I lost my bookmarks while trying to sync with another device. Can I get them back?

I have tried to sync with a new device. I Had a lot of trouble finding the code which I used last time I synced devices. It seems that I didn't need to do that anymore after signing out and in, it suddenly seemed to work. All the bookmarks that wasn't in folders appered on the new device but the folders didn't. Unfortunately I also pressed the sync button on the old device. Result: the bookmarks that wasn't in folders "returned" to my old device and all the folders are gone.
Since they cootained years of collecting links. I really would like to get them back.
I havn't shot down my device since it happened.
I hope you can help me :-)

hello lisanis, firefox is creating backups of your bookmarks for a certain amount of days automatically. you can press ctrl+shift+B to open the bookmarks library. on the top there is a menu import & backup from where it should possible to restore your bookmarks from a date prior to that sync mishap.

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

    IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083  then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
    If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

    Hi,
    No need to post three times!
    Is iTunes Match still turned on on your iPhone? If not, you need to turn it back on.
    If it is still on, go to settings, music app and turn off match- sign out of iTunes Store. Reboot iPhone, sign back into iTunes and turn on match. Poem music app. Does this help?

  • We lost our yahoo bookmarks when updating to Firefox 8. How can we get them back?

    we updated firefox for yahoo and we have lost our yahoo bookmarks. I can't find them anywhere under bookmarks.

    Tyler,
    No, it isn't, otherwise I wouldn't have lost it all of a sudden. I knew the 27.0.1 update was coming, and thinking back now I think this is what happened:
    I don't think it asked me about import, it just started the automatic import process (with compatibility check). This import process shows a dialogue on-screen, and I think when moving windows around I wasn't expecting that one to come up - as I did not initiate the update process and only very recently modified my preferences to automatically update instead of asking me first (I changed that back already).
    So I guess what happened is that I accidentally cancelled the automatic import process.
    So in that case my question is: Where can I find my pre-update profile?

  • Lost my Camera Raw presets after reloading CC.  How can I get them back into the Camera Raw converter part?

    Sorry can't take an image of the screen and post into here.
    The section in Camera Raw conversion, where it has the Presets section, I have lost my presets.
    Had a computer virus and had to reload everything.
    Can somebody please tell me where I can put my presets into the Photoshop and Lightroom CC section
    so that it will work? 
    Thanks

    Your LR preset folder can be found using:  Edit / Preferences / Presets / Show LR Presets Folder (and there is a Store Presets with Catalog checkbox that you might want to check or uncheck depending on what it was, before).
    Your ACR presets are in a Settings folder next to the Cache folder as shown on this page:

    do you have support store in the algarve as i am not technical

    Ideally you would have backed up your iTunes library from your old PC so that you could simply migrate the iTunes library into the new one. If you don't have access to the old hard drive or a backup see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Though it is probably too late to recover anything from the nano it should explain how to get anything from the iTunes store that you haven't already gone and has some useful tips should  you ever be in the same position again.

  • HT204088 I have reset mt iPad3 and lost my iBooks, books it keeps coming up with error how can I get them back without paying again

    Help anyone please

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic book (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iBook store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    How did it get disabled?
    Are these apps that you paid for or your school paid for? If they are yours make sure you have entered your AppleID in Settings > iTunes & App Store and download them again. You don't have to pay again.

  • Icloud sync has deleted my contacts and replaced them with my husbands, can i get mine back??

    I have just updated my iphone, icloud has been installed and replace all of my contacts with my husbands, can i get them back??

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It sounds like you are turning off syncing (settings > iCloud) rather than back ups.
    Try turning them on again.

  • I reinstalled Firefox and lost bookmarks from my computer, how can I get them back (sync ?)from my android phone ?

    My bookmarks are really gone from my computer but I have them in my android phone.
    I've tried to use this sync but it doesn't work. How can I get them back to the computer from my android phone ?
    I have checked also backup files but they are really gone.

    Hi penami,
    Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you lost your bookmarks. In order to check if they are still there you can look in the profile folder on the computer [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
    As for syncing from the android, it is possible to add the account to the desktop and the two should merge.
