Windows 7, IE8, and bookmarks

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8, my browser bookmarks don't sync with the iPhone any more. Is there a trick to making this work?
My guess (and that's all it is) is that IE8 stores its bookmarks in a different place than IE7 and previous versions did, and iTunes doesn't know where to look for them.
After a sync, the only bookmarks I get on my iPhone are the generic top-level ones that come with IE8. None of the bookmark folders are sync'd.
Any ideas?

It could be a bug with how Windows 7 handles things. Maybe it will be fixed when 7 reaches final release.

  • Bookmarks in ie8 and safari do not sync to iphone and ipad

    IE version 8
    iphone 4, ios 4.3.3
    ipad 2, ios 4.3.3
    itunes 10.3
    Windows XP SP3
    Hello everyone, hope someone could help me..
    I really want to sync my bookmarks from my PC to my iphone and ipad but it doesn't seem to work. I already tried the following but they all failed:
    1. Clear Sync history
    2. Clear cache, cookies and history from iphone/ipad
    3. uncheck sync bookmarks in itunes, then sync. then re-check then sync again.
    4. I tried deleting all bookmarks in IE8 and then re-creating them, then sync afterwards
    All these methods failed. Everytime I try and sync itunes with my iphone/ipad, the sync is successful but bookmarks is left out. No syncing happens for bookmarks. Apps, music and contacts sync work fine though..
    Hope you could help thanks!!

    No bookmarks bar folder is created
    For perspective, my IE8 has bookmarks both in Favorites bar and in Favorites (apparently they are different). I did this to ensure that it's not just a matter of wrong bookmark location in IE. am i doing something wrong?
    Also, when I sync there is this one bookmark (google reader) that keeps on popping up even though I manually delete it in my iphone. It suddenly shows up after every sync.

  • Firefox freezes trying to download or save files, Import/Export bookmarks, clicking (Tools) Options (was: Fire Fox crashes in Windows safe mode and in Firefox Safe mode)

    Hi
    XP sp3 4gb ram
    Firefox 6.0.2
    Firefox crashes every time I do any of the following. Then I have to force quit Fire fox.
    If i click a download link on a web page, Firefox freezes the instant I click the link
    ...but Firefox does not freeze if I click a web link on a web page or page navigation link.
    If i go to the Menu bar > Tools > Options, Firefox freezes the instant I select Options from the Tools menu.
    ...but Firefox does not freeze if select any other item from the Tools menu.
    If I go to the Menu bar > File, Firefox instantly freezes the instant I select either "Save Page as..." or "Open file..."
    ...but Firefox does not freeze if I select any other option from the File menu such as: New Tab, New Window, Send Link, page Setup, Print, Exit etc
    If I go the Menu Bar > Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks > Import and Backup, Firefox instantly freezes the second I select "Import" or "Export"
    ... but Firefox does not freeze if I select any other command in the Bookmarks sub menus, nor does it freeze if I back out of the menu entirely.
    Same as above for History if I select "Import" or "Export"
    ...so I have isolated the problem to a limited number of commands in Firefox that cause Firefox to freeze... described above. Everything else in Firefox works fine.
    HERE IS A SUMMARY OF WHAT CAUSES THE FREEZING:
    • Clicking a download link on a webpage
    • Going to the Menu Bar > File and selecting "save as" or "Open File"
    • Going to the Menu bar > Tools and selecting Options.
    • Going to Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks > Import and Backup and selecting either "Import" or "Export"
    • Same as above for History if I select "Import" or "Export"
    Everything else in Firefox works fine. I went through every menu command and checked for freezes. Only the commands I mentioned above cause the freezing.
    I tried the following to try to fix it:
    • Reset my modem and router (Problem still exists)
    • Uninstalled FF. Deleted folders, profiles (Downloads.sqlite), Registry entries. Reinstalled. (Problem still exists)
    • Restarted FF in Firefox safe mode. (Problem still exists)
    • Restarted in Windows Safe mode and then started FF in Firefox safe mode (Problem still exists)
    • Disabled Window firewall. Disabled ZoneAlarm firewall, Shutdown ZoneAlarm firewall. Set Internel Options to default settings. (Problem still exists)
    • I reset the config option: browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to false
    What does work?
    • Firefox does not crash when I click a link an go a website, navigate a page, use a menu item command.
    • Firefox works fine on my other computer.
    • Internet Explorer works fine on the computer that Firefox is having a problem on.
    • My other applications work fine on the computer that Firefox is having a problem on.
    I want to add that, I just overcame the XP Recovery Virus by following a post that suggested running the following software to fix the virus. Everything seems back to normal except Firefox.
    The software I ran to fix the problem are listed below:
    • malwarebytes
    • superantispyware
    • ccleaner
    • combofix.
    • smart defrag
    • then load a good anti-virus. (I ran Zone Alarm virus scan)

    Hi.
    This is about a question you posted to the Firefox Support forum three months ago (I'm sorry you never got an answer).
    Did you ever fix the problem where Firefox freezes or hangs, when clicking a download link or using (File menu) "save as" or "open file"? Or when going to the Firefox (Tools) menu and clicking Options ? Or trying to Import or Export bookmarks?
    I found this thread searching for a solution for someone on MozillaZine's support forum who's having a similar issue. See this thread: (maybe something he's tried that didn't work for him will work for you?)

  • I have Firefox Home installed on my iPhone. It has all of my current open windows and bookmarks. I have a new desktop computer. How do i transfer?

    I don't want to lose all of my open windows and bookmarks!

    The Firefox Home uses Firefox Sync, and as I said, you can't transfer from iPhone to Desktop, it's 1-way. You can transfer your data from your old computer to your new one, but not from iPhone to Desktop. Firefox home isn't even developed or supported anymore.

  • I am updating from windows xp to windows 7, how can I save my bookmarks and bookmark tool bar to install on new computer

  • When a window is open and I try to go to a new bookmark or a link in an existing site, the new window opens behind the old window.

    It isn't every time, and sometimes doesn't happen for a long time, then I'll go to a bookmark or toolbar link and the new window opens behind the one I was on. Example: I just opened a second window (CTRL N) and clicked on a bookmark. It opened a new window behind the one I'm on as I type this. I did the same steps again and it opened the new window in front of this one. It doesn't seem to make any difference which site I start from or go to or if I use CTRL N or let the bookmark do the opening.

    This can happen if you have a tab open in the main browsing window that uses the plugin-container process (e.g. Flash).

  • SOA Suite 11G EM and Windows 7 / IE8

    Anyone else have an issue where 11GR1 is installed on a remote server (Win2K3) and you can log in to EM console using Firefox but not IE8 from Windows 7? My Firefox on Win7 works fine but the integrated IE8 just hangs on the login screen and 'spins'. I had a co-worker test it on his XP box (using IE8) and it worked fine as well. It seems to just be an issue with Win7. My first thought was perhaps the way Win7 handles authentication (kerberos, NTLM, etc.) but I may be way off.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    11.1.1.1 does not support IE 8 you need to upgrade to 11.1.1.2

  • When I attempt to Bookmark something I scroll over the small window that opens and it close's and doesnt let me choose what to name it or where to save it to.

    Since I've updated whenever I try to bookmark something it opens the small window and then as soon as I mouse over it to type in a name or just generally move the mouse the box disappear's and bookmarks it, It refuses to let me choose a destination folder or change the name because as soon as I try to do either the box disappears.

    same problem here, you might happen to have problem with the password saving window also
    apparantly starting firefox in safe mode revolves the issue but im not sure what is casuing it i have disabled all of the addons / extensions manually and it does the same as you said

    I see that you have increased some font sizes.
    You might be interested in the NoSquint extension.
    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.
    *NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
    *"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
    *View > Toolbars<br>Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
    *"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
    *check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup

  • While Opening a New Window all Tool Bars and Bookmark Bar Dissapearing

    Dear Mozilla Team,
    I loved the new Firefox 4 it is fast and more space for webpages and many other a lot of good stuff. Congrats and thank you for the hard work. However something weird happening every time I opened a second new window .
    I will try to explain and be clear;
    File --> New Window;
    In the new window;
    - The biggest problem is it seems like there are two Microsoft Windows window within each other. There are two minimize, fullscreen and close icons at the top right corner.
    - Some of the google toolbar icons lost
    - My boomarks toolbar lost
    - My homepage is not loading and there is not attempt to load.
    This is happening every time I try to open 2 new window.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • Menu and Bookmark toolbars are missing upon restart of Firefox, although they are recoverable by left clicking on remaining toolbar. V31 and Windows 7.

    As question states, the menu toolbar and bookmark toolbars are missing upon restart.
    Both are fully recoverable as customized, but then disappear again upon restart.

    I deleted the localstore.rdf.
    But, I usually run Norton's Utilities 2012 "clean disk" upon closing down computer. The problem is something Norton is doing.
    Firefox is storing my configuration/profile related to showing the two toolbars in some fashion (perhaps as a temp file), that Norton is erasing it.
    Norton isn't deleting the customization/uniqueness of the toolbars.
    Just that they don't show upon restarting.
    There is probably a way for Firefox to store this "permanently".
    Thanks for the help so far. The fix may not be something Firefox can do.
