How to recover a Deleted Bookmark folder

After clicking on the "show all bookmarks" button in Safari, I selected the folder I wanted to delete (or thought I had), then went to the Edit Menu and chose Delete. Only later - once the Undo option had expired - did I realize it was the wrong folder.
I know that deleting files doesn't erase them, only transfers them to the empty space of the Hard Drive. Which is why I walked away from my Mac last night until I could post the following question today...
What's the best software out there to recover my old bookmark file?
P.S. Unfortunately I didn't have my bookmarks backed up with .mac.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
compare the txt file to your bookmarks plist file in textedit, or whatever editor you use.
If the file starts with the same
"bplist00Õ„…UTitle_WebBookmarkTypeXChildren...." string - you might just be in luck.
if so, I'd try backing up your current bookmarks.plist, renaming this txt file as bookmarks.plist & dropping it in the Safari folder after quitting safari, then starting safari.....
If you want to be all safe n sound - you might do this in a different user account to see if it works ( if it doesn't, safari will likely crash ).....
Even if this doesn't work, you may be able to re-construct the file correctly by examination of the start & end of a real bookmarks.plist file & mimicking that, using the data from your recovered file.

  • How to recover/restore deleted calendar?

    How to recover/restore deleted calendar?

    Actually, restore deleted calendar got the same steps as restore deleted messages. You must be a Microsoft Exchange Server account.
    1.In the folder from which the item was deleted, or in the Deleted Items folder, on the Folder tab, in the Clean Up group, click Recover Deleted Items.
    Note: If the Recover Deleted Items command is missing
    An Exchange account is required for this command to appear. If you are using an Exchange account and don’t see the command, contact your Exchange administrator.
    2.Click an item, and then click Recover Selected Items .
    Note: Your Exchange administrator specifies the retention time for deleted items. After this time elapses, deleted items cannot be restored.

  • I have multpulpe Firefox profiles on one windows user account, how do I move a bookmark folder to a different Firefox profile on the same windows user account?

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1015870 /questions/1015870]''
    I'm trying to organize my different Firefox profiles like into profiles such as, Jeep Stuff, Shopping, things to build, computers, ect. So how can I move a bookmark folder to an other Firefox profile bookmark bar. Or how can I move all my bookmarks into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

    What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
    To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

  • How to recover the deleted reports from crystal reports XIR2

    Hi,
    There have been few crystal reports have been deleted from crystal environment and i would like to know how to recover them. please advice the best possible ways to recover them. CMS repositoty in SQL server database
    thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Krishna

    Hope, your question is this "How to recover the deleted Crystal reports in XI R2".
    Answer for this question is...
    Yes, it is possible if you have backup of your CMS and FRS.
    Copy the CMS database from the backup to your database server and point the CMS ODBC system DSN to it.
    Copy the backed up file store to a Temp directory.
    Change the path of input and output file repository servers in the CMC, for each server, to the Temp file store directory.
    You will now be able to find the reports. Copy those reports to the BO server's local disk, or create a BIAR file using the Import Wizard.
    Point the ODBC system DSN back to the original database and also change the paths on input file repository and output file repository servers back to their original locations.
    Publish the reports to Enterprise from the BusinessObjects server's local hard disk.
