My new computer has backed up Firefox bookmark files from my old computer on the new computer's desktop, but I can't open them ; also, how do I get this desktop file into firefox's bookmark list?

My old Vista computer died, but I had backup of my old Firefox .json bookmark files and installed this folder on my new window's 7 computer's desktop. But I can't seem to open these files (windows cant find a program to open them with, and I don't seem to have .json files in my file association list) or import them into the new computer's Firefox bookmarks list.

That's great, matthungo, I'm glad it worked and you've got your Bookmarks back. Wishing you and yours a wonderful and blessed Holiday season as well!

    You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

  • I have transferres Adobe programs from my old Mac Book to my new Mac Book Pro, but I can´t open the programs!?

    I have transferres Adobe programs from my old Mac Book to my new Mac Book Pro, but I can´t open the programs!?

    Adobe programs don't do well with migration. You should uninstall them, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and reinstall from the original installers, but you also need to be aware that many older programs are not supported on newer versions of OSX so this may not go smoothly.

  • HT1338 I just updated my system to 10.6.8.  New computer just out of the box, but I wanted to download Numbers from the App store and it says I need 10.7.4.  How do I get this update?

    I have a new IMac, purchased from my Dad that he never used.  I just did the latest update to 10.6.8.  I wanted to get "Numbers" on the computer from the App Store but it says I need 10.7.4.   How do I get this?  Everytime I try update it goes to 10.6.8.  I am new to Apple and struggling a bit.

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, you must install the DVD version of iWork. If you previously got a compatible version of Numbers from the Mac App Store, go to its home page and click on Support under Quick Links.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, try purchasing Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store. If you get told that it's incompatible, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.
    If upgrading to 10.7 or 10.8 requires any other upgrades or replacements(they both require at least 2GB RAM and don't support PowerPC-only software such as Office 2004), it may be cheaper to buy and install the DVD version of iWork even if your computer can be upgraded to use the Mac App Store version.

  • I updated my iPod touch 4g to ios 5, i kept all of my apps but lost my progress on them. How do i get my progress back?

    I updated my iPod touch 4g to ios 5, i kept all of my apps but lost my progress on them. How can i, if possible, get my progress back?

    You need to restore from backup. The backup contains app data like game progress.  Make sure that autosyncing is turned off otherwise whe yu connect iTunes will make a back that does not contain the data.  To to that go to iTunes>Preferneces>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods....syncing. 
    Yu can alsolook at the date/time of the backup on that screen and see if it might contain the data.

  • I installed 5.0.1 version and I can't find the Firefox orange button. Previously I added in this button many web sites. I hope I didn't lose them. How may I get this orange Firefox button back?

    I installed the new (5.0.1) Firefox version to my laptop with Windows Vista and I can't find any trace of the Orange Firefox Button in the left upper corner. I need this button for normal exploitation of Firefox. And, formerly, I added plenty of websites to former version of Firefox (to orange button of this former version). Tell me please: 1. How may I have this orange button in my Firefox? 2. How to get back those websites written in former Orange Firefox Button?

    This problem has been done before. Break this down into something simpler. You don't need an applet. Just do it on the command line. You don't need a database. Just create a flat file if you need some persistent data. Do the simple thing first, then build out from there.

  • Firefox keeps making me save files from my school Blackboard, and I don't want to save them, I just want to open them. How do I do this?

    Every other computer just asks "would you like to save this or open it?" But on mine, it doesn't ask, it just takes you to someplace you can save it. I'm sure this is a really simple fix, but I can't figure it out! Thanks.

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers (the steps half-way down that page should give you a reset link)
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset - which is likely to be by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account.

  • When clicking loading FireFox the profiles box comes up but it blank, no profiles are loading, how do I get profile manager to load the profiles?

    Profile manager loads up but the window is now blank. I have checked in the profiles folder and the profiles exist but I can not get them to load. What do I need to do to make profile manager load the profiles? Thanks.

    Is this a new installation of Firefox you're running for the first time, or have you been running Firefox for a while?
    Are you using the "built in" profile manager (firefox.exe /profilemanager) or the new "stand alone" profile manager?
    If you look in this folder:
    C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox
    do you have a file named profiles.ini? It's a text file that usually has information for each of the profile folders in the Profiles subdirectory.

  • I Thought with the new I phone 6 plus Siri will tell you what your reminder is when you arrive at the location . I have tried and it doesnt work. Also how Do i get better use out of my staorage and back up to the cloud

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"
