How can I upload my offline bookmarks to sync server for syncing them?

Firefox is the only browser I use and I have tons of bookmarks. I use Firefox Sync to sync my bookmarks primarily over 4 devices (2 Desktop PC, 1 Notebook and 1 Tablet). With the previous Sync model of Firefox I had to request for a quota increase mentioning that I will be needing only the Bookmarks to be synced, nothing else. My quota was increased, Firefox introduced the new Sync model, it was really great and easier, everything was fine.
Recently I've lost a huge number of bookmarks from Sync. Only one desktop PC still has all the bookmarks, but on the other 3 devices a certain number of bookmarks is absent at the end of the alphabetically sorted list. I uninstalled Firefox and deleted everything Firefox-related from one of these 3 devices, performed a fresh new installation and synced again. But no result, those bookmarks are still missing. I've added new bookmarks from the PC that still has all the bookmarks and they were synced properly over the other 3 devices. I think somehow those specific bookmarks (which are missing on the other 3 devices) got disconnected/unlinked from the Firefox Sync Server.
Now, since I have the missing bookmarks on one PC, is there any way to upload these unlinked bookmarks to Firefox Sync Server so they can be re-linked and synced over the other devices? If yes, how can I do that? If no, what else are my options to get my bookmarks back & synced?

You cannot add anything to Sync that is outside of Firefox. The service will only connect thru a Firefox installation.
As far as trying to solve that problem with the "lost" bookmarks on 3 devices ...
1. Disconnect all 4 devices from Sync.
2. Then on the PC that still has all your bookmarks, install this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/ - to rebuild the Places database on that device. ''I suspect that is where your problem started.''
3. When the "maintenance" is done, reconnect that device to Sync and let it run for like maybe 24 hours to re-populate the Sync server with "fixed" data.
4. Then you can start reconnecting the other 3 devices to Sync one at a time ''(do the Tablet last)'', allowing some time for each device to "digest" whatever changes are made when re-connecting to Sync.
''Don't rush Sync at any stage - depending upon how many bookmarks and how much history you have - maybe add one device per day and leave Firefox running for a long time not doing anything else. From what I have observed with Sync when fixing something like this it works in "spurts" of data transfers especially when the Sync servers are very busy.''

  • How can I upload my dvd movies to my ipad for an upcoming vacation

    How do I upload my dvd movies to my IPad 2?

    This would have to be one of the bug bears of iTunes: you can put a music CD in your Mac's optical drive and iTunes asks if you want to import it, but will not do the same for a movie you already own and want to watch on your Mac using iTunes!
    I haven't bought a DVD for years, and happily buy movies, or rather, when at home rent them from the iTunes Store.
    The only way to get movies onto your iPad is to buy movies from iTunes and sync the iPad (make sure you have ticked the sync movies option in the iTunes device settings AND tick only the movies you want in the movies list) or buy movies via the iTunes app on your iPad, or do stuff that is illegal.

  • How can I upload my iPhoto photos to facebook, and not have them automatically publish?

    I know how to share my iPhoto photos to Facebook, but it used to be that when I logged on to Facebook, I had to approve the photos being published, and had the opportunity to edit the album and then publish it. How I do this again, and not have it automatically publish?

  • How can i upload more than one single file into a folder in the creative cloud?

    how can i upload e.g. 10 files out of a folder on my desktop in one step into a folder in my creative cloud?

    You can select multiple files in the Windows Explorer dialog using the Ctrl key, or in Mac OS X Finder using the Cmd key. Once you have multiple files selected just click the upload button. Or use drag and drop from the desktop to the browser.
    If you are using Internet Explorer it does not support multiple file upload. This is per design by Microsoft.

  • If I have more than one library, how can I upload all photos to iCloud??

    I have a couple of different iPhoto libraries. Now that I've upgraded to photos, I am using iCloud and it is currently uploading all the photos & videos from the library Initally opened. How can I upload the other libraries into iCloud?  Will they automatically upload once I use the option key and open the different library?? 
    Also, does Photos need to be running for things to upload to iCloud?
    Thanks!
    Kristin

    See the quote below from Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support
    iCloud and the System Photo Library
    You can use iCloud Photo Library, iCloud Photo Sharing, and My Photo Stream only with the System Photo Library. If you choose a different library in Photos without designating it as the System Photo Library, the iCloud tab in Photos preferences is disabled:
    If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photo Library, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photo Library. If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photo Library for more than one library in Photos.

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

    The app called "Air Sharing" allows you to do that. Connect to a wifi network, run the program and you can mount your iphone as a drive using Finder. Upload all the PDFs you like, and you can open them from within the Air Sharing app. Also, you can view most image files, most office files, etc.

  • How can I upload my photos from my iPad to a memory stick I have an adapter that takes memory cards to download to iPad that has a USB socket but can't find anywhere on iPad to instruct it to do this?

    How can I upload my photos to a memory stick from my iPad

    You can't do it directly from your iPad, the camera connection kit only copies photos/videos to the iPad's Photos app, it can't be used to copy them off.
    You can copy photos to a computer and from there to the memory stick : Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC.

  • HT204264 How can I upload older photos without metadata into Photos?

    I have older photos that I would like to upload to my Photo's iCloud library but it will pop up with a message saying there is no metadata. How can I upload my older photos?

    I worked in IT on the university level for four years so it's really frustrating to see more safeguards in place in a public school district any university. If we're trying to teach these kids to be ready for real life and then block out and don't let them use half the technology they're going to encounter in real life, well I just don't get that. But that's another rant for another time.
    How I do it is I save all of the photos my students scan onto my external hard drive, then transfer them to my personal computer and upload them to dropbox using Dropbox for windows (or whatever the desktop application is called) . I then have my students go to dropbox.com on the iPad, login as me, and go through each photo, saving each to the iPad as they go.
    I should have said upfront that when I try to connect the iPad to my personal computer it charges the iPad but won't recognize under my computer or show up in iTunes, so I am unable to see any of the data on it. I'm pretty sure it's not the 30 pin connector that's malfunctioning because I've tried with two of them. I can only check if it registers with iTunes on my personal computer because I can't download iTunes on school computers since I don't have administrator privileges

  • How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

    How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles (would like to move whole bookmark folders at once if possible) into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles? This is all under one window user account, I am using windows 8.1. Even if you have information on how to do it on a different windows, it may still be helpful. Thanks for any input you have.

    Just a note about the difference between these two things:
    * "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
    * "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.
    Related support articles:
    * [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    * [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile. See: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites].

  • How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?

    hello,
    How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?
    thanks,
    Jay

    Hi,
    I understand that it applied first logo to all other sub sites.
    Please make sure that you change the logos in the subsites.
    If we change the logo in the root site, the logos in the subsites will be changed at the same time.
    However, we can change the logo in the subsites separately.
    We can go to a subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo->select a picture, then it will has a different logo than the root site.
    Then go to the other subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo-> select another picture, then it will has a different logo that the first subsite.
    Best Regards,
