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.

  • 10.4.5- removing bookmarks crashes Safari

    I updated to 10.4.5 last night to be a guinea pig. Since then, I cannot remove any bookmarks from my bookmark toolbar without Safari crashing. I also can't even go into "Show all Bookmarks". I did repair permissions, but it didn't resolve the issue. I can add bookmarks, just can't remove or manage them.
    Is there anyone else having this problem? I can certainly work around the problem for the time being by editing the .plist, but I just want to know if it is just me or if it is widespread. Please chime in if you have updated to 10.4.5 yet.
    TIA,
    -Brett

    Since I test this stuff out before rolling it out to 150 users, I really wanted to know what failed. I pulled my bookmarks.plist and forms data files out, cleared cache, reset Safari, ran disk permissions etc without any success.
    I figured it out though... it was something within the Safari.app itself. I downloaded the combo updater and unarchived all of the files inside the package. I found the Safari.app (same version that I am using now) and launched it. It was using all of my preferences, but I was able to edit my bookmarks.
    So, your suggestion of running the Combo updater would have fixed my problem, I just didn't want to do a blanket fix in this case..
    Edit: I just did a file comparison of those two application packages and found that a lot of resources are left out *(like help files). I will run the Combo updater afterall.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • ICloud Control Panel 3.0 for Win8 syncs bookmarks with Safari removed

    Is it true that iCloud Control Panel 3.0 no longer syncs bookmarks with Safari for Windows? According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759 Safari for Windows is no longer supported, only IE, FF and Chrome. I need a work around if this is true.

  • How do I uninstall Firefox and switch my bookmarks to safari

    How do I switch my firefox bookmarks to safari and then uninstall firefox?

    If I remember well you may hav a choice upon starting Safari for the first time to import other bookmarks. If that's the case you should trash Firefox after setting up Safari.
    If you can't do it then export your bookmarks from Firefox before removing it. You can trash the app manually, then you must trash Mozilla preferences (org.mozilla.firefox.plist) and Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Firefox, Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Mozilla, Users/yourname/Library/Cahes/Firefox. You can also use an application like AppDelete. When done you can import your bookmarks in Safari.

  • I can't import bookmarks from SAFARI 6.0.1 on a MAC to FIREFOX 15.0.1.

    I've followed directions for importing from HTML file and importing from another browser to no avail. I did get empty folders importing from another browser. Just empty folders no bookmarks.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Did you manage to export the bookmarks in Safari to an HTML file like posted above?
    You need to do that first.<br />
    Then you can open the HTML file in a (plain) text editor to check whether sections that start with "<H3" have a FOLDED attribute.<br />
    If that is the case then you need to remove all the occurrences of the FOLDED attribute and save the file as plain text.<br />
    After that you should be able to import the file in Firefox.

  • Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone

    Hi.
    I've got a rather stupid/perhaps very simple question about the bookmarks on Safari.
    I want to get rid of the Bookmarks Bar & Bookmarks Menu folder on my iPhone. On my computer I predominately use Firefox but I did create bookmarks for Safari so I have them on my iPhone. I've tried going onto Safari and edit the bookmarks but it will not let me remove these two folders. Any suggestions ?
    Thanks.

    Hi Aubrey-Jay,
    I just figured this out today.
    Solution (for Mac):
    1. Open Safari
    2. View > Hide Bookmarks Bar
    3. Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks > uncheck Include bookmarks bar
    4. Close Safari
    5. Connect your iPhone to iTunes
    6. Info tab > under Web Browser, select Sync Safari bookmarks
    7. Info tab > under Advanced, select Bookmarks
    8. Apply
    This will sync up to the new settings we've done in steps 2 and 3, doing so will remove the Bookmarks Bar & Bookmarks Menu folder.
    Once done syncing, you need to unselect the Sync Safari bookmarks and click Apply. That way, next time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, it will no longer sync up with Safari's bookmarks.
    Best Regards,

  • On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

    How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

    The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, 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.

  • 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?

    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

  • I removed my /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/.VideoCaptureFactory.* files and now Safari will not open. How do I fix this?

    Hi,
    In a stupid attempt to "fix" my computer, I removed my /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/.VideoCaptureFactory.* files (one was a .png and the other was a .xls).
    I followed these steps:
    Manual Removal Instructions
    1. Run the following command in Terminal:
    defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment
    2. Take note of the value, DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
    3. Proceed to step 8 if you got the following error message:
    "The domain/default pair of (/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info, LSEnvironment) does not exist"
    4. Otherwise, run the following command in Terminal:
    grep -a -o '__ldpath__[ -~]*' %path_obtained_in_step2%
    5. Take note of the value after "__ldpath__"
    6. Run the following commands in Terminal (first make sure there is only one entry, from step 2):
    sudo defaults delete /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment
    sudo chmod 644 /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info.plist
    7. Delete the files obtained in steps 2 and 5
    8. Run the following command in Terminal:
    defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
    9. Take note of the result. Your system is already clean of this variant if you got an error message similar to the following:
    "The domain/default pair of (/Users/joe/.MacOSX/environment, DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES) does not exist"
    Is there a way to update my db to not look for this or did I remove something crucial to the functioning of Safari? I feel like an idiot.
    Thanks for any help.
    Sincerely,
    Sterling MacNay

    You installed a variant of what’s commonly called the “Flashback” or “Fakeflash” trojan, although the names are obsolete.
    If you’re certain you know when that happened, and you back up with Time Machine or something similar, you can save yourself a lot of time by restoring your whole system from the most recent snapshot taken before it was infected. Then take Steps 7, 8, and 10 below.
    How can you tell when the infection took place? All you can be sure of is that you were infected some time before the problems started. You may have visited a blog that prompted you to install some kind of software, or a “certificate.” You entered your administrator password when prompted. If you remember doing that recently, mention it in a reply, but don’t post a link.
    If you don’t know when you were infected, there's no easy, reliable way to remove the malware, because it's constantly changing. There are differences of opinion on this site as to the best of course of action, so you should do your own research before deciding how to proceed.
    I suggest you take the following steps:
    1. Back up all data to at least two different devices, if you haven't already done so.
    2. Boot from your recovery partition (if running Mac OS X 10.7 or later) or your installation disc (if running an earlier version of the Mac OS), launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This action will destroy all data on the volume, so you must be sure of your backups.
    3. Install the Mac OS.
    4. Reboot and go through the initial setup process to create an account with the same name as your old one. Don’t import anything from your backups at this stage.
    5. If running Mac OS X 10.6.x or earlier, run Software Update. You may have to run it more than once to fully update your system.
    6. Restore the contents of the top-level subfolders of your home folder except “Library” from the most recent backup. The Library folder may contain components of the malware. It’s best not to restore anything from there. If you must do so, restore only files, not whole folders with all their contents, and only if (a) they’re visible in the Finder, and (b) you know what they are, and (c) they haven’t been altered. Don’t restore anything in the home subfolder Library/LaunchAgents, if it exists, or any hidden files or folders, no matter where they are.
    7. If you’re running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, launch Safari and select Safari ▹ Preferences… ▹ Security from the menu bar. Uncheck the box labeled Enable Java. Because of known bugs, Java in those OS versions is unsafe to use on the Internet. (Note: I’m not referring to JavaScript, which is unrelated to Java, despite the similar names.) If you’re running Mac OS 10.6.8 or later, you should still disable the Java web plugin unless you really need it. Few websites have legitimate Java content nowadays. If you encounter one that does, enable Java temporarily.
    8. Change every Internet password you have, starting with banking passwords. Check all financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Take this step only after you’ve secured your system in the preceding steps, not before.
    9. Reinstall your third-party software from fresh downloads or original media, not from backups which may be contaminated.
    10. If you use any third-party web browsers, disable Java in their preferences. As with step 7, this step is mandatory if you’re running any version of Mac OS X older than 10.6. Otherwise it’s optional, but recommended.
