RE: Getting Internet Explorer Favorites in to Safari

2017-06-30 Thread Simon Fogarty 
Hi Brian,

As a windows user I can tell you that moving favourites from IE on one machine 
to another can be done by going into c: then users and under the profile 
username and copying the favourites folder to a USB flash drive and then 
pasting that folder in to the same location on the other machine,

 So if you can grab the folder of favorites from the windows machine, 
Is there a folder you can paste those favorites into on the mac to get safari 
to see them?

 Surely there is some way of this being done.

Subject: Re: Getting Internet Explorer Favorites in to Safari

So far, all of my Google searches have come up empty on an alternative way of 
getting the favorites in to Safari.  It seems that unless they’re exported out 
of IE, then there’s no way to get them into Safari.  I would have thought that 
someone would have come up with some kind of third party app to handle the 
conversion process.  Oh well.

Blessings,

Brian

Re: Getting Internet Explorer Favorites in to Safari

2017-06-30 Thread John Panarese 
   As far as I know and as far as I've done it for myself and other people is 
to export the favorites from IE and import the file. I've been told by a friend 
who is an IT person that you can copy the favorites folder from the Windows 
side and then choose the import option from Safari and select all of the 
favorites from the folder to get them into Safari. I have never tried this 
approach, so I cannot say with any certainty if it truly works.

The long way of doing it is just click on each individual one and add them to 
favorites in safari, otherwise, he would have to get a friend with a PC and 
export those favorites to a HTML file and then import them into safari.

Re: Getting Internet Explorer Favorites in to Safari

2017-06-29 Thread Larry Thacker Jr. 
There might be a better way, but all I can think of would require a friend with 
Windows willing to help.  Windows 7 retains this scheme and I think Windows 10 
does as well but I didn’t use that for long so I am not completely certain.  If 
the favorites were copied to a subfolder under the favorites on another Windows 
instance, then I think Chrome or Firefox would be able to import them.  They 
could then be exported again to a bookmark file that Safari can import.  But 
before going to all that trouble I’d just do a search of the web and see what 
turns up.
