Hello, DHK.
Thank you for contacting us. I should have replied to this yesterday, because I think it is actually siimple, not complicated as it appeared at first glance
For whatever reason, you have now have two
Favorites, the
real Favorites and a
fake Favorites.
The
real Favorites has the "★" in Safari and its name appears in
italics in Synkmark. The items in your
real Favorites appear in your
bookmarks toolbar, which is what you call the
horizontal bar. (Actually I like your name better but Apple makes up the names in this world.) In Synkmark's Help Book, we classify the
real Favorites as a
hard folder in Safari, because you cannot delete it.
The
fake Favorites has the regular folder icon in Safari and its name appears in
regular font in Synkmark. The items in your
fake Favorites do not appear in your
bookmarks toolbar. In Synkmark's Help Book, we classify such a regular, normal folder as a
soft folder in Safari, meaning that you
can delete it.
I think what you want is to get
your items back into your
horizontal bar and get rid of the 12 items which are there now. If I have understood that correctly, here are the steps to accomplish that
Run Synkmark.
Expand the
real Favorites folder.
Select and delete the 12 items (Apple, iCloud, Yahoo, etc.) which you do not want.
Expand the
fake Favorites folder.
Move all items in the
fake Favorites folder into the
real Favorites folder. The easiest way to do this is to collapse all of the items by holding down the option key and clicking the disclosure triangle, then release the option key and click the disclosure triangle again, then select all of the items using a shift-click to extend the selection, then either drag and drop or use a secondary click to get the contextual menu and then
Move to
. (The selection steps work the same in any Mac app with a standard outline view.)
Delete the now-empty
fake Favorites folder.
Click in the menu:
File >
Export to all.
