You can also set up a Sync account and use that to keep the bookmarks (and possibly other data) synced.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • How can I add old bookmarks from another computer to the ones I have on my new computer?

    My old computer crashed; and was replaced with a new one running Windows 7. I had saved my bookmarks, but couldn't find the thumb drive where they were saved, so began using Firefox on my new computer. Now I have bookmarks saved onto my new computer, but want to upload and merge my old bookmarks. I've only found a way to restore bookmarks that will complete wipe out the new ones. Short of writing down all the new ones and adding them back after restoring the old ones, is there any other way to merge the two?

  • Transfering info from another computer at startup.

    I have a problem. At the initial startup Tiger asked me whether I wanted to transfer information from an older Mac to my new Mac. I opted for no, and went ahead and created a new administrator. Now I realize I should have transfered my info from the older machine after all. Is it possible to go back, to that start up page and transfer all my info and settings from my old machine. I realize this means deleting the administrator I just created but I'm not even sure how to do that. Can someone please help. Thanks,
    Dana

    You can run Migration Assistant. Utilities>Migration Assistant. However, if you are going from a PPC to an Intel you are going to migrate files that are not compatible with your new Mac. Therefore, follow the instructions in the link in my first post and you will be better off.

    How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

    Hey susanneyes,
    Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How do I stop my Macbook Air from transferring your information from another computer?

    Just purchased my Macbook Air. When I started it up, it asked if I wanted to tranfer information from my other computer. the first thing it started to download was the music and it suddenly froze when it had a 1hr and 46 mins left and now I can escape out of it. It is the only thing that is on my screen. I ended the transfer on my PC but it wont clear out on my Macbook Air. Is there a way to restart the computer so it will retry the tranfer without the music?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold the Power button until the Mac turns off, and turn it on again.
    Instead of transferring your files from another computer through the network, copy your data from your old PC or Mac to an external drive, connect the external drive to your MacBook Air and transfer your files

    how to transfer bookmarks from one computer to another?

    Export your bookmarks (file menu in Safari, from the Show All Bookmarks option in Firefox) and save to your HD. Copy the saved .html file to the other Mac over the network, or by copying the file to a USB stick and copying to the other Mac, or emailing them to the other Mac. On the other Mac import the Bookmarks file into your browser of choice,

  • Possible to add bookmarks from one computer to another?

    Hi all. I posted this in the Safari Forum but no one has replied, so I thought I'd try here. I have one PowerBook at home and another at work. I use Safari on both. Over time, they have developed different sets of bookmarks, but I would like them to be the same on both computers. Is there a way to Import/Export from one machine to the other without either erasing bookmarks they don't have in common or duplicating the ones that they do?
    (I'm now using Camino on one of the machines, and have imported the Safari bookmarks to it, but my question is still the same: Can I add the bookmarks from one computer to the other without erasing or duplicating bookmarks in the target software.)
    Thanks for any light you can shed.

    I copied my Bookmarks.plist file to a memory stick and brought it to work today. But when I went to copy it into the Safari folder it said "A file called Bookmarks.plist already exists in that location. Do you want to replace it?" But of course I don't want to replace it, I just want to add to it. So unless someone knows of some obscure "Merge" command somewhere in OS X, I guess I'll just have to try Bookit. Cheers, all. GB

  • HT1349 How do I backup photo folder that was transferred to my Iphone from another computer

    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.

    How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
    The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

    If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
    You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
    Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
    There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
    You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.

    Export them to an HTML file, then import the HTML file to the other computer, that will add the bookmarks to those that already exist.
