12 empty bookmark folders keep appearing everytime I reboot iPhone 4S 5.1

I turn on iPhone 4s with the 5.1 software and 12 empty invisable bookpmark folders appear on the last page. I delete them. Next time I reboot they appear again.
What gives?

If you are syncing to iCloud, it may be reinstalling them off your iCloud backup of your bookmarks. You may need to delete them off of there.
Hope this helps

Original Items and JPEG Images folders keep appearing on my desktop

Hi, was hoping someone could help me.
I keep getting empty "Original Items" and "JPEG Images" folders appearing on my desktop (MacBook Pro running Yosemite).
It's been happening for a while now. Every time I try and delete them or move them off the desktop, fresh and empty folders reappear.
I like to keep my desktop clutter free so it's an annoying problem.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

These are probably just files you have inadvertently downloaded from some web site, or perhaps a buggy JavaScript downloaded them to your desktop. You can find out where they were downloaded from by selecting them and choosing File -> Get Info. The More Info section will tell you. See the following example, taken from a file I downloaded not long ago:
This is not the work of any kind of malware, and the "creepy" file is simply a Mandelbrot image, created from a mathematical equation. These can be quite beautiful. See:

Security Setup Wizard keeps appearing on startup

For some reason, the Security Setup Wizard keeps appearing everytime I logon. There seems to be an error when it is completing the last steps of the process. I enter all the information requested and get to the last page and I get an error message that it cannot create the "system keys." What are the system keys and how do I fix this error?
If I cannot fix the error so that the wizard can complete its tasks, how do I prevent it from running on startup in the first place? I checked the run list in the registry but it doesn't seem to be listed there.

Hi sclexman,
Thank you for your good instructions and prompt reply. I don't often see such patient or helpful people outside of the ThinkPad community!
My system has been running beautifully for well over a year.
I am running Windows XP Professional on my IBM ThinkPad T60p.
Typing something like ThinkPad "Security Setup Wizard" into Google with quotation marks, you will get better results.
I literally get exactly what is described above by the other people.
My problem is the Wizard which keeps popping up every time the computer restarts, but the "system keys" step is where the wizard gets stuck, so I thought that might be the cause of the problem.
I put off setting up my security software with fingerprint reader for years, and I just got around to it yesterday. The wizard popped up every time I started up since I got it, but when I went through the wizard and set everything up, it finally stopped popping up.
Shortly after, I went poking through the advanced settings of the ThinkVantage Client Security Solution program and accidentally clicked "Reconfigure security settings". This brought up the same wizard again, and made me re-enter all of my passwords and security questions, which was quite a hassle. This is the time it failed at the "system keys" part of setup; the first time took longer, but it was successful.
My big reward at the end of this was supposed to be the wizard leaving me alone at startup, but he will not stop his familiar haunt!
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Thomas
Security Setup Wizard that won't stop popping up:
Wizard after initial successful completion. If done over, it won't get past the second step.
I don't want to try creating my own system key as your WikiHow link describes, as I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, and I don't want to actually break my system's security! Everything is working perfectly now security-wise, except for this pop-up window!!!
P.S.
I took so long to reply because when I tried to change my e-mail address to the one I check most often, I was completely locked out of my account. I did not receive any confirmation e-mail no matter how many times I clicked re-send. Today I changed it back to my Hotmail account, and it came within five minutes, so I'm back in. Since Hotmail works, I am guessing that the spam filter on my school's e-mail servers is cranked up too high, rather than any problem on Lenovo's part.

ITunes deleted apps - still a warning message keeps appearing: 'iTunes has found purchased items on the iPhone..."

Hi
I'm trying to delete apps in iTunes Library and from the iPhone.
1. Goto Library > Apps then I deleted the apps I dont use.
2. Goto the iPhone, select Apps then deleted apps from there that I'm no longer using.
3. Click Sync. Then I get the following warning:
iTunes has found purchased items on the iPhone “4S 16GB iPhone” that are not present in your iTunes library. Do you want to transfer these items from this iPhone back to your iTunes library? If you do not transfer these purchased items to your iTunes library, they will be removed from the iPhone.
4. I clicked 'Dont Transfer'. This is fine as I dont want the apps on the iPhone anymore.
5. I ejected the iPhone.
6. Later, I reconnect the iPhone again to iTunes. The warning appears again:
iTunes has found purchased items on the iPhone “4S 16GB iPhone” that are not present in your iTunes library. Do you want to transfer these items from this iPhone back to your iTunes library? If you do not transfer these purchased items to your iTunes library, they will be removed from the iPhone.
7. Clicked 'Dont Transfer'.
8. Then I tried 'Transfer'. This transfered "something" .. I dont know what transferred as I had deleted a few apps.
Why does this warning keep appearing everytime I reconnect? I'm not sure what it means or what it's meant to do.
Please can you advise me? I dont know what I'm doing wrong.

Don't transfer, right click the device in iTunes and select Back Up.
Though, the iTunes interface is designed to be computer - phone and not the other way around, you may need to use something else to preserve your data.

Smart Bookmarks do not appear in their folders

I just downloaded and installed Firefox Home hoping that I can use it as a Feed Reader on my iPhone. Unfortunately, the smart bookmarks do not appear in their folders in Firefox Home. I see the folders I set up on Firefox desktop but they are empty. I can see all these smart bookmarks on both my Mac and Win XP computers.
Is there any way to see these smart bookmarks on Firefox Home? I'd much rather use it than Google Reader.
I am using Firefox 4.0 & Firefox Sync 1.7 (Mac OS X 10.6.7 & Win XP), and Firefox Home downloaded April 9.

Have you turned on the display of the bookmarks toolbar ?
* Use '''View -> Toolbars -> Bookmarks toolbar'''
* or Firefox Button -> Options -> Bookmarks toolbar
Note if you press keyboard key '''Alt''' it will temporarily display the menubar toolbar, or move the mouse pointer there.

In Firefox4, can I lose the folder icons from the Bookmarks Bar while keeping icons everywhere else (because the folder icons are superfluous and extend the horizontal list of bookmark folders beyond the width of the window)?

I've just installed Firefox4 for Mac (OS 10.6.7) and can no longer see all my bookmark folders at once across the top -- because the folder icons make the Bookmarks Bar too wide. Yet, I like the icons on the other bars, so I don't want to turn them off globally. Is there a way to just lose the folder icons -- which don't appear to serve a purpose anyway?

Small correction to original post. Machine is an iMac 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. (I was at home when I made the first post.) But the bookmarks menu behavior still exists today and FF 5 is essentially unusable.
System details next to the post are not for machine with the bug in question.
Found a copy of FF4 to use until a solution is found. Turned off automatic updates to preserve this version.

Multiple copies of bookmark folders appear with different contents in each one; I'm trying to sync bookmarks on 3 computers

That's pretty much it: I have a lot of bookmark folders, and when I tried to replace xmarks with sync, and began to sync additional computers, multiple non-identical copies of the bookmark folders began to appear; it would seem that 3 of each appeared, but they were not all the same, as if some bookmarks within folders were distributed across multiple identically named folders. What's up?

Lost-All bookmarks and bookmark folders

All my bookmarks and bookmark folders have disappeared. How do I recover them? I am using safari 1.3.2 Can anyone help with this?

warning: it's long
I too lost all my bookmarks/folders in Safari -- after a Verizon DSL install-induced browser hi-jacking. See http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/?p=78
for a story that captures my own experience nearly to the last detail. But, unfortunately, unlike the blog author my bookmarks.plist was not a back up of my extensive bookmark collection -- it was a big zero, like some other responders to that reported.
I am a total amateur, just your basic user, and couldn't follow the code discussion toward the bottom of the blog, it's over my head. But, although not knowledgable, I am desperate and persistent and rarely accept "can't be done" answers, even if I don't really know what I'm doing and keep getting that same answer.
I tried all the standard suggestions so far, searching .plists, searching my hd for anything safari, anything bookmark, anything .html. Read many of the discussions on lost bookmarks, tried everything I could understand how to do.
I stumbled upon in the ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari over a thousand files with crazy number/character names that all have suffix ".webbookmark" I probably did have over 1000 bookmarks. When I double click one of those .webbookmark files in that folder, a webpage springs forth in Safari, one of my former bookmarks. Also, click in the finder on one of those ~.webbookmark file and 'get info' and it shows the .html file name and bookmark name for it.
I believe this is somehow my old bookmark collection, and not a history cache, for various reasons: upon clicking, I recognize the webpage that appears and I know bookmarked anywhere from a few months ago, as well as some oldies, but have not visited recently. Random spot checking seems like no sites I recently visited but did not bookmark are showing up.
Would not be fun to double click every one of the 1000+ .webbookmark files in the metadata/Safari to open the page it represents and then "add bookmark" in Safari, to restore my bookmarks. Is there some automatic way of doing that? Am I not understanding the metadata folders enough and have tricked myself into believing they are my real bookmarks and not history or useless stuff. It's totally possible my ignorant forays and fleeting glimpses (but not, out of the corner of my eye....) are fool's gold.
Can someone let me know whether this is worth pursuing, and if so, how, and if so how so in plain terms because of my limited knowledge and floundering around without understanding what I'm doing and what it means.
I know, I know, I should have backed up before I did the *&^@! install, I should back up before I do anything, and do it regularly anyway. Don't laugh too hard now, but get this, when I did back up before, I didn't know what I was doing and just backed up "documents" folder (see, told you I was ignorant; but, older and wiser now...) But I had no idea something like getting DSL would screw up my browser (and my apple mail -- that's a different awful story too, still unresolved) and who knows what else.
No, I have not used another browser since early 2005, and wasn't as 'bookmark crazy' then as I've been the last few years (or my life wasn't as complicated then and I didn't need to bookmark a lot of important, and I mean important, as well as obscure sites, that I don't need on a daily basis, but do need, but don't want to search through thousands of google hits to find the right one, when I realize I need it again...). Yes, sure, i will salvage what I can from IE and Netscape although they're way incomplete and frozen in time of simpler days.
A thousand curses upon my evil DSL provider who thinks browser/mail/etc. hi-jacking is fun and smart PR.
I will appreciate any help. (and it's understood if the real answer is "can't be done;" worth trying here though) Just point me to the right discussion if this has already been attended to.
Thanks!

Keeping the folder you are moving to the far left will do the trick.

Library files keep appearing on the Desktop!!!!

Hello
For some weird reason the iTunes Library (Damaged),iTunes Library (Damaged) Extras, itunes music & Album Artwork keeps appearing in my desktop :/ I deleted them but whenever I open itunes they appear again!! I went to preference >> advance and chose the original path for the folders and still it doesn't change.. (User>Music>itunes>itunes music)
I re-install itunes and nothing change, please I need help I'm desperate..
another Q why it's titled "iTunes Library (Damaged)" and how can I fix it?!
Thank you

Double check to see that the ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file or the folder it resides in (the ‘iTunes’ folder) is not read-only.
First, see this Article for some background information: What are the iTunes Library files?
Using Windows Explorer, right-click on the file (or folder) name, go to Properties.
If it is read-only, then close iTunes, change it, and reopen iTunes.
Now (going forwards), any changes you make to the Library should be retained (i.e. – rebuilding).
For Vista users, How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista may offer some help. Give yourself ownership and full control of the main iTunes folder and all its subfolders.
If you are running a Sony Vaio PC, then This Thread may offer some insight.
Best of Luck

Upgraded to Firefox 4.0 Can see and use all old bookmarks folders and bookmarks, but cannot see any of the old folders when I attempt to bookmark a new page- only see Bookmarks toolbar & Menu and unsorted bookmarks

Had several bookmarks folders under old Firefox. After upgrade to 4.0 all of these still work via bookmarks menu. Problem is, when I attempt to bookmark a new page and place it in one of my existing bookmarks folders with 4.0, the only folders that Firefox can see are the bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu, and unsorted bookmarks. How do I get Firefox to see the old folders so that I can continue to put bokmarked pages in them??

In the "Edit this Bookmark" window, use the 2nd drop-down button, that is to the right of the "Folder", to open a larger window that will allow more folder to appear. See the sloppy red arrow on the screenshot below.

The bookmarks sidebar keeps popping in and out and I can't get it to stop. I have gone to "View" and tried to hide it but no luck. Any suggestions?

The bookmarks sidebar keeps popping in and out. This shifts the screen making it hard to read or write anything. I have gone to "View" but am unable to stop it. The firefox questions don't address this issue.

Did you check if there were extensions installed in that new profile?<br />
Some programs install extensions globally and appear automatically in a new profile.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning 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 their databases before doing a scan.<br />
