All my Quick shortcuts have disappeared from my startup page

jimbop last edited by jimbopHow do I restore items (bookmarks, folders with bookmarks in it) that are only visible in my "opera account" (https://sync.opera.com/web/) to my opera browser ?
Given the fact that they are nowhere on my opera browser for PC (menu > bookmarks > and all the many subfolders) even when sync is enabled ? The items that I want to be restored are only visible in my account and under the different subfolders from the menu to access the bookmarks in "my account". Also many items under the subfolder bookmarks > deleted bookmarks. What good are these lists if you can't copy them back to your PC ?

Thanks for your reply. No syncing on or off does not help me, I tried it. Let's say I enable sync how can I get back those items that are now ONLY visible in "my account" (https://sync.opera.com/web/) under deleted bookmarks, they are nowhere at all visible in my browser (syncing on or off). Other things are not synced besides my bookmarks.

With sync turned off then, of course, you will not see them in your Opera installation. Unless they were already there before.
It seems that you have a problem with sync. When you turn sync on, do you get the green checker saying that everything is okay?

Fact remains that I see items in "my account": many, many shortcuts and folders under deleted bookmarks that I want to transfer from "my account" to my browser folder "speed dial". All those speed dial items have vanished from my browser some 5 days ago. They are only visible in "my account" (sync on or off), but I can't seem to get them from there to my browser even when sync is on. Now tell me that's strange. Yes BTW I get the green checker when sync is on.
What to do now ? Thanks for looking into this.

Yes it is done. But wrong sync. I don't recall if I already said this here, but here it is again.
I have now two Quick dial pages on my android. They have the same name (on top the name I gave to my PC).
Remember scrolling through the quick dial pages from the same source (another smartphone, another PC) is done vertically.
Scrolling horizontally you get a differenbut with different content. t source. I named the QD page from my PC: MSI_GE60.
I have 2 QD pages but with different content but with the same name. Only one of these syncs with my PC. The other page (with the same name) does NOT sync with my PC but contains "most" of the stuff I lost from my completely gone QD page from my PC from some 5 days ago.
This stuff is also visible in "my account" on the web and is located under deleted bookmarks.
How do I get this stuff "out", I mean "move" either from the web under "my account" to my QD on the Opera browser OR from my android device to my Opera browser ?
Again thanks 4 looking into this.

You mean in 'other speed dials'? If so then it's normal.

One is your current Opera installation and the other is an old one. You can remove the last one if there aren't anything useful in it or after have moved it's content to your current speed dial.
How do I get this stuff "out", I mean "move" either from the web under "my account" to my QD on the Opera browser OR from my android device to my Opera browser ?
You can do it in the bookmarks manager page in Opera for desktops.

The bookmarks manager in Opera and the bookmarks in "my account" in Opera sync (of course when syncing is on) do not sync. I showed a picture of that a few posts ago. I also asked/said "How do I restore items (bookmarks, folders with bookmarks in it) that are only visible in my "opera account" (https://sync.opera.com/web/) to my opera browser ?"
I will try to elaborate on this later, but in the meantime do not close this thread. Thank you.

I still have no answer on the problem that I just can't copy the content of what's in my syncro page (the syncro page when I'm into my account) to my opera browser. And sorry to say this again but what I find in my account syncro page is not all available in my browser. That was what in fact was always assumed here.
And than there is the fact that on my android device I have two different bookmark pages that have the same name (the name I gave my PC). Also this content can't be moved (only deleted perhaps).
It's all ben mentioned b4, but perhaps this can't be solved at all.
