In Time Capsule, How do you restore safari?

One of my bookmark links is corrupted.  When I go to this website, it closes all of my open Safari pages.  I am trying to restore the original Safari "Popuar" bookmark folder.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi, again.
I'm sorry to hear that you're still experiencing trouble. There are a few steps that you can use to hopefully get things working. It's best to try them one at a time, but if you're in the mood for a flamethrower approach, feel free to go all the way throught the first go:
After opening Safari, click the Safari menu and select "Reset Safari...". From the dialogue box that opens up, select all items and then Reset. (Note: You'll lose your cached passwords and form data, so you'll want to be sure that you have all this information available for your next logon to various websites.)
If that doesn't solve the problem, use the same technique detailed earlier to enter the "~/Library/Safari" folder and delete all the files EXCEPT the Bookmarks.plist. Then move to "~/Library/Preferences" and delete com.apple.Safari.plist, com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist, and com.apple.internetconfig.plist. Don't worry if any of those files are missing, just delete the ones that are there.
That should restore Safari, with the exception of your bookmarks, to the barebones factory defaults. If the problem STILL exists at that point, then somehow something would appear to still be wrong with the Bookmarks.plist. If so, I'd suggest opening up Disk Utility and fixing permissions on the boot drive, then rebooting and holding Cmd-S at the startup tone. This will boot the system to single-user mode, at which point you should enter "fsck -fy" at the command prompt when boot has finished. This will check the integrity of the disk itself and fix any file system anomalies it finds beyond what fixing permissions did earlier.
With any luck at all, this will get you back in the running.

  • My M-Air start up disk if full; I have the a new time capsule, how do I transfer and use the TC as my main storage drive?

    The start-up disk on my MAC AIR is full - I just added a new Time Capsule - how do you transfer your files from the AIR to the TC and set it up to be used as my primary storage disk - not my Mac Air

    Get a second external drive, drag both the iTunes library and the pictures to it, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, and point it to that instance of the library. This also works with iPhoto, but see below.
    A drive or partition needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended in order to hold an iPhoto library or for Time Machine to back it up.

  • How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.

  • I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

    I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

    Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
    Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
    Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
    Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
    Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

  • 2nd generation time capsule: how to limit access to wireless network at night?

    I am using a 2nd generation time capsule and need to limit access to my wireless network at night, is there a setting to do this?  I don't want to physically have to shut down my time capsule/router every night but I need a way to turn off the wireless network at night or during specific hours.  Also open to suggestions on how to accomplish this if Time Capsule does not allow it.    This question is for a 2nd generation 500GB, Model A1302 Time Capsule.  Thank you.

    Unless you physically attach an electronic timer to the Time Capsule, there is no way to tell the Time Capsule when to turn on and off.
    Using the Timed Access settings in AirPort Utility, it is possible to define the hours each day that wireless devices will be allowed to  connect to the network.
    For example, you might set the Time Capsule to not allow wireless access between Midnight and 8 AM each day. Devices would be able to connect at other times.
    But, Timed Access will not physically power the Time Capsule "on" and "off".

  • Using RMAN, how do you restore from an old backup file?

    HI,
    I use Oracle 9i on Solaris.
    I'm currently doing incremental level 0 hot backups every night using RMAN in NOCATALOG mode. The controlfile is backed up with the database. I back it up to a file (e.g. "level0_20041225.dmp"). After I back it up, it's backed up to tape using Veritas. Before doing a backup, I delete the old one first.
    I need to restore a copy of the database backup that was taken a month ago. This file is on tape. How do I go about it using RMAN? The documentation is not too clear as it talks more about Restoring the control file and the latest copy of the database.
    How do you restore an old copy of the database from a database file?
    Pls advise
    Thanks

    You can recover to the last committed transaction,
    provided you have the current controlfile, archived
    logs since the backup and the current online logs.
    Here's the procedure in a nutshell:
    a) Restore datafiles from tape.
    b) Recover database using restored files + current
    controlfiles and archived/online logs. RMAN will prompt
    you for the logs it needs for recovery.
    You can also perform this type of recovery using a
    backup controlfile. In this case you would still need
    all logs as above. After recovery, you would have to
    open the database with RESETLOGS because you are using
    a backup controlfile.
    If you don't want/need to recover up to the last
    committed transaction, you use a backup controlfile and
    perform incomplete recovery (time or change based). This
    simply means that you stop the application of redo at
    the time or SCN of your choice.
    Most of the scenarios of interest are documented in
    the following book:

  • How can i restore safari web browser on my mac book pro?

    how can i restore safari web browser on my mac book pro?

    Backup your system/data then start up holding down Command + R and select to reinstall your OS X. You have not mentioned which OS X you are using. If you have somehow deleted the Safari App for some reason, you need to reinstall the OS X to reinstall Safari properly. You should not lose any data, but if you do, then that is what the backup is for.
