I have an Imac, running Catalina and I want to use in my MacBook Air, running Big Sur the same settings and bookmarks of this older iMac.
Please, how can I do that?
Thanks Paulo

You could have also used iCloud with the same Apple ID on both computer to synch Safari.
reboot all your devices. mine did not synch until rebooted, then they were fine.
Make sure both Macs are turned on and connect the two Macs with a USB cable. You can use Migration Assistant to do the transfer of only your settings and preferences, but most likely all of them will be transferred. If that is ok, then use this method.
Hi Ronasara,
I was able to solve. You need to go to ~Library/Safari and find the file Bookmarks.plist in the 1st computer. Copy the file and paste it in the 2nd computer in the same location ~Library/Safari. When you open Safari in the 2nd machine all bookmarks are there.
It is just that
Regards Paulo
Hi Ronasara, thanks for the suggestion, but in my case I don't want, nor I need to migrate the whole computer, just Safari settings and bookmarks, thus it isn't the case of using the Migration Assistant.
If I know exactly where Mac saves these settings and bookmarks, probably somewhere in Library, I could copy the file/folder and paste it in the same place in the new computer.
Anyway, thanks again
Paulo
I got it. I'm sure that someone here must know how to direct you to do what you want to do.
Very good. Glad to hear you were able to solve it.
