Hi refalci,

The easiest way to copy your Safari bookmarks to a different Mac is to export them from Mac #1, and import the resulting .html file into Safari on Mac #2.

You can copy the .html file to a thumb drive or email it to yourself and open it on the second Mac.

You indicated that you are using Mavericks OS X on your computer, so here are the instructions for Safari 6 or 7.

Safari 6/7 (Mavericks): Import and export bookmarks
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17154

Open the Safari application, then:


Export bookmarks: Choose File > Export Bookmarks. The exported file is called “Safari Bookmarks.html.”

On the second computer, open Safari and import the file that you emailed or saved to a thumb drive:


Import bookmarks: Choose File > Import Bookmarks. Most bookmark files have an extension of .html or .plist.

After you import bookmarks, they appear at the bottom of the sidebar in a new folder whose name begins with “Imported” and ends with the date.

Hope that helps ...

- Judy
