Where are Safari Bookmarks Saved for Restore?

I need to backup and reinstall MAC OS X but I have no idea where all my bookmarks from Safari are stored so I can be sure I don't lose them.
Thank You
Patrick

Hello patrick:
In answer to your question, I "think" they are in your home folder (~library>safari.... bookmarks.plist). However, I have never tested that premise.
If I were you, I would do an archive and install:

An A&I will install a fresh OS X while preserving your files, programs, and settings. A backup of everything is always a good idea before any software changes.
IMHO, there is almost NO reason to do an erase and install.

  • Are Safari bookmarks saved anywhere else besides Icloud

    Are Safari bookmarks backed up anywhere else besides Icloud
    I was moving bookmarks around tonight trying to orgize a bunch in different places and a hole folder with several sub folders dispeared out of no where.
    I do use time machine as a backup. Would Sarafri have a seprate book mark folder anywhere
    Can anyone suggest anything at all to try and get this back?
    any help is greatly apprechated

    Well said.
    You don't go chasing through the backup folders, you look at the current version of what you want restored, then Open Time machine right on top of it. the presentation changes to the "Star Wars" view of that window, receding in time.

  • Where are safari bookmarks stored

    need to locate  where in the system Safari stores the bookmarks file.

    You're right, AndyBall, I'd forgotten that one... Though plist files aren't easy to decrypt, and usually need Xcode installed to edit, this is where bookmarks settings are stored.
    Antonio, most of what you want to do with your bookmarks (edit names, URLs, delete them, etc...) can be done directly from Safari. What do you need to do with your bookmarks, exactly?

  • Safari Bookmarks were automatically restored after Disk Reformat and OS X Mountain Lion re-installation

    Hi to All,
    I was just wondering how my Safari Bookmarks were auto restored after I performed a Disk Erase/Reformat, and re-installed from scratch my OS X Mountain Lion. After my login into the new reformatted OS X Mountain Lion Disk, I noticed my old Bookmarks were there as before on the Safari Bookmarks Bar.
    I know this is not a priority support question But I was just wondering how this was done, so I may continue to learn about Mac OS X Mountain Lion and its features like Safari, iCloud, and so forth
    Thanks in advance for the feedback. Cheers!

    Thx! Linc Davis,
    I anticipated you will contribute to my question
    I know iCloud does it, but I was confused on whether iCloud does it automatically or if I did something to enable this feature. Would you please confirm?
    Thx & Cheers!

    Well, I have this printer too, and I get the following response from the System Prefs Printers and Scanners when I select to add this printer:
    "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software."
    When you go to the Epson website for this particular printer it says:
    "The latest drivers for this product are available only via Apple's Software Update."
    And finally, when you go to Software Update it says: "No updates available"
    I second OMT8.
    Yes, the driver file at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 allowed me to finally install my printer, but does Apple have _any idea_ how long it takes to download a 1.08GB file over a 1.5mbps DSL connection?
    Never mind how much of my pricey new SSD is being consumed by the resulting 1.80GB of driver files all for _one_ printer driver that should maybe occupy 200K?
    Or that the primary article on OS X printer drivers (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669) -- which does indicate that the Artisan 830 is supported -- does not mention or link to the driver file that's needed to make it work?
    Or what a complete violation of Apple's "it just works" gestalt it is to be confronted with the above Catch-22 and to have to search the web and then go through all of the above to make a new laptop talk to a two-year-old printer?
    Yes, my printer now works, and yes, Apple's Support Communities were instrumental in getting to this point. But spending all morning (plus download time) getting a printer driver installed tastes way too much like I paid for Apple and got Microsquish.

  • Where are my photos saved, how to archive photos

    Hello,
    currently I had imported photos from a camera to my MAC by using iPhoto import and event functionality. Now I would like to backup my photos by using rsync. But I can not find my photos as files on the disk.
    Where are my photos saved?
    I am a new MAC user with some expirience in Unix qnd Linux.
    Thank you in advance
    Bernhard

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Where are the bookmark records located?

    I am buying a new PC. I wish to use the same profile in my new download of Thunderbird. I plan to copy my existing Thunderbird profile and to import it into the new PC, so I can begin using Thunderbird quickly and effortlessly.

  • Where are the swipe preferences for calendar located

    Hi
    Where are the swipe preferences for calendar located?  Is it two fingers swipe down to goto the next month?
    Thank you in advance.

    I don't know that there are any preferences for setting what swiping does in the Calendar.
    Two finger swipes left and right skip months in month view. They skip weeks in week view. Two fingers up and down scroll up and down (which does nothing in month view).

  • Where are the profiles stored for Profile Manager.

    Where are the profiles stored for Profile Manager?
    I created a profile attached to a user group and then made the mistake of removing the group without first deleting the profile.
    Now the orphan profile can't be managed (it's no longer visible) and is still being pushed out to users.
    The group I deleted had another group as it's members.
    Example:
    Active Sync User Group was a member of VPN Group.
    VPN Group was deleted (it had the VPN settings payload)
    Profile with VPN settings are still pushed out to Active Sync User Group even though VPN Group no longer exists.
    I'm hoping I can manually remove this profile but I'm thinking it may be contained in Postgres. If that's the case I would appreciate any suggestions/methods to access the database to make modifications.
    Thanks

    The information/data for apps is stored together with the app in both the iPad and in the backup on your computer. When you drop a file in the file sharing section of apps it gets added to the backup and to the iPad. When you delete it it get deleted from the backup and from the iPad.

  • Experts - where are the main settings for country currency settings

    Hi
    where are the main settings for different country currency settings.
    Ex:
    us,canada and europe customers us$, canada $, europe euro,
    How the pricing will effect for different country customers?
    Any one can help me on this.
    Any documents on thes please send to [email protected]
    Thanks
    Kris

    You can find this in the following path.
    SPRO->GENERAL SETTINGS> SET COUNTRIES>DEFINE COUNTRIES-->
    Here countries have an ISO CODE
    Then
    SPRO->GENERAL SETTINGS>CURRENCIES-->CHECK CURRENCY CODES
    Here ISO codes mapped to currencies.
    If CCode currency = Customer master currency, then transactions will happens in that currency
    If CCode currency<> Customer master currency, then the exchange rate will come into play to convert customer currency to company code currency.
    And anway if you want a different currency from the country currency, you can mention that in ccode configuration. The presence of currency in company code configuration is must and hence configuration at country level is not needed I think
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the information crb79. After review of the skype application, I was able to locate two applications. We offer a Skype mobile and a Skype Mobile for VErizon.
