Safari bookmarks completely screwed up messed up

With the latest Mavericks update my Safari bookmarks are completely messed up now having multiple copies of every folder, and the url's in the folders are not matching exactly (some seem to be old versions of the bookmark folders, in that sites are missing from some duplicates)
Does anyone know of an easy way to compare and edit these? Of course they're completely out of order
Thanks

Firefox bookmarks to replace Safari bookmarks, complete instructions

For all of us dummies out there : ]
Here are the complete instructions to get your Firefox bookmarks into Safari, and to get them to replace the ones you have in Safari. This is useful for people who, on their computer, do not use Safari, and only use Firefox, but need their Firefox bookmarks easily accessible on their phone (without having to use the Firefox Home App). This will allow your Firefox bookmarks to get synched onto your iPhone's Safari App. Only thing I haven't figured out is how to automatically make this happen, so Safari bookmarks continuously update with changes in the Firefox bookmarks.
Here's a link on how to export Firefox bookmarks to your computer, and then import them into Safari:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-bookmarks-safari
The only thing missing in that link is: How do we now get our bookmarks from Firefox to replace the ones in Safari? We want our Bookmark Toolbar in Safari to be the same as the one in Firefox, and the Bookmarks Menu as well.
The answer is straightforward, a slight pain in the butt, but simple. In Safari:
1. click Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks
2. In Sidebar in Safari window, click on Bookmarks Bar. All bookmarks in Bookmarks Bar will be listed to the right.
3. Select all of the bookmarks shown, and then hit Delete on your keyboard.
4. In Sidebar, click on Bookmarks Menu. All Bookmark Menu items will be listed to the right.
5. Select all of the bookmarks shown, then Delete.
6. In Sidebar, click on your just-imported-from-Firefox imported bookmarks. It should be listed as "Import" with a date.
7. In window, find Bookmark Toolbar (you will need to scroll way down the list past regular bookmarks), and click its arrow to open the list of bookmarks below it.
8. Select all those bookmarks below the arrow, and drag them into the sidebar, and drop them on top of the Bookmarks Bar item.
9. In Sidebar, again click on your just-imported-from-Firefox imported bookmarks.
10. In window, you will see all the other bookmarks.
11. Select all those bookmarks, and drag them into the sidebar, on top of the Bookmarks Bar item.
Now all your Firefox bookmarks are in Safari in the same places. When you sync your iPhone, all those bookmarks will be available in the Safari App.

Anyone with assistance for this question? It would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

I hate that with ios 7 my bookmarks show up on the safari home screen. Is there a way to remove the icons from the screen without deleting my bookmarks completely?

I have recently updated to ios 7. On my safari home screen there are my favorites listed. I absolutely hate it. Is there anyway to remove the bookmarks from the safari home screen without deleting my bookmarks completely? I am resisting the urge to throw the whole **** thing away and buy another tablet. Please help me! I usually love the updates but I feel ios 7 is more than I can bare. If I wanted Window's crappy format I would have bought a Microsoft product!

On your safaris home screen is a square icons consisting of your favorites and the IOS 7 favorites ( Disney,Apple,Yahoo,Etc) and I knew I wouldn't use these so I wanted to learn how to delete them. So, after messing around a few times with them, I realized how easy it was to delete them. All you have to do is go to the top right corner of your homepage and click on the book icon (found left of the cloud icon). Once you click on it, your history for safaris searches should come up. On the top left corner above your history should be " <Bookmarks " written in blue. Click on that and a list consisting of these should come up ( top to bottom of list ) FAVORITES / HISTORY / GOOGLE /BING / IPAD USER GUIDE. Click on FAVORITES. Your list on the favorites on your home screen should come up. Simply slide over the item to your left (EX.. Yahoo) and a DELETE button in red should come up. Click delete and your done, the icons should disappear on your home screen. Only bad is that you have to delete them from your favorites too.

4.2 now Safari bookmarks are all messed up

bookmark bar is all messed up many of my bookmarks are gone and I can't add any to the bar now. it has also done the same on my iPad

So, do you think Apple is gonna get a fix out for this? Just curious, as they were the ones who were so big on the whole idea of Stacks in the first place.

How to get Safari bookmarks into iPad Air?

I have an iMac running the current version of OS X. Also have an iPad Air with IOS 8.1.3. How can I get my Safari bookmarks on the iMac over to this iPad? Because of Apple no longer allowing simple ID's, I had to create a new ID. Trying to use this same ID on my iMac, iPad, and iPhone did not work - I spent hours trying to sort that out and gave up. Anyway, how can I get my bookmarks copied over?
Thanks, Jim

Oh, if I only knew the answer to that question. Somewhere, somehow, something got screwed up with my "new" Apple ID and the underlying email accounts. I spoke on the phone to an Apple support guy who finally gave up after 30 minutes. As it stands now, all three devices see the same email messages - very good thing. However contacts, notes and anything else on the iMac are not shared on th iPhone and iPad. The goofy thing is that those items DO share between the iPhone and the iPad, but anything I do on either of those devices is not sync'd over to the iMac. I've spent so much time messing with it that my head hurts. I wish I could simply clear out all three and start over, but the way things have worked out so far, I'd probably wind up with NOTHING working. Very, very annoying.

How to recover Safari bookmarks from a previous backup?

Hello,
After about six months, I had to do a complete factory restore to resolve a nasty 3G connectivity problem. The restore to factory settings was a pain but it worked. Most of my apps have desktop versions to store crucial data files, but I forgot to save my Safari bookmarks. Is there any way I can selectively go to the past backup data files and find my bookmark links? I don't want to restore to a past backup in case it reintroduces the same problem that messed up my 3G connectivity, though I am tempted.
I tried opening some of the data backups in textedit but of course all I could see was code.
Thanks for any help.
Jim

No, a backup and restore is either all or nothing. You can't selecte what to backup or to restore.

ICloud backups failing due to Safari bookmarks DB being locked

iCloud backups are failing to complete on my iPhone 4 (CDMA), iOS 5.0.1. I successfully completed a backup on November 9, but haven't been able to get a backup to complete since then. When I manually invoke the "Back Up Now" function, it starts backing up, then says "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later."
Looking in the console logs (below), it appears the problem is that the Safari bookmarks DB is locked (corrupted?). Indeed, I am unable to add additional bookmarks in Safari, I get the message: "Bookmarks are being synced. Please add the bookmark once syncing has completed."
I've tried restarting the iPhone to no avail; I've also looked at Apple's iCloud backup troubleshooting doc, and none of the cases there seemed to match this problem.
Any suggestions ar every much appreciated!
Here is what the iPhone console says:

Had same problem, the solution lies with having your original apple ID associated email address "verified".
I may not have all the steps down correctly, but open your apple ID account manager and go to the your listing for email and "verify" the email address. This association then seems to allow the use of your email address when you are trying to set up this new apple ID that they are requiring for iCloud.
Be aware that this new apple ID has a far reach and apparently cannot be undone, that is you can't change the name, characters, numbers or whatever you have for an email address that becomes your apple ID---even if you can no longer use the email address to receive email.
Lots of luck.
I have been trying to get the iCloud features to work for over a week now, including a visit to a genius bar, and still not fully functioning.

Sync a tasks or To-Do list - a basic workaround using Safari Bookmarks

I resisted the iPhone when it came out but, being free with 02 in the UK, my resistance crumbled. I love it but am still flabbergasted by the lack of Tasks synchronisation. I had downloaded a simple 3rd party app, but this deleted all my tasks when it updated - of course, I didn't have a backup on my Mac.
Before you get excited, this has nothing to do with Tasks in iCal. Sorry. This is a fix, of sorts, which will allow you to have a rudimentary tasks list which can be edited on either iPhone or Mac; most importantly, they can be synced.
I don't have Windows so can't say whether this works with it or not - I imagine it should work using Safari for Windows.
1) On the Mac, go to 'Show all Bookmarks' in Safari.
2) Make a new Bookmarks folder anywhere. I put mine in the Bookmarks Bar, and called it 'To-Do'.
3) Populate it with bookmarks. I did this by dragging the current Safari URL into it, about 10 times.
4) Edit the names of the bookmarks, so as to leave it essentially - but not totally - blank. I renamed all the Bookmarks "." (period/full stop).
5) After the period on each bookmark, enter the task item. It will look like e.g. ". Car service before 14/8". Repeat as necessary. You now will have a list of bookmarks, each renamed as tasks.
6) Ensure that in iTunes, the iPhone is set to sync Safari bookmarks.
7) Sync.
8) You can now access your tasks on the iPhone, relatively simply, by accessing the bookmarks through Safari. Connectivity is unimportant as you will not be selecting the tasks/bookmarks/URL, merely looking at the list.
9) The tasks/bookmarks can be edited or deleted using the Edit function. (There's a surprise). You can of course delete the entire task when completed but this will necessitate re-populating the new folder with more bookmarks. I just delete the name of the task up to, but not including, the period. Using the Edit function, you can also re-arrange the order of your tasks/bookmarks.
That's it. Obviously it's not great and has limited functionality and no ability to archive. But, if like me, you just want a basic task list, easily accessible on either platform, editable and 'syncable', then it works surprisingly well.

Thanks! If you will allow, I have a follow up question: do you have any experience with any particular app? If not, is it fairly easy to find an app like this?

Transfer Safari bookmarks to another iphone help

Hi all,
I am thinking about upgrading my iPhone 4 to a 5. However, as I use my current phone a lot for work when out and about, I have a lot of useful Safari bookmarks saved on it. I will need to transfer these bookmarks to a new phone. However, on my home PC I have a completely different set of internet favourites saved. I understand (and I may well be completely incorrect!), that synching will match up the favourites on the phone on PC, but this is want I want to avoid. I just want to be able to transfer the saved bookmarks on the old phone to a new phone, without matching them up to the PC.
Is this at all possible, or is it a pipedream? Alternatively (and hopefully!), I'm missing something really obvious and simple!
Thanks.

My safari bookmarks disappeared. How do I find them again?

All of a sudden, all my Safari bookmarks on my iPad disappeared. I did not deliberately delete them. I thought I would be able to reinstall them via iCloud (backup)?

Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Safari icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that didn't work - try this. 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 - let go of the buttons.

How to sync Safari bookmarks between various Macs?

I own a desktop iMAC and a Mac Book Pro, but most of my work is done in the iMAC, However, I'd like to sync my Safari bookmarks in my MBP in order to have the same bookmarks in it too.
Being a mobileme subscriber, I have set it up in the iMAC and the MBP to sync the Favorites too. But it doesn't seem to work as the bookmarks in my MBP are completely different from those which I'm after, i.e. the ones in my iMAC.
Where am I going wrong?

HI,
Try MobileMe: Resetting sync data
Then open System Preferences / MobileMe - Sync
Select Bookmarks in the list and click Sync.

Safari bookmark sync (continuity) does not work anymore

I noticed that my Safari stopped syncing between devices.
I have Safari enabled in iCloud settings on all my devices (two Macs with OS X 10.10.2; one iPad Air 2, and one iPhone6, both with iOS 8.2).
I also tried the usual disable-enable-merge cycle, with more than 1 minute wait-time in between for the syncing to fully complete.
In the end, each device still has its own version of the bookmarks and reading list.
It used to work when running OS X 10.0 and iOS 8.1.
I don't know when this has changed.
Please help here.

Howdy kakyoism,
It sounds like you are trying to use iCloud to sync your Safari Bookmarks and Reading lists across your iOS and Mac OS devices. I would like to recommend that you use the troubleshooting in the following article if you have verified that the same Apple ID is signed in on each device:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

How to export Safari bookmarks to Chrome?

I love the iPad Mini, but Chrome has some knockout features - like single-line URLs, and queries you can dictate. How can I export my Safari bookmarks into my Chrome Browser on the Mini?

I think this information is stored in
/Users/Library/Safari/Form Values
I've no idea if it's possible to read it (opened in TextEdit, it's encrypted).
But I wonder if it's possible to use a unix command that concatenates the two Form Value files on each Mac into one? If you want to try this make sure you keep a back up of each original Form Value file belonging to each Mac before messing about. Safari should be closed too.
Copy both files onto a single Desktop, you'll need to name them uniquely, say FormValues1 and FormValues2 (note no spaces) then type this command in Terminal (Applications/Utilities):
cat ~/Desktop/FormValues2 >> ~/Desktop/FormValues1
Then rename FormValues1 back to the original name of Form Values and move it back into the correct folder:
/Users/Library/Safari/Form Values
I expect you'll have duplicate values in that file now and I've no idea how Safari will handle this scenario, maybe it will clean up but so long as you keep a copy of the original Form Values files you can restore the status quo afterwards. Good luck.

Problem managing Safari bookmarks

Hey guys,
I've been having a problem relocatting my bookmarks in my bookmark bar. What I mean is: I created a new bookmark bar folder and put some bookmarks in it. I don't want it in the first place though, but every time I put it in the right order anyhow (even in the Show all bookmarks page (alt-Cmd-B)), they go back to the place they were, and with it go some other bookmarks. It gets very messy! Sometimes I get the error that it cannot be changed because it's synchronizing, so I even tried it without my wi-fi on, rebooting and all... But the next they the order is changed again! I've been trying to put it right (because now I have ALL the wrong bookmarks in the bar, and none of the really useful) for about one week now every single day and it doesn't seem to stay.
Deleting the folders with the bookmarks seem to work, but I need them, it's just not as important. Every time I try to add another folder/bookmark, same happens... So now I have a bookmark bar full of "useless stuff" and can't make it right!
What can I do? This is very unpleasant!
I'm using a MacBook Pro i7 2.7 GHz, with Mountain Lion OS, Safari version 6.0.
Thank you!

I have an update but the problem is even more confusing to me now!
I have not synced bookmarks since getting the iphone originally, and at first when the sync seemed to fail, I was seeing what I thought were the older original bookmarks. But I happened to notice that a file named PC Favorites had been placed in the Bookmarks Bar which contained all the Favorites from my old Dell PC--this was apparently transferred by the Apple Store when I first purchased my Mac Desktop and had them transfer all my files. On inspection, the bookmarks on my iphone are identical to those in the PC Favorites file. I did an experiment in which I altered the bookmarks on my phone by deleting some and then tried sync again--sure enough, I got back the complete "PC Favorites" set of bookmarks. So the sync feature seemed to be working, just pulling the wrong set of bookmarks. Next, I deleted (or so I thouhgt) the PC Favorites file since it is no longer relevant to me, and then tried another sync, thinking that the Safari bookmarks would now be transferred. I got back the PC favorites even though I had deleted it. Strangely, it did not appear as a Trash item when I checked after deletion, but I can't locate it in Finder anymore and it is no longer visible in Safari. So I have to assume that the deletion of PC Favorites did not occur and it is lurking somewhere, being preferentially synced for some unknown reason.
Based on my lack of technical knowledge, I am guessing that there are any number of alternate explanations, but I am at a loss as to how to proceed now. If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it--but what I'm considering now is just waiting until I get an iPhone 4S soon and sync directly from my computer rather than transfer from my old phone. If the problem persists, support will be covered with the new device.
Thanks for tolerating a couple of longer posts, and any info you might provide.
