New Sync only grabs new bookmarks

I recently got a new laptop and wanted to sync my Firefox install on there. So I then discovered the implementation of the new Sync and had to migrate over to that, which seemed to go fine. Quickly, all my addons and themes synced, but never my bookmarks, and only about 2 website per month from Jan-Apr, for some reason. But the main thing I care about is the bookmarks. It will only sync when I manually add a completely new bookmark to the original machine, but I won't grab all the old ones that are just sitting there in the same place. Is there a way to force a full sync of my bookmarks? Or even a way to manually carry over my bookmarks to the new machine using a USB drive?

Hi TheMimir,
If you swipe to the right on a new tab on the Android device and you see Desktop and Mobile Bookmarks, are the old ones not there?
You can back up and restore with json files in the Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks menu. But it is also possible to export html and import if this is absolutely necessary.

  • Firefox Sync does not update automatically when I add a new bookmark.

    I use one desktop and one notebook at the same time. Firefox Sync does not update bookmarks between my desktop and notebook when I add a new bookmark from one device or the other. Firefox Sync only updates when I manually sync my data from each device. When I used Google Chrome, the Sync feature updated my bookmarks almost instantly. Is there any way I can make Firefox automatically sync whenever I update my bookmark?

    Your imported bookmarks from IE should all be in one folder named "From Internet Explorer". The imported Bookmarks are kept separate for easier identification by the user. You can move them to other folders outside of that folder if you wish; you can also delete any duplicates that you may have placed into Firefox Bookmarks/folders before the import.

  • When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer"  most of which are years old and many are recurring events.  I'm afraid to proceed

    When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer"  most of which are years old and many are recurring events.  I'm afraid to proceed with sync. 

    Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
    For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
    If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4?

    Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4? Or do I have to set up my iPhone 5 by using my iPhone 4 backup (I'd rather not)?

    Contacts are not stored in a backup, so a restore will not bring them in.  Contacts, along with all the other Apple databases (log into icloud.com with a browser and look at the various pages - this is what I call the Apple databases) are contained in their own locations on the servers.  You should be able to take a new device, go to Settings>iCloud, log in to the icloud account, then turn on the services (e.g. contacts) you want to sync.  They will then be synced to the device.  That has nothing to do with a restore and with the old iphone 4.  As for apps, their listing and locations on the screens are stored in a backup.  If you don't restore, then go to the itunes app store, look under Purchased Apps and download them again.

    I sync my iphone with my office computer, but what I really would like to do is syncing only the calendars (because my secretary uses them to set up new apppointments), but syncing all the rest on my home computer. Is it possible without losing apps or music?

    Although not recommended, yes.
    Disable automatic syncing when the iPhone is connected with iTunes on each computer.
    The only item you will have selected for syncing with iTunes on your computer at work will be Calendars, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Nothing else will be selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer at work. You will get a warning message that your iPhone is associated with another iTunes library on a different computer which you can ignore when syncing calendars/calendar events only with iTunes on your computer at work.

  • I can not pin bookmarks to 2 new toolbars that I created & it will not show those toolbars in the toolbar menu, how can I get these to show up in the toolbar menu to allow me to pin bookmarks to them it is only showing the bookmark toolbar its full.

    I have tried to drag and drop the bkmks to the TB and it will not allow that either. Neither show up in the menu when I am adding a bkmk.

    See Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6937
    You can't place bookmarks on a new toolbar. You can only place a bookmark on the toolbar that has the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on it.

  • My PC Windows 7 harddrive crashed.  I have a new harddrive.  But i lost all my CD's that i had burned onto iTunes.  They are all still on my iPhone 4s, but when i sync, only the purchased songs will import.  Is there anyway to retrieve them

    My PC Windows 7 hard drive crashed.  I have a new hard drive.  But i lost all my CD's that i had burned onto iTunes.  They are all still on my iPhone 4s, but when i sync, only the purchased songs will import.  Is there anyway to retrieve them?  Thanks!

    Restore your library from your most recent backup (you do keep regular backups, I hope).  If the hard drive is in any way salvageable it may be possible to mount it in an external enclosure, connect it to your PC, and retrieve data from it even if it is not functioning as a primary OS drive (if you don't have the kit necessary to do this, your local PC repair shop may be able to help).  Failing that, you can always recreate your library by re-importing your CDs.

  • Sync only new music from itunes library

    Does anyone know how to sync only NEW music from the itunes library to the iphone? I am following the basic help instructions and if I select certain songs, albums, playlists, etc. then it syncs ONLY those that I check. i.e. none of the music that was already on the iphone is there anymore. It's almost as if every time I sync the iphone I have to check ALL music that I want to be sync'd. And that's including music that was already on the iphone. How do I sync ONLY NEW songs from my itunes library, without losing what's on it beforehand?

    i want to know if i can simply 8 songs to my iphone without changing the status of the existing songs on the phone.
    Yes, which I've already answered, but I guess I haven't provided the answer in a clear enough manner.
    How are you adding songs to your iPhone now?
    Are you syncing all songs and playlists or selected playlists?
    Do you have sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences?
    These are the settings I'm using:
    Sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab for my iPhone sync preferences.
    Under the Music tab for my iPhone sync preferences, I have sync selected playlists selected.
    I created a playlist with iTunes named iPhone. I have my iPhone playlist selected to be synced or transferred to my iPhone - along with a few other playlists.
    I add the songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone playlist that I want available on my iPhone.
    If I want to add 10 additional songs to my iPhone that are not currently on my iPhone, I add the 10 songs to the iPhone playlist. When syncing, the 10 new songs added to the iPhone playlist are transferred to my iPhone only with no songs removed from my iPhone. If I want to remove 10 songs from my iPhone, I remove the 10 songs from the iPhone playlist and then sync. The 10 songs removed from the iPhone playlist are the removed from my iPhone with no other changes - unless I add new songs to the playlist and remove others at the same time before syncing. The songs added to the playlist are transferred to my iPhone and the songs removed from the playlist are removed from my iPhone only when syncing. No other songs already on my iPhone are touched/removed with this process - unless I make a change to my iPhone playlist.

    Did you already try to reset the sync history?
    If you find that some of your data syncs to your device but you see an unexpected number of changes or modifications, you may need to reset your sync history. This causes iTunes to prompt to Merge or Replace information on the device when you next attempt to sync your information. To reset your Sync History:
    Open iTunes.
    From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Devices tab.
    Click the Reset Sync History button.

  • Can only access extensive bookmarks list on old computer, not on new Mac or Dell netbook

    I have a very old iMac that I have been using for 10 years. I recently got the most recent version of Apple's Mac Mini, which I of course use Firefox on, and I also use Firefox on my Dell Netbook. On the old iMac is a quite extensive list of bookmarks that I have no idea how to port to either the netbook or the new Mac Mini. The troubleshooting ideas I've seen don't really address my problem. Can anyone give me very simply-stated instructions on how to sync up all my bookmarks?

    Does that old iMac have a Firefox 2.0.0.x version installed?
    If that is the case then you need to copy the file bookmarks.html to the new computer and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

  • New bookmarks lost whenever Firefox restarts

    I've been having bookmark problems ever since I started using Firefox 4. What happens is that I add or update my bookmarks, but after a reboot or a Firefox restart, my new bookmarks are not saved. I've tried xmarks, but something always changed the bookmarks to an older version. I've tried Firefox sync and the result was the same.
    Then I found this fix on Mozilla:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Bookmarks%20not%20saved
    I followed the instructions but Firefox always chooses an older version of my bookmarks. The only thing I can do now is to export my latest bookmarks and import them whenever I have to restart Firefox. This problem also occurs on my work computer (iMac).
    I'm at my wit's end with this bookmark problem. Could anybody help me?

    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
