Reminder - Time To Back Up Your Mac Google Chrome Bookmarks

As many of you may have noted, I now have 6 videos related to retrieving lost Apple Mac Google Chrome Bookmarks.  When Bookmarks become corrupt or accidentally deleted then years of collecting and re-arranging can be lost in an instant.

The only way to prevent this happening is to backup your bookmarks regularly.  Do it now....

If you don't then here are the list of 6 things you need to know to retrieve lost Apple Mac Google Chrome Bookmarks, the first one states:

As I say, prevention is better than cure, so make sure you  save them ASAP and if your paranoid like me, save a copy to another drive for safe keeping.

fixed1t Playlist For Mac Google Chrome And Google Bookmarks Issues

A number of people have been having problems finding the appropriate directory for Google Chrome Bookmark Issues, so I have put all of the videos in a single fixed1t Youtube playlist.

To get to it click on the link below.

Please do not skip through the video thinking that you know whats coming next, If I could cram it into the first 30 seconds and make it understandable I would have done, its long for a reason.  The main reason for the length and slow pace is so that its slow enough for watchers to follow and mimic the actions on their own machine to get to the same solution.

If you skip about you may miss a crucial step

I know its hard to be patient and not to jump to conclusions, but trust me, you'll get to the solution quicker if you watch the whole video before skipping about.

fixed1t Apple Mac Support Renamed To Apple Mac Support Fixes

fixed1t Apple Mac Support Renamed To Apple Mac Support Fixes

Hi, as you know I've been publishing 'Working' Mac Support Fixes and associated 'How I Do It' Youtube videos for some years, but realised that having fixed1t at the start of the title reduced Blog traffic and views.

Therefore, I've renamed the Blog to:

Apple Mac Support Fixes 

Please delete your previous fixed1t Mac Support Bookmark and updated your bookmarks to this page.  I've also taken the opportunity to embed some links in some of my youtube videos, as a banner note in the top right hand corner, to take you to a playlist of fixed1t videos on the related topic, so you won't have to search around for the next videos.  Please try it out by selecting one of my recent Apple Mac Yosemite videos and let me know if this works. by leaving a note on this post, thanks.




I've also decided this blog shouldn't only be about the fixes I've already created, but should be an active tool for others to post items on, so if you find an Apple Mac Support problem that you'd like me to investigate and try and find a fix for, just post a question on this Blog and I'll try and take a look, if I solve it I'll post the solution.

Thanks for your continued support.

RED ALERT

IF YOU HAVE COME TO THIS PAGE AS YOU HAVE JUST DELETED A VITAL FOLDER BOOKMARKS FOLDER FROM APPLE MAC X VERSION OF GOOGLE CHROME, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES QUIT CHROME UNTIL YOU HAVE WATCHED THE VIDEO BELOW.  IF YOU QUIT MAC GOOGLE CHROME IT WILL BACKUP YOUR BOOKMARKS WITH THE MISSING FOLDER AND IT WILL BE GONE FOR EVER.  IF YOU HAVEN'T QUIT CHROME THERE IS STILL A CHANCE TO FIX IT, JUST OPEN ANOTHER TAB TO WORK IN.

IF YOU OPEN SAFARI WHILST CHROME IS OPEN YOU MAY ALSO GET THE SAFARI CHROME ERROR FOR WHICH A FIX IS LISTED ON THIS BLOG.


Whilst not paying attention I accidentally deleted a useful bookmarks folder from my Apple Mac Google Chrome, I wasn't concerned just a quick 15 second mouse click would solve it, or so I thought.

However, if like me you thought you could just go to the edit menu and select UNDO to get it back then alas we are wrong.  As with a lot of todays software, the software engineers seem to have spent so much time on the fancy things whilst removing the basic that actually make sense (sorry old software engineer rant ;-) LOL.

So things were much more complicated, tedious and time consuming.  Is it just me or are others getting fed up with typing in a search to Google etc which returns hundreds or thousands of alleged results only to discover they are sites that list other sites, that list other sites, that may or usually haven't got a solution.

Also, when I think I've found a solution, quite often I discover the solution or video they present is missing some vital steps or actions which the developer must have done to get a solution, thats assuming they did indeed find a solution.  I've had a few moans that my videos are too long winded, that I should edit a lot more, but as a trainer and lecturer I have always believed in showing people how to do things, warts and all.

As describing some of the actions for getting your bookmarks back from Mac Google Chrome, would be confusing or misunderstood I decided to make a new video.

Below is the YouTube video of how I got back my deleted bookmarks folder, step by step so hopefully you can do the same.

Just don't quit Google Chrome until you've backed up the 'bookmarks.bak' file.

If you find this useful please give it the thumbs up and feel free to share it with other Mac Support Sites.

Thanks fixed1t
