Migrate/import (?) bookmarks from iBook to new iMac?

Is there some way to move my bookmarks from my old iBook to my new iMac? I ran the Migratiion Assistant, but that doesn't seem to have done the trick.
thanks,
Chris

If you're using Safari, go to File/Export Bookmarks... and save the file. Then, copy the file over to your new Mac, and use the File/Import Bookmarks... option.
You can clean up the mix of old/new Bookmarks by clicking on the Bookmark icon at the left end of your Bookmarks bar.
You should be able to use Target FireWire Mode (hold down T while booting your old Mac, connect to new Mac with FIreWire cable) to mount the old Mac on you new Mac's Desktop, then copy the file to your new Mac. Or,
Using a USB 2.0 Flash Drive to copy the file to the stick, plug it into your new Mac, copy the file from the flash drive, and again import it into Safari.

Import bookmarks from mozilla to new computer

Already transferred files & folders from old laptop to new one, but Firefox & associated bookmarks did not make the transfer. I've downloaded Firefox to the new laptop, but can't find any useful info on how to import the bookmarks.

I am sooo lost - info shown above might as well be Greek to me! I have tried to follow all the steps to get my info from old computer to new one. Where can I get more detail re the "profile folder". I created one as it stated, but I'm not able to find it again to do the pasting of old info into (ie where it states "open the new Firefos profile folder"). Been at this for hours! Please help...(note, I backed-up old info to flashdrive per one set of instructions). Also, so much backed-up, how do I know what I really need?
Thanks

Migration of CS5 from old to new IMac

This is all I get even after re installing from Adobe. Why?
One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop.

Hi
Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist is the file you want. Use a copy, just in case & do it with Safari quit.

It went to a new user Account.

This process will create a new user account on your Mac that contains the data migrated from the Windows PC. It will not merge the information with any existing user accounts on your Mac.
This article only applies to migrating from a Windows-based PC to a Mac. For assistance with performing a migration from one Mac to another, please see How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac.
Windows-specific file types, such as .exe files, are not transferred.
You will need to enter your password when you first use an account, such as when you use your transferred email account in the Mail application for the first time.

I may be misreading what you are trying to do but you don't import libraries via the import window. You use File->Import->Library..
If this doesn't resolve your problem post back with more detail of what you are doing and what is happening.

How do I copy my bookmarks from Safari on my iMac to my new iPhone 6?

How do I copy my bookmarks from Safari on my iMac to my new iPhone 6?

Hello!
Here is the manual. iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer - Apple Support
- Note that the manual presupposes you have Mountain Lion installed on your Mac, which is what it says in your message, so I'm assuming you have.
Also, I suppose you're not using iCloud. If you ARE using iCloud on your Mac and iPhone, I recommend using that for your bookmarks over USB-syncing. Here's the manual for that: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List - Apple Support
The relevant excerpt:
Turn iCloud Bookmarks off and back on:
Quit Safari.
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud.
If you are using OS X Mavericks or Mountain Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Safari. If you are using OS X Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Bookmarks.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
Select the checkbox next to Safari (or Bookmarks). Click Merge.
Close System Preferences.
Open Safari and test to see if the issue is resolved.

How to import bookmarks from an older PC to a new one on the home network

I have a new PC (Windows 7 and MS Office 2010) and as I was starting up the first day I saw a message that a network had been detected and asking whether I wished to import bookmarks from an earlier one.
I ignored it at the time as I had plenty of other things to set up, but would now like to import them PROVIDED that they would not be deleted from the old PC.
I cannot now find the link.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks

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.

Importing Bookmarks from an HTML Folder

I had to have a new hard drive install. The tech created a file call old back up which have all of my bookmarks in a HTML folder call favorites. Is there any way to import the whole folder into firefox 4.0 I can go in and do them one at a time, but I would rather just do the folder because it is already organize with subfolders.

The file that stores bookmarks may be locked or damaged which is preventing them from being deleted. Try deleting places.sqlite as shown on this site - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
Firefox will try to import bookmarks from a backup when you restart Firefox. If you do not want that to happen, in the profile folder where you found places.sqlite, there will be a folder called bookmarkbackups containing a few files with extension .json, delete all of those files. Also delete or rename bookmarks.html in the profile folder to prevent Firefox trying to import bookmarks from that file.

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

''the-edmeister [[#answer-668475|said]]''
<blockquote>
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?
beemarco,
Sorry that we missed your question over here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036975
I'll provide an answer for you in that thread.

'''Thank you for your reply. If my bookmarks etc. were to unknowingly be saved in another profile how could I find/access this profile? Many thanks in advance '''

File transfer from eMac to new iMac

I plan on transferring files from my eMac (10.4.11) to the new iMac with mountain Lion. Since the new Mac doesn't have a firewire port, here is my plan:
1) buy a 400 to 800 firewire adapter cable
2) buy a 800 firewire to thunderbolt cable
3) daisychain them and run migration assistant with the eMac in target disk mode
Will this work?

If your old iMac has Firewire, you can use the migration assistant that comes with the new iMac described in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773
If your old iMac has no Firewire, networking the two machines has differing instructions depending on which operating system is installed on the old iMac. What's the newest operating system you have installed on the iMac G3, if this is the case?
Speaking of operating systems, the iMac G5 does not come with Mac OS 9 preinstalled. Nor is it able to boot into Mac OS 9. However, on its installation disks is a program to "restore" Mac OS 9 so that it can be used in Mac OS X's "Classic" environment. The Classic environment allows most Mac OS 9 applications to work, though many drivers that previously worked under Mac OS 9 may not work within the Classic environment for specific peripherals, and graphics drivers for specific games. If you were only using Mac OS 9 previously, you may want to keep around the iMac G3 for those Mac OS 9 applications that don't work in Classic. One of these three articles explains how to load the Mac OS 9 system folder from the iMac G5 disks:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106294
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42929
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86775
I'm not sure which one is appropriate.
