for organizing www bookmarks
Safari Bookmark resyncing
-
1)
Open Safari and go to your preferences, take screen shots, or write
down how each pane in the preferences is set.
-
2)
Go to the File menu, and down to Export Bookmarks, chose a location to
export your bookmarks to, so we can import them later.
-
3)
Quit Safari
-
4)
In the Finder, go to your home folder, and open your Library folder.
In the Library folder is a folder called Safari, open that, and move
everything in there to the trash. You may be able to omit the
deletion of a file called Form Values which is the file that
remembers your name and other form values you have filled in on
websites.
-
5)
Now, also in your Library folder, is a folder called Preferences, you
will fine a file in there called com.apple.Safari.plist, delete that
file as well.
-
6)
Just for good measure, also in your Library folder is a folder called
Icons, you can safely delete anything in that folder. The data in the
files in there will be recreated next time you open Safari.
-
7)
With those items in the trash, open Safari and you should be back to
normal.
-
8)
You can now go to the File menu, and re-import your bookmarks, and
also go back to your preferences, and set those how you had them in
the past.
