A week or so ago I upgraded some apple software and now Safari drops my news bookmarks folder. I can restore it from Time Machine but it will not stay in place. Suggestions?

My iMac, running 10.10.3 seems to have an interesting issue. Since the last round of apple updates[ including photos 1.0]safari has been dropping my "News" bookmarks folder. It disappears on restart or when trying to add a bookmark to any folder. I am able to restore it with time machine and it will stay in place until all of a sudden .I notice it is once again gone. Restore and its back. Quite a pain in the butt. Any suggestions on a more permanent fix would be appreciated.

Thanks, wife has iPad on holiday so I could not check it. iCloud occurred to me but I am fairly new to it as prior to iPad we had no need of it. Thanks again Linc, I've tried it a couple of times this afternoon and it seems to be sticking around. Hugh

Sir Churchill, I tried deleting one of the playlists from my computer (Playlist 130). The next day I checked my wife's computer and noticed that Playlist 130 was now missing from her computer as well. Is there a way that I can delete a playlist from my computer without it disappearing from hers as well?

I have zinced songs from my PC to my iPad and it has copied all the songs on my pc but some are showing very faintly on my iPad and these songs will not play. I have tried to delete them but they will not stay hilighted and show delete to enable me to do

Can anyone help me to delete the faintly listed songs on my iPad which I have transferred from my Pc but they will not play on my iPad.

Thanks for trying to help me.
First, in you reply (and i've read this elsewhere), you imply that i need to check a box that says "manually manage music." OK, great, but where do i find such box? Is that on the iphone or in itunes? Also, i am afraid of losing what i already do have on my phone. I have about 150 songs, some of which were purchesed thru itunes, but most of which i "dropped and dragged" from my older computer with the older version of itunes. When i go to itunes with my iphone plugged in, all of the boxes are grayed out, except one at the top that says "Sync Music". When i check this box, i get an error warning that says "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to [name of my iPhone] from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library."
So, i have over 3000+ songs in my itunes library on my computer... obviously that isn't going to fit on my phone. So then, what is going to happen? I'll lose everything that is already on my phone PLUS it will NOT be able to sync?
Is now the time to buy a Zune?!? For the company that is supposedly "user friendly", Apple has really managed to screw this one up.
Thanks, John

Does anyone know why since upgrading to ML notes are not visible in Time Machine. They used to be part of mail and could be recovered from Time machine but since ML I don't seem to be able to access notes in Time Machine. Any help would be useful.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Mail doesn't support notes. If you use iCloud, you have them in it because Notes is an application

I just upgraded my apple TV and now when I rent a movie on iTunes, instead of it playing instantly, it takes 60 hours to load. Anyone else have this problem?

i just upgraded my apple TV and now when I rent a movie on iTunes, instead of it playing instantly, it takes 60 hours to load. Anyone else have this problem?

Apple Support, I have just purchased 3 movies 2 from my account and 1 from my wifes account and both systems are stating that it will take 2 days to download. I have a FIOS 150 megabit per second up and 150 megabit per second down busiuness class fiber service to my location. I have tested downloading 10Gbyte files from two other locations and both work fine. I additionally went out and have tested doing speed tests (http://www.speedtest.net/) from over 10 other locations all over the US and all are over 75 magabits per second download speeds with a few hitting 100 and 125 megabit per second speeds. What is wrong with your servers or your internet connection????
This is VERY FUSTRATING!!!
I have additionally tried to download them with my Apple TV and two different PCs all wired on Gigabit Ethernet with jumbo frames enabled. I have tried differnet DNS servers also. I can upload and download files to my office 50G in less than 1 hour. I have also download movies from 2 other movie sites without any problems.

Not enough space on my new SSD drive to import my data from time machine backup, how can I import my latest backup minus some big files?

I just got a new 256GB SSD drive for my mac, I want to import my data from time machine backup, but its larger than 256GB since it used to be on my old optical drive. How can I import my latest backup keeping out some big files on the external drive?

Hello Salemr,
When you restore from a Time Machine back up, you can tell it to not transfer folders like Desktop, Documents. Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public. Take a look at the article below for the steps to restore from your back up.

Upgrade MacBook Hard Drive - Restore System from Time Machine Backup?

I have a MacBook that I want to upgrade the hard drive of. Am I right in thinking, all I need to do is:
Run Time Machine one last time, to make a recent backup of the MacBook
Install the new hard drive in the MacBook
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD, and start a clean installation
During installation, select the option to Restore System From Backup...
Will this copy across ALL of the contents of the old MacBook's hard drive, to the new MacBook's hard drive? A perfect clone? Because that's what I want to do.

I performed the installation, restoring a Time Machine backup from the external hard drive to the new blank internal one I put inside the MacBook. Everything went fine, except for one problem.
Now, whenever I try to open Safari, it immediately crashes with the error message:
"Safari quit unexpectedly
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)"
What's going on? How can I stop Safari from doing this? I've repaired permissions using Disk Utility, and Spotlight has finished re-indexing everything.

My ipod touch (geration 4) wont load my internet it just keeps giving me the loading sign. It was working perfectly fine untill yesterday for some random reason and now it wont load at all. Again it just gives me a loading sign and the wifi symbol wont come up.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?

My old Time machine backup's will not restore after lion upgrade. Ugh!!!!!

I had old backups that were accessible while running snow lepoard. Aftering installing Lion, the backup are still there, but I can't restore from any of them. Do I have to change the file name? Or am I SOL!!

Hey Linc,
Here's what happens: I log in TM, I can scroll through my old backups, I can choose the folders I want to restore, I can click on the folder, but when the systems tries to restore it, it stops saying that I don't have the privileges to access file A in the folder (and then all the procedure is stopped).
Oddly (at least for me) if I try to restore just that same file A (and not the whole folder) that I should have no privileges for, from the same old backup, I can do it, but I have to give the system my password: It pops up a window saying something "Finder is willing to make some modification, can you authorize?" (forgive i'm translating the alert from another language) and then I can restore it.
Many thanks
Ps: I did a simple upgrade on Lion, no partition, no blank disk, and never changed anything in my user preferences, it's always the same, administrator
Pps: Before Lion I could restore easily exactly the same folders and files I tried to restore with Lion

Upgraded Blackberry Desktop software and now it will not accept my device password. What's happened?

I've upgraded the software on my desktop and connected my Bold 9700 to my computer. It asked me for my device password but it's not accepting it. I'm up to 8/10 tries and I know I'll have issues if I keep trying. I've disconnected my bb but it is still wanting a password and not accepting it.
Also the password field on my bb is showing me the characters I'm typing in as opposed to astericks.
I don't know what is happening and I don't want to lose all my data. Help!
Solved!

I found the answer. I was entering the wrong password and not realizing it. sorry if i waster your time reading this.

Upgraded HD in iMac can't resore from Time Machine

I upgraded the stock 320GB hard drive on my 24" 2007 iMac to a 2TB Hybrid drive and I can't restore from my Time Machine backup. It tries to restore then I get a log with information that says the restore cannot continue. I had Mavericks installed but booting up using my Snow Leopard disk. I can install Snow Leopard from scratch and it works fine. I also tried diffferent restore points to no avail. Any ideas? Also seems all the fans are running full blast.

I need to restore some Notes from Time Machine but how?

I have Lion 10.7.4 and Time Machine and need to restore Notes [which are in the Reminder part of my Mail app] and figured otu how to show the hidden files so could see the Library, thinking that was where the 'old' notes were = so went there but can't find where the notes in Mail are kept - and can't find to restore them.
How do I find the notes from a month or so ago to restore them into the present Time Machine folder -- I've tried it 3 times and the Notes thing is there but empty each time == but if I am in TimeMchine and look at tht top I see that there are 25 notes etc.

Thanks but that is what I am doing...the shot below is of the Notes area in Mail before I do the Restore via TM - I go into TM and back in mid April/late March find 25 items = I did a screen shot [below] so I know the info is there - but so far I keep getting the restored Notes folders with -0- messages
I did go into the Timemachine volume and follow thru the location path to the Notes.mbox in the Library of my user folder [name has not changed] - the only thing there is the info.plist = which contains the plist info but not the 25 notes or messages which clearly show up above. Thanks for the help. Not sure what to do next?

I recently upgraded some Adobe software (and I can't remember which one) and since that time, I have not been able to get videos on Firefox. I still can on Safari. What gives?

I'm sorry I can't remember which software I was requested to update....but it was an Adobe product. Now, Firefox is a little slow and fluky and I can't get videos at all. Sometimes, I can't google--it freezes, but intermittently.

Try a SMC reset:
