All my Bookmarks dissappeared. File folders are all empty!!!!

Opened up firefox and all my bookmark folders are gone! Yikes!!

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree. The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

I need to know how to "compress" the Folder Tree. The File folders are moving to the right and out of sight in Lightroom 5.

A couple of suggestions that may help:
- Make sure you've made the left-hand column as wide as possible by grabbing the divider between the column and the Library grid view.
- You can hide a parent folder from the display by right-clicking it and selecting Hide This Parent. This will shift all the child folders to the left.

Can't right click on my desktop. Files/Folders are also disappeared

The subject explains pretty much the situation.
The last days, I can't right click on my dekstop. Right click works on any other icon/app etc of course. At the same time, files/folders that I have in desktop, and I can see them through finder, are not displayed. However, if I login with the guest account, the problem is not reproduced.
Any ideas?
(I have a new macbook pro 13 retina display, running 10.9.1)

Sorry for the inconvenience.
It seems that there was a problem/miss configuration with an external program I installed (path finder).
Resolving this now

When importing files, folders are not updated?

Could anyone please help?
Since I reinstalled Lightroom on a new harddrive (after a crash) whenever I import photos into my library, they appear in "Previous Import", but they are not visible in the destination folder. Even if I, in the import screen, make a new folder, this folder does not appear in the library, folders column untill I manually synchronize the parent folder.
Could anyone give me advice as to how to correct this problem?
Thanks
Micha

Thanks for your answer.
Do you have the option "Do not import duplicates" enabled in Aperture's Import panel?
Yes I have.(But it should anyway show folders. It doesn't scan automatically all folders and subfolders. So I should see something).
When did this problem start? Directly after you upgraded to Mavericks or before?
It started few days ago. I did not update anything or I did not install anything new software etc.
What is the file system on your drive "Kovalevy"?
It should be HFS or HFS Plus? I use these disks only with this Mac.
Is it formatted for Mac? MacOS Extended (Journaled)? Is the drive directly connected? And the what are the permissions on this drive? Have you tried to set the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" option? You can set it in the "File > Get Info" panel for the drive in the Finder: This panel will also show you the file system in the "General" brick.
It is formated MacOS Extended (Journaled).
Yes I tried "Ignore Ownership on this volume". No effect.
I don't have any problems with Finder, Final Cut etc. I can open projects, copy files etc.
Thanks for your time.

After clean install of Leopard, unix file folders are visible in finder

I did a DoD wipe of my hdd in my Mac Mini.
I installed Leopard, no frills, and got it registered to me like when I bought it.
I wanted to check if all is will BUT in the root folder in Finder (Macintosh HD) it shows folders like BIN, VAR and so on.
I thought maybe I had hidden files shown on the finder so I checked, its not supposed to show hiden files. So I toggled it on, applied and then turned it off and applied again. They are not gone!
So I tried the terminal way with these commands
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALE
killall Finder
I also did a Disk Utility repair permissions.
These did not fix the issue. I am looking on Google and this seems to be fairly common but I haven't found a fix yet. Any ideas? I don't MIND they are there, but I have my wife who is not savy with the Mac yet so I am fearful she might remove the folders on accident especially with organizing her files, I have seen it happen on a Windows Machine.

Try these:
*cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/*
*open System/Installation/Packages/*
OPTION-click on the OSInstall.mpkg and select show package contents. Then, drill down to Resources and copy the "SetHidden" file to your home folder and the "hidden_MacOS9" file to the root level of your boot volume. Launch the Terminal app and run the command:
*sudo SetHidden / hidden_MacOS9*
and restart.

One of my folders are showing empty however there should be so many messages/mails in it. Please help beacuse that is my business folder.

My email has several subfolders and one of them is named as GLOBAL INTERIO. Whereas the mails in the folder are not displayed and folder is empty. Please help. Its my business folder and has all very very important messages. When i cross check if the folder in YAHOO mail directly it displays all mails there.

Hi again,
You may not need it/them at all, Preview, in your Applications folder will most likely handle it all.
I think you can uninstall from the dmg file...

I was moving bookmarks in safari and 2 complete folders have emptied their contents. The folders are still there. I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac

I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac as well as thge MacBook Air I was working on. HELP!!!

Hi,
There is NO need to put your whole questing in the "Questing Heather" therefore you can TYPE here. In the Text window as I did to.
Now to your questing:
So, you moved some Bookmarks and now 2 folders are completely empty.
I think that they dropped in a other folder during dragging the Bookmarks.
Did you check ALL of you Bookmark folder if they are there?
If you didn't delete the they have to be still there.

Read-only access permissions for new files/folders?

System:
Clean Install on new intel Xserve
10.4.8 Server w/ Open Directory
Windows clients can read/write completely fine...
Clients connecting using AFP (whether Standard or Kerberos authentication) can access files, but when new files/folders are created on the server, they register as full permissions for the user who created them, but not for the rest of the group.
The share(s) in question are set using POSIX from WGM: Full access for owner/group/everyone (changed it to this thinking it would help, but it does not). Of course, no one can make changes to a newly-created/deposited files/folders, which is just plain silly.
I can chmod the permissions recursively from a script (which fixes the problem, of course) on a regular basis so that its not (as much of) an issue, but there is still a 5-minute lag for the script to kick in, since we don't want to bombard the server with chmod requests every minute....which is unnecessary in the first place!
I have plenty of other setups which are identical but have no such issue...
Any reason why POSIX permissions on the share are being ignored from every user account?
Thanks,
k

"That's default posix behaviour no matter what access permissions you set on the sharepoint."
I'm afraid this is dead wrong. What matters most is how you set permissions on the share, not if you've chosen to inherit vs. using POSIX. POSIX is still used in inherit functions, though you can use ACL's to override them. In this case, ACL's are not being used on those shares (though we tried it).
After all, why would Apple (let alone anyone else) even offer the ability to change POSIX permissions on a share if it didn't have any effect? That would be somewhat contradictory in nature.
Like I said before, I have several other installations which are identically setup that have no such issues.
As for Windows, it is also not set to inherit permissions; we're setting those explicitly. And they work fine.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
k

Files/Folders Sticking to Mouse Pointer - Not Releasing (Reset PRAM & Apple Hardware Test Fail to Run)

I've been having two issues with my Late 2008 MacBook Pro 15-inch - Running OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). Unable to Reset the PRAM and Run Apple Hardware Test (AHT).
On a random basis - File/Folder icons are Sticking to the Mouse Pointer - Not Releasing. I've done everything from trashing finder preferences, making sure Universal Access preferences are off, Restoring Defaults in the Energy Saver System Preferences, Resetting the System SMC. Another post mentioned that this is being caused by the Graphics Driver not working correctly - and mentioned to put the MBP to sleep, then wake it up, and the files/folders are no longer sticking to the mouse pointer. This works for me and released the sticking items in the Finder.
OK, Good this is a simple fix, BUT, what is really causing this issue, and how may it be fixed or repaired?
I also tried to Reset the PRAM and Run the Apple Hardware test (AHT), and these both fail to run on my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5.
1) Resetting the PRAM:
Shut down the MBP, press the power button, and hold down at the same time <option><command>-P-R. The Reset PRAM process never starts up, but rather I receive the Padlock/Password Login which logs me into the Restore System Utilities. I'm unable to Reset the PRAM.
2) Apple Hardware Test (AHT):
Shut down the MBP, press the power button, and hold down the "D" key, the system boots up as normal and does not enter the AHT.
The File/Folder Finder sticking to the mouse pointer issue is very annoying. Does anyone have a solution to resolve this issue?
- Cheers

HI Barbara,
It sounds like the hard drive is failing or has failed. Boot from your Mac install disc and if you can run Disk Utility in case the startup disk needs repairs.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode

How Do I Hide Program Acessible Files/Folders?

Hi, lots of times when I install programs, it places useless files and folders in my most frequently used locations (e.g. Documents). This has resulted in loads of clutter and frustration. I have used programs such as Apimac's 'Secret Folder' and Altmomac's 'Hide Folders' but once files/folders are hidden they cannot be accessed by their associated programs thus inhibiting their functioning.
Is there anything I can do to hide these files/folders while allowing them to be program acessible. Thanks alot.

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
tell application "System Events"
set visible of (choose folder with invisibles) to false
end tell
The folder targeted will then disappear from the Finder; the change may not be recognized until the Finder is relaunched, which can be done by pressing the Control and Option keys while clicking on its Dock icon and choosing Relaunch. Folder can be replaced by file if needed. Your account needs to be the owner of the file or folder in question.

Bookmarks imported from IE has folders but are all empty (win7 64 bit)

bookmarks imported from IE shows folders, but all folders are empty and there are no bookmarks at all. IE8.0.7600 to FFox3.6.3 on win7 64bit

Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
Import the HTML file in Firefox 3: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
[[Importing Internet Explorer Favorites from another computer]]
[[Importing Bookmarks from an HTML File]]

Why don't all of my file folders in the Bookmarks Toolbar sync their contents? Some do, and some don't.

Problem seems to have started after updating to FF5. (At least, I do not remember having the problem with versions of FF4.) The contents of ALL file folders in the Bookmarks Menu are present and accounted for, but only some of the contents import for the file folders in the Bookmarks Toolbar. btw, I have Smart Bookmarks Toolbar installed. Could there be a compatibility issue with FF5?

You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.
