To import bookmarks from Safari, Help says to select Import from the File menu, but there is no Import option there. What then is the first step to import Safari bookmarks?.

I was reading from the Help menu which does provide the warning that the material may be outdated since it is not supported.

The Import option has been moved from the File menu to the Library window; that article needs to be revised.
*''Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks'' to open the Library window
*In the Library window, ''Import and Backup > Import Data from Another Browser''

Can't get online. Error message says current status is "offline." I uncheck "offline" in the File Menu but it goes back offline again immediately and will not stay in online mode..

'''bold text'''

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, things have gotten progressively worse now in another direction. After I posted this, I shut down my computer to go to work. It had to "rebuild" the filevault sparseimage to recover space.
Now when I restarted it, I am missing things from my dock, ? marks are in their place, all of my preferences have been set to some default AND this is the biggie - I have no mail accounts whatsoever. When I click on Mail, it asks me if I want to establish a new account. It looks like the FileVault action has totally screwed up my system.
I tried rebuilding the permissions as recommended above using safe boot. Didn't help. I am now trying to repair the FileVault sparseimage as recommended elsewhere. I think I now see what the problem might be. I have two different sparseimages for the same account with the only difference is that a 1 is appended to the second one. Unfortunately I can't tell which it is. I have a feeling I should repair the 1st one (without the suffix 1). It must not be able to open that and hence that is why it made a second one.
Any other help anyone?

Cannot import bookmarks from Safari on a Mac because "import" under the file menu is grayed out.

To import bookmarks from Safari on a Mac following the instructions for the import wizard, I am to select "import" under the Firefox file menu, but "import" is grayed out, so I cannot select it.

My bookmarks have vanished. I want to re-import from Safari. But the "Import" command in the File menu is not available. What's up?

Firefox works fine. However, my bookmarks toolbar is marked as <empty>. Didn't used to be. I have no idea where they've gone.
So rather than dwell on the loss, I thought I'd move ahead by importing the bookmarks I have in Safari over to Firefox. No luck, the "import" command on the File menu is de-highlighted. I cannot select it.

I want to sync my ipad to my mac comp. It says to select ipad from under the device list. I do not get a device list however on my screen

I want to sync my ipad with my mac computer so I can import the data as a backup. It says to select ipad from under the device coliumn, but I do not have that column showing. What should I do?

The Devices Headings is on the left gray sidebar of iTunes when iTunes is running on the computer and the iPad is connected. I am using a very old version of iTunes but the sidebar is still the sidebar.
Here is a screenshot of the iTunes sidebar. I am at work and can't connect my iPad here but the Devices heading will be on the left side - under where it shows the Library, Store, Shared, etc.
If you don't see the iPad listed there - it is not being recognized in iTunes. Maybe you should look through this for help if the device is not recognized.

My home wifi is available at full bars on the settings menu, but when selected it says it cannot be joined, and when it does connect, it only lasts a few seconds before disconnecting. My laptop connects to the wifi perfectly fine though. Help?

When in the Wi-Fi menu under settings, my iPod five will display the different wifi networks in range, including my home wifi network. The shown network has full bars and my laptop will connect to the network with no trouble. When the wifi on my ipod is selected though, it will show it is loading to connect, it will actually connect for five-ten or sometimes twenty seconds, and then it will disconnect. The wifi never automatically connects on my iPod5. It always has to be done manually and then does not establish a complete connection. No matter where I stand in the house, even if it is right beside the router, this happens. Sometimes when the network is chosen it refuses to connect and gives the message "Unable to Join". I've had it for a year and a half and for about the first six months it never had this problem. But then it began, and it would go through monthly cycles of working perfectly and doing what it is doing now. As of now I haven't been able to connect for three months. I'd like to think it's simply the wifi itself but mine and my sibling's laptops will connect with no trouble. It's extremely frustrating and I have no idea how to handle the problem. Please help?

Hey Saanasaana, Have you tried going into Settings>General>Reset and tapping Reset All Settings. If still no joy... Reset Network Settings and rebooting the router. If that doesn't do it, try Settings then tap the offending Wi-Fi Network, then tap Forget this Network and re-load it, as if it was a new network.
Your next options are to Restore. Connect to your iPod with your computer with the cable, and make new backups / copies of all your stuff to your computer first, then Restore from Backup. If that does not solve, Restore to New, a full restore. Note restore to new will wipe you iPod put it back to factory specs, that's why your need to make backups of everything on your iPod before you do it so you can reload your stuff back to your iPod. If the full restore does not solve you may have a hardware issue, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck. Cheers.

I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wro

I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wrong?

Good to know — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
"Adobe" is the name of the company.
"XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
"Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both?
Be well....

In iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed?

in iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed.

Short answer: They are not resizing, there is no quality lost. The dpi is only set when you decide what size you're printing at
Longer answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

Trying to import favorites from Explorer. When i go to the file menu in firefox, import is grayed out and I can't import the favorites

Import is no longer on the file menu after upgrade to 10..what gives?

After ex[eriencing some issues with a previous version of Firefox on my Mac I switched to Safari. I still prefer Firefox and decided to switch back after recent upgrade to 10.0.
I would like to import bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, however 'import' is no longer listed under the File menu.
So how do I import bookmarks now?

Hi jrmahlst,
You should try hitting ''Command + Shift+B'' to open the bookmarks menu. Then you can click on the star shaped menu item to find your import/export options.
The [[Importing bookmarks and other data from other browsers]] Knowledge Base article will give you more detailed information.
Hopefully this helps!

The 'Reimport from Camera / Archive' button does not appear in my file menu.

My last attempt to import material from my camera was interupted so not all the footage was imported to iMovie. I have re-attached the camera to try and reimport and the message on iMovie says that I should select the 'Reimport from Camera / Archie' option from the File Menu. Unfortunately, there is no such option in my file menu. I am using the latest version of iMovie 10.0 and my camera is a Panasonic HX-DC3. Help?

i wasn't even interupted, it told me it had imported everything from my gopro then i aimlessly went onto edit. ejected the gopro, went down stairs. came up to continue only to find half of the vids missing from the project screen. telling me the file was missing as it was still on the camera. so i went to import again. it told me done. no not done still on camera only. then when i go to consolidate event files it tells me they are already there. no not there. i went to share finish project (after pluging gopro back in and finishing project with half the vids in the libary and the other half stillon the camera) it lets me share to the new iMovie theater but when i go to youTube it it tells me it cant as half of the files are still on the camera.
i hover over the camera icon on the video file in the project screen where it pops up a info window telling to reimport from camera/archive......... from the file/menu...
hm hmmmm
nowhere to be found.
think you forgot a few things apple.........
fix it up

In Firefox 8 on Mac OS 10.7.2, the file menu doesn't list "Import"

I just installed Firefox 8 on my Mac that is running OS 10.7.2. When I went to the File menu to import my bookmarks from Safari, the "Import" option was not there.

You can find the Import menu entry in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)

Print Preview is missing from Firefox 6 on Mac OSX Lion in both File Menu and Print Dialog Box

The question says it all really. Print Preview option is missing from both the File menu and from the Print dialog box when you select Print. I use Print Preview a lot to avoid wasting paper.
A relevant issue might be that the Mac OSX app Preview is currently having trouble with various printers including my Xerox and so, temporarily, the default application for all Preview items is now Adobe Reader until Apple get their act together. Perhaps this is affecting things?
Thanks for any help

It's moved to the PDF dropdown, "Open PDF in Preview"

The Import item is grayed out in the File menu. How do I activate it?

I want to import my favorites from Internet Explorer, but under the File menu, the Import item is grayed out. How do I make it available?

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode

You also export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
