iCloud issues with Contacts and Bookmarks
My iMac Contacts and Safari Bookmarks data have changed in the last day or so. I think the Safari Reading List may also have been changed. I think iCloud data has merged with iMac data as a number of old, previously edited and deleted entries have returned. 1. Can I delete Contacts and Bookmarks data in iCloud? 2. How can I determine what other data is stored in iCloud (and delete it)? 3. Can I cancel my iCloud account (which uses my standard Apple ID)? 4. I have signed out of my iCloud account on all my devices - two iMacs, an iPad and an iPhone. Can I again edit my Contacts and Bookmarks (individually on each device) and be sure that there will be no further “synchronising”? This data merge may have been triggered when iTunes was upgraded to ver 12.3 a week or so ago. I was continually prompted to sign in to iCloud. I eventually did so. Months earlier I had downloaded physical copies of my purchases that I wanted to keep and am happy to abandon the others. Then a gremlin interfered - I could not sign out of the iCloud account from my iMac. This was sorted out but required serious surgery. The patient and I are still convalescing.

Hi Severin, Comments in situ On 11 Dec 2013, at 5:08 pm, Severin Crisp sevcr...@westnet.com.au wrote: I realise I have a bookmarks mess, the result no doubt of many sets of bookmarks being carried forward, updated and added to over the years through system upgrades and the like. I am confused in particular between the Bookmarks Bar and the Favorites Bar which I have had in my mind as one and the same thing. Bookmarks Bar is now called Favorites Bar Along the top in Safari I have a row of items, for me they are my favourites, sitting in my bookmarks bar, things I refer to daily or wish to have handy for quick reference. The little grid of squares, second from the left, brings up Top Sites (set to be 24 of them) being a collection of recently visited sites in no special order it seems. I never use this. The leftmost item, the book, opens a sidebar and displays two folders, one called Favorites Bar and one called Bookmarks Bar each containing a series of folders of bookmarks, for no obvious reason some are open and some are closed. The contents are similar but not identical with odd items in one set not appearing in the other and strange duplications within Favorites or Bookmarks. I would like to rationalise this mess and could just go through item by item to make them identical as a first step. I believe that Favorites Bar is the one that is shared via the Cloud to our laptop and iPad. iCloud syncs your Safari Bookmarks to all your devices. The new addition to the Sidebar: the Shared Links tab. Once you’ve logged in to a Twitter or LinkedIn account via the Internet Accounts system preference pane, any posts that contain hyperlinks are displayed in the Shared Links list. If you truly use your Twitter stream as a replacement for RSS feeds, Shared Links is a concentrated burst of Twitter linkage that eliminates the middleman. The list of iCloud services on your Mac, or iOS device includes either Safari or Bookmarks (depending on the platform ). Either way, this item, when enabled, syncs your Safari bookmarks among your devices. For Macs and iOS devices, this feature also syncs Safari’s Reading List—articles or Web pages you’ve saved to read later—and, in a manner of speaking, Safari’s open tabs. If you click the cloud button to the left of the address/search field in Safari on a Mac, a popover appears listing the currently open Safari tabs on all the other devices that are signed in to the same iCloud account. Click a tab name to open it on the Mac you’re using now. In Safari on an iPhone or iPod touch, tap the Pages icon, and swipe upward (past the thumbnails of any open pages on the current device) to see a list of the tabs open in Safari on your other devices, grouped by device. In Safari on an iPad, tap the cloud icon in the toolbar to display a comparable list. Is the group called Bookmarks Bar then redundant and deletable. In Safari click on Help Safari Help in the resulting window type bookmarks.

Re: Firefox missing bookmarks
Hi Ronni, Yes, a lesson learned. I must be a slow learner - I made the same mistake when updating to v3.5.2!

Re: Export a Bookmarks Folder from Camino or Safari
Thanks for this Ronni I just tried it. I can't drag it out of Camino but can in Safari and Firefox (I was able to copy the entire Camino bookmarks folder over to both and then drag the 'Travel' folder in question to the desktop from Safari and Firefox). When I emailed it (to Elaine's iMac in the next room) I could not then import it, or drag and drop to the web browsers. Perhaps I just copy all the web links from the folder to an email and send them wholesale. That might be easier.

Re: Export a Bookmarks Folder from Camino or Safari
Hi ronni I just dragged every weblink out of the folder, one by one, into an email, and sent it to Elaine. They all open so I guess I've solved the challenge, albeit very clumsily. When in Safari on her iMac, we can then drag each link into a dedicated folder. I think there must be an easier way to do this though, but we're happy with the result for now.

Importing bookmarks into Safari (cool tip!)
Here's a very nice tip from Apple-X-net for importing bookmarks into Safari. I've only tried it with Mozilla so far, but I don't see why it shouldn't work just as well with others. First, locate the bookmarks.html file for your browser (for Mozilla, it's in the folder Users/username/Library/Mozilla/Profiles), then simply open a new window in Safari and drag that file into it. Next click the + button in the navigation bar, name it, and select a location (eg Bookmarks Bar, Bookmarks Menu, etc) from the pop-up menu. When you choose that link in Safari you see a nicely formatted page full of bookmarks, properly organised into groups, just as they are in the original browser. One advantage of this technique is that you can use Safari's search function within the page for finding the link you want. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.

I backed everything up, ran Disk Warrior, rebuilt the desk top and did a clean install. That was when I discovered I had backed up the truncated file! The Bookmarks file is just an HTML file, so you can use a decent text editor like BBEdit for this. Open both files, copy the bottom half of the old file and paste to the bottom of the truncated file. It should be fairly obvious where to do this, even if you don't know much about HTML. Then just save your modfied truncated file back to it's proper place in your Prerefeneces:Netscape Users: folder. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.

Re: Netscape Bookmarks Problem - additional
Hi WAMUG folks. One additional point about moving Netscape bookmarks; Make *sure* that Netscape is not open when you modify the Bookmark file. I have seen many people modify their Netscape bookmarks while Netscape is still running, only to find that they've lost all their changes. Cheers. Derek.

Re: Netscape Bookmarks Problem
Thanks to Peter and Derek the Bookmarks file is much longer again and I have got BBEdit Lite which will be very useful. For Onno: I did try putting the file together before asking for help though I did not search the archive! I used MS Word and saved it as a text file. But it did not look like a Netscape file so instead of just using it I opened it in Netscape, did a 'save as' and ended up with a file with only the top line! I just tried the MS Word file (as it was) and it worked fine. I have been told I should have had a sequential back-up. I did, but my Retrospect file failed just at the crucial time. I embarked upon it before doing my clean up and after 3 extra disks I looked to see how many I would need and it wanted another 94 x 100 MB Zips. As I did not have that many I had to give up and I presume I have lost the directory. Goodness knows what it was up to, I certainly had not used up that much space! Yesterday I went and ordered a new G4. Diana
Netscape Bookmarks Problem
I have truncated my Netscape Bookmarks. All the folders after 'G' are gone. I have an old version on my Powerbook. Is there a way in which I can attach the bottom half of the old file to the truncated file? It was caused by the umpteenth Netscape crash. I backed everything up, ran Disk Warrior, rebuilt the desk top and did a clean install. That was when I discovered I had backed up the truncated file! Diana
