Safari 4 Bookmarks gone

Hello,
I was using safari 4 running at Vista.
Normally I use it as visitor and it was ok. Different bookmarks as Admin and as Visitor.
Yesterday I use Safari as Administrator no problems at all.
Today I started as Visitor:
1) Now l have to use the admin passwort to run Safari, I did not have to do this before.
2) All Visitor bookmarks are gone. Safari has copyed the bookmarks from the Admin version.
I need the Visitor bookmarks back and I want to use my Admin bookmarks too.
Why do I have to give the Admin passwort when logged in as Visitor, I nerver had to do this before.
I updated to Safari 5 but still the same problem.
Thanks for your feed back.
BR from Germany

Thanks b noir
I deleted safari because Vista was asking for re activating the product key because of changings in the system.
I guess installing safari 5 has change too many things.
I'm not sure if this is the solution,
I was using safari for years now.
Thanks an BR

  • Can no longer get safari to work on my ipad.. bookmarks gone..etc.

    I can no longer get safari to work. bookmarks gone..google will bring up cnn.com but I can't scroll it or get ride of keyboard...

    First, double tap on the home button and your recent apps will appear in an area across the bottom of the iPad. Find the Safari icon and hold down on it until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the icon to quit the app. Tap the Home button again to stop the apps from wiggling then tap anywhere on the screen to return to the home screen.
    Now go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, clear cookies, clear cache. Then tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
    Now restart the iPad. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears then slide to shut down. To start up again, hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and then let go of the button.
    After the iPad has fully restarted, try the Safari App again.

  • INSTALLED 3.1.1 - FORMER BOOKMARKS GONE!

    Installed 3.1.1. Former bookmarks gone, replaced with what Apple apparently thinks we should use for bookmarks (Google maps, Yahoo, etc.) - maybe they get money for them.
    Fix was:
    Quit Safari.
    In User/Library/Safari/ change Bookmarks.plist to Bookmarks0.plist and LastSession.plist to Bookmarks.plist
    Start Safari - no Bookmarks appear.
    Quit Safari.
    In User/Library/Safari/ change Bookmarks.plist to LastSession.plist and Bookmarks0.plist to Bookmarks.plist
    Start Safari - old Bookmarks are back.

    Yikes! I did this (apparently incorrectly) and now have lost all of my bookmarks. Anyway to retrieve? I'd rather lose my hair than my bookmarks.

  • Safari screen has gone blank and seems to be hanged

    safari screen has gone blank and seems to be hanged

    Saji-
    Can you still access your Bookmarks at the top of the Safari screen?  If so, select it and choose History.  Then click Clear History at the top of the History window.
    If that does not help, double-click the Home button.  A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and find Safari.  Press and hold on it until it starts to wiggle.  Then click on the red minus sign to remove it from the list.  Click the Home button to stop the wiggling and again to return to the Home screen.  Now see if Safari is working any better.
    If still no improvement, try resetting (rebooting) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • I upgrades my iPAD  3 to iOS6 and now I can't open my Safari RSS bookmarks.  Any ideas to help?

    I upgrades my iPAD  3 to iOS6 and now I can't open my Safari RSS bookmarks.  Any ideas to help?

    I've installed 3 different RSS readers and none of them "grab" the default flag for RSS feeds.
    I've also uninstalled the Podcasts.app, then re-installed a couple of the readers and Safari still has no idea what to do with them.
    What's most annoying is that Safari declares it doesn't know what to do with a feed and offers to load the iTunes Store so I can pick an RSS Reader to install, and then the iTunes app declares it can't connect to the store (even when I'm already on the store or downloading an application at the time).
    And yeah, I've tried the fixes for the cannot connect errors (Date/Time flip, reinstall bought app, setting DNS to Google even though it was already fine, and clearing Safari's cache just in case).
    This is absolutely pathetic.

  • I have an iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.3 and when I use the landscape view in Safari, the bookmark page appears and takes up one half of the screen. How can I get rid of the bookmark page so I can have the whole screen to what I am browsing?

    I have an iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.3. When I go to the landscape view in Safari, the bookmark page appears and takes up one half of the screen. How can I get rid of the bookmark page so I can use the whole screen to what I am browsing?

    OOPS! Too quick on the trigger to ask that question without trying anything. Sorry. Solved it by touching the bookmark icon.

  • The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed

    The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed to a lighter font.  How do I change the font back?  I'm not speaking of the font size/type in the web browser in viewing web pages, but the font in the application itself has changed. It's rather annoying and would like to be able to change it back!  I'm running Safari v5.1.7

    OK, Margie, here's what to do . . .
    First Quit Safari.
    Then Find your User's (Home) folder library. 
    It's hidden, but here's how you find the Home Library:
    Click on the desktop to get the Finder menu.  Then go up to  "Go" in the menu bar, while holding down the option key.
    You'll now see the User Library in the drop down list. Open it, then look for the Fonts folder.
    Take the fonts folder to the desktop.
    Restart Safari.
    Any better?
    (Warning:  This is only for the Users/Home > Library > Fonts folder.  Under no circumstances, should this be done with the SYSTEM > Library > Fonts folder.) 

  • Every so often when using safari my bookmarks disappear and then later the list shows up again.  Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

    Every once in awhile while using safari my bookmarks list disappears.  Later it just shows up again.  Anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

    I have had exactly the same problem now with two mini iPads.  Everything was tried; 1) restarting; 2) restoring factory settings etc.  NONE worked.  Eventually Apple agreed to replace it.  I have had the replacement now for two to three months and exactly the same thing is happening again. So off to Apple tomorrow to get another replacement.
    I am quite a heavy user of the iPad so wonder if this is something to do with the fault.
    It is so frustrating as sometimes reset works, and then after 10/20/30/40 minutes (you pick) it goes unstable again.

  • Export Safari 1 Bookmarks to Safari 2

    Running OS 10.3.9 on my PowerBook with Safari v1. Need Bookmarks on my new Mac Intel 10.4.4 running Safari v2. Don't want to just clobber the .plist files for Safari in case they are not compatible. Tried Safari Bookmark Exporter, doesn't have a Safari Export option.
    How do you get Safari v1 bookmarks into Safari v2?

    Kenneth,
    For reference, I have Safari 1.3.2 on my Panther iMac and Safari 2.0.3 on my Tiger iMac.
    Just to support Miriam's suggestion without using the term "export"...
    Find the Bookmarks.plist file in ~Library/Safari Folder of your PowerBook, make a copy of it and use the Safari>File>Import Bookmarks feature of your new machine.
    ;~)

  • The safari button is gone....how to set it up again

    all of a sudden the safari icon is gone on my ipad......how to get it back, I can#t access the web.....still other things like fb or calendar work...

    when you double press the home button and do a dearch for safari, does it show up?
    if not, you can go to settings> general> restrictions and see if there is any restriction on safari
    if none, restore.

  • My Safari page has gone dark and is totally inactive - how do I get it active again?

    My Safari page has gone inactive.  How do I reactivate the main Safari page?

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My Safari browser is gone. How do I find it? I have a browser in Firefox, but I prefer to use google.

    My Safari rowser is gone. How do I find it? I have a browser in Firefox, but I prefer to use Safari.

    Tools > Options >> '''Advanced''' -> General = at the bottom under System Defaults
    BTW, the Firefox 3.5.x versions are supported any longer, you should upgrade to at least 3.6.20 or 6.0. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Safari display has gone nuts

    Yesterday my Safari display has gone nuts.  Just displays a long list of items on the website....no graphics and the links don't work. Every site is the same.
    I did a restart.....I did a shutdown....still the same.
    Firefox works fine.
    I tried to find a download to reinstall Safari but no luck.
    How can I get Safari working again?
    thanx
    Peachie

    Well, I only have one extension: AdBlock.  I disable that and now it works fine...everything is loading.
    But it used to work fine with adblock enabled.  What has changed?
    Without Adblock I find Safari difficult to use.
    Thanx for your reply.
