I had to restore my computer to its original settings after a crash. I backed up my files before hand so I didn't lose data in memory. When I ran Firefox from it, my bookmarks are gone. How can I get them back if I can?

My computer had trouble starting for a long time. Taking it to the shop didn't help. Today it just wouldn't start at all. In a desperation move I restored it to its original settings as if I just bought it. I chose the backup files version so that I didn't lose any data in memory, though I do have to restore some settings. When I ran Firefox all my bookmarks are gone. Everything is in the My Backup folder. How can I get my bookmarks back if I can?

As always, iphone will sync with one comptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content. You should keep everything on your computer and should always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

Well, when you restore your ipad, there is really no way to get the information back. The reason you restore it i to get all of the information off of it. Why did you restore it if you wanted to keep the info?
Aa far as I know, there is no way to un-restore any device. But, you can put the info back onto the device if it was on your computer, etc.
Sorry...

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Aren't those the default games that come with the iPod Classic? If so, they won't be in your iTunes library, but only on your iPod Classic itself as they are built in the iPod's software.

Aren't they in your iTunes library? If so, sync them back to your phone. If not, redownload them (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

My contacts are gone, how do I get them back?

my contacts were in my phone and 5 minutes later i went to send a message and went into my contacts and I didnt have any at all? how do i get them back?

If you were syncing them with iCloud (and not another service like Gmail, Yahoo or and exchange account), and they are no longer on icloud.com, you would have to restore them from a backup source to get them back. If your only backup is your iCloud backup, you may be able to restore them by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Hi elyyong,
Please see these articles: [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]], [[Back up your bookmarks or move them to another computer]].
I think the restore section in the 2nd article will be of most help.
Post back if not.

Hi Joe,

I Installed ios6 on my iPad and now all my calendar items are gone. I tried deleting my email account and adding it back in but still no calendar items

I had the same problem on my iphone 4s and before I had realized it my phone synced up with my computer and deleted all the appointments in my outlook calendar as well. I run microsoft exchange and unfortunately my ISP doesnt backup for me so I am left reconstructing my calendar from scratch. Apple support said they had no idea why this had happened and couldnt help me. Not very reassuring.

I just allowed new Firefox to install itself. All my fast dial places are gone. how do I get them back?

about 25 essential fastdial locations are gone from any tab I open or hitting the fastdial button.
Just now, this morning, when I allowed firefox 5 to install itself.

Is the extension disabled, is it up-to-date, are you in the same profile
* * Fast Dial :: Add-ons for Firefox<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fast-dial-5721/
I don't like the url naming of the addons the numbers alone better identified things.
