• How can I sync my old computer with my new?

  I have a new computer with the latest firefox browser. Also, my old computer has the latest firefox browser. and I need to synchronize the firefox browser to the latest browser from my old computer. I have implemented the process of synchronization on both old and new browsers. When I try to run the sync on both computers, nothing happens. I need the instructions step by step on how to get everything from old favorites, passwords, history, tabs, add ons, etc to the new computer.

  Thanks, Jennheather

  1. Sync does not transfer the computer to another.
  2. A synchronization server is where are stored the data synchronization - this is the "hub". Data flow 'to' and 'from' the synchronization server.
  3. Best to have the old computer synced to the synchronization server first and then login / connect the new computer for synchronization, at least a few hours later if you have a newly created sync account or have a lot of data stored in Firefox. Thousands of bookmarks.
  4. At this time it is better not to have a mobile device using Firefox for Android connected to Sync then 'add a new device' to an existing synchronization account.

  May be easier to simply transfer your profile from the old computer to the new computer via a USB Flash key with the help of Sync, especially if you are new to using Sync.

  IMO, as long as you do not leave a real old operating system to a real new (such as going from WinXP to 8.1 of Windows or Windows 10) it should be safe to copy all the content of the profile folder and replace existing files that are in the profile that is already on the new computer.

• Clean install Thunderbird on old computer

  Recently, I moved to a new computer and try to clean install Thunderbird on the old computer to another user. I read in this forum to remove the data file that contains all of the old information. I did, but now Thunderbird opens. I get a message telling me that there is no personal data (or words to that effect) to associate with the program.

  I tried to download Thunderbird again, but it will not always be open. I would appreciate help with this, because the person I give the old computer is more eager to start with email on this subject.

  Thank you very much!

  in the race/search on the start menu type
  %AppData%\microsoft\windows\sendto and press enter
  Find the Thunderbird folder in windows Explorer and delete it.

  Then try to run Thunderbird.

• old emails suddenly disappeared after removal of the old computer

  Yesterday, I moved my email account from my old computer OS ubuntu 10.04 to mint17 linux OS computer. I copied the Thunderbird * *.default c/o the profile.ini file. Everything went perfectly with my email account arise with all my emails that dates back a few years. Hearty Pat on the back to Todier when I went to look at the e-mails and found that only one, a new. All other e-mails have disappeared.
  I have read several posts and finally found the 'Archives' button and it installs on the toolbar, but my old emails have not been published in it.
  Can someone please tell me where they are and how I can get back them. The type of server itself has changed IMAP (performed the ubuntu configured Pop3). I'm not good with technical computer language. Thank you.

  Thanks Matt for your reply,
  I watched "Help menu > troubleshotting information and click on the show button to the profile folder" and it's one that I copied on the old computer. The problem comes from Thunderbird automatically configure my new email account with IMAP in my old account (in Thunderbird 1.5) is pop3.

  With the help of:
  https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/email/change-pop3-account-to-imap-or-imap-to-pop3, I have reset the pop3 account and then exchanged against the old profile folder (abc123yz.default) a second time and now I have all my old emails again.
  So problem solved!

• I got a new computer and installed Firefox, but do not know how to transfer Firefox bookmarks on the old computer.

  This must be one of the most common problems that people encounter. We receive all new computers every so often, and we all need to keep the old bookmarks when we get a new computer and install the new browser.

  I feel that I must be among the small minority of people who do not know how to proceed. My old computer is not dead, she's just older (he uses XP). I kept around until I have all the data out. Any help in doing this would be greatly appreciated.

  I am now using Windows 7.

  There are several ways you can do this:

  You can set up Firefox Sync for syncing between computers.
  Edition-> Preferences-> Sync... OR Preferences-> Preferences-> Sync...
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-do-i-set-up-Firefox-sync
  Advantages: Easy to use, once set up, keeps several devices synced
  Cons: Harder to define, requires Internet access, keep track of "Firefox Sync Key."

  You can export/import favorites
  Bookmarks-> show all bookmarks-> import and backup->...
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/export-Firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer
  Benefits: Easier to transfer one time, can be done "offline".
  Cons: Maintain multiple devices synchronized in this way can be time consuming and possibly confuse / boring

• Can not import addresses from the old computer

  I can't import addresses my old computer to the new Thunderbird. The import function simply stops. I waited for her several times, tried twice, abandoned.

  What you are trying to import from?

  Users from a different mail program generally target functions of import in Thunderbird.

  If you move Thunderbird from one computer to another, the best way is to copy the profile to the new computer.

• OLD computer running

  So, I'm running an old computer that I update to a maximum of 10.7.5

  Running iTunes 12.2.2.25.

  iPhone 9.3.2

  I can't sync my music on my iPhone because I can't update my OS past 10.7.5

  Is there a WAY to JUST sync my music from my iPhone or I lose 100's of dollars of music?

  I tried to contact Apple, but by their recommendations, I got nowhere.

  Thanks for the help.

  You did not "lose" your music. It's on your computer. I have several VCR tapes. I have not "lost" them, I don't have a VCR anymore.  You can always play your music on your computer, on a car player that plays files in AAC format, on any player who plays any format you can convert.  You can't just synchronize with your gadget.  The world is not over.

  Your mistake is not realizing that Apple is working with a mobile time window on 5-7 years.  Never buy anything if she is to use software or hardware that is different from any other part of your computer system more than 7 years.  iOS9 requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn works only with computers that can run Cougar or higher.

  It is not an ideal solution for you. You can subscribe to Match iTunes and use iCloud as your storage space central sync.  Older versions of iTunes are still functioning with iCloud.

• I can't find my outlook express address book after you migrate successfully from the old computer. The "Address book" tab shows that local address book empty.

  I move from a Windows XP computer to a Windows 7 computer. My old computer has Outlook Express. I've migrated successfully my emails and messages archived in Thunderbird on the new computer. I also migrated the Outlook Express address book using an external hard drive, but I was not able to understand how to find the Outlook Express address book in Thunderbird. The only way that I could find the Outlook Express address book, is to go to 'tools' and 'import' and then import the Outlook Express address book. When I do this, the Outlook Express address book features, duplicate entries (because I imported twice now). When the Outlook Express address book shows, it works without problems and I can use it to send emails. But once I close the Outlook Express address book, I can't find him. Other messages, I see that the "Address book" tab in Thunderbird should open a window containing a list of available on the left side address books. But this window in my computer does not display a list of address books. There is just a blank window for the address book personal (it has no contacts inside) and there is nothing on the left side.

  in the display (alt + V) address book menu > layout > directory pane.

• Having trouble downloading from the old computer, load up on the new computer.

  I need help. Just bought a used computer and I am trying to download some of the info on my old computer (WINDOWS 7) to a flash drive.
  My son started the process, but had to go. When I'm home, there was a message window that says something could not be completely down and I wanted to jump, try again or delete.
  I chose to ignore it, then the window came again and I chose ignore. Then closed the message window and I think that the computer quit downloading.
  Now I don't know where I stand on the load down. Are we doing or is there more to load and I don't know what to do.
  When I plugged the flash back in the context menu on the screen offered only import options, no download option.

  Sound in full download
  You must download the file again

• After having successfully imported the My Favorites in Firefox Sync from my old computer to new computer, can I purge the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new

  I want to update my computer and made a Windows Easy Transfer to my new. My Firefox Favorites do not show on my new computer so I used Firefox Sync, which worked well. Now that I have the bookmarks on the new computer, I can delete the old computer and keep the bookmarks on the new.

  First, unplug your old computer of Firefox Sync, so you do not accidentally delete data synchronization, but yes, you should be good to go.

• I am trying to recover my old favorites (and, hopefully, history) from my old computer to transfer to my new computer.

  I got the hard drive from my old computer and am trying to transfer my old files to it, but I'm not sure where to find the old bookmarks files. It would be wonderful if you could also help to recover the history - I was in the habit of keeping a large number of tabs open and simply restore everytime I restarted my computer, so a lot of data was lost when my computer crashed.

  Hello

  If the backup files are intact, then you would be able to copy the files required in the backup after installing Firefox and it works at least once in the new PC.

  Backup

  Firefox profile folder

  You must copy and overwrite the files needed from the old profile folder in the same folder structure in the new profile. Some important files might be places.sqlite who holds the bookmarks and history, the cert8.db that stores personal and other certificates, signons3.txt + signons.sqlite that stores websites registered names to user/passwords etc. To open the profile folder, in Firefox, help (Alt + H) > troubleshooting information > Open the containing folder and the release of Firefox.

• new computer - how to get the old computer firefox bookmarks

  I had to buy new computer cause the old one does not stay on, and I want / need to get all my info from Firefox - bookmarks etc... on my new computer. I had everything backed up (supposedly) on a WD external drive and I can't have information out of it either. My other computer was 5 years old and I used Firefox from the start, so there is a lot of info that I desperately need.

  If you still have this old computer, remove the hard drive and put it in a USB drive enclosure - (should be available at most stores that sell new computers) and recover your data from the old hard disk Firefox.

• I have blown my motherboard on an old computer and hooked up my old hard drive to the new computer and want to transfer my favorites on the new drive but cannot find where they are located on the old drive - any help?

  My motherboard went bad on my old computer, but the hard drive was OK. I bought a new computer and plugged my old hard drive to it via a usb adapter. I would like to import or copy my favorites from the old hard drive to my new, but I can't find where they are. I was unable to determine the search for articles on the web. Be advised that my old hard drive is basically nothing more than a place of storage for files at this point. My old operating system is windows XP, and my new system is Windows Home Premium.
