After replacing the OS on my laptop, how can I sync my bookmarks back to that laptop using my existing sync account? There doesn't seem to be a path to doing this based upon the instructions I've seen.

I've done a clean install of Windows 7 to my laptop and so have of course lost my previous Firefox installation. I do have a sync account and have sync'd my bookmarks to my Android phone. I can't find an option in Firefox to sync bookmarks back to the computer from which the sync account originated. There is of course no sync account set up in the newly installed browser, and my only practical option is to create a new account. I am afraid to enter my current account information here, because I don't want to take the chance of having Sync overwrite my stored records with the pristine state of my newly installed browser. When I click the link for existing accounts, I'm directed to the "Add a Device" screen, but this screen presumes I'm sync'ing to a device other than the one I currently working on. I can't discern a way of adding my laptop as a "new" device.

K Thanks Coach,
The problem isn't so much that I dont have the facility to rate the files... I can rate tracks from my library using Media Monkey.
The issue is more that I have a couple of thousand unrated tracks - most of them are new songs that i've never listened to before (I work in a music store!). I want to be able to listen to them and rate them when I go for a run, and then have the ratings transferred onto the computer library.

By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?

Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

My iTunes laptop died followed by my iPhone having to be restored the following day... how can I get all my back ed up info back??

My XP laptop upon which I ran iTunes died two days ago... then the very next day I turned off my iPhone and upon turning it back on it needed to be restored!! This I had to do on my newer W7 laptop by downloading and installing Itunes (as i hadn't put it on that laptop)... My phone was already running IOS 5... which it re-installed but my phone has been wiped clean.
I originally used an ext HD for all my (known) iTunes files.... and I have plugged this into my newer laptop... my music files are there, so I can sync those, but my phone cannot see Films or Apps... (although I can see a file full of my Apps???)
My main concern is my missing contact list, email data etc... so 2 questions:
1 - How can I access all my backed up data (contacts, email photo's etc?)
2 - How do I access my App's and Films?
Any help is appreciated... Chris

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.

The have stolen my laptop, how can I find it? is it possible to use serial number to find it?

Unless you have an active MobileMe account with Find My Phone activated for the laptop and the laptop is connected to a WiFi site, then you cannot locate it. File a police report and file with your insurance company.

I unchecked all the songs in my library, how can I get them checked back?

I was trying to uncheck some songs in my library so that they would not transfer to my ipod. I guess i held down shift or control to uncheck the group when I had a few songs selected. Now all my songs in my library are unchecked. I want to update my ipod but I am afraid that when I plug it back up that it will erase all the songs off my ipod since they all are unchecked in my library. I have quite a bit of music in my library and do not want to recheck the songs that I want to transfer again. Is there any way to rebuild the original checked songs?
thanks

hey thanks, I really wanted to check only the
original songs i had checked, some 15 gigs worth
instead of the 30+ gigs i have. I wanted to know if
there was a way recheck only the original songs
instead of clicking every single song
No, there is not.
You might find it advisable to make a smart playlist of "Checked Songs" and to occassionally back this playlist up into a normal playlist. This way, if you accidently check or uncheck everything, all you have to do is to pick your checked backup playlist and check all the songs in it.
You can make a Smart Playlist for checked songs by using a rule of 'Comment is not dkjbdsk' (or some other nonsense) and turning on the "Match Checked Songs Only" flag. Then you can back that up into a non-smart playlist by selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and using the File->New Playlist from Selection menu option.

I need to retrieve my bookmarks from another laptop which doesn't boot to Windows any more. I have managed to copy the Firefox Profiles folder from that laptop - how do I now import bookmarks to a new laptop?

I've tried replacing the contents of the old Profile folder into the new folder and I have also tried just replacing the urlclassifier3.sqlite file, but that doesn't work either.
Googling hasn't helped me over the last 24 hours but surely there must be a way to do this - right?
Many thanks,
Anthony

Yes, there is a way to restore your bookmarks from your old laptop to the new one. Note that just replacing the contents of old Profiles folder will not work because your profiles.ini file contains a different profile name.

How can I get my bookmarks back after uninstalling Firefox?

When uninstalling Firefox, it asked me if I wanted to delete my bookmarks, etc. I clicked in the check box to delete them, but after a couple days, I realized I should have saved them. Someone told me there is probably a temp folder that is hidden somewhere for just this reason. Can anyone help me get my bookmarks back please? Oh yea, my OS is Vista and I have reinstalled Firefox 3.6.8

You can try with an undelete program like Recuva if you can restore a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

How can I get my bookmarks back on my new computer?

In short, I've got a list of links that used to be my bookmarks, but there is no file in which they're all together. How can I get all of them into Firefox at once?
Detailed version:
Before my laptop got replaced, I backed things up on an external hard drive, but it only backed up certain file types. I've retrieved things from my backup now, and the only things I've found from my bookmarks is a folder in the old "User" folder called "Favorites" and it has the list of all my old bookmarks from some previous export (not sure if that's from IE or Firefox, but I'd take either, because they were mostly synced up).

Did you save your information before re-installing Windows? If you did, [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] may help

After buying and downloading videos from itunes, how can I burn them to a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player? I have tried burning the playlist from itunes, and the disc would not play in anything I put it into.

Out of excitement, I bought both seasons of the tv show "Sym Bionic Titan" from the itunes store, since I can't find it anywhere else, in hopes of being able to burn them to dvds and watch them. When I burned the disc from itunes, it would not play in any player I put it in. Not my dvd player, not my ps3, nothing. So the only place I can watch the show is on my computer, which is definitely not what I had in mind when I purchased it. Is there a way to burn the videos to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

Having upgraded to Firefox 4 how do I get my bookmarks back on my (UK Yahoo) home page - they are there in the library OK!

My bookmarks are all happily organised and in the bookmarks library, How do I get the bookmarks pane back on the (LHS) of my screen?
My home page is UK Yahoo.

Glad to have helped.

After replacing the OS on my laptop, how can I sync my bookmarks back to that laptop using my existing sync account? There doesn't seem to be a path to doing this based upon the instructions I've seen.
