In the menu bar when I hit bookmark my list of saved bookmarks is missing. when I bookmark a page I don't know where they go.

my ISP sent me a fine tune disc after I ran it i could no longer find my lists of saved bookmarks. bookmark tab is there but when I click on it and the menu drops down it's gone How do I get it back. Also when I try to bookmark a page it goes through the process, the window opens I hit save but when I look for it on the bookmark menu it doesn't exist. Most add-ons, and plug ins were turned off. My yahoo tool bar is missing. I haven't tried it but am thinking worst case try system restore

A system restore won't help with corrupted files in hte [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].
With so many problems it would be best to create a new profile.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    I do have the old computer's disk drive.

  • I can't access my pictures anymore through iPhoto because I simply don't know where they are stored when imported into iPhoto. The library used automatically before is not shown anymore. Can anyone help me to recover all my pictures?

    I had some problems with my MacbookPro and did some clean up and further back-up (time machine already in place for a long time). Now, suddenly I can't access my pictures anymore through iphoto asking me for a library (never asked for before) and I have no clue where the pictures are actually saved when imported in iphoto. Can anyone help me recover my pictures, such as telling me WHERE the pictures are actually stored? Thank you so much!

    I had some problems with my MacbookPro and did some clean up
    A critical question - exactly what "clean up" did you do and how?
    Do you have an iPhoto library in yoru pictures folder? If you depress and hold the option key and launch iPhoto - what do you see in the select library window? Select each library there and see what you have

  • I have messed up the settings on my Mighty Mouse and don't know where they should be.  I cannot open a document by double-clicking anymore.  I don't know what setting adjusts that.

    I need help with my Mighty Mouse settings.  Don't understand the settings.  I can no longer open a document by double-clicking.  I think I changed my setting someway when I was trying to correct or find my up and down scrolling.   Please help. 

    I think you need to un-pair your mouse.   Leave it a few minutes than re-pair it as if you were starting from scratch and using the following details.   Item 1 will probably meet your needs.

  • I have an ipad2 and logic pro 9 but my iPads GarageBand exports but 1. Logic cannot find it and the files are hidden so I don't know where they are ,  I've looked all over my iTunes structure which is easy since I just installed everything and it's empty

    So yea title says it all
    Logic doesn't see the GarageBand files and neither do I .... So I reattempt saving it and my iPad sees the files there so .... They're there
    But you shouldn't need GarageBand to access it on my Mac IF I OWN LOGIC PRO

    Hi
    With your iPad connected, open iTunes & select the iPad
    Select the Apps tab, and scroll down to File Sharing.
    Select the GB songs you wish to get onto the Mac and click "Save to"
    By default, these seem to go to <User> Documents, but you could save them anywhere (Check where you setup is saving them).
    Open Logic, and then File:Open
    Navigate to wherever you saved your GB songs to, and select one. Open it
    Logic prompts you to save this new project somewhere... done.

  • How do I reset Mozilla so that I can get the menu bar back. Top of browser page is missing?

    Top of browser page is not showing tool bar.

    Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar. Firefox 4+ versions have an orange Firefox button that shows when the Menu bar is hidden.
    Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

  • When is select Bookmarks from the Menu Bar, at the very bottom are a bunch of bookmarks. How can I move them in groups to a folder?

    When is select Bookmarks from the Menu Bar, at the very bottom are a bunch of bookmarks. How can I move these in groups to a folder or folders?

    The easiest way to move bookmarks around is in the Bookmarks Organizer, which at some point was renamed the Library. To open it, you can choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks or press Ctrl+Shift+b.
    (Please note that the sort order of the Library dialog doesn't actually carry over to the menu. To sort the menu alphabetically, it's easiest to open the Bookmarks Sidebar, right-click the words Bookmarks Menu and choose Sort by Name.)

    Safari problem:  when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows.  What's going on?  Just started yesterday.  I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
    I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success.  What's going on and how can I fix it?
    Thanks,

    PS:  I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

    A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    As for which OS X is installed.
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    The version is noted there.
    v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion  v10.8 Mountain Lion
    It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

    After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • All I get in the menu bar when I open Firefox IS "Firefox"--no bookmarks, no nothing. How canI get bookmarks back and Firefox functioning.

    I have used Firefox forever. (I also use Thunderbird.) When I opened Firefox all I get now in the menu bar is the word "Firefox" with the "About Firefox," "Preferences," etc. list. Nothing else. I cannot open Firefox and I cannot quit it, either. I can do nothing with it at all. How can I get it back. I need my hundreds of bookmarks.
    I use a MAC with Lion 10.7.5
    Please help. Thank you.

  • When safari is in full screen mode and I move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar and the bookmark bar, it does nothing.  Is anyone else having this issue?

    When safari is in full screen mode and I move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar and the bookmark bar, it does nothing.  Is anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks

    I just tested that since I hardly ever use full screen mode, this was the first time since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and it worked fine for me.
    Try shutting Safari down and see if that changes anything.
    If that doesn't change anything, try shutting down and then rebooting.

  • Mozilla crashed yesterday and now bookmarks are not showing along the left side of page as they did before. They are on the menu bar but hubby does not like this location. Anyway I can get it back to the left side of the page?

    This spring we changed from IE to Mozilla after upgrading to Win 7. Everything has been fine with Firefox until yesterday when it crashed when I attempted to open an email. Since then the bookmarks (or favorites as my husband calls them) have not been in their usual place which was along the left side of the page. They are located in the Bookmarks bar at the top of the page but husband prefers the old IE way which we had until yesterday PM. Is there any way that we can get them back to the left side of the page other than going back to IE? Now that I have gotten used to Firefox I like it just fine.

    *You can open the Bookmarks in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > Bookmarks (Ctrl+B)
    *You can open the History in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > History (Ctrl+H)
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    You can find toolbar buttons to open the bookmarks (star) and the history (clock) in the sidebar in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar.<br />
    Firefox 4 versions and later have two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
    One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.<br />
    The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.<br />

  • How can I click on "Bookmarks" in the Menu bar and it simply display my actual bookmarks rather than making me open another window and search for it?

    Just dl FF 6.x. I finally found the Bookmarks drop down by adding the Menu bar. Now, I want to click on "Bookmarks" and then simply scroll down my list of bookmarks in the dropdown. As it stands now, I have to click on "Show All Bookmarks" or "Unsorted Bookmarks" just to be able to get to my bookmarks. A huge wate of time and effort. Any way to do this like the "old way". Or I as I say it, the way that works?

    The Bookmarks sidebar is the same organization PLUS providing the same ability to search on strings within titles and url as you have on the Location Bar drop-down (AwesomeBar features).
    To see the same on the sidebar
    * Bookmarks Toolbar - - don't expand
    * Bookmarks Menu -- Expand just one level, collapse sub-levels below that -- looks same
    * Unsorted Bookmarks -- don't expand
    Same organization, don't see how you can be lost. You may prefer the always collapsed Bookmarks (menu).
    To put things back to how you were used to, which is more efficient and takes up the same amount of space if you use styling in addition to steps 1-10 when compared to the inadequately featured poorly designed 4.0 style.
    You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
    There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox even more functional.

  • I lost the bookmarks drop-down on the menu bar

    == Issue
    ==
    I have a problem with my bookmarks, cookies, history or settings
    == Description
    ==
    I have Firefox 3.5.10. Somehow, I managed to click on "hide this folder?" while I was trying to organize my bookmarks, and now I can't get the folder back onto the menu bar. I am able to access them via the sidebar, but I prefer the drop-down menu.
    I have already tried View>Toolbars>Customize. There is no icon for "bookmarks" for me to add; there doesn't appear to be any way to add/delete menu bar items. Besides, I really don't want to restore the default after having customized it.
    Any clue????
