Where are my Safari bookmarks located in time machine?

I did a clean install of Lion, and want to import only my bookmarks from timemachine.
Where can I find the bookmarks? I can't find /Library/Safari, or bookmarks.plist.

From the Finder menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... and enter
~/Library/Safari
in the text box that opens. A Finder window will open. Enter Time Machine and restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that window.

    I restored my safari bookmark playlist from time machine.But it again missing after sometime.Again I restored the same thing happns again.plz help

    Triple-click the text on the line below to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Quit Safari.
    Select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, 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.
    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.

  • Where are the actual files on the  Time Machine backup hard drive?

    If I take my time machine back up hard drive and hook it up to another computer, I cannot find my files. For instance, the files that would be in my home folder (pictures, music and movies).
    When I open the finder window and go to my user folder, all I see are the folders, but they are aliases.
    I get the message that the volume "documents" cannot be found.
    So where are these files?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am not running leopard on the other computers, and so Time Machine is not available.
    On the other computers, I need to have classic support, so I haven't installed Leopard, so that is not an option.
    I just don't understand why these files do not show up on other computers. At some level, if I can't access the files on other computers, it nearly defeats the purpose of Time Machine.

  • Where are my backed up photos in Time Machine?

    I'm trying to retrieve some photos that I have backed up in Time Machine but they are not there. Here is what I've been doing.
    1. open up iTunes
    2.turn on my external hard drive.
    3. Go to File>browse Backups
    I can always see the photos in my library in time machine "Today" , but when I try to view the library from earlier backups it just says "loading photos" but no photos ever load.
    What is going on here? Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm trying to retrieve some photos that I have backed up in Time Machine but they are not there. Here is what I've been doing.
    1. open up iTunes
    I assume you mean iPhoto not iTunes - you do want to use iPhoto for photos
    2.turn on my external hard drive.
    I've not done this but since yo have having problems I would have the drive on before launching iPhoto (although it really should not make a difference)
    3. Go to File>browse Backups

    How long have you waited? How is your TM drive connected? Is it possible that youare not waiting long enough?

  • Where are Mail e-mails, Safari bookmarks located?

    My MacBook Pro was having problems (constant restarting, no desktop) yesterday so I ran Disk Utility from the Leopard Install disk. A few permissions and disk errors were repaired. I ran the utility again twice and both times no errors. But I still kept getting the constant restarts, so I did and Archive and Install. No problems this time, computer rebooted fine. However, when I open Mail all my previous e-mails are not in the account, nor are my Safari bookmarks.
    This did not happen when I upgraded my four other Macs to Leopard. Is there a location where they might be found, and how do I do this?
    TIA,
    John

    Your mail is in Library/Mail. If you go in there and delete the Envelope Index file (while Mail is not running) the next time you launch it it will offer to re-import your mail.
    Your Safari bookmarks are in Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

  • Where are my important files located in Leopard 10.5?

    I had an old file from apple titled "Where are my important files located?" which applied to 10.3. I could not find this same doc for 10.5. It had the location of all the important files for safari, mail, address book, etc. and was handy when I was mirgrating files or backing up or so forth. Is there now an updated file/doc for this with regards to 10.5 Leopard? Or is every important file's location still located in the same location? Thanks

    Hi Teal,
    I'm a big "foggy" on a lot of the OS X 10.3 "Panther" stuff but I think you'll find OS X 10.5 to be pretty similar in most regards.
    As far as your user information, everything related to your user will be in the /Users/username location. The "Library" folder is probably the most important when it comes to application related data such as Safari, Mail, Address Book, iCal, etc. Some applications will have a folder directly inside the library folder (/Users/Username/Library/ApplicationName) and some will store data in the Application Support folder (/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/ApplicationName)
    The important thing, is that all of your user data is stored in the /Users/Username location that will often be represented by a "House" icon when signed into that user.
    Where it gets a little tricky, is some applications will store data in the /Users/Shared location and the /Library location. So if you ever do a total system migration there's a possibility you'll need to reinstall some applications. A Time Machine backup can assist with system migrations as it does a full and complete backup of your HD, including the User's home folder.

  • Where are the MetaData Templates located in PS C6 on a Mac?

    Where are the MetaData Templates located in PS C6 on a Mac that you can add your contact and copyright information to?
    On a Windows machine they are located in Owner/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/XMP.  I have some templates that I want to copy from a Windows laptop over to a Macbook Pro.
    Thanks, Bill

    I’m on Mac OS 10.6.8 and there it seems to be
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Metadata Templates
    I think as of OS 10.7 Macintosh hides the Library, but one can get there by alt-clicking the Go-menu and selecting it from there … or something.

    Where are the individual files located in iphoto, thanks for your help

    They are all stored in the iPhoto Library.  You would need to examine its contents to see them separately (outside of iPhoto).

  • "The storge location for time machine backups can't be found"

    I posted this on the TIme capsule forum and got no reply. PLEASE somebody, I need help with this.
    Time machine on my new MBP (Leopard 10.5.2) is now failing on my new Time Capsule and I am unable to connect to my backups. Whenever I open Time Machine I get the error message: "The storge location for time machine backups can't be found"
    I've tried rebooting, going into "Set up time machine" and changing the disk to none and then back to both the Time capsule Volume and the Time capsule backup volume (should there be 2?).
    I AM able to open the Time Machine Drive through Finder.
    Has there been a recent update which renders Time Machine useless?

    I don't have an answer, but I get this error when I try to mount the sparcebundle to my hd to try to get Time Machine to mount as stated in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1329.
    I've had this problem before I upgraded to 10.5.3

  • Backup hard drives in two locations and Time Machine

    Can I have an external hardrive at work and one at home and have them both be separate locations for Time Machine to backup my laptop? How does Time Machine handle that and what is the procedure to set this up?

    Yes, but you must tell Time Machine each time you "swap" drives, via +Time Machine Preferences > Select Disk.+
    All you have to do is make sure each is formatted properly. See #5 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for instructions.
    In this case, it will be a good idea to give them clearly different names, such as "Work Backups" and "Home Backups," so you're sure at any time which one is which.
    The first backup to each one will be a full one, so they'll take a while. Thereafter, Time Machine's next backup will include all the changes made since the last backup +*to that disk,+* so each one will be complete.

  • The storage location for Time Machine backups can't be found

    I recently purchased a Time Capsule and have successfully backed-up both a PC (via ethernet) and my MacBookPro via wireless. However, after a few hours of inactivity on my MacBook Pro, the Time Capsule icon on my desktop is gone. When I launch Time Machine, I get the following message:
    "The storage location for Time Machine backups can't be found". I have browsed the forums and noticed some answers to similar queries to check the "Remember password" option when establishing the connection. I do not have this option when I reconnect. What am I missing?

    Glasses,
    It does work! I have successfully use DW on my TC both wirelessly and via ethernet. Ethernet is of course much quicker. And I have run into more DW errors trying wirelessly, so I avoid that method whenever possible. As for other NAS device - I wouldn't know.
