OS X :: Transferring Firefox Profile From XP To Mac?

Oct 30, 2010

I use the latest version of Firefox on an XP machine. I want to transfer my Firefox bookmarks, profile, etc. to a machine running Mac OS 10.3

Are there any snags to look out for since Mac OS 10.3 is a somewhat older operating system?

May 21, 2010

I wasn't aware of the fact that there was a way to export firefox bookmarks until after I formatted my hard drive. However, I backed things up in Time Machine first. Is there a way to somehow get my old bookmarks or is it a lost cause?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Create A New Profile And Basically Move All Documents Over To The New Established Profile?

Apr 19, 2012

I've mitigated my profile from my older iMini to my new iMini.  Everything worked out fine but I've noticed that [on the new imini] I have to input my password twice.  Once I log on and input my password, my profile comes up and ask me again to input the password.  I also have a unsecured startup deice/item (display) message displayed once the system comes up. Can I create a new profile and basically move all my documents over to the new established profile.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Move Profile Data To New Profile?

Apr 5, 2012

my system fonts are jacked up and fill in lines in Safari are not readable as the text is bigger than the fil in window. Also my laptop is running harder, hotter and the battery life is less than half of what it should be. I also get text overlap line to line sometimes in Safari. 

I have restored my OS with a clean install and then recovered my profile from Time Machine, this is how I discovered its my profile. I added a clean profile the first time I rebuilt the mac and it ran much faster, with less hardware usage and longer battery life. Once I began to recover my profile the system was same as always slow with Safari issues mentionee earlier. I switched to the temp user account profile and the system is fast no Safari issues and less intensive activity going on, battery life good etc.  

If I rebuild the mac again I am not able to recover the profile/account without issues, I would like to move just what I need to a new profile/account from Time Machine but it doesn't allow access to the original admin account for a selective restore. I would like to be much more granular about the restore and just move my documents and such. I don't want to recover the applications or application data at this point as I don't need it. I would rather re-install just the apps I need at this time. Other option would be to clean my account/profile so that it runs as it should or move everything I want (mostly documents)  to a new profile for improved use.

MacBook Pro :: Uninstall Firefox 11 And Re-install Firefox 3.6?

Apr 23, 2012

I don't like Firefox 11 one bit and am yearning for 3.6.  I read online to drag firefox 11 to trash and that, of course did nothing to actually uninstall.  I then dowloaded 3.6 and 'installed' that, restarted but still firefox 11 lives on in my computer.

Mac Pro :: How Accurate Is The HP LP3065 Profile?

Feb 14, 2008

Finally got my 8800 Mac Pro today. Not sure how it runs on anything yet as I'm still installing software (decided to play it safe and do everything by 'hand' rather than migration - considering I redid everything on my old computer a month ago when I got Leopard...what's one more time? Plus my old machine wasn't an Intel)

So far I'm loving it. Especially with my HP LP3065. Do have a question, though, on calibration. I looked at "Displays" in System Preferences and was surprised that there was a profile for the HP LP3065 that seems to be newly created (the date is today - 2/14 - at 6am). I'm wondering if that's an accurate calibration or if I should do any tweaking...

Windows On Mac :: How Do I Get My LCD Color Profile Over To XP

May 8, 2008

I installed XP through Boot Camp and the default color profile used just looks like crap. It's really washed out with dull colors and nothing like it is with Leopard loaded. What's the best way to fix that outside of using a monitor calibrator? I tried grabbing some pre-made color profiles off here to use since some of them had a Windows version with the Mac but I went into the color profiles tab in Windows to try and install the profile and when I selected to use it it didn't seem to change anything. I've never changed the LCD color profile in Windows before. Can anyone tell me how you did it?

Just finished the install and I am wowed by the color of my screen. I had been using a custom calibrated profile in Leopard. Snow Leopard defaulted it back and it is MUCH better than what I had. I tested my 'calibrated' profile and it is god awful now.

Anyone else experience a major improvement in color after the upgrade? What could the explanation be for this?

in the near future my iMac 27" will be joined by both a MBP 13" and a MB 13" - we are several users in the house, going to eventually logon to all three machines.

Now, I do not have a server, but is there some way that the users can get the same favorites, personal files - their own and identical homefolder - disregarded where they logon?

OS X V10.4 :: OSX Colour Profile For Screen?

May 1, 2012

I've just bought a 2nd hand Iiyama screen and am finding that 1/4 of the internet has used sRGB attached to its images, which is creating a whole new world of fake tan for me. If I save one of these images and apply the monitors colour profile in Preview the image looks normal, I've also tried to calibrate the display both in Apples Color and via the screens controls - all to no avail. The problem appear to be with the OSX colour profile for the screen? Does anyone know how to override one of these? - and yes I've tried calibrating the current profile and using as many other available in the displays control panel as the OS supplies.

Mac OS X (10.4.11)

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Can't Change Profile Pic?

It seems stuck on the soccerball on the user profile in System Preferences. I've tried changing it to my picture and then tried changing it to one of the dumb icons that come with the system, and still won't change. I did unlock the lock in the lower left corner. I was even allowed to change my login items but I can't change the picture. Any ideas on how to fix this?

OS X :: Can TimeMachine Restore Just One User Profile Instead Of Everything

Dec 4, 2010

what I am trying to do is to take my wife's profile from my iMac and restore it to a MacBook Pro. But the MacBook Pro already has my profile on it and I don't want to screw it up. I'd like to just add her profile to the MBP.

Is there a way in TimeMachine to restore just an individual profile from one machine to another?

However, when I go into my display file and switch between profiles, nothing changes. Also, when I click on different profiles, I get that "bong" sound when I hit the mouse.

MacBook Pro :: Color Profile Was Really Off After Re-install?

Aug 28, 2009

This might be a stupid/silly question, but I'm going to go ahead and ask anyways since it's been bugging me all day.Brand new MBP 13", used the stock 250GB HD for a couple days but decided to get a bigger 7200RPM drive. So I know what the screen looked like with the initial factory install of OS X. Fast forward to later this afternoon after I put in the new drive. I re-installed the OS using a retail copy of Leopard instead of the bundled discs for the 13", and after everything was booted up I noticed the color profile was really off. Colors weren't as vibrant as before, and everything just looked so washed out. I noticed it right away, but did all the system updates to 10.5.8 hoping it was just a glitch. After a restart the colors was still off, and I verified via System Profile to make sure the GPU is being recognized etc.

Convinced myself to re-install this time using the discs that came with the MBP.After everything is installed, the color tones are back; much more vibrant colors and no longer looked washed out.So I guess my question is, is the retail copy of Leopard not installing the correct color profiles? If I was to do a fresh install of SL tomorrow would something similar happen (guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow I guess).

MacBook Pro :: Keeps Forgetting Color Profile

Sep 5, 2009

My MacBook Pro is connected to the LED Cinema Display. Every time it wakes from sleep, or sometimes after screensaver, it forgets the colour profile. I have to go system preferences and click display and then it automatically uses the correct profile. This happens on both the LED display and the MacBook screen. I am running Snow Leopard, and I don't think I had this issue before upgrading. I googled and found one thread on a different forum about the exact same issue, but no answer. [URL:....] Interestingly it was posted before Snow Leopard.
