Lost folder Safari bookmarks

Safari 9.1.1. : I was a change in editing very simple bookmark to bookmark files - by changing the order of the folders so a folder was closer to the top of the list because of its importance for me.   Received an error message that says could not do it because the favorites were the synchronization, please try again in a few minutes.  WAITED 5 minutes and moved the folder closer to the top of the list.  However, when I opened that folder of bookmarks, the bookmarks disappeared.  It happened after the synchronization message.  What is causing this glitch and do for restore missing bookmarks

You can only restore the entire file of bookmarks to a previous state. It is not possible to restore the individual bookmarks.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

~/Library/Safari

Quit Safari.

Select

Go ▹ go to folder

in the Finder menu bar. Paste it into the text box that opens by pressing Command + V, then press return.

Should open a folder window. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in this folder from a previous backup of the changes unwanted.

If you don't have such a backup, but the Favorites are still present on an iOS (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) device that synchronizes with iCloud, then see below.

Save your iOS devices. Turn off sync iCloud Safari on all devices except those. Quit Safari and delete the bookmarks on the Mac, and then enable synchronization Safari on it. Launch Safari. Bookmarks must synchronize icloud.

  • I lost a folder of bookmarks

    I am running Mac OSX 106.9. (Go ahead and laugh.) Firefox 37.0.1 I recently lost on my bookmark folders. I don't know how it happened. I don't have backups. (more laughter...) And I'm not tech savvy 'root '. Can someone help me? Does anyone have the patience?

    Thank you!

    Notice that the drop-down list of restoration shows the number of items of bookmark in the file, in order to check if there is a change which would indicate that the bookmarks were deleted.
    If the number of items is always the same, then it is more likely that the record got dislocated.

    The part of xxxx in .json bookmarks name-#-#-# _xxxx_$ $$ is the total number of items in the bookmark in the file (including folders and separators).

  • How can I synchronize Safari bookmarks to iCloud account different?

    We have two iPhones with accounts separate iCloud, as well as a few Macs.  Both Mac and iPhone share an iCloud account and have their Safari bookmarks synchronized via iCloud. But we would like another iPhone be synced to these favorites (probably not possible, I imagine), or at least to export bookmarks to another iPhone iCloud account, so they could be synchronized for the iPhone. I know how to export Safari bookmarks in Safari bookmarks html file, but how do to the account on another iPhone iCloud?  Would be sharing family take care of this?

    Why not to export the bookmarks in a folder on one of the workstations, then after logging in with the ID you want to sync, transfer it into the folder recorded in the ID?

  • Why can't I drag a file from the desktop to the folder of bookmarks?

    I am trying to sort my bookmark folders in El Capitan, so I drag the folder on the bookmarks file (after the edition of bookmarks in Safari) on the desktop, open it on the desktop and the sort.  When I try to drag it to the folder of bookmarks in Safari, the file returns to the desktop.  I tried using the side bar and the window, using option, command, control, fn and SHIFT while dragging, and nothing works.  When I output folder, it returns to the desktop.  To work around, I create a new folder in bookmarks, rename it, and then copy the bookmarks to the new folder.  Looks like I used to be able to just drag the folder to the Favorites folder.

    All solutions?  I have something on or off prevents him record a fall in place?

    When you drag a folder of bookmarks in Safari Bookmarks.plist location on your desktop, folder and its content is converted to different formats that Safari has no way to convert in the original structure of Bookmarks.plist.

  • Safari bookmarks file is missing

    OS: Yosemite 10.10.5

    Safari V9.1.1

    I had a folder in my popular called bookmarks. It was visible on the taskbar Favorites at the top of the window.

    It contained all my favorites work.

    I just noticed he disappeared and does not appear when I open "edit bookmarks".

    Of course, I want to find him.

    I read some old threads on bookmarks disappearing, but even if I can find the bookmarks.plist file it looks like my folder missing isn't there.

    Any help to find out if it is still a popular place. I think not that I have a Time Machine backup, unless there is an auto backup?

    Hello oldsailquik,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see your message that it turns out that a folder of bookmarks on your computer has been deleted by accident.  If you have no backup, then you can always try and retrieve bookmarks, as long as you use them with iCloud.

  • Problem of Safari bookmarks

    Safari version 9.0.3, El Capitan 10.11.3

    Earlier today, I moved a folder (named Music Making) in my favorites, but then when I opened it in its new location all the bookmarks that were in the folder disappeared. To recover bookmarks, I replaced the Safari folder in the library with that of a backup from a couple of days. That seemed to fix the problem, but then restored some time after the bookmarks in the folder music making had disappeared again. I tried several times the same thing in the case where I did something wrong, but every time that Safari seems resets automatically moving folder and deleting bookmarks it contained. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

    Quit the application.

    Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

    Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

    If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.

    If this does not work, go back to the Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist. Repeat the above.

  • These folders in safari bookmarks back after deletion

    I struggled to delete these 3 files in my favorites

    1 BookmarksBar

    2. the wish lists

    3 games

    I don't know where they have appeared. My Safari is enabled in the settings of iCloud, I delete them and they come back a few seconds. Even renamed puts back them to their original name. I do not think that default Safari bookmarks should contain these files especially the Games folder.

    I tried to disable Safari in iCloud and empty my favorites then, but once I turn on Safari in iCloud settings, these files continue to come back.

    Is there a way to delete these files? What is? Is there a way to reset the bookmarks in iCloud because I don't have a lot of bookmarks?

    Try going to your device settings/Safari and web compensation data.

  • My safari bookmarks get scrambled

    My Safari bookmarks got out of order.

    The tabs are okay, but within each tab, they are now out of use.

    If I try to rearrange manually, I get a message saying:

    "You cannot change bookmarks now.

    If I go to iCloud settings and uncheck bookmarks, when I check the box again, it says that if I want to merge with iCloud.

    I say Yes and I get my favorites return, but they are still more disordered.

    If I delete the library Bookmarks.plist file > folder Safari, I get my favorites right back, but after a few minutes, they become out of use again.

    What should I do to keep them in the order I want?

    PS: I think it started to happen a few days ago when I shut down my computer, and when I started my computer once again, a series of pop-up ads appeared asking me my iCloud password and other passwords. Which I entered correctly. I have a MacBook Pro with the Mavericks. And the latest version of Safari.

    Thank you.

  • Restore Safari bookmarks without time-Machine?

    Hello, all the

    Out of nowhere, one of my main folders Safari bookmarks disappeared. I'm a fairly knowledgeable Mac user and have no idea how they were deleted.

    I do usually external manual backups readers when I did some import an audio works and not very often otherwise (if I don't have a backup from a few months ago) but I added several important bookmarks since it went past 'poof '. It is also a way of saying that I have never set up Time Machine.

    So, how can I restore my bookmark.plist over current (tonight) without Time Machine. I know that Firefox - when I used to use it - kept many old .plists and you could scroll just to find later. It seems that Safari would keep much as well even without Time Machine configuration. At least I hope so.

  • How do I rename the folder of bookmarks 'Unsorted Bookmarks '? or add a folder at this level?

    With the help of Windows8 Firefox EU euballot - 1.1.
    Try to rename the folder of bookmarks 'Unsorted Bookmarks'? or add a folder at this level?
    I tried the suggestions in the forum (ie. Shift ctrl B); access to the file through library; all no chance.

    When you try to add a new folder on the same level as the 'Unsorted Bookmarks' folder, the new folder appears in the folder "Unsorted Bookmarks" and not on the same level.

    Something that I missed?
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    I do not recommend this. IIRC, users have mentioned that this folder has been renamed, when they started a new "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder has been created automatically when Firefox.
