I followed the instructions to import favourites from IE but it didn't work. What did I do wrong?

All I get is a folder called "links from the united kingdom" containing three more folders which are the first second and fifth in my IE favourites list.

Incomplete importing sometimes happens (example of past thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/835144 Only 1/3rd of my bookmarks imported from IE. How do I move the rest?]). Could be related to the number/depth of folders, but I'm not sure whether anyone has definitely identified the cause(s).
For best results, export from IE to an intermediate file, which is in HTML format. Then import that file into Firefox. It will be a folder on the Bookmarks Menu, and you can use the Organizer/Library dialog to rearrange them the way you want them.
The following pages give the steps:
* IE: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Import-or-export-favorites-in-Internet-Explorer Import or export favorites in Internet Explorer]
* Firefox: [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
Success?

I followed the instructions to import my favorites from Explorer, but there is not file for Explorer under the Bookmark tab.

I followed the instructions to import my favorites from Explorer, but there is no Explorer file under the Bookmarks tab. How do I get my favorites imported?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I follow the instructions of swiping up from the bottom for the control panel, but nothing appears. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to be turned on or off?

I can on mine.
For anyone having this issue, take your device out of the case and try it naked before trying a reset, restore or Genius Bar appointment.

I've downloaded movies from the iTunes store to my iPad but when I want to play them, I get the message... iTunes Store Terms and Conditions but when I follow the link it still doesn't let me play my movies. What am I doing wrong?

Easy maybe, but a lot of users are used to playing the movies in iTunes on their computers so that is the first place they turn to on the iPad.
Enjoy the show!

Sorry if I confused you. Let me try again:
1) do a full backup your iPhone to a PC using iTunes
2) go to: settings, general, reset, erase all content and settings.erase phone.
3) when iPhone starts again choose set as new phone. Do not restore from icloud or iTunes.
4) once done. Setup your email accounts. When done, verify checked emails do not uncheck themselves.
That resolved, finish setting up:
5) go to: settings, icloud, uncheck email, and set other icons as wished. Now setup icloud account.
6)This step will make all contracts reside in icloud and be available always: Once icloud account is setup, go back to settings, email contacts. Open each email account and uncheck contacts, but leave mail checked. Then go to the icloud email account and check contacts.

Firfox is ceashing when I attepmt to download a file. Everything works until I close Firfox and then attempt to re-open the browser then it crashes. I tried deleting the download file in my profile folder but it didn't work.

Downgrade to an older nightly that works for a week or so, then test again to see if the bug's still there. In the mean time, report the bug on Bugzilla if it hasn't already been. There's really nothing you can do about bugs in nightlies.
(A similar sort of bug that triggered 60 seconds after opening, every time, was what got me out of using nightlies as my main browser.)

I'm trying to import favourites from Explorer but on the File menu the Import option is not available

I found an article on importing favourites from Explorer. It said press Alt, (which I did but couldn't see anything happening) and then from the File menut, click on Import. However, the Import selection is not available.

if you are unable to see click "import" from menu tab to import bookmark from other browser, in bookmark tab ( Alt B), go to organise bookmark ( Shift+Ctrl+B), on top of the newly pop up tab, click "Import and backup" and click Import HTML, then in Import bookmark from, choose the browser you want to import the bookmark from...hope this help.

HT1923 I cannot uninstall apple mobile device support. I am following the instructions for removing and reinstalling itunes but now stuck. Please help.

I am following the instructions for removing and reinstalling itunes because I had a "msvcr80.dll missing from your computer" error. I have uninstalled itunes and apple software update but the next one in order "apple mobile device support" will not uninstall. According to the instructions, that one has to be removed before I can do the rest. Would love any help I can get.

Hello and thanks so much for your quick reply. I am at a standstill, because I have done those things already and it has not worked. The repair install procedure seemed to take place quickly, but the same thing happened again when I tried to uninstall it the program after that.... It seems to proceed, then the progress bar goes backward, and there it still is!
When I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit program and asked it to uninstall the Apple Mobile device Support, it started but then got stuck and I had to shut my computer off, as it froze everything up!
I'm hoping you can help..... This seems to be a problem with the new version, and it's frustrating, because I can't use Itunes on my computer at all till we find a solution.
Perhaps if I try to restore my computer to before the Itunes 11.1.4 uodate?
Thanks so much for your help,

I followed the instructions for restoring bookmarks from an older Firfox to a new one but it doesn't work.

I'm trying to get my old bookmarks installed with Firefox on a drive holding Win xp to Firfox installed on a different drive holding Win 7. I followed the backup and restore process in the Firefox help file but it doesn't work. Help will be appreciated because I have a slew of bookmarks that I would like to use with Win 7.

If you need to merge bookmarks then you need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file on the other computer.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

HT1212 Hi, I've backed up my iphone before and i forgot the password, then i follow the instruction, backup again first then restore, but unfortunately it still the same !!!!!!! keep tells me iPhone is disabled, it's a iOS5 system

so what can i do now ? is there anyway to make it open? thanks. it's urgent...

Read the article from which you referenced. It tells you how to restore your phone if you can't remember your pascode.

HT1414 i am following the instructions given and clicking on update but it just says that my ipod doesnt need updating. But when i go to download apps every single one says i need an upgrade on my iso

i really need some help, no app is downloading on to my ipod :/

What generation is your iPod? Some apps require the latest iOS to operate fully. And only iPod 3rd and 4th generation can upgrade to latest iOS.
This could be part of the issue, just a suggestion.
 also you could check settings>general>software update section on iPod also.
Hope this helps !!
