MacOS – Restoring lost icons

macos

I recently installed Yosemite on my MacBook Air. I note that my Reading List items no longer display the icon/logo from the web pages. They were very handy for quickly locating the item I was looking for without having to read through all the text. Is there a way to restore them?

Best Answer

Lets try following to restore your old reading list:

Quit Safari. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select

Go > Library

from the menu bar.

The reading list is stored in the file Safari/Bookmarks.plist in the Library folder.

You have two choices:

Restore the file from a backup that predates the issue; or

Move the file to the Desktop, relaunch Safari, and import from the old bookmarks file (File > Import Bookmarks...).
