I cannot add bookmarks in Safari on my iPad2
I find a page I want to bookmark, select "add bookmark", select the appropriate place, and select "save". It looks like it works, but the bookmark does not appear in the folder I selected, or anywhere for that matter. Do i have to reinstall Safari?
Probably the fastest and easiest is with the pinch gesture.

Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1
Hello,
Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1.
I have followed the steps below:
1) Export all Safari bookmarks to an HTML file (File --> Export Bookmarks)
2) Import bookmarks into Firefox (Bookmarks --> Show all bookmarks --> Import and Backup --> Import Bookmarks from HTML)
Firefox seems to load the HTML file, but the bookmarks never show up in Firefox.
Any thoughts about why this is happening?
Best,

any other browser...is this GEEK"S revenge again?''' -
HT1677 Cannot add tab in safari
I cannot add tab in safari - when I tab +. It goes back to home screen instead of adding a new tab in safari

2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo -
To import bookmarks from Safari on a Mac following the instructions for the import wizard, I am to select "import" under the Firefox file menu, but "import" is grayed out, so I cannot select it.
* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode. In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
* Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

Can't add bookmark in Safari; Mac Pro 10.8.2 ?
Safari won't add bookmark; Mac Pro,Safari, OSX 10.8.2 ?
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?

No matter what I try, cannot add bookmarks
I have followed all the troubleshooting tips related to "lost" bookmarks, "unable to add bookmark," reset the toolbar," and no matter what I try (click on star, click on "bookmark this page") I cannot get the new download of firefox to add bookmarks. When I click on "Show All Bookmarks" nothing appears. The "Library" frame is totally blank.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I'm using e17 DE now and have installed evince as well,
and I found I could not add bookmarks for pdf in evince...
that is, there's a "add bookmark" button to click, but it keeps grey and I cannot click it.
so any solution here? any idea is appreciated, and thanks in advance
(BTW, if there are other pdf reader which provide bookmark function too(except okular), please let me know
update: i've test it under lxde, xfce and gnome, and it works well under gnome and xfce... don't know the cause

maybe need other services loaded first? i've tried some de and found it worked fine under gnome, but didint't work under other DE... confused
vim-like one... i don't really get used to it= = sorry -
Cannot delete bookmarks in Safari
Every time I try to delete a bookmark from the bookmark bar, Safari locks up and I have to force quit. I can't get the bookmark icon to open at all. When I go to Bookmarks on the Safari toolbar, it shows what I want to delete, but locks up when I try to actually perform the task. This is getting old really fast! I bet I've sent 25 "reports to Apple" in the past 2 days. Advice welcomed and appreciated.
Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
If you still have the original file from your other computer, first trash the existing bookmarks.plist file found (via the Finder) in your Home>Library>Safari folder. Then, copy that file to your new computer via Airport, or copy to a flash drive, or CD. Copy it to the Safari folder.
Next, restart Safari.
If you don't have access to that file, export your existing bookmarks to the Desktop via the File Menu. Then, trash the existing bookmarks.plist file. Now open Safari, File>Import bookmarks. Navigate to the file you exported to your desktop. Try to delete or add a bookmark.
If the problem persists, try Safari from another User Account (you can create one, if necessary, in System Preferences>Accounts. If the Bookmarks function doesn't work there, then reinstall Safari.

I'm having a problem adding a new bookmark and bookmark folder. When I try to do either I get the spinning ball and nothing happens. I know it's not the site that's causing the problem, because I can add them to Safari on my iPod Touch. Any ideas as to what the problem with Safari on my mini could be? Thanks for the help.
HI,

Try resetting Safari and empty the cache.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Relaunch Safari.

I can't add Bookmarks on Safari
Safar don't update my bookmark list when I want to add a new bookmark.
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari.
Move the cache.db file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. Try adding a Bookmark.
If that didn't help, could be the preferences are corrupted ..
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) represents the Home folder.
For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library -
Cannot access bookmarks using Safari on I-Phone
I am suddenly unable to access bookmarks using Safari on my I-Phone. When I press the Bookmarks icon in the toolbar at the bottom, it doesn't come up with my bookmarks but shows another toolbar instead with a single button on the left hand side called "Edit". Bookmarks are all there and accessible when using Safari on my computer and have been imported to my I-Phone. The "Send webpage as URL" icon also doesn't do anything, neither does the "Home" icon. "previous" and "Next" icons do work.
Turning off wouldn't help because settings would remain even after you restarted. So contact your email provider and them for the correct settings.

MacBook Pro - FireFox 4
I was able in the past (earlier FireFox versions) to import bookmarks from Safari when clicking on the "Organize Bookmarks." This now is not available. Instead, under "file" there is an "import" option but it is NOT highlighted, i.e., it is not available for clicking. How do you import bookmarks from Safari (or any other browser) after you have used FireFox for a while. i.e., not when you first set it up, but later?"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.
The option to import can be disabled if you are in private browsing mode. To stop Firefox opening in private browsing mode do this:
# Open the Preferences window and go to the Privacy panel
# Change the setting "Firefox will" to "Remember history", alternatively if you set it to "Use custom settings for history", de-select the setting "Permanent Private Browsing mode" -
Cannot delete or add bookmarks in Safari 8.0.3 on my iMac
Although I've been a Mac user forever, I've always preferred Google products, especially Chrome. I decided to give Safari another try after updating to 8.0.3 but am ready to go right back to Chrome and just deal with the syncing issues.
I am trying to personalize Safari and absolutely cannot get the bookmarks to change. I do NOT want Bing, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or Yahoo in my favorites (they aren't MY favorites, goshdarnit!) but no matter how I try to delete them (right-click, delete; drag into the desktop; delete from the menu) they always pop back when I restart Safari.
Moreover, any bookmarks I add (including bookmark folders) disappear as soon as I log out. I have researched the issue (clearly I'm not alone with this problem) and have tried the following:
1. Opened iCloud preferences from Finder and unchecked the box next to Safari. Restarted computer. No love.
2. Another user asked a similar question (it wasn't answered) and someone suggested he try to move the bookmarks.plist to the desktop and then relaunch Safari. I tried to move bookmarks.plist to the desktop and relaunch Safari but when I got to the part in the instructions where I was to paste bookmarks.plist into the "Go To" text box in Finder, I got the error message that "library can't be found.
I have also "turned the computer off and turned it back on again" several times, just to make sure.
I'm at a loss. I'm not *that* computer savvy so I've been reluctant to do anything that requires going into directories and typing a lot of stuff that looks suspiciously like code :-)
So now I'm stuck with these stupid "favorite" bookmarks stinking up my favorites bar and no way to add my own. I have checked Safari settings on my iPad and iPhone (both brand new and everything updating to iCloud and supposedly synced) and they both have different preset favorites than the ones on the iMac. I have only tried to save bookmarks on the iMac.
TIA!Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
