Safari Yosemite - Bookmarks Menu

Hi there,
I just wanted to know if anyone else was having this issue, and if there is an immediate solution. If I click the address bar, the bookmarks menu comes down as expected. When I continue to write something in the search bar (leading to a Google search), the bookmark menu remains on the screen (which is understandable, this isn't the problem). However, when I hit enter, I'm presented with my search in Google, but the bookmark menu is still ever-present.
I know you can close the menu with Esc, but this is quite a nitpick-y annoyance of mine. Does anyone have any answers?
Thank you!

Weird - I dont remember seeing this glitch. Ok I know its a hacneyed solution but does the behaviour go away on a reboot, and do you have any Safari extensions loaded?

  • In Safari, no Bookmarks menu for a managed account???

    Hi, all.
    Is there any way to have a Bookmarks MENU for a managed account, not just the Bookmarks Bar?
    Thanks!

    Double tap Home button and delete Safari and Mail from multitask bar that appears.
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • Unable to delete "Bookmarks Bar & Bookmarks Menu"

    I synced my bookmarks with IE for the first time and then I decided to sync Safari bookmarks which was successful but now I am left with two empty and useless folders called "Bookmarks Bar" from Safari and "Bookmarks Menu" from IE which I am unable to delete or move to the bottom of the Bookmarks menu. This is inconvenient, unsightly and takes up space.
    Can anyone tell me how to remove those folders? And are Apple aware of this error?

    It's not an error, per se. These are default bookmark folders on in Safari, and thus are transferred to the iPhone when you sync Safari bookmarks. If you are still syncing Safari bookmarks, they will always be there, and you cannot alter that. If you no longer want to sync Safari bookmarks, are the folders in your IE bookmarks? If so, delete them from there. Then, in iTunes in the Info tab (with the iPhone connected and selected in the devices list), scroll down to Advanced Options and check the box to replace bookmarks, then click Apply.

  • Osx 10.7.4   safari 6.0  when I add a new bookmark to the "bookmarks menu" it is added somewhere in the middle instead of at the end of the list.  this just started a few days ago after an update.  Has anyone else noticed this?.

    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.

  • SAFARI - Bookmarks Bar & Bookmarks Menu

    I don't rember if both of these folders existed on my virgin phone or if they came down with the sync but how do yuo delete a Bookmark bar which doesn't exist on iphone safari?
    Also how do you create folders on the iPhone?

    Just been pondering this myself. I've decided not to sync my bookmarks (having checked the box to allow Safari Bookmark syncing when I first bought the iPhone). I'm creating a new folder structure for bookmarks on my iPhone. However, I'd really love to get rid of the Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu folders. Clicking on Edit brings up the round delete icon next to all the other folders apart from these two and the History folder! Actually I wouldn't mind deleting the History folder as well, as I never use it. I thought perhaps I'd be allowed to delete these folders once I unchecked the Safari Bookmarks syncing in iTunes, but I still can't get the option to delete them. Anyone know if it's possible? Or is it a feature?

  • Removing 'Bookmarks Bar' and 'Bookmarks Menu' from Safari

    Since installing Mountain Lion on my MBP, I've had Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu folders added to my mobile safari. It's pretty annoying now with Reading List and History, that my mobile bookmarks start halfway down the page.
    Is there any way to remove them?

    My title bar with the ability to close windows is not available.  I must hold the cursor at the top of the page to see my title with time, etc.

  • Lost the contents of Bookmarks Menue, can i recover it from time capsule

    Mac OS 10.8.3/Safari 6.0.
    items previously in my Bookmarks Menu are no longer lited. Can they be recovered from Time Capsule, If so please explain how? Thank you.

    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    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. Restore the file from a backup that predates the unwanted changes. If you disabled sync, re-enable it and test.

  • Purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu

    What is the purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu under the show all bookmarks? What is a useful way to use the two? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    In Address Book, you have the option of entering a web site address in an individual's record. In Safari, by selecting Address Book in System Preferences>Bookmarks, you can access a list of these web addresses via either the Bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Bar.
    Entries in the Bookmarks Menu are one way to enter, sort or access specific bookmarks. My preference is to access my Bookmarks via the Bookmarks Bar. More information can be found via the Safari Help menu (enter Bookmarks in Help's spotlight panel.

  • 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.) 

  • Cannot rearrange Bookmarks Menu items

    Ever since I switched to Lion, I cannot rearrange the sites in my Bookmark Menu. I used to be able to click and drag items to rearrange them. Now when I do that, they stay put for a moment, then revert to their original position. Consequently, I have bookmarks I don't even need anymore at the top of my list, so I have to scroll through the list to find the bookmarks I need regularly.
    Did something change? All I can find is a "how to" article from 2012, but it recommends the same drag and drop method that used to work before I got Lion.
    I'm running 10.7.5 with Safari 6.1.3 on a late 2011 MacBook Pro.

    I just saw this in another post. It apparently worked for someone else, but for some reason I cannot send a reply or comment to get more info so I'll paste it here and then ask my questions:
    "With Bookmarks selected, select the Edit button at the bottom left. You can delete a bookmark, or re-arrange the bookmarks by selecting the icon at the far right of a bookmark and dragging the bookmark up or down placing it where you want in the list. You can also create a new folder by selecting New Folder at the bottom right. Select Done when finished."
    My questions are
    1) What do they mean by "with Bookmarks selected"? I have clicked the little book in the bookmark toolbar which opens the sidebar of bookmark lists. Is that what they mean?
    2) then they say to select the Edit button at the bottom left. I don't have an Edit button at the bottom left!!! All I have is a + sign, which I assume would create a new folder or something.
    3) they say you can create a new folder by selecting New Folder at the bottom right. I don't have any New Folder at the bottom right.
    4) they say select Done when finished. I don't have a Done anywhere.
    Do I have a corrupted version of Safari? I can usually find answers in the Discussion boards, but I feel like I have a different kind of Safari program than everyone else.

  • Import FF Bookmarks into Bookmarks MENU

    Hi all,
    Thinking about moving back to Safari 3.2 from FireFox. Wondering if there is a way to import my thousands of FF bookmarks into the Safari bookmark menu so I don't have to go to Show All Bookmarks or use Bookmarks as my startup page in order to access said bookmarks.
    Also, any thoughts as to why, when I log into Discussions with Safari, it will keep my log in name, but not my password, while FireFox always keeps both my log in name and password so I can just click one button to log in?
    Thanks

    Hi M,
    move them all to the Bookmark Menu group, which you can do from the sidebar of Show All Bookmarks.
    It seems like I remember one used to be able to do what you're suggesting, but my imported bookmarks are in a folder in the sidebar, and the Bookmarks Menu shows up as a blue icon, definitely not a folder. I'm looking for some way around opening every single address and then saving in to the Bookmarks Menu.
    The other problem you mentioned could be any number of things such as your Security preference settings, your Keychain, AutoFill problems, etc.
    Hmmm, as I said, it works fine with FireFox, and with any/all other protected sites I've tried . . . . I'm running 10.4.11 on an 867MHz TiBook with 768MB RAM.

  • TS4001 iCloud Syncs my Desktop Bookmark Bar items to my iOS Bookmark Menu, folders only

    I have all of my bookmarks in Safari on my desktop (OS X 10.7.5) via the Bookmark BAR - I have them organized in folders for ease, and I like it that way.
    When I use iCloud to sync Bookmarks to my iOS devices (iPad Retina and iPod Touch, latest iOS), the result is that I end up with a series of bookmark folders in the "Bookmark Menu (not the Bookmark Bar) that duplicates bookmarks and folders that I have on my iMac desktop in the Bookmark Bar.
    Problem 1.  I don't want them in the Bookmark Menu on my iOS devices, I want them in the Bookmark Bar so I can use them from the bar.
    Problem 2.  Even if I wanted to use what ends up on my iOS devices, I can't because none of the bookmarks in the folders are there, only a series of folders.  The only actual bookmarks that are on my iOS devices are those that are not in folders - and again, those few are in the Bookmark Menu, not the Bookmark Bar.
    Can anyone help with this?
    iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011; 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X Lion 10.7.5
    iPod Model PC544LL/A; version 6.1.3
    iPad Model MD515LL/A; version 6.1.3

    So what you are saying is that if I save a url on my desktop Mac as a Boomark Bar item, it SHOULd sync to the Bookmark Bar on my iOS devices?  That was the issue I was complaining about.  It was not.  Please confirm that because I am only assuming that from your last paragraph above.
    As for the whole duplicate thing, from my searching the forums today I realize that is a common "issue" people are complaining about - that their bookmark bar items are also showing in the bookmark menu.  I think that is what you were referring to.
    So I did try your set of steps in your last paragraph above and they did not work.  In fact, nothing seemed to sync except the test Boomark Bar folder addition I made on my iPad which synced to my iPod touch.  Other than that, nothing else synced from my Desktop - neither in my Bookmark Bar or my Boomark Menu.
    Posbily related - Unforntunately, becasue I was having this problem earlier and also had noticed the whole issue with the fact I had all of the same folders on my Desktop Bookmark Menu as I had in my Desktop Bar - I tried to solve that issue by deleting all of the items under my Bookmark Menu, and now I do not have anything in that folder except:
    Recent Tags
    Recently Bookmarked
    Get Bookmark Add-ons
    Feeds (folder with items in it)
    Unsorted Bookmarks (folder empty)
    Is that part of my problem now?
    Thanks,

  • Bookmarks no longer show under Bookmarks menu

    While I was using Safari I lost my bookmarks via clicking the bookmarks menu item. They're still there by clicking the open book in the toolbar. CCC was running at the time.
    How do I get bookmarks back under the menu?
    Geoff

    I am having problems with this same thing. I go to add bookmark and it does not show up under the bookmark menu (ie. I saved a bookmark to my son's high school, under the kids menu option). It doesn't show up to be able to be selected. When I go to show all bookmarks it's there.
    Why is this happening? My hard drive just died, I had a new one installed with new system folder (but I am still running 10.4... I like being able to access classic) I've done the updates for Safari and am now running 4.0.4.
    Any suggestions on how to get my bookmarks to appear again would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks!!

  • Deleting "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu" folders from Bookmarks

    Hi all,
    I synched my Safari Bookmarks...really didn't need to and now I don't want these "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu" folders. Why can't I delete them?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Both of these menus can be deleted from Safari's iPhone bookmarks menu but the process is a little involved and requires the use of Property List Editor for the Developer Tools package.
    If you have this, chances are you already know what to do, but otherwise you will need to download the Developer Tools package from Apple (and even on a fast connection) it is probably quicker to reload your iPhone from scratch.
    But just in case:
    1a) Quit Safari on your computer.
    1b) with you iPhone sync'd to iTunes, unselect the sync automatically box. (You can go back later, just do it for now.)
    2) Navigate to ~/Library/Safari/Booksmarks.plist file.
    3) Make a copy and rename it Bookmarks(original).plist. This is your backup file in case things go wrong.
    4) Launch Safari.
    5) Create a new folder called Bookmarks, or whatever you want your top level Bookmarks folder to be on your iPhone.
    6) Drag all folders and urls that you want for you iPhone into this folder.
    7) Arrange it the way that you want. You can also do this on the iPhone, but it is easier to do it here, than on the phone.
    8) QUIT SAFARI AND DO NOT RELAUNCH IT. (This is important, because you are going to edit this file to remove those folders and Safari will recreate them if you launch it.)
    9) Open your Bookmarks.plist file in the Property List Editor.
    10) Navigate to the Children arrow and expand.
    11) Select the "0" item and delete (That is the Bookmarks bar, or Bookmarksbar menu that Safari hard codes to the bookmarks list)
    12) Select the "1" item and also delete (This is the BookmarksMenu item)
    13) If you poke around in this file, you will notice the History, RSS feeds, and your top level menu that you created in #5.
    14) Save the modifications and close the Bookmarks.plist file, (save changes if prompted).
    15) DO NOT LAUNCH SAFARI (just a reminder)
    16) Launch iTunes and select the iPhone, DO NOT SYNC IT YET.
    17) Select the info tab, and scroll to the Web Browser section and select the "Sync Safari bookmarks" checkbox.
    18) Scroll to the Advanced section and select the "Bookmarks" checkbox.
    19) Click "Apply" and "Sync"
    20) wait for sync to complete.
    21) remove iPhone from cradle and check your Safari bookmarks. You should be good to go with the iPhone's Safari and its bookmarks, however you are not done yet.
    22) THIS IS IMPORTANT. For this modification to last, you have to go back to iTunes.
    23) reinstall the iPhone on the cradle, AGAIN DO NOT SYNC.
    24) go back to the "Sync Safari bookmarks" checkbox and unselect it. Then click the "Apply" button again. This will prevent Safari on your computer from syncing to Safari on your iPhone. If you ever do, with this box checked, those two pesky menus will reappear.
    25) You are done.
    Hope this helped,
    zac
