All of my bookmarks have disappeared! Tried all the troubleshooting guides I can find, still nothing. Help!
This evening when I opened firefox, all the tabs from my previous session were there, but all of my bookmarks and history had disappeared. I received an error message, and tried all of the troubleshooting advice on this age:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional
I then tried resetting firefox, and so now all my tabs and theme are gone, but still my bookmarks have not reappeared. I have tried manually creating a new profile, and copying the old files, but that doesn't work either.
My firefox is technically out of date because I have an old computer, and I know this might be part of the problem. But I really just want my bookmarks back!
Thanks for your help.
Did you previously try to delete all places.* (sqlite) files in the Firefox profile folder?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Do you have any JSON backup files (bookmarks-####-##-##.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder that you can use to restore the bookmarks?

I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again…still nothing.
Try closing iTunes and reset your iPad. After the iPad starts up, try the download again.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the iTunes app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
Registry errors - tried all the fixes I can find, still nothing - help?
I've been getting the registry error message on my iTunes re: no drivers being installed for importing and burning CDs, please reinstall iTunes, blah blah blah. Reinstalled iTunes to no avail. Tried the fix that involved editing the registry, rebooted, restarted iTunes - same error message. Tried downloading drivers from here:
http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.php
Installed drivers, rebooted, restarted iTunes - same error message. What else can I try? I just want my iTunes to work correctly.
For the record, I now have an HP with an AMD Phenom II X2 B53 processor. iTunes has worked on this computer since I got it, so I don't think that's the problem.I've also tried, after trying the other two things that were supposed to fix the problem, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes AGAIN. I got the message that iTunes installed successfully, but then when it started up, I got the same error message about the registry and drivers and whatnot. I'm about ready to scream.

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. -
I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?
I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

The day after Thanksgiving I had access to all of my bookmarks. There were no updates I entered for Firefox. In the late afternoon I tried to continue my work and all of my bookmarks had disappeared. I thought it was just a glitch. Went directly to the site and tried to re-enter my bookmark and Firefox will not accept it. What is going on?
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I have looked at prior questions, many of which look similar, but none of which are exactly the same. I tried to restore my bookmarks to those available on a prior date, and got an error message saying "unable to process the backup file."
Figured it out! I deleted the places.sqlite folder by dragging it into the trash, then rebooted. I lost all my existing bookmarks, but that was no big deal.
To find the places.sqlite folder, go to Help, Troubleshooting Information, click on "show in finder" (under application basics), and the folder is in there. I was very nervous about deleting anything, but Firefox just regenerates the folder when you reboot. -
All my photos have disappeared from iphoto!!! I can find them in spotlight
Hello All! Help!
I was importing photos from a compact flash card into iphoto which was successful. I powered down for the night, the next time I opened up iphoto my entire library seemed to have disappeared(about 5000 images!) All that was left was the new import. It was as though the prog had reset itself there were no albums etc left at all. I understand that my photos live in the iphoto library folder in my pics but that about it! I have never understood the bizarre set up for these sub folders and how they work. Nor do I understand the other elements of the iphoto folder i.e. iphotodb etc. I noticed that I had two library folders as well and when I spotlighted jpg's that I have at least doubled up on images. Its a mess! Can anyone tell me exactly the way it should all be set up, in laymen's terms? Where the folders should live and in what order? And how to get rid of all the duplicate jpgs that have somehow been created? Without having to go through 5000 images by hand!!!Thanks for your response Terence.
That is what I've done already. iPhoto could not open. After the hard drive and logic board were replaced (for other issues) and OS X Leopard reinstalled, I rebuilt the library manually, and now the same thing has happened again, iPhoto crashes on start up. iPhoto Manager did not fix it, iPhoto cannot rebuild its own library for some reason, and I don't want to have to repeatedly rebuild the library by hand having already done it once. I've noted other posts about keeping constant library backups, which I can start doing, but I was wondering if perhaps going to a newer version of iPhoto would resolve this issue. There are so many similar posts on here perhaps iLife 5.0.4 is really not compatible with Leopard. I would prefer to get this version of iLife to work instead of trying to upgrade. -
I had a substantial amount of spreadsheets on my iPad mini and the numbers app as well as a substantial number of pages documents in the pages app. The key word there was had! All my files have disappeared. And on top of that every time I go into preferences to turn on the cloud option it keeps turning itself off. Does anybody know what is going on I would love to have my documents back please help.
I suppose you have checked the following settings:
1. Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On
2. Settings>iCloud>Documents and Data>On -

I Have just updated to iOS 8 and have lost all my Pages docs this is a huge disaster. Is there any way to get them back ? I hope that they are in the cloud but I have never used it to get anything back before. Can any one help. Is it possible to do this without a PC or laptop?
You really need to try this on a computer, not on the iPad.
Seeing how what is in the cloud is also on the iPad, if the content is not on the iPad, there is a good chance that the content is lost. But you can try logging into www.icloud.com in a web browser on a computer and log into your account and see if you can get into the Pages app. You may have to sign up for iCloud drive if you didn't do so already. Make SURE you that you read the blurb that will pop up in that window in iCloud for more information. -
iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps. I have more space available than needed for the app. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that?
You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./ -

does anyone have an idea as i dont really want to buy a new ipod and i need it as i am a dance teacher and i dont really like taking my laptop with me.
If you mean that the iPod does not appear in iTunes then:
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Then try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
