I am currently trying to migrate my Google Chrome profile from my PC to my new Macbook. I have done the following:
- Backed up the "User Data" from the PC to a network share;
- On the Mac I installed Chrome (same version), opened and initialized a Profile;
- In Finder (with Library display turned on), renamed the Default folder to Default.orig;
- Extracted the "Default" folder from the ZIP created in Step 1 to the directory on the Mac. Specifically this folder is
~/Library/Application Support/Chrome
I restart Chrome and it almost works! I see all my open tabs and my history looks fine, however here's the kicker: All of my Extensions show as place-holders and don't actually load (or work).
I am wondering if there is a way to get this to work or if I should just stick to building a new profile under OS X.
Great post, thanks! I am using the sync feature it is just that I wanted to bring all of Extension settings along with me :) – StanD – 2013-01-19T08:01:11.533
Ah, well, extensions configuration are saved on local storage which are files saved on the
Local Storage
folder. Each extension (that has any configuration saved) has 2 files calledchrome-extension_XXXXXX_0.localstorage
andchrome-extension_XXXXXX_0.localstorage-journal
whereXXXXXX
is the name of the folder where the extension is, inside the folderExtensions
. Try just replacing those. – Martín Canaval – 2013-01-19T08:35:16.017Again, thanks! Will try that out and follow up. Thanks Martin! – StanD – 2013-01-19T17:59:32.837
