I have A LOT of bookmarks on my computer. Can I only put a few on my phone?

Have a Samsung Galaxy Avant phone with Android 4.4.2 and am thinking of getting Firefox for Android. But I have A LOT of bookmarks on my computer and don't want to put them on my phone and clutter it up. Can I avoid syncing the bookmarks?

Yes, you can! Follow these steps:
# Tap the '''Menu''' button (either below the screen on some devices or at the top right corner of the browser) and select '''Settings'''.
# Tap '''Sync''' and uncheck the items you don't want to synchronize.
# Your changes will save automatically when you exit.

    Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and replacement.  It's broken.  There's no magic we can provide you.

    try a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • My phone was stolen, I have moved it in lost mode,but I can see that whoever has it,is changing phone name and can use it until I activate lost mode again.Can I do it permanently? How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone,it blocks Cloud memory?

    My phone was stolen, I have moved it in lost mode,but I can see that whoever has it,is changing phone name and can use it until I activate lost mode again.Can I do it permanently? How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone, as I cannot delete the stolen phone backup (says that backup is being in use) and this is keeping memory occupied in the Cloud and I cannot back-up the other devices.

  • I have 10Gb of photos on my iphone, so can choose only half of it (5Gb) and share it with icloud and leave the rest on my phone storage, or i must share all photos and videos (my whole camera roll)

    I have 10Gb of photos on my iphone, so can choose only half of it (5Gb) and share it with icloud and leave the rest on my phone storage, or i must share all photos and videos (my whole camera roll)

    No.  Your iCloud account only includes your the camera roll photos stored in the backup.  And they can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your phone.  Also, if you delete any photos from your camera roll and continue to back up, the backup that contained the deleted photos would be overwritten by one that doesn't and they would be lost.
    If you want to save some of them and delete them from your phone, import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. 
    Another option is to import all of them to your computer and delete them from your phone, then put the ones you want on your phone in a folder and sync them back to your phone by selecting the folder on the photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  The advantage of this approach is that synced photos are placed in an album called Photo Library, which is not included in the iCloud backup (since they are already backed up on your computer), thereby saving space in your iCloud account (which only backs up camera roll photos).

  • I have installed my download to my desktop computer, can I download this to my laptop?

    I have installed my download to my desktop computer, can I download this to my laptop?

    Which Adobe product and which version? Which operating system?
    Cloud: yes, you activate the software on a maximum of two computers at the same time regardless of operating system.
    Non-Cloud: depends. You can activate the software on a maximum of two computers but they must both be running either Mac OS X or both be running Windows. e.g. You cannot run a non-Cloud Mac version on Windows.

  • Do you have a lot of bookmarks in Safari???  Here's how to handle them:

    Bookdog...highly recommended!
    If you have lots of bookmarks in Safari you should take Bookdog for a spin (recommended for 10.3.9 & above). It is well worth the time and effort and definetly worth the $$ to buy the license. (I'm not associated with the software developer in any way, shape or form....I just like to recommend software that WORKS!!)
    I have over 3,000 bookmarks and I just downloaded the most recent version of Bookdog and it was able to go through all of them in a matter of minutes and let me know which were good and which were no longer useable. I then went through the list of questionable sites and was able to either update the URL or delete it completely. What a time saver!

    Hi Modiver,
    Thanks for letting us know, but I'm sure the most of us knowing about Bookdog already.
    I came from Jaguar to Panther an in the past I used the FREE version Safari-Sorter. Bookdog...maybe highly recommended, but why should I buy something that normally is integrated in a browser.

  • I have a lot of movies on my computer and need to free up memory.  What is the best solution, if I think I may need these movies in the future?

    I'm an elementary music teacher and my students perform regularly so I have a lot of their performances on my computer.  Now I need to free up memory so am wondering what the best solution would be, given that I may need access to these movies again in the future.
    I do have an external hard drive, but have never been able to figure out if you can store movies on it, instead of on the computer hard drive.
    Thanks so much!

    Good evening,
    I see you have another post about deleting movies and iDVD projects.  Wanting the video to be available in the future is a significant criteria because video files are very large and are very compressed to fit on a DVD.   If you want the video to be available in the future for additional editing (eg, highlights of the year), ideally you'd want to save the video in a format which will easily allow this.   To me, this suggests you delete the iDVD projects but keep the iMovie files for future editing.  This accomplishes the easy editing objective but keeps a lot of large files on your hard drive (each iMovie/iDVD project will be about 20% smaller -- assuming a 4 to 1 compression).
    If you are willing to accept some additional work in the future and are okay with some reduction in video quality, you can pull sections from an existing DVD and use iMovie to combine them.  The extra work is required to decompress the DVD, and this is also the reason for loss of some sharpness.  This strategy reduces the file size of your combined projects by about 80% if you save disc images (virtual DVDs), or if you save the physical  DVDs, you save 100% of the space.
    I'd decide about the tradeoffs before jumping into action.

    Hi djleong,
    The newer versions of Firefox (at least for me) have not had these issues. Either way, it is always a good idea to back up your personal information whenever you are attempting something like this. You should check out [[Backing up your information]] for details.
    After the update, you might want to check out this list of [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 common questions after updating] as well.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I have a lot of bookmarks, and I want to search them, similar to a file search on my computer; how can I do that? Please say it can be done.

    I need to be able to search my Firefox bookmarks. For example, I know I have a bookmark with wot in the name of it, but for the very life of me I cannot find it amongst all the bookmarks I have. There must be around a thousand (not exaggerating). I have no idea at all where I have saved it, and I know it's there, but I cannot find it.
    So how do I search my bookmarks similar to like I would search my computer for files?
    If FF doesn't have this capability, could you PRETTY PLEASE consider adding this functionality?

    Firefox does allow bookmark searching. From the 'Bookmarks' menu select 'Show all Bookmarks' (Ctrl + Shift + B). A new window will open showing the Bookmarks library. At the top right corner is a search box.
    Also, by default, when you start typing an address into the location/address bar at the top, Firefox suggests links from history & bookmarks. So you should be able to find it just there too. Click [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar|here]] to know more.
