After installing iMovie 4 my Bookmarks have disappeared!

Actually, several things happened after installing iMovie. My ethernet adapter wouldn't work, but fixed that...kinda. It will now recognize my ethernet adapter if I plug it in after I boot. I also can no longer find my Download folder. There were three Download folders. One was the temporary one (I'm talking about that little Download window which pops up so you can see what you're downloading). Another one had all my downloads. Another, for some reason, had only 4 downloads from when I first began using the Powerbook 7 years ago. That one I can find. But the main one is gone. I just installed the update for iMovie (4.0.1) but that didn't do anything. Previous to installing iMovie I renamed my "Home" icon, but after the iMovie install it has reverted to the old name and when I try to change it back it says the name is already taken. I tried using Finder to retrieve the name I had changed the Home icon to, but it doesn't come up with anything. Is there a way to revert of they system settings before I installed iMovie 4?

I doubt that anything related to iMovie will fix your problem. iMovie has nothing to do with your ethernet adapter or with Safari's downloads folder and bookmarks. You probably need to go to the OS X discussion area.

After installing iMovie 8.0.5

After installing iMovie 8.0.5, iMovie is now COMPLETELY unable to import nor detect ANY videos on my hard drive what so ever.
Is it a bug in the update, that i'm supposedly the only one to experience? Or did I do something wrong. Everything has been working perfectly right until I installed 8.0.5.
I hope someone might have a solution or that a new update will do it!
Thanks!

After installing Leopard, the app store icon disappeared

Hi,
After installing Leopard, the app store icon disappeared; how do I access it to download Lion? There is no trace of any App store in the Finder.
Thank you

You need to update to 10.6.6 (at least) to have the App Store.

I need to setup 7800 Series IP Phones in the CUCM 8.6.2 which by default are not support but will work after install the software. Anyone have document from Cisco as I remember I seen once before.

Hi Ali,
I'll just add this reference to the good tips from my friend Manish (+5)
Support for the 7800 series in CUCM 8.6.2 was first added with this
Device Pack;
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Device Package 8.6(2)(24104-1)Release Notes
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Package Release 8.6(2)
adds support for the Cisco IP Phones
7821, 7841, and 7861 running SIP firmware release 10.1(1).
The steps are in this doc
http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282074299/107528/cmterm-devicepack-8.6.2.24104-1_Readme.pdf
You might as well install the latest 8.6.2 Device pack
cmterm-devicepack8.6.2.24112-1.cop.sgn
Cheers!

My bookmarks have disappeared and I can't add new bookmarks.

All my bookmarks have disappeared, including the defaults on the toolbar of most visited, etc. I can't add new bookmarks either. I have tried all the Help Topics on lost bookmarks. I tried restoring bookmark backups, but the backup from the date I lost bookmarks says "unable to process backup file." All the later dates will load, but they have no bookmarks saved in them. All of the other Help Topic attempts went fine but did not solve the problem.

What I would say is that if you have any bookmarks at all at present that you make a manual backup of them, and then continue to make manual backups as any recovery efforts proceed.
* see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
There is a possibility that you had corrupt files, and may then have inadvertently overwritten any files that may have contained bookmarks. It is a good idea to make manual backups, for cases where the auto backups do not. work as expected.
If you have already followed the instructions carefully about [[lost bookmarks]] and without resolving the situation, there may not be much you can do about your personal bookmarks. If they are important and you are willing to try there may be a possibility using file recovery software, &/or sqlite editors that something could be salvaged, but not something I can advise on, I am not currently a Mac user.
The default bookmarks should be fairly easy to restore. You can probably also start the bookmarks working again. Trying the simplest options first:
# work from [safe mode]
#* at this stage when you see the first dialogue window with options do not make changes, press the continue button
# use the customise / customize option from the toolbars and '''reset defaults'''
#* Mac may differ from my Windows XP, I can right click bookmarks, or use the tools menu see [[How do I customize the toolbars?]]
# if that has failed to resolve the problem go back to safe mode as in step 1 but this time use reset toolbars and controls.
By now you should have the default bookmarks back and maybe the bookmarks work and will save new bookmarks, try it whilst still in safe mode, before going back to try in ordinary mode. If it works in safe mode but not in ordinary mode you probably have some add-on managing to cause problems
If you still have problems and bookmarks will not save see [[bookmarks not saved]] that probably indicates corrupt places.sqlite &/or localstore.rdf the linked article explains how to find and delete them.

All of my safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I did not delete or move them

My safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I have not deleted or moved them. Any ideas on how I can recover them?

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.

My bookmarks have disappeared and I can't add new ones. can anyone help?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

After install of Mountain Lion I have no facetime. It is nowhere in hd and ap store will not allow download. Will I need to re-instal ML in order to get it back??

After install of Mountain Lion I have no facetime. It is nowhere in hd and ap store will not allow download.
Will I need to re-instal ML in order to get it back?

Where are you, geographically?
I might suggest:
Give this a try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).
If this doesn't work, then reinstall Mountain Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

The favicons of my bookmarks have disappeared since I upgraded Firefox (Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8). What can I do ?

The favicons of my bookmarks have disappeared since I upgraded Firefox (Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8). What can I do (the responses for OS Lion don't work) ?

Hey Richardkep,
Take a look at [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#os=mac&browser=fx9 this article]. It discusses some of the known issues with the newest build. There are steps in there that should help resolve your issue.
Hopefully this helps!

Bookmarks have disappeared on two machine unable to restore from backup folder in Firefox. How can I restore my bookmarks?

All my bookmarks have disappeared on two machines. I tried used the restore function it did not work, and I tried to updated my Plugins and for some reason Firefox would not register the updates . How can I restore my bookmarks?

Immediately backup the profiles on both machines. Keep the profile backup files and folders somewhere safe outside the Firefox program and profile paths. The Windows Desktop would be a suitable location.
* see [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* also note the information on bookmarks [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Do you use Firefox sync ?
*[[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]
that is not itself a backup, but you may consider the synced second device to be a backup
Restored bookmarks overwrite the existing bookmarks. You may still have some left, but unfortunately you could have overwritten most or all of them with corrupt copies. If you backup the profile at least you have access to copies of whatever automatic backups were made. Note in future that it is good practice to periodically make backups.
Post back again once you have backed up the profiles, and read the linked articles.

Pages, numbers, iPhoto, iMovie and keynote will not update after installing yosemite and yes I have the original disk

How do I get pages, numbers, keynote, iPhoto and iMovie to update after installing OS X 10.10? I have the original disk.

Cancel the updates. Delete the apps. Redownload them from the Purchases tab in the App Store.

Bookmarks have disappeared, and unable to add new bookmarks

My bookmarks have all disappeared, and Firefox won't allow me to add new bookmarks either. I recently updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.10, but the problem only showed up a day later. If I try to restore, it just says, "Firefox unable to process the backup file."
I've tried all the suggestions on the help site, and none of those have worked (I don't have the add-on that causes bookmarks to disappear, I haven't updated from Firefox 3.5 or less, and I don't think Firefox has created a new profile).
Also: when I start up Firefox, it says, underneath the toolbar, "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem." However, I don't have any security software installed. I'm running a Mac.

Have you tried deleting the places.sqlite file and letting Firefox re-create it? For details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

Bookmarks have disappeared

When I opened Safari this morning all my bookmarks had disappeared. The only ones showing were the "classic" ones that are pre-entered by Apple (Apple, yahoo, google maps... etc).
I did a search for bookmarks.plist which gave nothing! I have however now located the file where it should be (I think), in library - safari.
Any idea where my bookmarks have gone??? And how I can get the back?
History is still showing.
Also when a do a search simply on "bookmarks" I get a file in the user library (-caches - metadata - safari - bookmarks) which contains a list of hundreds of this :
00A2B00C-0F3D-41C5-82BC-0041930AB4C3.webbookmark
0A7E599F-67D8-4AE8-B3EB-D4B9D84DA68A.webbookmark
0A13F04B-5AAE-489D-B536-277A8A9E4B1A.webbookmark
... all dated july 24 at the same time (19:37)
Is that normal? Can that explain anything? Should I delete them?
A lot of strange things have been happening lately with my computer (photos disappearing from iphoto, then showing up black when clicked upon, etc, etc - even after I made a new library with none of the old photos) so I've run all the maintenance programs necessary over the past days and also done a permissions run (btw the same permissions "repaired" keep showing up everytime a do this).
Can anyone give me a hint of what is happening and what I should do? I'm spending too many hours on trying to get my computer to run normally and trying to find lost data. I've been on Macs for 20 yrs + and never experienced so much trouble in so little time

Can anyone give me a hint of what is happening and what I should do?
How much free space is left on your hard drive? If you don't have at least 15% of your total drive capacity free at all times, things can spontaneously disappear, including email. If you don't have that much now, do some housecleaning and get rid of things you don't need or archive them somewhere else.
Can that explain anything? Should I delete them?
You can delete the ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari items; those are just files that Mac OS X creates when you access a web page. It has nothing to do with the apparant disappearance of your bookmarks.
