Sync/Copy IE bookmarks to another computer

Hi,
I have iTunes installed at home and have hundreds of IE bookmarks. These are sync'd to my iPhone and I see them when using Safari.
It would be useful to have these available on my work PC, so I installed iTunes at work. I understood iTunes sync'd bookmarks automatically between computers by default? Is this right?
Is it possible to sync or copy my bookmarks from my iPhone to work PC?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Yorkie66
You could do it that way to sync the bookmarks. You could also use iCloud to do all the syncing for you without having to plug in your iPhone to sync. Check out the articles below for more information on how to get your bookmarks to your work computer.

Retreive my bookmarks onto another computer

my previous computer has malfunctioned and no longer works. I had many bookmarks on that computer, i do know that i had a sync account set up, so i do believe it is possible to retrieve my bookmarks onto another computer, if i were to go about doing this, how should i start?

Do you have a backup copy of that sync setup?
Especially the Sync key is needed because without that key your data on the Sync server is lost for ever.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone. Authorize your computer for your itunes account
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars. So do NOT sync yet. This is why a backup copy is so important.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data. Choose it.
If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync. They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

HT1727 My old computer died on me with no warning signs. I didn't know or need to copy my music to another computer. I would like to know how to get the music that I bought onto my new computer without having to buy it all again.

My old computer died on me with no warning signs. I didn't know or need to copy my music to another computer. I would like to know how to get the music that I bought onto my new computer without having to buy it all again. I just want to be able to get all of my music that I bought on itunes onto my computer. Right now the money ive spent is just gone and I have no music to show for it.

Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

Contacts cannot be synced at this time because another computer is currentl

Just got to say, mobile me is incredibly fragile. Apple should rename the service mobile beta.
I have two problems,
1) "Contacts cannot be synced at this time because another computer is currently syncing this data". I have two PCs and made some changes to the adress book. Now I get this error every fifteen minutes on my work PC. This is incredibly annoying. I am guessing that there is a dialog box displayed on my home PC warning that more than 5% of my data has changed and do I want to continue.
Apple, please take this dialog box out of the Sync transaction operation otherwise it looks the entire process for all clients, if a user cannot access their PC at that moment to respond to the dialog.
2) I created a new Address book Group on the server/cloud and populated it with several addresses. On my iPhone the group is shown but it is empty. Is this possibly related to the problem (1)?.
Anybody have any suggestions? Is my idea about the cause correct?

You could try again later but usually, that message means that the server detected a jailbroken device. Has your iPad been hacked or jailbroken? Or, has your computer been used with a hacked or jailbroken device?

I have different bookmarks that I want to keep on each computer, will sync delete the bookmarks on one computer and overwrite the bookmarks from the other computer in their place

I have not used sync yet, but I have the gut feeling there is going to be a problem if I do. I have different bookmarks that I want to keep on each computer. Will sync delete the bookmarks on one computer and overwrite the bookmarks from the other computer in their place? So I'm guessing it will erase the bookmarks on the second computer that you set up to sync. Is there a way to merge the bookmarks from each computer into one bookmark library that contains all the bookmarks from both computers, so that I don't lose any bookmarks by syncing?

Hi,
Firefox Sync works by merging all the info in all your computers. It doesn't replace anything. So if you have information A in one device and information B in other device, after setting up Sync you will have information A+B in both devices.
I hope this clarifies the situation.

I was wondering if I import my bookmarks from another computer will this overwrite the bookmarks I already have?

I was wondering if I import bookmarks from another computer will they overwrite bookmarks I already have? Is there a way to prevent this?

It depends upon the method used to import the bookmarks.
Firefox can import from two formats, if you import the JSON format it will overwrite the bookmarks that already exist. If you import from the HTML format it will add the bookmarks that are imported to those that already exist.
To use the HTML format see the following links.

How can I use my synced bookmarks on another computer without merge?

I don't want end up with all the bookmarks from each PC that I use Firefox on.
If I go to another computer that has Firefox, I don't want the bookmarks, history, etc. from this computer. In other words, absolutely no merging of my stuff with their stuff.
I guess I want my bookmarks etc. to reside in the cloud and I want to experience Firefox on each and every device that I use as if it were my personal device, not a blend of my stuff and their stuff.

Sync isn't meant to be used as a backup device, but merely to sync data between multiple devices.
So it is not possible to store your bookmarks in the cloud on the sync server without syncing it to other devices.
You would have to exclude the bookmarks and the history from syncing if you still want other personal data to get synced and backup your data locally.
You can do that manually or via an extension like MozBackup or FEBE.

I sync d my iphone with another computer by mistake, i sync d my iphone with another computer by mistake

I syn'd my iphone with another computer by mistake and now when i want to sync with the proper computer i keep getting the user id from the other computer

Because you transferred apps from the iTunes library on your friend's computer that were downloaded with your friend's Apple ID, which is in effect stealing in regards to any paid apps that were transferred.
All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps.
You need to delete the apps that were purchased/downloaded with your friend's Apple ID and re-download the apps that were purchased/downloaded with your Apple ID.

Copy Bridge Preferences to another computer

In the past, when administering all our work computers, I was able to copy the Adobe Bridge plist file to additional computers (or user accounts on a single computer) once I had one station set up the way I wanted, so that all our computers were set up with the same settings. This doesn't appear to be working in Bridge CC. For instance, if I change the Color Theme in the General preference screen and then copy the plist file to another computer it doesn't "take" on the second computer. I have checked to make sure I have read/write access to the plist file after copying it. Am I missing something?

Same problem here. Did you resolve this issue?

How do i copy a single folder in the bookmarks to another computer. the master backup does not have access to individual folders. in windows you can just copy a specific bookmark folder without overwriting the whole thing

eg:
bookmarks
fav1
fav2
fav3
just want to copy fav2 to another computer

Unfortunately you can not do that it has been asked like forever and always gets pushed aside. You will have to export your bookmarks and strip out what you do not want being careful to maintain the integrity of the exported bookmarks backup file. Then import the bookmarks. into Firefox. The imported bookmarks will get added to a folder at the end of your "Bookmarks Menu" bookmarks folder. Move them to where you want them and then delete the folder you added to the "Bookmarks Menu". If you automatically sort your bookmarks (automatic sorting is a bad idea), be sure to turn it off beforehand.

Certain files contain the current bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar and and could be copied into firefox on another computer. I found these files but they only have my old bookmarks, not my current ones.

In the past, there were certain files in the "Local Settings" and "Application Data" folders that contain my current Bookmarks and current Bookmarks Toolbar contents. I have been able to copy these files to a jumpdrive then use it to bring my CURRENT bookmarks and boomarks toolbar to Firefox on a different computer. When I attempt to do the same now, I get my bookmarks from 2 years ago and nothing at all on my bookmarks toolbar. I have successfully done this as recently as this past February. What happened to them and why can I not do this anymore?
I NEED to have these bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar on my other computers. I do NOT want them uploaded to YOUR servers to be able to do this. The whole reason I use Firefox is to avoid using M$ for the very same reason you are now trying to force on your faithful users. This has been a huge factor for most of us to use Firefox, to get away from IE.

If you have access to Firefox on that computer then export the bookmarks to an HTML file.<br />
Otherwise you need the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup.<br />
Note that this will replace all current bookmarks, so in order to keep these you need to export them to an HTML file and reimport that file after you have restored the JSON backup.

How do I move my Firefox bookmarks to another copy of Firefox on another computer, and how do I keep from overwriting the previous bookmarks on the "new" computer's Firefox?

My husband upgraded his iMac this year, and I'm getting his "old" one. I just want to know, first, how to transfer my bookmarks, and second, how to transfer them to his Firefox without overwriting his current bookmarks. And how do I open "my" Firefox, when the Firefox icon is connected to his information? Thanks!

Hi Guys, you make this sound easy. I have a 2005 Toshiba with about 6GB of music I loaded from CDs on it. It is an old PC and I want to retrieve the music before it crashes then deauthorize it.
I have a iMac desktop and want to import the 6GB to it.
I read the above and tried to copy the file but at 6GB it is bigger than a memory stick or CD and I can't get sharing to work.
My Imac can see the Toshiba in the IMPORT window....but won't allow me to import it.
Would it work if I got a cable with USB on each end and joined the 2 computers?
I also have iTunes Sharing and can see and play the Toshiba files on the Mac WHILE they are connected.......BUT I want to cut the connection and have the Toshiba songs independant on the Mac, then close down the PC.
Does anyone have a simple way. It is APPLE! I must be missing a simple solution here somewhere.
Thank you for your time.

After importing bookmarks from another computer, I have two copies of all of them: how can I delete the 'right' copy?

I successfully imported my bookmarks from my old to new Macbook. But now there are two copies of everything, listed one after the other. I tried to delete one set, but only deleted the ones organized into folders. There are still doubles of a lot of bookmarks. Now when I bookmark new pages on the new computer, it adds them to the end of one list of bookmarks but not the other and it's the list that doesn't have the folders from the old computer. How can I delete one set of bookmarks, but keep the set that it's adding on to and keep my folders?

I think in this case you need a addon:
