After reseting Firefox my profile has gone missing. How do I fix it?

Profile Missing pops up with message "your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
I have reset Firefox before without a problem. This is about the third time.

Did Firefox move your old profile to the desktop as "Old Firefox Data"?
It is possible that something went wrong with creating or updating the profiles.ini file, but may have created a new profile.
Are there still profiles here:
*C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.

    My iTunes has gone transparent - how can I fix it?
    When I load up iTunes I can see all of words but no background, its impossible to use! Please help.

    Glad to hear you got things working again, Claire.
    I had an IT friend of mine come over and it turns out it was the firewall, it wouldn't let iTunes have access to certain things so he granted it permission and it was instantly fixed.
    Thank you kindly for reporting back about your resolution. Apologies for the nosy question, but which make of firewall are you using? (Although I've seen firewall permissions implicated in other iTunes problems, I hadn't seen one associated with a "transparent" iTunes before ... so I was thinking it might be worth checking on the possibility with other folks reporting a transparent iTunes where the DirectX and/or video drivers don't seem to be involved.)

  • HT4623 my app screen has gone blank, how do I fix this problem?

    When I open my app store application the screen is blank.  I went into the app store and went to featured items and it just went white.  How do I get my screen back to normal?

    Shift-O changes the color.

  • After resetting Firefox, LCD screen has lost some of its sharpness - like there are pixels missing - WHY?

    I have a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate. Lately when I am in Firefox (running most current version), if I try to open more than one tab, Firefox slows down and I get the message "Mozilla Firefox not responding"; within a few seconds whatever site I am trying to open in the new tab opens; Firefox just seems to be sluggish. I finally tried resetting Firefox. After I did the reset, I noticed that the images on my monitor (Acer LCD S200hl) seemed to be less clear, even the wallpaper. As I type this, there appear to be holes in the image on screen, as if pixels are missing. Some of the letters look as if they are not completely filled in. The only change is that I reset Firefox.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    In case it's an incompatibility between Firefox and your graphics card driver, try disabling Firefox's use of hardware acceleration. You might have done this once before, but of course, the Reset turns it back on.
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    This will take effect after you exit and restart Firefox. Any difference?

    You need to work a little harder at helping others help you.  It cannot be done by texting one line at a time.
    Take the time to capture your screen to show what you are seeing.  It's very easy to post images here via the little camera icon just above the edit box in the web interface.

  • Bluetooth pane has gone missing since update from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3 on iMac mid 2007

    I have a iMac mid 2007 model. I was running os x 10.10.2 with no problems. I update to os x 10.10.3 for the security issue. Now my bluetooth pane has gone missing from system preferences. I have tried everything suggested in suggested in support as it seems others have suffered the same thing on different macs. Nothing has that was suggested there has corrected this issue. Does anyone have any ideas apart from using a wired mouse and keyboard or using time machine to revert to os x 10.10.2? Let me know please.
    Also booting up is slow to say the least, I can live with that though unless there is an as yet unknown by me fix.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • /private/var/tmp has gone missing!  ***?!?!?!?

    Please, I need help on this one. I had an iBook G4 crash on me, then get as far as the white Apple screen with pinwheel before freezing. I tried running Disk Utility off of an OS X install disk, and it found no volume structure errors. However, when I tried repairing permissions on it, Disk Utility was reporting that the directory /private/var/tmp has gone missing, and it could not repair permissions.
    What gives? How can the whole directory get fried? How can I replace it? I've already tried doing an archive and install, but the OS X installed won't let me do an archive and install, probably because this folder is missing.
    Can anyone help?

    Get Prosoft Data Rescue to recover the data to an external hard disk. Shut down the computer, disconnect the drive any other third party peripherals and then next after that do an erase and install of the operating system. You will probably want to use a CD burner to burn off less frequently used data on occasion at least a couple times so that your hard drive does not fill up with unessential stuff.

  • My iPhone USB driver has gone missing

    My iPhone USB driver has gone missing and won't recognize when I try to update from the device drivers... can someone give a suggestion on how to get it back?  It went MIA when I upgraded to the newest iTunes today.

        Burd
    I'm sorry to hear your phone is not responding! I'd love to get it back up and running. Can you press and hold both the front button and the top button? You may need to hold it for a few minutes, but an Apple will appear when the device resets. Keep us posted!

  • WAN choice in FN-F5 dialog for TP61 has gone missing

    After upgrading to Win 7 (i have a T61 originally marked as a type 6458-CTO) the WAN choice has gone missing from the dialog shown with the FN-F5 key. 802.11 and Bluetooth are still there and working. **I have installed** all the latest drivers I could find on the Lenovo site. **I have checked** that the cables re connected. And **I have tested** with another card (from a working computer without Win7). All to no avail.
