Find my external hard disk Firefox profile?

My old laptop was damaged, but I managed to save my hard drive. Now I have this hard drive is connected as an external drive to a new computer. I need to restore my old profile bookmarks. However, when I type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ in the search (Windows 7) it looks only in the C drive. How can I find the profile folder and especially the places.sqlite file on the external hard drive containing the data recorded on the damaged computer?

  • OS can not find Gigastore external HARD disk.

    Hello
    I have a problem with my new Gigastore external HARD drive.
    I have a windows 2000 and the operating system can not find the Gigastore external HARD disk.
    One of the systemrequires is that it is compatible with Windows 2000.

    Thank you for your help.

    You don't give much info.
    I would first go in "Device Manager" and check that there is not a question mark with "unknown device" beside him. If this is the case, highlight it and delete it, unplug your HARD drive and restart your computer. Check the Device Manager again, you will need to repeat the process without the connected HARD drive. Then follow the instructions of the manufacturer install the driver. In some cases, you will need to plug it in the first place, in others, first install the driver. The order is important.

  • Drive light external HARD disk Warrior exploded

    I use DiskWarrior do a reconstruction of the hard drive to save the files, if possible. Hard drive does not appear on the desktop, which had been seen as a USB device on system information. During the reconstruction, the Seagate external HARD disk light exploded and is no longer visible to the Profiler system as a USB device. Should I cancel the reconstruction? Should I try disk referee to 'stabilize' the disc and run Disk Warrior?

    Can you describe the real problem which caused you to run DiskWarrior "to save the files?  Who can provide a clue about your current situation.

    If DiskWarrior' forever,' you have to cancel rebuild it later.  How long it has beed running?  It may take time, if repairs are done by DiskWarrior.

    DiskWarrior works repairing data directory player (which defines where the files are stored).  There are other types of utilities who hunt the disc for actual data.  For example

  • Photos can work using just an external HARD disk and leave my only intern?

    Hello

    I am using v1.5 Photos. On my Macbook HARD internal disk fills up very quickly. Fortunately, I have a nice external 1 TB drive and I would like to:

    (1) move all my photos on the external drive and direct Photos program so search the folder on the external HARD drive to find all photos.

    (2) when I import pictures from my camera in the future, that the Mac them automatically in the folder of photos on the external HARD disk and not keep fill the space limited on my Mac small disk internal.

    Is this possible? I remember that I was able to do it with iTunes years when I used a Powermac with 4 x internal HDD of various sizes. iTunes has been able to see the music on each disk files and present them to me as a single list of iTunes.

    I'm not interested in using iCloud at all, I have everything on HARD drive and memory sticks and I am satisfied that, as it provides all the storage I need and I only use a computer for my work.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Yes, it is possible to keep the pictures library on an external drive. Make sure that the unit is running at the launch of photos from your Mac.

    How can I move Photos on external hard drive?

  • Files missing after moving iMovie events from local disk to external HARD disk. Are they lost?

    Hi all

    Tonight, I tried to clear up little space on my local HARD drive and wanted to spend my events/projects of the iMovie local library to an external HARD disk, which I connected via firewire 800.

    I opened iMovie (v10.1 - current version with all updates installed). I clicked on an event to highlight and then the FILE--> COPY OF LIBRARY of selected EVENTS.

    There, I sailed on the external drive and created an iMovie new library called ReWatch2015. I copied successfully eight different events, including files from my external hard drive.

    The ultimate goal is to get rid of them on the HARD drive internal, I highlighted the 20 remaining events I wanted to move and then used the FILE--> MOVE of EVENTS at the LIBRARY and specified ReGen_2015.

    It seemed at first glance to move. In fact, he seemed to move too darn fast in my opinion. When I looked at home in the library of the external drive, they were nothing more than a string of question marks, with a message telling me that particular item is not found and re-import the original clips. It's impossible because I have not kept the original source material on my internal drive. I had asked before if they are preserved in the library of iMovie and told me Yes, so I that's why I deleted the original source material.

    Don't see no activity on the disks, I did the cmd - Z to go back. Events have now shown upward into the iMovie library internal. HOWEVER, they still have the question mark, with msg on reimport. What is scary, is that if I go to ALL projects of them have visible thumbnails. Yet, when I click on any of these thumbnails to load the project into the editor, I am back to the page of question mark again.

    Are the file on drive HARD internal, and they just disassociated projects, or two-thirds of my library of events of 2015 are now toast? I was not under any type of backup Time Machine to be able to recover them, and frankly, if they left, it is not the end of the world since I was of the .mp4 displayed on Vimeo. But, I would just assume the iMovie library intact if possible.

    Suggestions on how to recover are greatly appreciated!

    Robert

    Hi Robert

    Am having exactly the same problem on a new iMac 2016 running El Capitan: when I want to MOVE events such as you describe it, they sometimes get lost in the original library, both in the target library. Like you, I noticed that a such attempt to move just a very short time even if several GB of data play a role. Sometimes however, iMovie is able to move successfully. I my case, I had to re - import events so lost since an additional backup, I got on another external drive that I couldn't find the clips 'lost' on the HARD drive more. Very scary!

    I think it's an iMovie/El Capitan question which could be corrected with future updates. The only solution I've found is to the events of the FIRST COPY, and then check if the target is really OK and only then select the MOVE option, which will remove the original library to free up space. In addition, I plan to copy on a regular basis my library full iMovie on an extra disk to backup using the finder.

    Did you find anything in the meantime?

  • Cannot find my external hard drive in file Explorer

    I can find my external hard drive in the Manager, but not when I go to computer

    This usually means that Windows 7 think that the drive is not partitioned or formatted.  This usually happens as a result of any material event on the external device.  The hard drive itself or the case could fail.  What causes this is:

    1. overheating
    2. a bad USB disconnection
    3. Shock, like a drop of water

    If you need to replace, you will find a few tips here: http://canadiantech.info/?page_id=213

    You should be able to re-partition and / or reformat the disk, but all will be lost that was stored on it.  The tools to do this are in computer management, disk management.

    Hello ShamedMonkey,

    Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
    First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
    (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
    Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
    Click on "disk management".
    In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
    FAT32:
    This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
    NTFS
    This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
    Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • Portege R830 - external HARD disk error - "target not found device.

    Hi all

    I recently bought a 1HD R830 which has windows 7 as its OS.
    I have a few old external hard disks that were formatted on windows vista.

    When I try to use it on my new computer it says "target not found device.
    I called support for the external hardrive, who said this is an incompatibility problem and that I would need to re format external hard drives (and therefore lose all about them unless I copied them on a compatible hard drive).
    Is this true?

    Rather than go through the hassle to copy all data to another hard drive is there a way to make my new computer compatible with the external hard drive?

    Your help is very appreciated.

    See you soon,.

  • How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

    My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

    "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

    The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
    Do you know how to do this?

    After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
    Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

    Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
    In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on external HARD disk

    That is the problem.

    A friend with a Toshiba laptop (do not know the model right, but probably with win7 - 6 month old machine) has a problem with the internal hard drive.

    It has the toshiba recovery CD and an external hard drive.
    Is it possible for him to install win 7 on the external hard drive?

    (the easy medium woyld be buying a new in-house but for the next 2 months because of his work that it is impossible).

    Hello

    I don t think that it would be possible to install the Windows 7 external HARD disk.
    You should replace the internal HARD disk and should put the new HARD drive in the laptop.
    Then you should be able to install Windows 7 on the new HARD disc.

  • Return additional ups cannot find my external hard drive.

    I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum meets for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Two, I'm familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 7 years without the 1st problem), and Memeo, which has a 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from

    http://memeo.com . You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

    CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

    http://download.cnet.com/windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar .

    Some of them are free (the last time I checked there over 300), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

    Good luck
