Getting folder from older bookmarks list into current list

Through syncing between Safari on my MacBook Air and my iPad I lost a folder in my bookmarks list that is important to me. Through Time Machine I've recovered a version of the list that has the missing folder. I don't know how to get the folder into the current bookmarks list. Help appreciated.
Bookmark creation and editing of bookmarks is one area where Safari could in my opinion be significantly improved: The display of the bookmarks list when adding a bookmark is confusing and difficult to negotiate; there is no provision for sorting the bookmarks list; provision for editing the bookmarks list is primitive and cumbersome.
The value of having a backup bookmarks list is limited if the only thing you can do is replace the current list with the backup. It should be possible to move bookmarks and folders between the backup and the current list.

Thanks. I used Xmarks once, way back.
I find syncing of bookmarks through syncing of Safari through iCloud VERY confusing. With syncing activated, it is impossible to edit the bookmarks list on any device. As soon as you make a change, syncing converts it back to what's on the other devices. Even shutting the other devices down doesn't prevent that from happening.
I was able to edit the list on my MBA just now only by shutting wifi off, creating a copy of the edited list once I was done so if syncing overwrote the edited list I wouldn't have to do it all over again. When I turned wifi back on the changes persisted and have apparently been updated to my other devices.
Also confused about possible interaction between syncing through Xmarks and iCloud.
I can recover an older copy of my bookmarks list using Time Machine. But if I simply overwrite the current copy with the older one I lose any changes made since the last Time Machine backup.
So--I think--my question--how to get a folder from an older list into a newer one--is still unanswered.

How do I get all my pins (bookmarks) to show up on maps rather than choosing one from the bookmark list?

How do I get all my pins (bookmarks) to show up on maps rather than having to choose from the bookmark list? I can see my list getting very large and more cumbersome to search. In google maps, all my starred locations show up on my map.

What software do I need to get music from a vinyl record into ITunes

What software do I need to get music from a vinyl record into ITunes

When I used Audacity to digitize some of my LPs I would record the whole album, then trim the lead in, select and export the first track, delete that, then export the next track, and so on. You can zoom in and out to locate the track breaks. There is a snap to zero point option which should prevent clicks on track transitions. If you want to go deeper you can add fade in and out so you don't snap into the sound of the groove. (I was using a pretty ropey turntable). There are other tools that chop up audio but you should be able to do it all in Audacity reasonably quickly once you get your eye in. I'm sure there are tools that can chop audio at pre-specified points, or even calculate where those points should be, but they are unlikely to be free and probably still need a degree of supervision.

Does anybody knows how to get sound from my Mac Mini into my Bose Lifestyle V35?

You don't mention which version of Mac Mini that you have. Here is some info from Apple.

HT4910 How do i get photos from my Camera Roll into my Photo Stream?

How do i get photos from my Camera Roll into my Photo Stream? It seems it is supposed to do it automatically , but it does not.

Photos are normally uploaded automatically as long as you are connected to wifi, have the camera app closed and have at least 20% battery life remaining. (It doesn't require a manual iCloud backup first.)
If yours are working, if you haven't already done so, try turning off photo stream, then turn it back on.
Sometimes people have issues getting photo stream to work on their home wifi, even if other devices in the home seem to work fine. To troubleshoot this as a possible cause, some things to try include:
Power-cycling your router (unplug for 15 seconds, then plug back in), then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then rejoin your wifi network.
See if there is a firmware update available for your router.
Change the DNS settings in your router to Google's Public DNS (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using)
As a diagnostic step, go to a public wifi hotspot and take a photo, then wait a minute or so to see if it appears in your My Photo Stream album on your phone. If it does, this confirms that the problem is with your home wifi.

Can't get rid of old bookmark list for current list to save for backup

My computer was infected with malware and crashed in November. I lost everything but was able to get my bookmarks back with a jump drive.
I then went in and removed a lot of bookmarks and folders, and have added a lot of other folders and bookmarks over time. I do mean a lot.
I am now trying to make a current back up, but every time I try to export it to html format it reverts back to the original list that was edited to the current list, which I can see, and even though it does light up when I select all, it again reverts back to the original list for export, and will not show the list as is now.
Am curious why the original list is even here, as it should of disappeared when the computer crashed, so how can it still be here is another question, but this is not my main question of course.
How do I get rid of the original list and get it to export the current list for back up? PLEASE! Once bitten twice shy.
Running XP Professional on a Sony Vaio 2002.
I have tried to make a copy in a word doc but cannot get it to "copy" to paste to put it into that format.
Thank you in advance, Trisha

I'm still unclear what is happening when you export.
This article has the steps to export bookmarks to an HTML file: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]].
Are you saying that the file you export contains the old bookmarks that you removed, or the old bookmarks reappear in Firefox when you try to export??
The JSON format consists of text, but isn't meant to be easily read. Its real purpose is to be restored back to Firefox is you lose your bookmarks. So it is a convenient backup format.
I can understand that you aren't sure what it contains. If you'd like to see how it restores, you can copy the .json file to a convenient location (e.g., thumb drive or documents folder) and restore it into a new Firefox profile.
This doesn't replace your existing Firefox settings, but would be an independent settings folder that exists alongside it. You can create and switch between profiles for testing, to isolate different users, or other purposes. Just don't delete any profiles without backing up the ones you really care about, just in case something were to go wrong during the process.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
When creating a new profile, I recommend using the default location suggested, and to avoid data loss, not re-using any existing folder.
Once you get the new profile with its default bookmarks, you can restore your last .json backup to see what it includes. This is where the "convenient location" comes in: when using the steps in the following article, you will use "Choose File" to locate that .json file.

Transferring home folder from Tiger 4.11 into a MacBook Pro w/ Leopard

I just got word that my PB Aluminum 1.67 that was to be repaired via Apple is now
going to be upgraded to a Apple MacBook Pro
First of I'm (happily) shocked by this offer, and now I begin a new realm into intel technology
MacBook Pro, and now... Leopard! Which I didn't want to install on my Aluminum PB I went only
as far as Tiger 4.11.
My inquiry is on transferring my back up home folder from the Aluminum Tiger 4.11 to the MacBook
Pro using Leopard.
Is that at all possible so I can restore my passwords, etc..into Leopard.
I also have PhotoShop 6 and Microsoft X software, would this be a problem installing or using
in the MacBook Pro?
Just concern about software compatibility with this upgrade.
appreciate feedback.. Aimee

Check with the third-party software vendor to find out if there are any compatibility issues or if you will need to upgrade. Older software may be PPC-only. They will run on an Intel Mac through the Rosetta emulator, but upgrading to a Universal Binary version would be the better course of action.
See:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
Basically the instructions you should follow are:
1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Revised 3/12/2008
Generally, there should not be any migrating problems between the Intel versions of Tiger and Leopard other than third-party software may require upgrading for compatibility.

Get users from Global Address List (GAL) using FindPeople operation of Office 365

I need to find details of all users using FindPeople operation. If I perform any search by giving value in the <QueryString> element, I get result from both GAL + My Contacts but if I remove the QueryString, I am forced to provide folder name in which
to search else I get "Internal error" resonse.
Is there any way I can retrieve/browse all the users in GAL ?

>> I need to find details of all users using FindPeople operation
How big is your GAL ? the problem with using a QueryString if you want all users is even if you use a string like SMTP: this will only return the first 100 entires in the GAL. There is a note in the link Laeeq posted that states " When
searching the GAL as the primary search folder, you must specify a query string instead of a restriction, because this operation does not allow for browsing of the GAL."
One way you can use to browse the GAL using this operation is to use the Guid of the Gal (or other address list you want to browse) you can get the Addresslist guid using the Get-GlobalAddressList cmdlet
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996579(v=exchg.150).aspx and then you can use code like
FindPeopleType fpType = new FindPeopleType();
IndexedPageViewType indexPageView = new IndexedPageViewType();
indexPageView.BasePoint = IndexBasePointType.Beginning;
indexPageView.Offset = 0;
indexPageView.MaxEntriesReturned = 100;
indexPageView.MaxEntriesReturnedSpecified = true;
fpType.IndexedPageItemView = indexPageView;
fpType.ParentFolderId = new TargetFolderIdType();
DistinguishedFolderIdType contactsFolder = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();
AddressListIdType adList = new AddressListIdType();
adList.Id = "2117949e-abe8-4915-91eb-9999f867fd8de";
fpType.ParentFolderId.Item = adList;
FindPeopleResponseMessageType fpm = null;
do
fpm = esb.FindPeople(fpType);
if (fpm.ResponseClass == ResponseClassType.Success)
foreach (PersonaType PsCnt in fpm.People) {
Console.WriteLine(PsCnt.EmailAddress.EmailAddress);
indexPageView.Offset += fpm.People.Length;
else {
throw new Exception("Error");
} while (fpm.TotalNumberOfPeopleInView > indexPageView.Offset);

Why would I get artifacts of my bookmarks list on my toolbar and desktop after I select a bookmarked website?

Hi there, After upgrading to Windows7 64bit from XP32bit I installed Firefox and imported my bookmarks. Whenever I scroll through my bookmarks, if I choose a folder that has enough websites to overlay over my taskbar or desktop and select one of said websites, the part that was overlaid over the taskbar/desktop remains and can only be cleared by clicking on the taskbar or by creating a box with my cursor on the desktop to overlay the remains of the bookmark list. I'm sorry if If I've explained this badly and I'd be happy to send you a printscreen to make it easier to understand. Many thanks, Jerry

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How to drag sections/pages from separate Pages document into current document using Pages 5

I want to clarify whether or not Pages 5 allows users to drag individual pages and/or sections from separate Pages documents into the user's current working document. This feature was available in Pages 4 but seems to have been eliminated in the upgraded version.

You can take this to be the answer for most things Pages 5…
… No!
Use Pages '09 instead.

Query Data from other Oracle Database into current

Hi all,
I have to query data from another oracle database into the current oracle database. Because the customer has standard edition, I cannot use a pipe. I tried "SELECT column_name FROM external_oracle_db.schema.table WHERE column_name = 'column_value';" Unfortunately this does not work.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks
Hans

Have you tried with Database links?
SELECT column_name FROM schema.table@external_oracle_db WHERE column_name = 'column_value';
