OS X :: Transfer Favorites From PC To New 27" IMac?
Oct 22, 2009
We're using Mobile Me but I can't seem to get the Bookmarks to update from her iphone 3GS. Everything updates fine in Mobile Me. How can I get the favorites from out old PC onto this shiny new 27" iMac?
Firefox has been pissing me off lately, I wanna give Safari a go-around. How can I transfer my favorites. I saved my favorites from Firefox in the normal, .json format, but Safari doesnt not recognize that type of file.
I find when opening Safari that the first screen that appears is the 'favourites' and i find this most irritating. How do I delete it or at least stick it somewhere it doesn't keep appearing and bug me.
I Do Not care for this huge box that pops up now when I do a search on Safari. I wish they would not have added this lame duck that always seems to be in the way. How to get rid of this albatross?
The Mini Has Some Great Software On it, Could i Use Migration Assistant To Transfer The Programs To My iMac Without Losing My Data On My iMac? Or is There Any Other Way?
My old G4 iMac 20 is being given to an relative and I need to transfer files, addresses, bookmarks, etc. to my iMac 24 intel. Both Macs have OSX 10.4.11. What is best method to transfer data?
Also, how difficult to change the name who owns the iMac as well as the password?
I would like to add certain frequently used sites on the tool bar. I have been using Snow Leopard in the past and now I can't figure out how to do it with Mavericks.Â
I am really tired of the "Favorites" drop down pad showing up whenever I am entering a search in the URL bar on Safari. Is there any way to turn the function off? It appears that the preferences function only allow you to choose the files you want to show up, and the number. This function needs an on/off switch.
I am looking for the equivalent of the windows favorites folder in Mac. Can you tell me where all the links are stored. ( Like when I like a site I add to the favorites in Mac), where is the folder where they are stored?
In FINDER favorites can I reassign/edit the destination (properties) so that when I click e.g. on the "Pictures" link it takes me to my Pic folder on my external HDD instead of the default HDD in the iMac. I have twelve TB of data sitting on 2 Drobo devices and I do not intend to keep any data on the Internal 1TB HDD besides the programs. I know I can remove the current fav from the list and add a link myself but then I get an ordinary folder icon instead of the sexy camera icon. how can I change the icon on the folder.Â
Am I missing something in the App Store or is there not a way to make a "favorites list"? I see so many apps I would like to use or at least read more about and not necessarily download right away. I don't see a way to add an app I like to any sort of list, perhaps an "App Wishlist". When you shop at just about any online store, you are offered the option to "Add item to Wishlist" or "Save for Later".Â
I added some folders in finder sidebar a while back, and suddenly, they disappeared, such as the documents shortcut. When I try to put them back, finder removes it again.Also if I go to Finder - Preferences and try to check the documents shortcut to appear in sidebar again, the checkbox doesn't work. I'm pretty sure this happened after I synchronized my iPhone for the first time. How can I add favorites to the finder sidebar again?
In the Finder window you can create Favorites - folders you want easy access to. Now I'm ready to delete a few of these "Favorites". The Finder doesn't seem to want me to. It seems to want to trash the actual folders that these finder favorite aliases are pointing to. How do I delete a Finder Favorite?
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), 20" Apple Cinema Screen, Safari 5., Mail, Address Book 5.
How can I get my "Favorites" from my PC onto my iMac. Have, migrated them successfully but cannot get at them so as to put them in my iMac "Bookmarks". I have migrated all my software and this is showing on my iMac. But I cannot get my Favorites or also all my emails and their folders to work on the iMac. Have been using Yahoo mail on the PC.
how do I get my safari favorites from my powerbook (OSX leopard) to my new mbp (snow leopard)? Is there a folder that I go to & get them, then go to file import on safari?
