How do I transfer all my Firefox from this Dell XP computer to a new Dell Windows 7, and do I need to download Firefox to th ws 7

I want to transfer all my bookmarks, favorites and email addresses from my Dell XP to my new Dell Windows 7. I do not know how to set up a back-up file. I am 65 yrs old, pretty much a computer illiterate and will need step by step instructions emailed to me; if anyone would be so kind. Thank you.

hello Lawrence1559, firefox does save all your bookmarks, settings and customizations into the so called [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|profile folder]] .
<br>you can copy the whole profile folder on your win xp computer like this:
* press the windows-key+R and open: ''%appdata%\''
* a windows explorer windows will open up with a folder named ''Mozilla'' in it - right-click and copy that folder and paste it onto a usb drive or any other way you can transfer it to your new computer.
* on the windows 7 pc, repeat the windows-key+R shortcut and open: ''%appdata%\'' again.
*copy the Mozilla folder from your backup into the %appdata% folder of your new pc.
*you can now download and install firefox from getfirefox.com and should have the exact same setup as on your prior pc afterwards.

    How do I transfer all my data from my original iPad 1 to my new iPad Air?

    Do a full sync and backup of your one. I use iTunes for all my backing up. Then unplug the one and plug in the Air. Go through the setup process and when you have the choice to 'set up as new or restore from backup' chooose the the restore and your air will be a near clone of your One. You will need to reset up wifi and website passwords, but the data should be there.
    Once you are sure the Air has all you need on it, you can go into the settings and 'erase all content and settings' which puts your One back to the 'out of box' state to you can sell it if you want.

  • How can I transfer all my data from my current iCloud account to a new one?

    Hello,
    Please allow me to explain my situation:
    I currently use an iCloud account named, for example, [email protected]
    I have recently rebranded my business from www.current.com to www.new.com.
    Because of this, I would like to create a new iCloud account with an email account name of [email protected]
    I realize that I can achieve a similar result by adding an alias of [email protected] from my [email protected] email, but I would like to change my account name for the iCloud service itself as well, not just email. This is for aesthetic reasons because I would like to have the same login for everything I use.
    How I can transfer all my iCloud data from [email protected] to [email protected]? I would like to transfer all data completely, as I use every feature of iCloud extensively, including email folders, notes, Safari bookmarks, etc.
    Thank you very much, I look forward to your response.

  • How do i transfer all my music from my ipod to 4gen to my new laptop so i can put it on my new ipod 5th gen

    Having trouble trying to get all my music transferd from my ipod to my laptop to put it on my new ipod 5gen that i just bought... Tried syncing it to itunes and it didnot work... Can anyone help?? Email me at [email protected] please....

    The way I had to transfer my music from my 4th Gen. to 5th Gen. ipod touch was and still is iCloud. Look up iCloud and how you use it. You'll need to Download iCloud onto your Labtop(Log in, follow the steps ect.). Make Sure To Activate iCloud on you're 4th and 5th Gen. In both Ipod settings.(Just a note this was my personal way of doing this. There is other ways im sure, just sharing my way hope it works.

    What's the best way to transfer all the content, including notes and apps, from my old 3rd gen to my new 4th gen. When I replaced my last iTouch with the 3rd gen I lost all my contacts and notes.

    Backup the 3g by syncing in iTunes. Then connect the new one and sync everything to it from your backup.

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

    You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
    You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
    Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

  • HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro

    How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
    I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it)
