I cannot import bookmarks that I backed up earlier

After I uninstalled Firefox 3.6.13 (completely) and then reinstalled it, I tried to import bookmarks that I had backed up using Firefox's Organize bookmarks-->Import & Backup-->Backup command. But, when I tried to import these bookmarks, I got a message saying that the file type was not supported. (Firefox was looking for a file with the JSQN file type and couldn't find one, but when I saved the file the default file type was JSQN.) WTF is going on?

The Import function has been moved to ''Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks'' (opens the Library window), then in the Library window ''Import and Backup > Import Data from Another Browser''

Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1

Hello,
Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1.
I have followed the steps below:
1) Export all Safari bookmarks to an HTML file (File --> Export Bookmarks)
2) Import bookmarks into Firefox (Bookmarks --> Show all bookmarks --> Import and Backup --> Import Bookmarks from HTML)
Firefox seems to load the HTML file, but the bookmarks never show up in Firefox.
Any thoughts about why this is happening?
Best,
Jaime.-

Cannot import bookmarks from Safari on a Mac because "import" under the file menu is grayed out.

To import bookmarks from Safari on a Mac following the instructions for the import wizard, I am to select "import" under the Firefox file menu, but "import" is grayed out, so I cannot select it.

* 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 and disabled and not available.
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
* Uncheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

I cannot import bookmarks because I don't have the "File Import" command in my drop down menu.

To import bookmarks from another application, you must use the drop down menu command "File>Import". I don't have that command in my menu in Firefox.

Why I cannot import bookmarks into Fedora 16 created in Mandriva 10.2

I go through the correct routine for importing bookmarks from another Firefox on another OS and nothing happens.
I am trying to do this in Fedora 16.
I have used Firefox bookmarks many times in other systems Mandriva 9.10 am 10.2. Ubuntu also with no problems on the same machine

Hi Michael,
I bounced a PCM 5.1 WAV Audio File from Logic Pro X, This File alredy plays 5.1 surround from desktop just with the space bar preview and also with QuickTime ok? But Itunes 11 doesn´t import PCM 5.1 (multi) Wav audio files as you know, so I Knew that in the Itunes 11 for the movies tracks the 5.1 surround audio is automatic.See this link below
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4072 -
What I did?
I just imported my audio file to Apple COMPRRESSOR, and choose the H.264 output format and I changed from .MOV to .MP4 (This one Itunes import with multi audio 5.1)
and also select 48 Khz and 720 Kbps. After encoding my audio file from ( 226 Mb) PCM 5.1 Wav about 4.20' went to a AAC 6 channes 48 Khz / 720 Kbps .MP4 file with 24 Mb size. Itunes import withou problem and played 5.1 surround as I wish.
I hope you understood my explanation,
Regards
Paulo

Cannot import bookmarks from Safari because "import" option is NOT highlighted (not available). Why?

MacBook Pro - FireFox 4
I was able in the past (earlier FireFox versions) to import bookmarks from Safari when clicking on the "Organize Bookmarks." This now is not available. Instead, under "file" there is an "import" option but it is NOT highlighted, i.e., it is not available for clicking. How do you import bookmarks from Safari (or any other browser) after you have used FireFox for a while. i.e., not when you first set it up, but later?

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.
The option to import can be disabled if you are in private browsing mode. To stop Firefox opening in private browsing mode do this:
# Open the Preferences window and go to the Privacy panel
# Change the setting "Firefox will" to "Remember history", alternatively if you set it to "Use custom settings for history", de-select the setting "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

I have Firefox 7.0 and I cannot alphabetize bookmarks that are online. I can alphabetize the ones on the first line where you see file, edit, view etc. But not under Bookmarks

I am trying to alphabetize both the separate websites and also the folders, I cannot do the folders. I have read every article, I tried the import, export function, I tried snyc, nothing seems to work. The bookmark folders are in the Yahoo tool bar that is added.

Me again,
A friend suggested that I do a system restore.
I did a search for system restore in Windows 7 and got a very intuitive menu.
I selected an earlier system restore point and executed the restore.
After the computer restart I reloaded Firefox 5.0 and the Ask.com problem was corrected.
My friend says this approach may work about 25% of the time to fix this kind of problem. In my case it worked and I am happy.
Thanks all.

Cannot import bookmarks file (file is neither JSON or HTML)

I recently reformatted my laptop with a friend (works in IT), and from what I remember, he saved the bookmarks through the "Import and Backup / Backup" functions.
When I went to import it back into Firefox, and I browsed to the location of the file, it was apparently not recognized, as it didn't show up in the folder I know it's in. While in this process, I also noticed that Firefox is either looking for a JSON or HTML file. When I looked at the backup file more closely, I noticed it doesn't have a file extension. When I looked at the properties of the file, it simply says "file". I went online looking for an online tool to help identify the file, and found TrID (http://mark0.net/onlinetrid.aspx/). When I ran it through this identification software all I got back was:
"The file seems to be plain text/ASCII. TrID is best suited to analyze binary files!"
As I see no option in Firefox to load this file type, I'm wondering what could have gone wrong during the back up process.
I was able to open the file in Excel (just a hunch because it "seemed" to be a text file according to the online file identification). The file did open, unusable of course, but at least it appears that the file isn't corrupt anyway.
Please could someone help me with this? I have all of my work search links in this backup, and it would be a ton of effort to recreate it all!
My info:
Windows XP Home, SP3
Firefox 14.0.1

Open that file again in a text program like Wordpad and post the first few lines of that text file here. If it appears to be one very long file without any line breaks, post the first 50 or so characters.

Cannot import bookmarks to E71

I just got my e71 which is great but using Nokia suite and ticking boxes to add bookmarks from pc IE, but cannot find them on my phone. Am I just not looking in the right place? I am very frustrated, as I can't find any answer anywhere. Is it such an unusual occurance that I am the only one with this problem? I think rather that I am just doing something wrong. Please help!!

I thought I'd add that I created a new profile in Nokia Suite, unticked everything but bookmarks, added a new bookmark to IE (this page) and then did a new sync. It said completed but 0 additions. As I said, please help me!

I had duplicates in ical and address book. i got all deleted, but now when i import ical that was backed up, it goes away in a few seconds. my address book still has duplicates.

Not sure why, but now I have two of everything. GREATTTTTTT.

Cannot import files that I just saved on photoshop

This is the situation I encounter very often: I get a graphic from a client, I open it on photoshop, resize it, crop it, check transparency and so on, then I save it as a .psd file to work on it on Premiere
When I open Premiere and select the import function I can see the folder and I can see the file I just saved but Premiere doesn't let me select it to import it. The file shows up on the screen as transparent as if its not possible to select it
I am attaching a screen shot below to illustrate what Im saying, this is the little screen that shows up when I select import from Premiere. The file I just saved on photoshop in this case is "gmc logo 3" and as you can see its not on full black color but on light gray, and it doesn't let me select it for import
Now the very weird thing is that to solve this situation I have to go outside Premiere, open the FINDER and find the folder and the file in question, I then select the same file Premiere didn't let me select and then drag it from the outside window into the Premiere timeline, and Premiere DOES take it, it plays well, it works, everything is good but 5 seconds prior Premiere didn't want to read it using the import function
Ive been working like this since I got my system but as you can imagine is very annoying. It doesn't do it all the time but 50% of the time it does, I haven't been able to see which specific format it does it with, I think it does it more with .psd files but Im not 100% sure its only with .psd files
Just wanted to know if anybody else has encountered this same situation, maybe its something simpler than I imagine. I have a Premiere CC installed on the new Mac Pro
Thanks!

Mark you actually solved the situation I think, and no I hadnt notice that the file in question was the only one without an extension.
It seems that when I select SAVE AS on photoshop I select the entire original name file (including the extension) and I write the new name (erasing the original extension) so the file doesnt have an extension and when I select import on Premiere then it doesnt let me select it because of that.
As I mentioend on my original post it was simpler than I imagine, thank you!!

I cannot use autofill on websites in my bookmarks that previously worked on earlier version.

I enter many contests and keep them in my bookmarks. In the previous version of Firefox I could use AutoFill to complete entry forms. AutoFill hasn't worked with Firefox 4 even though all the information is still in AutoFill.

you should ask the experts at this board:

Safari 3.1.2 won't import bookmarks

I cannot import bookmarks from Safari 1.3.2 on my eMac (OS 10.3.9) to the latest version of Safari I have on my iMac. I have tried importing them as a text file copied from backups (both flash and external drives). I have tried copying them from eMac to iMac via a firewire connection. Nothing seems to work. In any case OS 10.5.5 will not open the old Safari.
Any suggestions anyone?

You can use File > Export Bookmarks to export them as an HTML file, then use File > Import Bookmarks in Safari 3.1.2.

I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back-up app.

Have used Superduper app. to back up and checked back-up occasionally to see if all files present and appeared OK.
I had previously started machine using original CD #1 to try and replace Eudora which was acting up. Did not knowingly touch Safari.
Running iMAC System 10.4.11
How can I successfully download from the Maxtor back-up?

Further info.
I checked the content of my other back-up and found the bookmark Bookmarks.plist in the library under Safari
Dumped the existing copy in the computer and drag-dropped the back up. All bookmarks restored.
Solved the Stickies problem by using Spotlight to find file "stickiesdatabase" and did a drag- drop to replace file. All data restored.
Re Ical data loss. Used Spotlight to find iCal document in Library - Preferences where I found com.apple.iCal.plist in folder.
Got ready to make change but did not immediately remove file. When I returned to Preferences folder to grab above document,
the readable descriptors had been changed to code consisting of some upper case letters and/or single symbols!
So now I cannot tell which is the symbol iCal.plist
Thanks for leading me so far, but how do I find that plist for my calendar?
