Backup restored, but my settings are lost for firefox.

I formatted my computer, so had to reinstall windows 7 and then firefox 5. I backed up the firefox folder and followed directions to put it in the right folder once firefox was installed again. Despite doing this several times with restarts of firefox and the computer, all my settings (Including bookmarks, addons and themes) are lost. I am back to scratch with a new firefox and none of my saved things.

You should only copy data from a saved profile folder that you really need.<br />
See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Also if you restore a full profile folder then you need to replace the file profiles.ini as well, otherwise Firefox won't find that profile or you need to use the Profile Manager to create new profile and choose that copied profile as the location for the new profile.

  • Music wouldn't play on Touch 4 iOS5 - after trying everything I decided to restore my iPod and managed to retrieve my apps, but all songs are lost now - any way to recover them?

    After my third day of iOS5 songs stopped playing; sometimes they would randonmly skip, sometimes I couldn't open them at all. It appeared as if it was playing but no sound came of it. (Videos and other apps with sound worked well).
    I searched here but there was no definite answer so I restored my iPod. Now I recovered all my apps, but my songs are lost. I have them in my computer, but getting those 500 songs sorted again (covers, genres, ordering, all of them had lyrics)... it will take way too long. Any way I can retrieve them?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Proxy Settings Are Lost

    I have several Mac clients that run OS X (10.6-10.8) and all are configured to access the internet via the same proxy server.
    Within System Preferences, each user has their proxy server login details saved - no problem there.
    Periodically (and not down to user password changes), the settings are lost and the users then have to set up the login details again to get out onto the internet.
    Can anyone explain why the System Preferences would lose these details?

    Hi Gary, kind of a long shot, but I suspect a past network connection is coming into play.
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
    10.7 & 10.8…
    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    If using Wifi/Airport...
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    Fill in the Proxy again.

  • I keep getting the message that my registry settings are missing for importing and burning cd's and dvd's.  Why?

    I keep getting the message that my registry settings are missing for importing and burning cd's and dvd's.  Why?
    I've completely uninstalled iTunes per the support instructions and reinstalled.  But I still get the error message each
    time I click on the iTunes icon.  I went into iTunes support and searched for registry settings and got an error message 404.
    It was no help.

    Hey JWeaver208,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. If you continue to see this message after uninstalling and re-installing iTunes, you may need to install the device filter in the Windows registry, as outlined in this resource:

  • What compressor settings settings are best for 1080i  to output to DVD using DVD Studio pro?

    What compressor settings settings are best for 1080i  to output to DVD using DVD Studio pro? I used FCP 6, exported using Quick Time.

    DVDs are only SD. There was at one time HD-DVDs, which DVD SP and Compressor can make, but HD-DVDs will only play in Macs and, now obsolete HD-DVD players. HD-DVDs will not play back in standard DVD players or Blu-Ray players. If you want to make a "DVD will be played on DVD player for TV" disc, your only choice is SD.
    If you want HD video on a disc, then you want Blu-Ray. You will need a Blu-Ray burner (Apple does not make a Blu-Ray burner so you will have to buy a third-party Blu-Ray burner), Blu-Ray discs and software that will make a Blu-Ray disc. That could be the latest version of Compressor, or FCPX, or Toast, or Encore.

  • TS4062 I've done all of these recommended steps.  My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync.  Any other suggestions?

    I've done all of these recommended steps.  My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync.  My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3.  Any suggestions?

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

    what settings are required for DP_PROC_TY,CT_PROC_TY,TEND_TYPE
    Thanks a lot
    Regards
    VinayKrishna

    Hi Vinay,
    1. For DP_PROC_TY  you need to give the transaction type or R/3 document type you want to use for creating direct material POs. Could be ECDP given in the standard or copy of which you might  have created.
    2. For CT_PROC_TY it is either PCTR or GCTR depending what you want to create local contract or GOA.
    3. TEND_TYPE can have BID, RFCR etc depending on what type of bid invitaion you want to create form sourcing cockpit or as follow on bid invitaion.

    Question
    I want to install Google Toolbar for Firefox, but this is availaible only for Firefox 4. Can I replace My Firefox 6 with this older one Firefox 4, please?

    Which Windows version are you running?
    Try to run the Firefox installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator) and maybe the Firefox program also just one time.

  • Did backup, restored and all Notes are gone

    I did a sync and then performed a restore. I seem to recall an update might have been done during the restore. None of the notes in the NOTES app are there now. Had some very important notes of meetings there.
    I have done a soft reboot. Notes was not set up to sync to Mail. All of the other Apple apps were successfully restored. Only my NOTES app came back with nothing restored. I've tried iPhone Backup Extractor but the instructions I followed were for a jailbroken iPod. Messed with Disk Aid 4.12 but could not figure it out either. Can these lost notes somehow be transferred to my iPod Touch?? Anybody have a solution? Certainly would be appreciated.

    You guys talking about nots in Mail or the Stickies?
    If in Mail, open Mail, click on the Notes mail box to display the Notes list. If the Notes mail box is gone, just create a new note and the Notes MB will be back. Once in the Notes MB, launch TimeMachine (assuming you have one) and go back in time until your notes reappear. Select all and click 'Restore'.

  • Backup & Restore loses "Groups" in "Contacts" - request for fix

    Hi,
    I am a new Blackberry user and have found that the Blackberry Link backup/restore functions fail to keep track of my Groups within my Contacts list.  When I carry out a Restore all my Contacts are restored but all my Groups within Contacts disapperar (although the contacts within my Groups are still retained in my Contacts list).
    Does anyone have a fix for this issue please?
    I am using Link v 1.2.1 (build18) and BB release 10.2.1.2977 on my Z10.
    I do not want to Sync my phone contacts with my Address Book on my Mac since I use them independently.
    Thank you for your advice!!

    Yeah, for some reason Groups are not restored. Syncing wouldn't work anyway since groups are not sync'd either.
    I would suggest updating to the latest version of LInk which is 1.2.3.48. I haven't tested for the backup/restore of groups, though.

  • Cmos settings are lost when unplugged

    Every time my computer is unplugged the cmos settings are gone when I restart. It's been like this since I got it 2 weeks ago. I thought flashing the bios with the latest version might help but it didn't. The battery voltage is 3.504V.

    A weak battery can still have the correct voltage and still be bad due to not supplying the correct amount of current. There is another possible solution. Remove your battery jumper and put it back on again. You may have a bad connection. The same holds true for the battery clip. If those don't solve it then you may want to pop for a new battery.
