I have just bought a new Mac computer.

Is it possible to transfer my long list in my bookmarks on Google Chrome from my Lenova computer?

Thanks

    Thank you Frugal.

    Does that mean I won't have to enter passwords again, like Facebook, AOL etc. on the new computer?
  • Hi,
    might have to on first use, but you should get option to 'remember password'.

    If you log in to Google Chrome on your old computer and allow sync, then do the same on the new one, everything including bookmarks and passwords will all sync to the new Mac.

    You ought to use a password manager though, not the browser

    hi thanks for your replies.

    I transferred the bookmarks but I have to enter all the passwords again.

    I have just looked again on the old computer.

    It just says export to a new folder.

    Nothing about sync or password manager.
  • You can export all your saved password to a csv file.

    Hi again

    Sorry to be a nuisance.

    I transferred all my bookmarks and was good.

    Except I play Premier League Fantasy Football.

    When I try to log in on the Mac I am getting Your clock is ahead.

    I cannot log in and get my team and make transfers.

    I find Google to be really good in situations like this.

    https://macresearch.org/how-to-fix-clock-error-on-mac/
    1. Check the Time & Date settings.
    2. Checking the Language & Region settings.
    3. Manually setting Date and Time.
    4. Clear browser data.
    5. If the “Your clock is ahead” message doesn't go away.
    Maybe worth a try and then report back if still having problems.
