No webpage icons in bookmarks in Safari 5

Suddently there are no longer any webpage specific icons in my bookmarks - only the blue dots. I have not changed any settings that I know of.

Hi,
Try emptying the Safari cache.
Command + Option + E
If that doesn't help, quit Safari. Command + Q. Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Safari folder.
Move the WebpageIcons.db file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.

How do you delete icons from bookmark in Safari

just got an iPad mini my first apple product I mistakenly saved some links to bookmark instead of favorites. They only show up in book marks and not in favorites. How do I get rid of them. I am able to delete the icons when they are also in favorites but am stumped what to do when they are not part of favorites HELP

Holding down the Command key and drag the iCons out.

Is there a way to make the bookmarks in Safari icons as opposed to text?

Was just wondering if there was a way to replace the text on the bookmarks bar with just an icon representing the page, as I would like to fit more bookmarks on and prefer the look overall

You can try searching for a Safari third party extension or plug-n that does this.
Most folks prefer the name of the bookmark opposed to the webpage icon considering most users have hundreds of bookmarks on the bar.

IOS Safari missing webpage icons

Something that has annoyed me since iOS 7 launched (both iPad and iPhone) is that the Safari "new tab" page, which shows icons for favorite bookmarks, shows only generic gray or colored icons with the safari logo for certain websites rather than the sites' favicons. Is there a way to force iPad and iPhone to load the favicon for the bookmarks? Or am I stuck with looking at the gray icons?

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Appearance tab.
Tick the box next to: Display images when the page opens
All of those icons are gone either when loading a website (i.e. if I go to google's homepage, the "G" is missing in the URL bar) and all of the icons are missing from my bookmarks.
Webpage icons can get corrupted.
Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
The tilde "~" character represents your home folder.
Relaunch Safari.

No synch choice in safari. So how do I synch my bookmarks in safari to firefox when the synch icon firefox says you have to use does not exist in safari.

no synch choice in safari. So how do I synch my bookmarks in safari to firefox when the synch icon firefox says you have to use does not exist in safari?
I cannot set up synch with bookmarks in safari since there is no synch icon in preferences in safari.

This is crazy. The directions on firefox keep telling you to go to links that do not exist to import bookmarks from safari.
For example, it says;
Firefox imports Safari settings automatically. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too.
BUT THERE IS NO IMPORT LINK UNDER FILES ON FIREFOX!
Then I tried to add a device. I got the code but the continue link was not on ever. I tried it over and over and it does not work.
WHO MAKES THIS SYSTEM??? How can something that should be so simple be so impossible, and why does Firefox direct you to links that do not exist or, if they exist, do not work!
Thanks,

Cannot access bookmarks using Safari on I-Phone

I am suddenly unable to access bookmarks using Safari on my I-Phone. When I press the Bookmarks icon in the toolbar at the bottom, it doesn't come up with my bookmarks but shows another toolbar instead with a single button on the left hand side called "Edit". Bookmarks are all there and accessible when using Safari on my computer and have been imported to my I-Phone. The "Send webpage as URL" icon also doesn't do anything, neither does the "Home" icon. "previous" and "Next" icons do work.

Turning off wouldn't help because settings would remain even after you restarted. So contact your email provider and them for the correct settings.

Bookmarks in Safari

When I re-order bookmarks in Safari under the edit function, the new positions don't save when I select done. Surely there is a way to personalise the order of bookmarks?

Ask your I.T. guy if he backed up your data before upgrading?
Ask your I.T. guy if he might have renamed or moved the home folder, or its library folder. This article discusses what to do if that was done:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854
Ask your I.T. guy if he Archive and Installed without saving user and network preferences? The Previous System folder, contains the Users folder from such an install.
Typically Safari bookmarks are stored in Users -> yourname -> Library -> Safari.
Ask your I.T. guy if he repaired permissions before and after installation.
Check the Spotlight menu to see if it is still indexing or just shows a search field and magnifying glass icon. When Spotlight is indexing some aspects of the file system may remain invisible until it is finished.

Why is there favorites and bookmarks in Safari?

What is the difference between adding a web site as a Favorite vs Bookmark in Safari on my iPhone? Why is there both and when do I use "bookmark" vs "favorite"?

I'm not sure about the operation of bookmarks on Safari, but in Internet Explorer, there is a specific category in Bookmarks called the Favorites Bar. That is what shows up when you open Safari the first time on the phone. If you sync your bookmarks from the computer to the phone, then when you tap on the bookmarks icon on the bottom of the screen, you will see your entire bookmarks list from the computer. You can select any of your bookmarks from there. You also have the option to save a particular website to the homepage of the phone. The only problem with that versus using the bookmarks is the clutter on the homepage that would result.

Remove bookmark in safari

I have a bookmarked a reputable company for easy access.
Log-in icon, easy and secure, no problems.
Weeks ago, I entered a wrong password, and a page stating "error" appeared. log-in was successful when reset and again, secure, and safe.
Now this page is still appearing any time I press the log-in button to access the secure logging in page, when I go to bookmark.
OK, I removed the whole bookmark from safari, accessed the general web site of the company, and whenever I try to access the log-in page, (not even bookmarked!) I immediately get the same error page!, again and again, without even entering any data or user name or attempted password.
This "error" page must have been stored somewhere on my MBA.
How can I remove this and start a fresh bookmark?

Might be a cookie or cache causing this..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Import and Backup is the third (last) button on the toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) that looks like a star.<br />
Other platforms show the text label, but on Mac you only see toolbar icons.

Unable to save a Bookmark in Safari

I try to add a bookmark in Safari by choosing a location; execute the command and no bookmark gets added.
This started when I upgraded to Mavericks. I must use a different browser.

Yes, the good old days, when you also had a chance to edit the sloppy descriptions that some webpage designers use to define their webpages. Such as, for instance, descriptions having absolutely nothing to indicate the name of the company whose page you're trying to bookmark.
Command-D does work, but I agree with the OP: the old way was better, and I'd like to disable the reading list. I never use it. I bookmark things in an organized fashion, and the new Safari seems to do everything it can to get in the way of doing so.
