Safari or Internet Explorer from the pop-up menu. Click Apply to sync.
• On the Mac, turn on Sync Safari bookmarks and click Apply.
And what if Mozilla’s Firefox browser is your preferred window to the Web?
You can still get those favorites moved over to the iPhone. But you’ll have to
do it the long way—by importing bookmarks from Firefox into Safari. And
while this setup will get your bookmarks onto the iPhone, it won’t establish
a living, two-way sync; new bookmarks you add on the iPhone won’t get
synced back to Firefox.
Still game? Here’s how you play it:
• Windows. Download a free copy of Safari at www.apple.com/safari, start
it up, and let it import your Firefox bookmarks during the setup process.
Once it does, press Ctrl+Alt+B to show all your bookmarks, weed out the
ones you don’t want, and then set the iPhone to sync with Safari.
• Macintosh. You already have a copy of Safari. If you have your whole
bookmarked life in Firefox, grit your teeth and open that dusty Safari
anyway, and then choose the FileÆImport Bookmarks. Navigate to
your Firefox bookmarks file, which is usually in your Home folderÆLibraryÆApplication
SupportÆFirefoxÆProfilesÆweird scrambled name
like e9v01wmx.default folder. Inside, double-click the file called bookmarks.html.
You’ve just imported your Firefox bookmarks. Now, in Safari, press c-
Option-B to show all your bookmarks on screen. Delete the ones you
don’t want on the iPhone, and then set the iPhone to sync with Safari.
Actually, most other browsers can export their bookmarks. You can use that
option to export your bookmarks file to your desktop, and then use Safari’s
FileÆImport Bookmarks command to pull it from there.
