How do I restore bookmarks from an Acronis backup to a new disk?

I am building a new computer and having trouble with Firefox.
I am using a SSD C:\ drive and trying to put my programs on D:\ in order to save space on the SSD drive.
I made a backup using Acronis True Image Home of my entire C:\ drive.
I can't seem to get the bookmarks to restore from the backup. I have put it in the same folder but Firefox won't recognize it. I've tried renaming it to the same name as the folder created by Firefox and renaming the default but that doesn't work.
I had Firefox create a brand new profile and when I look in he folder I see a folder named startupCache and a couple of others.
In my old bookmarks folder I see six Cache files and a urlclassifier3.sqlite.
How can I get the old bookmarks into my new Firefox profile?

Yes, if I right click on a profile in the profile manager when I start Firefox it shows me the path to the profile. It is in the AppData\Roaming section.
For the sake of brevity I haven't typed in the full path name, just enough to let you know where I am putting them, I hope.
I put it there. No good.
I just looked at the profile I restored to the AppData\Local section ( it seems Firefox puts a copy there too ) and merged the one that showed the Cache folders which came from my backup disk with the profile of the same name in the Roaming section.
Still no go. No bookmarks showing up. If I click on the profile folder it shows the Cache files etc. are all there but it doesn't do anything.
This has gotten very aggravating. All files seem to be where they should be but it doesn't work.

  • How do I move bookmarks from an old profile to a new profile?

    I have created a new profile for Firefox and have a huge amount of bookmarks in my old profile. How can I move the bookmarks from my old profile to the new one? I have tried backing up my old bookmarks and then restoring them on the new profile's bookmark library, but this didn't work (the file wouldn't show up and when I put it in a folder to force it to show up it wouldn't do anything). So how can I do this?

  • 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 restore ringtones from my old phone to my new phone?

    How can I restore my ringtones from my old phone to my new phone? I know I've done it before, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks!
    Lynn

    If you purchased them from Verizon, you MAY be able to recover them by logging in to your account and checking under MyMedia to see if it's available. You may need to repurchase, since in most cases, ring tones are purchased for the specific device and do not transfer to a new device.
    You can also use a service like Phonezoo to get ringtones; it keeps track of all your downloaded ringtones and wallpapers and you can get them again for a new device - and it's all free.

  • How can I copy bookmarks from my old computer to my new computer, both with Windows XP Pro?

    Transferring bookmarks from old computer to new computer, both with Windows XP Pro?
    Thanks for your h4elp.
    Also, can I create a file of bookmarks in MS Word or Open Office so that I can save them?

    You can export your bookmarks to an HTML file on your old computer, and them import that file on your new computer. The HTML file also is your backup, and if you open it into Word, you could save it as a DOC file if you prefer.
    For more information, check out these articles:

    Note that if you are using the orange Firefox button (abbreviated menus), you can access the class menu bar with the full Bookmarks menu by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10.

  • How can i restore info from my hard drive to my new mac

    I have an "old" black macbook, that I have backed up on an external hard drive using time machine.  I recently got a new (aluminum) macbook and i want to transfer my data from my hard drive to my new computer (itunes library, photos, etc...).  I do NOT have ilife or iwork on my new computer, but i have it on my old macbook which (in theory) should be backed up on my external HD.  Is it possible to transfer applications like that to my new computer if I "disable" it from my old computer?  I also just got a new iphone 5 and would like to be able to sync it to my new computer but my itunes library is empty (until i take stuff from my hard drive and put it on my new computer).  Obviously my old macbook will not support the software needed to hook up my new iphone to itunes, but my new computer will.  So I beg the answer to my question...how do i get my stuff from one computer to the new one and can i transfer applications such at iphoto, pages, (ilife, iwork)...legally by disabling from my old computer?????
    PLEASE HELP!

  • How can I restore data from my iCloud account on a new iPhone 5c with a previous SW version that my old (stolen) iPhone 5?

    Hello everybody,
    I need help to restore data from my iCloud account on an unused iPhone 5c because my iPhone 5 with a newer iOS update was stolen. When I try I get a message that I cannot retore my data because the iOS on my iPhone 5c is an older version than on the stolen iPhone 5.
    There must be a way to do this. I hope to hear from you
    thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
    After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

  • I lost my contacts - how to I restore them from my computer backup?

    I need to restore my contacts on my wife's iPhone. They mysteriously disappeared and I want to restore from her computer iTunes /backup - but when I plug the iPhone in - it begins to "backup". I'm afraid if I allow the "backup" to proceed it will wipe out the computer back-up and replace with her "empty" iPhone contacts.
    Can I simply "restore" the lost contacts from the computer?

    If you have them synced to a supported application on the computer. If the phone begins a backup as soon as you connect it, then you want to go into Settings in iTunes and turn off automatic syncing. From there, you can choose to either sync the contacts if you have them in Address Book, or Contacts, or Outlook, or restore them from iCloud, or if you have a backup of the phone, you can restore the phone to the last backup that had the contacts on it.

  • How do I restore iBooks from time machine backup?

    through the Genius Bar I had to erase my iMacs harddrive. So far I have reinstalled iTunes, which is over a TB in size, and Safari, mail and calendars restored automatically from iCloud.
    MY trouble is I can't find iBooks on the disc I used as a time machine backup. I had over a thousand items in iBooks and really need it back!  I was surprised it didnt back up when I plugged my iPad into iTunes and put everything from my iPad back to the computer.
    THanks!

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iBooksX
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Enter Time Machine and restore the selected item from a snapshot.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...

  • How do i restore pictures from an icloud backup?

    Hi, does any one know how do i restore an icloud backup? i have not photo streamed any of my photos on my iphone 5 and whilst trying to sort this out i have ended up deleting about a 100 photos. Is there a way of retrieveing these through using the icloud back up?

    The iCloud backup only includes camera roll photos, not photo stream photos.  If they were in the camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them.

  • How do I restore a broken iPhone's backup onto my new one?

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4s recently stopped working (not the phone itself, just he screen) so I cannot get into it to set up an icloud backup or whatever. I luckily made a backup only a day before it broke, so now I want to put that backup onto my new iPhone 4s. Unfortunately, when I click "restore backup.." it says that my iPhone has never been backed up onto my computer, and thus it finds no backups that I can restore it to. I am aware I never backed it up, but I am unsure of how to access my backup from my old iPhone when I plug in my new iPhone into itunes. Any ideas??
    Thank you
