Why are my safari bookmarks still present after a fresh install?

I've just done a fresh install of osx to clean things up a little and I've just noticed that my bookmarks in safari are still saved.Is there a way of doing a fresh install with ALL of my personal data erased?
I believe I did it correctly by rebooting with "cmd" and "r" pressed,then erasing my hard drive with disk utility and then reinstalling OSX.

If you’re given the option to do so, don’t give the computer your iCloud account information or uncheck the box for Safari. If desired, you can later sign out of iCloud or turn the option off from the iCloud pane of System Preferences.

  • Why are my Safari bookmarks multiplying?

    When I open up my Bookmarks lists in Safari, I see now they have started multiplying, invariably with more of the same ones that I already have.  Why is this, I only want one of each bookmarked website, not more than one?  Running Lion 10.7.5 with safari 6.0.2 on both my Macbook Pro and iMac.

  • Why are my rejected photos still visible after I delete them?

    I am not an advanced LR user by any means, so I'm hoping I can get some insight here. When I go through my photos, I first reject them. I take a look at all of my rejected ones, then I select the "delete rejected photos" option and then "remove from disk."
    When I go to my "All Photographs" collection, I can still see all of my rejected photos, except they are grayed out. Why is this? I don't want to see them anymore, I'd like them to be gone forever!
    Any help you can give would be great. Thank you!

    I think we will need some more information.
    What do you mean by "All Photographs" collection?
    Is it a regular collection?
    Is it a smart collection?
    When you created the collection did you choose to create virtual copies?

  • TS3408 After I update my website, why doesn't Safari reflect this-even after emptying cache? (Chrome does)

    After I update my website, why doesn't Safari reflect this-even after emptying cache? (Chrome does). Any help would be great. I am a web developer and need to reload the page constantly to see changes, I can't have it be that safari takes a day to refelct changes-it used to happen instantly, what has changed?

    It probably says more about MySpace than Safari but anyway you could try the latest nightly build of Safari's Webkit web browser engine. I always use this now and find it offers greater all round performance.
    Try it and see if it helps.
    Just click the big 'Download Nightly builds' button on this page.
    http://webkit.org/
    In case you don't know, you just run the webkit application instead of Safari but in use it will seem no different than Safari because all you're doing is running an updated version of the rendering engine in Safari. Safari 3.1 remains untouched and you can switch back to that if you wish.

  • My Macbook is running on OS 10.5.8. However, I forgot my admin password. I would like to find out if I can use OS 10.6 CD to reset the admin password while upgrading OS? Also, will all my files be still present after upgrade??

    1. Should be possible to do that; go to the Utilities menu and select 'reset password' before starting the installer. (while booted from the DVD of course)
    2. Standard installation of SL only replaces system components; applications, user data and preference settings should not be affected.
    3. But you do have a backup just in case, don't you?

  • Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBookPro ?

    Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion ? I have mid-2009 MBPro and have very fast Internet access router.

    I have noticed the same thing on my MAC.  Mail has become very "clunky"- Before Mountain Lion, whenever I clicked on a msg or a function (delete), it would respond immediately.  With Mountain Lion there is an unacceptable hesitation.  What is going on with this latest update?

  • Why won't my Mac Pro sleep after Lion is installed?

    Why won't my Mac Pro sleep after Lion is installed?

    Tell us, what hardware add ons?
    old software? that required PowerPC/Rosetta maybe.
    Look for any apps, process that used powerpc and look for updates, check out RoaringApps for a table of Lion compatible programs
    does it happen iwth a clean install?
    how about if you do a Safe Boot?

  • IWork is not working on Yosemite after a fresh install from the disk

    Hi,
    I've freshly install yosemite on my computer.
    I first reinstalled my computer with original Snow Leopard and then made the upgrade to Yosemite.
    After that I used the Migration Assistant to transfert my old applications.
    Most of them are now running perfectly but I'm still facing issues with iWork.
    It refuses to launch with a message error saying that "Pages" for example is not working with this version of Mac OS and I should make al available update.
    There are indeed updates available from the App store but I can't download them because it is not available for my apple ID because someone else bought it or I cancelled the buying ?!
    It's strange because I bought it with my Macbook Pro in 2010 and even after a fresh install from the disk, the message is still the same...
    Any idea how to unlock these updates?

    Actually this doesn't explain everything.
    I finally reinstalled Snow Leopard / iWork 09' and then upgraded to Yosemite and everything is working like a charm.
    This issue has something to do with the use of the "Application migration tool" from Mac Os X Yosemite to collect old applications to the new os from another installation...
    I solved my issue this way because I don't have very valuable applications that I want to transfert but for other users, this could be a real issue...
    Thanks a lot for your answer

  • IMac - will my raid set be recognized after a fresh install?

    I  own an iMac late 2012 and I installed an external raid with two Lacie thunderbolt disks. Will my raid be recognized after a fresh install of mavericks?
    Software  OS X 10.9.1 (13B42),
    Grafica  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB
    Memoria  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Processore  2,9 GHz Intel Core i5

    Is this a RAID 0 (mirror) or RAID 1 (striped) setup?
    While I am by no means a RAID expert, it seems to me that if you have a software RAID of two external HDs (i.e. set up via Disk Utility or other software), then a fresh (clean) install of OS X would no longer recognize the RAID.
    Doing a clean install would wipe OS X's knowledge of the software RAID and you would have to set it up again.  You can certainly set up the software RAID again, but I suspect that would re-initialize the RAID setup on the hard drives and probably wipe previous data.  There IS a Rebuild option, but I have no idea if that would work in a case where you freshly install OS X.
    On the other hand, I believe that upgrading OS X (rather than freshly installing the operating system) would preserve the software RAID setup.
    Regardless of how you upgrade or reinstall OS X,  back up your data first.

  • Why do my Safari bookmarks appear to all accounts?

    Since installing Mountain Lion, all bookmarks in my Safari bookmarks bar now appear in each of the other account user Safari bookmark bars - and theirs appear in mine!  ***?  If I delete a bookmark of mine in my Daughters account, it deletes it in mine.  This isn't good, surely!?  Can I stop this from happening?  Thanks for any help, y'all. 

    Thanks for the swift responses everyone. 
    I've unchecked Safari in System Prefs/iCloud in both my account and the other user accounts 
    I have reset all Safaris. 
    My bar is still showing up in the other Safaris. 
    None of the other users have iCloud accounts, only me (the administrator)
    Am I being a dope?

  • Why are my Jpg files so small after being saved from Nef

    Hi,
    I am finally posting after months of trying to figure out why my images are saving so small, some 4mb after converting from Nef to Jpg.
    I am shooting with a Nikon D4s and came from a D800. I was spoilt with really large file sizes and now I am freaking out because my jpegs are so small.
    I am checking all the right boxes as far as I can see to save the jpg as large as I can, and I am not cropping the images before saving as Jpg.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I can't understand why a camera as amazing as the D4s is giving me such small files. I have read everywhere that my files need to be over 6mb to be classed as high res.
    The only thing that I can think of is maybe I am pushing my nefs too hard in camera raw/lightroom resulting in a loss of quality? Although my exposure is correct 90% of the time so Im only playing with highlights or luminance.
    Can anyone walk me through the process of what I should be doing so I can end this headache!
    Thanks in advance!

    Images are 16pm (4928x3280px as you say), and the doc is 48mb.
    So here's where I really show myself up... am I right in assuming that the more adobe compresses an image the lower the mb is on the final file, meaning if there is less detail (i.e. the low-key image is predominately black) then the jpeg will be smaller. Does this affect the print quality?
    4mb seems very low res to me. How can I retain as much of the information as possible? Do you think I should sharpen more to retain detail? Or does it even matter and I'm fretting over nothing!
    Okay. The file dimensions are fine, so we're talking purely about content and compression.
    As I already said, the low-key image contains very little data in the first place (lots of black and no colour), so it compresses well.  The dreamy woman image contains a lot of plain blue sky and out-of-focus background, so that compresses well too. No surprises there.
    Have you got any more detailed images with greater depth of field? Try creating a JPEG of that and see how big the file is.
    An Adobe JPEG Quality setting of 12 means minimum compression and therefore maximum file size. But, even so, if you saved an image which was just a single plain colour, you would find that the resulting JPEG would be just a few kB. This is how compression works.
    The lower the quality number is set, the higher the compression, the more detail is lost, and the more JPEG artefacts are created in the image.  You are already saving at 12 quality, which is the highest setting, so you are minimising any problems with detail. You should save as TIFF if you want absolutely no loss of detail, but the file sizes are much bigger.
    4MB is not a resolution. Think of it as packing a suitcase. If you're taking lots of books, you won't get the lid down. If you're taking lots of soft woollen sweaters, you can take lots. 4MB is an indication of the space that your packed image takes—if it's made of light fluffy stuff then it will be a smaller suitcase! :-)
    You should sharpen your images the same as any other. Large areas of plain or out-of-focus background need not be sharpened. You're okay. Stop worrying!

  • IWeb 3.0.4 problem under Lion X: Why are my movies unable to play after publishing web-site?

    No problems with the above running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  Under Lion, I can place movies during the edit phase, set up quicktime to autoplay, and test it and it plays.  After publishing the site, the movies do not play.  Sometimes a note saying that "a plugin is not available" appears in the movie window.  Could this be a Quicktime problem?  The movies were placed in iWeb using iTunes from the Media Display and are .m4v files edited in iMovie. The web-site works on iMacs running 10.6.8, and on PC's.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Thanks QTKirk. Tried the web site under firefox 5.0 and the movies played!  Not sure about the DivX extension for Safari.  There is something called 3ivx on my machine that has something to do with Mpeg.  Could you give me the steps to remove this from Safari, assuming that it is the extension you were talking about?  How would I see what extensions are in Safari?  I'm labeling your response with the correct answer to my problem because either way --- I can always use firefox if I can't get Safari straightened out.  Many thanks!
