Mavericks 10.9.5: Original Safari Bookmarks Folder Missing: Need it Back

Hi: Safari "comes with" its own stylized versions of the "Bookmarks Menu" and "Favorites Bar" folders. Long story--I accidentally deleted the Bookmarks Menu folder. Not a problem I thought; so I just created my own. However, without getting into detail, I find that I need the original-type Bookmarks Menu folder back. Do you have any idea how to get Mavericks/Safari to generate one? Thanks.

No ideas? Really?

Moving Large Safari Bookmarks Folder

Anyone else with this problem.
Using Safari on Mavericks. Trying to use Safari > Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks to move a large folder to new location in my Bookmarks Menu folder. I don't have a problem moving smallish folders. But, when I try to move the large folder (i.e., drag and drop), Safari fails and quits respoding (force quit becomes necessary) if I try to move it anywhere except the top of my Bookmarks Menu folder or into another folder therein. Any solutions/thoughts?
I am not interested in spliting the folder. I can handle things more or less successfully by moving the folder out of my Bookmarks Menu folder. But, I don't like this solution.

I dont see an Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari folder in my windows drive.
I think I may have meant to say the bookmarks are being placed on my Dell pc

Need to Regenerate Original-Style Safari Bookmarks Folder

Hi: Safari "comes with" its own stylized versions of the "Bookmarks Menu" and "Favorites Bar" folders. Long story--I accidentally deleted the Bookmarks Menu folder.

Do you have any idea how to get Mavericks/Safari to generate one? Thanks.

Well, duh! I never thought to do so and to see if the missing folder would be available for storage of the bookmark. It was. Now I think I can solve the rest of my whole problem--which I didn't mention earlier. I'll post back if I have additional problems. Thank you very much.

Safari bookmarks are missing when ipad mini updated to ios 8.0

Safari book marks missing when ipad updated to ios 8.0

Sure, no problem.
Before the IOS 8 update, Apple's offsite file storage system for iWork was called "iCloud". I had dozens of Numbers files stored on this system.
Under the new IOS/Yosemite regime, the offsite file storage system for iWork (and now all kinds of other files, too) is called "iCloud Drive".
When I upgraded my iPad Mini to IOS 8, I selected "Upgrade to iCloud Drive" instead of "Not Now" because I accepted the fact that I would only be able to access my iWork documents on my Mini and the iCloud web interface, but NOT my Macbook (running Mavericks).
But now it looks like my Numbers files were not migrated for some reason. They are not available on my iPad Mini or the iCloud browser interface.
I called my wife at home to have her boot up the MacBook and try to access a few important Numbers files. She was able to open them and save a copy of each of them to the Macbook's local hard drive. So I guess my most urgent problem has been contained (I think I may have access to my Numbers files on my laptop), but it is still an open question why all my Pages files migrated from (the old) "iCloud" to (the new) "iCloud Drive" and my Numbers files didn't.
Clear as mud?

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.

Safari Bookmarks Searchbar - missing

Mmmmmm...... I know the Safari search bar is supposed to be between the icons and 'Favorites Bar', but it certainly isn't on my system.
I'm running Mavericks 10.9 and Safari 7.0 (9537.71). Re another discussion thread on the same topic (25 Oct 13)... there is no visible file menu option of 'Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks'.
Any clues for how I can get the Search Bar to display?

Carolyn, please look closely at the image in my original post. Yes, I know it's supposed to be there (like the image below), but it isn't ...
Clicking on 'Favorites Bar' merely expends the list of bookmarks (as it should). Still no Search Bar.

I updated to Firefox 4 and it will not work so I can not get on line and it replaced the old firefox so I also lost all my bookmarks. I need them back. How do I get them?

I have a Mc g5 with the 10.4.11 operating system. Your site is my home page and it kept bugging me to update to the firefox 4. So I did now when I try to get on it tells me that that "I can not open this application because it is not supported on this system". It replaced the old firefox that I had so I can not open that. I have no way to get to my book marks and I need them. Let me know how to get back to my old firefox and book marks.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Transfer Safari bookmarks to new MacBook Pro

I just got a new MB Pro yesterday and would like to transfer my bookmarks from my older SR MB. So I "exported" them to a jump drive and then transferred that file "Safari Bookmarks.html" to my new desktop. I then went into Safari and tried the "import" option. However, I get an message that says "can not import bookmarks. Unable to read any bookmarks in Safari Bookmarks.html.
I don't know why this process can't be simpler? I've had the same problems with Windows Bookmarks (Favorites) for years now. I did manage to drag the entire Safari Bookmarks folder on to the Bookmarks Bar, but all these bookmarks are in sub-folders under "Safari Bookmarks.html".

Move the file ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist over in the Finder, where ~ is the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon.
First of all, when I export my bookmarks, the produced is called "safari bookmarks.html". Moving this file as per the about directions did not make Safari use the new bookmark list. I then tried renaming the file to bookmarks.PLIST and that didn't help either. I must be doing something wrong. Is it necessary to reboot for the change to take effect?

Time Machine - Safari Bookmarks

Hello,
I accidentally deleted a Safari bookmarks folder, and lost a large amount of bookmarks with it. I have a relatively recent Time Machine backup and I restored the bookmarks.plist onto my desktop. If I replace the current bookmarks.plist file in my Safari folder with the restored one, will I loose all of the bookmarks I created since my last back-up?

Yes.
Depending on how many you've added, you might want to move them to the sidebar in the Edit Bookmarks panel before restoring the old ones.
Then you can selectively move them back.

TS4001 How can I share Safari bookmarks between two iCloud accounts using IOS 7 and Mavericks?

Before iOS 7 and Mavericks, we were able to share Safari bookmarks between all of our devices. My wife had the primary iCloud account which was setup to share bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders. A secondary iCloud account was setup on my phone for only my email. Each phone had our private email accounts segregated and we shared all the bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders. When I saved a bookmark on my phone, I could see it later on our iMac or iPad. Now only my wife can sync bookmarks between her phone and the iMac or iPad. This *****!! This worked beautifully before we upgraded to the latest versions of OS & iOS. Is there a work around or a new way to set things up? I don't want to be stuck reading Safari on my phone when I have a 24" iMac sitting in the living room. I don't want to see all of my wife's email on my phone either. Do we need three iCloud accounts now? One main for sharing and two separate accounts for only email? Need help! Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

David,
Thanks for the reply. That's how I set it up originally. Although the new iOS 7 update lost some functionality. I found the following on the TUAW website. The Safari Bookmarks and Find My Phone options have been removed from the secondary iCloud accounts options. This is the problem. Everything worked great before we updated. I guess "new way" consolidates the iCloud accounts better with Maverick? Now I will have extra documents on my phone that I don't need. We will both have to share the same iCloud storage and backup space too. Have to try it out and see how it works. Thanks.

Safari bookmarks sort in mavericks

i have a lot of bookmarks and i am trying to search google for a solution to what seems to be a new problem in mavericks.
i am keeping all my bookmarks in Folders in the Favorites Bar - basically so i can see them in the favorites bar easy and access them really quickly. i find this really very easy. in the past i think i used to get into the sidebar and sort my contacts by dragging and dropping them.
for instance if i left a couple of bookmarks /outside/ of a folder and it is sitting in the Favorites Bar because i didn't sort it into a folder i would just get into the old Show Bookmarks UI and drag and drop them.
now (i think) there is a new UI which is basically shown in the sidebar? and hitting a folder opens the folder so that all the bookmarks are shown and selecting the folder again closes it? also, the folders seem sort of big with large-ish font.
anyway, now when i have to drag a bookmark it is a real pain because i have to drag it past a bunch of folders and i have to get this UI to scroll all the way to the folder i need to drag it into and it seems much harder to sort in this manner than it used to be.
is there an easier way to do this? can anyone help me with suggestions?
thanks

Click “Bookmarks” in the Safari menu bar and select “Edit Bookmarks”.
From the sidebar drag the folder to be sorted on to the desktop to the left of sidebar.
The folder will go to the top right corner of the desktop.
Drag the folder back to right side bookmarks pane and drop it when you see a green
plus sign.
Drag the folder to the sidebar.
Now you will have two folders with identical name in the sidebar.
Keep the sorted one, right click and delete the other.
Right click folder on the desktop and select "Move to Trash".

How do I search for a bookmark folder by name in Safari?

How do I search for a particular bookmark folder in Mac Safari 7.06? Since there seems to be no automated way to sort the folders (as in other browsers), in a long list of folders, a particular one can be hard to spot. Yes yes, very similar to a previous question of mine. -jan

Click "Help" menu in the Safari menu bar and enter the folder name in the search box.

A week or so ago I upgraded some apple software and now Safari drops my news bookmarks folder. I can restore it from Time Machine but it will not stay in place. Suggestions?

My iMac, running 10.10.3 seems to have an interesting issue. Since the last round of apple updates[ including photos 1.0]safari has been dropping my "News" bookmarks folder. It disappears on restart or when trying to add a bookmark to any folder. I am able to restore it with time machine and it will stay in place until all of a sudden .I notice it is once again gone. Restore and its back. Quite a pain in the butt. Any suggestions on a more permanent fix would be appreciated.

Thanks, wife has iPad on holiday so I could not check it. iCloud occurred to me but I am fairly new to it as prior to iPad we had no need of it. Thanks again Linc, I've tried it a couple of times this afternoon and it seems to be sticking around. Hugh

Safari 5.1 in iMac OS X 10.6.8.Adding Bookmarks to "unsorted Bookmarks" folder puts them in a black hole. I can't find the "UB" folder. Where is it? Should I add it to the folder list somewhere on the left pane? OR? Help, please!

It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
If the problem persits, please report back here.
