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.

How do I clear all personal data bookmarks history etc and import data from safari

I have a MacBookpro 10.6.8 and I am trying to clear ALL personal data on my new Firefox 12 (Bookmarks History etc) and then import all settings from my Safari. I've deleted the Firefox application as well as Library/application support/mozilla and Firefox still retains all of the old settings (Bookmarks History etc) from the old version 3
How do I do this.
Thanks

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
Make sure that Firefox is closed (Firefox > Quit Firefox) when you remove files in the profile folder.
You can also create a new profile.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
You can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile if you want to keep some data.

Deleting Safari Bookmark Favorites with one key stroke

Just got a brand new MacBook Pro 15 in. with retina display...upon connecting to the WIFI that my old Toshiba laptop was connected to, my new Mac imported all this suff and filed it under my Safari Bookmark Favorites....I can delete them one by one, but it's too many to delete singularly. Is there a way to delete all that is in my Safari Favorites with one key stroke?

   Delete Safari .plist file.
   Quit all applications. Click on an empty spot on the desktop to activate Finder.
   Hold the “Option” key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
   Select “Library” from the drop down.
   Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
   Right click it and select "Move to Trash". Close Finder window.
   Please don’t empty the Trash.
   Restart. Launch Safari.
Test Safari. Try editting bookmarks
   If this doesn’t help;
   Put back the com.apple.Safari.plist
   Right click the Trash icon in the Dock and select “Open”
   Right click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select “Put Back”.

How to undo Safari copying bookmarks, history, favorites, and reading list from Macbook Pro to iMac after Yosemite update?

I just updated my iMac 27inch Mid 2011 to Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a Macbook Pro that I primarily use for everyday stuff. I upgraded to Yosemite a while ago on my macbook. Now that I upgraded my iMac, it transferred everything saved in Safari on my macbook pro to my iMac. My favorites, history, bookmarks, and reading list were copied over. This is driving me nuts! I had a separate set of data saved on the iMac because I use it for different purposes. All of the original bookmarks, favorites, history, etc. on my iMac are now gone. I logged out of iCloud (which was a feature I did not enjoy when upgrading to Yosemite) yet all of the safari data from my laptop is still cloned onto my iMac. Please tell me there is a way to undo this or refresh safari pre-Yosemite update!
Thank you!

Then there's no way to recover the lost data. You will lose every bit of data you have if you don't start backing up.

I upgrades my iPAD 3 to iOS6 and now I can't open my Safari RSS bookmarks. Any ideas to help?

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.

How can I import my IE8 bookmarks/favorites into Safari if I only have access to the data stored on my old hard drive? I can't run Windows to export them to an html file.

My old PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro. Although I was able to copy the data from the PC's hard drive, I am unable to export my previous bookmarks/favorites to an html file because that PC won't boot. Is there any other way to import them into Safari using the raw data stored on that drive or convert them somehow to a format I can import?

You can only use a JSON backup to restore all bookmarks in Firefox. 
If you need to import Firefox bookmarks in Safari then you need to (re)install Firefox and export the bookmarks to an HTML file.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In Safari 7.0.3, how do I get website ICONS to show up in the bookmark favorites toolbar?

RE: Bookmarks/Website Icons in Favorites Bar
In Safari 7.0.3, does anyone know how to get website ICONS to show up in the bookmark favorites toolbar?
Blue dots with the website name in text show up in the favorites bar.
The website icons do show up in the bookmarks sidebar.
Thanks!

Nope, they don't - and we are up to version 7.1 now. I have done a good bit of searching on this subject, and it is a frequently asked question. I don't understand why Apple don't implement it. It is the only reason I am currently using Chrome instead of Safari. I have too many bookmarks on my toolbar for them all to have names, using the icons allows me to pack them in tight and have instant access to lots of sites I use frequently.

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!

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.

Can all the options as history, bookmarks, tools etc made be password protected

my system is shared by many people so i want to make my whole Firefox options as history, bookmarks , tools etc. made password protected.
is this make possible?????????????

Best bet if the computer is shared, use the Guest account in Windows or give each person that uses the computer their own limited account. Putting a password on an application without putting a password on the Windows account that it's running under gives you no security whatsoever, because they can tamper with the system (installing a keylogger, etc) to get past any security an application can provide.
Antivirus and firewalls are unlikely help you against something that's deliberately installed - you need to limit access to windows itself if you want to be secure and private.

Safari's bookmark

I updated mac os x for ppc on 04 03 2006 but I counld not open safari's bookmark, someone help me how can I do repair work?

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.
