That sounds like a good system Beryl. It’s always easier to be tidy as you go along than to sort things out later. :-)

Hi – I use Safari, and I place all my bookmarks into particular Folders, so that I can go immediately to that folder, for instance folders such as Shopping, Chemists, Exotic Fruits, Medications, etc. This makes for better organisation, and when I want a particular website, I just go to that folder – easier when like me you have possibly a hundred or so favourite website.

Actually…I’m extremely dumb. I just realized what I was doing wrong. My bookmarks were being saved to ‘Top Sites’ and whenever I cleared my history, my top sites were also cleared. Great.

Thanks anyways! :)

I seriously don’t know what’s wrong with my bookmarks! I’ve bookmarked so many pages & I don’t see them in the bookmarks bar…I see the ones that my Mac originally had but none of the ones I’ve selected myself. I don’t know what seems to be the problem I’ve searched my whole computer. Nothing ;(. And the option to name it and everything comes up and I even press the “ok” button after selecting “add bookmark.”

Anyone out there who can help ? Please would be very grateful :)

Carri, I think Safari can have only one row of Bookmarks. The rest appear when you click the ‘overflow’ button at the right-hand end.

Thanks for the info.
Do you know if there is a way to make the bookmark bar have two or more rows? If not, I guess I’ll need to just make more categories…..

thanks!

Choo Tan: your email to me privately (with screenshot) made it clear that the problem lies with the new Coverflow view for Safari Bookmarks.

Here’s your solution:

It tells you what to type into Terminal to revert to the older list view.

Let us know here how that works for you.

Choo Tan: I don’t know what you mean by a ‘preview’. When I open my Bookmarks list, eg by clicking on the Bookmarks icon at the left end of the Bookmarks Bar or by choosing Show All Bookmarks from the Bookmarks menu then the Bookmarks page shows up.

If I choose a specific Bookmark from the Bookmarks menu then that URL just opens up in the browser.

Can you describe more clearly what actions you take, what happens, and what you expected to happen?

There is a preview when I open the bookmarks. Can you please tell me how I can remove the Preview, I prefer to straight to the Bookmark list. Thanks.
