Safari 7.0.5 updating bookmark issues

I just got a new 27" iMac running 10.9.4 at work and copied my old Safari Bookmarks.plist to our server. In trying to put them on the new computer, I no longer have the Library/Safari in my Home folder to drag the bookmarks.plist into. How do I update my Safari bookmarks? I tried to make a Library folder in the Home but it said there is already a Library folder, but it does not show up. HELP! I have too many Bookmarks I need and do not want to lose. It sounded simple online when it said just replace the Bookmarks.plist over the Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
In home the folders that show up are Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public.

Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks
from the Safari menu bar. Import from the old bookmarks file.

Bookmarks Issues W/ Safari 8

I Own A MacBook Pro and Am Having Bookmarks Issues with Drop Down Menu... I'm struggling with My Safari Bookmarks In OS X Yosemite Since Upgrading... Can't Add Any New Bookmarks To My Bookmarks Folder; I Can Add New bookmarks to My Bookmarks Bar, But Not to The Bookmarks Folders... THX

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
☞ Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
☞ In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
☞ What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

After updating to OS 10.9.2 Safari shows two year old Bookmarks?!

After updating to OS 10.9.2 Safari shows two year old Bookmarks.
My Sysad reconstructed the actual bookmarks this morning from the backup.
Than I tried to delete a single bookmark and right now Safari shows again the two years old bookmarks?!

Happen to me too. Looks like a Bug. Installed 10.9.2 and it turned on Safari in the iCloud Sytem Preferences.
Thank god I had a backup. And then my wife logged into the same computer and it messed them up again.
I wish I knew where the iCloud bookmark file was. I've tried goggling it, ut no luck.
So If at one point in time if you turn it on it uploads the bookmark file somewere in the cloud, then you turn it off then change your bookmarks to something differnet it's OK. Just don't turn it on again.
Hopefully the bug was on the software update!

OS X slow, laggy after Safari 4.0.5 update

Short: My late 2007 MBP has been working flawless until safari 4.0.5 update.
After, OS X is laggy...
After the update everything seemed fine, but after i've been working for a while, OS X acts laggy.
Applications and such, opens fast, but doing any graphic intensive like, moving windows, open dashboard (not really graphic intensive but...), playing the game Braid, or any Open GL game for that matter is pure torture.
The funny thing is if i change my display resolution from 1440x900 to 1280x800, then back again, everything is back to snappy old OS X that i'm used to for a minute or two, then the laggyness is back again.
This all started after Safari 4.0.5, i've never experienced this before.
I've tried to run a few system maintenance tools like onyx without any success to my problem.
I reinstalled OS X 10.6.2 update - no luck
I Reinstalled my whole system from scratch. Worked fine until.... Safari 4.0.5
Anyone else having the same problem?
My MacMini's working fine, same goes for my buddys MBP unibody first model.

you didn't import your old prefs and bookmarks back?
When Safari launches, it caches your bookmarks and writes them into a new folder. And that lets Spotlight start indexing.
Maybe you have something connected to your system that is causing problems, interference, or router (see notes, Apple mentions a fix for Linksys, why? and are there other router-related issues?)
At least a clean install (I would have done so on a spare hard drive) rules out any 3rd party extensions, plug-ins, and such, yes? Any update to a browser tends to work best if the old cache and sometimes prefs are removed and create a new profile.
I still think a good clone that you can boot from beats a fresh install from scratch any day of the week.
Maybe zero or 7-way write erase the entire drive at some time (best done before using), though even that isn't a guarantee to find, let alone map out, weak sectors. And no, it isn't done automatically by itself or something.
With only one post (now two) it is always hard to know the level of troubleshooting expertise. Restoring from, and having backup clones, should be a standard practice.

Give me an uninstall programs feature, please! Create a restore point; and, rollback driver updates, and make this a modern OS. Or maybe 10.6.2 isn't ready for prime time. It is sluggish on my quad-core Mac unlike any prior version that ran on it (10.4.6 thru 10.5.8). Maybe it didn't get enough testing, or it was but works best on future update to the system.
I've seen users with trouble with Safari that: can't be duplicated, couldn't be resolved, both Mac and Windows versions. But my bet is something is left out, not mentioned.

10.4 to 10.4.11 Combo Update (PPC) Issues - Will Not Sleep, Etc.

I've been running Panther 10.3.9 successfully for a long time. There are a few programs I'd like to use that require Tiger and I realized that Tiger retail disks were getting hard to come by and expensive, so I decided to buy one when I found it for a decent price.
I installed 10.4 (running repair disk and repair permissions prior) and then ran all the possible updates from Software Update. I did not select them all at once, most of them one at a time, while repairing permissions after each of them. Shortly after, things were not right.
The first thing I noticed was that I could not put the computer to sleep with either the Apple > Sleep or through the settings in Energy Saver. Expose was flakey also, it seemed to work intermittently. The eject button on the keyboard also worked intermittently. Then, with Activity monitor I would see the following items not responding: loginwindow, System Preferences and Disk Utility (not necssarily at the same time, but at one time or another.) I suppose there may have been others issues, but these are just some of the things that I noticed.
Startups, restarts and shutdowns took a long time. However, the progress bar on startups after the grey screen visually moved exceptionally fast and seemed odd.
These issues also occurred in Safe Mode.
An archive and install back to 10.4 produces a perfect running system, none of these problems occur.
Since my initial update attempt, I've tried to update with the manually downloaded 10.4.11 Combo Update (PPC) with the exact same results (no sleep, expose issues, not responding issues, slow startups, restarts and shutdowns, etc.)
I've archived and installed and updated four times - only keyboard, mouse, ethernet cable and apple speakers were attached. I'm currently sticking with 10.4 until I can find something I can do to troubleshoot this issue which may allow me to get a problem free update to 10.4.11.
Note that my computer does lose the date and time settings when powered off and today I ordered a new PRAM battery. Could a dead battery be contributing to my issue, even though 10.4 is fine?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

...only real low level kexts like old drivers for Universal Power Supplies & such, or real Haxies that dig into & change the OS somewhere.
So, if old drivers and haxies might exist, how do I go about finding them? The only program that I have that I think may be considered a haxie is DockExtender 3.1.3, http://www.codetek.com/dockextender/ (stills seems to work.) It was in my startup items when I initially performed the combo update. Since then, only iCal related items are in my startup items. Subsequent update attempts have been ran when DockExtender was not active. Also, is it note worthy that I have a non-system icon for my hard drive?
My feeling so far is that it's the HD or RAM, Tiger is twice as hard on & demanding of both.
My hard drive is a Seagate 200 GB (utilizes only 128 GB) Ultra ATA/100 7200 RPM 8 MB Cache installed around March 2006. It still has a 2 year warranty. Are you speculating that it just may not be suited for Tiger?
My memory consists of three strips of Corsair VS256MB133 G that I installed in February 2008 - these came as a warranty replacements due to a bad strip of another part number that they did not stock any more.
I don't think it's any of the APPs you aren't running.
In terms of my applications, so far I've updated Firefox (uninstalled some incompatible add-ons and themes.) Identified Font Doctor 5.1.2.9 has likely not being compatible, because it quits when selecting a folder to move troubled fonts to when diagnosing. I questioned Extensis Suitcase 10.2.2, but found out that if I trashed the Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS that the font activation errors were resolved. Safari has crashed on me a few times, but it is still version 2.0. It also crashed in 10.3.9, forcing me to use other browsers. Can I update Safari now? Software Update does not show Safari and I don't know if the combo update is the only was to update it. I'm still investigating other applications compatibility, but the true test won't happen until I run the combo update and am able to run my applications on 10.4.11.
If you had a Firewire Drive to Install to & try, that would be great.
I do have an external firewire drive, but it contains a bootable backup of my 10.3.9 system right now. I'd hate to tamper with it at this time, due to my current situation. I can check on borrowing one if necessary. Would this prove out the question regarding the hard drive and since it would be a clean install = no possible haxies or old drivers lingering around. I also have my old internal hard drive that I could use but, this would be the original from this mac and although it worked fine when I removed it, maybe it would not work well with Tiger.
Thanks,
Julie

Safari 8.0.2 updated on the 20Jan2015 and Link from Mail do not open | Advertisement pages opens | Blank page do not open on new window click, etc

Hi!
Safari 8.0.2 was last updated on the 20Jan2015 and is my default browser.
Below listed are issues with Safari after last two updates.
When I click web link from mail, Safari does not open that link. I changed to Chrome browsing & it works.
When I click to open new window from the dock, I get last browsing page of the previous opened window web page, where by my setting is for a bank page for a new safari window. .
Every time I click on the link to open in the same browsing web page, a new tab opens with advertisement web page. How can I stop advertisement pages to open automatically.
Safari does not open first time by one finger single click on the safari icon from dock, need two finger click and then select the preferences.
Thanks, will await your assistance & if required updated version at the soonest.

Converting to .PDF bookmark issue

Bookmark issue: I am writing this for another user. I am not familiar with InDesign but have analyzed the issue. Version of InDesign: CS3 v5.0 version of Acrobat: 8 v8.1.3 version of Page Maker: 7 v7.0.1 The user creates an InDesign document with several 'chapters' of content. The structure of the document looks like the following where an X represents an entire chapter and a B represents a subsection of the chapter. X1 B1 B2 B3 X2 B4 B5 B6 X3 B7 B8 B9 The user then creates bookmarks for each chapter and subsection. The bookmarks have a parent/child relationship between X and B, respectively. The same structure seen above is the structure the bookmark tree takes on. When the user goes about creating the file as a PDF, an odd issue occurs. All of the bookmarks work except B2, B4, and B7. B2, B4, and B7 point to B1 even though they pointed to the appropriate locations in InDesign. Obviously, the appropriate settings are toggled to pull the bookmarks across to Acrobat. Something isn't quite right, and I want to figure out where the issue lies. Things to consider: The InDesign files were migrated over from Page Maker files. Anybody have any clue. Any further information needed? --

I add bookmarks to my ID files on a daily basis and hardly ever found a fault with it. As far as I can tell, they appear exactly in the same tree hierarchy in the PDF as created in ID.
... The InDesign files were migrated over from Page Maker files. ...
may be a clue. ID may leave some rubbish in its files, and that rarely (for me, at least) may lead to otherwise unexplainable errors. Perhaps the PM import was not as 'clean' as you'd hope. Try this: export the file to INX and re-load it (you should use the "Open.." command for this). Check if the bookmarks display correctly in their little panel; then try the exporting to PDF again.
Are you sure about the sub-version number? 5.0 is an original, unpatched version, and a number of issues have been fixed -- I think the most up to date version would be 5.0.3 (don't quote me on that, check the updates!). It's not that I remember this issue from the updates, but you never know.

Safari 6.0.5 update loses Favicons!

I just updated to Safari 6.0.5. I'm running OS X Lion 10.7.5 on a Macbook Pro. When I RESET Safari, 95% of the Favicons in my Bookmarks Menu are gone.
Just so we're clear -- in Safari Preferences/General I've designated "Remove History Items" to be done Manually.
On the Reset Safari window/menu, I HAVE NOT checked Clear History or Remove all webpage preview images.
I did not have this problem with the previous version of Safari.
Some users on some older threads suggested replacing the User Library/Safari/WebIcons.db file with an older version from a back-up (prior to the Safari 6.0.5 update). I tried that and it didn't work.
Some users actually inform us that if we simply click on the bookmark and go to the site, the favicon will reload. Are they kidding? I'm not using these favicons for decoration. I use them so I can quickly scan through a list of bookmarks and find the site and bookmark I'm searching for. That's a lot easier to do with the Favicons/WebIcons intact and visible, versus a long vertical row of generic blue balls (no pun intended).
Does anyone have a fix for this?
If anyone from Apple reads this, PLEASE fix this! Had I known this was going to happen, I would have stayed with version 6.0.4!

Hi Carolyn,
I haven't had any problems with Safari crashing or performing poorly. Safari has always run very well for me. My only problem is this one with the web page icons. I understand your suggestion per trashing the existing Webpageicons.db file (versus replacing it with an archived backup).
When you say that it "...may take several days for the webpage icons to re-populate...", do you mean that the icons will re-populate automatically?... or rather that they'll repopulate as I visit the individual websites. I ask because I have hundreds of bookmarks and I don't want to have to visit each site to reestablish its web page icon in my bookmarks. I went through this once before on a Safari update and literally spent hours visiting site after site to reestablish the webpage icons. Can you please clarify?
Thanks for your help!

I can't get on safari due to a update i installed about 6 months ago

safari crashes due to update i intallled 6 months ago. how do i resolve this

Debra...
Most likely due to a third party Safari add on. Try the troubleshooting help here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If you can't resolve the problem post a crash report so we can find out why Safari's crashing.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

Safari won't display "All Bookmarks"

Safari won't show the list of Bookmarks.
All I get is the small box in a footer bar with a + in it (add Bookmark Collection), and the previous page shows in the background of the window. The Bookmarks Bar is visible and works correctly, and the library of bookmarks can be exported, so they still exist.
If I try to open the "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmarks Menu with no window open, the result is a Safari page with the toolbar, Bookmarks Bar, address bar etc. showing but with a blank page in the body of the window. When I click on the Bookmark icon on the Bookmarks Bar, it will toggle to a page with "about: blank" in the address bar.
Safari is the latest version (3.1.2) which was updated a while ago.
This problem started today and updating to OS X 10.5.4 tonight didn't affect the problem.
Anyone else have this happen?

It would be really very strange for you not to have the Safari .plist file ...
Try this: Open Safari, go to Safari > Preferences, go to the General section, and change the "New Window" setting to something different. If it currently is set to "Home Page," change it to "Empty Page," for example. Close the preferences window.
Now open a new Finder window. In the sidebar, click on the "house" icon with your username next to it. Open the Library folder in that window and then the Preferences folder inside that. Click the View menu in your menubar and choose "As List."
Click on the "Date Modified" column header, and click again on that column name if necessary so you have the most recent items at the top. The little triangle next to "Date Modified" will be pointing downwards, and the items at the top will have dates that say, "Today" with very recent times.
Did the com.apple.Safari.plist file appear at or very near the top of the list?

Downloaded Safari v5.1.2 update & all heck broke loose....

Yesterday my Software Update prompted me to download Safari 5.1.2. When I did, a window said I would have to restart my Intel iMac [running OS 10.6.8], so I clicked ok, and suddenly my screen had two alternately very fast-flashing error messages: One saying I had to restart my Mac to do the install & the other saying did I want to install the Safari update. Not being able to stop them as they were flashing so fast, I turned off the iMac with the back button. Upon restart, a window showed the the Safari upgrade was installing.
I opened Safari & the homepage loaded very s-l-o-w-l-y [despite 25MB/sec high speed] and then crashed. It happened again. I called my broadband supplier & everything checked out OK.
I then opened Outlook from Office for Mac 2012 & for the first time was prompted to select my Outlook Identity. Of the two listed, both had a date from 2/10/2011. Seaching my Mac, I found in Documents > 2011 Office Identities one of the two Identiities listed from Outlook Indentity, but with a file date of 11/29/2011 1:45 PM — so I selected that one in Outlook Identities. When Outlook opened, the last email in the In Box was dated 3/31/2011, my Sent Email FIle was empty, and a lot of my folders were missing.
I shut down Outlook, and did two Repair Permisions — and made arrangements for AppleCare to call me today. The Tech Support person went over everything with me, and we discovered that my Safari was still v5.0.5. When opened, it would slowly start to load the hiomepage, and then crash. Abnormalies persisted: I would open a folder and it would take awhile to populate with the enclosed files, etc. He suggested I restore from my Time Capsule. When it finished 6 hours later, I attanged to have another AppleCare tech person call me beofre I proceeded.
This one said it was probably a one-time abnormality in the upgrade download. I opened Outlook & was prompted to use the Office Database Utilitity t rebuild my database. Afterwards, I opened Outlook, and all was restored.
He ended by suggesting I still download the safari 5.1.2 update. But having restored from the Time Capsule, its first had to restore back to the Time Capsule. Then I saw the litany of problems on the Apple Support page..am open for suggestions.
I have been a Mac person since mid-80's and never encountered anything like this :-0

p.s. i deleted the wrong problem glitchy font i just deleted the right one they looked similar. all is good on the browser font issue but everything else is still
sh*t
also shockwave flash wont open on my safari either? i checked all my plug ins but seems to be ok

Heads-Up: Safari 4.0.5 update cripples Disk Utility

Hi guys,
Just a heads-up. If you're planning to install the Safari 4.0.5 update and also maintain a separate OSX partition on the same HDD (backup, maintenance partition, etc), you might consider holding off for now. I installed the update, everything went well as far as Safari was concerned, but an apparent side effect is that now I can't check and repair permissions on my other OSX partition - the one I use to repair disks and permissions; the buttons for checking and repairing permissions are now greyed out. When I highlight the drive I'm booted into, everything's normal, though. Still doing research about this...

HI,
Code Type: X86-64 (Native)
Try running Safari in 32-bit mode.
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*

hi, same issues as everyone else after downloading Combo Security Update 2008-004 Ver.1 and Safari 3.1.2 update, just hanging on blue "loading mac osx", no password screen comes up. i did not have an error like some others when downloading except at the end when it said my startup memory was low, i closed that screen and tried to reboot. that's where i meet everyone else's problem.
I DO NOT HAVE A TIGER START-UP DISK. (i bought my mac a year ago on ebay and the software was installed.
i need help from beginning to end because i am not very mac saavy. thank you. ~laura

The next step would be using the Install Disk to either change the Passwords, or do an Archive & Install if you had enough free space, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc...

For anyone interested or NOT
I fixed the problem by updating firmware on my Airport Extreme. Its true, that was the problem. huh,

I was updating my apps from the App Store when the process quit unexpectedly. Now I can't open the update file nor will my safari launch. How do I get back on to safari and prevent the updates that did download from being installed?

I can't launch safari after downloading so updates. HELP!

Ashka, I have tried to "transfer purchases from device" but that is what I am saying that I do not see the app in the "mobile applications" directory after I do that process. I was wondering if anyone else knew of a way to get to the ipa file that is stored on the iPad such as a program that could browse the directories of the iPad of even an app that could do it so I can get and save the actual app in ipa format.
