How to undo Safari copying bookmarks, history, favorites, and reading list from Macbook Pro to iMac after Yosemite update?

I just updated my iMac 27inch Mid 2011 to Yosemite 10.10.2.  I have a Macbook Pro that I primarily use for everyday stuff. I upgraded to Yosemite a while ago on my macbook. Now that I upgraded my iMac, it transferred everything saved in Safari on my macbook pro to my iMac. My favorites, history, bookmarks, and reading list were copied over. This is driving me nuts! I had a separate set of data saved on the iMac because I use it for different purposes. All of the original bookmarks, favorites, history, etc. on my iMac are now gone. I logged out of iCloud (which was a feature I did not enjoy when upgrading to Yosemite) yet all of the safari data from my laptop is still cloned onto my iMac. Please tell me there is a way to undo this or refresh safari pre-Yosemite update!
Thank you!

Then there's no way to recover the lost data. You will lose every bit of data you have if you don't start backing up.

  • How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?  I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen. 

    Hi there rainyri!
    The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

  • How do i transfer my data from macbook pro to iMac?

    i just bought a iMac.  How do i transfer my itunes library, photos, files via bluetooth from macbook pro to my iMac?  Much thanks for your help!

    I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
    If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work.

  • How do I clear all personal data bookmarks history etc and import data from safari

    I have a MacBookpro 10.6.8 and I am trying to clear ALL personal data on my new Firefox 12 (Bookmarks History etc) and then import all settings from my Safari. I've deleted the Firefox application as well as Library/application support/mozilla and Firefox still retains all of the old settings (Bookmarks History etc) from the old version 3
    How do I do this.
    Thanks

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    Make sure that Firefox is closed (Firefox > Quit Firefox) when you remove files in the profile folder.
    You can also create a new profile.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    You can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile if you want to keep some data.

  • How do I get Pages on my iPhone and Pages on my Macbook Pro to sync through iCloud?

    Hi All,
    I just downloaded the Pages app for my Iphone4 and I've already had the Pages app for my Macbook Pro and I want the documents (proposals for work) thats saved on my Mac to obviously be available on my phone through Pages.  I've turn on the documents & data in both units in the iCloud.  I thought the stuff would automatically be transfered.  Id there something more I need to do?? And isn't iWork going away? not that I use it (well I did for 2 estimates/proposals) only.  Someone please help I've read numerous threads and nothing works.
    Thanks,
    Sean 

    Apple has not updated the desktop versions of the iWork apps to use iCloud. Until they do you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or iTunes to sync files. You could also try e-mail or DropBox.
    No, iWork is not going away. The iWork.com (beta) service that was introduced with iWork '09 at Macworld in January, 2009, is going away.

  • Hi I am running a dual core Win7 64bit PC with Firefox Regular and Nightly on it. I also have 32bit Win XP Virtual PC on the same PC with Firefox... How do I sync all of them to give me the same bookmarks, history, cookies and passwords ??? TIA... Rick...

    Hi... I am running a dual core, Win7 64bit PC, with Firefox Regular and Nightly on it... I also have 32bit Win XP Virtual PC on the same PC with Regular Firefox... How do I sync all of them to give me the same bookmarks, history, cookies and passwords ???

    I assume that you have separate Profiles for the Release and Nightly installations.

    Add each Firefox Profile to your Sync account as a '''new device'''. <br />

  • How to sync reading lists from my Safari on Macbook with the iPhone Safari?

    How can I sync my reading lists on the Safari on my Macbook Pro to the Safari on my iPhone?
    Do I need to use iCloud?

    Howdy Anna,
    Indeed, iCloud can keep your Bookmarks, Reading List, and currently open tabs available across devices.
    Bookmarks, Reading List, and iCloud Tabs
    iCloud keeps your bookmarks and Reading List up to date in Safari on all your devices. It also updates iCloud Tabs to show you all the webpages you have open in Safari on your Mac computers with OS X v10.8 or later and your iOS devices with iOS 6 or later.
    OS X Mavericks: Keep content current on all your devices with iCloud

  • How to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    how to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/how-can-i-forma t-external-drive-in-exfat-not-in/0f6bf19a-19d6-4470-ae05-53ddf26bb476?msgId=1860 eae3-3488-4eea-8326-f87b89d9851b
    once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.

  • HT4718 I had a copy of Mountain Lion on my late 2008 MacBook Pro, having replaced Lion which it came with. But the drive,crashed, so I replaced the drive and reinstalled Lion from the original disks I had. How do I get another copy of Mountain Lion?

    A 2008 Mac won't have originally shipped with Lion. You need to install 10.6.8 on the computer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion, click on the Purchases tab, and download it.

  • How to copy 5 minhome video DVD clip on to Macbook Pro than make a DVD cop

    ???
    Can not figure out how do take the DVD R which plays fine and load to my macbook pro hard drive...(computer is brand new) than want to make copies of the clip on blank DVDs with no editing... just a straight copy.
    Thanks

    knbcpab,
    Is this a mini DVD-R, burned directly in a camcorder? If it is, Do Not Attempt To Put It In Your Macbook Pro's Optical Drive!!!.
    Mini disks cannot be read by your Superdrive, and they will get stuck in it, perhaps damaging it in the process. Apple will not cover any such damage.
    Disk Utility will image, then produce as many copies as you like. But, doing so with a mini disk will require that you use an external, tray-loading drive capable of handling the mini disk. Of course, you can use your Superdrive as long as the disk is full-sized. With the disk mounted, select it in Disk Utility and click the "New Image" icon in the Toolbar. You need to create a "DVD/CD Master" image.
