Is it possible to import bookmarks from your desktop to your mobile device

I would like to copy the bookmarks on my desktop to my galaxy s4

I had a similar problem and tried Sync. It didn't help much. So I experimented.
This works pc to phone, I don't know the other direction.
1. On your desktop computer save all your bookmarks as an HTML file.
2. Open the HTML file in any editor that supports links (even MS Word).
3. Scroll through and delete everything you don't want.
4. If you want to add text do so.
5. Save the result as an HTML file.
6. Use whatever method you have to move or copy the file to your phone.
7. Select the file and choose to open with Firefox.
Now all your links are available, sectioned off as you desire, can be activated as links, and then saved as regular bookmarks if you wish.
A moderate pain in the butt, but that's what we get when we expect a small minimalist slab of metal to act like a BIG computer.

    Can you give me a step by step procedure?

  • Is it possible to import songs from your ipod to itunes?

    Somehow, my itunes got screwed up on my pc. So, I am missing about 100 songs. The songs are all on my ipod because I haven't synced them in a while. Is it possible to import the songs from my ipod into itunes? If so, how do I do it?
    To make matters more complicated, my itunes now says that the ipod is synced to a different itunes, so if I sync them up, the songs on the ipod will be replaced by the songs on itunes (causing me to lose those 100 songs). Can anyone please help me?

    If you're using iTunes 7, you can copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly. You will have to prevent automatic synchronization. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

  • Is it possible to import tunes from your IPOD to your Mac?

    I thought I had a good back up copy of my music & I was wrong. I had to restore my MBP to factory so now my music only resides on my Ipod. Is it possible to import it back into my Itunes library from the Ipod?

    I suppose I could cut/paste the whole link since you don't seem to have read it, but the pertinent part of the link starts at this point.
    "Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use
    The first thing you need to do is make sure have configured your iPod to enable disk use. To do this:
    Open iTunes on your old computer.
    Connect your iPod to your old computer and wait for it to appear in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source pane under the Devices section to display your iPod preferences in the main library window.
    Click the Summary tab in the main iTunes window.
    Click the Manually manage music button. Changing from automatic updating to manual puts a check mark by Enable disk use. A message says"
    Continue with the rest of the instructions after this point.
    As a suggestion for future posts, it's always better to start your own topic rather than disrupting someone else's topic. It's more courteous to the original poster, & it can become very confusing to try to troubleshoot with several people in the same thread who may have similar but actually unrelated issues. Thanks!

  • Please tell me it's possible to download MP3 to your mobile device.

    Hello,
    I'm simply trying to offer a downloadable podcast (MP3) through our Saba LMS for computer and mobile device.
    So far, PC isn't a problem to download, but how can my user download the MP3 using their mobile device? I can only think that it has to be emailed to them, then accessed through their mail app and saved it there. I mean, how do you download anything w/ a phone/tablet? I couldn't if I was using a browser app (Safari, etc.) on my iPhone.
    Does anyone ever need to do this? I'm sorry maybe it isn't possible at all to download MP3 from an LMS (or even public URL) to your phone, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. Thank you in advance.

    Hmmm, wondering if you choose the right forum. Do you use Captivate, because this is a Captivate forum,

  • Can firefox import bookmarks from my desktop to my laptop?

    I would like to import my desktop bookmarks to my laptop. Both running Firefox an OS 10.4.11. Can this be done?

    BTW:
    *Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
    *Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • Is there any way to organize bookmarks into folders? Is there a way to import bookmarks from another (default) browser (besides the native browser or Chrome) ?

    I have quite a few bookmarks in my current default browser (CM Browser) and don't relish the thought of manually recreating them all. I also want to keep them organized by categories. The folder system is very helpful.

    The permission model for Android does not allow other apps access to their settings. Chrome and the Android stock browser have some special access rules that allow other apps to see the bookmarks. So it is only possible to import bookmarks from Chrome or the stock Android browser.
    Bookmark management can be done in desktop Firefox via Firefox Sync. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

  • How do I Import Bookmarks from one profile to another ? I have tried searching online but I can find no "bookmarksbackups" folder and no "places.sqlite" Thanks

    Hi,
    I was wondering how to Import Bookmarks from an old firefox profile to a new one ? My laptop stopped working but I managed to copy my firefox data from the mozilla appdata folder. I want to now copy my old bookmarks to my new firefox profile on my new laptop. I have tried searching online for guidance but most methods mention a "bookmarksbackups" folder and a "places.sqlite" file. However, I can find no "bookmarksbackups" folder and no "places.sqlite" file. Among the files in profile I am trying to import FROM are a "bookmarks" html file(which seems to only contain the default firefox bookmarks) as well as "places.sqlite-shm" and "places.sqlite-wal" files. Although, the NEW profile on my new laptop I am trying to import TO DOES have a "bookmarksbackups" folder and a "places.sqlite" file.
    I would be most grateful for any help received. Many thanks in advance for your help and for your time

    f458italia,
    Per your screenshot - you don't have the /bookmarksbackup/ folder nor the places.sqlite file - your bookmarks don't exist in that old Profile. ''cor-el mentioned another file that is missing, so that Profile wouldn't have been operational.''
    Are you sure that you don't have another Profile for that user account?

  • I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

    I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
    Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

    Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
    Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

  • I want to import bookmarks from Safari but there is no import choice in the file menu

    my firefox does not have the option to import my bookmarks, even though in Help it says it does. What do I do?

    Exporting bookmarks from Safari
    Go to File->Export Bookmarks. Safari saves your bookmarks in an HTML file. Save the HTML file to the Desktop or any other location of your choice.
    Importing bookmarks to Firefox
    Go to Bookmarks->Show all bookmarks. This will open up the Bookmarks Library.
    Click Import and Backup...
    Select Import Bookmarks from HTML.. from drop down menu.
    Locate your HTML file exported from Safari.
    You can use Safari Bookmark Exporter to export bookmarks to an HTML file,if exporting to the HTML file is not supported by Safari.

    I want to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer 8, but the import link under file in Firefox is ghosted out and doesn't allow me access. How can I access the Firefox import function?

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