  • What's with the new Firefox 8.0? I made the mistake of updating mine and about 30% of the icons in bookmarks disappeared. It looks like you are requiring a favicon. Anyway, BAD IDEA!!!!!

    Briansyddal - you might be able to manage your phone without a PC, but many of us can't, especially those of us with large iTunes libraries.  How do you propose I manage my 250GB of music using only a phone?  Maybe I could go out and buy 10 iPhones and spread my library out among them!
    Catz537 - I have the same problem as you and I've spent hours on the web trying to find a solution to it.  It was a problem with iOS 7 and  8.1.1 doesn't fix it.  The the only advice from Apple is completely useless because it requires you, effectively, to delete and recreate your iTunes library and lose all your metadata, album art, notes etc and there's also no guarantee it will work.   I wish I could be more help (even more - I wish Apple could be more help) - I updated to 8.1.1 at 1400 today.  At 2200 I'm still "waiting for changes to be applied" for a measly 16GB of music transfer. 

  • Pre -- Browser bookmarks disappear, won't save

    Hi:
    I had the battery just about run down on me over the weekend and since its been recharged, the browser now just starts with a blank blue page.  I can access the web, but when I try to save a bookmark it appears to work, but the bookmark never shows up.  Up to date on patches and stuff.  Any help why would be great, its a great phone and WebOS is otherwise quite sweet.

    Hi,
    My pre just started doing this a few days ago.  All of my bookmarks disappeared, and when I try to save new ones, it looks like it's working but the bookmarks never show up on the screen.  I've powered off and restarted, that hasn't worked.  I've checked the web preferences, cleared the cache, etc., and that hasn't worked either.  I'm reluctant to reset the phone back to factor specs because I don't want to loose all of may apps and their data. 
    Thanks!

    YAHOO
    BING
    GOOGLE

    Strange indeed.  This may not help, but it won't hurt anything.... try a system cache clear....
    Power down phone
    Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
    Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
    Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
    Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
    Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
    Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

  • I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

    I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
    After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
    Switching it on had no effect
    resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
    after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
    switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
    On IOS 7 no problems
    The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

  • How can I click on a bookmark and have it open a new page? When I click a bookmark it always opens right in the sidebar, all my bookmarks disappear and I am left with two seperate pages?

    I keep my bookmarks open at all times in the sidebar. If I want to go to a site, say Google, I must do a right click on the bookmark and then click on "Open In A New Tab" then the google page opens in a new tab.
    I want to skip the second click. I want to be able to simply left click the google booknark in the sidebar and have google open in a new tab.
    the way things are now, when I simply do a left click on the google bookmark the new google tab opens in tne sidebar itself. My bookmarks disappear from the sidebar and the google page is opened in the sidebar. So at this point I have two active page open at the same time.
    Is there a way to simply left click the bookmark in the sidebar and have the bookmark open as a regular page?
    Please pardon my clumsiness as I have only today used FireFox for the first time.

    Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
    Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

  • If I open new sync accounts so that I can synce bookmarks from android phone to new desktop, will I lose my bookmarks in android and thus lose them all forever?

    My old desktop crashed. My new desktop has the most recent version of Firefox and the new sync feature. Unfortunately, none of my bookmarks from the old desktop/Firefox transferred to the new desktop. My android phone (GS3) and android tablet both still have all of my bookmarks, but I cannot get them to sync to the desktop. I have read (and reread) the instructions for opening new sync accounts for all devices, etc. so that they are all compatible and sync will work again. I am afraid that if I do that, I will lose all my bookmarks from my android devices, and then they will be lost forever, which defeats the whole purpose of setting up new sync accounts. Can you confirm that if I open new accounts on all devices that I will not lose my bookmarks from my phone and tablet, which now have the only record that I can access to recreate them all manually (god help me)on my desktop if that is my only alternative?

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve my problem. I have given up and just re-entered my bookmarks manually to my desktop computer.

  • My bookmarks disappeared and can't be restored or imported

    Perhaps two days ago, some of my bookmarks disappeared, so I decided to revert them a few days earlier to get the missing ones back. Instead of recovering the missing ones, ALL of the bookmarks disappeared and cannot be restored now. I tried resetting Firefox and running in safe mode, and none of those tricks worked. I then went to another computer that had a synced copy of the bookmarks, exported them as HTML and sent them to the sick computer, where they STILL cannot be imported, though I can open the HTML file and access the links that way. The sick computer thinks it has the links to the old bookmarks, and everything I checked seems to be okay, but it is obviously hideously broken...
    Windows 7, 64-bit, running on a Toshiba notebook. My various other computers are so far unaffected, but it might be contagious for all I know...
    Since this is not the sick computer, I'm not going to add the troubleshooting information at this time, but I'll try to add it when I get back to that machine.

    Try this:
    *disable from Sync if you are using it
    *go to the Firefox profile folder and delete the places.sqlite file.
    This will make Firefox use a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder, so you may want to move those backups out of that folder if you aren't sure which backup is healthy.
    Note that the xxxx part in the file name designates the number of bookmark in the file, $$$$ is a hash to avoid creating unnecessary backups with the same content.
    *bookmarks-####-##-##_xxxx_$$$$.json

  • My safari bookmarks disappeared. How do I get them back?

    My safari bookmarks disappeared. How do I get them back?

    Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Safari icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that didn't work - try this. Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.

  • I synced my data and all my bookmarks disappeared is there a way to undo the sync and get them back?

    I believed that my laptop and desktop were set up to sync my laptop's data to my desktop. The desktop had no bookmarks on it, when I hit the sync button on my laptop all my bookmarks disappeared. It appears that the desktop replaced the laptop's data instead...
    Is there a way to get them back?

    Restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder that still has them.

  • Acrobat 9.0 - bookmarks disappear

    This just started happening and I'm not sure why. When I click on a bookmark, all of the bookmarks disappear. I have to keep reopening the bookmarks to see them every time I click on one. I use this feature extensively so it's more than a minor nuisance.
    Does anyone know where the setting is to stop this or how to fix the problem?

    This happens when I replace an individual page. The pages are linked together with bookmarks. (This is a map book.) The bookmarks sometimes disappear when I click on them, so I have been saving the page, closing it, then reopening. The bookmarks are visible for a split second then they disappear. Not the bookmark panel, but the words themselves. Hide after use is unchecked. In the PDF optimizer, which I rarely use intentionally, everything concerning bookmarks is unchecked. This does not happen every time I replace a page, only about every other page, which is still annoying. I tried rebooting my computer to see if it was a memory issue, but it still happened on a fresh boot. This has only happened to me with Acrobat V 9 Pro. (9.4 currently)

  • Bookmarks Disappear After Import

    I just set up a new user (1st time having done so) on my 2010 iMac running OS 10.9.5 with Safari 7.1. I imported bookmarks from the Windows XP version of Firefox into Safari and all seemed to be fine. The bookmarks worked every time without a problem. I then closed Safari and reopened it only to find all the imported bookmarks have disappeared. I tried reimporting three times and it happened each time. I also installed the Add to Amazon Wish List extension and, that too, disappeared each time.
    Also, it will not maintain a Homepage. That disappears as well.
    Why is this happening and how do I correct the situation? Your help is most appreciated. Thanks!

    Based on a few replies in another forum there apparently is no reason why the bookmarks should be disappearing, but they still are.
    In an attempt to solve this problem, I just tried giving my wife's user account admin privileges, restarted the computer, opened Safari, imported the bookmarks, closed Safari, reopened Safari and, yet again, the bookmarks disappeared.
    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Bookmarks disappeared on android app

    I just discovered the bookmark-adding function, which is great. But then my bookmarks disappeared. I had about 10 of them, points I needed to review later in a large textbook, and now they are gone. It's happening in other books, too.
    I tried to reproduce the bug, but I haven't been able to. I killed the app, tried opening the file from Recents and from the folder, and even tried turning the tablet on and off again, yet my most recent batch of bookmark/highlighting is there. I know I'm not imagining this, though, because I've seen a dozen similar comments in the Google Play ratings comments over the last few weeks. If I see them disappear again, I'll post the circumstances.
    I think my highlights and notes might be disappearing, too, but I'm not sure. This bug seems inconsistent.
    I'm using a Motorola Xoom tablet, Android, and the files aren't on my removable SD card.
    Hope this helps. I use the Android Adobe Reader app for large textbooks a lot, and really need to keep my highlighting and notes and bookmarks for when I review. Thanks! Love this app!

    I reproduced it!
    I moved the file from one folder to another within the Adobe Reader folders I'd set up, and the bookmark disappeared. The highlight was still there, though.
    But then I created another bookmark, and moved the book (Head First WordPress) back into the initial folder, and the craziest thing happened. The bookmark I'd just added in the second folder disappeared, but the bookmark I had when the book was in the first folder re-appeared.
    I tried to repeat that test, with a new book. I added a bookmark, moved the file to another folder, and the bookmark disappeared. The highlighting and notes seemed to remain, though. But then I added another bookmark, and moved the book back, and the second bookmark stuck, but the first bookmark was gone. So... that's weird. Notes and highlights seemed to remain.

  • My bookmarks disappeared; no recent firefox updates; there an hour ago; gone now.

    All of a sudden my bookmarks disappeared. I have not recently updated anything. They were there an hour ago but not anymore.
