Note that is can take some time to transfer all your personal data. Best is to leave the computer idle for some time.

You can open about:sync-log via the location bar to see if there are recent error logs available in case there is a problem. You can upload a recent log if the log is too big to put in a reply.

I did as you said and I can see my new stuff on the old pc but can't find the bookmarks on my new pc. Seems like the old one synced but the new one has not. Could they be somewhere other than the bookmarks menu?

It is possible that there is a problem with the places.sqlite database.

what is the full path of your profile shown in the root folder column as shown on the about:profiles page?
