[X4U] Updating Safari with old Bookmarks - SUCCESS

[Brett Conlon/HU/AU/SonyDADC]

Hi Daly,

Unfortunately your suggestion also didn't work. There must be something 
corrupted in my Bookmarks.plist file.

... BECAUSE ...

As a last desperate attempt I did a search on my computer (including my 
old ~/Library folder) for "Bookmarks.plist" and a 508K file dated to 8th 
Feb showed up inside a folder I never knew existed:

~/Library/Application Support/SyncService/LastSync Data/Safari"

Does anyone know what created this? Is it a "backup" feature of Safari?

I loaded that into my ~/Library/Safari folder and when I launched Safari 
my bookmarks were there!!! I may have added a few since 8th of Feb but I'm 
stoked I didn't lose the lot.

The original Bookmarks file that I was trying (152k) is only a shadow of 
the size of the working file (508k) so it looks like the original file is 
most likely a dud!

Anyway I'm travelling again, woohoo!

My next challenge is to see why Retrospect is barely backing up my hard 
drive. When I looked at my backup to retrieve an older Bookmarks file to 
my dismay the Users Library folder was almost completely empty!!!!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

Cheers,

Coj

I think you should take the new bookmarks.plist out to the Desktop to 
back it up, for what it's worth. Then drag in your old bookmarks 
plist in its place. But don't do the "replace" thing.
