Safari replaced all my bookmarks with those from another of my computer... without asking. How do I keep this from happening again and how do I restore the old bookmarks?
Safari bookmarks issue
1. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari.
2. You can only restore the whole bookmarks file to a previous state. It's not possible to restore individual bookmarks.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Safari
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes. It also cancels/deletes that run/workout. This has happened several times. How can I keep this from happening?
If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

Recordings lost. How do I keep this from happening again?
OK, so, I recorded a song with my band. Sixteen tracks of guitar, bass, drums, vocals, etc. I had six different versions of the song (various mixes) all saved in separate files like this: SongtitleWorking1; SongtitleWorking2; and so on. Six different working files of the same song, the highest number being the latest version.
The other day I pulled the bass track from one of the earlier working files and dropped into the most recent worker, then I deleted all the earlier versions. Now, when I open the most recent working mix, that bass line I placed from one of the now-deleted working files can't be found. Gone forever. Totally lame.
Any ideas on how I can keep this from happening in the future?1. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari.

My home page opens just fine. When I type a search topic in the search box, it goes to the list of possible websites. But when I click on any of those choices, the browser is automatically redirecting my to a different page (usually an advertisement). How do I keep this from happening any more? I am extremely frustrated...
Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

Every once in a while, letters stop working on my keyboard. I have to restart to get them to work again. Happens about once a week. Why and how do I keep this from Happening? An example is: I try to type Super Excited and the U, E and P won't work. But once I restart, all the letters work.
It could be an accumulation of all sorts of bits of info and depending on the last time you cleared the system cache either manually or via a factory reset on that phone you might find a difference there after doing so with many other system caches.
Clearing the application cache removes temporary files and frees up memory - your personal settings or information remain intact.
Be sure you clear only the application cache and not the application data.
From the home screen, tap Apps.
Scroll to and tap Settings.
Tap More.
Tap Application manager.
Swipe left to view the All tab.
Scroll to and tap an application.
Tap Clear cache.
You've now cleared the application cache. -

About 2/3 of the time I leave Firefox, it is evidently retained in memory so I can't restart it without using the task manager. I don't use Norton or Skype programs. How do I keep this from happening?

In IMovie 11the viewable area of the screen shrinks when placed in the project editing area. How do I keep this from happening? Thanks
Mine doesn't show anything in the CSS Designer panel when I make a selection in Code Vew. It will only pop up the css set for a given element if I select that element in Design View first. If I drill down using the Sources and Selectors sub windows in the CSS Designer panel itself, it works the same in both. I pretty much never use it, but it doesn't do what you're explaining in my version of DWCC, so I'd guess you may have some slight corruption in the program.
Unless, does it make a difference if you have Live View turned on or not?
You could try clearing the program cache/personal config folder: Deleting a corrupted cache file
Or restoring preferences if the cache doesn't do the trick: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html -

I have an Iphone 4s. I noticed today that someone has been downloading music using my apple id and password. No one knows my id or password. Not even my children. How can I stop them from using it? How can I keep it from happening again?
Changing your password should be sufficient, that should be required to be entered to download anything from the store.
In case it's the new U2 album that you are referring to, then that was given to free to everyone last month - you can remove the album if you don't want it on your account : http://itunes.com/soi-remove

My desktop has 2973 bookmarks in wonderfully sorted, categorized folders. Apparently the ONLY way to get this hierarchy into my tablet to use Firefox Android is with Sync. I've tried it three times. Each time, it's make a wonderful Desktop Bookmarks folder where all of my bookmarks are sorted and foldered. But right underneath this folder are 2973 unsorted, randomly distributed copies of all my bookmarks. the first time I thought it was a fluke, but without a way to delete many bookmarks at once (...that could use a fix as well...) I uninstalled and then re-installed Firefox Android. Happened again....SO I tried it one more time for good measure...Happened again.
I love SOOOO much about this browser, but if I can't have my bookmarks, you will lose me as a customer...And useing the Awesome Bar for sorting through 2973 bookmarks is....not practical at all...
Sometimes I don't remember what I've referenced, but I know what it was referring to - It's why I put them in a logical folder to begin with.
Please help! I want to use Firefox on my tablet! But I won't if this can't be remedied!
Thanks!Fixed. But it took me deleting my Firefox sync account from the web URL and starting completely over. I've had the account for a number of years so...there might have been issues on the Mozilla server that have been held over for a while.
I made sure all the bookmarks were good on my laptop, deleted my account and made a new account. Currently re-syncing all of my machines to my new account, based on good data from my laptop.
It seems to have fixed my duplication errors in my Android tablet after full uninstall / reinstall -
...mainly because there's no way to delete multiple bookmarks at once...(which could use a fix as well!)
So, again thanks for everyone volunteering their time even though the recommends didn't seem to be what I was looking for...
Eventually it worked out...
Now can anyone tell me if there's a way to make my Bookmarks come up first when I tap on the bar? I only want to revisit a site about 15% of the time. /the rest of the time I am doing research from somewhere in my bookmarks that I've organized for that purpose. Less clicks to get there would be great... :) -
Since I started using FireFox version 4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FireFox windows open up. This is annoying as it often covers up instances I am currently using with instances that I don't wish to use right now. I can't seem to find a way to keep this behavior from occurring.
Try go to '''about:config''' search for '''browser.startup.homepage''' change its value to:
'''about:home''' - default page<br>
'''about:blank''' - blank page<br>
'''url''' - a page that you want

The folder that I added to the bookmarks menu has disappeared (along with the subfolders in it). The bookmarks I have that were not organized in a folder (just listed on the bookmarks menu) are still on the bookmarks menu. Tags from the lost bookmarks are still there, but they are empty.
The "recently bookmarked" option just lists the bookmarks I had added to the bookmark menu (but not put in folders) and the default bookmarks from Mozilla and Windows Live. There were many things in the lost bookmarks that were more recent than these.
I tried restoring from an automatic backup and that didn't work. My browser history seems accurate though.
I only have one firefox profile.I don't think it is the corrupt localstore.rdf file since none of the problems listed in that article are happening. The disappeared folder and bookmarks do not appear in the sidebar or in the menu.
I can still add bookmarks and the back/forward navigation still works. I do not want to do anything that will delete my history.
I downloaded the places.sqlite extension suggested and tried "Rebuild Indices." That did not bring my missing bookmarks back.
