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 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.

  • Ios Safari. How do I save new bookmark in new folder AT THE SAME TIME??

    I'm dumbfounded.
    I'm on ios7 using an iphone, on Safari...
    and I find a page I want to bookmark.
    So I click the "share" button, click "Bookmark" to add it. Fine. Then I get options to choose a folder to store it in. Yay!
    But nay! There is no option to save it in a brand NEW folder that doesn't already exist!
    Do I REALLY have to cancel, click the bookmarks menu, click edit, click new folder, create a new folder... then go back to the share button, and save the bookmark in the new folder??
    I can't be bothered to count the number of steps I have to take to do this but, it seems like TOO MANY!!
    Am I being dumb? Is there an easier way?
    Am I the only one who finds this infuriatingly inefficient?

    To emphasise my point: To do this it appears that I actually have to:
    1. click Cancel (upon realising I'm an idiot for thinking it could be so simple)
    2. click the bookmarks menu,
    3. click Edit,
    4. click New Folder,
    5. type the name of new folder,
    6. click Done.
    7. click Done again.
    8. err... So "done" doesn't mean done apparently, so click Done YET AGAIN
    9. then click the share button
    10. click Bookmark
    11. click Location
    12. choose the folder
    13. click Save
    Who is designing all this software? And how did they get the job?

  • Safari wont save new Bookmarks

    No matter what I try, Safari 1.3.1 will not save a new Bookmark. If I drag to the Menu Bar, use the pulldown etc, when I reopen Safari the Book mark is gone.

    Safari 2.0 (as part of Tiger) has an Import Bookmarks option in the File menu. Not sure about your 10.3 copy though. You can install Safari Enhancer to enable the Debug menu (which has this Import command hidden therein). Good luck.

  • Bookmarks box will not show up and I cannot save new bookmarks.

    I cannot save any new bookmarks and the bookmarks box to enter in information about the website you want to save will not pop up. I already did the trouble shooting for extensions and themes with no results. What should I do?

    Have a look at this rather long article [[Lost bookmarks]]
    The article covers most reasons why bookmarks may be problematic. I would also recommend you make a manual backup of any bookmarks you currently have to guard against further loss and any accidental overwriting. See [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks#w_manual-backup| manual backups ]]

  • Cannot any longer save new smart collections

    Hi, after reinstalling Photoshop CS6 I cannot any longer save smart collections in Bridge. Always I want to create a smart collection by entering criteria, but when I click on SAVE, it is not saved. After some time of waiting, I always have to cancel, to close the pop-up window that should allow me to save the new smart collection. In my old installation (before I had to install a new hard disk), setting up and saving smart collections never was a problem.
    ALL updates of CS6 have been installed. And I am under WINDOWS 7. Version of CS6 is: 13.01 x64
    Before, I used a regular hard disk for the system, now I have a SSD, plus several hard disks for data storage.
    Can anybody help me with advice what the problem is?
    That whould be great. Thanx,
    Jochen

  • I can neither save new bookmarks nor delete existing ones.

    My bookmark system worked until a few days ago, and now will not let me save new pages or delete existing ones. Tried the two methods described on main site, neither worked.

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

  • Safari 4, Saving a new bookmark switches to a different window

    When I add a new bookmark to Safari 4, the bookmark gets saved but I get switched from Safari to another window or program. For instance if I have Photoshop, Outlook, and Safari open, adding a bookmark will cause my focus to switch from Safari to Outlook or Photoshop. I then have to select Safari again to get it on top of my other windows. This did not happen with Safari 3. I have replicated these results on my Vista Ultimate machine with version 4 at work as well. Same problem. Last night I completely reinstalled Vista on my home computer thus having a totally fresh system. Same problem. Bug has been reported but I just want to know if anyone is having this issue.

    Just for those who are interested, this is what cleared the "bookmark menu"  trbl I had.
    Open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Bookmarks, then reselect it.
    Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark again.

  • Lost bookmarks, force quit and re-boot with no change. still cannot save new bookmarks. is there a solution?

    help

    Hello Badgeptfc
    I would try first to reset all settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data by doing this and test it out. If you still cannot save a bookmark, then you will need to restore your iPad and not restore from back up. The instructions for restoring are outlined in the article below.

  • Can't delete or save new bookmarks in safari

    I am running OS X 10.8.2 and safari version 6.0.2.
    Safari is not allowing me to delete current bookmarks or save any new ones. Manually deleting them from the bookmark page does nothing once I close out and reopen safari. Same goes with saving new ones. I attempted to look at similar threads to find a suggestion and what I found was the advice given to those questions can't be applied to this situation. Mainly because the file path they suggested to go doesn't exist on mine. Any help will much appreciated.

    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. You can demote it 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 -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    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’renot 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 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.

  • Imported bookmark folders not showing up in list of places to save new bookmarks

    Hello! I imported my bookmarks from my old computer to my new computer. Old computer was running XP, new is running Windows 7. Both have the latest version of Firefox.
    On the old machine, when saving a bookmark, it allowed me to select the folder to put it in.
    On the new machine, my only choices are the bookmarks toolbar, the bookmarks menu or the unsorted bookmarks. There is a "choose" icon, but when I click it, it give me a new window, but with the same 3 options listed above.
    All my folders imported fine, all my bookmarks are there. So, what did I do wrong? Thanks for any help!

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Stickies no longer save new data

    I've got a iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Ram running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. I have used stickies on this for a good two years with no problems. It has resided in the dock all that time.  Suddenly, when I add information to a stickie, exit and return - it is not there. If I add a new stickie with new information and come back to it after a power down, it is not there.  I've got two "steady state" stickies and that's it.  Any ideas on how to restore this program to full functionality? I have looked through the answers presently here, but none were 100% on target. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Adobe Reader can only save filled forms when this were enabled by Adobe Acrobat.

  • Can I save new bookmarks using Firefox to my imported IE Favorites List?

    I just installed Firefox as my browser and I imported my Favorites from IE. When I open the Bookmarks tab on Firefox I see my imported list at the bottom of the drop down. When I find something new to Bookmark, how do I get it to go into my previously established favorites list that was imported from IE? This list is extensive and itemized. Do I have to resave each and every one of my previous IE favorites to get the old and new on only one list? I sure don't want to have to work between two lists of Favorites / Bookmarks. Dan

    You can move the favorites in the "From Internet Explorer" to another bookmarks folder or leave them there.<br />
    If you click the star in the location bar to bookmark a link then you can click the yellow star a second time to open the "Edit this bookmark" dialog and move a bookmark to another folder.
