Voila! Done! No more Bookmarks BarS...although there will be ONE that will not go away. One is better than 15:)

In Yosemite, How do I change the background color of menu bar, dock and sidebar?

Right now my background for the Menu Bar, Dock, etc is RED. I'd like to change it to something more subtle.
Anyone know how?
Does it relate to the desktop picture I have? or ???

You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.
