How do I hide some synced bookmarks on one computer (e.g., home bookmarks on a work computer)?

Firefox Sync is a great feature. I only have one problem. Some bookmarks on my home computer are not suitable for my work computer. How do I exclude or hide a single folder of bookmarks without actually deleting them on all synced computers?

I've read that Xmarks has the option to assign bookmarks to "synchronization profiles". You could then have one profile for "work bookmarks" that is synchronized across many computers or even separate firefox profiles while a profile for "personal bookmarks" may be synchronized with other computers.
The closest thing Firefox synch could support is creating separate firefox surfing profiles and synch accounts for each set of bookmarks you want to synch. You could then select from your profiles using the profile manager (make a shortcut to firefox that launches firefox with the -p or -profilemanager option (both work) "C:\..... firefox.exe -p". It's less convenient, but could work.
Ultimately, I'd love it if firefox would just enable synching bookmarks with certain tags (tag a bookmark work, it gets replicated on all firefox synch accounts with the work tag). People think in folders, but tags would be even better imho.

    How long did you hold these buttons for? Did you try more than once?  Have you tried letting it charge for a bit and trying again?

  • How can you tell if your computer is synced w/ another one outside of your home?

    My husband moved out of the home and I think he has synced my computer with his girlfriend's. He has deleted his profile on my computer. How can I be sure he is not gaining access to info on my computer?

    You might want to have a computer professional or especially nerdy friend look at your PC, because some monitoring software is very hard to detect.
    If you use Firefox Sync, you might want to change your password.

    i habe the ipod touch 5 ios 7. i reset my passcode but i dont remeber what it is. i dont have itunes on my computer and my home button doesnt work. how do i reset my passcode or ipod?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com if your home button isn't working (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0ef36f).

  • How do I transfer my itunes to a new computer if my home sharing isn't working?

    I just bought a new Windows 8 computer but my iTunes isn't transfering to my new computer. I made a home sharing account on my old computer and logged into it on my new computer, but it just says searching for music then won't open anything. How do I get my music over to my new iTunes?
    Thanks!

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • How do I hide some birthdays in Calendar?

    I only need family and important people's birthdays to show up in my calender application. Can I hide or show them based on grouping or is it an all or nothing proposition?

    No, that's not the only solution. You can disable the Birthdays calendar and manually add repeating events for each birthday you want to be reminded of. But I don't suppose you'll like that idea either.

  • How do I hide a pulldown menu if one of it's values has been selected but not others?

    Through searching this forum, I've been able to figure out how to hide pull downs and fields that only have numeric info in them. I.e if the user selects. or if the pulldown value is zero. The item does not show or print on the form.  What I cannot find, is how do you accomplish this if the values in the  pulldowns are text? I.E. the pull down has three choices "choose an item", "ITEM 1", "ITEM 2". It defaults to "choose an item" and if left this way, I want it to be hidden or set to null, but if ITEM 1 or 2 are selected. Then it shows/prints ITEM 1 or ITEM 2 in the spot.
    thank you for your help on this issue.

    I figured it out
    and need to give kudos to George Johnson due to an answer he gave in 2008 pointed me to the solution.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1152008
    First I assigned a calculated value to each of the text items.
    Then here is my script.
    // Get field value
    var v1 = +getField("Description1").value;
    // If the value does not equal 0 then use the value
    if (v1 !== 0) {
        event.value = v1;
    } else {
    //If the value does equal 0 then blank the value
    event.value = "";

  • How do I get a music purchase from one library to a device synched to a different computer?

    I set up an account at work and have an account at home.  I guess I set up to sync at home so when I purchased an album while at work I am unable to get it over to my Iphone without erasing all of the music already on phone.

    That's exactly the way it works.
    Just curious, why do you have two separate accounts?
    If there was only one account but signed into two different computers it would be a simple issue.
    On the home computer, select Store > Check for available downloads.

  • TA38625 how do you fix the device if the sleep/wake and the home button doesn't work and you are stuck at one page?

    i need my phone to start working again normally but i cant seem to find out how to fix it.

    I fail to see how oyu can even use your phone if both buttons are not working.  You would never be able to minimise one app and elect to use another.  I think it is time you got your phone fixed or replaced

    Go to that computer and use the Deauthorize Computer command in iTunes. If that's not possible, use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

  • How to get rid of switch control on an iPod touch that home button isn't working and wifi is off.

    My son has an iPod touch and his home button doesn't work on it. Because the home button didn't work he had the touch button on his screen to navigate through things. Last night he was out, shut his wifi off because there wasn't any wifi to connect too, and was fooling around with his iPod. Somehow he enabled switch control on his iPod, then it shut down and now can't get into it because the touch home button has disappeared, wifi still isn't connected and home button doesn't work.
    We tried rebooting it and wiping it remotely, but because there isn't wifi, we can't connect. Also, it's password protected and we can't get into it from the computer because of the switch control.
    Please help if you can. He's had it for two years and is feeling pretty down today, it took him a long time to save up and buy it.
    Thank you so much.

  • When I SYNC, my bookmarks are still on a work computer, even though I've closed out of Firefox. NO ONE wants their bookmarks to stay around at work.

    So, the reason I decided to try Firefox Sync is that I recently discovered that when I sign out of my Google Account, it turns out that my bookmarks were still all there on Chrome on multiple different work computers (I'm an independent contractor & work at many unrelated locations, so clearly, this was a serious security problem with Chrome & they had no way to help it. None. Whatsoever. And it was happening to other users, probably unknowingly)
    So, I used Firefox Sync today with a work computer & yep, when I clicked the red EXIT FIREFOX button in the settings, & then reopened Firefox to check, there were all my bookmarks. I do not see a LOGOUT option for SYNC. Just a Delete my account or change my password option under Manage Account or a DISCONNECT option under Options. The Disconnect popup says this: "Firefox will stop syncing with your account, but won’t delete any of your browsing data on this computer."
    So, I didn't use the DISCONNECT or DELETE MY ACCOUNT options because when I tried the disconnect option on Chrome, it deleted most, but not all of the bookmarks on ALL of my devices & I would've lost all hundreds of my bookmarks had I not made a copy of them from my non-logged-in tablet.
    NO ONE wants their bookmarks available to anyone else who opens the browser on the same computer just because they synced once w/ their Firefox account or logged into their Google account.
    If there is NO way to log out & remove the USER-SPECIFIC--NOT device- or browser-specific-- bookmarks & other potentially problematic info, then this should be made CLEAR in an informative article if someone chooses to SYNC.
    No one would ever SYNC if they ever used a computer that is not their own if they knew that their bookmark info were left on the browser.
    Is there a SYNC logout option that I missed that makes this question irrelevant? I hope so. Otherwise, I guess I'll be emailing a bookmarks file to myself for temporary work use & then deleting it.
    If I sign in to Yahoo! or Facebook or any shopping site, etc, when I logout & clear the cache & cookies, etc, like I always do, my info is gone. It doesn't show up the next time someone opens the browser.
    I even changed the settings in SYNC to NOT synce the bookmarks, but they were still there when I reopened Firefox.
    thanks.
    Christine

    Actually, it's not obvious & common sense would dictate that users' bookmarks would not be left stuck to random computers even once they've logged out of the account. No one wants that if it's a public work computer or if they're traveling & use an Internet cafe. As I am not the only one who has noticed this issue or had bookmarks disappear/be deleted, in addition, common sense would indicate it's not really a very good system. And carrying around a flashdrive to run Firefox off of it is a good solution? Really? Just curious why a useful feature such as being able to login & use your preferences & bookmarks & then logging out removes your preferences when you're gone hasn't been developed. Yahoo keeps my preferences when I logout (it's called My Yahoo!). Maybe a My Firefox or My Chrome solution could be developed.

  • How to stop changes being synced from ipad mobile back to lightroom?

    Until now, noone in my family has been able to look at any of my hundreds of thousands of photos as they are all locked up in lightroom except the small subset I upload to facebook or similar.
    Now with lightroom mobile, they can see all my hundreds of collections.
    And change them.
    Seriously, how do I stop my 3 year old and wife from destroying my man hours of editing?
    How do I make the sync to ipad one way, or make them read only on the ipad?
    Without this, sadly, light room mobile is useless.
    Any solutions appreciated.

    I am so sad I could cry.  Luckily I only installed the trial version of 5.5 so I can go back to my lightroom 4, and none will be able to see my millions of family photos again.
    I will remove lightroom mobile immediately from my wifes 64GB ipad (i don't have or want one), as my 3 year old uses it every day, which would mean ll my photos getting destroyed in minutes.
    In so many years, it is astounding that I dont have a way for people to be able to see my 1 TB of photos locked up in lightroom, unless I tediously export them to disk, and then copy them over by hand to external devices each time I produce new photos, which is too much work.
    This is such a huge missed opportunity for adobe to provide a product which lets friends and family view their hard work at home.
    Personally, I would never edit photos on an ipad, I have 2 calibrated 30" IPS monitors, a workstation with 32GB ram and twin SSDs for lightroom work (I do weddings also).  But I do want for family to be able to look at them and use them, without having to give them my workstation.
