I have old firefox bookmarks stored in a seperate favorites file. I want to transfer them and cant get the answer.

This cant be this difficult. I have them saved in a "starred" favorites folder. I do not want to import from IE, I dont want to import from HTML I just want to copy these bookmarks to the new browser. I had a system crash and has to reinstall FF but I managed to keep the old favorites. I thought I had them transferred but it is just a pointer to the location on the desktop then they open a new window. I want to place them in the bookmarks or favorites nice and easy thats all. Please help

Sorry, Firefox just can't handle the "favorites" data in the manner in which it is stored by Windows, that data has to be "exported" in HTML format thru IE. '''bookmarks.html''' is the standard interchange format used by web browsers, every web browser I have ever used has had the ability to both import and export in that format.

  • I have lost the ability to upload files to a website. I have to transfer files from my computer to a web site and I get an error message "connection was reset" and the file will not upload. I try to transfer pictures and I get the same message.

    I have to upload a scanned receipt to a website and I get the error message "connection was reset". I have uploaded these receipt for two years and last week I have had to use another browser to complete this operation. I connect to the website and do the report I must do, but I can no longer upload to this site.

    Are you using any additional software for the uploading?
    Try using Firefox in [[safe mode]] when you upload. There is no need to make changes when you see the option. Disable all plugins whilst in safe mode. Then try the uploads.
    You mention [/questions/921993 elsethread] that it is a work site. Have you contacted your IT department. One possibility is that the site is not recognising Firefox 10.
    (One temporary workaround and troubleshhooting test would be to install Firefox3.6.27 [http://portableapps.com/news/2012-02-01_-_firefox_portable_3.6.26_released portable] as an additional browser and try that.)

  • Library Lost - Please HeIp I tried updating my old ipod & now all 10,000 songs in my library have an ! next to them and I get the error message "song " " could not be used because the original file could not be found" on every song I try to play

    Please help - this morning I tried updating one of my old ipods for my wife (this ipod hasn't been updated in 2-3 years).  I plugged it into my pc, it was recognized and the software updated.  I created a new playlist and tied to sync the ipod.  This ipod had never been used on this pc/itunes since the pc is only 2 years old.  When I tried to sync the ipod it stated that it would have to erase all the old songs on the ipod prior to syncing.  I clicked ok and it proceeded to wipe out the old ipod and sync the new playlist (~1000 songs).  When the sync was complete there were only 6 songs from the new playlist (all purchased this morning from itunes) on the ipod and to my horror all ~10,000 song on my pc in itunes now have a ! next to them.  Only my recent purchases from itunes do not.  When I click on a song with the ! I get the error message "the song " " could not be used because the original file could not be found."  How do I correct this issue - I am scared to hook my ipads or other ipods to my pc for fear of losing everything?!?!?  I spent 100s of hours burning the 10,000 songs from my cd collection and do not want to have to do it again. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • I have just bought a ipad and  cant get the email link to work that verifies my email address, any idea?

        I have just bought a ipad and the link that has been sent to my email acount will not work when i try to verify the email address, i have been sent the link 3 times by apple and none of them work. any Ideas?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home (bottom centre) and Sleep/Wake (top right edge) buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • Firefox is taking about 12-15mins to open then it opens several times and usually get the notice programme ending

    I thought i had too much saved on the computer so i decided to delete what i don't use on my computer but it didn't make any difference my computer is still taking far too long to open up the internet. This mainly happened after I decided to tick the box to upgrade windows each time.
    Would appreciate if you could advise what i should do to fix this.
    Many thanks

    All the same FF launching itself to safe mode is pretty odd, maybe someone could lone you a keyboard or buy a cheap one to try.

  • Can't delete old Firefox bookmarks in Safari

    Trying to simply bookmark a page in Safari ; get a window that says I must keep or delete old firefox bookmarks but it won't. And I can't save any bookmarks, and can't even drag onto the bookmarks bar. What should I do?
    Thanks

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved. If possible, restore it from a backup that predates the problem.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    I have a purchased version of Chess (from Apple) on my old iPod. Today I got a new Gen. 5 iPod. HOW can I get the chess app onto the new iPod, or do I have to purchase it again?

    Either sync it from your iTunes library or redownload it directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I have transferred my documents from iMac to macbook air, but when I try to read then I get the message "This document is too old.  Download it to version 09.  How do I do that?

    I have transferred my pages documents from my macbook pro to my macbook air, but I cannot read them as I get the message "This document is too old.  Download to version 09".  How do I do that?  I spent over an hour on the phone to a technician at Apple but he was no help.

    I have the same issue having replaced my 07 iMac for a new iMac, I was using iWork 08 (Pages) and all my Pages documents cannot be read by the latest iWork (Pages).  I get the same message and, although I have worked out that any that had been exported to Word format can be read and then re-saved, I cannot now open the purely Pages documents to export them to Word first.  I am amazed that the new Pages cannot read Pages 08 document but can continue to read Word ones!  So, how can I get my hands on Pages 09, so that I can re-save them in the current Pages format?
