Safari Duplicating Bookmarks

Since turning on iCloud, I have this issue where Safari 8.0.3 (10600.3.18) keeps duplicating book marks and bookmark folders. I now have about 7 copies of each bookmark. (Same issue extending to Contacts and files)
I have attempted to turn off and re-enable iCloud but the problem keeps compounding. I've seen older post as far back as 2009 on this but no real resolutions to speak of.
Help appreciated!

    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?

    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.
    ;~)

  • How do i get rid of duplicated bookmarks after sync

    after reset sync, i ow have duplicated bookmarks on my pc and i keep getting error messages that it can't sync to my iPhone.
    How do i get rid of duplicates on my PC?
    No articles on this subject help or have answers that helped!!!!

    I had to go through and delete duplicated bookmarks. After syncing up computers, turn only one on, one with duplicates. Organize, remove, relabel the bookmarks. Open tools(XP) or Firefox upper left(win7) options,Sync,manage account, reset sync,replace all other devices with this computer's data.
    Seemed to work for me.
    Sync instructions could be a lot clearer about this.
    I am not clear how syncing works when 2 computers are on all the time.

  • Safari´s bookmarks won´t synchronize

    Hi guys, seems I´m not able to synchronize my safari favorites bookmarks anymore. All the other contacts, calendars are fine.
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    There are several threads on this...please search...
    I had the same issue and removing all sync accounts and make sure to install the very latest iTunes version and then add the accounts back to iPhone...this worked for me and for other possible solutions, please search the topic there are many posts...

  • Firefox sync is duplicating bookmarks

    Firefox sync is duplicating bookmarks. Sync between two Win7 PCs.
    There is no noted solution to this.

    I'm having a similar issue - I'm going through a rather OCD period of re-organizing my bookmarks from delicious within Firefox, and I will edit may tags et al.
    Then at random moments Sync will evidently decide it doesn't want to update the server with my most recent changes, but download the server copy back over them.
    I'm see no particular rhyme or reason to it, but it's transforms what should be a rather boring task into a sisyphean labor.

    Hi
    Although this is the iWeb forum it isnt really for Safari problems.
    Anyway, If I can help you I will try.
    Your bookmarks are stored here: User / Library / Safari / Bookmarks.plist
    Sometimes, you make changes and OS X moves creates a new Bookmarks.plist file and renames the old one Bookmarks.plist.old.
    If you do have Bookmarks.plist.old, deleting .old from the filename may bring back your old bookmarks.
    Move the Bookmarks.plist to your desktop while you do this, so that you have a backup if you need it. If it all works then you can leter delete this file.

    when i open safari the bookmarks page pops up.  how can i stop this from happening?

    Under the older iOS, when you opened a blank Safari page, Bookmarks automatically opened. However, with the newer iOS, this does not happen anymore. What iPhone and version of iOS do you have?

  • Safari help bookmarks, favorites etc.

    Is there somewhere I can go to get info on Safari, favorites, bookmarks, etc.
    When I bookmark the sites go to favorites and there is no bookmark folder. Should I create a bookmark library and have all bookmarks saved to that folder? If so, how would I do it?
    Thanks,
    Don

    Click "Bookmarks" in the Safari menu bar.
    Select "Add NewBookmarks Folder".
    Sidebar will open with a new Bookmarks folder "untitled folder" highlighted blue.  Enter a name for it.
    Click the "Share" button in the Safari toolbar and select "Add Bookmark"
    Click inside the box and a  menu will pop up and select the folder you want the bookmark to be placed.
    Click the "Add" button.
    At the top of the menu you will see "Favorites" folder. You can select it if you want to add a bookmark to the Favorites bar.
    Best.

  • Convert ie favorites to safari 7 bookmarks

    I'm on a new MacBook Pro, and love it.
    I want to know how to convert the .url files which were IE 9 Favorites to Safari 7 Bookmarks. Import doesn't work.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Export your IE bookmarks to a USB thumb drive then connect the thumb drive to your Mac. The USB icon should appear on the desktop.
    Launch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click File > Import Bookmarks then navigate to the USB drive.
    If the USB drive does not appear on the desktop, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click File > Preferences then select the General tab.
    Select:  External disks
    Congrats on your new MacBook Pro!

  • Safari: Sort bookmarks

    Is there a way to sort bookmarks while managing bookmarks in Safari?

    I absolutely agree with Teknomad.
    I have spent years in trying to keep Safari bookmarks in sorted order. When adding a bookmark it goes on the bottom and cannot be sorted without doing a drag-n-drop (this includes imports). With a lot of bookmarks that are needed are at the bottom and the place to store them is at to is at the top, a sort system is needed.
    Another reason for a sorting system is that when importing bookmarks from another browser there is duplicity of URL's. Deletion of older URL's is/will be required. I have even used Excel for this process, UGH.
    Exporting to another browser for sorting likewise is a waste of time and manpower or workload if you prefer.
    Apple is wrong in not helping the end user.
    I have ended up using Firefox (cannot stand slow Netscape) as a result of the lack of sorting capabilities. When Safari was first introduced, it was difficult to work the bookmarks and so Firefox was an easier/simpler choice. Netscape did have the advantage of sort ascending or descending, however.
    APPLE, WE NEED HELP!!!!!
