Hello,

I'm running OS 10.4 and Safari 4.1 on a G4 800MHz iMac

I don't know what happened, but I've lost the vast majority of the bookmarks I had in Safari on my iMac's HD (deleted).
I have a cloned HD which has all the bookmarks intact......... My question is how to I get the Safari bookmarks from my cloned HD to my main HD?

Many thanks

On the backup drive:
/Users/<username>/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

While Safari is closed, copy to the same location on your system drive - this will overwrite any existing bookmarks.
