Articles and Lifehacks

When encountering an Apple tablet for the first time, the user often does not know how its basic functions work. In addition, many people are interested in where are they stored on the iPad? Safari bookmarks . Let's try to figure out how to find them, whether it is necessary for this, and also focus on how to use the main functions of this browser.

How to use the basic ones Safari features? Where are browser bookmarks stored on iPad?

One of the most famous features of the Safari browser is autofill. Its essence lies in the fact that the necessary information is taken from the contact card, and the browser itself fills in the addresses, phone numbers, and so on in the web form. For example, we type the very first characters Email and agree with the hint. Safari then substitutes all the information it has into the other fields.

Passwords and email browser stores in KeyChain. They get there after we enter the data for the first time. In the dialog box that opens, select “Remember”. Subsequently, the browser will also remember other data (for example, email and password in Gmail).

Through the History menu, you can also reopen windows from your most recent session; the same goes for tabs. Unfortunately, only the last session is remembered. Besides, in open tab you can make a bookmark.

Now about where Safari bookmarks are stored on the iPad. You can try to use free application iFunBox, which is actually the Explorer of our tablet. Type bookmarks.db in the search bar and click right click Click on the “Open folder” item.
We can also find browser bookmarks by going to the following directory: /var/mobile/Library/Safari/bookmarks.db.

Export and import bookmarks stored in Firefox into Safari

If we previously used Mozilla Firefox, then now, knowing, we can export all bookmarks to Safari browser to use them there. Go to “Bookmarks” and select “Show all”. The Libraries window will open.

In the toolbar of this window, look for the “Import and backup” option. and Backup"), then - "Export Bookmarks to HTML". There we select the location where we want to save this HTML file. By default it will be named bookmarks.html. Click the save button. Close the Library. Now our bookmarks have been successfully exported from Firefox, all that remains is to transfer them to Safari.

To import, open Safari and select the “File” menu at the top, then “Import Bookmarks”. If the menu is not displayed, press the Alt button. Now we find the HTML file and open it. Give the name of the folder with bookmarks. To check whether all of them have been imported, click the “Bookmarks” option.

C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Chrome/User Data/, there are Bookmarks and History files, you copy them wherever you want) you can copy the entire folder - it won’t be worse xD

p.s the Local Settings folder is invisible by default, go to Control Panel there Folder Options, View > Show hidden files and folders)

Same shit. It's not about the browsers.

You’ve opened a website and want to have it at hand. There are two ways. At the top right there is a 4-color square and a transparent star. If you click on the star, your site will appear on the line at the top and will be the most accessible. Click on it once and it will open. Secondly, you can add it to the express panel, then click on the square and it will come out - open and add. You need to add. Then, in order to get to the site, you need to open the express panel, and then navigate through the site. In the express panel you can give any name to the site.

  Sometimes they disappear on their own, and I use this trick -
  I delete another bookmark, then the “Restore All” button appears. I click it, and then I delete the unnecessary ones.

  If you have a Google account, your bookmarks should be restored by themselves... Just enter your email and password. There should be a corresponding icon at the top right...

Recently, in one of our articles, our reader raised interesting topic- transferring bookmarks from different computer browsers in Safari on iPad. I'll try to tell you how to do this with everyone. popular browsers. Moreover, newcomers to the development of Apple products may not even know about such a function.

Transfer bookmarks from Safari to PC to Safari on iPad

Everything is very simple here. Since Safari is the brainchild of Apple, support for such a transfer is built into iTunes by default.

Brief transfer instructions:

1. We have several bookmarks in Safari on a PC (in the future, PCs are all computers with an operating system Windows system or Mac OS).

2. Connect the iPad to the computer. Open iTunes. Go to iPad Name -> info. Scroll down and see the Sync Safari Bookmarks item. We put a tick.

(!) We also put a checkmark next to the word Bookmarks (it tells iTunes to force download all bookmarks from the PC to the iPad) before the first launch, this checkbox is not required in the future.

3. Click Apply. Synchronization will begin, after which you will see your bookmarks on the iPad in Safari.

Sync other browsers with Safari on iPad

Having studied this issue, I decided not to reinvent the wheel and use numerous tips on the forums, and our reader suggested the same solution (that’s right - why are we worse?!). You can use the service xmarks.com.

The service offers plugins for browsers such as Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer And Google Chrome. The purpose of these plugins is to sync bookmarks between browsers on a PC.

Therefore, it is logical to assume that you need to set up synchronization between your main browser and Safari (if it doesn’t exist, then install it). And then synchronize your computer Safari with Safari on your iPad as I described above.

Instructions on how to sync bookmarks using XMarks

I won’t go into great detail, since you still have to think during the process; I’ll only describe the main points. Let's say our main browser is Firefox.

1. Register on the site xmarks.com. After registering, you will receive an email with a link that you must click to approve your account.

2. We install the plugin in the main browser (the plugin is installed automatically - you just need to install it from the browser where we need it. In in this case from Firefox). And we synchronize the bookmarks so that they end up on the server. Don’t look at the screenshot below - I warned you: you need to think. In fact, point 3 is correct (this is how we will upload bookmarks to the server):

3. We log in to the Xmarks website and find our bookmarks there

We install the plugin in the receiving browser (in our case it is Safari). And... we think! We find in Xmarks settings An item that allows you to overwrite local bookmarks with server bookmarks.

After such synchronization, we see that bookmarks appeared in our Safari on the PC, which were previously in Firefox, and we transferred them to Safari through the server.

The goal has been achieved - we have transferred bookmarks from Firefox to Safari to iPad. WITH Internet browser Explorer and Google Chrome the situation is similar.

FAQ on the topic:

1. Why is Opera not on the list?

Opera is not supported by Xmarks itself, so you need to come up with some other way to transfer bookmarks from Opera on a PC to Safari on an iPad. If I find a suitable method or readers suggest it, I will be happy to update the instructions.

2. Why are the instructions not step-by-step, as usual?

Because the process is quite creative - the main thing is to understand that in the first browser you need to merge the bookmarks to the server, and in the second you need to receive them from the server. The Xmarks service in this case is just a buffer. If you understand the principle and you do everything carefully, then without any instructions you will be able to transfer bookmarks from one browser to another.

3. Is there an easier way to transfer without using Xmarks?

If you need to transfer bookmarks to a browser on your iPad one time, you can export bookmarks in your browser to your PC. And import in the browser on the iPad. The scheme is described in a little more detail in the comment below from Volgin 7.
