Where it the bookmarks folder located on my hard drive? I want to copy to a cd to save them.

Where is the bookmarks folder on my hard drive? I want to copy them to a cd to back them up. I have a lot of saved bookmarks that I do not want to lose. I know in MS that it is under the favorites folder, but I cannot find a bookmark folder.

One file named '''places.sqlite''' in your Profile folder, which also contains your browsing history.

  • Where are the bookmark records located?

    I am buying a new PC. I wish to use the same profile in my new download of Thunderbird. I plan to copy my existing Thunderbird profile and to import it into the new PC, so I can begin using Thunderbird quickly and effortlessly.
    Where are the bookmarks located, please?

  • Where is the Downloads folder located on iMac 10.4.11?

    .....

    Welcome to ASC!
    By default, Mac browsers save all downloads to the Desktop. See if the folder is here:
    Macintosh Hard Drive > Users > [yourusername]
    or
    Macintosh Hard Drive > Users > [yourusername] > Documents
    If it's not there, simply create one where ever you like.
    Once you've found it or created it, go to your browser and set it to route downloads there. In Safari Preferences:
    It's similarly located in other browsers like FireFox.

  • ITunes Music Folder Missing on external hard drive after changing iTunes Media Folder Location from MacBook Hard Drive.  Not deleted...just missing?

    I store my iTunes media folder on my external hard drive and can no longer find it there.  It seemed to becomd lost after I re-designated the default iTunes media location.  I had downloaded some things from iTunes without my external hard drive plugged in and when they downloaded they downloaded to the default location on my Macbook Pro.  In recognizing that, I wanted to move those files from the hard drive on my MacBook Pro to the external hard drive.  When I re-selected the location as the external hard drive a copy process began.  I cancelled the copy process fearing the small number of files from my Macbook Pro would over-write all of the files on my external hard drive so I quit the copy process.  Now I do not see my "iTunes Music" folder on my external hard drive.  I fear that I have somehow lost the path but I believe the content is still on my external hard drive although I no longer see the "iTunes Music" folder on my external hard drive.  I know I didn't delete it, but it isn't there.  Is there a way to make it re-appear?  I would really appreciate any guideance anyone has.
    Thank you.

    When you change the location in preferences it tells iTunes to start, from this point on, storing new media files in the new location.  It then presents you with the option to move any old files in their current locations to the new location.  It doesn't move the library files which are not media files.  Read the links below to understand how iTunes works because you are the one with the computer in front of you and are in the better position to understand how it stands as regards to iTunes files.
    What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
    More on iTunes library files and what they do - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management
    What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html
    Where are my iTunes files located? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Now, did you keep the whole library on the external drive, or did you keep just media?  From your description of the situation it sounds as if you kept the whole library there and when the external was not attached it returned to default location on the internal drive.  What you should have done then was plug in the external drive, hold down the option key, and guide iTunes to the library file on the external.  At this stage you could have dealt with the mislocated new files on an individual basis. 
    I guess the key question is, did your trying to move the couple of new media files to the external drive overwrite the iTunes folder there, which because you then canceled may have also just resulted in it being deleted.  I am not going to test the theory on my system.
    How big was your library on the external?  If it was 40GB do you now suddenly have 40 GB free?
    Look for any iTunes folders on the external drive.  In view options turn on "calculate all folders sizes" and see if there are any big ones.

  • I am changing my hard drive and want to copy my old hard drive to the new one.

    I went to the apple store with a bad hard drive in my macbook pro. The apple store said change the hard drive, they did, but I wanted to save the old hard drive to get everything off of it. So, I borrowed a sata enclosure and I was able to get everything from the orignial drive (which wasn't really broken) onto my external harddrive. Then I started up the Computer, but didn't use the Migration Assistant (Dumb, I know). Now I need to get everything that was on the original drive and put it where it is suppose to go. Is there a simple solution?

    If this external drive is a boot drive (has the OSX on it), you can swap it into your MBP or use Disk Utility>Restore to clone the data to the internal MBP HDD.

    Hi,
    The '''places.sqlite''' file in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] stores the bookmarks and the history. This is what you see in '''Bookmarks''' ('''Alt''' + '''B''') and '''History''' ('''Alt''' + '''S''') or in the window of '''Show All History''' ('''Ctrl''' + '''Shift''' +'''H''') and '''Show All Bookmarks''' ('''Ctrl''' + Shift + '''B'''). The '''bookmarkbackups''' folder in your profile contains dated backups of just the bookmarks which shows up in '''Import and Backup''' > '''Restore''' section of the '''Show All History''' / '''Show All Bookmarks''' window.

  • Where is the coverart folder located so I can restore it in TIME MACHINE

    I am adding songs day by day from the 30 days of the grateful dead for 2013.
    Somehow, the cover art from 2013 replaced the cover art for 2012....and 2012 coverart is GONE...
    How do I restore this state in time machine? I don't know where the folders are because everything is cryptic to me...
    any help will be grately appreciated.

    If you ever have reset Firefox then you may still have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop.

  • How to show the Library folder in an external hard drive

    Hi there,
    I am trying to restore the Skype Chat History to my new computer. 
    My old hard drive crashed and had to be replaced.  Unfortunately my back-up Time Machine file was corrupted due to fact that this is a VERY EASY thing to happen and hence I DO NOT recommend that anyone uses Time Machine through a wirelessly connected hard drive, such as a Time Capsule - a very bad design flaw!
    Luckily I am able to access some of the files on the old hard driave that was removed from my laptop.  However I can not find a Skype folder or the Application support folder under my user name.  Because it is an external drive, I can not use the techniques that have been suggested in other posts (such as using Terminal to permanently show the Library folder or using the Option key).
    Can you please help me!?

    Open a Finder window and choose the external drive with the user folder in the Finder sidebar. Then, make sure you see your user folder in the Finder window, because you will need it.
    Now, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
    chflags nohidden
    After typing that, press the Space key and drag your user folder from the Finder window to your Terminal window, and after dragging it, now type after the dragged folder (without space):
    /Library
    In Terminal you should see:
    chflags nohidden (yourdraggeduserfolder)/Library
    Finally, press the Enter key and the Library folder will show up

  • I crashed my hard drive and want to copy my iPad apps and music to my new computer instead of overwriting the iPad. How?

    I crashed my hard drive on my laptop and had it replaced.  I lost most of the data.
    When I sync my ipad or iphone, it wants to overwrite those devices.  I want to copy back the apps, music and photos to iTunes on the laptop.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks.

  • Just bought new PC with windows 8.1 and installed the 64bit tunes as instructed by the new PC. Only a small part of my music library is now showing but  can see all the files in the itunes folder on an eternal hard drive linked to my old XP pc.

    Problem - changed PC to one with Windows 8.1 ( previous from 2006 with Windos XP). Previously all ITunes stuff on an external harddrive as 80 gigs of music too much for the old PC
    When attached Harddrive to new PC was told needed to install the new 64 bit iTunes as 32 bit iTunes not compatable.
    Did so but only a very small portion of my music is showning -  though rest of Library is still on the external drive in the folder.
    Help please
    Thanks

    Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
    Under iTunes Media though I do not have  folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have  Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
    Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
    Next  - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders  there is some other  iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14  
    AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
    To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend  SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
    Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.
