Lost my bookmarks within Safari

Seem to have lost all my bookmarks in Safari. How can I get them back?

If you have a Time Machine backup, this should solve your problem:

  • Ive lost my bookmarks on safari

    ive lost my bookmarks on the home page of my safari, how do i get them back on ?

    Two or more users are synchronizing Safari with iCloud while signed in with the same Apple ID. At least one should sign out of iCloud in its preference pane and sign in with a different ID. If you want to keep sharing the same ID, uncheck the box marked Safari in the preference pane.

  • I just lost my bookmarks in safari 5

    I just noticed my bookmark bar was blank and many of my bookmarks have disappeared. I restarted both Safari and then my computer, but the bookmarks are gone. I still have them on my iPad. How do I get them back?

    If you have Time Machine activated, you can go to ~/Library/Safari and restore an older version of Bookmarks.plist.

  • I lost my bookmarks in safari on my iMac after I deleted them on my iPad.  Can I get them back on my iMac?

    I noticed my iPad and iMac synced Safari bookmark lists after an upgrde to my iPad OS.  I deleted some of the bookmark folders off my iPad, but now they are gone from my iMac Safari as well.  Any way I can restore them?  I looked at earlier posts, but could not find the bookmarks.plist file to back up from Time Machine.  Any ideas?

    Hello:
    Safari bookmarks are in your home folder (~).  ~library>safari.  If you have not found the library folder, do this:
    from the Finder>Go while holding the option key down.

  • Lost bookmarks after Safari crashed

    I just realized I lost all bookmarks when Safari crashed. When it crashed, I did the test account and Safari worked there. Then went back to my account and dragged the cookies file out, it worked again. I didn't think that would have affected the bookmarks. Are my bookmarks somewhere to be found? Thanks, Vicki

    Hello Vicki,
    Did you trash the cookie.plist file & empty the trash if you did not empty it check the trash bin ? Moving the cookies.plist file out of the Cookies folder should not , I am sure it did not affect the bookmarks, something else must of happened.
    Are you sure it was not the bookmark.plist file. Go to Home/~Library/Safari is there a Bookmarks.plist file there ?
    Please let us know.

  • Why after updating ipad to iOS6 my bookmarks in safari are gone?

    Hi All,
    I've updated my iPad 2 to iOS6 and think that was a very big mistake. I now have problem accessing my bookmarks within safari. And also noticed some applications keep crushing like iBooks, Facebook, gmail and soon. Do you have the same problem? If so what is the solution as I don't fancy turning on and off my iPad every time something goes wrong. Do you know when new operating system will be available?
    Thanks,
    Maya CMYK

    Are you syncing bookmarks through iCloud? If so, have you deeleted them from another connected device?

  • Can't create new bookmarks in safari. Lost all my existing book marks

    Lost all bookmarks, cannot create new ones.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Quit Safari.
    Select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the folder open.
    Relaunch Safari. It will open with the default set of bookmarks. Delete them all. Select
              File ▹ Import from... (or Import Bookmarks...)
    from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Arrange the bookmarks as you wish.
    If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post your results.

  • Lost bookmarks in Safari

    For some reason I have lost all the bookmarks in Safari. I have tried to restore Safari from TimeMachine but I still don't get the bookmarks. Are these stored somewhere that I can retrieve them? If so how?

    You've probably tried it but . . .
    Right click on Find in the Dock and select bookmarks ?

  • I lost my bookmarks and history when I stop safari

    Hello everyone
    I lost my bookmarks and history when I stop safari and start it again !
    I reset safari and remove it and redownload it again
    But still the problem
    Please ! HELP ME !
    My device ( imac - OS X 10.9.4)
    Safari 7.0.5
    * the problem existed since I purchase my imac

    Back up all data.
    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 nouchg,nouappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) 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:
    res
    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.

  • Writing an email from within safari is typically lost after app task switch in iOS 7

    Safari refreshes a page too much after a task switch when writing emails "within" safari.
    If you forward a page to your friend and also want to include a pic and task switch to Photos using the home button. After you pick your pic and task switch back to safari, safari now usually refreshes and you lose your email that you've spent time writing.

  • New iPhone 6. Windows 8 desktop. Running Firefox browser as my default. Would like to sync my Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone 6.

    New iPhone 6. This s my first iPhone. Windows 8 laptop. Running Mozilla Firefox browser as my default. Would like to sync my Firefox Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone 6.
    It would be nice if Firefox was available on the iPhone, but apparently it is not.
    If I could do a direct sync of Bookmarks between Firefox on a W8 machine and the iPhone, that would be nice.
    Assuming I can't, I have installed Safari of my W8 laptop,
    I exported my Bookmarks from Firefox, and then imported them in Safari.
    First question:
    Safari shows my Bookmarks in a way that is different from Firefox. It shows all the folders fown the left side of the window. If I want to see a saved bookmark within one of the folders, I have to click on the folder name and then the contents are shown in a separate panel off to the right. Can I get all Bookmark folders to open up vertically, that is, down the left side and under the folder name as they do in Firefox?
    Second question:
    How do I sync the bookmarks so that all hoes-based bookmarks are downloaded to my iPhone. An articel I read speaks of connecting my iPhone to the laptop. I have no idea of how to do that.
    Thank you for any help. Not sure what Community to post this in. Sorry. Newbie new to A

    I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
    I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
    Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
    I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
    Thank you

  • Bookmark function not working at all; lost all bookmarks and can't recover

    I have lost all bookmark function, all bookmarks, and have tried all of the suggested tips for recovering them. I found the "profile" file within Help->Troubleshooting Info.->Application Basics-> but there's no information about what to do with it once you find it. It's an application apparently. I have quit everything running, restarted, etc. Nothing is working. Please help.

    Thanks I've checked out the manual.
    Under the "Data Transfer" menu there are two options "Server sync" and "PC synchronisation".
    Neither are mentioned at all in the user guide!
    I assume it's the latter I'm interested in, and all it does is give an option for a user name and password.
    I've set a user name and password, but I'm not sure what they're for, there seems to be no option in PC Suite to put them in.
    Any other guidance much appreciated!
