My laptop died, but the hard drive is ok. How do I retrieve or backup my bookmarks, settings, passwords?

I bought an external case for the hard drive and I can access it from another computer, but I don't know which files or how to back it up because Mozilla doesn't open like it did on my laptop. H E L P!!!

Details of the files to copy are shown here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

  • I had all my iTunes music backed up onto a hard drive; but the hard drive was stolen along with all the files I backed up onto it. However, the songs I had in iTunes still show up (I just can't play them.) Would it let me get them back?

    I had all my iTunes music backed up onto a hard drive; but the hard drive was stolen along with all the files I backed up onto it. However, the songs I had in iTunes still show up (I just can't play them.) If I were to use iCloud, would it still take those songs and let me listen to them (and maybe re-download them?) Or am I out of luck?

    Open iTunes, go to the iTunes Store, and then go to Purchased on the right hand side under Music Quick Links.
    You can re-download all the songs, apps, or books you have previously purchased.
    I'm not sure if this is a requirement, but just in case, make sure you download the latest version of iTunes (v10.3) too.

  • My mac mini hard drive is failing. I am no longer under warranty. Do you know how much it cost to have Apple replace the hard drive? or How I can replace it myself?

  • I am trying to erase and reformat my old iMac, it has a 1Tb hard drive in it.  Error pops up and I noticed it is saying that the hard drive is 8Tb.How do I correct this?

    Iam trying to erase and reformat my old iMac, it has a 1Tb hard drive in it.  Error pops up and I noticed it is saying that the hard drive is 8Tb.How do I correct this?

    I found another forum that had a solution.  Instead of using the recovery discs that came with the mac, use snow leopard to perform the actions that I needed to do.  It worked.  No input/output error and the software recognized the 1Tb hard drive.

  • My time capsule has no wifi or lights on but the hard drive is running

    CCan any one help please? My time capsule has stopped working, there are no lights being displayed on the unit and there is no wifi output, but I can hear the hard drive running.

    Check on the bottom for the model number.. A1409.
    This is a standard failure for this model.. you are experiencing the wonders of TC build quality.
    If at all possible get apple to replace it. I generally cannot repair this model.. the issue is faulty board.. but you can have a go.. if warranty / applecare is impossible.

  • I have an iMac G5, and the screen goes to sleep as it should, but the hard drive only does this manually.  How can I fix this?

    I just want my computer to go to sleep on it's own, as the hard drive will spin for days unless I manually select "sleep" from the menu.  The screen automatically does go to sleep at the preset 7 minute mark though, and ideas for a fix?

    Nevermind,  I found this answer, and to my total surprise, it worked!!  I opened activity monitor, and all kinds of junk was running, so I closed a lot of stuff out, and now, my iMac goes to sleep like a good little computer!  Here's the answer in case this question comes up in a search:

    If you have any applications running that can keep your iMac from sleeping. You can check in user(you)/application/utilities/Activity monitor. Just open Activity Monitor and you can see what's running. Just my 2 cents but if you check "put hard disks to sleep" in energy saver and have your screen turn off after 15 minutes since you used it. IMO that's a better way to go since you can schedule all the background things to happen when you don't need you Mac. Such as software update, spotlight indexing, idisk syncing, ect. I hope this helps, good luck.

  • HT1338 My macbook pro(2010) is not reading the hard drive, but the hard drive works through the USB?

    Hi everyone,
         My Macbook pro(2010) is not reading the internal Hard Drive. At first I thought it to be a hard drive gone bad, so i bought a new hard drive. My macbook is still not reading the Hard Drive. I am able to use the original hard drive through a external(USB) connection. Also, when the macbook turns, there is a redelling sound. Can anyone offer me any suggestions to what the problem might be?   

    It sounds like the internal cable connecting the HDD to the logic board is improperly connected or faulty.  An appointment at an Apple genius bar might be a good option.  The repair should not be too expensive.
    Ciao.

  • Hard Drive crashed. How do I retrieve my old iPhoto files from the external hard drive I had used to backup?

    My computer was logged in using my Apple ID.  I was out of town when my hard drive crashed, so my wife took it in to get replaced.  When doing so the person at the Apple store helping her had her create a new Apple ID to use with the computer.  Now, when I open time machine I don't see anything from before this hard drive crashed.  How do I get access to my old photos from iPhoto that should have been backed up on the external hard drive?

    Sorry I am unclear where the backup is located.. On a time capsule??
    Recovery of iphoto library you need to use pondini.

    Thanks in advance.

  • My old iMac broke so i got a new hard drive installed. How can i retrieve my old purchased items?

    hiya
    got a new hard drive installed and couldn't retreive anything off my old hard drive
    can i get my old purchased items from itunes
    thanks

    Hi hopscotch,
    Log into the iTunes store and do a search to find your previously purchased items. Click the "Buy" button, and put in the same iTunes id and password that you originally used to purchase. A dialogue box will come up indicating that you have already purchased this item and do you want to download it again for free....
    Say yes, and it will be re-downloaded to your Mac.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Upgrade everything BUT the hard drive? [Does this work?]

    Is it possible to take the (320G 7200RPM Hitachi SATA laptop) drive out of my white 13" MacBook (2.4GHz Core 2 Duo) and put in into a new 13" Aluminum MacBook Pro and have it boot up and have the same software I'm used to now? It feels like it ought to work (I'm already running 10.6.1), but I thought someone might know for sure.
    Thanks!

    I would advise you not to do that. The two computers are of different generations and have different hardware. The OS install on your white MacBook will have drivers specific to that machine, so if you put the drive into the new MacBook Pro, you are likely to have kernel panics and general instability (if it even boots at all).
    If you get the new MacBook Pro, your best bet would be to use the migration assistant that is available when setting up the new computer, which will pull in your settings/apps/data from your white MacBook.

  • 10.6.7, hardware failure but the hard drive is intact.  I can access the hard drive via Linux.  Need to get mail from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004.

    I need to know a couple of things, but y'all may not have all the answers I need.
    First, I need to know how to retrieve the mail files from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004.  I don't know if this is a valid asusmption, but in my experience with Windows, I know that Outlook keeps everything in a single monolithic .PST file.  Is this the case with either Mail.app or with Entourage?
    Second, I need to know how to access said mail files in a Linux mail app.  The mail from Mail.app is more important than that from Entourage, so it has to take priority.  Will I need some sort of converter program, or is there enough similarity between Mail.app and one of the Linux mail applications that I can simply import it?  (BTW, I'm running Ubuntu Linux 11.04 on my Linux netbook. I wish there was some way I could get Snow Leopard on here.)
    Any advice on any of this problem will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

    WIth your other problem, just borrow a Mac temporariy, drag a enclosure to a Apple Store and use one of theirs, they don't mind as they have Deep Freeze installed on all their machines so changes don't stick upon rebooting.

  • My 2008 MacBook Pro logic board died and I'm pulling the hard drive out.  What Apple computers have room for a 2nd 2 inch hard drive?

    The logic board on my 2008 MacBook Pro died.  But the hard drive is fine.  What Apple computer has room for me to insert my old drive as a 2nd hard drive?

    You can add it to any unibody MacBook Pro in the optical drive bay, if you can get along without an optical drive and you aren't worried about voiding the warranty (or if the machine you buy isn't under warranty). You can't add it to a Macbook Air, Mac Mini, or iMac, but you can easily put it into a Mac Pro. And of course with any Mac you can put it into an external enclosure and use it as an external drive.
    See my second post in this thread for a couple of enclosure recommendations:

  • I was given the wrong macbook when I gave mine in for repair.  I want to complain.  Also, they wiped ALL my data off the hard drive.  I want to complain to someone in authority.  How?

    I am extremely disappointed and angry with Apple service.  I am a writer and booked three weeks in Spain so that I could finish my book.  On the second day my laptop cut out on me asI was working on it, so I took it to Goldenmack in Cadiz.  Not only was I given someone else's macbook when I went back to collect it, but then when I returned to the UK, the Apple shop in Brighton managed to delete ALL my data from the hard drive because I was unlucky enough to get a trainee on her first day.  I have since learned she should not have deleted my data without even running a diagnostic.  She told me she was going to 'restore' the drive.  I took this to mean she was going to restore my work.  But no!  She erased the lot.
    I complained and eventually was put in touch with a supervisor, who I was told  had authority to resolve the issue. She said she would get the shop to phone me.  That was ten days ago and I'm still waiting. 
    Ok so there's nothing I can do now to get back the three chapters of my book that I have lost and didn't back up, but the  hard drive on this laptop is still faulty.  I try to back up my work every time I use the machine but as soon as I attach an external drive, the whole thing shuts down. I can't use it any more as I can't risk losing any more work.    This laptop is only just over a year old and this is just not acceptable, especially since I have really looked after it. 
    This is an appalling service I have encountered from Apple, and I am not going to ignore it.  I have contacted the young chap whose laptop I was erroneously given, and the repair of which I paid for! (although I did eventually get a refund),  to ask him if he had been given mine as well.  He said he had been completely unaware that his laptop had been given to me and he is furious as he had loads of "sensitive material" on it."  I have no idea in whose hands my laptop has been either, or indeed what damage it sustained while it was supposed to be in for repair.
