Real Menu for Safari Favorites?

Since I'm a hyper-organized type, I maintain a lengthy Bookmarks database in Safari, with a multi-layer hierarchical structure. At the top of this structure is a folder called " • Favorites" which contains a longish set of duplicate copies of-- you guessed it -- current heavily used favorite links. (The " • " is of course a way to keep that folder at the top of the Bookmarks menu display.)
Menu access to any of these favorite links is then Bookmarks >> • Favorites >> someFavoriteLink. But I'm realizing I want it to be even quicker. I'd like to be able to create a "Favorites" menu -- a real menu bar menu item, sitting right between the "Bookmarks" and "Window" menu items in the Safari menu bar, that would contain all these wanted favorite link copies, and nothing else.
Any way to do this, in Safari itself (no complex third-party addons)? Thanks.

In a word, no I've not heard of any third party tools that can do this either.
Have you considered having the 'Favorites' menu on the bookmark bar of Safari instead of under the application menu? E.g. The News, Money, etc folders I have on mine shown below

    If there is no space or tab, you cannot use a space or a tab in the text box you are typing in (such as the address line).

  • Del.icio.us Contextual Menu for Safari

    I am new to Apple and don't know anything about AppleScripts and stuff like that.
    What I want to do is be able to view an RSS feed, right click on the hyperlink to a particular item in the feed and select "Add to Del.icio.us" which would then open the "your bookmarks" page in Del.icio.us where I can then add the item to My Del.icio.us. The goal here is to save me the trouble of opening posts when I can already tell from the headline/abstract in my RSS feed that I want to save the item to Del.icio.us.
    I also don't want to jump through hoops to do this because I am not saavy about these things.
    Any ideas?

    I never did an answer so I guess no one is offering what I was hoping to find. Oh well.

  • Categories in IPhone contacts and folders in safari favorites

    Will Apple ever implement categories in the IPhone contacts and folders in safari favorites? This is a great phone but without this it puts contact management back dark ages when you have 300 contacts. having the favorites in the contact screen is not the same but it helps just a little. If they do I would like more than 35 categories to define myself. If would also like a search with the virtual keyboard so I can type in Ken and get everyone with the first name of Ken. The MS smartphones have all of the above and it is a good idea.

    It already has Groups for Contacts and Folders for Safari favorites.

  • Safari Favorites URL Address

    It might be a dumb question
    but I would like to ask here the URL address for " safari favorites " if exists
    It might like " http://  .... " like this form.
    Is it possible to get into favorites with http:// form ?
    Does anyone have experience about this ?
    Thanks

    Try control-clicking on Safari's tool bar, choose Customize Toolbar, and drag the window back onto it.

  • I have followed instructions for importing favorites from Internet Explorer, but they do not show up in Bookmarks menu as shown in the support instructions.

    I just downloaded Firefox 3.6 and followed the instructions for importing Favorites from Internet Explorer. Firefox said the import was successful, but the Favorites do not appear at the bottom of the Bookmarks menu (below "Mozilla Firefox") as shown in the Support instructions. Where can I access my Favorites?

    You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).<br />
    If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • In Safari, no Bookmarks menu for a managed account???

    Hi, all.
    Is there any way to have a Bookmarks MENU for a managed account, not just the Bookmarks Bar?
    Thanks!

    Double tap Home button and delete Safari and Mail from multitask bar that appears.
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • Safari 6 dropdown menu for switching search engines gone? Nooo!

    Safari 6 no longer has dropdown menu for switching quickly between search engines? I know how to set/change the default search engine but I like/use some features on Google and others on Bing.  I do research all day - this stinks!  (They got rid of the snapback feature too.  Are they nuts?  The Reader feature is nice, but doesn't make up for losing these other things - would go back to previous version if it weren't such a PITA to do it) 
    Is there a quick workaround - something faster than loading the alternative search engine main page and inputting search field info all over again?

    download the latest version of Glims... now works with Mountain Lion and Safari 6

  • When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Is there a fix for this?

    Hello Nigel.
    Are you sure the Bookmarks you important are nowhere to be found? They should be stored in your bookmark manager, somewhere. To access the bookmark manager, go into ''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks...''. Try searching there.
    You can change their place from there too.

    You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

  • Can not delete Fox news icon from Safari Favorites Bar, keeps coming back

    I can not delete "Fox news" icon from Safari Favorites Bar. Dogpile Search engine also.  Both keep coming back with icons upon new opening of Safari.
    I have removed these icons from the Book Mark files and Favorites Bar menu and any reference in the LIbrary and replaced them with less spammy evercookie news and search engines 3 times to no avail.  I just upgraded Safari (April 2014) and it made no difference. These sites represent the paradigm I
    no longer am putting energy into nor want which is why I have rid these increasing more corrupted and cookie agressive sites.  But now.....
    they won't let me go!!  Any one no how?

    Thank you for trying but no not the problem.  Had the same problem with Iphone 4S.  Would not connect to my mail server and tried to send me to fraudulent website in the UK/England.
    I did a restore to factory restore to the phone with upgrade to newest operating system, my was up to date until OS 7 as I heard there were problems.  Now it has OS 7. 
    Neither I nor verizon could get the phone up and connected for service again.  Taking phone to
    apple store on Tues.
    I am suspecting the "heart bleed"  vulnerability.

    Thanks, Craig

    Craig,
    From the Safari Menu choose>View>Customize Address Bar...>Drag your favorite item into the toolbar...>"Address and Search"
    The "Search" window is the Safari implementation of the Google Toolbar.

  • Plugins for Safari

    Hello,
    When I visit some webpages and click on video links I get a message like this:
    ... has content of MIME type “audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
    I do have the Real Audio player but what do I do to get a realaudio plugin for Safari?

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The content may not be Mac compatible. Before going
    down that path:
    An alias file of the plug-in ought to be in your
    Internet Plug-ins folder - RealPlayer
    Plugin.plugin. Does one exist in your system?
    This file connects to the original file buried in
    the RealPlayer application.
    If it does exist, open Real Player by double clicking
    on the application in your Applications folder. Then
    open the Preferences file>Internet panel:
    Internet Settings - 1st and 3rd boxes checked
    Web Browser settings - all boxes checked
    Media Types - first four boxes checked.
    Close the preference file, quit RealPlayer. Restart
    Safari.
    If the alias plug-in does not exist, go to the
    Applications folder>RealPlayer.app>right click
    to open Contextual Menu>Show package
    contents>Contents>MacOS. In that folder you ought to
    see the actual plug-in. Single-click on the plug-in,
    holding down the option/Apple keys. Then drag to the
    desktop. This creates an alias of the file. Next
    drag that file to your Internet Plug-ins folder
    (either Main or User Library where your other
    plug-ins exist) and drop it there. Restart Safari
    and try a video or audio feed triggering RealPlayer
    (NPR is a good choice).
    If the content does not play, please post a URL so I
    can test from here.
    Thank you for your help.
    I downloaded the real player app and ctrl click on the icon to see the content files. Your directions were very good and much appreciated. - Barry

    If you're on windows try the following:
    This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
    1. Quit itunes
    2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
    3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
    4. press ENTER
    5. Reboot your machine
    6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
    7. Good luck
