Is there a way to reorganize bookmarks?

I have way too many Safari bookmarks including many redundancies.  I need to do a wholesale reorganization of my Safari bookmarks. 
I recently started using Dragon Drop which brilliantly facilitates moving Finder files and folders around tremendously, espcially since I started using a trackpad and find it least useful for any dragging chores.  But I just discivered that while Dragon Drop can be used for moving bookmarks, it only moves copies and leaves the original where it started, which is less than helpful in expediting the reorganization task. 
But the task facing my Bookmarks reorganization is closest to a reorganization of my finder. 
Wait a second!  I just found that I can have two bookmarks windows open at the same time on two different Safari screens on my two-screen desktop setup and drag and drop between the two screens as a way to facilitate bookmark reorganizaton.  OK.  That helps a lot. 
Any other ideas for facilitating the wholesale reorganization of Safari Bookmarks would be greatly appreciated.

hi steve,
i also find that safari's bookmarks could have more features allowing easier management of large quantities of urls. tags, key words, notes, extracts, date, etc. could be added to the bookmark fields and this metadata could help us sort our urls in spotlight, for example.
in the meantime, here's how i sort things out :
- i use safari's bookmarks when i am on my iOS devices
- sync them with icloud
- export them when i am on my computer
- import them in URL Manager Pro
unfortunately, i need to play with the imported bookmarks again, since they have no metadata. i haven't found a better method yet, for my needs anyway. there's always google bookmarks, delicious and other cloud based systems, but it doesn't solve the iOS management issue.
best

  • Is there a way to have bookmark folders automatically collapsed in Safari when adding bookmarks?  This would be a huge convenience in navigating to the right folder w/o having to deal with an eye chart of a folder tree.

    Myself as well...
    I think it is a tremendous problem. Im my case it is extremelly important to manage, organize and sort favorites.
    I am new to Mac and safari... and I spent a lot of time researching a solution for that thinking it was me that couldnt find this option. I like to use safari because of the "gestures". This is great. But when it comes to favorites, safari is a nightmare!!!
    Also, I use to like the option in Firefox that we can have the leftside bar with the favorites and navigate to the links in the right. In safari the links are open in the full page. And then we need to come back to the favorite everytime.
    I would be glad if someone could come out with good solution or suggestions how to deal with it in fafari.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to sync bookmarks in Firefox with bookmarks in Safari?

    Is there a way to sync bookmarks in Firefox with bookmarks in Safari?

    There's always a catch
    Check the two sites I mentioned - you should be able to specify the 'freeware' category when performing/narrowing down your search.

  • Is there a way to transfer bookmarks from one Mac to another

    Is there a way to transfer Safari bookmarks from from my desktop 10.41 to my laptop Leopard 10.6
    thanks Len

    On the old computer, choose Go to Folder from the Finder’s Go menu, provide ~/Library/Safari/ as the path, and move the Bookmarks file to the corresponding location on the new one.

  • Is there any way to restore bookmarks with sync?

    I lost my firefox, but shortly before i clicked the "sync now" thing. I reinstalled it, but now i can't get any of my bookmarks. Is there any way to restore the information?
    I backed up the old firefox file, but replacing it does nothing.

  • Is there a way to access Bookmarks with 1 mouse click?

    Running XP, Firefox 4.0.1. I used to be able to open my bookmarks with one mouse click. Now I click on the icon, move the mouse down to "from internet explorer", then to the folder, and finally to the site shortcut. Is there a way to eliminate the extra steps?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    You can open the Bookmarks in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > Bookmarks (Ctrl+B)
    You can find toolbar buttons to open the bookmarks (star) and the history (clock) in the sidebar in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar.<br />
    Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
    One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.<br />
    The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.<br />
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"<br />
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

  • Any idea when a plugin will be available for the google toolbar? Also, until there is a plugin available, is there a way to import bookmarks from google toolbar on previous version of firefox?

    Any idea when a google toolbar plugin may be available? Until then, is there a way to import my bookmarks from google toolbar from the previous version of firefox? If not, can I go back to the previous version of firefox until the plugin is added?

    It will be baked into iOS 6 when it's released this fall.

    It's called "Do Not Disturb".
    3rd party apps don't have access to the functions necessary to do this.

  • Is there any way to recover bookmarks?

    My daughter deleted my son's bookmark file by mistake. He does not remember the names of all the bookmarks he had. Is there any way to recover the file? Thanks!

    It's probably too late to mention this, but the bookmarks could likely be retrieved if you had a recent backup of your Mac's files. (Of course, any sites bookmarked after that backup wouldn't be in the backup.) You would just need to retrieve the bookmarks.html file from the backup.
    If you don't regularly or often backup, and this and other things like this are common enough to warrant it, it might be worth considering at least a very simple daily or weekly backup of user files, maybe just some important Application Support folders and the Documents folder, for example. (I do a daily incremental backup of a subset of work files to CDs, using the Backup program Apple includes with .Mac, because someone I work with is apt to mess up some of the online files we both work on. ;-))

  • Is there a way to alphabetize bookmarks?

    Sorry, I'm a little new at this...
    Is there a way for me to alphabetize my bookmarks in Safari?
    God bless and toodle-oo,
    S.A.

    Hi Coop,
    An welcome to the Apple discussion Forum for users to users.
    There is another way to sort the bookmarks without having to download anything. Check out the following site:
    Here is a other one, an faster one ...
    Did that a view times, but it's to complicated for some who is NEW to Mac like the guy who started this tread.
    A faster way an certainly a saver way to sort Bookmark in Safari is to export them to Fire Fox, alphabetize the bookmark an import them back into Safari. By doing it this way ALL the Bookmarks are from A to Z in one time, instate dragging folder to the Desktop an back in to the Bookmarks menu bar.

  • Is there any way to reorganize purchased tv shows?

    Under Purchased: TV Shows - There is a "Recent" Option and an "All TV Shows" option and yet both are organized by most recent first.  Is there a way to have "All TV Shows" alphbetical?  Under Purchased Movies that is how they are organized, so why not TV Shows?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Organising movies and TV shows is much less intuitive on the Apple TV 2 than it was on the Apple TV. TV shows argue organised alphabetically though, however you can't reorganise tihem manually.

  • Is there a way to keep Bookmark Order from changing as part of sync?

    Since I added Aurora on my tablet and my phone, and set up sync, apparently those bookmarks toolbar are in a different order than my ones on my desktop. Every time I start my desktop versions, the toolbars are in some random order (the most visited all the way to the right, list order changed). Now I generally put my items in order of use, and not in alphabetical. Is there anyway that I make it so that my sync with my mobile devices will not adjust the order of my bookmark sync?

    Sorry, this is apparently a bug in Firefox Aurora for Android. I'll make sure the developers know about it and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

  • Is there easy way to print bookmarks Acrobat Pro 9.5

    Is there an easy way to print the bookmarks of an Acrobat file using Acrobat Pro 9.5?
    Is there an easy way to expand all headings?
    Thank you

    Here is something you can try:
    With your file open, and assuming it has all the bookmarks setup:
    Simply export to HTML (File > Export > HTML > I picked HTML 3.2). That should create an HTML file.
    Open the new HTML file and the first thing you should see is a list of all the bookmarks!!!
    This worked for me (I have Adobe 9). Let me know if it works for you.
    P.S. After copying the list, I pasted in Word and changed the bullets to numbers by right clicking one of the bullets and selecting Numbering!

  • Is there a way to convert bookmarks from opening as Fit Width size to Fit Page without doing each one individually?

    I have a document that has a number of bookmarks already in it.  I cannot figure out how to change their behavior when clicking on them unless I change each one one at a time.  There are 822 pages and at least that many bookmarks.  Any way to tell Acrobat to make them all open in a fit page view instead of the Fit Width they are in now?  Save me a ton of time.  Thanks for any help.  Using Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac...standalone application...not in the cloud.
    Bill

    Hi William,
    You can go to View> Zoom> Fit Width and the setting will be applied to the complete pdf.

  • Is there a way to restore bookmarks only without a sync key?

    I have been using Firefox Sync primarily to backup my bookmarks.
    About an hour ago my computer reverted itself and all of my programs back to their default settings. I've lost quite a bit of data due to this.
    I was planning to restore my Firefox browser settings via Sync, however I have lost access to the Sync key as this the only computer I have used my account on.
    I was wondering if there was a way to restore the bookmarks only?
    While I have previous backups of some of them, there are many recent additions that I have not had the chance to backup yet. (Such as a 100+ tab session I was working through)

    Use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer" in Windows or Finder on a Mac, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
    Disk Use.
    If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
