After delete plugin, all bookmarks dispeared. I am able to use hard drive recover , found firefox.bak folder. Can I recover from there?

Thanks.
Just to get the terminology right, neither Spybot Search & Destroy nor Avast Browser Cleanup are supposed to clean viruses. This is what anti-virus software is for.
Avast Browser Cleanup is a tool that serves to delete unwanted toolbars and plug-ins. None of these are viruses.
I haven't heard about Avast Browser Cleanup before, and it's certainly not something I'd have used. In any case, it's not supposed to kill your profile.
''I have recovered a folder called Mozilla Firefox.bak and some other stuffs''
So what's in that recovered folder? If it contains the automatically created backups of your bookmarks, you can recover your bookmarks from that.

    well PhillyPhan, I can't tell that you're better looking just by your iphoto icon, now can I? Although it is a lovely sunset you've got there.
    Thanks for your response to my question, I see your point and will do that, however, I have another folder that was created before I had a Mac, which has all sorts of lovely titles and labels and some of those pictures I brought over to my ibook when I first started. So there are some duplicates in my iphoto library that I already have backed up in that other folder. I guess I shouldn't really obsess about those. I guess I am just nervous about deleting all my prior iphoto library, but I should have faith that it will all be there in my pictures library. Just trying to clean up the virtual mess.
    I'll hold my breath and take the plunge.
    Thanks!

  • TS1398 After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi.

    Connected, but no wifi traffic (at home).
    After upgrade to iOS 6 i am not able to use wifi. I am connected to my home wifi but no trafic is coming through (safari, skype, twitter, app store). I have even tried recovery of my iPhone 4S using iTunes as well as using iPhone. But without effect.
    Can not connect at all (at work).
    Thank you for helpfull advice.

    Please do not give me advice like:
    switch proxy to auto
    turn the flight mode on and off
    turn the iphone on and off
    release the ip
    recovery the network settings
    recovery firmware
    I have tried all these, but did not work.
    PS to apple:
    I really did not expect this kind of trouble. If I would want to waste my time "repairing my device", I would buy an android phone!!!!!!

    This helped me solve the problem:
    I have changed the security from TKIP to AES and now my wifi works fine /sofar/.

  • I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

    I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port).  I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive?  I don't have enough space to do that.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition.  I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

    I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition.  I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

    No easy fix for a few reasons:
    1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
    2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
    I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
    Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
    Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
    My recomendations:
    1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
    2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
    3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest.

    My win8 pc hard drive failed.  After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used).  ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help!  The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection.  I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that.  Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes?  Thanks!!

    This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
    The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

  • After I configure my time capsule to my newly replaced macbook hard drive, are my old backups still available?

    After I configure my time capsule to my newly replaced macbook hard drive, are my old backups still available?

    How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
    You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
    1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
    2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
    These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
    If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
    You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

  • How do I move my iTunes Library from one PC to another when all my actual songs live on an external hard-drive?

    Need to transfer my iTunes from one Win7 laptop to a new one.  The trick is that all my music files live on an external hard drive, which I also use for Home Media Server use (iTunes only has a portion of my full collection under management for use on my iPhone).
    I don't want to consolidate the music files to the My Music folder (which almost all tutorials say is the first step to transfer the library) - I want to keep them on the external drive.  I want to retain my playlists mainly, as well as things like Podcasts which are unique to the iPhone.
      How does one accomplish this? 
      Thanks in advance!!

    OK. So your current media library is at C:\Users\Matt\Music\iTunes.
    Your current media folder is C:\Users\Matt\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music.
    Your library is in the old style layout.
    The bulk of your media is at F:\MP3 and you're happy with the layout of it.
    Are you OK with the media files moving to F:\iTunes\iTunes Media but otherwise retaining the same file & folder names they have now. If so carry on, otherwise I'll give you the steps for migrating the library without making it portable first, or indeed at all.
    With iTunes closed backup the iTunes Library.itl file somewhere.
    Open iTunes.
    Open Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab. Check the media folder location is given as C:\Users\Matt\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music.
    Make sure Keep iTunes Music folder organised and Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library are turned off.
    Close preferences.
    Use File > Organise Library > Rearrange files in the folder iTunes Music. This will pull the files in the Mobile Applications folder into your current media folder and tell iTunes you want to use the new layout in future for anything that it is managing, e.g. podcasts, apps etc. Exisitng content on F: won't be touched.
    Open Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab. Change the media folder location to F:\MP3. When you click OK you will be asked if you want to copy existing content to the new location. Click No.
    Close iTunes. Reopen it. Check that media folder location is now correctly given as F:\MP3.
    Use File > Organise Library > Consolidate files. This will pull any files that are outside F:\MP3 into it, but leave those that are already inside alone.
    Close iTunes.
    Copy the files iTunes Library.itl iTunes Library Extras.itdb iTunes Library Genius.itdb sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into F:\.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and naviagate to the library file at F:\.
    Test that the library works i.e. that your files play.
    Close iTunes.
    Create a folder called F:\iTunes.
    Move the files iTunes Library.itl iTunes Library.xml iTunes Library Extras.itdb iTunes Library Genius.itdb sentinel and the folders Album Artwork & MP3 into F:\iTunes.
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and naviagate to the library file at F:\iTunes.
    Test that the library works.
    Close iTunes.
    Rename F:\iTunes\MP3 as F:\iTunes\iTunes Media.
    Open iTunes, test the library.
    If at any stage the library won't play your media undo the preceeding step where this has involved moving or renaming files or use the shift-start-iTunes method to open the previous copy of the library.
    If you've made it this far you can now connect this drive to your new computer and connect to the library with the shift-start-iTunes method without needing to worry which drive letter has been assigned. If your new machine has a big enough drive you can copy the entire iTunes folder to, say, C:\iTunes and it will just work, meaning that your external drive can function as a backup... You really should keep at least two copies of eveything.
    Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder (which is the point of doing all the above) then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.

  • Do I need to use all the hard drive for time machine or can I partition it

    Do I need to use all the hard drive for time machine or can I partition it

    You cannot partition a TC disk.
    See pondini about mixing data and backups.. but remember this.. the TC has no way to back itself up and TM cannot backup files on the TC. Anything not backed up on the TC will be lost at some future point.

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Steve MacGuire a.k.a. turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895)
    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

    from the file menu, choose add to library and select the folder on the external containing your content, or drag the folder to the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder.
    when iTunes has finished the operation, go back to preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external so that future additions to your library are put there. also, re-enable the copy files ... when adding option.
