My previous session disappeared when I updated, how can I get it back?

If you go to the History menu, is "Restore Previous Session" available? You can check that either:
* "3-bar" menu button > History
* classic menu bar: History
If it's grayed out, then that's a bad sign.
Do not close Firefox. First, try to rescue the following files:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button.
In the window that launches, scroll down:
(1) Double-click into the '''sessionstore-backups''' folder. Anything from the relevant date/time? If so, copy it to a safe location such as your Documents folder or Desktop.
(2) Back at the main level, scroll down to the sessionstore file(s). Same question. If so, copy it to a safe location such as your Documents folder or Desktop.
The kinds of files you may find among your sessionstore files are:
* sessionstore.js and recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your currently live Firefox session (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
* recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
* previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last Firefox session; sessionstore.bak for pre-33 versions of Firefox
* upgrade.js-''build_id'': the windows and tabs in the Firefox session that was live at the time of your last update; sessionstore.bak-''datetime'' for pre-33 versions of Firefox
If you come up with something promising, you may be able to have Firefox use it for your next session (details if relevant).

My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP.

My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP. I never did anything to make this happen.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.

My music has disappeared from my library, how can I get it back?

The music I have purchased from the itunes store has disappeared from my library, how can I get it back?

There is a way of getting your music back if you have purchased it - go to the itunes store, click "purchased" under the "quick links" on the right hand side of the page, near the top, and then it allows you to re-download anything that you have purchased under that apple id. Phew! Over 200 songs - I'm glad i found this out!

My Muse Application disappeared after installing update, how do I get it back?

I did some updates via Adobe Application Manager while installing a XI pro and when it was complete, I went to open Muse and it was gone... how do I get it back? When I go to download it again it takes me to the Adobe Application Manager where it lists 17 apps, Muse is one of them that says "installed" but it is not anywhere on my computer. I'm on a iMac with 10.8.2. Thanks, Stacey

@Stacy,
I had a similar issue that I think was caused because I still had the Beta of Muse "installed" on my iMac running 10.8.2 and not the current live version of Muse.
I used the Adobe Application manager to install Muse and other apps after I joined Creative Cloud in September. It completed and said I had Muse installed, but in reality I believe it was still only the Beta. I realized all of this this Sunday Oct 30, 2012. I scoured the machine to make sure only the Beta was on my machine and that was correct. Until I deleted the Beta and restarted I could not get the "installed" status to be corrected. However, once it was corrected I could not get the Adobe Application "installer" for Muse to become active. Going to Adobe.com to get the Muse installer yielded a result where I could not get the official installer to work while I was logged in. Logging out, I was able to download a trial installer but it took 3 tries before it installed, citing a broken installer. Since that point however, Muse has worked just fine and it synced up with my Creative Cloud account.

I had the 1Password icon on my toolbar but it disappeared after an update. How do I get the icon back to the toolbar. I have tried all of the help instructions but none have worked.

In Safari preferences extensions or extension gallery, its there and you should re-enable or re-install as long as you have it purchased from Mac App Store.

My iPhoto library just disappeared... How can I get it back

I had an old Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard, but when I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard I didn't reinstall iLife to save space. As a result I had a folder named iPhoto Library left over from the reinstall and no iPhoto application.
Now I just got a new Macbook Pro with Lion and the folder transferred over with all the images and software on the new computer. Everything was fine and the pics were still in a folder named iPhoto, sorted by year, etc as they were when I had iLife last. I wanted to open up the new iPhoto application that came with my new computer and sort through my photos as opposed to using Finder like I had been doing in the past few years without iLife.
Somehow the folder icon named iPhoto Library has changed and the icon representing the same location on my hard drive is now an application icon and not a folder icon. In addition when I open up the app and try and import photos to iPhoto, I can't because the library is not recognized as an app and not a folder.
I have these images backed up on a portable hard drive, but how can I recover them without using that method? In finder it says my iPhoto library is 4.4 GB in size, so I know the images are there somehow, but how can I open them in the iPhoto application? I can't open the finder folder any more.
Thanks.

Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that +looks+ like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Frankly, I suspect that you've long since trashed that library.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Regards
TD

All info gone after software update, how can i get it back?

New G3, notified me I needed to sync w/itunes to get the new update. After syncing, and various problems and errors, it said i needed to restore my iphone... everything would be wiped clean +but i could get it back+ after the update was complete. Update is complete, where is the option to put all of my stuff back on my phone? My contacts, my appointments, my alarms, my life... aargh!

Turns out those error messages it gave me were because it didn't sync properly and create a backup. Which is why when I restored from backup it didn't reload my old info. Instead of assuring me that I would have the option to restore my info, it would have been nice had it told me that a backup hadn't been completed and that restoring my phone without it would leave me with nothing.
Tech support had me use my old SIM card to import my old contacts. This worked, but I've entered contacts since getting the new phone that aren't on my old SIM. And doing so left me with a bunch of re-organizing to do (deleting, combining, entering First and Last name fields...) it took me several hours.
I didn't get my appointments back, cause my old phone was just a phone, and that info wasn't on the old SIM, but I'm REALLY glad I got my contacts.

The Home icon has disappeared in Firefox 4, How can I get it back?

Installing Firefox 4 made the Home and other icons I used frequently disappear and changed the access to Google. Now, after I finish on a website and want to return to the "Start" page, I have to close the tab and start all over. Not a great design, ya know?

The home icon by default has moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar.
If the other icons that you miss are the stop/go/reload buttons, in Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons stop/go/reload buttons, or want to move the home button, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Help, my Clock has disappeared from menu bar, how can I get it back ?

Can someone please tell me how to return my clock to the menu bar directly above the Mac HD icon?
I went to system preferences, clicked clock, clicked the date and Time tab and found it set on Show date and time, View in menu bar, view as analog. Under that it said show AM / PM and Show day of the week. These last two selections were printed in pale gray, not in black. On the lower left corner of this date and time tab, was an open lock. I clicked it closed in hopes this action would return my clock to the menu bar. It did not. So I clicked the lock open again. I would very much appreciate someone telling me how to return my clock to the menu bar. Thank you in advance

You should consider updating to 10.4.11,
But perhaps your Mac needs a bit of TLC:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.

An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:

If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

I lost sound with the last update, how can I get it back?

Working with Windows Vista home Premium. All worked before update to firefox 13.0.1. Other sound works but internet sound is gone.

Many sites use the Flash player for audio, as well as video. Could you review this article and see whether it helps? [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
