Only 1/3 of my favorites imported IE. How can I move the rest?

I have a lot of bookmarks into folders hierarchical sometimes 3 deep. Only some of them and the first level of folders, have been imported. How can I get them all? Manually? [Pathetic groan]

I spent about 40 minutes of reading on the bookmarks on the help site. No luck. I tried to import again and received yet again with more files in a hierarchy. Some of the bookmarks are also in the wrong place.

3rd opinion here. It seems that importing function EI when installing Firefox (and from the file > import menu item) has trouble with new versions of IE (like 7, 8 and 9) and configurations of complex cases or several levels that a user can have in Internet Explorer. Export your IE Favorites in the bookmarks.htm format and then import this file into Firefox seem to work much better--nothing seems to get lost. Plus, you end up with a marked folder of Internet Explorer that is to separate the bookmarks saved in Firefox in the future, all IE Favorites shouldn't go by in the main folder in the bookmarks Menu .

If you are a new user of Firefox and do not yet have all the bookmarks saved in Firefox, beyond those that were imported from IE, I think you should use Firefox SafeMode to delete all your bookmarks in Firefox and start over again.
http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/safe+mode

Use the option of safe mode to delete all bookmarks except for backups , and then make changes and restart.

Export your IE Favorites, and then import this file into Firefox, like that.

In Internet Explorer:

File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

then in Firefox:

Bookmarks > show all bookmarks-> import and backup - import HTML... = HTML file

In this way should make sure you don't have a lot of duplicate bookmarks to get rid of, unless you deliberately save duplicate when using IE.

  • How can I move the favorite from the right to the left icon, in Firefox 17,0?

    I went under the screen of options of customization and moved to where I want, but whenever I did the change, the icon is always on the right side of my screen. However I want it on the left so that I opened the files in my favorites all have beautifully. Not every box on top of the other like he is doing. I'm stuck with it on the right, or should I reinstall Firefox?

    You are a new user of Firefox?

    Firefox did that with tabs on the top of the selected page, (for me on Windows XP), since Firefox 4.0 is out. To help customize and move the Bookmarks button works only when the bookmarks toolbar is deselected to appear; displaying the BTB, this button has special properties to force him to appear on the BTB.

    This action only has not bothered me because I have always used the bookmarks bar to view and use my favorites.

  • How can I move the bookmarks from right to left button? Only thing I don't like about 29,0

    I love the new 29,0 in general. Sorry, that is not the menu button, but the button BOOKMARKS I want to move to the left, or at least have the menu drop down go to the Center as the "options menu".

    With bookmarks is displayed on the right side, all the tabs open on the LEFT which is like reading a Chinese newspaper! It would be nice if the display of bookmarks could be "customized" about which side you want to than it falling down.

    Please notify

    Using customization feature, you can drag the button around the toolbar to a more useful location. This article should help you get started: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars. A little luck?

    haben

    Looking at the specs of your camera (SJCam 4000), we already know what video compression your camera uses. It is H.264.

    A H.264.mov file should be accompanied by a first elements 11. On what computer operating system is your first items 11 running?

    You have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, you use QuickTime and first of 11 elements of a

    Account user with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere elements 11 publish + share/computer/QuickTime to confirm that you will find

    presets it to the choice of QuickTime, it.

    What are the properties of these files H.264.mov - is it 1080 p (1920 x 1080 p 30) 30 or something else? Do you know if this device is registering with a variable or

    a constant rate?

    Please check and review and then we'll decide what next.

  • in Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to a group important (in the address book already), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)

    In Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to the large group (already in the address book), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)?

    To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).

    Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

    You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

    *********************

    You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.

    To create a group of contacts:

    You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

    1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
    2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
    3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
    a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
    (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
    to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
    (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
    4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

    Note

    a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
     
    b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

    If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

    Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

  • synchronization: How can I store the mails for different accounts remotely and manually copy the most important e-mails in local folders on both devices?

    Hello. I have two machines and two accounts, so what I want is this:
    I want only to store mail from two accounts in a remote place and copy more important mails to local folders.

             (I will be grateful for any ideas as to where/how this "cloud" can be - specially free places)
             * Can I have a copy of these local folders in both devices and the remote storage?
             * Could i synchronize devices so that: when i move a mail to a local folder in any device, its copied to the same folders in
                the other device and the remote storage place?
             * The remote storage place will have many other folders. When I open Thunderbird, I also want to see these and the mail
                inside, and also be able to move mail from the inbox to these folders.
              * One of the accounts is gmail. In Account Setting tool, there is an option for synchronization. If there is no easier way, I can have mail for other account copied to gmail, and just syncronize gmail mail. For this, how will I copy my present folder structure to gmail. And how can I syncronize the local folders on the two devices?
    

    Thanks in advance.

    The first awkwardness that I see is that there is no clear format in which to store the messages remotely such that you can work with them in an email client. It may be possible to set the option "Local Directory" of the account in Thunderbird to point to a remote folder (DropBox comes to mind) but I've never tried, and I'd be nervous about what happens if the connection cannot be established, or if you happened to access it simultaneously from two different locations. The other concern is that mail stores are fast becoming big, and you would be forever download and download large files (several gigabytes). Thunderbird stores what looks like a folder that contains many messages separated as one big file, so there is no simple possibility of incremental changes to load up/down.

    The idea of local folders in Thunderbird is to detach messages from servers, therefore they do not follow what is happening on the servers. I say this to emphasize the distinction between files stored locally and permanently ("Local Folders"), against copies cached files online ("synchronized"). It is not sure to consider your folders synchronized as permanent.

    So folders synchronized on an IMAP server are "mirrored" in Thunderbird you do not have a local (although temporary and transitional) copy of messages. This is done primarily to avoid download repeatedly the messages if you re-read, and it makes the fastest search more effective. But these "synchronized" track of message that are deployed on the server, and so if they are deleted from anywhere, all devices that are synchronized at one point also see messages deleted endangered. (Except if you have saved a local copy on the local folders account).

    I use a gmail account quite as much as you described; Copy or move messages to this account, so that they are visible in my phone, my tablet, my own laptop and my computer works. It's free, and it is "in the cloud"; the only reservation I have is her private life. There are other suppliers (e.g. 1 & 1/gmx) who do not seem to have the fetish of collecting data that google thrives.

    It's pretty simple to create filters in Thunderbird to automatically copy messages to your account "cloud." even better is to implement the translation of rules on the servers of other accounts, to ensure that your messages are automatically sent and waiting for you when you log in next time, already in the cloud account.

  • How can I move all messages and folders in 'Local folder' in the folder of my main account? The local stuff is to import from Outlook

    I imported my mail from Outlook, and they went into a local folders. I want that they in the main folder for the my account section. How can I move them there?
    For the moment, I create each folder and then copy the contents of one folder to another - crazy, and I have dozens of files

    DOH!

    After spending most of last night slowly moving the files from the Local level to the account that it's a little late for me to go back the other way, but what you suggested looks like it could work.
    Still seems simpler to 'right click' a folder and "move it" and all subfolders to have it move properly as well. Of course your test produces a different result for me. I wasn't able to drag all the folders with the sub folders and the contents of these subfolders go with it, only the contents of the main folder is gone.
    Still, as I said, I have now done most probably time call it a day on this topic and I hope that all similar problems see your answer above - cheers.
