The profile from PC to Mac migration failed.

I recently made the switch from PC to Mac and can't get my Firefox data migrated. I prefer to be able to transfer the profile if possible (instead of using the synchronization), because the sync transfer my modules. The information that I find in the knowledge base seem to date, so I don't know what the problem is.

I was using the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7. I am now using MacOS Yosemite (regardless of the version that is; I don't am not very savvy Mac yet). I copied the entire Mozilla from AppData folder and crushed the Mozilla folder on my Mac with it, but Firefox is acting like I did nothing - I still have just a basic, clean install. I don't know why it is not reading the data that I copied, because I copied this, INI files and everything.

Profiles.ini should be compatible, but the structure of folders on Mac is maybe different on Mac.

Also be sure to check the permissions of files and folders (read/write access).

You should find the file profiles.ini in this hidden place:

  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
    * C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.
  • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/

It is always better to let Firefox create a new default profile (delete profiles.ini to force a new default profile) and copy only the minimum of files.

  • How can I change the software from windows to mac?

    I use a MAC, but already bought my design from adobe creative suite standard for a windows computer. Is it possible that I can change the licenses from windows to MAC, so I can continue to use it without having to pay for another sequel?

    They only allow swaps of platform for the latest version.  CS6 would be the last, but I don't know if they still offer the opportunity to Exchange.  You can apply and see.  Click on the following link:

  • change the system of the computer (from pc to mac) what to do with my creative cloud abo

    Hello

    I changed my computer system (from pc to mac). What shal, I do with my creative cloud abo?

    is it possible to change easily? I have read that I need different memberships for various systems?

    Thanks for the reply

    Hello

    You can actually have installed creative cloud and on two computers, signed as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

    You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here:
    Creative cloud help | Creative cloud desktop.

    After you install the creative Cloud desktop application, you will need to sign in with a login password and Adobe. Then you can install applications. This link provides more information and step by step instructions, if you need: CC help | Download, install, update or uninstall applications

    Hope this helps!

  • swap the platform from PC to MAC

    CONNECTION ID [deleted by Moderator] I want to make a platform swap on behalf of my wife, Nancy. I boought the product 'Design and Web Prem CS6' and now I want to switch from PC to Mac. I heard you can do this time. Can you please make the switch? I talked to someone in 2014 (#0213113236) and today I talked to [deleted by Moderator] to this topic. He said that you could help me on this. Please update my account for Mac. Thank you. Tristan

    No member of these forums can do for you.  These are mainly user-to-user forums but even a few employees of Adobe participating here to help have no to make the Exchange.

    You can exchange languages/platforms for a newer version product if you follow the instructions on the following link:

  • White lines appear on the videos from my new Mac Pro - why?

    Hello

    I am the proud owner of a Mac Pro 2.7 GHz 12 - Core Intel Xeon E5 / 64 gig RAM / 2 X AMD over-pants D700 6144 MB running on OS X 10.9.3 (13 D 65).

    I use the last CC version, but also Red Giant Magic Bullet LOOKS to color grade my videos (on an adjustment layer). I have 3 HDD (1 SSD in the computer with the programs + 1 external (Thunderbold) G-RAID for cache files + 1 external Pegasus R6 2 (Thunderbolt 2) for images).

    Sometimes, when reading (but more often during export into Media Encoder) white lines appear on the video (see image below). Why?

    Is this a problem first? Is something wrong with my Mac? I reinstalled everything from scratch but the problem remains...

    I worked with the same programs on my previous iMac and I didn't have this problem.

    Any idea?

    It is a problem that is known at this stage and is still under investigation by the folks at Adobe.  As they work through it, move your projects to the software rendering and move the SOUL to software exports.  It may take longer to work through things, but you avoid the strange lines.

  • Download the profile from an image

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a way to get the profile of an image in a PDF document.

    I already know tools like Acrobat preflight... But I can't get my PDF summary RGB images or not.

    I'm looking for a tool return images ICC profile (to RGB, 1988 Adobe, etc.).

    Does anyone have an ideas?

    Thank you very much.

    Good bye

    Acrobat X or XI, choose Tools > print > overview of the release. In the preview pop-up menu, select Object Inspector. Click on the image and you can read all about the image you need, including ICC profile.

  • The transition from iPhoto (old Mac) to Photos (new Mac) - advice?

    Just bought a new MBP and all OS improvements that accompany it. Still using 10.9.x on my old unit and have migrated manually everything that I need, except my pictures. To make matters a little more difficult, I used iPhotoBuddy as well, so I have several libraries. Anyone have advice on how to manually transfer the files to the new MBP less difficult/most effectively?

    All advice appreciated. Thank you.

    1 - sure iPhoto 9.6.1

    2 - notes on the migration of an iPhoto for iPhoto to Photos for Mac library

    3. There is no way to merge libraries with Photos (or iPHoto) - you can on your old system using Aperture or iPhoto Library Manager or on the new system using PowerPhotos - or you can continue to use the libraries under Photos mutiple (usually not a good idea, but if you like it you can)

  • move the license from PC to Mac?

    I have 9 Captivate on my work PC, but our team has recently turned to the MacBook. I don't need to use Captivate on both platforms, so I want to uninstall it from the computer and install it on my Mac instead. Can I do this without having to purchase a new subscription? If so, do I need to download a Mac version, after that I uninstalled the PC version?

    Hi Kendra,

    Greetings...!

    If you have an annual subscription to Adobe Captivate 9 then you can use the same subscription on MAC as well. You must launch Adobe Captivate 9 on the Windows machine and then go to help > sign out. Once you click on logout, it will disable Captivate 9 on the Windows machine.

    You can then download Adobe Captivate 9 for MAC and activate it using your Adobe ID

    You can download the MAC version from the following link: Download Adobe Captivate free trial | Adobe Captivate 9

    Download the MAC version and activate it during installation using your Adobe ID

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Kind regards

  • Transfer the profile from one hard disk to another without launching Firefox or the operating system.

    I just got a new laptop because my old card mother fried on my desk. The old master by car is very good and I have a transfer kit that I can use to transfer some files I need. I can't figure out how to transfer my Firefox profile on the new laptop computer. I can not locate where the files I need transfer and do not know what files those who would. Only article I could find here requires being able to either launch Firefox or the operating system. I can't do either so help please.

    Thank you!

    Stacy

    You will need to take ownership of the files if you do not have permission to copy files. You need to do when running Windows Explorer as an administrator.

  • Debate on the transition from PC to Mac?

    Hello

    I'm debating the passage of the PC to the Mac, but I currently use CS5 and Lightroom 5. Is it possible to make a Swap of platform? I'd HATE to buy CS6 (and Lightroom, if applicable) on top a $2500 upgrade on a computer... Help, please!

    Kristi

    Yes, you will need to go through the upgrade to Mac CS6 for $200, but the Lightroom license is also for the Mac and you can activate it using your current serial number.
