Why doesn't import wizard list a browser to choose

Trying to import IE Favorites......Using import Wizard....I click on Import data from another browser and there are no browsers to choose. What gives?

Edmeister......First off.....I must say thanks for sticking this out with me and keeping me persistant. This is what I did: First.....I already had gone into the XP partition and exported the favorites to an html file and stored them in My Documents. The problem was: how to get this file to the other partition. So.....I thought.....why not email it to the other partition. Then....I tried to email it but my Yahoo! email was out-dated. Then up pops a page that says : Download FOXFIRE! What happened.....Did Yahoo buy out Foxfire? Or vice-versa? Did they Merge? Whatever it was didn't matter to me. It made perfect sense to download it because it would ask me to create a user name and password which I had already done on the other partition in order to Sync with other devices. So.....I downloaded & installed Foxfire in XP and up pops the Import Wizard asking me if I wanted to transfer favorites...etc over to wherever. BINGO! YES! YES! YES! When finished.....I Shut down XP and went over to the other partition where Ubuntu and Foxfire resided. And.....WALLA! It worked. It wasn't a line of print for me to click on like it was on AT&T's Start Page but it worked. The favorites were loaded into Foxfire's Bookmarks as if they had been there all along. AT&T must have had some way of transferring the favorites back when I originally went through this. So......I Thank You once again for not deserting me. Pass this one on.

  • HT2822 Why doesn't a network list appear anymore yet Apple TV says I'm connected to the internet?

    Since updating Apple TV I lost the usual main menu. Now I can't even see Network lists like I did before the update. The main menu show options for Computer Sharing and Settings. Apple informs me that I am connected to the Internet through built in ethernet so why doesn't a network list appear?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Are you actually connected using ethernet, if you are then you won't see a list of networks.
    You clearly do have a problem, however before addressing that problem it would help if we could sort out whether you have an ethernet connection or not.

  • Why doesn't apple tv have a browser?

    Why doesn't apple tv have a browser and what's stopping apple from creating one we can download easily?

    Nobody here will have any information about that here since the community is only made up of users like you or I. Anything else is mere speculation and speculation is not permitted here under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    If you believe that Apple's product may be enhanced in anyway you can leave feedback here.

  • Why doesn't the wizard generated applet work?

    I can't get an applet to run inside a html page using the embedded OC4J.
    I have re-installed Jdev a couple of times but no dice. Is there some sort

    thanks in advance for any suggestions.

  • Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

    I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
    Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
    Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
    It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
    I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
    It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
    Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.  

    Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience.  I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion.  I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
    First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file?  You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Import wizard has hanged for an hour; browser doesn't start

    1. I am trying to install Firefox. For the past hour it has been hanged at this point:
    Import Wizard
    Importing...
    The following items are currently being imported...
    Internet Options
    Cookies
    Browsing History
    Favorites
    [<Back][Next>][Cancel]
    All 3 buttons are grayed out, disabled.
    2. Internet Explorer is still working even though Firefox already set Firefox to be my default browser.
    In Internet Explorer I tried to view http://www.mozilla.org
    But Mozilla's site redirected Internet Explorer to http://www.mozilla.jp
    At the bottom of http://www.mozilla.jp, I clicked on words "mozilla.org (グローバルサイト)".
    Those words are a link to http://www.mozilla.org
    But Mozilla's site redirected Internet Explorer to http://www.mozilla.jp
    Now I'm stuck in an infinite loop too.
    Every time I click on "mozilla.org (グローバルサイト)",
    it repeatedly displays http://www.mozilla.jp with words at the bottom "mozilla.org (グローバルサイト)".
    3. Meanwhile, the Import Wizard is still hanged, and I still can't open Firefox as a browser.
    4. By the way, the reason Firefox is trying to install in English is that
    a Google search for firefox showed site http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    and http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ did not redirect to mozilla.jp
    5. Meanwhile, the Import Wizard is still hanged, and I still can't open Firefox as a browser.
    The OS is Windows 7 SP1 64-bit Japanese with all Windows Updates except that
    Internet Explorer is version 10 because Internet Explorer 11 breaks Outlook 2003.

    As previously stated:
    So in summary, not much damage has been done, but the hang of the original Import Wizard is not solved.
    When the original Import Wizard hanged during installation, there was a Firefox icon on the desktop but double-clicking the icon did not start Firefox because there was already a firefox.exe process (the hanging installer) so it would not even be possible to do the procedure of "import from another browser". I did not know that it was hanging on favorites. In fact I think it was not hanging on favorites, it was probably hanging on history and it was hanging on abusing my Outlook.pst file because Outlook couldn't even run. I think it didn't reach the stage of importing favorites because that would come later than the hang of importing history.
    But at the time, I didn't know what it was hanging on, it was just hanging there for an hour with the Cancel button grayed out (together with two other grayed out buttons). I thought I was going to have to use Windows Task Manager to kill the installer and then uninstall whatever amount of Firefox had been installed. But I tried the [X] in the upper right corner and it did work more or less, even though the Cancel button didn't.
    The original problem is not solved.
    Also the abuse of Outlook.pst is not solved. Why would Firefox (not Thunderbird) prevent Outlook from accessing Outlook.pst?
    I do know that everyone's a volunteer and I can't complain the way I complain about Microsoft, but I can still say accurately that the problem is not solved. If you don't want to solve it then mark it WONTFIX, but don't pretend that you solved it.

  • Inbox and Personal docs not listed/imported with Import Wizard (XI R2 SP3)

    Post Author: CFC
    CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
    When using the Import Wizard to import personal and inbox documents from BO 6.5.3, the documents are not listed in the Import summary and are not found.  I've read various posts on BOBJ, etc and have attempted the suggestiopns with both an account that exists and one that doesn't exist in XI.  I've also attempted with selecting a corporate document in the mix, but no deal.  It's like the wizard cannot see the files, even though I navigate directly to the folder they're in.  Anyone have any suggestions????
    Thanks!!

    I love it when the solution is this simple   According to BO tech support, the Inbox and Personal documents WILL NOT be listed in the Summary page, but they WILL be imported. After clicking the Finish button (even though the reports aren't listed), you'll then see the documents listed when the Import Wizard fires up. It worked for me and Inbox and Personal documents came across fine.

    Why doesn't the Add to Wish List icon appear on my iPhone 5? I have iOS 7...frustrating

    If it's not a free item then you should get the 'add to wish list' icon via the share button - is it a free or paid-for item that you are looking at ?

  • Why the "Import Data from Another Browser" option cannot be chosen

    I click on History on the menu, then, Show All History option, a new window appears called Library.
    I click on the button: 'Import and Backups', a drop down menu appears with the option 'Import Data from Another Browser'; however, this option in my browser is light gray, i.e. I cannot choose it. Why?

    Are you in the Private Browsing mode when you try that Import menu item?

  • I import a MLB schedule into my iphone calendar.  Why doesn't it show up on my PC icloud website?

    I rectnely downloaded the Phillies schedule off their site.  Went to the "calendars" tab, imported, etc.  It is up and working on my iphone 4s.  No problem there.  But why doesn't it show up on my icloud?  I log in, all names, contacts, etc are there, but no Phillies schedule appears.  If everything from your phone syncs with the cloud, why isn't it working.  Thanks.
