Moved to a new computer running windows 7. what happened to the bookmark sidebar? how do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?

new computer, loaded Firefox 4. What happened to bookmark sidebar? How do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?
old computer is offline, so if I have to make a copy of something hopefully it can be done offline.
Don't really understand why windows 7 renders Firefox so different that XP. Will change, but really like the old feel.

How do i transfer my itunes from old computer to new computer?

Got myself a new PC (windows) and don't know how to transfer my itunes over from my old computer to my new computer - any ideas?

Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the default location on the new computer. On a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

HT4527 When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, even though all of songs were copied over, not all of them went to iTunes, some appear to be stored elsewhere. How can I find these songs, and how do I transfer them to iTunes?

When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, all my songs were copied over, but not all of them were stored in iTunes. It appears they are on the computer somewhere, but not on iTunes. Where are these other songs likely to be, and how can I get them onto iTunes? Because of this problem, Apple will not allow me to update my iPhone.

You may/must have had music files stored outside of your iTunes library.
I'd recommend going to the Finder and then via the search box look for files with mp3 aif m4a aac etc. depending on the music format your digital music had. With the list of files shown you should be able to learn which files were stored outside of your music > itunes folder
Chances are they could be burried somewhere under your documents, downloads, desktop, ... we all have different storage and organization habits.
Then when you find the missing files, on the new computer you can do add to library and go to the folder on the other computer where the missing files are - if your systems are networked - or sneak them over using a USB thumb drive or portable hard drive if you have lots of files, or if you like to have an extra backup of that music, copy to optical disc.

How to copy all the data from old computer to new computer (server)

Dear all,
As I want to upgrade the server from old computer to a new one.
I want to ask how and easy way to copy all of table, sequence, ......data from existing old computer to new computer.
The old server is window 2000 Server with oracle 10g
The new server may window 2003 Server with oracle 10g
Thanks a lot
Francis SZE

As far as I can see you are copying from db10g for windows to another host on the same platform and same OS, so a simple cold backup taken from the source database can be restored at the target host. You must first make sure the configuration files and service be created prior to performing the database startup procedure at the target host. You may also as suggested, perform an rman duplication task

Help needed in how to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer

Hello!
I'm really struggling in how to work a way to transfer the music from my iTunes on my old computer to my new computer without wiping all of the music from my iPod... does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers muchly,
Sarahjk

There are a few things you could do, from networking the two computers, using an external hard drive or even using your iPod to make the move. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows
To use your iPod on two computers without accidentally erasing it, change it to manual update on your old computer before connecting it to the new one. Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have loaded iTunes on your new computer and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Another way to load iTunes on your new PC is to copy the songs directly from the iPod. There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

How Do I Move My Data From Old MacBook to New MacBook Pro?

Hey everyone
So I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" to replace my old black Macbook. My old Mac runs Tiger and is an Intel Core 2 Duo. I was wondering, how do I move my files over to the new Macbook? Do I use a FireWire? If so, does the data from my old Macbook get deleted or is it still on the old computer?
I've never done something like this before so if anybody can help me on the file transfer methods, that would be great! Basically I'm hoping that all my music, photos, my iPhone data, etc.. all get successfully put on my new Macbook!
Thanks!

Hi and congrats on your new Mac.
Use the Migration Assistant (Applications/Utilities)
If both computers are using Mac OS X, you can connect the two computers with a FireWire cable and use Migration Assistant, located in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder. Migration Assistant transfers your files and important settings to your new computer.
Just launch the Migration Assistant application and follow the instructions.

Getting new computer - how get itunes from old computer to new one?

Hello: I am in the process of getting a new desktop computer. Currently in itunes I have about 100 songs (I just got the ipod the other day). My current computer only has USB 1.1 so I am excited to be able to use USB 2.0 with the new machine. So, how do I get all of my songs on itunes from my current computer to the new one? Sorry if this is a stupid question, however I am very new to ipods. Thanks

For me, using a computer network is the easiest, and fastest.
Next would be using DVDs
then CDs
then the iPod.
Sounds like you have never burned a CD/DVD or backed up any of your music. You do know you only get the one-time download per track from the iTMS, don't you?
