I have followed instructions for importing favorites from Internet Explorer, but they do not show up in Bookmarks menu as shown in the support instructions.

I just downloaded Firefox 3.6 and followed the instructions for importing Favorites from Internet Explorer. Firefox said the import was successful, but the Favorites do not appear at the bottom of the Bookmarks menu (below "Mozilla Firefox") as shown in the Support instructions. Where can I access my Favorites?

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).<br />
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

I imported all my favorites from Internet Explorer, but in the Firefox window I don't see a favorites tab. I've got a bunch of favorites that I don't want to have to redo. Any advice?

If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.<br />
That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.

When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Is there a fix for this?

Hello Nigel.
Are you sure the Bookmarks you important are nowhere to be found? They should be stored in your bookmark manager, somewhere. To access the bookmark manager, go into ''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks...''. Try searching there.
You can change their place from there too.

I imported my favorites from Internet Explorer but I need to know how to display my "favorites" in the tool bar so I can access and organize them

I imported my favorites from Internet Explorer, but how do I display "favorites" in the tool bar so I can access and organize them?

It did merge them after a fashion, glad I took a backup first even if I did only perhaps create 3 or 4 bookmarks today. So if I have bookmark separators, it's going to figure out which group to put them in (no way). Anyway I thought they would just go down to the bottom of the bookmarks menu like the other method, like when I export and import bookmarks in Firefox where they do go to the end of the Bookmarks Menu folder and would simply delete one folder.
Anyway this would not be typical because I don't want any bookmarks from IE.

I can see my photos on my ipad and Iphone. I want to be able to see them on my PC when I take pictures from my Iphone and Ipad. How do I see Photostream on my PC?

You have to install the iCloud control panel for windows, then sign in with you apple ID, and check what you want to sync.

I download songs from a CD but they do not show up in Search or list

In iTunes 11 (yes, the new iTunes *****), I download the songs from a CD and they do not show up in Search, under Songs, under Artist, etc. The songs show up the next day, however. All I can think of is that Apple is uploading my songs and won't show them in iTunes until they have done so. I would hope not, but I have checked all my settings and cannot find anything else that might be going on.

Well, I think I found the answer to my own question. Usually when I do a search, the songs show up in a list as I type. However, with a new song, I have to actually hit the return key to have it show up. Later, like the next day, it will show up automatically as I type, but songs new to iTunes don't.

I have Windows Vista. I have tried to import my favorites from Internet Explorer but it won't import it just says it has stop functioning & will send report to Microsoft.

I have a lap top with Windows 7 & I was able to import my favs with no problem, so wondering if it is the Vista that is doing it

It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

I want to transfer/sync my "favorites" from Internet Explorer 9 to Fire Fox, which only offers "Bookmarks." How do I import my favorites from Explorer to Firefox?

I was unable to view Comcast videos, only, using IE 9, and a Comcast tech came out to my home to troubleshoot the problem. He could not resolve the issue within IE9 and I am operating from a Lenovo Laptop model type R500. The tech suggested that I use Mozilla Fire Fox for several reasons: 1) Fire Fox provides better security; and 2) it fixed the problem of me not being able to view Comcast videos, which I can not view in Fire Fox but not IE. I can most videos in both browsers, just now Comcast videos in IE. I have used IE for many, many years and have important websites stored in my IE "favorites" feature, but when I transferred usage to Fire Fox only my Bookmarks imported and not my "Favorites." How can I get my "Favorites" easily imported into Fire Fox?

Dear mbrubeck: Thank you for so quickly responding to my question and I was able to import my favorites based on your help -- thank you for your generous spirit of volunteerism to assist me. The only thing that has seemed to have become problematic, is that after I followed the instructions and successfully imported my favorites from IE9 into FF 5.0, the bookmark symbol, formally located on the right upper hand corner of the FF page next to the "home" button has disappeared and I do not know how to make it return, so that I can easily access my bookmarks. Any ideas on how to get that icon to return? Thank you again for your assistance, as I am brand-spanking new user of MFF. Thank you again for your help and if you can help figure this one last quirk, I would be most appreciative. TH

I'm on 64-bit windows 7 trying to import favorites from Internet Explorer 8 to Firefox 3.6.10. When I click on File menu, the import option is grayed out. Any suggestions please...

Sorry, no more content to add.

Yes, apparently I was in Private Browsing mode. I guess FireFox came up in that mode when I started it for the first time. Changed to Remember History mode, Import was then usable and I was able to import my Internet Explorer favorites. Thanks TonyE...

Hello blu monkey,
I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below. When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it. When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I have some movies I used redempetion codes for in iTunes on my computer hard drive, but they are not showing up on my Purchased list nor in the Cloud. I am concerned if something should happen to my computer that the movies will be lost.

Like the topic says, in the past year, I have used redemption codes on blu-rays I have purchased in iTunes and downloaded copies of the movies to my desktop. The problem is I am not seeing them in the Cloud if I want to watch them on my iPad or Apple TV. It also worries me that should my computer crash, the movies are lost since the codes are already redeemed. Advice?

I can only answer your first issue. In your ipad go to settings, iTunes & App Store, click on your Apple ID and sign out. Wait a few minutes and then log back in. The hidden apps shouldn't show any more on your ipad.

I want to import bookmaks from Internet Explorer, but "import" on the file menu is grayed out.

I dont know what else to tell you.

This can happen if you are in private browsing mode. In that mode some features are disabled. For details of how to get out of private browsing mode see this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
