Can someone help me find a way to import my bookmarks into Firefox 4.0?

I've recently suffered a computer crash. I had everything saved on an external hard drive, and now I'm trying to import the places.sqlite that supposedly holds the bookmarks into Firefox. Firefox refuses to recognize this file. I have seen this question posted many times, but no good answer to it. This is an easy drag and drop task for IE. Why can the same not be said for Firefox?

Unfortunately, yes I did read that article. I tried importing the places.sqlite file from the Library. The places.sqlite file wouldn't even show up so I could select it when I went to import it. I also tried dragging and dropping it into the right place, but the bookmarks wouldn't show when I restarted Firefox. I've wasted hours on this, and I'm pretty frustrated. I don't know what the problem is. I've seen other posts about this same problem, but I haven't seen anyone say why the places.sqlite file refuses to import.

  • Can someone help me find a way to send RAW photos to Skydrive/Onedrive retaining their original file designation, i.e. NEF?

    I can obtain RAW files (NEF) from my camera.  I can then upload them to my computer and keep their RAW format. All of this is done through the cords with the iPad. However I am unable to load any of my photos up to any 'cloud' service.  The iPad converts all of them to some type of JPG file.  Is there a method or app that will help this process?  My goal is to protect my RAW images until I can do something with them. This includes the iPad for initial copy and I was hoping to use a cloud service for an additional copy.

    Both replies help to understand the restrictions of the iPad. JimHdk seemed to be a better technical reason for this issue.  The reality is I am not looking for more explanations as to 'why not'.  Is there a way around this?  I have read about a couple of apps that handle RAW files better.  But I am not sure if they will facilitate an export of the RAW file to any of the cloud services.  When I upload pics from my camera, they show up in 'camera roll' not iPhoto. If I use iPhoto the whole process is nothing but JPG.  I have to assume then the pics when then uploaded to my PC is acquiring them from 'camera roll' which leaves a collection of files in their original file format.

  • Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?

    Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?
    I am trying to get rid of all my 32 bit apps because the more of them you run in 64 bit the less resources are available.
    Firefox has a 64 bit browser they call the Shiretoko build. I love it, it's twice as fast as a heavily tweaked 32 bit firefox. Java has a 64 bit plugin that works with it.
    The last holdout is Adobe.
    Microsoft is making Vista and Win 7 64 bit as easy and smooth as the 32 bit versions as a means to get people to start using them.
    Linux has a way to make flash work with 64 bit.
    Remember when we all had a 16 bit operating system and how much better things got with 32 bit?
    Adobe, it's time!.. don't you see that?
    Can someone help me solve my problem? Please?

    go out and gather together all players you can run on Lion:
    MpegstreamClip, with QuickTime pro as the engine you can open and export just about anything.
    Flip4Mac, buy it and you can convert and export to wmv. Usefull if you must have wmvs in PowerPoint.
    Perian
    VLC
    Divx for Mac
    Elgato h264 Turbo if you want to create h264 fast.

  • Can someone help me find some missing features?

    There are quite a few features that I am unable to find in Leopard. Can someone please help figure out where they went or how to work around the following:
    In iCal you can no longer open the Info Drawer to allow you to see the details of your events as you click through them.
    Previously it only required one click to view Event info and 2 clicks to make an edit.
    Now it takes 2 clicks to see info which pops up a window with the details in it.
    Furthermore it takes 4 clicks to make an edit. 2 clicks (double click) to open the popup window, one click on the Edit button then a click on the item you want to edit. Plus one more to get rid of the info window. It only took 2 clicks in the Tiger version.
    Or you can press the Escape key after you make an edit which commits the edit. Doesn't the Escape key usually mean Cancel? It does everywhere else I've ever used it.
    Also:
    Classic
    Dock - position top
    Dock - hierarchical menus for folders
    Finder - draggable window edges
    Finder - collapsible sidebar
    Finder - change permissions of your own files without admin privileges
    Finder - set the current folder as the default search location
    Finder - use "Spacebar" to select the first alphabetical item in any window
    Finder - set the current folder as the default search location
    General - choice of colour for Apple menu icon (useful for flagging "root")
    General - Ctrl-Eject Restart/Sleep/Shutdown dialogue (now only "Sleep" and "Cancel")
    General - default high contrast menubar suitable for visually challenged
    rc.shutdown - though there's probably an equivalent I haven't figured out yet
    Netinfo Manager - There is no equivalent GUI App to perform the tasks that Netinfo Manger used to
    (Some items originally posted by other users. Compiled here for convenience.)

    Gone. Mac OS 9 has been dead for quite some time; Apple just got around to burying the corpse. If you need Mac OS 9, use SheepShaver.

    Still a hack.
    Dock - hierarchical menus for folders
    Gone, sadly. Hopefully they'll bring this back in a later update.
    Finder - draggable window edges
    The top and bottom bars are still draggable. Left-side and right-side window borders have been removed throughout Mac OS X.

    You can click on the little pill in the top-right corner.
    Finder - change permissions of your own files without admin privileges
    Finder - set the current folder as the default search location

    I didn't even know that existed. Regardless, space bar is now bound to Quick Look, so unless you can change it in System Preferences's keyboard section, you might be out of luck.
    Finder - set the current folder as the default search location
    It's in the Search bar, when you start a search. It's displayed in quotes. (This should really be the default, IMO.)
    General - choice of colour for Apple menu icon (useful for flagging "root")
    This has never existed in Mac OS X.
    General - Ctrl-Eject Restart/Sleep/Shutdown dialogue (now only "Sleep" and "Cancel")
    I got all four options when I tried it just now.
    General - default high contrast menubar suitable for visually challenged
    Not sure about this one.
    rc.shutdown - though there's probably an equivalent I haven't figured out yet

    NetInfo has been removed from 10.5 (probably to achieve the UNIX 03 certification; good riddance, I say). A few features have GUI replacements in Directory Utility, but the rest have been delegated to Directory Services. You'll have to use the Terminal to access most of DS.

  • I can't find Flash Animate! Can someone help me find it?

    I get the exact same problem, and I'm quite sure I have everything enabled. I cannot download directly from a link either, I have to right click and pick "save as" for it to work. If i don't, i get the same picture icon in top left corner.
    Don't know if that helps you much though.
    Anyway, i try to play chess on a gamesite and it tries to load a java aplication, which doesnt work obviously.
    I've enabled error showing (or whatever its called) and a rather sucky translation of that message would look something like this (in a windows popup box):
    "There's a problem with the website so it might not be shown or work properly. In the future you can show this message..." alot of blaha
    then in the information box:
    Row: 23
    Letter/Number(or whatever it is): 1
    Bug: The object doesnt support the property or method. (?)

  • Can Someone Help Me Find The Right KVM?

    I have a tough set-up and I'm finding the search to be overwhelming. I'm hoping someone who's been through this before can help me find the best KVM for my needs. Here's what I have:
    Apple Dual 553mHz G4
    • Upgraded dual montior video PCI card (ADC and DVI ports)
    Apple G5 QUAD
    • Stock dual DVI ported video PCI Express card
    Monitors
    • 2 Apple 17" displays (ADC)
    • 1 Wacom 18" Display (DVI)
    I also have 1 Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter
    Can I find a dual monitor KVM to use between these 2-machines and leave the third monitor on the G5 only? How about 3-monitor KVM? What are my options here? I'm so confused by all of this.
    i really want the G5 to be able to use all three monitors at once. It doesn't matter to me how many the G4 gets. If the KVM doesn't work I'm just going to suck it up and buy a second video card for the G5 (and DVI adapter) and run all 3 monitors on the G5 and use Remote Access for the G4.

    with respects to the dual DVI KVM... there are a couple of options out there.
    as far as 3 monitor KVM, there really are no such products, however, there are DVI matrix swtiches that will allow you to manually (or through presets) switch any input to any output, to include mirroring monitors on various inputs. however, with anything DVI, there may potentially be hot switch issues with resolution and synch, handshake, peripheral control, etc...
    let me just shoot you a couple of links...
    for dual DVI KVM...

    sorry to just shoot a bunch of links to you. in my experience, i've generally just used VGA for KVM setups and also there are many pitfalls with compatibility in certain setups that are almost impossible to avoid without trial and error and blind luck.

  • Can Someone Help Me Find WebOS Doctor 1.3.5?

    Hey guys. I've kept my phone on 1.3.5 b/c of the bluetooth issues with 1.4. Anyways, my phone got stuck on the palm logo screen, and brought it into a sprint store to see if they could load 1.3.5, but they ended up loading 1.3.1 (doh!). I just want to doctor the **bleep** thing back to 1.3.5, but it looks like palm took it down. I have the 1 kb jar file (that downloads the larger file), but that wont even open b/c the link is down.
    Palm.  Why would you remove this!?  You are crazy for doing so.  
    Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

    If you need support from Palm I would suggest contacting Palm either via chat or phone support. The palm forums is a community driven forum and is NOT a direct support line with Palm.
    Although we do strive to keep an eye on things in the community it is not to answer questions necessarily, but to help identify issues (e.g. bugs), although even those are most effectively handled by contacting Palm support.
    This is a peer to peer community where it is encouraged to be between customers (customers helping customers).
    I'm glad you was able to find your answers on Precentral. Precentral is the same as Palm and is driven by peer to peer communication, they have a community that is quite large and is always willing to help.

    Hello there, Mark.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with apps downloaded from the App Store:

    In your case you may also want to close all apps that are running during the "Restart the App" step.

  • Can someone help me find a particular photography app?

    I am trying to find a particular app and was hoping someone could help. It was an app i had on my iphone about 2 years ago. It was a photography app that you could take a picture and add a back ground pic and sound. For example one pic that we made was my nephew with bubbles floating all around him and it was playing some kind of relaxing music.
    Does anyone know what this app may be?
    Thank you for your help, Stacey

    Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I do not have it on my computer. The iphone was given to my husband and it was on there before. So I do not know if it was free or paid just that it was way cool, lol.
    Unfortunately I actually don't know any of the answers to your questions so I know that's not helpful. the only thing I know is that it has to be a few years old because the app was purchased in early 2009.
    I was kinda hoping that maybe someone would recognize it. I tried searching and searching through the photo apps but still have yet to find one that allows you to have a background sound and background effects in the picture....
    Hopefully someone will know what it is...

  • Can someone help with finding Abode Australia phone number?

    This is my first experience at trying to purchase from Abode.  I placed an order for my son, educational discount, and went back 2 days later to send his photo ID as required.  I thought I did thi when I hit 'review and submit' but nothing happened.  I keep being diverted to USA when I try and find a phone number.
    It looks like a simple email about a problem to the relevant country (or to any country!) isn't an option??
    I wish I'd never ordered it, now I have to wait 5 days to see if they're going to post it or not - when I could go to a sensible site and have no problems.
    This isn't worth the $35 student discount! (off their full price).  Other sites have a full price almost the same as the student price anyway.
    I'm wasting my life.  Do they want business or not?  I've bought a lot on the internet.  This is pure crazy!
    Anyway, if someone is more proficient around this rediculous site and can post the phone number for Abode in australia (or an email address) I would be thankful.  I'll NEVER go through this again.

    Yes, that's what I remember reading.  Thanks for finding that link.
    Note the comment that seems pertinent to the Abode/Adobe question:  "At the same time, though, people are quite often unaware of these misspellings"
    I suspect this is strengthened by the fact that 'b' and 'd' are obviously similar.
    Note also that ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ has made a similar transposition...  Assuming he was trying for an upside down "pat", wouldn't a 'd' have been better than a 'b' - i.e., ʇɐd ɹəuəllıʍ?
