Import safari bookmarks?

Hi all,
I accidentally deleted a folder in Safari which has several important links within it. I managed to use third party software to recover the deleted bookmarks, but have been unable to find any way to import them back into the phone. The file is simply a html file, but for the life of me, I cannot find of anyway to import it back into the iPhone 5s.
I'm unsure why you'd be able to recover files that you couldn't do anything with!
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you want to migrate your entire user account?
If so, use Migration Assistant.
If not, the Safari bookmarks are in your user Library/Safari folder. The file is called Bookmarks.plist
To get to your user Library, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu.

  • Importing Safari bookmark folder to Leopard

    Hi, i just got a new mpb, and i used to use Tiger on my old one. I am trying to import my bookmark file which was located in Library in the OS to the new Leopard location: Library>Caches>Metadata>Safari. I copy and pasted from Tiger to Leopard, but the bookmark bar and bookmarked pages have not changed in Safari. Am I doing this right? thanks.

    There is no way to keep a folder in the right-hand window from opening when you drop a bookmark into it.
    In placing a folder or bookmark between to folders, keep the cursor tight to the left-hand border of the window. When you are between two folders, you will see a line appear and you can then drop the bookmark or folder. If you don't keep the cursor al the way to the left, Safari assumes you want to drop the bookmark or folder in another folder.

  • Importing Safari bookmarks into IE on Windows XP Pro

    I was just given an old PC by my mom. I'm using RDC to control it with my iBook (very nifty - I can sit down here in the living room and control that dumb PC upstairs!). Anyway, is there a way to import my Safari bookmarks into Internet Explorer on the PC?
    Thanks,

    Use Safari's File --> Export Bookmarks... command to export your bookmarks to a file. I suggest you save the file to your Desktop so that you can find it easily.
    Copy that file to your Windows computer and then use Internet Explorer's import feature to import your bookmarks.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Can I import Safari bookmarks from my iphone5 into a new iMac?

    My hard drive recently crashed and unfortunately, I didn't have a full backup.  Is it possible to import the Safari bookmarks from my iphone5 into my
    "like new" iMac?

    Configure the same iCloud account on each device and enable Safari syncing.  This will sync boomarks, reading list items, and enable iCloud tabs.

  • How to import Safari bookmarks?

    I have reinstalled my OS. I have my previous system files. How do I import my previous Safari bookmarks into my new installation?
    Thanks.

    I see it's been answered.
    But just in case someone is searching this, you can also use MobileMe, back to Mac option and it works very well.
    I just recently did this step to my MacPro.
    It doesn't have a back-up yet right out of the box.
    My laptop's backup really came in handy to get maybe 5000 bookmarks in less than a second from MobileMe.
    So from the new machine, just access MobileMe, and your set.

  • How can I import safari bookmarks from my iPad or iPhone?

    I recently opened a MobileMe account and set my account to sync with my Safari on my iMac. While I was in Safari, MobileMe synced, I mistakenly allowed it to sync from MobileMe to Safari, not the other way around. So I have lost all my bookmarks. They still exist in my iPhone and iPad, but I want them to go back into my computer. I have tried syncing the devices to my iMac, but to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? Have I missed something?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Open System Preferences/MobileMe: Select the Sync tab. Then click the Advanced tab. Select your Mac and click: *Reset Sync Data*
    If that doesn't sync your Safari bookmarks back to your iPhone or iPad, try MobileMe: Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch sync issues first.
    You can also post in the iPhone Forum to get help there.
    Do you by chance use Firefox? You could export your Bookmarks there to Safari and it would be a much simpler process ??
    Help here also: Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync Issues

  • How can I import Safari bookmarks to my iPhone 6

    I simply want to export Safari bookmarks from my Mac to iPhone 6. I do not want to use cloud. ITunes lets me sync contacts and calendars (along with music, movies and all the other crap I do not want to sync) but does not offer me the option  of syncing safari bookmarks. How the **** do I do it?

    How? You use simply iCloud. That's your only choice.

  • To import bookmarks from Safari, Help says to select Import from the File menu, but there is no Import option there. What then is the first step to import Safari bookmarks?.

    I was reading from the Help menu which does provide the warning that the material may be outdated since it is not supported.

    The Import option has been moved from the File menu to the Library window; that article needs to be revised.
    *''Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks'' to open the Library window
    *In the Library window, ''Import and Backup > Import Data from Another Browser''

  • Safari bookmarks suddenly started deleting themselves today...

    Safari bookmarks suddenly started deleting themselves today - I could only watch while it happened, and took just a matter of seconds. My bookmarks sync across my iPhone and iCloud, so they're gone everywhere - and I don't have my Time Machine working... Any ideas as their restoration..?

    Do you happen to have another browser installed and if so, did you ever import Safari bookmarks to that browser?
    If so, you can export them back to Safari then sync to iCloud.
    And try restarting your Mac and iPhone both.

  • I am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?

    am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?
    I have, on my HP laptop, running XP Pro, using Firefox 4.0, went under bookmarks to show all bookmarks. A window opens up that says library. I then go to import and back up, and I choose export HTML. I then move this file over to my new Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro I also have Firefox 4.0. I go up under bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import HTML. It lets me browse and I find the file on the desktop, I select it then nothing happens. I am not interested in using Safari. I would like to continue using Firefox. However, as an experiment, I followed the same process except on my Apple computer I opened up Safari and tried to import in the Firefox bookmarks. It came up with an error saying the file could not be accessed. I then thought perhaps the file got corrupted, so I went back to my Windows Firefox and re-exported the bookmarks again. Same problem. So, am I creating the bookmarks incorrectly on my Windows machine?
    Thanks,
    Kent

    Probably your Mac cannot understand the Windows html format, please try the following to see if it helps:
    In your PC, export the bookmarks in html as you did in your post. After you have saved it, change the name of the file to “bookmarks.html” and save it again.
    In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted.

  • How can I import old Safari bookmarks from a cache

    I had a bit of data disaster when upgrading to Snow Leopard from Tiger. Lost my home directory, and now lost the backup too aaaaahhh.
    An older backup has what looks like Safari bookmarks in /library/caches/metadata/safari/bookmarks
    The files all end with a ".webbookmark" suffix
    when opened in TextWrangler they appear as below:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>Name</key>
    <string>Spanish Tortilla Recipe</string>
    <key>URL</key>
    <string>http://www.spanish-fiestas.com/recipes/tortilla.htm</string>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    Can I import these into Safari somehow?

    You could try pasting them into the current Bookmarks.plist and save with Textwrangler. Not sure if it will work but that may be all you can do. Run plutil after to check for errors via terminal. Relaunch Safari.
    Current bookmarks:
    User/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

    Try de-selecting Sync Bookmarks under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, select Apply followed by a sync.
    Follow this by re-selecting Sync Bookmarks and another sync.

  • I can't import my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox

    Hi, I'm using MacBook Pro for a month. I have hundreds of bookmarks on Safari. I want to import that bookmarks to Firefox 4.
    Sorry for my bad english

    Press either Alt or F10, that will temporarily display the traditional menus, you can then use "File > Import" to import from the HTML file.
