Organizing Bookmarks in Safari

I want to alphabetize my bookmarks but I can't figure out how to do this.

To organize the bookmarks in the menu, choose Show All Bookmarks from the Bookmarks menu, then click Bookmarks Menu. Drag items up or down to arrange them. Select an item and press Delete to remove it.
To arrange folders or bookmarks in a collection, select the collection, then drag the icons up or down.

Organizing Bookmarks Alphabetically in Safari.

Does any one know when they will add this feature to Safari?
PS: I hope this question isn't redundant!

Hello
First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.
NO, this is not announced in the new OSX Tiger.
You can alphabetically your bookmarks in Safari manual or using Bookdog to do this for you Bookdog
Also you can drag the Bookmark folders to the desktop an open this folder in the Finder. Finder in List view. Drag the Bookmark folder back to the Bookmark menu bar in Safari.
Let me know if so ...

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.

Is there a way to get my bookmarks in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home?

i browse around in Safari on my iPhone, and bookmark things.
is there a way to export / sync / transfer these bookmarks i made in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home on my iPhone?
or into Firefox on my Mac (because then it would just sync with my iPhone Firefox Home)?

Hi teethandbones,
There may be a simpler way to do it, but I know you can set your iPhone/iPad to syncronize bookmarks with Safari on your Mac. You could do that first and then import the bookmarks from Safari into Firefox.
Just a thought!

Is there any way to create a bookmark in safari that automatically creates itself for every user/account that logs into the computer?

I am currently trying to add in a bookmark to Safari that will be automatically created on every account on the Mac.
Is that possible? Or is the only way to do such a thing, to have to add it to each and every Safari on each individual account?

No, unfortunately.

Yes.

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

Exporting bookmarks from Safari
Go to File->Export Bookmarks. Safari saves your bookmarks in an HTML file. Save the HTML file to the Desktop or any other location of your choice.
Importing bookmarks to Firefox

Click Import and Backup...
Select Import Bookmarks from HTML.. from drop down menu.
Locate your HTML file exported from Safari.
You can use Safari Bookmark Exporter to export bookmarks to a simple HTML file, if exporting to an HTML file is not supported by Safari.

Trying to import bookmarks from Safari. According to help it says open file and click on import. When I open file there is no import. So how do I import my bookmarks from Safari ?

I'm on a Mac with 10.7.2 I'm trying to import my bookmarks from Safari to FireFox. When I open the "file" to click on import like the instructions say there is no "import" in file. So how do I import my Safari bookmarks to FireFox ?

I don't have that activated either.. :-s

Do you have a lot of bookmarks in Safari??? Here's how to handle them:

Bookdog...highly recommended!
If you have lots of bookmarks in Safari you should take Bookdog for a spin (recommended for 10.3.9 & above). It is well worth the time and effort and definetly worth the $$ to buy the license. (I'm not associated with the software developer in any way, shape or form....I just like to recommend software that WORKS!!)
I have over 3,000 bookmarks and I just downloaded the most recent version of Bookdog and it was able to go through all of them in a matter of minutes and let me know which were good and which were no longer useable. I then went through the list of questionable sites and was able to either update the URL or delete it completely. What a time saver!

Hi Modiver,
Thanks for letting us know, but I'm sure the most of us knowing about Bookdog already.
I came from Jaguar to Panther an in the past I used the FREE version Safari-Sorter. Bookdog...maybe highly recommended, but why should I buy something that normally is integrated in a browser.
* So I sort them manually ...

How do you move bookmarks in safari on a G4 to an iMac?

I've tried everything that I can think of! Connected my iMac and G4 together and tried to "Import Bookmarks" and have no option to choose safari on my G4. Put my G4 safari on an external drive and hooked it to my iMac. Same results. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm using version 4.1 on my G4 and version 5.0.1 on my iMac.

HI David,
You need to go to File/Export Bookmarks (in Safari) on the G4, save the file to the Desktop.
(Target Disk Mode?) Then on the iMac in Safari, go to File/Import Bookmarks.

Adding a bookmark in Safari ios7?

I cannot add a bookmark in Safari. I updated to iOS 7.0.2 a week ago. When I try to use the bookmark button (box with an upward arrow) Safari freezes and I have to close it. I looked at settings for software and it said I am up to date. All of my existing bookmarks are there, but I cannot add any new ones. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Now close Safari.
To close an app - Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail to close it. Now reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Now see if you can add bookmarks without Safari freezing.

I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

Can i set up separate bookmarks in safari for each iMac user

can i set up separate bookmarks in safari for each iMac user???

Searched the support community to unearth this (bit aged, but unanswered)question. Me too face the same problem. SAFARI BOOKMARKS show up the same under all user accounts. Searched all possible setting options but no obvious setting options found (at least by me) to keep them seperate for different users. Can anyone help?

I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac as well as thge MacBook Air I was working on. HELP!!!

Hi,
There is NO need to put your whole questing in the "Questing Heather" therefore you can TYPE here. In the Text window as I did to.
Now to your questing:
So, you moved some Bookmarks and now 2 folders are completely empty.
I think that they dropped in a other folder during dragging the Bookmarks.
Did you check ALL of you Bookmark folder if they are there?
If you didn't delete the they have to be still there.
