A.. bookmarks are GONE! I've tried to locate them as per the instructions to no avail. B. No history is being saved. Cant restore,says unable to process back up file. HELP!!! Thanks much in advance.
A. All of my bookmarks are gone. I've looked in the folders suggested by Mozilla. Nothing there.
B. Im unable to save any bookmarks except my homepage. When I do it is placing it in a bar above my open windows in the browser.
C. I used to be able to type in the first few letters of a website & it'd come up as a drop down in the browser bar-no longer does that.
D. NONE of my history is being saved. Attempts to restore a previous date it says its unable to process the request.
Ive gone through my settings many times and nothing seems out of order.
Help!!!
That combination of issues is an indication that there is a problem with the file that stores history and bookmarks. For details of how to fix it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

My computer had trouble starting for a long time. Taking it to the shop didn't help. Today it just wouldn't start at all. In a desperation move I restored it to its original settings as if I just bought it. I chose the backup files version so that I didn't lose any data in memory, though I do have to restore some settings. When I ran Firefox all my bookmarks are gone. Everything is in the My Backup folder. How can I get my bookmarks back if I can?
As always, iphone will sync with one comptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content. You should keep everything on your computer and should always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

I can still see the JSON files on my PC, but I can't figure out why FF4 is not showing my bookmarks.
I think I just resolved my issue. I exited Firefox, then deleted the places.sqlite file then restarted Firefox 4. My bookmarks immediately appeared.
Here's where I got the instructions.

I have lost all of my most visited websites, bookmarks, and all other data due to reinstalling firefox. I have some files in the Mozilla Firefox folder (C:\Program Files\(x86)\Mozilla Firefox) but none of them are able to be opened when I click Firefox>Bookmarks>Import and Backup>Backup. Is there any way to get all of my information back?
IOBit's software is worse than useless and shouldn't be used. Use Window's built in uninstaller for all install/uninstall processes
Firefox data is saved in your user files, which aren't saved via restore points, so if the information is not there (the article I linked to above would help you find it) then it looks like it was lost because iobit didn't give you an option to save your files. Unless you have a backup of your data somewhere.
You could try a file recovery system, but if you've made changse to your computer since uninstalling (like installing new software, restarting your machine even) it's most likely not going to work. -
my bookmaks are disappeared yesterday all of sudden.tried to get back ups by doing restoring from import and back up colum, yet nothing can be processed.
Rather late to mention that it is good practice to keep backups, for instance by following
* [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
* and although it must not be regarded as a backup method consider using [[what is firerfox sync|sync]] that is intended to allow you to sync two devices, you then effectivly have a backup on another device.
Make a manual backup of whatever you have now and store it somewhere safe, not in firefox profile or program paths - maybe use the Windows Desktop location. Note unfortunatly the restore process overwrites existing bookmarks.
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks that article goes into a bit more depth, and is relatively accurate still. (It tends to refer to Firefox 3, there are now more copies of bookmark backups by default for instance in Firefox 7) -
My bookmarks are gone. How do I get them back?
A few days ago I noticed that about half my bookmarks were gone. Now they have all disappeared.
How do I get them back?See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
If you have used Firefox for more that five days since that loss then you may no longer have a JSON backup to restore the bookmarks from.<br />
If it happened less than five days ago then immediately make a copy of all the .json backups in the the bookmarkbackups folders to prevent losing older copies (Firefox only keeps the last five of the daily JSON backups). -
As it says above I lost all my bookmarks after upgrading to Firefox 4.
I have tried all the solutions under the Lost Bookmark page and they either do not apply or did not work.
I even found a old backup and imported it and it did not work.
I have seen several people say they have the same problem and have fixed it but never say how.. Please helpI've encountered the same problem; I (reluctantly) upgraded Firefox after years of happily using version 2, and discovered that I should have, apparently, saved my bookmarks before updating.
There is NO "places.sqlite" file anywhere on my hard drive.
Following the procedure at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost+Bookmarks#Restoring_bookmark_backups restores the bookmarks folder saved *today*. . . after Firefox reverted to a *two year old file* and saved it over my existing one. (How do I know it's two years old? It has house search information from before my toddler's birth, that's how.)
There is no bookmarkbackups folder.
Searches across my hard drive for the following files turn up nothing useful:
* bookmarks.bak
* bookmarks.html
* bookmarks.html.moztmp
* bookmarks-(date).html
* bookmarks-(date).json
Oh, there *is* a bookmarks.html file that's larger than the 7/2 one that's been created; it is, however, from a transfer from IE bookmarks dated 2006.
None of the rest exit. Even searching for just the extension of .json turns up nothing.
I really, really want my bookmarks back, and I am not thrilled about this; I trusted Firefox not to screw up on an upgrade, and that's the only reason I didn't make a backup before installing. Silly me. -
My bookmarks are gone and i can not find them - I have tried to restore and nothing is there.
I have tried to restore and nothing is there. Please help me find where they might be backup too.

My bookmarks are gone and I can't find them on "restore" like Mozilla support suggests.
I cannot recover 4 years' worth of organized bookmarks... they were there 2 days ago. When I click "import/backup" then "restore" it just says "choose a file" and goes to desktop. It doesn't give me a list of dates. Please help...? (I just installed Kaspersky and I think it may have put me into "safe browsing" - their words not mine - if that means anything to you.) Again, here's what I'm doing:
Click Bookmarks, (drop-down menu) click Show All Bookmarks, (new menu) click Import & Backup, (drop-down menu) click Restore - instead of a list of dates it reads Choose File as only option, click Choose File = takes me to desktop icons.THANK YOU, JOHN99! I could not get the backup to work right, but you took me to a page that showed how to copy bookmarks from my other (uncorrupted) computer, so I did that and it works perfectly now. Directly & indirectly, you solved it for me. THANKS AGAIN!

Imported photos, transferred some photos to new album, deleted originals, ones in album are gone. How do I retreive them?
Check the iPhoto trash - if they are there select them and right click and restore to library
If they are not there then they are gone
You really should take the time to learn how to use iPhoto - photos exist only in one place - in your events - albums, keepsakes, etc are just pointers to the actual photos in the event - deleting from an album does just that - deletes from the album - deleting from an event removes the photo and therefore all albums, keepsakes, etc
watch the videos as a starter - iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help and watch the video
also more details (for a previous version so some menu items are in different places but the concept is the same) - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Whenever I opened Firefox Start Page, all my bookmarks were displayed on the left side. I accidently hit something, and now all my bookmarks are gone.
Firefox has a Bookmarks Sidebar you can open and close using Ctrl+b. That's pretty easy to hit if you're trying to bold something, but if a website doesn't intercept it, then it affects your sidebar.
Was that it? -
I just simply turned on my computer and clicked FireFox as always. Looks like some updates installed and now all my bookmarks are gone. I've looked at all related troubleshooting answers and nothing works. How do i get my bookmarks back?

You get the import wizard if the profiles.ini file that registers all Firefox profiles is missing.

You can check if there still is an older profile folder.
