How can I transfer Firefox profile from One user to another on my pc (win XP)

At work I'm using Firefox as my default browser.
In my company the IT administrator installed new system s/w on companys main server and changed the user names.
So now firefox lost all the information (profile) I already had on my pc.
Now in "C:\Documents and Settings\" folder I have 2 users.
One with the old user name and one with the new user name
Also I can not any longer login in my pc with the old user name because the administrator has changed also the domain name.
How can I transfer the profile I had (with lot's of usefull bookmarks etc) from the old user-name to the new user-name?
Thank you in advance!
Yannis

  • How can I transfer Firefox bookmarks from one Mactintosh to another?

    Had to reload foxfire onto Mactintosh and need to import the bookmarks on FireFox on my other MActintosh.

    Found the easiest way was to to use the Firefox Export function to create a Bookamrks.html by going to Firefox bookmarks and select Show All Bookmarks and select Export Bookmarks from the Library window. Then use a Flashdrive and take to the other computer and drop it on the Target computer Desktop there. Go to Firefox bookmarks and select Show All Bookmarks on target computer and select Import Bookmarks html from the Library window. Your bookmarks are now on the target computer

    Lisa,
    Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library.  With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.

    How to I transfer appoointments, apps from one Ipohe to another?

    If you plug in your ipod and/or iphone to your new machine, they should show up in the left column in itunes.
    You can ctrl-click on the device there and choose "transfer purchases".  It should then copy the apps and other purchases from your device onto the new machine.

  • How can I transfer apps purchased from one AppleId to another due to breach of account?

    Due to a recent security breach not if my doing a user stole my apple id and needed to change appleid account.  Now as a result i've lost all purchased apps from the itune store. I would like to transfer apps from one apple id to another without incurring additional costs.  With sufficient information in direct contact with the store I should be able to transferable within the software or at very least with the itune store direct.  Perhaps this is a way of charging additional costs for same programs?
    Not a happy camper because of the theft in id but now to add insult to injury i'll have to repurchase the apps to properly sync with my devices.
    Any help would be appreciated

    You can't transfer iTunes content from one account to another. If someone had obtained access to your account credentials and you've had the account locked that should not affect the current authorizations on your computer, though it will prevent you from updating apps until you have resolved the issue. Rather than creating a new AppleID what you should do is regain control of your original Apple ID and have it reenabled with a new password, get, if possible, Apple to deauthorize all computers for your account (assuming you don't have 5 so can't do it yourself) then authorize your computers.

  • How can I transfer my contacts from one group to another?

    I have recently discovered that most of my personal contacts have been synced with my work's MS Outlook. This brings two issues to me if I ever had to change jobs and hand over my laptop - 1) My personal contacts will be shared with an unauthorised audience, 2) If they delete my account I will never have access to my own personal contacts as well.
    I tried to see how I can transfer contacts from one group to another but I can't seem to get the hang of it. Can anyone help, please? All I need to do is associate the contacts that have been associated with my work's email account to one of my personal accounts.
    Thank you in advance!

    If you use an online syncing service for managing your contacts then you can simply clean up the contancts on one installation, and the changes should update on the second installation immediately. This will only work if you use iCloud, Gmail, or another service for storing your contacts.

  • How can I transfer an iPhone from one computer to another?

    Hi all!
    So, I got my boyfriend an iPhone 4 last year and his computer was so outdated that he could not sync it with his computer.  We recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (no Lion for us yet) for both his and my computer and now he can sync his phone with his own computer.  Before, he could not back up his contacts in his address book, or his calendar, etc.  So anyway, when I plug in his phone to the computer, it recognizes it, but will not allow me to create a backup in his iTunes.  It will also not let me "assign" the phone to the computer.  Any suggestions?  Also, even if I do a complete restore, how can I add the stuff backed up to his iCloud once it's restored?  Any help would be great.  Thanks!

    Unless you moved the Domain file, that's its default location. Make sure you're looking in the Library folder in your Home folder rather than Macintosh HD. See also THIS recent post.

  • How can I move my bookmarks from one user to another user?

    I recently created a new user and would like to move the favorites in a particular folder to the new user without having to individually copy and past them. What is the easiest way to do this?

    You can restore a JSON backup from the not working profile in the current Firefox profile.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"<br />
    You may want to uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

  • How can I transfer my contacts from one iphone to another without iCloud?

    I have an iPhone 4S that has quit working properly. The wifi option is grayed out and it will not let me get online. It also has some other weird things going on. I've tried everythign to fix it, to no avail. Therefore rather than paying $200 for a (refurbished) replacement, I'm going back to my old 4.
    I was told by the AT&T guy not to restore to my new phone because there is a chance that this is software related and it will cause similar problems on my 4. How, then, do I transfer my contacts to my old 4? I can't do it via iCloud because I never set it up on my old phone and it is now inactivated (and can't use wifi).

    Your contacts should be on your computer.
    You should have been syncing them with your computer from day one.
    have you failed to do this?

  • How can I transfer RSS feeds from one PC to another?

    I have an old laptop using WinXP with Firefox installed and a significant number of RSS feed tabs.
    I have a new laptop using Win7 Home Premium 64-bit with Firefox installed. I now want to copy the collection of RSS feeds on my old laptop to my new laptop.
    Thank you!

    You can backup the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file in the new laptop.<br />
    You will have to remove the unwanted bookmarks and only keep or copy/move the RSS feed bookmarks to the folder where you want them.
