How do I import recently-discovered, old saved bookmarks from a disk, without overwriting my current bookmarks?

Almost a year ago my hard drive crashed and I lost everything, including bookmarks. I recently discovered a disk with saved bookmarks. How do I import these bookmarks (or at least look at them!) without overriding my current bookmarks?

If those bookmarks are in HTML format, you can '''import''' them into Firefox. '''Import''' appends existing bookmarks.
If you have an old '''places.sqlite''' file or a '''json''' backup file, you should '''Export HTML...''' your current bookmarks before proceeding. <br />
Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks ''(labeled '''Library''')'' > Import & Backup <br />
Then '''restore''' a '''json''' backup file through the Library, which will replace your current bookmarks with the old ones. <br/>
Or, replace your current '''places.sqlite''' file with the old file - located in your Profile folder. <br />

<br /> Then your need to '''import''' your current bookmarks, which will append them to the the old bookmarks that you restored.

  • How do I import all folders and saved messages from another email address?

    I'm using Mac OS X. Only my inbox messages have imported. I'm trying to import from my GoDaddy email account.

    ''re : Only my inbox messages have imported.''
    This sounds like you have created a POP mail account.
    Pop mail accounts can only get access and download from server Inbox to Thunderbrd mail account Inbox. This is not a Thunderbird quirk; it is how all POP mail accounts work.
    There is a workaround.
    In Thunderbird
    * Move all good emails from Inbox to other suitable folders.
    * Delete any emails you do not want.
    * Right click on Inbox and select : 'Compact'
    Now you have an empty Inbox which will make it easier to identify emails downloaded from different folders.
    * Log on to webmail account using a browser.
    * Move all emails from one of your folders into Inbox.
    * In Thunderbird select to 'Get Messages'
    * Thunderbird will download any emails not previously downloaded to the Inbox.
    * Create a suitable folder and move all those emails into it.
    Repeat this action to move emails in other folders into webmail Inbox and then download them.
    This will get emails from server folders into Thunderbird.
    From then onwards any new mail coming into server Inbox will get downloaded to Thunderbird mail account Inbox, so this workaround would only need to be done once.
    '''Note:'''
    Pop mail accounts usually download and delete off server, so if you do not want this to occur, check this first:
    Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
    OR
    right click on mail account in Flder Pane and select 'Settings'
    then 'Server Settings' for mail account.
    * Select 'Leave messages on server'
    If you want to auto delete some emails, you can select either ot both of these options:
    * For at most xx days
    * Until I delete them
    * Click on 'OK'
    If a POP mail account does not do what you want, you would need to see if your webmail account allows 'IMAP forwarding' and select that option.
    Then create a new IMAP mail account in Thunderbird.
    This would allow you to subscribe to see any folders on the server.
    IMAP accounts mean that you get a remote view of the server folders, so anything you do in Thunderbird will also occur on the server. eg: if you delete an email in Thunderbird it will delete off server as you are seeing one in the same folders.
    In both cases it is always advisable to periodically create a backup:
    Profile Folder location:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
    Backup info:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
    Imap backup:

  • I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?

    I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?

    A couple of methods.
    The first is to copy 2 files, key3,db and signons.sqlite from the profile folder of the old computer t the profile folder of the new computer. For details of how to find the profile folder see the [[profiles]] article.
    The second method is to install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/ Password Exporter] add-on on both computers and use that to export/import the passwords.

  • How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S as I have created other apple IDs.The old one is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as this email address is staying my icloud setting.

    Q:-
    How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

  • How do I import a video to QT PRO from my device!?

    How do I import a video to QT PRO from my device? All I see under "file" is "new audio recording" there is no option for "new video recording". this is driving me crazy. i just want to edit my video from my miniDV player. Any help would be great thanks for your time.
    Paul

    Robert, welcome to these discussions.
    Most modern digital video cameras ship with their own capture software.
    You'll still find QuickTime Pro a very useful conversion tool to resize, edit and transport your final product.
    The "One Click" recording feature of video (Mac only) to QuickTime movie format is in response to the ease of video capture from these devices. Most of these files need some further editing anyway.
    Now that you own QT Pro you can export your camera files to DV Stream formats (preserving the original quality) and edit them in your favorite Windows software.
    I doubt that many Mac users use QuickTime Pro just to export their videos directly to the .mov file format.
    QuickTime Pro is a new tool that will now help you convert your captures to Web friendly formats you can share with friends and family.

  • I was syncing everything to itunes and I tried to do my contacts, not knowing quite how. I ended up erasing all of them from my phone without any of them syncing to my computer or itunes. Is there any way I can get them back? I really need them all.

    I was syncing everything to itunes and I tried to do my contacts, not knowing quite how. I ended up erasing all of them from my phone without any of them syncing to my computer or itunes. Is there any way I can get them back? I really need them all.

    There are lots of ideas floating on the web for this particular issue - all of which I tried. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my USB cable. I thought the cable was fine as it would charge my phone and play but the data transfer pin was bent. I replaced the cable and it fixed the problem. Worth a shot as it is an easy fix!

  • How do I import favorites onto a restored system from a backup that I made on an external hard drive before I had exported the favorites?

    I have downloaded Firefox to my laptop, which crashed, and could not be restored by my backup software. All files reside on an external hard drive, including Firefox. I had not exported my favorites prior to the crash. How do I import those favorites from the external hard drive?

    Favorites or '''bookmarks'''? Firefox can't handle the "favorites" data, you need to restore that data to IE, and then export it in bookmarks.html format which is what Firefox can import.

  • How can i add bookmarks from my old hard drive to new hard drive on the same computer without overwriting the new bookmarks on my new hardrive? Cheers

    The old hard drive was operating on Xp and new hard drive is Windows 7, if this makes any difference.

    Unfortunately there is no simple method and, the workaround is far from perfect. The .json files Firefox uses overwite the existing bookmarks but the .html option appends and does not overwrite.
    First of all backup all bookmarks on each hard drive. The best method of doing that is to backup the Firefox profiles, that captures the bookmarks databases (''places.sqlite'') and the autobackups that Firefox holds.
    * [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    #First ensure you have the largest databsae on the current install of Firefox. If necessary
    ##Locate the Firefox Profile on the old drive
    ##* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    ##Open Firefox and find the profile that is currently in use.
    ##*Quick method <br/>Use FirefoxButton -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information [Open Folder] <br />(No certain of exact wordings, OR navigate to ''about:support'' )
    ##* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    #Now use HTML backups to transfer from the smaller database the basic bookmarks.
    ## Close Firefox & if the old database is the largest one use the Operating System copy option to overwrite the existing places.sqlite so that Firefox now uses the old database
    ## Reopen Firefox but this time open using the old profile. The easiest method of that may be to disable the new drive from the Bios or alternatively use Firefox profile manager and register the old profile location and open firefox with that profile
    ##* [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
    ## Export the bookmarks from the old profile using the Firefox Library and the HTML option.
    ##* see [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    ## Close Firefox, reopen new version/newprofile and import the HTML.
    You now have the largest database of complete bookmarks with tags etc. , plus additional bookmarks from the smaller database added on. Obviously you may have some duplication

  • How can I import to my iMac's Aperture from my MacBook Air?

    Hello!
         I started working with relativily small librarie in my MacBook air, it has a size of 12GB more or less.
         My question is: how can I import/merge this library to my iMac library.
    Thanks.
    Federico

    Whatever you can.  Dropbox.  Ethernet.  Firewire.  Thumb-drive.  I'm pretty sure you can set up an ad-hoc wireless network between the two machines.

  • How can I import eex files into Applications EUL from the unix command line

    How can I import *.eex and *.dis files into an Applications EUL from the unix command line?
    Thanks

    Hi
    The simple answer is you either have to use the client tool DIS51ADM to import files using the command line (Discoverer Admin is a windows only client tool), or the Java command line which needs a browser.
    In theory if you have a browser running on your Unix box you may be able to use the Java command line to make this work.
    Best wishes
