How can I move my browswer history from my old PC to my new PC?

I have an old XP machine and have just built a brand new windows 7 machine. I need to move my history information over to the new PC. I have found the instructions for moving my bookmarks, but not for moving my browsing history. I rely on my history for finding quite a few of the sites I visit regularly rather than cluttering up my system with more bookmarks and icons.
How do I save my history and get it onto my new machine. I have and external HD and cds I can use for this.

Do you have the same version of Firefox on both systems? You could try a profile transplant.
On your old system, open your active profile folder using:
Help > Troublshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Back up all of the contents of that folder to a convenient location (e.g., USB Flash drive).
On your new system, create a fresh profile using the following (with all Firefox windows closed):
Start > Run/search > firefox.exe /ProfileManager
Create a new profile and accept the defaults, then start Firefox.
Open your newly created profile folder using:
Help > Troublshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Without closing that window, switch back to Firefox and exit. Pause while the new profile folder is updated, then delete all of its contents and copy in the contents from your other machine.
When you restart Firefox, it should pick up all of the transferred information and settings.
Any luck?
If the transfer is a disaster, use the profile manager to switch back to your previous profile.

  • How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?

    Hi there,
    How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?
    Thanks!

    Hi cialbert,
    Do you have the install media? If not, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 - Adobe.  You'll need your Acrobat serial number (see Find your serial number quickly - Adobe).
    Note, as well, that the licensing agreement allows you to activate the software on up to two computers. If you've already activated it on two computers, deactivate on one before installing on the new computer (see Activation & Deactivation Help).
    I think that should take care of it! Please let us know if you need additional help.
    Best,

  • How can I move Adobe Acrobat Pro from my old laptop to my new one?

    A few years ago I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro. I recently purchased a new laptop. As such, I'd like to install Adobe Acrobat Pro on the new machine, however; I don't want to have to purchase it again. Does anyone know how I can move it from my old laptop to my new one?

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.  

  • How can I move my Acrobat software from my old laptop to my new that doesn't have a disk drive?

    Oh, that's the heading - ok...  Well, I think the subject line pretty much says it all
    I bought a Lenovo 2 Yoga.  It does not have a disk drive so I can't load the software onto the new system.  And, I don't want to repurchase Acrobat again.  Is there a way to get my Acrobat from my old laptop to my new?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Thanks Sam.am.  I did do that and it appeared to have worked great.  The only problem now is it wants my Serial number.  I have gone over to Identit-e 2.0 to enter my product code to get the serial number as Adobe has directed - but, it doesn't recognize my code.  This was a Student Teacher version.  I have all the original stuff and the product code.  So, I'm not sure why it won't recognize the product code.  I'll keep digging.
    Thanks for the other suggestions guys.  Can I move my Acrobat X Pro folder from my old laptop to a stick and just do it that way should I not be able to get the serial number?
    Thanks again

  • How can I move the aperture program from my old Mac to my new Macbook Pro?

    I have Aperture 3.2 on my old Mac laptop and would like to know how to move it over to my new macbook pro retina laptop.  I tried to just move it from my external hard drive, but that didn't work. Can I use the migration assistant to transfer this and only this program to my new laptop? 
    Thanks,
    Shirley

    Apple Pro Apps like Aperture really do best if installed from the original media that hey were bought on. Trying to migrate Aperture can lead to a lot of frustrating problems.
    The libraries can be copied over just as you would any file but the application itself needs to be installed.
    How did you purchase Aperture? If you got it in the Mac App Store then all you need to do is log into the MAS from the new computer using the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture and download it.
    If you bought it on DVD you will need to install from those and then run software update to get to the latest version. Remember if you bought it on DVD you will need the original serial number that was included in the package. Also if this was and upgrade from an earlier version (1 or 2)  you will need those serial numbers also.

  • HT4847 How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of iCloud but not delete it?

    How can I move a back up from an old iPhone out of icloud and onto my own storage device? I don't want to delete it, I just don't want to keep it in iCloud

    Unfortunately you do not have direct access to iOS backs in iCloud.
    I am not sure what you mean by:
    It's locked with an enterprise (third party code)
    Do you mean it is a corporate device and managed by Mobile Device Management software?
    If so the IT department can reset the passcode.
    Other than that, there is no third party iOS app that can lock the device at that level unless it is jailbroken and then no one here can help you.

    How can I import not only apps from the old iphone to the new iphone, but also the content of the apps?

    You can sync apps as you normally would, but I do not believe this copies over app specifc data (i.e. saved game status/scores).
    You can always restore your new device with a backup from your old device.
