Re: organizing bookmarks
Hi Matthew, Collections refer to special categories of items under the Bookmarks menu, such as "History", the "Bookmarks Bar" (i.e. the most frequently used bookmark entries that appear on the browser page when the Bookmarks Bar is not hidden), the "Bookmarks Menu" (usually, the list of bookmarks not on your Bookmarks Bar), the "Address Book" (for URLs of contacts in your Address Book), "RSS Feeds", if you choose to subscribe to them and have them displayed in Safari. So the table of "Collections" in the "Show All Bookmarks" page of Safari displays these items as well as folders of bookmarks. When you use the "Create new Collection" button you create a folder under the table listing both the categories I listed, and folders of Bookmarks. If you select a category under the table of bookmark collections (whether "History" or a particular bookmarks folder), then stop interacting with the table and navigate to the table of items under that selected collection (e.g. with Command-Shift-T to move to the next table) you can see both individual bookmarks and (sub)folders of bookmarks. The "Create new Collection" button creates a new folder of bookmarks under the Table of Collections. The "Create new Folder" button creates a new folder within the collections you have selected in the Table of Collections -- this could be a sub-folder of a bookmarks folder, or a folder on your Bookmarks Bar, for example. Also, to answer Laura's original question about reordering bookmarks, I find this easiest to do using Safari on the iPad (or iPhone), where after double-tapping the "Bookmarks" button, I can double tap the "Edit" button. either on the top level, where the items are folders, or after selecting a collection like the "Bookmarks Bar" or "Bookmarks Menu". For folders or bookmarks in my synced bookmarks this brings us a "delete" button beside the listed entry on the left side of the screen and a "Reorder . draggable" button on the right side of the screen for the listed folder. Doing a double tap and hold pass through gesture on this button lets me rearrange the order by drag and drop, and produces the burbling noise that the gesture was recognized. As I move my finger up or down the right side of the iPhone screen, I'll hear a "clink" and an announcement like "moved above" (or "moved below"), (and then the name of the bookmark or folder that I just move past in the up or down direction). To check the ordering of the items, just move your finger down the center of the iPhone screen, and scroll (three finger flick up) when you reach the bottom to keep going. Or, you could just flick right or do a "read all" from the current point (two finger flick down), but you'll also hear the delete buttons at the left and the move buttons at the right also listed, in addition to the name of the bookmark. When things are ordered to your satisfaction, double tap the "Done button". I think these will sync back to your Safari bookmarks on the Mac -- at least, this does through MobileMe, and I believe this also works when you sync through connecting your iPhone to iTunes if you have the box for syncing bookmarks checked. (Someone please check me on this.) HTH.

RE: organizing bookmarks
Can anyone explain the difference between folders and collections for Safari bookmarks? Matthew -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Andre Nuno Soares Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 17:44 To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: organizing bookmarks Hello Laura, After you press Command Option B you'll be in a Search Text Field. VO left arrow once and you'll find a table. Interact with it (VO-Shift-down arrow)and you'll see categories for History (for the list of web pages you have visited so far) Bookmarks Bar, Bookmarks Menu, All RSS Feeds, and one entry for each bookmark import, if you did any. Use the up and down arrow keys to move between the categories. You probably have been adding bookmarks to the Bookmarks Menu, so select that and stop interacting with the table (VO-Shift-up arrow).

To change a bookmark location in the Menu, just cut it (Command-X) and paste it (Command-V), again on the bookmark immediately above where you want this one to be.

Re: organizing bookmarks
Hello Laura, After you press Command Option B you'll be in a Search Text Field. VO left arrow once and you'll find a table. Interact with it (VO-Shift-down arrow)and you'll see categories for History (for the list of web pages you have visited so far) Bookmarks Bar, Bookmarks Menu, All RSS Feeds, and one entry for each bookmark import, if you did any. Use the up and down arrow keys to move between the categories. You probably have been adding bookmarks to the Bookmarks Menu, so select that and stop interacting with the table (VO-Shift-up arrow). VO-right arrow twice and you're at a different table. Interact with it and you'll see all your bookmarks. To create a bookmark folder navigate to the bookmark immediately above where you want the folder to be and press Command-Shift-N. Type the name you want to give it (you won't hear it being echoed) and finish with Enter.

Re: organizing bookmarks
Hello Laura, Command Option B displays all your bookmarks . In here you can change your bookmarks display order, their name or URL, add bookmark folders,etc. Was this what you were looking for?
