Why Bookmarks Bar and Menu both? Seem to be the same.

Have extensive collections in Bookmarks Bar with numerous bookmarks in each collection. What will Bookmarks Menu do that Bar won't?

What will Bookmarks Menu do that Bar won't?
Allow you to have less stuff on your window if you so desire.

  • 5.1.3 Restoring bookmarks bar and menu ?

    I'm running Safari 5.1.3 on imac on 10.7.3
    I just synced my ipad to computer.
    On my bookmarks bar on the ipad I had only 2 bookmarks. On the computer I had a whole bunch. Same with bookmarks menu.
    After the sync, on my computer, it had deleted all the bookmarks on my bookmarks bar, and only left me the 2 that were on the ipad. Same with bookmarks menu.
    Seems to have affected bookmarks bar and menu only. Rest of bookmarks are OK.
    I have an external backup drive and backed up a week ago. But, have never had to restore anything.
    What's the procedure to restore the bookmarks bar and menu in Safari, using time machine?
    Thanks.

    The only way is to restore from a useful backup, if you have one.
    If you sync the iPad to iTunes and use Time Machine regularly, you would likely have the appropriate backup to restore from. In that case:
    Restore the iPad backup set from Time Machine from a date before you overwrote the bookmarks. The location of the backup is ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ (you can get to it by pressing Cmd+Shift+G in the Finder and entering this path).
    Connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from the backup.
    If you use iCloud Backup, then you can restore from iCloud and choose which date's backup you'd like to restore from. You can check if you're using iCloud Backup by opening the Settings app on the iPad, then going to the iCloud submenu and looking at the status right below "Storage & Backup", where it would say "iCloud Backup is off." (or "iCloud Backup is on.", as the case may be).
    In any case, keep in mind that restoring from a backup means you lose all application data changes after the date of the backup.
    Also see Restoring from a previous iCloud backup.

  • Repetition in Bookmarks Bar and Menu Sidebar, shifting in MenuBar,

    I am seeing deleted bookmarks return as well as it seems a neverending growth and repetetion of my bookmarks since 5.1.2 update and numerous repeats in the bookmarks bar and menu. See attached screenshot. Yes, I used MobileMe and have been using iCloud since so I suspect it is related.
    Thanks for any thoughts

    Actually, it just keeps growing. Even more repetition today. I have emptied cache, reset Safari, replaced the bookmark.plist file with an older Time Machine backup and within minures it starts repopulating and starts all over again growing in duplications. This has to be iCloud related in my opinion. If not, where is it coming from.
    It seems various threads with different descriptions of the same problem or a variant of bookmarks and menubar issue are being addressed in this Safari forum, and most just started seeing this it seems in the last several weeks but not before the 5.1.2 update.
    Does anyone else think so? This appears to need Apple Support attention at an advanced level, as all the suggestions, while great to have and try, they are not working. I'll bet this issue is very widespread, just not observed or reported yet.

  • Bookmark bar and menu stop working after awhile on Firefox 12

    I have upgraded to Firefox 12. Everything works fine when I start up Firefox, but after some amount of use (and I can't always reproduce this) eventually when I click on bookmarks in my Bookmark Bar or from the Bookmark menu, nothing happens. Firefox doesn't load the bookmark. If I open the "Show All Bookmarks" window and click on bookmarks there, they load fine and then the menu and bookmark bar suddenly start working again. If I close the "Show All Bookmarks" window the Bookmark Bar and menu stop working again.

    Hi ischou,
    I haven't heard of this particular issue, but you might want to try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. Let is sit for a while as you described above and if you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I love the 6th Gen. iPod Nano but it has a major deficiency, the power button. I've bought 2 and they both have given me the same issue of the power button becoming slack and not functioning. Why is this so, and how can I fix it??

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same emails. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion?

    I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same email. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion? I am totally stuck now.

    By the sounds of it you have linked Email Accounts, if so this means that you will both recieve the majority of the same Emails, and if you do and you read them on your account (which is linked with your husbands) then they will appear to read on the both of them because they are linked. With the majority of Email providers these days they're Emails are (simplified) in the cloud you could say, meaning that if you read or delete shared Emails then it will do the same on both accounts rather than just the yours.
    I hope all that made sense, sorry that I couldn't be of anymore assistance.. If you havent already try googling your problem - you may find some answers on there

    What do you mean he chose his and your number during setup. Chose them for what? Is you number showing up in the Settings>Messages>"You can be reached by imessage at" section? If it is he needs to remove it.

  • My new Apple TV won't be recognized by my IPhone Air-Play. I made sure the home sharing is on and that both Devises are I the same network..

    My new Apple TV won't be recognized by my IPhone Air-Play. I made sure the home sharing is on and that both Devises are I the same network. The IPhone see the other two Apple TVs at my house, but for some reason it won't see the third one I just added.

    Check to see if AirPlay is actually turned on.  (in Settings on the ATV)
    Also, make sure it's not sitting directly next to your router; interference

  • I have 2 iphone 4s on my account and they both now ring at the same time

    Mine and my son's iphones have become "linked." We both get the same calls at the same time, whenever he adds something to his phone, it shows up on mine as well. How can we "un-link" them?

    Note:  this bug - I mean feature - happens even if Facetime is turned off on both iPhones.  These arrogant social media programmers can be really annoying.  What?  You want to use the iPhone as a phone?  How quaint.

  • How to modify a template and use both old/new in the same library without interference

    OK first Thank you for reading this and hopefully being able to help me out. I got dumped this project on my desk to update two different templates already published in
    share point(2010) years ago. The original developer left the company 4 years ago. Since then anyone that tried to do anything with them made a big mess. I have done some heavy reading and am stuck on few issues.
    Please note the templates were created IP 2007 and I will be using IP 2007 to modify them. The temples have a small amount of C# that does not have to be changed. There is also a digital signature linked to them.
    After some heavy reading this week. I figured that I need to edit the template from Share point(2010)/IP(2007) and not copy the templates to a different location laptop/desktop
    because that will ruin the digital signature. There is also a large volume of submitted forms from these temples. The new version of the temples will be heavily modified deleting rolls columns changing names. My understanding is that since I want to keep the
    old submitted forms the way they are and still use the old template to open them. I would need a second version of the original template with all the visual modification to still use the original template's C# digital signatures and any other file that runs
    in the background.
    The plan:
    1)Turn off the automatic update to forms/template when a new version of the template is created.
    2) Copy the existing template (.xsn) file to a new document folder in share point(same network).
    3) Change the name of the .XSN file that I copied and modify it??????????? Will keeping the same name interfere with the old template/C# digital signature ect? I would like to change to something like SameName_version_2015 for example. or will changing the
    name cut the link to the old C# digital signature? or will it get modify the background files and break the old template/submitted files.
    4) Publish the new template in share point.
    5) Change the data connection to a new directory that I wish to submit all files.
    Please advice am I missing anything? and help me understand my step 3 better. Also I would love to get a better understanding of how i can backup and recover everything. Do I simple copy unmodified .XSN files somewhere and publish them if things goes wrong?
    Do I need to backup anything else?
    I am open to options if I can create a test folder in the share point for safety.
    Once again THANK YOU for trying to help.

    Hi, thanks for the reply!
    Just to follow up for what we did to disable the delete function for maintaining table records. We hided the Delete button by adding a "MODULE disable_delete" code in Screen Painter. So now only adding records to the table is allowed.
    Thanks,

  • I have just opened a new account for my Ipod Nano. My husband and daughter both have accounts on the same computer. I have registered and have downloaded a song, however it the Ipod has synchronised and also downloaded all my daughters tunes fron her Ipod

    I have just opened a new account with my new I pod Nano. I have registered,my husband and daughter have an Itunes account on the same computer. I have bought one song but the Ipod has synvhronised also downloading my daughters tunes from her Ipod.
    How do I delete all these songs and prevent this from happening again.?

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

  • I Just Bought a MacBook Pro, I Own an iMac as well and i cannot seem to get the same applications how do i do that?

    If you purchased it from the App Store on the Mac, you should be able to download it again for free unless Apple has a new policy about doing that, in which case you'll need to buy it again.

  • 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

  • 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.
