After restart, MANY bookmarks are GONE....  where are they???

Recently I have had to do a lot of install/restart... install/restart.... install restart (about 8 so far today)... that is annoying enough in itself, but then I noticed that a ton of my bookmarks are GONE. Where the heck are they and how to I get them back....???
and how do I make that blue marble stop bouncing..... I'm tired of the install/restarts already!!!!!
Thanks.

Safari bookmarks should be found in /Users/<your name>/Library/Safari and are named 'Bookmarks.plist' If you can't find them there then do a search of your Mac or alternatively if you have a backup restore them from there.
sig is quite correct in saying that some updates won't show up until after another update or updates have been done so it is not unusual to have to go through the update process more than once. However, it would appear from what you have posted that something is not working properly as the number of times you say that Software Update has run appears to be excessive. I suggest you start by opening Disk Utility and repairing permissions then run Software Update, make a note of the updates installed including the versions. Open Software Update again and see if the updates listed to be installed are new or the same ones you have just installed. If they are new updates then install them and repeat the process until you get a message to the effect that your software is up to date. In the event that you see updates that should have been installed but weren't then go to the Apple Downloads page, search for the relevant software, download it and try to install from the downloaded file.
Post back if you have any problems.

    Can you see the old profile in your desktop?
    Yes, enter in your profile folder, enter in bookmarks folder there are about 10 backups? Are they .json file? if yes go to Firefox '''Bookmarks''' >> '''Show all bookmarks''' >> '''Import and backup''' >> '''Restore''' >> '''Chose File''' then select one fo that json files
    No, try go to your profile, maybe it still in Mozilla folder:

  • Clicked "synchronize now" instead of wait for synck to load my bookmarks- are they gone?

    Hi, I have a problem here.
    Reinstalled system, also installed fresh FF, i logged in into sync and nothing happened. I thought, that "synchronize now" is for loading my content from sync. Instead, I loaded black, fresh FF settings & bookmarks into my sync. Does it mean, that my previous bookmarks saved on the server are gone forever?
    I was collecting my bookmarks for something like 7 years. I'm depressed :C I need them to work. What can I do?
    I was always backing up my bookmarks in the file, but not this time. And no, I don't have any previous versions on disc anymore. Please help.

    Hi Lunarinstincts,
    I am sorry however without a back up there are no work arounds that I can suggest to recover this data. Due to the merging model of Firefox Sync it sounds like the storage was overwritten with the same computer name.
    For further questions please see the Firefox Accounts [https://accounts.firefox.com/legal/terms Terms of Service]

  • Apple TV not quite right, restarts needed often - are they all this way?

    I have a 40GB Apple TV that I keep in 'Sync' mode with my Mac Pro iTunes library. Most of the time, about 65%, the Apple TV works just fine. But the other times here are the odd and random issues I get:
    • When buying TV Shows or movies I get an "Accessing iTunes Store" that just sits there spinning forever. A restart often solves the issue, and sometimes after the restart the "Ready to Play" dialog box pops up first thing.
    • After waking the Apple TV after a day of inactivity, I will go to play an encoded movie (that is coming from the Mac Pro) and Apple TV will say "File type not supported" or something like that. Waiting 5 minutes, or restarting, fixes the issue and the very same movie file plays fine.
    • Though mine is set to 'sync' within iTunes, this still allows me to play movies and music via 'streaming'. But this is very inconsistent. Sometimes streaming will be very fast and movie playback (even HD) will start immediately. Other times it will take FOREVER to begin movie playback - the progress bar loads but literally moves about 10% per minute.
    • Why are some TV shows there right away, and others not at all? For instance, Modern Marvels : "new" shows playing on TV are picked up my DVR, but they don't ever seem to show up on iTunes?
    Any thoughts on the above issues are GREATLY appreciated... I've had this awhile and it's really been a lot of headache so far.

    Yes, I changed the channel to 6 (as was recommended in another post) and restarted everything. Worked fine (as usual) for a couple days. Went to get a couple new shows and it did the same "Accessing iTunes" message again - I let it spin for a good 2 mins and then retried. Spun for another minute or so with no change. So cancelled out, restarted Apple TV, went back to same show and bought it right away with no issues.
    FRUSTRATING. Literally, I must restart 2 times per week, sometimes more. Sometimes less.
    Our primary goal was to let Apple TV replace our DirecTV service. We really hate commercials! LOL - but with not much luck on the Apple TV, I think we'll need to wait until Apple spends more time on this thing.
    Mine's on eBay, so for now the problem is solved. Thanks for the replies...

  • Strange trace files after code generation! Are they generated by XText?

    We have a DSL from which we generate C-Code (.c and .h files). The project build (especially on Windows platform) is very slow mainly due to refreshing and indexing (by Eclipse CDT) mysterious trace files.
    Currently we don't know which part of the framework is responsible for generating these trace files (CDT, XText, Eclipse, whatever ...).
    We were not able to analyse the content of the trace file, since none of the files appear at the file system.
    The filename syntax is as follows:
    For a C source code file "/project/src-gen/my_c_function.c" the following trace file gets generated: "/project/src-gen/.my_c_function.c._trace"
    Does anybody know if XText is responsible for this ?

    Hi
    Sounds like a bad bug. I would progress in two ways.
    Load EGIT as source and profile to see where the time goes.
    Use Wireshark to see if unexpected Internet traffic is occurring quite
    possibly with long timeouts.

  • Markers not showing up after opening a saved project. Where did they go!?

    My first time using Prelude CS6 yesterday and had good success with ingesting, marking clips (into subclips, comments, etc.), saving the marked movies, and them sending the subclips to Premiere. They dumped into Premiere as expected.
    However, this morning I started a new project in Premiere and planned on using the same clips I marked up in Prelude. I wanted to do a little more marking so I opened the Prelude project I saved yesterday and the movie files are there but none of the subclips, comments, or other markers are showing up.
    The only thing I can think of is that I did not do a rough cut in Prelude, but I don't see why that would mean losing the markers from the source footage.
    Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks...
    -John

    Interesting...
    so this morning in preparing to upload a PL project for you, I
    decided to try a new test PL project with different footage. The one I
    played with this morning ("GrandCanyon_1.plproj" in the Folder
    "Prelude_test") seems to work fine! I threw in some markers, saved, closed
    PL, re-opened PL and the markers were there.
    So I did the same thing using some footage from the project that I posted
    about (ingested some footage, placed a sub clip marker, saved, closed,
    re-opened), and the markers were gone. Perhaps it has to do with the source
    footage?
    Anyhow, I'm uploading the files to my ftp if you want to check them out.
    They should  be uploaded by 10am central.
    Access info sent in separate email.
    Thanks!

  • How do I keep my tab groups in my toolbar after restarting...all of a sudden they disappear on restart. I have the restore tabs option on but the groups aren't

    I have 2 problems.......
    1.recently on restarting Firefox, all my tab groups disappear...the tabs there but not in my tab groups.... I have the preference set to open all tabs and can't find anything to say open tabs in groups....can you help? I am working on a Mac desktop version 10.93 with Firefox version 30.0....
    2.also on the Firefox homepage there is no "restore previous session" button.....

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • My settings have gone where ate they?

    My settings app has disappeared from my iPhone where did it go?

    Have you checked all your home screens?
    How do you find spotlight?
    From the first home screen, press the home button once.  The type "Settings" in the search bar.  Once found, launch Settings from there by tapping it.

  • Firefox did an update on 5/4/2011 and now all my bookmarks are gone?

    why did all my previous bookmarks disapear when i started firefox this morning it was like i never had them at all i cant even go back in the history to find them i tryed to relogin on my pc and the whole reboot thing but nothing
    OMG they are gone and now i have places i can not get into cause they are gone!!!!!!!!
    To bad firefox has to update like every 3 months

    When did this happen?
    Firefox 4 saves 10 rotating backup, one each day that you start Firefox. So you can try to restore the bookmarks from an older JSON backup. The file size can be an indication about how many bookmarks are in the file.

  • My bookmarks are gone. How do I get them back?

    A few days ago I noticed that about half my bookmarks were gone. Now they have all disappeared.
    How do I get them back?

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
    If you have used Firefox for more that five days since that loss then you may no longer have a JSON backup to restore the bookmarks from.<br />
    If it happened less than five days ago then immediately make a copy of all the .json backups in the the bookmarkbackups folders to prevent losing older copies (Firefox only keeps the last five of the daily JSON backups).

  • My bookmarks are disappearing.

    My bookmarks have started disappearing one by one. Perhaps there's a limit as to how many bookmarks we can save? I'm going to need to start saving bookmarks/favorites using another browser I guess. Not all my bookmarks are gone but it looks like the most recent ones, so that's why I'm guessing it's just that I have too many bookmarks? They're showing up when I click on "show all bookmarks" but not when I click on "bookmarks."
    This is very frustrating. Had to "register" in order to post a question. My username was taken, password wasn't the correct number of characters, etc. That was after being forced to look at several other questions similar to mine.
    I guess I'll just post this question but, honestly, it took up too much of my time to post it. I updated my Firefox browser as was suggested to another questioner and I clicked on Import/Backup then clicked on Restore and now I lost even more bookmarks --permanently.
    Oh well, I guess this isn't such a tragedy. I'll just forgo bookmarking impt web sites and maybe write them down or favorite them under another browser and just limit the number of sites I bookmark. Don't have much more time to put into this.

    Sorry to hear about the registration difficulties, and that you didn't find the suggestions helpful. The question flow is subject to constant revision, so your input is useful.
    Now, on to the question: Firefox should never lose bookmarks, and I'm not aware of any practical limit.
    When you are trying to access the missing bookmarks, are you using the Bookmarks menu from the menu bar or drop-down toolbar button, or the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+b opens and closes it), or the Bookmarks Toolbar?
    When you find the missing bookmarks in the Library dialog (the dialog that opens when you Show All Bookmarks) are they on the Bookmarks Menu (or a folder on the menu), Bookmarks Toolbar (or a folder on the toolbar), or in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder?
    The Bookmarks Menu doesn't work well if the list gets very long because it doesn't have an obvious way to scroll (you will see very tiny triangles at the top and bottom that you have to hover your mouse over). If the problem is a very long Bookmarks Menu, and moving bookmarks into folders isn't convenient for your style of working, there are some tricks allowing you to add a scroll bar. Please ask about that if you're interested.

  • Bookmarks are either duplicated ort moved to the unsorted bookmarks folder; some are deleted and older deleted ones return.

    I posted before how many bookmarks are deleted, duplicated, etc. ut what I am seeing now is that many are moved to Unsorted Bookmarks, Some are still being deleted, duplicated and ones deleted months ago return (happening less now). How do I prevent Firefox from moving bookmarks to that folder without my "permission and how do I delete automated backups as of the bookmarks (which I believe may be part of the problem). Note this happens after every PC cold start, has also happened while I was looking at it and all of the usual suggestion DO NOT WORK: deleting the "places" file, running that add on that supposed to fix it, etc.: ou can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Safari 6.0 is not saving my bookmarks after restart

    Just bought Macbook pro and noticed that my bookmarks weren't saving after rebooting.   Bookmarks are there if I close and reopen Safari, but not after rebooting.   Haven't installed any 3rd apps/extensions except flash.   Also running Kapersky.  Appreciate any help on this. 

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
