Safari bookmarks will not change

Every time my Safari bookmarks sync to my iDisk, they revert to a year-old version of the bookmarks. It will not retain any of my bookmark changes. I tried to change and even delete the bookmarks.xml file on my iDisk, I get a message that tells me that I do not have privileges to do anything to the file.
Any suggestions.
Thanks.

iSync doesn't sync Bookmarks or to your iDisk. iSync is for syncing Contact & Calendars to non-Apple mobile phones only.
*MobileMe Sync* handles bookmark syncing, and the forum for that is here:

Safari bookmarks will not sync after installing icloud

New bookmarks that I have added after installing icloud are not being synced to my ipad

Hi Midlake
You may have already resolved this? but I just realised you may have had the same problem as myself.
1. Connect your iPhone
2. Go to iTunes and click on your iPhone icon in the left hand panel
3. Click Sync tab (you will see sync contacts, mail accounts etc.)
4. IMPORTANT scroll down the page as the sync bookmarks is hidden!
Hope this works

Safari 5.1 will not change my privacy settings without quitting and restarting the browser.

I have installed Safari 5.1. When I attempt to change the block cookies setting in the privacy preferences, the browser will not change the settings until I quit and restart the browser.

Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left.
Open the Library folder then the Cookies folder.
Move the Cookies.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

My Safari Windows will not close

My safari windows will not close. I can use the internet fine, but safari will not allow me to close or minimize the window. This is also stopping me from shutting down my computer without removing the battery. Should I take it in to get repaired, or is it a setting on my computer that got turned on? Is anyone else having the same problem? Thank you! - Kristen

Hi Kristen,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Which version of OS X are you using?
For possible relief, go to your Finder. There, navigate to your User Account's Library>Preferences Folder. You'll see a file com.apple.safari.plist. Move it to the desktop and restart Safari.
Please let me know if that changes anything.

Firefox is repeatedly DESTROYING my website Bookmarks; will not 'Restore' ANY Bookmarks

Firefox is repeatedly DESTROYING my website Bookmarks; will not 'Restore' ANY Bookmarks!!
This has happened several times in the past week (late-June, 2014)
This is OUTRAGEOUS, CYNICAL, SADDISTIC, INCOMPETENT, MEAN-SPIRITED - on Firefox-Mozilla's part. "Educated guesses" are yet more  YOU--consumers crap that is not at all intended to help consumers.

When i open safari, it will not load and the color wheel spins

When i open up safari, it will not load anything and the color wheel spins as long as safari is open. Not sure what to do.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Popup on Safari that will not go away

I have a popup on my Safari that will not go away, even when I restart my computer. It's to call a number immediately to get help, which I Googled & it is a scam. Can anyone please tell me how to get my Safari back to working right. Thanks
Below is what the popup says:
http://mac-system-issue.com
Safari - Alert
Suspicious Activity Might Have been Detected.
Major Security Issue
To fix it please call Support for Apple
+1 800-680-0697 (Toll Free) immediately!

Let me preface this by saying that I am in no way a tech person. I just followed other people's advice and somehow it eventually worked for me. I'm sure I didn't do it the easiest way or the fastest way, but I was trying anything I thought might help.
1) First I tried overriding Safari with a new version but then realized that it was incompatible with Lion, so I upgraded to Yosemite. Didn't help.
2) I then opened Safari (same problem was happening) and did a force quit. There are a number of ways to do that but I chose to click on the apple in the top-left corner, go down to force quit, and then select Safari. Then I went in to Library > Safari and deleted the "LastSession.plist" and then emptied my trash so that it would be totally off my computer. Then I reopened Safari holding the shift key. When it opened, a box came up basically asking if I wanted to restore my last session. Read it carefully and choose the option that will start a new session instead of reopening your old work.
I have no idea if the fact that I upgraded my Safari and operating system helped or changed anything. You may be able to do everything in Step 2 and get the same result....but that's just how it all worked for me.
Hopefully it helps. But I know this particular adware popup i a real bi-atch because it basically totally disables Safari.

Bookmarks will not add. 10.8.4

Bookmarks will not post using add prompt

Back up all data.
Copy that line again. Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the folder open.
Relaunch Safari. It will open with the default set of bookmarks. Delete them all. Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks
from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Arrange the bookmarks as you wish.
If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post again.

Finder Icon will not change! Please help!

I have been customizing the look of of my dockbar on my imac by giving all of my apps new ios 7 style icons.
Yesterday I changed my Finder icon with no problem at all by going to:
System→Library→Core Services→(right click 'Dock'→Show Package Contents)→Contents→Resources.
And replacing the two png files (finder.png) and ([email protected]) with my new images. Yesterday I did this all perfectly fine and it changed to my new icon.
However today I found a better finder icon and decided to change it again to this new version. However what ever I try it will not change to this new icon.
I have followed the exact same steps as before, I have replaced my two png files from yesterday with my new ones and I have checked and re-checked that I am naming the files correctly, and that they are the right format etc.
I have even deleted my original icons that I changed it to yesterday and emptied them from the trash but it is still there even after restarting and shutting down and rebooting.
I have also tried going to terminal and typing 'killall Dock', it still returns with the same icon that I changed it to yesterday, even though I have deleted them from my hard drive.
Please help me this is so frustrating and have wasted many many hours on this.

Statistic report with figures that will not change when rerun months later

Hi,
Is there any good practices that we can follow to create statistic reports with figures that will not change even when rerun after few months later?
My scenario is my statistic report is generated based on data that is "alive" which means the record will get change after a period of time. So, if you generate the statistic report in for January 2006 in the month of January and regenerate in May for the January 2006 statistic, the figure is different. But what I want is to be able to get the same figures.
I know in this case looks like we need some sort of summary tables, so posting this to get advice on the best way to design such summary tables. Please comment if there is other ways of doing it.
Summary tables may work for statistic report, but how to support detail report listing where the records are required to be the same when it was generated few months ago.
Please advise.
Thank you.

What happens, when you execute a report today is the following: a select statement is fired at the data base and the result set is displayed in the report. The data can change after the moment you launched your report. What you could do to keep the result set the same, is implementing a user parameter that fills your date discriminator.

Safari it will not advance past the first page of a PDF Document

Running Safari 5.1 under Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a d MacBook Pro when I try to read a PDF document in Safari it will not advance past the first page. I get the first page of the document in the browser window. No navigation in the toolbar, the up, down, right and left arrows do nothing nor does the return/enter key.

If you are using Adobe Acrobat > Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory

In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change

For a certian Application I am using I need to change the format of the Time and Date. I had no problems in Mountain Lion. In the advanced tab of languages and Region the time and date formats will not change. I need the date format to read as 01/01/14 and time format to read 13:00. As I said this was easily done in Mountain Lion and all previous Apple OS. I suspect it's an issue with in the OS.

You're right, it has been that way for a long time. I've never bothered reporting it as a bug since it's simple enough to deal with, but reporting it would be a reasonable thing to do.
