I have exported my bookmarks to an external drive. I want to import them back and they dont show when i click import..

When i click import, then open external hard drive the bookmarks dont show. If i open the external drive via 'start/computer' i can see them in it ok,.

Yes, that is a JSON backup, so you need to remove the .html file extension and add a .json file extension instead.<br />
If Windows is stubborn and doesn't want to change the file type but merely changes the name to bookmarks.json.html then try to add quotes around the name when renaming or (temporarily) disable hiding the file extension.

Note that restoring a JSON backup will replace the current bookmarks, so you lose any bookmarks that aren't in the backup unless you first export the bookmarks to an HTML file.<br />
Then you can import that file after you've restored the JSON backup.

    Michael: are you still using an old version o0f PSE (e.g. PSE V4)? Problems similar to the one that you described are relatively frequent in old PSE Versions ( I was suffering a lot from them)..... and there are quite seldom in newer PSE versions.  Unfortunately, I do not remember which PSE Version became much better in this area (was it V5? or V6?)
    If using an older PSE version and encoutering often the problem: consider to migrate to a newer PSE Version..

  • I have been using Lightroom 4.4 successfully for over 2 years.  Just tried to import some new photos after a vacation and the application crashes when I click "import" every time.  Tried restarting computer.  Version says it is up to date.

    How do I get formal support for this from Adobe?

    Thanks for the response.  The application was crashing.  A Windows message was displayed showing "Lightroom.exe has stopped working", "Windows can check online for a solution the problem.". Etc.
    I just launched Lightroom to check the exact message for this reply - and the Import worked.  It had failed dozens of times before.

  • I have an itunes library on an external drive I want to use on a dool boot computer. How do I set this up without duplication of files

    Ok, here goes with the explanation. I am running a Mac Mini mid 2010 with mt iTunes library on an external USB drive. I dual boot the computer into Windows 7. I want to be able to use the same iTunes library in both Operating Systems. I am trying to set this up on the Windows side without accidentily erasing, moving or duplicating any files. In the past when I have tried I have ended up with multiple files. I have an iCloud also but do not want to download any files again. How can I get iTunes on Windows to simply recognise my existing storage and create a library list from what is already there rather than duplicating files?
    Update: As soon as I signed in with my iTunes account iCloud picked up my playlist and now lists all my music. Right clicking on the songs give me the choice to download the files, but the files already exist oin my external USB. I simply want iTunes on Windows 7 to point to the existing files.

    How is the external drive formatted?

  • Bt want old home hub back and i dont have it anymo...

    Hi hope some one can help me with this. My old home hub got broken and I called bt on Sun 6th May for a new one. I received the new one on Tues 8th May.
    A week later I received a letter from Bt informing me to return the old home hub back for recycling within two weeks or I may be charged for it.
    My problem is that I wasnt told of this on the phone ( was told replacement hub would be free) and there was nothing in package the new hub came in either. I no longer have the old one as i have thrown in out.
    I called bt and got nowhere. I was passed to many different people and left on hold many times. After 45mins of this I hung up. Now today I received a frrepost bag from  BT to return the old hub.
    Does anyone know how much I will be charged or is it a case of waiting till next bill comes in?

    Hi bambieyes and welcome
    Hmm, IMHO BT should of told you this at the time you reported it
    I'd say they now ask for the old one to be returned to prevent fraudulent 'claims' - NOT saying this is you, just a general example. Some may state theirs is broken, then sell it on a well known Internet auction site...
    Anyway, ask the mods to see what they can do for you. You need to fill out this form - http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951 
    You should get a reply within 72 hours

  • After years w no problems, my Firefox bookmark, history bar has disappeared. Now it's just Google and only Google. When I click on Mozilla it goes to Google w no Firefox on top.

    I tried system restore, to no avail. When I go to Mozilla, it just gives me a Google screen. Although that works fine as a browser, I need my history, bookmarks etc. and that bar is no where to be found. The little Firefox icon in upper left of screen is gone too.
    When I go to Explorer, everything is there--favorites etc. Problem just with Firefox which I prefer to use, and has all my most current bookmarks. What happened?

    look here for menu bar is missing:

  • How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

    Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
    So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
    Thank you in advance

    I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.

  • Can i have my windows partition on an external drive?

    hello all,
         alright, so im looking at a laptop for college and after much research and a few trips to the apple store i want the new, 13-inch macbook pro, with retina display and a 256GB flash hard drive. i love this computer in every aspect except.... you guessed it, its small hard drive. i can always get external drives to make up the differance though, and their is always the cloud so i dont think ill have too much of a problem. but i do need to use some software for college that is only windows based. so rather then splitting up this already small hard drive can i just install windows onto my mac (because i already know i cant put windows on an external drive with boot camp) and make the entire windows partition on the external drive? this way im not losing any native space besides that used to hold windows and im not installing windows to an external drive so hopefully bootcamp wont have a hissey fit. can anyone tell me if this will work? or if this wont work can anyone give me any other solutions to having windows on my mac without splitting up my native hard drive? such as installing windows to my mac and making the partition in the cloud or something? just anything so i dont have to split my already small, yet extremally fast, 256GB hard drive.

    You can install Windows on your internal drive and store your Windows data on any drive you want to use. Keep in mind that any Windows programs you install in Windows will be installed on your internal drive. So make the Boot Camp partition large enough for Windows and any programs you may install now or in the future. You will also need room for swap/page files and other activities such as installing Windows updates.
    100GB will likely be a good size for the Boot Camp partition given that it is unknown what programs you will be installing.

  • I have my Time Machine on an external drive (not connected to Airport Extreme) and I have an external HD attached to airport extreme. Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme. How?

    I have my Time Machine on an external drive (not connected to Airport Extreme) and I have an external HD attached to airport extreme. Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme. How?

    Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme.
    Sorry, but no.
    Time Machine will backup your Mac, but not the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme.
    Time Machine will back up a hard drive only if it is attached directly to your Mac via USB or FireWire.

  • I have my iTunes media on an external drive but I would like to know if I keep the library file back to my internal hard drive so it gets backed up by Time Machine.

    I have all my media on an external drive for space. Is there a way I move the library file back to my internal had drive so that Timemachine will keepa  backup of the file. Recently my library file became damaged and I lost all my playlists and playcounts and all that good stuff. Thanks for your help.

    I never lost any media mind you just the library file that tell iTunes where everything lives.
    On this point, you can keep a copy of of the "Itunes Music Library.xml" file, which contains the itunes metadata for your music library (songs & playlists).
    Obviously, you would still need the files themselves for this to be of any worth, but if you ever find yourself in the same situation you can use the .xml file to recreate iTunes as it was. Keep in mind that you must import the .xml file into iTunes for this to work, you cannot simply move it via the finder. 

  • I have been dragging my files to a external drive to have a back-up for them and I lost some of my folders. They just went completely missing. I didn't delete them, and it was all stuff that I have worked on in the past month. How do I get them back?

    You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system.  These can automatically back up only what's changed since the  previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
    Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
    You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX.  You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    #27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

  • My repaired macbook now has Yosemite. I have my photo library on an external drive loaded with Aperture 2. Now unable to do anything.

    My "photo management macbook" crashed and when it was repaired it was upgraded to Yosemite. This macbook is used exclusively for photos using Aperture 2 (I also have a new Pro retina and an older macbook as well, with Yosemite and Lion loaded respectively). I have my photo library on an external drive and it was loaded using Aperture 2. Now I cannot use Aperture, cannot see photos, cannot upgrade to Aperture 3.6 and so cannot migrate photos to another software package, which I am going to have to do this year sometime.
    What can I do to get Aperture working and migrate my photos?

    On Yosemite you can only run Aperture 3.6, but that will not run on Lion.
    If you want to get Aperture running on your photo management macbook, restore it to the previous system from the last backup you made before the crash occurred, if you have a full Time Machine backup.  If you want to keep the Mac on Yosemite, try to restore the older system to an external drive and boot the Mac from that drive, when you want to work with Aperture 2.
    Otherwise your only option would be to buy the upgrade to Aperture 3.6.

  • I have my iPhoto set to an external drive yesterday when it was in use the usb disconnected i now have a message saying (your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable) I have tried shutting down and restarting.

    I have my iPhoto set to an external drive, when it was in use the usb disconected as i was moving my mac air, when i re-conected a message said (your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable).
    I have tried shutting it down and then re opening iPhoto but get the same message.
    The reason for the external drive was there was not enough room on my hard drive, I have around 7000 photos on it.
    is there a simple fix?
    Regards
    Dale

    These are your options:
    1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
              Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
              Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
    2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
              Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
              Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
    3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
              Advantages: All images and albums should be preserved.
              Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.
