How to Recover a Bookmark on a MacBook


Open a new Finder window. Click on the symbol that resembles a miniature house. This often has the user's name beside it.
Scroll down to 'Library.' Within the Library file there will be a file labeled 'Safari.' Click on 'Safari' and scroll down to 'Bookmarks.plist.' Hold down the 'Option' key and drag the file to the desktop. This won't delete the file; it will only copy it to the new location.
Open the Safari application and click 'File.' Scroll down to 'Import Bookmarks.' Click this and follow the prompts to select 'Bookmarks.plist' from the desktop to import. If this step does not work, continue to Step 4.
Open Time Machine. This software makes backups of files on Mac OS X. The Time Machine software must have been activated prior to losing the initial bookmarks or it won't help. Follow the prompts to move back to the time period before the bookmarks disappeared and prompt the software to restore the application to that time.
