Backing up favorites

My wife mostly uses MS Office and Safari on her iMac. I want to backup her data. Getting to the office docts is easy, of course. However, I'm not sure where to look for her Safari favorites/bookmarks to back them up. ~/Library/Favorites just contains an alias to Documents.
A hint would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
David

  • CAn you walk me through the process of getting back my "Favorites" bar? I accidentally deleted it and can't get it to come back up.

    I accidentally deleted my "Favorites" bar on my Mozilla Firefox bar at the top of my screen.
    Could you please give me some VERY detailed instructions to get this back. I am a technotard. I have not got a lot of computer know-how.
    Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

    You can right click on a toolbar (e.g. empty space on Tab bar) to get a context menu that allow to set which toolbars to display.
    If the menu bar is visible then use:
    * View > Toolbars
    If the menu bar is hidden and you have the orange Firefox button then use:
    * Firefox > Options

  • How can I make a back-up of my bookmarks in Safari?

    I am using Safari 1.3.1 (v312.3.3) and can't find a way to back-up my bookmarks. Apple's help area say I should be able to back up "favorites" by choosing export from the fle menu. I don't see an export or import at all! Does anyone know how I can make a back up for later import (for when my OS goes down)?

    At least in Tiger, there is no "save as" function for saving bookmarks. You can export the file to another location, preferably externally based. I don't believe Safari in Panther has this feature.
    For safe copies:
    One alternative is to copy ~/Library/Safari (includes Safari's bookmarks and history files) to a CD-R or RW disc or even DVD. You can include other crucial non-Safari files like your keychain, Library Application Support and Contextual Items folders, Internet Plug-ins, and if space permits documents etc.
    The far easier route is to invest in an external HD, creating a bootable clone of your entire system with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • How will my .json and .html backed up bookmarks import?

    Firefox 3.6.28
    OS 10.4.11
    Ibook G4
    Hi,
    I back up regularly both as .json and as .html. With the .json back up, I remove the date each time I back up so there's an over-write and there's only one .json back up file in my Backup Folder.
    I've never had to import bookmarks back into Firefox, but I've had a crash that's wiped out my Firefox bookmarks in the Firefox program where I kept the bookmarks in a very carefully indexed system of categories and menus that dropped down from the toolbar.
    When I import .json or .html back into Firefox, will my menubars re-set to the way I had them? I remember from a long time ago using Safari, I restored backed up favorites, and what I got was a long list of titled links which wasn't anything like the way I'd set the favorites up in the first place. I hope I don't get the restoration like that this time with Firefox. In addition, when I press 'Import' from the file menu, I'm only given the option of importing from Safari. That's not what I want to do. I have "Backups" in a designated folder in my Documents in the Finder and that's where I need to pull them from.
    There's something about "Profile" regarding Firefox that I've not known about that may have been something I needed to do in relation to Bookmarks.
    I would appreciate any help you could provide to help me my bookmarks back in place.
    Thanks,
    Rafael
    PS Regarding "Troubleshooting Information".
    I had to do it manually because the function doesn't support my veersion of Firefox.
    "# A new window will open. Click on a button called Copy text to clipboard."
    Did That
    "# Paste the info in the text box below."
    Did That
    * Click on the empty box above this text.
    I don't see an "empty box above this text." The box above isn't empty. It contains my question.
    So the following don't make sense because I already Pasted below.
    * Look at the top of your screen, and click the menu item called Edit.
    * A small box will open. Click on the item called Paste. Alternatively, type Ctrl+V or Command+V.
    * Some text will appear in the empty box.

    Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch Firefox with each profile.<br />
    Then you can set in the profile manager which profile to use by default if you click a link in an external program.

    Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and to run different Firefox instances simultaneously, but do not use -no-remote with the default browser and the default profile.

  • How to Save Favorite Effects?

    Ok....searched but did not find. I FORGOT how to do this. I'm using Digital Rebellions FCS maintenance pack...and often do a Quick Fix....THEN, i ALWAYS loose my Favorite effects under Favorites Tab.
    I remember there is a way to save my favorites to a file, but for the life of me don't recall how to do it or if i had done this in FCS maintenance pack--but don't see any reference to saving Favorites.
    Can someone chime in and give a quick answer...if i can do this within Digital Rebellions maintenance pack or just from FCP.
    Thanks communitiy!

    Favorite Effects are stored in your preference files. One of the troubleshooting tasks QuickFix performs is to trash the preferences. Before it does so, it backs up the preferences in case you wish to go back (these are the files listed as Auto Backups in Preference Manager).
    So you could restore the backup to bring back your favorite effects or you could save them into a project file by dragging them from the Filters tab into the Browser.

  • "My Pictures" folder deleted/moved from My Favorites sidebar in Finder – How to retrieve?

    I accidentally moved "My Pictures" folder from the My Favorites sidebar in Finder, and I can no longer find the folder. I've searched "all my files" for a My Pictures folder and nothing has come up, not even in the trash (that I haven't yet emptied). I am wondering if there is anyway of getting this folder back, as I had several pictures and folders organized within that My Pictures folder. All of my pictures are somewhere still on my computer but even they are hard to locate now without them being in any folder. Would be a HUGE pain to have to re-organize every single thing that was in that folder. Please if somebody has a solution, do share! Thank you!!!

    Okay, so I actually just figured it out.... If anybody is wondering/has the same problem with any folder:
    I went into Finder>All my files> Search and typed in "Pictures" and then went to the "gear looking icon" and clicked Search Criteria. Then changed the second option from "Document" to "Folder". (This explains why none of the folders were showing up). I then dragged the following folder back into "Favorites" sidebar. See Pictures attached.
    Thanks for the help anyway.

  • How to program favorites to only show watchable channels

    It really aggrivates me that I have to run through a thousand channels most of which I'm not subscribed to. Is there an easy way to program my DVR I guess through the favorites function to show only channels I get?
    I mean really I there are a heck of a lot of channels that I dont want and dont get but get caught every time I click on a channel just to be told I need to subscribe. I only want listed what I can watch, is there an easy way of doing that?

    Sure. I am in the process of trying to write up a fairly complete procedure to be posted here, but in the meantime here is the part about setting up your favorites list:
    The first step is to create at least one Favorites list, either Favorite 1 or Favorite 2:
    Menu ==> Settings ==> Favorite Channels ==> Favorite 1 ==> Add/Remove Channels ==> channel list
    Go through the entire list of channels, adding any channels you want by pressing the OK key. There are some keys you can use to make this process easier and faster:
    Use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to move through the channel list one channel at a time.
    Use the Channel + and Channel - button to move the channel currently visible at the bottom of the list to the top of the visible list (move forward or backward in the list about 10 channels at a time).
    Press any number key combination to move forward or backward from your current position in the list. Some examples:
    Press the 0 key to get to the top of the channel list
    Press 500 to go to the first HD channel in the list
    Press 9999 to go to the bottom of the list
    Once you are positioned at the channel you want to add to this Favorites list, press OK (if you make a mistake or change your mind, press OK again to remove the channel from the list)
    Next, update how the buttons on the remote work.
    The Favorites Button option controls what you see when you hit the Favorites button on the remote:
    Show Favorite Listings:  When you hit the Favorites button, you see Favorite 1 (or 2), and when you hit the Guide button you see the full list of all channels.
    Toggle Flip by Favorites: When you hit the Favorites button you do not see a Favorites list, instead you see a small display in the upper right part of the screen showing what hitting the Guide button will display: one of the Favorites or the full Guide. Repeatedly hitting the Favorites button will rotate through the options: Favorite 1 (if the list exists), Favorite 2 (if the list exists), and All Channels, back to Favorite 1, etc.
    The Flip by Favorites option determines which list shows up by default when you press the Favorites button:
    All Channels
    Favorite 1
    Favorite 2
    My preference is to set Favorites Button to Toggle Flip by Favorites and Flip by Favorites to Favorite 1; this way, hitting the Guide button causes my Favorites 1 list to appear, and hitting the Favorites button allows me to change which list appears when I hit the Guide button.
    The net effect of the above is that by default I see my favorites when I hit the Guide button, but I can easily change that to all channels at any time.
    The above is not fully edited or complete yet, but maybe it will help you get your Favorites set the way you want them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Favorite contacts  5th entry blank

    Hi New here
    i am having a problem when i enter contacts into my favorite contact list. the display shows all names but when i touch the fith entry to call the screen goes blank then when i touch the 6th entry the phone dials the 5th entry then when i touch the 7th entry the phone calls the 6th entry etc. any one else had this problem

    Bought my phone end of November 2010, updated software and found I had same problem. Did nothing but went to Apple store for advice and found problem resolved so looked an idiot. Just today I found problem had return. Of the 4 favorites 3 dialed tehh number above on list and last was blank (black screen and no dialling).
    I've followed advice found elsewhere here and favorites now work. It seems Face Time gets turned off and this causes a problem. Seems that numbers marked with Face Time screw system when Face Time is switched off.
    So, delete all favorites, go to Settings/Phone and turn on Facetime. Add numbers back in Favorites.
    Give it a try

  • Flash Player not working on other user accounts, only main.

    I have this problem everytime Flash updates and have only been able to fix it twice. On a Windows XP SP 2 I have 3 accounts. The main administator, an administator, and a guest account. Flash Player works for the main admin but not for the guest or other administrator. I cant watch videos anywhere on the other two accounts , like youtube or embeded or anything that requires flash and when I try to install it, it says its installed, which it is. I found this problem a while back and favorited it but I lost it unfortunatly and cannot find it again.
    I believe all I had to do last time was go into a file and replace a line of code with another and it worked, but since the update it hasnt.
    Please and Thank you.

    You mention "certain websites" where Flash will not load.  Are there pages that do display flash content on these accounts?
    You might want to walk through these two FAQ's to see if they help:

  • OneNote 2010 Windows logo key+s in Windows 8.1

    The screen clipper function from OneNote 2010 has stopped working in Windows 8.1. Is there any way to either change the short cut key in Windows 8.1 for the search function or the short cut key in OneNote to another key so they do not overlap?

    Hi,
    The OneNote clipping shortcut key in Win 8.1 has changed to Windows + Shift + S. If you don’t like this, we can change it to Windows + A by modifying registry.
    For more information, please refer to the following blog:

  • Register failk error in IE

    Hello,
    When the java plug-in is needed, I get a register failk error... then when I clode that alert, I get a Java Plug-In Fatal Error... which says "The Bridge was installed at <file location> but the class is not there. Modify the registry key to reflect the new bridge location.
    The key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in or change your CLASSPATH to include the new directory"
    is there any way to fix this? I need to be able to use the plugin version 1.4.2_08
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    This is going to sound really peculiar, but I was getting that same error and I stumbled across the fix by accident.
    I was using plugin version 1.4.2._10
    The error message was exactly the same.
    I was reconstructing a profile and was transferring the shortcuts back into favorites one at a time and one of the favorites was causing the error.
    take out the shortcut - no error
    put back the shortcut - error
    go figure.
    The shortcut was to an document database application on one of our servers.
