Safari Bookmarks were automatically restored after Disk Reformat and OS X Mountain Lion re-installation

Hi to All,
I was just wondering how my Safari Bookmarks were auto restored after I performed a Disk Erase/Reformat, and re-installed from scratch my OS X Mountain Lion. After my login into the new reformatted OS X Mountain Lion Disk, I noticed my old Bookmarks were there as before on the Safari Bookmarks Bar.
I know this is not a priority support question But I was just wondering how this was done, so I may continue to learn about Mac OS X Mountain Lion and its features like Safari, iCloud, and so forth
Thanks in advance for the feedback. Cheers!

Thx! Linc Davis,
I anticipated you will contribute to my question
I know iCloud does it, but I was confused on whether iCloud does it automatically or if I did something to enable this feature. Would you please confirm?
Thx & Cheers!

  • How do I use Disk Utility to help install Mountain Lion after many failed attempts?

    I tried to install Mountain Lion from an App onto my MacBook.
    First it said that my disk was damaged to i tried to repair it.
    Didn't work.
    Then it said I didn't have enough room to install Mountain Lion.
    Then I tried to restore Lion.
    Didn't work.
    Then someone suggested I reset my PRAM.
    Tried that, and now I am stuck.
    I can't restore any of my backups from timeline.
    I can't reinstall OSX because my drive is now locked.
    And I don't know how to use Disk Utility to solve this problem!
    Any suggestions welcome... I'm in way deeper than I understand and feel like anything I do is making this worse!

    I gather that your computer is in a less than satisfactory state, so the process below will basically start you from scratch, but you shouldn't lose anything.
    Okay, can you inspect the Time Machine Backups with the Finder? About two or so folders down you should start seeing your system files. Assuming all your files are present.
    Important^
    You probably have an installation disk that came with your macBook.  Boot from that CD and install from the CD.
    Run the verify disk utilites and repair utilities if necessary.
    You may want to erase your disk from the CD's disk utility. This will erase your Hard Drive (make sure you do not erase your backups, as that would be very bad).
    Once the installation is complete, run all system updates. Either look through your backup and find the Mountain lion installation app, or download it from the app store again. 
    Run the ML installtion app.
    Once everything is up and running, move all files and folders you want from your TM backups and you should be good to go.

    Hi,
    I gues you are using AS2.0, then use setInterval, in AS3.0 user Timer Class.
    AS2.0
    var interval:Number = setInterval(doThis,10000);//in milliseconds
    function doThis():Void{
    //do something;
    AS3.0
    var timer:Timer = new Timer(10000, 1);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimerCompleteHandler, false, 0, true )
    function onTimerCompleteHandler(event:TimerEvent):void{
    //do something;

  • Does Mountain Lion Automatically Change Fonts, Size or Screen Resolution, Does Mountain Lion Automatically Change Fonts, Size or Screen Resolution

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, the text in my nav bar and inside browsers (generally all around) seem to be smaller and possibly different (thinner) to what they were before.
    I would like to revert back to their previous appearance, but after reading various threads and playing around, nothing seems to work. I'm not sure if the font has been changed, the size adjusted, or the screen/display resolution changed.
    I tried suggestions like clearing font cache with Onyx and testing different Display resolutions, but didn't manage to get it back to how it was before the OS upgrade.
    Appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction please. TIA.

    Could you post a screenshot showing your main menu bar and the Finder sidebar, please? This way we could compare the fonts used.
    For me the system fonts look like this in Mt. Lion on a 17" MBP with the "Display" System Preferences set to "Best for Built-in Display":
    I have the Finder's View option set to use 16pt fonts, but other than that is there no way to change the the fonts used without changing the Display resolution.
    One more option you may want to check are the "Contrast" settings in the "Accessibilty" System Preferences. If you set the contrast to a very high value will the text appear to be very thin and hard to read.

  • I installed 6.0.2 on OS10.7.5 and now Safari won't open.  6.0.2 is just for Mountain Lion.  How do I revert to 6.0.1?

    I installed 6.0.2 on OS10.7.5 and now Safari won't open.  6.0.2 is just for Mountain Lion.  How do I revert to 6.0.1?

    I do have a cloned back-up, so I tried to just copy Safari 6.0.1 back onto my main drive—wouldn't work.  Got a message that the System needs Safari and I can't touch it.
    I'm trying to find a simpler way to revert than clone backwards, which takes a lot of time.  And actually I never use Safari.  I'm a Chrome user.
    You are correct that I downloaded 6.0.2, rather than using software update.  However, with many other pieces of software, if you try to install over the wrong system, you get a message telling you that the installation can't be done.  Apple could have saved a lot of trouble by using this message.
    I have three machines of different vintage, so one is on 10.6.8, one on 10.7.5 and one on 10.8.2.  I am usually pretty careful about software updates and which system is needed.  Unfortunately, in this case I used CNET download, and the description of 6.0.2 said it was for Lion and Mountain Lion.

  • Re: My Macbook 2009 model was recently upgraded with a new hard drive and upgraded to Mountain Lion OS. I am battling to retrieve all my photos that were ''saved'' in iCloud. Can someone help?

    If you are trying to recover photo stream photos, they are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  All you would be able ro recover is photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    If you have an iOS device that still has the photo stream photos one it, you can save them to the camera roll by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once in the camera roll, they can be imported to iPhoto on your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

    Go to system preferences, mission control, and unselect "Show Dashboard as a Space".  While you're there, you may want to make dashboard set to a hot corner "Hot Corners" button at the bottom.

  • Lost Safari Bookmarks on MacBook Pro after Sync with iPhone

    I set up my iPhone to use MobileMe to sync with my two macs and other iphone (wife).
    I lost all the Bookmarks on the computers within Safari.
    1. What do I need to change to avoid this in the future?
    2. Is there a place my Bookmarks have been automatically saved so I can restore? I have 'Time Capsule' and MobileMe.
    If there is a way, can you explain?
    Thank you

    Don't know why that happened, but Safari Bookmarks are stored in ~/Library/Safari/bookmarks.plist (the ~ is shorthand for your home folder). You can use Time Machine to restore them.

  • How to restore after disk replacement?

    l just had my iMac hard disk replaced due a recall.  Before taking it in I made a disk image with disk Utility and securely erased the disk.  I also have Time Machine back-ups going back several months.  On getting the machine back, since it contains sensitive data securely erased the new hard disk and started up with the Snow Leopard boot disk.  When I tried to scan the disk for reinstall I get an error "Unable to scan 'image name' (internal error)".  I tried several times with the same result.  I then tried to restore from Time Machine and got a message that No Mac OS X backups were found."
    I installed Snow Leopard and again tried both approaches with the same result.  I can see to Time Machine backups on the disk but when I restore it simply copies the files into "/Volumes.  Anyone have ideas on how to restore the system?

    Rodocki wrote:
    The disk image did not.  Not sure what's wrong with the disk image burn and restore process but it is clearly not dependable.
    Unless you tested and restored it after making it, it's a poor choice, since it requires three volumes: the boot volume, source volume, and a destination volume. A bootable backup/clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! is a much better choice. BTW, it's also significantly faster to restore one of these than it is to restore a disk image.

  • Apps won't launch after disk reformat

    I recently deactivated my Creative Cloud apps on my primary machine because I needed reformat the startup partition. After the reformat everytime I try to launch an app I'm asked to sign in, after the thank you screen the app will not launch (with the exception of Photoshop). Everything works fine on my secondary laptop.
    I'm on OSX 10.6.8. Also, I use Retrospect to clone my system back to the reformatted disk. I'm suspicious that that might be the cause, but I'm also worried about making things worse if I try to reinstall a new system.

    Installing a new system fixed the problem
