Lost favorites in safari

I have been continually losing my Favorites in Safari.  They just seem to disappear every so often.  They were all there yesterday and today they are gone.  Any help would be appreciated.

It is a guess, but I suspect that syncing through iCloud is somehow clearing your favorites.
I would go to system preferences>icloud and uncheck safari. Then I would go to system preferences>internet accounts and highlight iCloud and uncheck safari (the order may need to be reversed.
This would, at least, remove a possible variable from the problem.
The bookmarks are stored in your home folder (~). ~library>safari> bookmarks.plist.

  • Hi apple user. I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Tried hold home button with sleep button but it doesn't get back my safari bookmarks. I also have reset without erasing my iPad data but still doesn't work. Help me get back my safari iPad bookmarks.

    Hi, I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Have tried reset without erasing data and hold home and sleep button together but when go to safari all safari bookmarks still lost. Is there any case help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks ? Currently my safari is hanged, can't surf webs or anything. I saw the safari tab on iCloud is on, but I don't know using iCloud. Please help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks. I have contact Apple but could not set chat session. I have my Apple ID registered same with iCloud, also same during the time I have all iPad safari bookmarks lost. My iPad never synced on computer since I bought it with set at local store. Please help me get my iPad safari bookmarks back, thanks.

    Hi, I quitted Safari and press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously unti the Ipad turn off and on with the logo Apple appears but it has hanged on and fixed to the point. I do it again hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously and the Ipad turn off and on again with the Apple logo but it still is hanged on the same point. I have do it a few more time, it still hanged to the same point for few hours with no change (like picture):
    I think my Ipad is fault now. I guess I must connect it to the computer with itune, or something. So my case is this: at the moment everytime I hold the Home and Sleep buttons the Ipad always off and reappear with the Apple logo and be hanged on (like the pic), and I need restoring my Ipad Safari bookmarks... so I guess I need using Itune or something to get back the Ipad then using Icloud or blah. Please guide me for the step, Im not sure if connect to PC, if any that my Ipad data would lost, or is there anyway that I also can get back Ipad Safari Bookmarks after connecting to PC, also the how using Icloud. There is no Apple store or service store in my country so I think I must do it my self. Feel free to share your guide, thanks.

  • Yesterday while on WiFi at an international airport, I suddenly lost content in Safari and a window popped up that suggested that someone was trying to spoof setup.iCloud. Do I need to be concerned about malware or other residual problems.

    Yesterday while on WiFi at an international airport, I suddenly lost content in Safari. A window popup suggested that someone was trying to spoof setup.iCloud. After arriving home to my own network, Safari still was acting strange. Do I need to be concerned with possible malware or other destructive software remaining on my iPad?

  • I have lost access to Safari on my imac

    I have done something and have now lost access to Safari.  I get the error message: You can't open the application Safari because it may be damaged or incomplete.  How can I reinstall Safari? Can you help?

    If you're trying to open a copy of Safari on your Desktop or anywhere else other than the Applications folder, delete the copy and use the one in the Applications folder. Otherwise, do as follows.
    Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • My IPhone 4S has lost connection to Safari web browser

    My IPhone 4S has lost connection to Safari web browser

    You will be able to track the phone as long as it is on and connected to a network (cel or Wifi). If you can't eventually recover the phone, you should erase it remotely via Find my iPhone.  Be aware that once you erase it, you will not be able to track it.
    When you locked the phone, what you did was put a 4 digit passcode. That is not foolproof but safe for a time.
    Has the phone moved/changed locations recently? If not, it ***could*** be that it is lost and not stolen. A smart thief would have probably erased the phone by now.

  • Favorites in safari

    I'm confused about favorites in Safari.  When I click on the + it brings up a favorites tab, but I don't see how to add to the list, or delete items from the list.  Thanks for your help.  -Scott

    Adds the webpage to your reading list, not your favorites. You can subsequently remove things from your reading list by hovering over top right corner of the saved page and clicking the little "x":
    You can manipulate bookmarks from the sidebar by right clicking (or option + clicking) the bookmark and modifying as needed.
    Sorry, disregard. I was writing this in reference to a Mac, not an iOS device.

  • Lost Network Connection | Safari & iMail | AppleTalk & TCP/IP O.K.

    Lost Network Connection | Safari & iMail | AppleTalk & TCP/IP O.K.
    Well ... all of a sudden my iMail and Safari will not connect to the internet.
    I can see other Macs on the network.
    I can use the same iMail account settings on other Mac's O.K. and other Mac's can browse the internet O.K.
    So it's a sudden local Mac problem, not a network or SMTP thing.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Has Safari or iMail suddenly broken and one effects the other?

    Turns out the 'node' on the hub had failed completely, ethernet cable was OK.

  • Convert ie favorites to safari 7 bookmarks

    I'm on a new MacBook Pro, and love it.
    I want to know how to convert the .url files which were IE 9 Favorites to Safari 7 Bookmarks. Import doesn't work.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Export your IE bookmarks to a USB thumb drive then connect the thumb drive to your Mac. The USB icon should appear on the desktop.
    Launch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click File > Import Bookmarks then navigate to the USB drive.
    If the USB drive does not appear on the desktop, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click File > Preferences then select the General tab.
    Select:  External disks
    Congrats on your new MacBook Pro!
