Trying to import bookmarks from Windows 7 to iPad Mini

How do I import Safari bookmarks from a Windows 7 laptop (running the latest Safari) to a new (bought 1/10/13) iPad Mini?
I'm logged into iCloud on the laptop; "Bookmarks with Safari" is checked on the iCloud control panel; the iPad Settings/iCloud has Safari turned on; I've read the iPad Mini User Guide, iCloud Help and anything else I could find. (I can originate and save Bookmarks in the iPad.)
I've even tried connecting the laptop and the iPad with the Apple USB cable then clicked on File Export Bookmarks setting the destination as IPad and File type either HTML or All. The result of those attempts was always a popup message saying "You can't save here. Try someplace else."
Thank you for your help.

I don't have that activated either.. :-s

Run time error when trying to import bookmarks from firefox

When trying to import bookmarks from Firefox to Safari I get the following error message: "Run Time Error. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." Safari does not function anymore and I have to close it. Can somebody help me? I am using a PC with Windows 7.

In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) there is a toolbar with the Back and Forward button and three other buttons (Organize, Views, Import & Backup).
* The first (gear) button is the Organize button with basic edit menu items for bookmarks
* The second button is the Views button that allows to change the sort order for viewing purposes (doesn't sort permanently).
* The third (star) button is the Import & Backup button that allows to backup and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup and import bookmarks from other browsers.
Hover each button to see the tooltip or click each of them to see what they do.

I am trying to import bookmarks from google account. Your drop down menu does not have the "import" option. How can I do this?

Your instructions for importing bookmarks/favorites are to click the top left Firefox button and select "import" to start the process. I don't have that option, there is not "import" in the drop down menu. How can I import bookmarks into Firefox?

You will still find it in the File menu in the Firefox 5 version that you are using.<br />
If Firefox 7 is has been moved to the Bookmarks Manager.
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
If you managed the bookmarks via the Google toolbar on the Google server then see:

How to migrate favorite urls/bookmarks from Windows to iphone/ipad?

The Internet explorer, Firefox, and Chrome already have a lot of URLs, how could I view them with iPad?

“PC Bookmarks” iphone/ipad app by Airsee LLC. It collects all favorite urls (bookmarks) from Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome in Windows 7, XP, and then imports them to the app. check iTunes app store.

"Import" under "File" is grayed out/unselectable and I'm trying to import bookmarks from IE. Is there a work-around?

My hard drive was replaced and my Firefox bookmarks seem to have been imported into IE, but not Firefox. I would like to import them back into Firefox, but the Import function is not working (it can't be selected).

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
*You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
*To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

Error in SAFARI "Visual C ...runtime error..." trying to import bookmarks

On my PC (windows 7) I get in SAFARI the "Visual C ...runtime error..." upon trying to import bookmarks from html file (created in chrome)

No it doesn't help. I was able to do it only by deleting icloud. I've imported the bookmarks and installed icloud after it and the browser itself works normally. But unfortunatley I expect to have other similar problems (by uploading something) in the future... PLease read the thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/19791503#19791503#19791503 I think it's common error. I hope it won't for me but to operate without icloud (or by reinstalling everytime icloud) loses the sence...
Anyway thanks for your attention and if you have the solution\advise it would be very helpful. Thanks

I am importing bookmarks from Internet Explorer 9. If the bookmark has a subdirectory, I don't get the links in the subdirectory.

I am running Mozilla Firefox 20.0.1 under Windows 7 Ultimate.
I am trying to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer 9.0.15.
If the bookmark has a subdirectory, I don't get any of the links in the subdirectory.
This has not happened on my other computers:
Internet Explorer 8 under Windows XP Professional
Internet Explorer 9 under Windows 7 Professional

This incomplete importing sometimes happens for unknown reasons.
You can manually export your bookmarks from IE and then import them into Firefox using an HTML file as an intermediary format. This thread has the steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/835144 Only 1/3rd of my bookmarks imported from IE. How do I move the rest?]
Does it work?

Importing Bookmarks from an HTML Folder

I had to have a new hard drive install. The tech created a file call old back up which have all of my bookmarks in a HTML folder call favorites. Is there any way to import the whole folder into firefox 4.0 I can go in and do them one at a time, but I would rather just do the folder because it is already organize with subfolders.

The file that stores bookmarks may be locked or damaged which is preventing them from being deleted. Try deleting places.sqlite as shown on this site - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
Firefox will try to import bookmarks from a backup when you restart Firefox. If you do not want that to happen, in the profile folder where you found places.sqlite, there will be a folder called bookmarkbackups containing a few files with extension .json, delete all of those files. Also delete or rename bookmarks.html in the profile folder to prevent Firefox trying to import bookmarks from that file.

How do I Import Bookmarks from one profile to another ? I have tried searching online but I can find no "bookmarksbackups" folder and no "places.sqlite" Thanks

Hi,
I was wondering how to Import Bookmarks from an old firefox profile to a new one ? My laptop stopped working but I managed to copy my firefox data from the mozilla appdata folder. I want to now copy my old bookmarks to my new firefox profile on my new laptop. I have tried searching online for guidance but most methods mention a "bookmarksbackups" folder and a "places.sqlite" file. However, I can find no "bookmarksbackups" folder and no "places.sqlite" file. Among the files in profile I am trying to import FROM are a "bookmarks" html file(which seems to only contain the default firefox bookmarks) as well as "places.sqlite-shm" and "places.sqlite-wal" files. Although, the NEW profile on my new laptop I am trying to import TO DOES have a "bookmarksbackups" folder and a "places.sqlite" file.
I would be most grateful for any help received. Many thanks in advance for your help and for your time

f458italia,
Per your screenshot - you don't have the /bookmarksbackup/ folder nor the places.sqlite file - your bookmarks don't exist in that old Profile. ''cor-el mentioned another file that is missing, so that Profile wouldn't have been operational.''
Are you sure that you don't have another Profile for that user account?
beemarco,
Sorry that we missed your question over here:

'''Thank you for your reply. If my bookmarks etc. were to unknowingly be saved in another profile how could I find/access this profile? Many thanks in advance '''

Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted

Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted
for some reason there are many folders in the iPhone for pictures

I have been having the same issues with my devices (iphone4s & Ipad and Ipad mini) NOT importing photos to my PC via windows 7. Too be honest, i am sick and tired of looking for a fix. I have spent days on this and now realise via forums that this issue is widespread. (deja vu - remember notes vanishing?)
I have tripled checked everything but the platform just simply does not work.
So, i will get offered various 'hunches' as to how to fix this...but hold on..after paying over £1,000 for the equipment why should i have to go find a fix...basically ...yet again...Apple products not delivering what they promise and are flawed. Gather im pretty p**sed about this...you betya...will i buy Apple again...?? take a guess.

The import bookmarks from another browser option is grayed out and not usable. How do I import my favorites from windows explorer?

See question above~!

Make sure that you aren't in Private Browsing mode when trying to Import Bookmarks.

Restoring bookmarks from Windows Easy Transfer

I need to restore my bookmarks from Windows Easy Tranfer.I saw the same question asked and answered but the answer didn't explain how to transfer the bookmarks manually. I did find a Firefox file and tried to import from the organize libraries drop down. It gave me the message "importing will replace current bookmarks are you sure...?" I told it to proceed but I don't see my bookmarks. What do I need to do to solve this?

It depends if you included the Mozilla directory in your transfer.
