• Where is the function "import/export" for backingup/restore bookmarks file?

  3.6 x, I could go to the Bookmarks tab and open the "export bookmarks" and saves it to the top of my favorites to an external backup drive. Conversely, I could go to the bookmarks and open the Bookmarks 'import' and put in a file of saved bookmarks. I upgraded to 9 tonight and so far, 9, for the life of me, I can't find the 'import' bookmarks / function "export bookmarks". In the past, I have known accidents whereby I lost ALL my favorites. 3.6 x, I was able to save the bookmark file every day if I want but, with 9, I can't do it! Help!

  Please advise! Thank you! Sincerely, s

  If you add the .json extension, it works then? Why people who design browsers or extensions them do create files with no extension name, in spite that these extension names are essential to make the files can be restored? I could never understand that.

• Could not import the bookmarks file large

  I recently bought another computer on Windows. I installed Firefox and tried to import my bookmarks (html) file. I could only import files into my favorites and nothing else. Then I open my file of bookmarks in Firefox and bookmarks I want are still there. The bookmarks file is 15.8 mb in size. Do I need to split this file and, if so, how could I do?

  Thank you!

  If you still have the old computer, you can try backup .json (using the backup instead of export). With the new system, restore the .json file.

• The restore bookmark function has failed. Bookmarks has not changed.

• 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.

  Restore your Safari bookmarks and reading list

  1. Go to settings on iCloud.com, then click on restore bookmarks (in the Advanced section).

     Versions are sorted by date and time that they have been archived.

  2. To the right of the version that you want to restore, click on restore.

     There may be several versions that can be shown at once. Scroll to see more.

     Note: Wait until iCloud finished restoring your bookmarks from Safari and playlist until you change them. While they are being restored, any changes are not saved.

  Restored bookmarks and playlist will appear on all your devices set up for iCloud Safari.

  iCloud: restore your contacts, calendars and reminders, or bookmarks

  Have a good.

• Problem restoring bookmarks

  Hello

  I recently had to restore my computer and I decided that I would save my favorites before that to save me the trouble to add all. I followed one of the guides on this site and has my backup file ready to go, but when I went to import/restore them, it wouldn't take the file that has been done.

  After you follow the steps in the guide, Firefox has created a "Unix executable file. First I tried to import this file, then I tried to restore this file via Firefox. After this does not work, I just double click on the file and it opens a terminal window (I'm on OS X, incidentally) and spits out text then a mistake.

  After that, I just right click the file and tried to open it in Firefox. I found myself with a bunch of text will on the side of the screen and after scrolling for a bit, I could find some URL to my bookmarks in the code, if bookmarks are here.

  What can I do to restore these?

  If the file is a long line so it's probably a JSON backup and in this cae you just rename the file and add the .json file extension.

  A JSON backup begins with: {"title": "","id": 1, "dateAdded": }

• My computer crashed, but I managed to save my files. How can I transfer my bookmarks from the old Firefox browser and install it on the new computer? I can't find the bookmark file in the old browser.

  I'm transferring my files to an HP laptop to a Dell because the crushed HP desktop computer. I installed Firefox 8 in the Dell computer (I got the Firefox 5 - I believe - in the HP). I'm looking for the old bookmarks file in the old computer, but I can't find them. Where are they? I'll appreciate your help because I had a very good collection of bookmarks. Unfortunately I didn't save them from time to time.

  Well, you were able to recover your files. I don't know where you have saved your files, but you can use the search function and search your favorites using this search term "bookmark *.» *«. It should be very probably a JSON extension file.

  Once you find the file, use this link to help restore backups.

  I hope this helps.

• Cannot restore bookmarks

  Version 3.6.17 last night I noticed that a particular section of bookmark, I use a lot was missing so I tried to restore the bookmarks of a day old backup Firefox has automatically done for me. I got the error "Failed to process the backup file." So I tried each of the 4 other files listed backup, which produces the same error. The manual backup I have is a few months old if I'd prefer restore a recent backup. Is there a way to make one of these json backup work files? Today, I reinstalled FF with the same result. If I can not restore one of these files, then is there a way to import only the part of the saved exported bookmarks I need instead of importing all the old bookmarks file? Thank you, Jerry

  One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.
