Hey guys - Thanks for all the comments............All I want to be able to do is to bookmark a page without (always) putting it in a folder. Many times I might bookmark a page and the saved bookmark will be deleted very quickly, same day ! I don't need to be forced to decide which folder I need to file it in. Lets hope this is a bug which go away in a new release.
In the meantime, I guess I will create a new folder to save anything I don't want to save to another folder to.
Hope that all makes sense and a good week ahead to all.
Yup, that's the problem. In Safari for macOS 10.12, there is only a "Favorites" section and any folders you have created. There is no "default" "Bookmarks Menu" as there used to be and still is in iOS 10. The work around is to create a "Bookmark" folder to
act as the "
Bookmarks Menu" (which isn't a folder, it simply saves links at the bottom of your listed bookmark folders, etc.).
It's an open and acknowledged bug with macOS 10.12 as many are experiencing this random issue. Odd enough that saving bookmarks in Safari for iOS 10 does have the "Bookmarks Menu" option which syncs properly in Safari for macOS 10.12, yet you cannot save bookmarks outside of a folder in Safari on macOS. The "Bookmark Menu" section is gone, leaving only "Favorites" and created folders to save bookmarks.

Adding a bookmark to the
Bookmarks Menu item does exactly the customer should expect:
- add the bookmark
- close the dialogue
- in the main menu bar of the operating system, click the Bookmarks menu of Safari
- the menu drops down
- within that menu, the required bookmark.
Safari for Mac does still have a
Bookmarks menu, so logically there is no redundancy.
@Feenician don't take this personally.
My
scathing criticism of Apple for the past two years is a flip-side to the
huge respect that was deservedly won by earlier software products from the company
.
@StarkerMann the linked post was disrespectful towards people in Apple marketing (and other areas). I should apologise for the over-generalisations; it's the type of thing that can be expected after Apple does things that cause dedicated, passionate customers/testers to think
WTF? … if you'd like to respond in the linked topic – in a personal capacity – I'll respectfully alter my position.
Oh no apologies necessary. I completely agree with you and many within Apple agree that Safari needs a lot of work, especially with bookmark management. iTunes is another that has become a bloated mess. There is ongoing work to separate iTunes by category, following the same direction as Photos and iBooks. iMovie would be reworked to incorporate the "Movies" and "TV Shows" store similar to iBooks. iTunes would return to managing music and apps with iSync updated as the syncing conduit. The underlying issue is how to incorporate such changes for Windows users as iTunes handles music and apps, leaving Outlook for mail, contacts, and calendars and photo syncing with folders. Windows versions of iMovie, iBooks, and Photos would have to be developed along with iSync which would replace the Windows iCloud Panel. Outlook could still handle Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, with a Windows version of a new iTunes. So there's work behind the scenes on those possibilities especially as Windows versions would come at a reasonable price.
Working for a tech company such as Apple is a lot less strict than some assume. It's a much more relaxed environment with 24/7 dining (the food is excellent and unlimited espresso keeps everyone working), fully stocked bars, pools, gyms, volley ball courts, even sleeping area's and dressing rooms foster a sense of belonging and community, creating a "home" environment which is exactly the point. I/O Psych - keep employees happy and working hard with legal addictive stimulants and services that temp many to stay, especially in Cupertino as the commute is hell. Everyone is encouraged to speak their minds, which created quite a divide during Forstall years post-Jobs.
I highly recommend submitting your opinion(s) and idea(s) via our feedback options as they are taken seriously.
There is a renewed sense of hope that leadership is making better decisions (although agreeing to sell "beats" in order to acquire record labels for "Apple Music" was a mistake). We love Angela Ahrendts and now that she and Ive have finished two years worth of work on revamping retail stores she'll have a more prominent role and presence. She's very down to earth, has great idea's similar to Jobs (as CEO of Burberry she thought of a mirror that can show clients wearing garments they hold up) and much more, including breaking the wall between corporate and retail. She's direct without the borderline personality aspects of Jobs while adding a much needed presence.
Ahrendts and others coming aboard will begin participating in Keynotes as they have the presence similar to Jobs that is currently sorely lacking. The current leadership (with the exception of Ive and a few others) is resting on their laurels yet are realizing that tech changes so quickly they need to adapt instead of throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. Jobs was perfect in seeing the bigger picture and focusing on a specific segment and idea's that would fulfill a need or improve on already developed systems and rarely considered profits. Jobs focused on idea's that impassioned him, not fragmenting product lines for profits sake. Jobs' ideas, focus, perfectionism, not shying away from cutting projects to focus on better ones, and high standards in "getting it right". Apple needs that focus again and now that Intel is finally improving development along with Apple, Mac's and displays will have the attention they deserve.
