Bookmarks and History now blank and not functioning.

I turned on Sync on a computer that does not connect to the cloud. I have since disabled it. However, history and bookmarks are cleared and I can't add to them. Also the url of the site I am on does not always display in the menu slot.

You can install the Places Maintenance extension.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
You can click its Options/Preferences button in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" to run a check.
You may have to close and restart Firefox if requested.
If that didn't help then you need to go to the Firefox profile folder and delete all places files in it to make Firefox create a new file.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

'''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there. <br />

Firefox 5 updated - now it does not function - just a blank window. Pull down menus appear but do not function. Am I missing an obvious point to allow this browser to function?

I do not understand how to correct this malfunction.

I suspect it has something to do with the java but not sure
Just so you'll know, there is no Java on that page. There is, however JavaScript. You should know that those two things are different as night and day.
To fix your problem, change this -
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
</script>
</head>
to this -
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
-->

If you are going to change your AppleID login you will need to log out and back in on all your devices. Turn off 'Find My iPhone/iMac/iPod' first or you will find yourself unable to sign out and be stuck.

There is a possibility that your digitizer has malfunctioned. I had a similar problem on my iphone 3gs whereas the lower left part of my screen didnt respond to touch at all. Take your phone to an Apple store and have them fix it for you. I fixed my iphone 3gs' digitizer by replacing it myself because my phone was out of warranty, and there arent any Apple stores nearby. But you should definitely take your phone to Apple store and let them fix it for you, because in order to replace digitizer on iphone 4, you really need to be skillful when it comes to phone repairs,and attemting any repairs yourself voids your warranty. Hope I helped. Cheers mate

Keyboard click and external speaker periodically do not function

My IPHONE keyboard click and external speaker occasionaly do not function. Aftyer a time they operate ok. Any thoughts?

Hey jackphyl,
When you adjust the speaker volume does it show the volume and say (headphones)? If so there could be lint in the headphone jack.

I have already set up my iMAP account and recently my trash is not function, i.e. I cannot move my unwanted mail to the trash. How can I retrieve my trash back. Whe I use my ipad to view my mail, I can move the unwanted mail to the trash without any difficulties. How come I can perform moving the unwanted message from the ipad to the trash but not the notebook and desktop.

You might get better responses if you post in the Mountain Lion forum.
Are you using Apple's Mail? What happens when you press the delete key?

My Ipad has a message on the screenthat indicates that the unit has not been backed up for two weeks. When I press the OK icon nothing happens. I tried to shut the unit down and the red slider does not function.

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo reappears, release both buttons and await restart.

I updated my iphone and restored, now it is not being activated as this cannot be done anywhere in India. the help desk at a store asked me to restore it but there isn't any restore button now!

A compatible SIM card would be from AT&T and would not work in India. It sounds as if your iPhone was hacked to unlock it and when you updated it, the hack was removed, thus relocking it to AT&T.

Spilled soup on MBA keyboard, now Keyboard will not function

spilled soup on MBA keyboard, now Keyboard will not function. it initailly worked for a while, but after a while the keyboard doesnt respond, not even the power button (holding it down). if i have to bring it to apple. how much would it likely cost... i am really having rough times with money, and was about to sell it... Thanks

That all depends on whether any of the soup made it past the keyboard to the motherboard. If it did then the MB may be toast.
Go to ifixit.com and look up your MBA. If you can remove the keyboard, rinse it very thoroughly with distilled water (distilled water is non-conductive) followed by a rinse with pure isopropyl alcohol (not the 70% stuff you can get in a drugstore) to absorb the water. Let it dry for a few days in a desiccant (put it in a porous bag (pillow case or similar) and add the desiccant over and around it and then place that in an airtight container. The more desiccant, the better.) A good desiccant is clay cat litter, baked in an oven for a few hours @ 300+ °F. Afterwards, cross your fingers and plug it in.
Careful, the alcohol is flammable.

The icons in the bookmark tool bar are blank and the text that use to be below the icon is gone. I now have to cursor over the blank icons to see the text and the one I want. Can the icon/text customization be returned?

In the Navigation Toolbar, the icons "Back", "Forward" etc. show the small icon and the descriptive text below the Icon. My Bookmark Toolbar use to have the same icon/text format but at some point, possibly a browser update, that changed. Currently, I do have a visible Bookmark Toolbar BUT the icons do not show the website icon, as previously, and the text below each icon is gone. I an cursor over each icon and the text becomes visible next to the icon. This is a bit of a pain to find a bookmark. Can I do a customization to return to the icon/text format.
Was this changed because browser users requested this option, or was it an internal decision.? If the later why make such changes when not requested?
Ed Sander

That wasn't a change in Firefox. It sounds like something is broken in your Firefox installation, or you are misunderstanding the different between the Bookmarks Toolbar and the other Toolbars.
In the Bookmarks Toolbar the text appears next to the website icon, not below the icon as with the other two Toolbars, and it's not switchable between text and no text as with the other Toolbars. With both the bookmark icon and the Bookmark name missing, something is broken in your installation. You need to do a little troubleshooting.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

If your problem isn't related to an extension, your bookmarks data base file (places.sqlite) is probably corrupt. <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite <br />
Be aware that if you delete the "places.sqlite" and similar files, your bookmark website icons won't automatically appear (the JSON backups don't have that icon data) when you restart Firefox and the places.sqlite is rebuilt using the backup data file, but the icons should be saved the first time each bookmark is used for the first time.

My bookmarks and history keep disappearing and the backup system isn't working (this has happened a half a dozen times in the last few weeks). Any ideas why?

I have manually recreated my list of bookmarks in Firefox several times now only to come back (days) later and find they have disappeared. Probably related (but less concerning) is the fact that the browsing history also seems to have been cleared.
My browser is set to remember my history and I haven't been using the private browsing option. The backup/restore option for the bookmarks doesn't seem to be functioning, either, because even when I select a day on which I know there were functioning bookmarks, "restoring" to that day does absolutely nothing.
The computer in question is my desktop at work, and I haven't been in the office much over the summer, so I didn't know what updates had been installed and when, so I was hopeful that updates were somehow responsible. However, the bookmarks I saved this past Friday were lost over the weekend, and according to the update history, no new updates were installed.
Before I left the office on Friday, I tried restarting the browser and the computer in an attempt to figure out what was triggering this deletion; neither of those two actions had any effect -- the history and bookmarks were all still in tact after the restarts.
Any thoughts?

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:

My bookmarks and history have disappeared, and I no longer have a FF profile which is supposed to be located in Library/Application Support. Any suggestions on how to resolve? I'm most concerned with recovering my bookmarks.

I have tried restarting my computer, creating a new places database (there is no FF profile in Application Support so cannot create a new one), and restoring bookmark back-ups, none of which have resolved the problem.

Problem solved! I got fed up dealing with Firefox without any history or bookmarks for 2 months and had lost hope of ever recovering my bookmarks. So I decided to uninstall Firefox and then re-install it so I could at least use Firefox properly and just start over with bookmarks. After re-installing and opening for the first time, all of my bookmarks were there!
To uninstall drag the Firefox icon from the Applications folder into the trash. I emptied the trash (not sure if necessary). I then downloaded the latest version of firefox from mozilla.com and followed the prompts to install. After opening for the first time, all of my bookmarks were there, as well as the history up to the time the issues began two months ago.

Bookmarks and History now blank and not functioning.
