I am trying to import my bookmarks from IE9, when I click on the file tab, the import tab is disabled, any sugestions?

I am using Windows 7, Norton internet security and have down loaded and installed the latest updates from fire fox.
I have gone to the help section on importing bookmarks from IE9, when I select file and go to "import" the tab appears to be disabled, when I click on it, nothing happens.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

Trying to convert my movie from Imovie to a high quality Itunes file and the program keeps crashing! This is an xmas gift for my mom ! Please help

Help! I made a 10 min movie for my mom for Christmas. Whenever I try to "share" it to make a cd of it the program keeps crashing! I HAVE to get this in the mail by friday! Please help

iTunes will not directly convert a protected AAC song. It also cannot convert some songs that are corrupted or have bad ID3 tags.
If it constantly fails at the same song, try eliminating that song from the list.
I have also found out that converting 400+ songs at a time can cause a fatal crash within iTunes. I usually stick to 200-250 songs at a time.
Post back with more details if it still happens.

I am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?

am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?
I have, on my HP laptop, running XP Pro, using Firefox 4.0, went under bookmarks to show all bookmarks. A window opens up that says library. I then go to import and back up, and I choose export HTML. I then move this file over to my new Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro I also have Firefox 4.0. I go up under bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import HTML. It lets me browse and I find the file on the desktop, I select it then nothing happens. I am not interested in using Safari. I would like to continue using Firefox. However, as an experiment, I followed the same process except on my Apple computer I opened up Safari and tried to import in the Firefox bookmarks. It came up with an error saying the file could not be accessed. I then thought perhaps the file got corrupted, so I went back to my Windows Firefox and re-exported the bookmarks again. Same problem. So, am I creating the bookmarks incorrectly on my Windows machine?
Thanks,
Kent

Probably your Mac cannot understand the Windows html format, please try the following to see if it helps:
In your PC, export the bookmarks in html as you did in your post. After you have saved it, change the name of the file to “bookmarks.html” and save it again.
In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed

I have Firefox 7.0.1 and it has no bookmark transfer feature that I can see. It used to have a Manage Bookmarks but that seems to have vanished. I am trying to transfer my bookmarks from my Imac to my Macbook Pr0 can you no longer do that?

hello,
It would be 'Bookmarks' > 'Show All Bookmarks' and in the window that appears there is an 'Import and Backup' menu on the top. Click that and then choose 'Export Bookmarks to HTML..'. Now on the other PC it would be the same procedure except for the last, where now you have to choose 'Import Bookmarks from HTML...'.

How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

Importing bookmarks to Firefox

Migrate/import (?) bookmarks from iBook to new iMac?

Is there some way to move my bookmarks from my old iBook to my new iMac? I ran the Migratiion Assistant, but that doesn't seem to have done the trick.
thanks,
Chris

If you're using Safari, go to File/Export Bookmarks... and save the file. Then, copy the file over to your new Mac, and use the File/Import Bookmarks... option.
You can clean up the mix of old/new Bookmarks by clicking on the Bookmark icon at the left end of your Bookmarks bar.
You should be able to use Target FireWire Mode (hold down T while booting your old Mac, connect to new Mac with FIreWire cable) to mount the old Mac on you new Mac's Desktop, then copy the file to your new Mac. Or,
Using a USB 2.0 Flash Drive to copy the file to the stick, plug it into your new Mac, copy the file from the flash drive, and again import it into Safari.

What version of iPhoto?
Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
Here is a link.

Other things to check:
Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

Imported favorite bookmarks from IE and now all links are to BBC news

I downloaded and installed Firefox, imported favorites/bookmarks from IE running Windows 7, and now all the bookmarks that seemed to have been imported point to BBC news link.
Any suggestions?

Open the Firefox SafeMode and select '''Delete all bookmarks except for backups''', then Continue in SafeMode. 
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
Then close Firefox. Open IE and use '''File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file''' and save that file to the Desktop. Close IE.
Then open Firefox and open '''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file ''and select that file you saved on the Desktop'' '''.
Hopefully that method will work better.

Since the import feature is missing from the Firefox 9 File menu, how do I import my bookmarks from Safari on an iMac using Lion?

I don't know what to add to the question, which is quite specific. I downloaded Firefox 9, but cannot find the Import section on the File Menu, as in previous versions, and as in the help section in Firefox Help.

i had the same problem you describe. the simplest way i found to import my bookmarks from safari is to: with firefox open click on "bookmarks" then " show all bookmarks". you will get a folder titled "library". in the menu bar you will see a 5 pointed star. click on it to open the drop down box. one of the options is to "import data from another browser". then follow the instructions from there. this worked for me. hope this helps.

I am trying to import my bookmarks from IE9, when I click on the file tab, the import tab is disabled, any sugestions?
