How to Add Bookmarks Folder back into Bookmarks in Safari?

It works for me. What exactly are you doing and what happens?

The text in the window doesn't highlight when you drag a folder into it?

Safari/File/Import from Bookmarks HTML File.

I am having this same issue. Dragged my bookmarks to the desktop as I always have, including those in folders, to alphabetize. I have always been able to do this in the past and then after alphabetizing put right back into safari by selecting all and dragging back in. This no longer works and it is causing me a real problem.

same issue here, it just won't take them.

hope Apple would bring back the old way in the next update.

Safari Version 9.0.1 (11601.2.7.2), OS X El Capitan 10.11.1 (15B42)

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

It still works. Just slightly different step at the end.

Drag folder out of Safari (as before).

Open the folder as a Finder item on desktop to do any sorting, de-duping, you need to.

In Safari, in the Edit Bookmarks window, click New Folder at the bottom, name it Sorted, or DESIGN2 or whatever.

Open the edited folder on your desktop again, and select all Cmd+A

Drag those selected items into the new folder you created.

Then once you are sure they are added, you can delete the original unsorted folder.

I had the same problem you were having, and after fighting with it for 30 minutes, and looking at other s/w solutions, it occurred to me to just try it this way, and Boom! worked just like it should. (Although I miss the old way of folder out - folder in.)

I just sort of solved my issue. I think the problem I encountered is caused by the iCloud system not really treating @me.com and @icloud.com as the same.

My account was registered we back when MobileMe is still available. Then iCloud came out, the iCloud service now allows signing in using @me.com or @icloud.com as Apple ID.

On all me other devices, I signed in using @me.com. But on my Mac computer I signed in with @icloud.com.

Then the problem started. I was trying to use Finder to get the bookmarks automatically sorted alphabetically by dragging all the bookmarks and bookmark folders from Safari to Finder, then when I try to drag them back in, only the bookmarks in the top level of the selected items will be imported back in. Bookmark folders and bookmarks in deeper level will not be imported.

I was forced to manually recreate each folder in Safari Bookmarks. But if I try to rearrange the folders, they would immediately snap back to the place they are at before. Also I was not able to delete all the bookmarks, they would just reappear.

Only after I sign out and sign back in with @me.com would this problem be resolved.
