Bookmarks from safari not transferring over properly

Using intel mac pro, I am having problem moving my bookmarks into FireFox 4 .
Trying to migrate my windows base bookmarks saved in a file directly using the import feature in Firefox. it only allows bookmarks already in browser. (Safari on a Mac. No other option)
So I transferred my bookmarks into safari with no problem, trying to transfer working bookmarks into FF-4 does not work, all my bookmarks open up URL web address code.
I’ve tried following the procedure on your help file with no success…

Just guessing, but maybe the app from which your pdf was created was configured to make a ligature "ti" out of the separate characters "t" and "i". This ligature would have its own character code no. - which may then not be properly interpreted by PowerPoint 2007?
Were ligatures - fi, fl ffi etc. - always involved in the other text corruption instances?

Pdf to ppt. Text is not transferring over properly

Hi, when I convert my pdf files to ppt files some of the text is distorted. For example:
It should be: "Best practices to be considered"
Instead I get this: "Best prac4ces to be considered"
Or letters are missing in the ppt slides.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using the trial version Adobe Acrobat XI trial version and PowerPoint 2007

I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

Import and Backup is the third (last) button on the toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) that looks like a star. 
Other platforms show the text label, but on Mac you only see toolbar icons.

My photos are not transferring over from iCloud

My photos are not transferring over from iCloud.I have put my device back to factory settings and still they will not transfer over.The only device all my photos are still on is my iPhone.

If it appears to not be making any progress even though you have a strong wifi signal, sometimes turning the phone off, then back on will get things going again. Otherwise about all you can do is try restoring the backup again. If you still have the old phone, you could also try creating an iTunes backup, then restoring that backup to your new phone.

Cannot import bookmarks from Safari because "import" option is NOT highlighted (not available). Why?

MacBook Pro - FireFox 4
I was able in the past (earlier FireFox versions) to import bookmarks from Safari when clicking on the "Organize Bookmarks." This now is not available. Instead, under "file" there is an "import" option but it is NOT highlighted, i.e., it is not available for clicking. How do you import bookmarks from Safari (or any other browser) after you have used FireFox for a while. i.e., not when you first set it up, but later?

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.
The option to import can be disabled if you are in private browsing mode. To stop Firefox opening in private browsing mode do this:
# Open the Preferences window and go to the Privacy panel
# Change the setting "Firefox will" to "Remember history", alternatively if you set it to "Use custom settings for history", de-select the setting "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

TS1702 Just bought iPad Air. All apps from previous iPad transferred over except one game. How can I get the app on this iPad? It does not even show up in purchased apps.

Just bought an iPad Air. All apps from previous iPad transferred over except one. The app does not appear in my purchased apps. How can I move this app over?

Some apps do indeed come off the market. The vendor stops selling or supporting them for whatever reason.
That is likely what happened.
See if the app is still in the App Store. If so, you can download it. If not, it is gone.

How do I copy my bookmarks from Safari on my iMac to my new iPhone 6?

How do I copy my bookmarks from Safari on my iMac to my new iPhone 6?

Hello!
Here is the manual. iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer - Apple Support
- Note that the manual presupposes you have Mountain Lion installed on your Mac, which is what it says in your message, so I'm assuming you have.
Also, I suppose you're not using iCloud. If you ARE using iCloud on your Mac and iPhone, I recommend using that for your bookmarks over USB-syncing. Here's the manual for that: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List - Apple Support
The relevant excerpt:
Turn iCloud Bookmarks off and back on:
Quit Safari.
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud.
If you are using OS X Mavericks or Mountain Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Safari. If you are using OS X Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Bookmarks.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
Select the checkbox next to Safari (or Bookmarks). Click Merge.
Close System Preferences.
Open Safari and test to see if the issue is resolved.

Cannot import bookmarks from Safari on a Mac because "import" under the file menu is grayed out.

To import bookmarks from Safari on a Mac following the instructions for the import wizard, I am to select "import" under the Firefox file menu, but "import" is grayed out, so I cannot select it.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode. In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
* Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

Can I copy my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox if they are on the same computer?

I would like to use Firefox and I want to '''copy''' the bookmarks I have in Safari. I have a Mac with OS10.6 and both Safari and Firefox are on the same computer. I want to know if Firefox is more friendly since I do a lot of writing.

You should update to Firefox 6.0.1 through Help > About > Check for updates
before testing rather than be disappointed with a Firefox update after testing.
All browsers can use the Netscape bookmarks formatted HTML file to copy bookmarks. But according to documentation you can import directly from Safari. Hopefully that applies to your Mac, because it is not shown as an option for me on Windows 7.
'''Import bookmarks''' - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#From_Safari
"'''Firefox imports Safari settings automatically'''. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too. "
If that does not work:
:'''Exporting Bookmarks from Safari:''' (from Safari Help)
# Choose File > Export Bookmarks.
# Specify a location for the exported file. The file's name will be "Safari bookmarks.html." Most browsers are able to import this type of file.
'''Importing Bookmarks into Firefox:'''
#"Command+Shift+B" to bring up Bookmarks Library List, can be done from Bookmarks menu > "Show all bookmarks"
# "Import and Backup" menu > Import HTML > From an HTML file
#: (unless you see From Safari)
Firefox uses the same keyboard shortcut to display menus as used on Safari (on a PC it is the "Alt" key).
Firefox is highly customizable, so you can change the appearance, and a lot of what would be done in other browsers must be done using extensions in Firefox, but the extensions for the "same" feature probably give you a lot more functionality and control. In the following making Firefox look more like 3.6 would be of interest if you are used to other older browsers -- Safari grew up independently so other browsers are more alike.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional. (later on)
'''Keyboard Shortcuts:'''
* Firefox Support Home Page | Firefox Help Adapts to your system, but a very limited number of shortcuts are shown https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table) Long list of shortcuts but Windows oriented, most other systems use similar http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm

If you export bookmarks from Safari to an html file, can you import them into Firefox using Import from the bookmark library window Import and Backup menu item?

HT4759 Cannot sync my bookmarks from Safari Web Browser to iPad.

I cannot sync my bookmarks from Safari Web Browser to my iPad.
When connected to iTunes it lists that my bookmarks are being synced via iCloud, but I cannot see where my bookmarks are being stored on iCloud.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.

Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
Thank you
