Thousands of safari bookmarks created with lion upgrade

Hi,
Since upgrading to lion OS, thousands of bookmark folders have been created in safari (maybe 50,000) which takes about 30-60s to load. They all have the same name 'Links', but are all empty.
Is there any way to delete these folders at once, while keeping my original bookmarks (maybe about 300).
THanks

Hi..
If you have iCloud enabled...
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deslect the box next to Bookmarks then reselect it then restart your Mac.

  • How do safari bookmarks sync with lion

    My iPhone and MacBookPro Lion sync my Safari bookmarks perfectly.  I just don't know how it does it?  Cannot find anything online that discusses it.  I know iCloud doe smy contacts, calenar, etc but doe snot appear to do Safara bookmarks.

    First question, you would have to re-publish to get the link in a nice "share" button.
    But I think it would be easier to go to your gallery (on the web not iphoto) click on the video/album you want to share and at the top near the center click on "tell a friend"
    I hope this answers the first question.
    Second question: you decide privacy when you publish.

  • Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

    Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

    Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC.  It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
    For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

  • Unable to see pdf files with Lion upgrade

    Since upgarding to Lion I've been unable to see my bank e-statements in Safari or Firefox. When the pdf file appears to load the result is a black statement in Safari and a white screen in Firefox. A right click does not allow me to download the file for viewing. When I spoke with their electronic support the said they have had many calls regarding this problem with newest OS X Lion upgrades. His suggestion was to uninstall or remove Adobe Reader v10.1.1 and allow Safari to read the files. Has anyone found a solution to this problem rather than completely abandoning Adobe Reader?

    Hi BDAqua,
    Thanks for the info, I dragged a PDF to desktop ctrl-, get info. change all to open with adobe.
    Problem solved, many thanks for a quick response.

  • IMac 27" with Lion upgrade ... daily hangs! Need help and support

    Dear Apple,
    Mid-July we got an iMac27" with Snow Leopard installed. First week of August I upgraded to Lion via web download (from Apple Store).
    Since then the iMac has frequently hung. It goes in two stages: 1) the cursor gets round with rolling colors for some time (the "force quit" or "shutdown" menu selections cannot be accessed because the mouse gets inactive for clicks), then 2) the cursor gets in the middle of the screen and resembles the gray round that rotates when the iMac starts up (but without the gray apple above it this time) ... it stays in that mode indefintely. I then have to shut it down via the back lower left button and start again. Now it goes into that "routine" almost daily.
    All softwares are up-to-date. I have also performed three of four times now the "Alt at start" manoeuvre, check disk and permissions with repair.
    Is it because of the Lion upgrade (instead of a fresh install)? (If so, how do I perform a fresh install and keep all settings/preferences.) Is it hardware-related ... although it looks like working quite good? Is it software-related ... how to clean everything?
    In case such issue has not yet come up I will need to call the Apple help center. Can a phone number be provided? Thanks.
    Regards.
    Pierre

    Your situation sounds identical to mine. But, with a 27" 2010 iMac and a 2009 Mac pro. Constant freezes, hangs, programs not quiting, unable to restart , shutdown.
    I did a full re-install of Lion on both the iMac and Mac pro, including a full initialization of he disk, and, instead of migrating all my apps and data from time capsule, I individually re-installed each app.
    Nada!..same problem..
    On this past Monday, I reformatted my Macpro and re-installd Snow Leopard - it works perfect now!
    Lion has got to be the worst product Apple has ever released. I have no idea why it works on so many Macs, when it seems to be so bad on many as well.

  • CS3: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS with Lion Upgrade

    Hi:
    My trusty Adobe Photoshop CS3 has quit working with the upgrade to Lion on my Intel iMac.
    Specifically, when I try and launch it now I get "Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem ..."
    I went to this site for advice: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html
    I followed Solution 1: Delete the FlexNet Publisher preferences folder
    It didn't work.
    Now I'm trying Solution 2: Run the License Repair Tool
    I get to step 5g and type:
    sudo python /Volumes/LicenseRecovery\ 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app
    I enter my PW.
    Then I consistently get an error that reads:
      File "/Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app", line 1
    SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xfe' in file /Volumes/LicenseRecovery 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
    Can anyone help? Thank you very much!

    This worked for me (Mac OS) :
    1) you should have opened the LicenceRecovery111.dmg file and you should see in the LicenseRecovery directory a file named LicenseRecover.py
    2) clic on the right of the mouse, do a copy of the LicenseRecover.py and renamed it at the end .pyOld
    3) find in your Mac in the applications the Smultron.app editor (you may need to use a text editor that keeps encoding of the file when it read and save it, Smultron seems to do that), launch Smultron
    4) in Smultron do menu : file - open and find, in the LicenceRecovery directory, the file named LicenseRecover.py chose it to open it.
    In the options, I did not have to chose, because the default encoding (Occidental Mac OS Roman) worked for me (with menus in english then), but I think you may chose in the option when you open the file the coding : UTF-8
    4) the first line in the LicenseRecover.py file was 
    # encoding: utf-8
    . replace it by
    # --*-- coding: utf-8 --*--
    . save the file
    5) try to re-execute the process as mentionned (sudo python ...)

  • 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.

       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”.

  • Can't get safari to open with lion.  Any ideas?

    Hi,  Have been struggling to with lion and safari.  Feel like I'm on a safari.  Can't get safari to open. When it does, crashes immediately.  Any ideas?

    Nasty.  I have some ideas:
    Can you open Safari in a different user account? (that will help to determine if it is a corrupt install or something systemwide).
    Do you have any 3rd party add-ons for Safari?  Try disabling them.

  • Trouble with Lion upgrade: 2009 Mac Mini not rebooting.

    Hi folks,
    I'm having trouble with the Lion upgrade. My 2009 Mac Mini (running Snow Leopard) won't reboot. Everything looked fine, but it just went black after the gray and white Apple symbol screen on the restart and I can't get it to get past this. I should mention I'm using wireless keyboard and trackpad (both Apple) and a Philips HDTV via HDMI cable as monitor. Any thought? Looking forward to using Lion.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Is anyone else having this problem (an infinite loop of "You need to restart your computer" messages)?
    Any thoughts or suggestions? I don't know how I can fix the problem, since I can't properly boot into the OS. I tried holding down the shift button to boot into Safe mode, only to achieve the same results.
    Any help would be much appreciated. I'm really looking forward to using Lion.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • I have Safari 5.1 with LION but whenever I quit safari and then reopen all windows I had opened previously reopen instead of just my home page. Anyone know why?

    I have downloaded Lion and Safari 5.1. Whenever I open Safari it should open to my home page. It does but when I close Safari if I had mre tha one window opened then all those windows reopen instead of just my homepage. Or if I close the windows first then quit Safari and reopen it will reopen to whatever the last page opened was instead of my home page. Help?

    If you upgraded to Lion v10.7...   Lion does not support Power PC apps.

  • Lost ical events with lion upgrade...how do I find them?

    Does anyone know how to get all ical events to appear in ical after a lion upgrade?

    This may not help but, I've reached a point where I'll backup everything before ANY kind of upgrade or update and I'll even have two sets of Time Machine backups. I guess you'll have to restore forgetting about the upgrade and retry after refreshing the backup on a SECOND drive, don't allow yur current backup to start a new session at all, you may loose it. Maybe too late, but I just saw this now. Good Luck!

  • Problem with Lion upgrade after running Migration Assistant

    I have a MacBook Pro that I purchased earlier this year.  I bought a new MacBook Air yesterday. 
    I used Migration Assistant to migrate some of my data/settings from my old MacBook Pro to the new MacBook Air.  After the migration, all of my original data was still available on the MacBook Pro (good as I wanted to keep a copy on the MacBook Pro and not all data was migrated).  The new MacBook Air received all the right data and is working well.
    I then purchased a Lion upgrade for my MacBook Pro and started the installation process.  The installation process seemed to be going fine, but the MacBook Pro eventually hung.  I let it "run" overnight hoping that it would finish the process, but the machine was still hanging a day later.  I forced the MacBook Pro to shut down using the power button.  Now, when I restart the MacBook Pro, I get the "Mac OS X Utilities" screen asking if I want to Restore from Time Machine Backup, Reinstall Mac OS X, Get Help Online, or Disk Utility.  Does this mean my data is not longer available on the MacBook Pro?  Also, I do/did have the MacBook Pro connected to a Time Machine and it had up-to-date backups at the time I ran Migration Assistant.  However, I noticed that after running Migration Assistant, the MacBook Pro was complaining that it was no longer connect to the Time Machine. 
    My instinct tells me that I should attempt to restore the MacBook Pro using the Time Machine backup, but I'm wondering if it might be able to revive the MacBook Pro without having to take that step.  Or, maybe I should select the "Reinstall Mac OS X" option first?  Any ideas?
    If I need to use the Time Machine backup, do I need to do anything special given the post Migration Assistant behavior I described above?
    Thanks for any advice!

    How can I fool Time Machine into using the original Backup Folder and just doing an incremental backup?
    You can't. after using MA on it you have to start a new backup sequence. you can change computer name in Sharing preferences to anything you like but it won't affect TM backups.

  • Is Safari 7 compatible with Lion?

    I started noticing a few days ago that I was unable to play flash videos (error message "flash out of date").  When I went to Youtube it said that I needed a more current version of my browser.  The problem is that I have a late 2007 Macbook running Lion and I have been told repeatedly by the Genius Bar that I can't upgrade my operating system further because my computer is too old.  The other message boards I've seen had conflicting information about whether I can somehow download Safari 7 on such an old operating system.  Would it maybe be easier just to start using a different browser?

    Your machine is too old to get a newer version of Safari.
    Start using a different browser.
