[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1531946, member: 131855"] I had time to do a bit of investigating. Under 10.7 and 10.8 the file you need is hidden normally so it is hidden in the Time Machine backup. Here's something that should "unhide" the file and restore a working copy: 1. While in the Finder (before entering Time Machine) go to the Go menu and choose "Go To Folder" 2. In the sheet that appears type ~/Library/Safari 3. Now launch Time Machine like you are going to restore a file. 4 You should see the same Safari folder in Time Machine that was selected before you opened Time Machine. 5. Use the tick marks on the right side to scroll back to a date where the bookmarks were present. 6. Click on the file Bookmarks.plist and choose Restore. [/QUOTE]
