How to import bookmarks to an external drive

Hi,
I am trying to save all my information (bookmarks, cookies, etc...) to an external HD, waiting to get another computer, both with FF.
I save them to a html file, but now I am blocked. I don't want to send them to another browser, just another device.
Could you please help me?
Thank you very much

The bookmarks and history are stored in the places.sqlite database file in the profile folder and there are also ten JSON backups (one is created each day) in the bookmarkbackups folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • How to import ITunes library from external drive

    Using Mac, Leopard, Time Machine, my hard drive crashed Had a recent backup on Time Machine. New computer doesn't recognize last backup of TM on external hard drive, but I can find my ITunes Library there, with thousands of songs.
    when I go in ITunes to Import Library and navigate to the old ITunes Library, it won't let me import the whole thing, only lets me import one song at a time, which would take eons.
    Any suggestions on how to do it in one fell swoop?

    I'm sure that solution would work, but I guess something else I did is messing things up.
    the first tip I got was to Consolidate Library. It forced me to consolidate on another partition of my external hard drive. Now that I tried Add Library, it's putting all the music on that external location, which filled up fast and can't take anymore.
    Any thought on how to get my full library back on my internal drive?

  • I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

    I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
    You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.<br />
    A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":<br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
    You may need to add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

  • How to store photo's on external drive and still use Time Machine and secondary back up plan

    So, My Macbook Pro is now going on 4 years old and I've accumulated around 15,000 photos in iPhoto now.  I would like to move everything (or at least everything older than 12 months) onto a portable external drive, but i'm not sure the best way to do this and still keep a good back up plan.  My current process is the following -- I have external HD same size as my current internal drive on the MBP, which is formatted that i use Time Machine.  I also have a paid subscription to Crash Plan online cloud back up that is connected to my laptop drive (CrashPlan is constant and easy, so I just USB plug in MBP to EHD a few times a month and that's it).  If I were to move most of my picture/video's/important docs to an external drive, how would I back that up with Time Machine, and if I did, how would I back up my laptop drive with Time Machine also, and what drive would I assign my Crash Plan online account too?  Cant seem to wrap my brain around the easiest and best method.  (In short, I want most pics/video's stored off the laptop so that my HD is not consumed; but still easy to access if needed, and easy to back up)  Also driving this need for a solution is the fact i would like my next lap top to be an Macbook Air, which I know I can't keep my current set up would not work.  Any thoughts are appreciated.

    if your internal drive has 250 GB and the external drive with the iPhoto library as well, your TimeMachine should have at least 1 TB.
    I have read over some of CrashPlans support docs and it sounds like it will be able to back up and restore the iPhoto library, and as long as you restore the entire library and not single photos, it will save and restore all metadata as well.
    I studied their documents to.  They are saying they can backup any filetype. And they are saying the iPhoto libraries or Aperture libraries will be backed up automatically, when they are in in the Pictures folder, because the Home folder will be backed up.
    On their screenshot you can see, that the libraries are backed up as a nested set of folders, and not as a package. That let's me doubt that the dependencies within the package will be treated correctly. To restore from the backup they recommend to restore the set of nested folders.  What I could not find anywhere in the documentation is any information on the filesystem they are storing the backup on. If it is not Apple's MacOS Extended (Journaled, not case sensitive) the restored library may be corrupted, because the internal links in the databases may not work. Try to find out something about the filesystem on the backup servers, before you entrust your iPhoto library to that servers.

  • How do I boot from an external drive?

    I've just Carbon Cloned my 60GB drive to a firewire external drive. I'm about to replace the 60GB with a 160GB drive and the CCC instructions say boot from the external drive I'd just created once the new disk is installed. Then CCC the cloned drive back to the new hard drive.
    So, how do I boot from an external drive? Do I have load anything to the new drive? Will the macbook detect the external drive and boot from that? Or what??????
    Thanks
    Dick

    Thanks DWB. Being the rash impetuous guy I am I didn't wait for replies and just switched on the macbook after installing the new disk (which was so easy it was unbelievable - had to go and buy a a little torx bit though) to see what would happen.
    Blow me down with a feather if it didn't just boot off the external drive all by itself :-O It did come up with the disk was unverified and I could see it in FINDER and I was prseented with a screen to ERASE/RESTORE etc.
    When I went to CCC the external drive back to the new hard drive it didn't give show me the new hard drive so I guessed I'd have to do something to format (?) the hard drive.
    I don't know if I did the right thing but I went to disk utilities and chose ERASE in the vague hope it would maybe format the disk in some way.
    Seems to work now and the CCC replaced the system perfectly as far as I can see.
    Basically very impressive all round. Piece of proverbial to replace the disk and CCC made life so easy.
    Thanks again.
    Cheers

  • How to create mount point from external drive directory

    Hi,
    Is it possible to create a mount point pointing directly to an external drive directory?
    For example I would like to have /Volumes/Media point to my external eSATA drive /eSATA/Media
    What I am trying to achieve is that I can see a virtual drive in Finder called "Media"
    This is important because when this external drive is connected on my NAS Server the /eSATA/Media directory
    shows up as a mounted drive called "Media" alse (through afp).
    What I want is to see "Media" pointinf to  /eSATA/Media regardles if it is connected directly to my MacBook or connected on my NAS.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to import bookmarks from iPhone to Mac using iTunes?

    Can anyone tell me how to import bookmarks from an iPhone onto my desktop (iMac)? All of our bookmarks were accidentally deleted from our mini mac, which then deleted them from our desktop with iCloud. My wife has all the bookmarks on her phone but we can't figure out how to sync them. The only info we could find was to click the info button on iTunes and then sync, but there is no info button. Any help?

    If you have OS X 10.9 Mavericks, then at this time there is no direct syncing of bookmarks, contacts nor calendar items between a Mac and an iOS device. All synching is done via iCloud. If there's another way to transfer your bookmarks from the iPhone to your Mac, I'm not aware of it, unless there's a third-party browser for the iPhone that could import the bookmarks from Safari and then transfer them by some other method. But if you set your wife's iPhone up to your iCloud account, that should then sync.
    Regards.

  • 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>".

  • I have removed the hard drive from my laptop and connected it to my netbook as an external drive. Now, I can't find or acces my saved Firefox bookmarks on the external drive. How do I get it to display like it did on the original laptop?

    Now that I am using it as an external drive, how do I get the harddrive I removed from my laptop to display like it did when it was still in the laptop , when I connect it to a new computer?. I can't locate my Firefxox bookmarks that I originally saved to the HD when it was in the laptop. The laptop is dead but fortunately I was able to salvage the hard drive. I Need help urgently since I have tons of bookmarked pages and saved passwords that are critical to my work and life. The original laptop that the HD came from has a Windows Vista OS. The netbook I connect the HD to uses Windows XP.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when I converted laptop HD to an external drive.

  • How can I import files from an external drive?

    Hello everyone,
    I have an external drive containing all the video files I want to make a DVD from,
    but when I open iDVD I am not able to select these files(as they are not in imoves / iphoto etc),
    how can I get to these files to import them to an iDVD project without copying them to my hard drive?
    thanks!
    Dan

    Hi
    To little info to be able to answer.
    Movie file - in what format/codec ?
    Convert it into - StreamingDV .mov - then just drop it into iDVD Menu window (avoid active zoones).
    BUT - if movie is 30fps - then start the iDVD project as NTSC/29.97 fps or if 25fps then let iDVD do a PAL (25fps) project.
    Forcing iDVD to convert "works" - BUT result is from BAD to Worse !
    I use JES_Deinterlacer to convert fps PAL/NTSC - as it does this very good and is free on internet.
