How do i get my bookmarks off of an old harddrive and transfer them to another harddrive?

the mother board died on my old desktop - but, the hard drive is still operable. I got a new desktop and a friend added the old hard drive from my old computer (that has all of my firefox bookmarks somewhere) to my new computer. I now have two hard drives on a computer - the one that came with the new computer - and my old one - so, i am now able to move all my pictures and files, etc - and even found the Internet Explorer bookmarks - but, i cannot seem to find the firefox bookmarks. I look under Program Files - and I see Mozilla Firefox there - but, do not see the bookmarks. I searched for it - tried the answers that the mozilla website says to do - but, I cannot find them. can anyone help?? thanks

Bookmarks aren't stored in the Program Files folder but rather in their own "hidden" Profile Folder.
This link will show you where Firefox holds all of your information and what files to transfer over
*https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
To get to your Profile Folder, while in Firefox, click the new menu button on the far right side of the Navigational Toolbar, click Help then click Troubleshooting Information. Under the Applications Basic section, click Show Folder. The window that opens will be your Profile folder.
Seeing as you want your Bookmarks, you should grab <b>places.sqlite</b> then put them into the Profile Folder in your new hard drive with Firefox closed

  • How do I get my contacts off of my old BB and onto my new iPhone?

    Alright I have a new iPhone finally.
    I have an old BB curve that has all my contacts.
    These contacts are not saved to the sim card.
    I was told you can do something with outlook or something else that will take all of my contacts names, numbers emails etc out of my BB and allow me to then upload them into my iPhone?
    Can someone walk me through the process of this exactly?
    Thanks.

    You need to install the BB Desktop Software or Manager, which should be included with a CD provided with your BB purchase.
    1. Connect your BlackBerry device to your computer.
    2. Open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
    3. Double-click Synchronize.
    4. On the Configuration tab, click Configure synch.
    5. Select the Address Book check box.
    6. Click Configure > Advanced Settings.
    7. Select Outlook as the sync partner.
    With Windows XP, the iPhone supports syncing contact info and calendar events with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or the address book used by Outlook Express for contact info, which I believe is called Windows Contacts.
    You select a compatible contact management application under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

    how can i get the info off of an old appleworks database. to my new mountain lion. OS X? My old data base is on AppleWorks 6

    1.  Read Roger Wilmut's excellent series of articles Abandoning Appleworks, especially the one on databases.
    2.  Call the Apple Store and order Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping: 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).
    3.  Install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8, now available for a short time (4 more days) in the March 2013 MacUpdate 10 App Bundle for $49.99:
    4. Install Appleworks 6.2.9 into Snow Leopard Server and it will now run concurrently with Mt. Lion:

  • Trying to get my music off of my old PC and on to my new mac

    i have an old PC laptop running windows XP, it also has an oder version of ITunes. I have an old IPod, everything is touch sensitive and the buttons light up red (i think it's second gen). i just recently purchased a mac mini and i need to get my music off of the old PC and on to the new macif anyone knows how to do this i would much appreciate your help.
    P.S. I'm still learning about my mac so go easy on me

    I believe your iPod is 3rd Gen (with the 4 buttons on the top?)
    Long story short, an iPod formatted on a PC can be read by a Mac computer, you can download a 3rd party software e.g. Senuti (Google search please) and install it on your Mac Mini, use this software to transfer the songs from your iPod to the iTunes of your Mac

  • I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

    I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • My computer crashed with all my itunes files.  I was able to get some off and transfer them to another computer.  I am afraid to sync my ipod to the new computer becaused I do not want to loose all of my playlists and other music.  Will this happen?

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • How can i take the pictures from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything

    How can I take the pics from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything?

    Pictures on an iPod are stored in a special format, optimized for the iPod's small lower resolution screen, to save storage space.  iTunes puts them into that format when syncing.  There is setting in iTunes, on the iPod's Photos screen (where you set up syncing of photos) for Include full resolution photos.  If that checkbox was checked when you synced the photos to the iPod, THEN you can Enable disk use and find those photo files on the iPod in the Photos folder. 
    Otherwise, you cannot get your photos back, using iTunes.  There may be third-party utilities that can extract individual photos from the iPod, but they will still be lower-resolution versions of the original photo.

  • How do I get my bookmarks off a damaged hard drive.

    My laptop hard drive will not boot but I can access all my files with an external drive. Where do I find all my bookmarks so that I can copy and save them before I restore and or reformat that hard drive?
    I don't want to lose them because I have too many important bookmarks.
    Thanks!

    Type move itunes library into the google serach bar.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain  abackup copy of your computer.  Do you not have a backup copy?

  • How do I get my pictures off of an old ipod to a new one

    How do I get pictures off of a ipod touch and put them on anther ipod

    What pics?
    Pics taken with ipod should be imported to your computer regularly as with any other digital camera.
    Copying personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Pics synced to the ipod are synced one way only - computer to ipod.  They should still be on your computer and in your backup copy of your computer.

  • How do I retrieve my backed up iphone contacts from itunes and transfer them to a blackberry?

    Help, I am struggling! I have had to change work phones from iPhone to Blackbery. How do I retrieve my backed up iphone contacts from my itunes player and transfer them to a blackberry? Is this even possible? I no longer have my old iPhone, but thought that I could just transfer them all over to a bb if I had backed up before I gave the iPhone back.

    iTunes does not and has never contained contacts.  It is not a contact management application.
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Ask BlackBerry how to get the contacts from whatever application or cloud service your contacts have been synced with to your new phone.

  • HT4914 I have many songs on my phone and my hardrive crashed that my phone was synced to.  How can I get my songs off of my Iphone 4s and get them to my Iphone 5?

    I had my hard drive crash on the computer that my Iphone 4s was backed up to.  I bought a new Iphone 5 and computer and I want the songs on my Iphone 4s on my iphone 5.  My library is empty but my old phone still has all my songs.  How can I get them?  Would iMatch return all of my songs?

    Hey susanneyes,
    Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
    Hopefully this helps!

    Hi Rose,
    You just have to run one of the CC applications on your old iMac and do a "sign out" (on windows this is in the e.g. Photoshop "Help" menu, can't remember for Mac)...which warns you that you can't use CC apps on that computer anymore.
    Then install CC on your new iMac and log in to it. You will then have to use the CC app to install photoshop etc on your new iMac.
