Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Can someone help me out. I have a lot of duplicate bookmarks and would like to get rid of them is there a easy way or a app for free to get rid of duplicate bookmarks. I am looking at a lot of them so would like to keep only one of them each. There has to be a good way of doing this. Maybe I am calling them bookmarks but they are under favorites.
Thank you
Frank
Yep, I think you followed the steps correctly! It looks like the imported folders are gone now. Is this what you were looking for? For the mouse, what type are you looking for? Apple makes the Magic Mouse 2, which retails for $79.00 at this link: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MLA02LL/A/magic-mouse-2-silver?fnode=04fac21edc31e82640a7e489b0f93cad4a0d6eff9c8bf98cc44dd183ac94291d2c85f587588d17b26623877d4a5bbad0e1628337f6576785a8028d6492bce8fb941fe3a1e363580a36be71c44d9884feb779c32a90c0f6661103868585a7147f
This mouse does come with its own charging cable, which I believe should be the same as the one for your keyboard (depending on its model). Can I see a photo of your keyboard charging port?
Hi there!
To remove all your duplicate bookmarks at once, it is easier to do it in Chrome with an extension. First, if you are using Safari, export all your bookmarks. Open Safari, and click File on the top of the screen. Next, click Export Bookmarks. Save it to a folder you can remember. Afterwards, install Chrome, and search Bookmarks clean up. Install the extension. Then import your bookmarks to Chrome by clicking Bookmarks on the top of the screen and then Bookmark Manager. On the right side of the screen, click the three dots, and select Import bookmarks. Then click the puzzle piece on near the top of the browser, and select Bookmarks clean up. When that opens, click Find duplicated bookmarks. On the bottom of the screen, press Select in same folder. Then click Remove all selected. Go back to the Bookmark Manager, and click the three dots to export your bookmarks. Open Safari, and import those bookmarks by pressing File and then Import From and Bookmarks HTML File.
Hope this helps!

I really did not want to use Chrome is there any other way cause Chrome is a hog? Also looking for a app to do this with any idea on a app instead and whats the name of Chrome extension if I have to? There has to be a easier way?
Thank you The_MacBook

There is an app that can be installed on Safari to help manage duplicate bookmarks. It's called Save to Raindrop.io. However, I don't recommend it because it requires a subscription in order to use the duplicate manager, which costs $28 per year. Using Chrome would probably be the easiest way. The extension is called "Bookmarks clean up." After using Chrome, you can uninstall it by simply deleting the application in Finder.
The extension for Chrome only works on the Chrome browser. You can find it at this link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bookmarks-clean-up/oncbjlgldmiagjophlhobkogeladjijl?hl=en
For Firefox, there is another extension called Bookmark Dupes that specifically deletes duplicate bookmarks. Get it at this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmark-dupes/
To use the extension, open the Firefox browser, and click the two overlapping stars on the right-hand side. Then press Dupes. Press Mark all but first in each group. To delete the duplicates, then press Remove marked bookmarks. The duplicates should be gone.

I am on firefox at work do not see that 2 stars show me screen shot please? Or please show me the steps top get to it. I downloaded on this iMac at work and cannot find the 2 stars?
Please help with screen shot and steps please.
Thank you
Frank
You can open Bookmark Dupes in the window you are already in. In the screenshot you posted above, click the three dots to the right of the extension. Then press Preferences. Once that opens, press Bookmark Dupes that is in blue and underlined. That should allow you to use the extension.

I di all this still no luck maybe the app is broken and you know I do not see it in my toolbars should it be on there? If i am suppose to have it on toolbars please advise how to get it on there?
Thank you MacBook

Try this link (copy and paste) on Firefox to see if it will open the extension:
moz-extension://210ba4c3-ee6a-854f-95eb-9e3a0fafd673/data/tab/index.html
The extension should have opened on the options page...
Frank -- how many duplicate bookmarks do you have? Your original post was a week ago, have you simply tried deleting the duplicate bookmarks directly in Safari? Seems that would have worked, maybe a bit tediously, but still faster than this endless discussion here ... even if you have a hundred duplicates, one hundred clicks of the mouse, maybe a few minutes to remove them?

I understand what your saying but have over 2800 and looking for a app that would be one shot and done like the vaccine. Why I do not understand I find it hard to believe there is no app to do this simple task.
Thank you steve626

I'm honestly not sure why Firefox cannot open the extension on yours. Sorry this is taking so long. Would it be okay to try to Google Chrome method? I know Chrome might not be liked, but just only use it to clear the duplicates and then completely remove the application from your computer.
The_MacBook
Thanks anyway I will start to try to delete them one by one. I do appreciate all your help again. I know everyone especially you tried so hard to get it to work but will delete the extension since it does not work and delete them one by one. Have no other choice I guess I wanted a app that would have done it in a minute.
Thank you everyone and especially The_MacBook for all your help.

Sorry I couldn't help with the duplicate bookmarks; I really don't know why Firefox was not showing the extension. For the dates, they are the default folder name for the imports. I don't think you can automatically have them change to the current date, but you could rename them. To rename them, just double click on the date, and press rename.
If you would like to delete some of those folders (for Safari), then press Bookmarks on the top of the screen. Click Edit Bookmarks. Once that page opens up, copy all the bookmarks you want to keep. Then delete the folders you don't want. Paste the copied bookmarks into the folder you want to keep.
Do you mean to delete the folder? You can just press Delete in the menu that appears after you double-click on the folder. Make sure to first copy your bookmarks, though, or they would be deleted, too. After deleting the folder, just paste the bookmarks back into the folder you want to keep.
I think the easiest way to delete the folders is to first copy your bookmarks. After you save the bookmarks, delete the folders you don't want, and then paste the bookmarks back into the folder you want to keep. Let me know if this works. Also, if you are trying to export and delete bookmarks in Firefox, you could also do that in Safari without needing to export.
