Where is the folder containing all my bookmarks?

I need to locate the folder on my C: drive containing the bookmarks I saved through Firefox. This is easy to do with IE. I have a Favorites icon on my desktop and I can open it and see all my bookmarks.
The same question applies to Xmarks. Xmarks lists all my bookmarks but I have to access them from the browser. I need the folder.
I haven't started using Delicious yet, so maybe that's a solution to organizing bookmarks. But so far, none of the applications or Add-ons for organizing bookmarks works. The best solution is to organize them manually. I create my own folders then transfer the bookmarks into the folders they belong in.
Even Yahoo Bookmarks doesn't have an import feature. So if I want to use it, I have to start from scratch.
I need to move the bookmarks around without having to open them up in a browser.

With firefox you will be better off using your library feature
* From the menubar '''Bookmarks -> Organise bookmarks'''
The library may not look much at present, because you have not started using it, but it is highly customisable.
Even without using any bookmark related extensions. The library feature of firefox allows you to move around bookmarks and folders of bookmarks easily. You can drag and drop &/or copy and paste.
It is easy with firefox to for instance have rows of folders on the bookmarks toolbar each with nested bookmarks folders, you can also tag bookmarks, and or use shortcut keywords of one or more letters. Or you can open them from the bookmark menu, or the bookmark sidebar, and if you wish the location bar will utilise them.
You can temporarily re-sort your library, with a mouse click or two, by any column heading either up and down or down to up. You can export the bookmark library files as HTMl if you want.
'''However''' firefox works with the bookmarks in a special format and the files have the extension .json Be very careful if you work with them. Firefox does automatically create some autobackups, but if used they overwrite existing bookmarks, you must remember to make manual backups first.

Where is the folder containing installation package to bonjour.msi located

having issues downloading itunes v10.5.1. on Windows XP. Error message The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package Bonjour.msi.
Where do I find the alternative path to a folder containing the installation package Bonjour.msi?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.

Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive?Pls.help.

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help. Tks.

Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing!

I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folder location. So I downloaded DNG converter v7.3 for D5200. It identifies the folder and files; but it is giving me parsing error on trying to convert files. I'm running Windows Vista Home Edition SP1. Kindly advise. Thank you.

I probably missed this detail in what you’ve posted, but do you see the thumbnails of the three cameras’ raw files in Finder if you don’t convert to DNG?
What has happened in the past is that the Apple raw interpreter doesn’t read thumbnails of DNGs it doesn’t like, where at least one thing it didn’t used to like was embedded lens corrections for mirrorless cameras. Are the Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless—meaning there is no optical viewfinder and everything is seen on an LCD screen or perhaps an electronic view finder? If so the reason these are different is that the camera is doing the lens distortion corrections automatically and this information is stored in the raw files and in the DNGs but Apple doesn’t know how to use these embedded lens corrections or doesn’t know how to read the newer DNG spec that does allow for this information to be embedded in the DNG, at least.
Apple could just extract the embedded jpg preview and ignore the other parts of the file it doesn’t understand, but it apparently doesn’t do this.
What I’m not sure about is if the Apple raw interpreter still has this problem or if you’re on an older system without the latest updates for camera raw decoding by Apple.

Could the folder in which a bookmark is in be included as an additional field in the bookmark library on future updates?

I think it would be really useful on searches, particularly for intensive bookmarks users such as myself, that an additional information field was available for selection on the bookmark library (in addition to "Name", "Tags", "Location", "Visit count"...) to locate the folder in which a bookmark is in (in addition to the way described here: [[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20find%20which%20folder%20a%20bookmark%20is%20in?s=bookmarks+folder+search&as=s]]). An option to go to that folder in the menu that appears when right-clicking a bookmark would be very handy too. That kind of functionality can be found on Chrome as reference, and although I have gone back to Firefox as my main browser after a time evaluating Chrome, I think some of these features would be worth implementing in future Firefox updates.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for these improvements, but I haven't found any section dedicated to collect this kind of suggestions.

There are a couple of related add-ons that may be of interest to you, [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/show-parent-folder/ Show Parent Folder ] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/go-parent-folder/ Go Parent Folder].

The folder containing iTunes library cannot be found.

I recently cosolidated my iTunes library into a new folder. Then I dragged it to the desktop and deleted the messed up folder I was using before. Everything was working fine untill I started my computer this morning and clicked on iTiunes. The message "the folder containing iTunes library cannot be found" appeared

apparently I didnt ask a question so I went to edit post and made it into a question. There was no button to post edited version, just save it. So I saved it and guess what nothing. So now im posting to my origional post. How do I get my iTunes back?

Where is the folder that contains my Firefox bookmarks?

I'm new to Windows 7. With IE, I can see/add to the Favorites by locating the Favorites folder in Windows Explorer. I cannot find a similar file that contains my Firefox bookmarks. It would be handy for transferring bookmarks from an old computer to a new one.

Thank you for your help. I was hoping to find a folder that I could open and view, but the .json filename doesn't allow that. In looking around, I did learn about Firefox Sync for sharing bookmarks between computers, so I think I found a way to do what I need, as long as the old computer is still functional (which mine wasn't for a while).
I appreciate your quick response and help. Thanks again.

Some of the subfolders will not show bookmarks when I click on the folder containing the subfolder.

I have three computers. 27" iMac, 11" MacBook Air, 13" MacBook Pro. All my bookmarks are synced with Xmarks. On the iMAc and the MacBook Air, the bookmarks work as they should. The bookmark list drops down when I click on Bookmarks and all the subfolders within the main folders contain the bookmarks I have saved in them. On the MacBook Pro this is not the case for one of my folders. It contains about 10 or 12 subfolders and only 5 or 6 of the subfolders show bookmarks when highlighted.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and then syncing bookmarks again but the problem still persists. I have checked file permissions and they are set as they should be.
I am now at a loss for what to do.

Sorry, that sounds like a question for Xmarks support. You aren't using both Xmarks '''and''' Firefox Sync, are you? We have had a number of support posting about problems similar to what you are seeing when using both.

I was dragging a folder and now can not find the folder at all

Hello,
is there any way to find a folder that is now lost on my MacBook Pro. I was dragging the folder from the finder window to another folder using the mouse tracking on my MacBook Pro laptop. But I didn't get a chance to reach the other folder and lost the file. I check every where on the laptop using the search and nothing. Even check the trash can nothing still. A folder containing about a 1000 pictures just vanish.
Please help me fiind this folder.
I am at lost.
Doel

Hi, would you believe that I did that too. I have the iimages on Lightroom so I keep typing in the file name and nothing. I am like going mad with this.
I don't even understand how a folder can disappear just like that. I have been up all night trying to do everything. The Mac is not like Windows where at least you have some history of what n where files could be.
I know I didn't go to the trash, because it didn't ask me and nothing of the sort of replacing folders or files.
I'm at a lost.
Thank you though.

Where is the folder?

I have suddenly lost the actual folder where my pictures are. All I see under "Pictures" in Finder is an icon for Photo Library but when I open it I just start the program and not the actual folder. Can anyone help me restore the initial setting?

The following is from one of Terence Devlin’s posts on file access for use outside of iPhoto. It’s the definitive treatise on the subject.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Accessing the iPhoto Library Folder directly has never been supported in any version of iPhoto.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For Users of 10.5 and later
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
For users of 10.4 and later ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
All of the above are a: faster and b: Safer than rooting around in the old Library Folder.
OT
