How to backup bookmarks

I have checked 10 pages of discussion. No help. How do I back up book marks to an external hard drive.
Thanks in advance

Hi Aliascraig.
The original plist file will always remain in the library folder unless we delete it.
"Import and Export" way of doing "buck up" is available in the Help>Safari help>search for: bookmark.
I dont think "transferring plist file" way of doing buck up is available as it is quite dangerous to do so in case we accidentally deleted one of the important file.
Cheers.

You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (''bookmarks.html'') when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to ''true'' on the '''about:config''' page.
That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page.

How I import bookmarks from 1 browser to Safari?

Hello everyone.
How I import bookmarks from 1 browser to Safari?
This applies to version 5.0.1

It is Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox
Thanks.
To export your bookmarks from Chrome, see:
[Bookmarks: Import or export bookmarks|http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=96816 ]
To export your bookmarks from Firefox, go "Bookmarks > Organise Bookmarks". In the bookmarks Library screen, go "Import and Backup > Export HTML".
Once you've got the bookmarks html files from Chrome or Firefox, in Safari bring up your menu bar and go "File > Import Bookmarks". Browse to the html file you exported from Safari or Chrome, select the html file, and click "Open". That'll take you to the Bookmarks page in Safari. The bookmarks will be in a new folder called "Imported <DateYouImportedThem>".

How to backup a macbook pro to icloud

How to Backup a MacBook Pro to Icloud

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can't back up a MacBook to iCloud, as there isn't enough storage to make backups of a Mac. Instead, you can use services like CrashPlan, but the best way to back up your Mac is by using Time Machine or a cloning app like Carbon Copy Cloner onto an external drive. Doing this, you can be sure your data is with you everywhere

Hi there, i'm new to the iPHONE community and please can someone tell me how to backup my phone to iCLOUD. How do i connect with wi-fi. Must i buy a wi-fi connetion or what.Thank you kind regards

Do you have a wi-fi network in your home ? If you do then you should be able to connect your phone to it via Settings > Wi-Fi on your phone - that should show any networks that are available, and tapping on the network that you want to use (and typing in its password if it's password protected) should connect the phone to it. If you don't have a wi-fi network then yes, you will need wifi router in your home, which is connected to the internet (e.g. via your phone line) to be able to back up your phone to iCloud.
Connecting to wifi : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5569 (the screenshots on that page are from iOS 7, but they should be similar on iOS 6)

You can also backup your phone to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

How to backup new learned remote-control data for the IR-remote APP???

Hello @ all,
does anybody know a way to backup the new learned remote control on XPERIA Z Tablet?
I found a database under:
"system/vendor/etc/sony-ir-remote/db"
But after I've saved new learned remote controls the date and the size of these DB's
are the same as before. Therefore the IR-remote control APP dosn't save the new data
in these files.
Furthermore there isn't a button in the remote-control APP to backup new learned remote controls.
And I can't choose the remote control APP in the backup function APP from the XPERIA Z Tablet
to save the data. Also the backup with the Sony PC Companion Software dosn't save the learned
remote controls. Who develops such a dross mobile software?
Sorry SONY, but you have the most unpalatable support I've lived to see!
The first SONY support center refered me to another support center.
The mobile support center does not answer to my questions per mail.
Then I call the mobile support center. The answers were shallow and standard.
The support engineer want to ask the development and call back.
However, I am still waiting for promised recall.

I am facing the same problem.
I have spend a few days to configure and train my Sony tablet to configure for all my remotes such as aircon and lighting. I did a backup using the Sony companion to my PC. When my tablet was faulty and serviced. But the backup did not recover the IR remote settings and codes which I programmed previously. I also tried your backup restore app but it also does not save the configuration.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for me to backup the settings.
Please provide the folders and path of where the IR REMOTE settings and personal configuration and codes trained were kept so that I could back them up. Are these path protected area that required rooted access?
Hope that Sony could update the app to include backup of new trained codes and settings and in the meantime to provide a procedure of how to backup the setting and trained IR codes with or without rooting the device.

How to backup an external hard drive plugged into a time capsule using time machine

How to backup an external hard drive plugged into a time capsule using time machine.
I want to move my itunes library from the mac HD to an external plugged into the time capsule, but I want to be sure this drive will still be backed up by time machine. I currentlly see no way to do this.

There is no way. You can connect the drive to your Mac and remove it from the Time Machine exclusion list. Then it will be backed up, but that will stop when you reconnect it to the TC. While it's connected to the TC, you can copy it manually to another AirPort Disk by following the instructions here (with a slight modification):
