I had all my files, including bookmarks, backed up to my NAS when my hard drive failed. How do I import these bookmarks to Firefox on my new notebook? Is there a single HTML file I should be looking for on my NAS?
I had all my files, including bookmarks, backed up to my NAS when my hard drive failed. How do I import these bookmarks to Firefox on my new notebook? I can easily find the folder "Favorites" on my NAS, but can't get Firefox to "see" this folder, or my bookmarks.
If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

My PC hard drive died and I have replaced it. Need to import the music on my classic iPod, but get a message that it's synced with another library (old hard drive). How do I import the music onto the new hard drive? Senuti (one respondent's suggestion) is just for macs. I have no old hard drive to copy to the new hard drive (another respondent's suggestion.)
See this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod back to your PC.

I want to restore 300 Gigs of data, saved to Time Machine, on my new iMac 27". I want my OS on the 256G SSD, but I want all the other data (which can be separated) on the 2TB internal hard drive. How do I do that?
The Apple article will transfer everything from one volume to another. Doing what you want is not simple, unfortunately.
See Transferring Home Folders not on a Startup volume, especially scenario #1 in the gray box there.
That's just recently reworded and revised; please advise if it's not clear or you have problems with it. -

Hard Drive Failed - How to get Blog/iWeb back to new hard drive?
Our hard drive failed and none of the data is recoverable. I have a new hard drive and want to do a new post on our blog, but am worried it will delete our old blog (hence all our pix etc too) if I publish from this empty new blog. How do I get the old blog back on our computer from the iDisk I guess? Any help would be great cuz I have no clue what I'm doing!

You can only sysc with one iTunes library. The new computer is a new library. You have to restore your iPod on the new conputer and then sync.

All my Firefox settings (home page, etc.) had to be reset, but I can't figure out how to import my bookmarks from my backup folder (not in Firefox Library) to the toolbar. Can I drag and drop?
The answer is yes you can drag and drop, but I am not too clear what you have done, so I will attempt to briefly answer likely possibilities.
If you will bear with me I will try to explain some of my understandings about Firefox and its bookmarks. Although you see them in the library or sidebar they are stored in a database, along with other info in a file called ''places.sqlite'' . That resides in something called the profile. Firefox also does some clever tricks to back those up and restore them as necessary, so has a backups folder. Additionally it allows the bookmarks to be exported or imported as two types of file .html (try to avoid) or .json
So one question is what sort of files have you managed to keep ?
Now talking about the Firefox Bookmarks Library <br> you may note that has by default a folder or directory called 'bookmarks toolbar'
Anything in the bookmarks toolbar within the library will appear on the toolbar you see. (space permitting, and sometimes as nested folders)
You can drag and drop to your hearts content within the library, including to the folder for the toolbar.
(It allows a lot more, for instance
<br>- dragging onto a desktop to make a shortcut
<br>- to or from another open library or browser window
<br>- dragging and dropping to become a tab, or as a toolbar item)
If you exported your bookmarks as a standard .json file before working on your computer, then you should have them stored somewhere as a .json file. If you open the library it gives you the option under import and export to browse for and import files.
It is rather more complicated if you stored the raw data files/folders from a profile.

I want all my emails to be saved in one folder off my regular hard drive. How do I do this?
I have several email accounts for 2 businesses. I wish to be able to back them up to one folder on an external hard drive. When I select the same folder I get the message that, the folder is in use with another email address. I don't wish to have 8 separate email folders. Is there a way around this?
You can configure each account to keep the messages in Local Folders:
Options: Account Settings: <account name>: Server Settings: Message Storage: Advanced button.
Or if you just want all the messages in the same folder for backup purposes, then "Archive" the messages in the same archive.
Options: Account Settings: <account name>: Copies & Folders: Message Archives. -

I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them? No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!
1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

My itunes can not upgrade. it is looking for athe Itunes.MSI file, but it is unable to find it on the C:drive. How do I correct the error, and reinstall Itune for my Iphone, Ipad and Ipod?
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.

I had all my software, including my ‘Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium’ removed from my MacPro (OSX 10.10.2) by a Computer technician after I had inadvertently installed some malware.
Now I can’t reinstall my CS4 because the installer software wants me to identify the product from which I am upgrading, but mine isn’t on the list. The old product from which I am upgrading is called ‘Adobe Design Collection’. Furthermore, it has 4 serial numbers (one each for Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Illustrator), not just one, as the installer requires.
I know this can be done, as I have had it working for a long time. Am I doing something wrong now?Contact support be web chat and have them generate a working temporary serial/ challenge code for the install.
