Importing favourites folder as a whole from backup to Firefox

I have recently reloaded windows and wish to import my favourites folder that is in a backup folder on my C drive to Firefox but I seem unable to do this. Even as single files using the import/export facility under 'bookmarks'. Please could you help? Thank you.

Firefox has a built-in PDF file reader.

The issue with Adobe Reader isn't popularity or "poor user reviews", it is because there are multiple security problems with Adobe products which never seem to get fixed. Most web browsers have their own PDF flle readers these days, which allow the user to view those files from within the browser without needing a plugin.

  • How to import photos into Folders or Albums from backuped CD-R

    I need you advice.
    I made folders of photos in CD-R when I backuped. I would like to import them into each folders and album I made in i photo newly from the folders on CD-R. Even though I select "Add library" under "File" and drag& drop and copy from Finder window/ CD-R window, all are just imported into Library.
    Many thanks,
    Mac

    Hi Mac Ito,
    Here is something I typed out a couple of days ago for a response to another person. It might help you also.
    Importing Images from the hard drive, CD, or DVD
    To import a folder with subfolders of images maintaining the same organizational structure (or close to it):
    Drag the folder into iPhotos viewing area.
    A film roll will be created with each sub folders name. To view the rolls in the Library you need to first go to the menu bar and choose View>by film rolls.
    To make each roll into an Album, highlight the tile of the roll
    Go to File>new album from selection.
    You will now have an Album in the source column with the images from that roll. Do this for each roll if you want them to be an Album. This is your choice.
    Next, go to the menu bar and hit File>new folder
    Name this new folder with the year or whatever the name was of the Parent folder containing the subfolders that you had dragged into iPhotos viewing area.
    Next drag all the Albums into the respective new Parent folder you just made.
    Albums- collection of images from one roll or many rolls. The Albums will be listed in your source column when you make them. The albums only contain placeholders for the images that are still in the library. They are not duplicates.
    Rolls- rolls are created when you import folder of images. It will be given the name of the folder you are importing.
    Rolls are also created from each import from your camera. You are given the option to name the roll at import.
    Folder-a folder you create manually using the File>new folder command
    Folders can hold Albums, slideshows, books, another folder, etc.
    Hope this helps!

  • My Purchased folder doesn't restore from Backup disc

    I changed my iTunes music to an external drive (following the instructions listed by Jesse Hollington on Transferring your iTunes Library as suggested in a Support Discussion) but later decided I could live with it being back on my internal hard drive.
    I have since noticed that not all my purchases are in my Purchased folder.  Having  recently performed File>Library>Backup to Disc I did a Restore with the Ovewriting option ticked.  All my Playlists are correctly showing but only one Purchased file is in the folder.  When I play some of my 'Purchased' songs from playlists I had created they play correctly. When I Get Information on the tracks they show up as AAC Purchased songs.
    Can anyone assist as to why they do not show in to the Purchased folder?
    I am using OSX 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.3.1

    Well thanks for your help since you were the only one who commented, but I had already figured it out the next day I had posted this. There were two things wrong. 1: The sales person who went ahead and set-up my phone as a new phone was one thing and a recover had to be done. 2: My internet was down that night for some unknown reason while I was updating my phone, so that caused it to get stuck on that picture that's says "Connet to iTunes", but before that I was using my personal hotspot.
    Again, thanks for your help .

  • Can I import IE favourites from favourites folder

    I have had a problem that has corrupted IE10 and IE11 and they will no longer start. I tend to swap between IE and FF. I have an old set of bookmarks in FF but want to update it to those more recently used in IE. I have found them in a folder c:\users\stuart\favourites\(lots of subfolders), but if I import via FF using the "from a browser" option, it imports nothing. The folders I want are not html, they are folders containing url files.
    Is there some way to delete my old set of bookmarks from FF and import this up to date set fro those folders?
    Thanks

    Hmmm, I wonder whether Firefox won't import the Favourites folder because it already did it once or because you already have Bookmarks?
    To test whether Firefox can import them ''at all'', could you do a two-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    It will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash), but no themes, extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    When creating a new profile, I recommend using the default location suggested, and to avoid data loss, not re-using any existing folder. Before deleting unneeded profiles, I suggest making a backup first in case something were to go wrong.
    Now try to import your IE favorites. Does it work at all?
    ''If that works'', use the Export feature to create an HTML file consisting of the imported favorites. Save that in a convenient location such as your Documents folder. Then exit, use the profile manager to switch back to your normal profile, and Import that file you created. These articles describe the menus where you do that (although it sounds as though you already are familiar with them):
    * [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]] - from test profile
    * [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]] - into normal profile
    ''If Firefox won't pull IE favorites even into a new profile'', it's a problem if you can't run IE to generate an HTML export. There might be a utility that can do it, but absent a reliable recommendation, I think your best bet is to repair Windows enough to run IE (but this forum isn't the best place for Windows/IE support...).

  • How do I import my favourites folder in my effects bin to new fcp?

    Hi guys,
    I'm currently running FCP on my new MacBook Pro, and have successfully imported my keyboard layout and effects from the FCP on my old mac to my new one.
    However, my favourites folder in my effects bin is empty, and I can't work out how to copy the contents of my old folder (with filters with specific settings) across to the FCP on my new mac.
    I'm sure there's an easy way to do it, but I can't figure it out. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Oli

    As far as I can tell, your favorites are saved in the "Final Cut Pro 5 Prefs" file
    This is located in: Users/your name/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data.
    To try it, move that file from the old computer to the same place on the new one then open a new empty project in FCP. If your favorites are there, then the problem is solved. If not, you can trash the file mentioned above (a fresh one will be created next time you open FCP) and we have to look for another way to solve this.

  • 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.

  • Have over 86GB of music now showing as "other" and although it is still on my iPod it is not playable.  Most is from imported CDs. I do have a backup file on an external hard drive. How can I fix this?

    Have over 86GB of music now showing as "other" and although it is still on my iPod it is not playable.  Most is from imported CDs. I do have a backup file on an external hard drive. How can I fix this?

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

    If you are using a standalone version of Lightroom, you may have updated with the CC-licensed update. That will not work. If this is your situation then it will be necessary for you to uninstall Lightroom and then install an update from a different website. Assuming that you are using Lightroom 5, this is where you need to download from:
    Product updates
    After you make the change you will be able to continue from where you left off. The switchover does not affect your images or your catalog.
