How can I get my bookmarks and mailboxes off my old iBook G4 that crashed?

My OS crashed. I reinstalled it, but still could not access anything. I took the computer to a repair person. He created a new account and retrieved everything I had on my desktop, but not my mailboxes or bookmarks. He said there is a way to do that, but it would be very expensive for me to have him do it. He said I could come here and find out. So here I am.
I can get online and to the desktop of this new account, but that's all. How can I get that stuff? I need it very badly.......
It was an iBook G4 14" with 10.4.11.
Thanks!

Here is what macjack has offered:

I found an old iPod classic of mine. It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro. How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer? When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone. I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer. Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer. I don't want to do that. I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes. Any help? Thanks!

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How can I get my Boot Camp partition off my old drive?

I swapped out the stock 160gb drive that came in my MacBook Pro since it was acting up. I installed a new drive and restored it with Time Machine, but now my Boot Camp partition is still on my old drive. I slipped my old drive into a usb sata enclosure and tried booting from it in hope I could back it up with Winclone. When I went into the startup disk selector the drive would not show up (but it sounded like it was trying to spin up). Earlier when I pulled the drive out of my MacBook Pro it was still functioning fine, so I do not think the drive has failed.
Any ideas on how I can get the Boot Camp partition off the old drive? Thanks for your help.

Some drives require more current to spin-up from a "cold start" than most USB ports put out, even if the port supplies. Additionally, if the drive is failing, it may require even more power for the startup.
I have a couple USB enclosures with external AC power that I keep around in case I run into drives like this. Failing that, I also have a couple of USB cables which use 2 ports to provide additional current. Also the cable length, and gauge makes a difference.

How do I get my files and photos off my old computer

I have an old Mac G4 and just got a new iMac. I have them both hooked up to my Bell Turbo Hub But they do not see each other so that I can transfer files and photos off the old computer. Help

If you have a Thunderbolt to Firewire cable you vpcan start the G4 in target disk mode and connect it directly to your new iMac. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
Or you can connect them via either firewire/thunderbolt or ethernet and use Migration Assistant http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4889

How can I get my apps and pics off my iPad 2 to my iPad 3?

I need to get all my apps and such off my iPad 2 and am not sure how to do that.

You can copy all iTunes purchases from your iPad 2 to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You can then force a backup of the iPad (assuming that you want to restore it onto your iPad 3) by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'Backup', and you can copy off photos/videos that you've taken with the iPad to your computer : photos to computer. Photos and videos that you've taken with the iPad that are in the Camera Roll album will be included in the backup (and therefore copied via a restore), but you may want to take your own backup of them.

I had an old version on my iBook G4 Mac 10.39 and I tried to upload and now lost everything. How can I get my bookmarks and firefox back?

Firefox was working just fine on my 2004 ibook G4 computer with a Mac 10.39 browser. Then, I got an email message that I needed to upgrade my browser in order to see the new Yahoo email. So I clicked on the link and it took me Firefox 4. I downloaded it and then it asked if I wanted to replace my old Firefox and I said 'Yes". BIG mistake because when I tried to open firefox 4 - I got the error message: Firefox won't open because it is incomplete or damaged. Then, I couldn't get my old firefox back and I lost all of my hundreds of bookmarks. Please advise and help me! I have been searching for hours for an old version of Firefox to download that is compatible with my iBook and to no avail. Please tell me where to go to download a new Firefox please.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever release for Mac OSX 10.3.9 and earlier versions. 
Get it here:

I had an old version on my iBook G4 Mac 10.4.11 and I tried to upload and now lost everything. How can I get my bookmarks and firefox back?

I would like to install the older version that will work with this OS abut I can't find anything your website. I did find an answer for OS 3 and a link to firefox 2.0 but I know I had firefox 3.0 and would like that back.
thanks.

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

Or you can get 3.6.16 here.

How Can I get my bookmarks From My Sync account without my sync key after a hard drive crash?

My Computer Hard Drive crashed before I could back up my Sync Key or add another device. How can I get My bookmarks from my sync account without resetting the sync key and wiping my data?

Not from Mozilla. Nobody knows your Sync Key except for you. 
Is that hard drive usable at all? Like as an external disk in a USB hard drive enclosure?
If so, you can recover your Firefox data from that drive.

How can I get my bookmarks onto my computer?

I'm trying to get all of my Safari bookmarks on my iPad downloaded onto my computer and I thought Cloud was the only way to do that. I've already synced the iPad with Cloud but the only option that comes up is for me to "Merge bookmarks with the iCloud". It says that if I do that it will merge the information on my pc with the ones in Cloud. How can I get the bookmarks on my iPad to merge onto the Cloud?

Hi Labtheis,
If you are having issues using iCloud Bookmarks with your iPad, you may want to double check that Safari is enabled in the iCloud settings on your iPad. You may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

When I click on GBookmarks the menu doesn't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again?

When I click on GBookmarks on the menu bar, my bookmarks don't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again? What shows up now when I click on the GBookmarks are 4 choices: Add bookmarks, manage bookmarks, options, and refresh. How can I get my menu of booksmarks to drop down again? I can go to manage bookmarks and then find my bookmarks, but it's a 3 step process now instead of one. What happened here?

The reviews for the GBookmarks extension agree that there is some problem recently.

The support page lists an email address for support: http://www.suchisoft.com/ext/gbookmarks.php
I ran a web search for other recent discussion and didn't come up with any answers. Hopefully the extension's author has time to look into it.

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size? I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems. They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

How can i recover my bookmarks and saved passwords?

i have accidentally uninstalled Firefox software. how can i recover my bookmarks and saved passwords for the various sites. Please help on this regard. I'm in a serious trouble now.

If you have removed your personal data when uninstalling Firefox then the Firefox profile folder that store your Firefox personal data has been removed.
If you do not have a backup of the files in this folder then your only option is to try to recover this data with an undelete utility like Recuva.
