Safari is not saving new bookmarks

Safari will not save new bookmarks. What do I do to reset or fix the problem?

I had the same problem and in fact could not even retrieve my old bookmarks . What finally worked was something very basic, please try rebooting your IPad after leaving it off for 30-40 seconds , worked for me . All my original bookmarks are back and can add new ones too now.

Safari History not saving recent searches

My Safari is not saving recent history. A few days ago my trackpad wasn't opening programs and now it seems to be fine. Now my preferences change every time I restart. Similarly, every time I reopen Safari, the newest history that shows is a few days old. For a few days now it's shown Friday the 17th (it's Monday now). I cleared the history and when I restart the application the history shows up like as if I never cleared it.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Repair Disk actions from the Install DVD
Did Disk Utility report that the disk, "appears to be ok" ?? The instructions at that link were to check the startup disk for problems, not repair permissions.
I didn't know how else to get to the user accounts
Open System Preferences / Accounts. You can access non admin accounts there.
If you haven't set one up, follow the instructions here.
Creating a new user account: 10.5
The reason we ask that users try another user account is to "test" Safari there. If you have the same "history" problems there with Safari, that's why you need to check the startup disk.

Safari will not display new domain endings on iPad

Safari will not display new domain endings, instead goes to google, other browsers have no issue with this just safari. My domain per example ends in .photo rather than .com etc.... This is only an issue on the iPad or mobile app of safari.

You need to check that website again, after clearing the cookies from browser. If it still unable to connect with the website having new domain names then message to Safari forum about the problem or inform them via feedback option available in browser. Hopefully they would troubleshoot this problem.

I can not create new bookmarks. New bookmarks don't show up in my bookmarks list.

i have a list of about 20 bookmarks but i can not add new bookmarks to it.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Config.saveNew() is not saving new config hdr id inside CZ_CONFIG_HDRS

Hi,
I am trying to create a new configuration using CIO something as below.But I see that api is returning new configuration hdr id but i dont see that id in CZ_CONFIG_HDRS table.Here is sample code inside java concurrent program.
// Create the Configuration object
Configuration config = cio.startConfiguration(cp, context);
config.completeBeforeSave();
config.saveNew();
ong headerID = config.getConfigHeaderIdLong();
long revisionID = config.getConfigHeaderRevisionLong();
cio.closeConfiguration(config);
Am I missing anything.Why this code is not saving new config hdr id inside the table CZ_CONFIG_HDRS. Please suggest if anything is missing here.
thanks,
ashok

I have done something similar and followed your approach.
The only real difference I see is that after "closeConfiguration(config)", I had these two lines:
context.releaseJDBCConnection();
context.free();
This was over a year ago and it was only a proof of concept. But I do recall that my test code was properly generating the record in CZ_CONFIG_HDRS. Perhaps these two additional lines would enforce the "commit" of the records. It might be worth a try.
Thanks,
Jason

After upgrade to 3.6.8 will not add new bookmarks.

I have tried all of the fixes on the site but none worked. Still will not add new bookmarks. Windows XP Pro.

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Safari 6.0 is not saving my bookmarks after restart

Just bought Macbook pro and noticed that my bookmarks weren't saving after rebooting. Bookmarks are there if I close and reopen Safari, but not after rebooting. Haven't installed any 3rd apps/extensions except flash. Also running Kapersky. Appreciate any help on this.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Safari/KeyChain Not Saving Yahoo Mail Login/Password information?

I have a MacBook Pro laptop, Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 and Safari browser Version 5.1.7 Snow Leopard. The problem is ... I recently changed my passwords on my Yahoo Mail accounts.   Safari will not prompt to save my login information for Yahoo Mail. It works with other web sites and worked with yahoo mail before I changed passwords.
My attempts to correct the problem have been unsuccessful. I have tried the following:
1. Ran Updates
2. Clicked on Safari > opened Preferences >clicked Auto-Fill all 3 boxes checked
3. Finder >Applications > utilities > KeyChain     I found Yahoo mail and removed the old ones.
4. With KeyChain open > Clicked KeyChain Access > Clicked KeyChain First Aid and Verify    No problems found
5. KeyChain Access> File > New Password Item> Typed in KeyChain item Name as https://login.yahoo.com and tried mail.yahoo.com typed in Information and saved.
I have checked the apple sites, the only thing I have found is what I did in #2. the boxes were already checked.
May be I am missing the obvious here. If there is a solution I would appreciate the help. ?

I'm having the exact same issue with Yahoo only on my iMac after changing the password. I've been trying to fix it since yesterday, and yes I'm updated. I also tried several fixes for the trojan. Not luck for me yet.
Corrections Completed for Safari 5.1.7:
1- verified all updates completed
2- deleted cookies for everything
3- deleted keychain access for yahoo account. Interesting is that after deleting cookies and keychain, the username and old password keep populating but it hasn't stored the new password because I never received the prompt to store.

Autocomplete is not saving new entries in forms (gmail subject exaclty)

It used to work ok - Gmail subject used to be saved, and I could reuse it with drop down list shown when writing first letters. But it stopped to save new entries. Saved before are still avialalble, but not new.
In other forms (on other sites), autocomplete is still fully operational, with saving new entries with no problem.

Since I need to send many e-mail with same subject daily, I managed this problem in some way.
I created simple html file, with only this inside:
<form method="get">
<input type="text" name="subject" size=100><input type="submit" value="save">
</form>
When I need to save new subject, I open this file (no need to be uploaded, works from hard drive), write my subject, and click save.
Then it is avialable in gmail.
Strange, stupid, but works :)

Firefox synch does not synch new bookmarks inside enclosing folders but leaves them at a higher directory on remote computers. How do I fix this? Xmarks did this flawlessly!

I make a new bookmark at home and save the bookmark in an existing folder within an existing folder (two levels deep). When I synch and look at the same bookmark on my work computer the new bookmark is outside the second (enclosing) folder. How do I fix this.

The unix commands you need are:
GetFileInfo
SetFileInfo
and maybe find
for cryptic details use the man command
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
man SetFileInfo
You may use the SetFileInfo command to set the file type & the program which will open the file.
# This little gem will do a get info on all files in a directory.
mac $ ls | xargs -I {} GetFileInfo "{}"

Safari no longer saves new Bookmarks (OS X 10.8.3 - Safari 6.03)

I am trying to save bookmarks as I always had done, simply no bookmark gets saved. I reset Safari.

Copy the same line of text to the Clipboard again.
Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
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 bookmark folders as you wish.
Re-enable synchronization if you disabled it. 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.

Safari crashing when adding new bookmarks.

Ive been having an issue with my iMac ( Its a 21.5-inch, late 2009) Yesterday evening while using Safari it crashed when i tried to add a new site to the bookmarks menu. At first i didn't think anything of it and tried to do it again, the same thing happened. Its been doing it every time i try to do it no matter what site i go onto but nothing else seems to be affected.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Notes in Mail not saving, new notes can't be created

Ok, so for awhile I was using the Notes feature in Mail (10.5; all fully updated) to get off of Stickies which are apparently bad (and non-Syncable)... All was well until I realized that changes to Notes weren't being saved and when I create a new Note, hit Done, it doesn't save. I'm trying to save these to my .Mac account, so it should be a space or perms issue.
Thoughts?

I click the Note button, nothing happens. The feature is completely out of service. I don't understand. Am I missing something obvious? I have tried the keystrokes too, no reaction at all, no errors, just can't use Notes, at all! rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Please help.
Update: I opened Console to see if I could find any errors immediate after trying to create a note and this is what I found:
