Can't update bookmarks in safari 6.1 on Macbook Pro

Click "Bookmarks" in the Safari menu bar and then "Edit Bookmarks".

I am having the same trouble and cannot find an answer. Every reply to this problem walks you through how to move your bookmarks instead of addressing the fact that you can no longer move or edit them. I wish I had the answer. The only thing I can do thus far is to keep restarting Safari and reordering one bookmark at a time. After the one move, it locks up. No more draging or reordering.

I too can't move my bookmarks in Safari either. Grrrr.

What is wrong with Apple? I just upgraded my new iPhone to OS 7.1.1 and tried to sync with iCloud and my music app and my contact list disappeared on my iPhone. I have to go find someone with a PC to help me recover the contacts list by using an app only available on PCs. And that's embarassing since most people I know with PCs hate Apple and this will definitely be embarassing...

Is it because Steve died?

No. It's because you're not doing it right, or because something is wrong with your installation. I don't have any way of knowing whether you are doing it right, so I'll assume that you are. See below.

This issue can be caused by Safari synchronization in iCloud. You can either disable it in the iCloud preference pane, or use a rather complex workaround found by some ASC members (which perhaps could be improved):

Back up all data. Disable Safari synchronization on all your devices.

Rearrange the bookmarks in the Bookmarks window. From the Safari menu bar, select

File ▹ Export Bookmarks…

and export your bookmarks. Then delete all bookmarks.

Re-enable Safari synchronization and let it sync the empty bookmark set to all devices.

Select

File ▹ Import Bookmarks…

to restore the bookmark set you just deleted. It will sync.

i haven't done anything on ICloud ever, and i am not able to edit my bookmarks any longer, or even go to the edit bookmarks page. i can open bookmarks on the side, and move them around, but i am not able to change the content/name, or even see all that i typed into the name b/c it won't let me have it full screen. or even half screen. only like 1/3 of the screen. and i have information there that i need monthly that i can no longer see. please, tell me how to access this!! when i go to bookmarks>edit bookmarks in the upper menu, it brings me to the top sites page. when i try to click on my saved favorites icon next to the bookmarks icon in the window, it again brings me to top sites instead of saved sites.
regarding the icloud preference pane above, i have no idea where to find it since i don't use icloud & still have this issue. please take a moment to actually try to do this first before posting what you think the solution is. i think you will see what we are talking about. thank you.

p.s. i am on a macbook air
