Computer crashed, new computer how do I find lost bookmarks?

My old computer crashed [Windows 8.1]. I have a new computer [8.1]. I do not know about file saving. If my old bookmarks still exist in some form of Firefox storage, I would like to know how to recover them.
If the old bookmarks do not exist in any form of storage in Firefox, then I would know to stop trying to recover them.
I do have the old bookmarks in a Word document (30 pages). Can the Word document be loaded into Firefox? I have tried converting it into HTML, but when loading it into Firefox I get strings of computer code instead of bookmarks.

Your bookmarks and history are stored in the ''places.sqlite'' file in your Firefox profile folder. While Firefox is closed, you can replace the current file with the old one. Doing so will replace your current set of bookmarks and history. You may want to backup the current file beforehand.

The ''bookmarkbackups'' folder under the profile folder contains automatic backups of your bookmarks. These backups can be restored, replacing your current set of bookmarks with the old one.

  • Computer crashed, new computer, need to download music again

    Hi--
    So my old computer crashed and I now would like to have all of the music I purchased off of my old computer on my new computer. How do I go about doing this through the itunes music store?

    I presume when your hard drive crashed nothing was recoverable from it. You could try contacting the iTMS Customer Service and see if you can persuade them to allow a second download. However below is an extract from the support page which as you can see states that is you lose your music you have to buy it over again. You can email them from the "backing up your music" link on this page: iTMS Customer Service
    Why do I need to back up my music library?
    Be sure to make regular backups of your music files (in your iTunes Music folder) by copying them to an external hard disk or other media. Otherwise, if your hard disk becomes damaged or you lose any of the music you've purchased, you'll have to buy any purchased music again to rebuild your library.

  • Old computer crashed new computer accusing me of stealing

    I had an old computer that crashed on me about a month ago. I have a 1GB iPod Shuffle. It was full of music at the time. I got my replacement computer and installed the cd on it. When I plugged my ipod shuffle into my new computer it loaded all of the songs from it onto my computer. Then I got an error message on my screen and I had to unplug the ipod it get it to stop. I did go through the proper steps before I disconnected it. Now when I plug it in all it does is error everything until I disconnect it. I also did try to restore the settings on it but it just errors. I also received an ipod nano 2gb for christmas this year. I have plugged it in to my computer just fine and downloaded all the songs off my library on to that one. I'm not too good with these ipods but my 14 year old little brother is, but he's stumped too. Any one offer any suggestions? It's only a year old? Is it already junk?

    Could you be a bit more specific about the error

    Well now I think I have bigger problems. I just tried to plug it into my computer so I could write down what the error message was and now my computer won't pick it up and the ipod won't light up now. When I tried it this morning it did. I think it's hopeless.

  • HT4527 When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, even though all of songs were copied over, not all of them went to iTunes, some appear to be stored elsewhere. How can I find these songs, and how do I transfer them to iTunes?

    When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, all my songs were copied over, but not all of them were stored in iTunes. It appears they are on the computer somewhere, but not on iTunes. Where are these other songs likely to be, and how can I get them onto iTunes? Because of this problem, Apple will not allow me to update my iPhone.

    You may/must have had music files stored outside of your iTunes library.
    I'd recommend going to the Finder and then via the search box look for files with mp3 aif m4a aac etc. depending on the music format your digital music had. With the list of files shown you should be able to learn which files were stored outside of your music > itunes folder
    Chances are they could be burried somewhere under your documents, downloads, desktop, ... we all have different storage and organization habits.
    Then when you find the missing files, on the new computer you can do add to library and go to the folder on the other computer where the missing files are - if your systems are networked - or sneak them over using a USB thumb drive or portable hard drive if you have lots of files, or if you like to have an extra backup of that music, copy to optical disc.

  • Computer crashed; new C drive. How do I restore/recover my bookmarks on Sync? Would rather not start from square one.

    Computer crashed; new C drive installed. How do I restore/recover my bookmarks on Sync? Would rather not start from square one.

    Without the Sync Key, even if you could connect and download your data from the Sync server it would be useless without your Sync Key. The Sync Key is used to encrypt & decrypt the data going to & coming from the Sync server.

  • My computer was stolen. How do I find it if I dont know that I have icloud?

    My computer was stolen. How do I find it if I dont know that I have icloud?

    To find your mac using Cloud, you previously must have enabled  "Find my Mac" in iCloud for your stolen computer, and your mac must be connected to a Wi-Fi network; only then you should be able to determine its location by visiting icloud.com in your web browser.
    Report your mac as stolen to the local authorities.

  • How to copy all the data from old computer to new computer (server)

    Dear all,
    As I want to upgrade the server from old computer to a new one.
    I want to ask how and easy way to copy all of table, sequence, ......data from existing old computer to new computer.
    The old server is window 2000 Server with oracle 10g
    The new server may window 2003 Server with oracle 10g
    Thanks a lot
    Francis SZE

    As far as I can see you are copying from db10g for windows to another host on the same platform and same OS, so a simple cold backup taken from the source database can be restored at the target host. You must first make sure the configuration files and service be created prior to performing the database startup procedure at the target host. You may also as suggested, perform an rman duplication task

  • Moved to a new computer running windows 7. what happened to the bookmark sidebar? how do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?

    new computer, loaded Firefox 4. What happened to bookmark sidebar? How do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?
    old computer is offline, so if I have to make a copy of something hopefully it can be done offline.
    Don't really understand why windows 7 renders Firefox so different that XP. Will change, but really like the old feel.

  • I have a new pc how can i find my old music

    i have a new pc how can i find my old files

    If you are just transfering purchased music then when you iPhone is plugged in, right click on the name of it on the left hand side of iTunes, click transfer purchased.
    If you want to transfer all media from your iPhone to your computer, if it isn't all purchased through iTunes, then you are going to have to buy software that will do it.
    http://www.mp4converter.net/iphone-transfer-mac.html should work, I haven't used it before but it looks promising and the reviews are good.

  • Transferring Files from Old Computer to New Computer

    I upgraded my iTunes to 9.1.1 on my old computer (and new computer). On the old computer, I have everything organized in playlists. When I transferred all my music from my old computer to my new computer (via ipod), my playlists do not show up. All the songs are in Music on the top of iTunes. Is there anyway to transfer the itunes exactly as it appears on my old computer to my new computer? Would a USB transfer cable take care of this problem? Please help

    Hi there,
    what you did is only transfer all of the MEDIA files into your new computer's iTunes. There is no problem with doing this, but all the media files include are well, the media obviously, and the tagging info (which displays name/artist/album/etc.) If all you do is move the media files onto the new computer and load iTunes, a new copy of iTunes (with no playlists/ratings/play counts and new settings) will load up, and put your content in it.
    If you wish to preserve your playlists/ratings/etc, you need to import the iTunes Library File as well. This is by default located in your iTunes directory. So instead of just moving everything from "iTunes Media" (default location), it is best to move the ENTIRE "iTunes" folder, with the Library file and your media files.
    However, one trick may still work. If you transfer JUST the Library file over (iTunes Library.itl), transfer it to your new computer, REPLACE the current iTunes Library file with the old one (so delete the new one, put the old one there). Open iTunes while holding SHIFT down the whole time, until a screen pops up asking you to find a library. Select choose library, and go to the location of the Library file we just moved. Select it, and if all goes well your playlists should be there!
    You might come across one issue however, and that is if you changed the relative location of your media files. For example if you USED to have it on an external drive "my Music" and now it is on the internal drive in a folder labeled "iTunes Music", the computer may not be able to find your songs because it is looking in the wrong place. If that happens, and you are willing to lose your play counts and ratings, it actually might be more of a time saver to start over again and make your playlists from scratch.

  • Transfering my music from old computer to new computer....

    Hi there I tried to do a home share with my laptop, old computer and new computer. For some reason I can't get the new computer to so show my music on iTunes (even the stuff I purchased). How do I get the music to the new computer? I would like to give my kids the old computer and take all my stuff off of it. Does this make sense because I don't know if I am describing it correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    My mistake....I have the 2nd generation. These things change so quickly I didn't know what I had. sorry for confusion. I'll post on the 2nd generation board.
