Recently reformatted PC. Tried to import HTML bookmarks, but nothing happens. Tried other browsers, still does not work. How can I fix this?

Before reformatting my PC, I exported all my bookmarks via HTML file. I reformatted, installed Firefox, then tried to proceed with importing all my bookmarks. I go to the import function and choose the HTML bookmarks file and nothing happens at all. I tried using other browsers to import, but nothing happens. I am not sure how to fix this.
I thought maybe I could transfer the HTML file into a JSON file, but I couldn't find a way to do so, even after renaming the file extensions. Could the HTML file be possibly be corrupted? I'm out of ideas on how to import my bookmarks!
I really need to fix this, please help!

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension:
* .html for a HTML backup
* .json for a JSON backup
You can check the type via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.
A JSON backup starts with: <b><nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki></b><br />
An HTML backup starts with: <b><nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki></b>
Add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension if the current file extension is hidden or if it is otherwise not working.<br />
Verify the file type in the Properties via the right-click context menu to make sure that the change has been successful.

  • My iTunes was working fine, all my CDs would import fully and quickly. Now they are importing slowly and when the CDs get to the last track they don't import and the CD drive just keeps spinning without doing anything! How can I fix this?

    I don't want to have to restart or reinstall my iTunes again as I'll have to redo all my playlists etc

    Likely that CD then. Check visually for damage, blemishes, etc., not that there's anything you can really do about those other than return the CD.
    The drive sits there and spins because it is trying to re-read the CD.  iTunes has error correction which is contributing to all this re-reading, I believe, and you may be able to disable that in preferences if you aren't picky about the result.
    You can also try other rippers such as Max or XLD.  I know those have configurable error correction.  I like XLD but it is slightly tricky to use until you find that for some reason the author has put all settings under preferences, not just the set once and forget ones.

    If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

  • After I import pictures, iPhoto no longer gives me the option to delete them. How can I fix this?

    Normally when you're finished uploading a selection of pictures to iPhoto, a screen pops up asking if you want to delete the recent import of pictures [from the SD card] but my iPhoto is no longer asking me. How can I fix this? Or is there another way of deleting a selection of pictures from my SD card with out individually deleting them on my camera or formatting the SD card.
    Thanks so much for your help!

    Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
    1. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
    2. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
    3. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.

  • My iphone5 camera keeps freezing and turning black and purple and becomes fuzzy. I tried to reset it a few times but it didn't work. how can i fix this?

    How can i fix my camera that keeps freezinf and turning black or purple? I have already tried reset multiple times and it didnt work.

    Hello there mmon11,
    If by reset you mean this process from iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting from here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then alright thats one step down. I would recommend this article as well, specifically sections 1, 3, and 5 which will resolve it if the issue is due to software.
    iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
    Here is section 1 to get you started.
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.

  • After effects does not import video when I direct link from premiere pro.  Why not? how do i fix this?

    I wanted to add some motion tracked text elements into a clip of a interview in my premiere pro cc timeline. I left clicked on the clips that i wanted to "replace with after effects composition".. so i clicked it to and it opens a new comp in after effects.. Only there is no video opened in the comp.. Theres nothing there. I cant figure out why it doesnt bring the video in? Its not in my project panel in ae.. and ive tried direct link by left clicking the clip and going through the menu.. Tried closing AE and then doing direct link. Tried opening AE first and then doing it.. Not working no matter how i try it.  Whats the fix?
    Im using all CC products. Premiere is up to date, after effects is not. I will be updating it to see if that fixes the problem. As soon as I do. I will post a comment as to whether it fixed it or not. In the meantime i could use some help!

  • My applications will not open, how can I fix this. I recently bought a new lap top download iTunes and have been using it now, any suggestions?

    My iPhone 4 will not open my purchased apps, anyone know what is going on? I just recently bought a new laptop and downloaded iTunes onto and synced my phone. I was also talking on my phone and it died, then I charged it and that is when the apps would no longer open. My mail, and iPod and safari work just not the purchased apps, if anyone know please write back!:)

    Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.

  • I recently moved from the US to Sweden and all my contacts are saved with their international country code prefixes. I keep getting text message errors when I send a text, but the contact info is stored correctly for each. How can I fix this?

    I receive an error message that adds the country code again. I tried it with no country code and the area code included but I still receive an error message. It only does it sometimes and not to all Sweden contacts. There is no obvious reason why it does it to some but not others. Does any know what the problem is and how to fix it? Thank you!

    Only other thing I can suggest is to reset your phone. This won't touch any data or settings:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

    Updated to Mavericks.
    Trying to install my Canon LBP 2900. Mac book pro early 2011. I followed Klaus's instructions, restarting after each step. I can add the printer, the capt 3.66 Uk shows and installs.
    Also added the Lion patch: Library-printers-canon-cupscapt-profile.
    When I try to print the print status icon shows then closes. No documents show in queue. 
    Thanks!

    Are you running 10.9.4? If not, try running the combo update.

    I have a program called commission killer that I have downloaded and I can't open it because it says compileBot has stopped working.

I want to be able to use this program and yet I don't know what to do to correct this. I have deleted it closed the firewall and the security program AVG but that didn't work either when I redownloaded the program. Any suggestions>?
