Bookmarks Mysteriously Dissappearing...

Just today, i have found a really annoying bug with safari. Whilst i was on my website, i bookmarked a few of the pages, like my forum and the google webmaster tools. I bookmarked them into the bookmarks toolbar.
i then minimized safari to transfer some files with filezillla, then when i went back to safari to go back to the pages i bookmarked, they weren't there anymore!! they just dissappeared
whats happening??
(safari 3.1.1 windows vista home premium)
i forgot to add that this has happened before, but it's quite random

I haven't seen it do this anymore, but i make sure to double mark bookmarks

  • My bookmarks mysteriously change folder names and positions in the tree

    Sometimes when I go to add a folder, it gets repeated in different places, or overwrites an existing bookmark folder and mysteriously changes its location. It is very frustrating to try and categorize bookmarks when there is some gremlin or evil elf that confuses things. Category folders get renamed yet have totally unrelated links within it. Why can't bookmarks work like with some semblance of dependability like Windows Explorer does? What the hell is going on with bookmarks?!??

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Since updating to FF4 my bookmarks have dissappeared from the sidebar. When going to 'Show all bookmarks' there is only a recent one! However they are all listed in the dropdown. Saving only save the single one. Restoring a saved file makes no difference.

    On the previous version of FF the All-in-One side bar showed my Bookmarks OK. Upgrading to FF4 has lost them all, except a recent one, from the sidebar. However they are available from the drop-down via the Firefox button at top left. Then when I go to 'show all bookmarks' the only one shown is the recent one. Saving the bookmarks results in that single one being saved only! Deleting all the bookmarks and re-installing a backup results in the same happening, they list ok on the dropdown but not in the side bar. Any ideas?

    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • One of the folders in my bookmarks mysteriously has at least hundreds (possibly thousands) of copies of certain urls. Any suggestions on how to fix this folder without losing all of my other (very carefully filed) other urls?

    When I try to delete them, the page becomes slow and unresponsive, taking a very long time to merely select a screenful of them and then an even longer time to delete them. there are so many copies it would take me days to clear out them out by selecting only a screenful at a time.
    All the other folders and urls seem to function normally.

    Thanks for your reply!
    Sorry, I should have mentioned that the folder is the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder, and is apparently undeleteable - at least that option is ghosted. Do you know of a way to delete the whole Unsorted Bookmarks folder? Or is the default that it IS deleteable and this is only occurring on my system?
    Trying to select a range of bookmarks within the Unsorted Bookmarks Folder immediately causes the page to become unresponsive and tediously slow so that it becomes impossible to select more than a miniscule fraction of the files at one time, and an even longer time (as I mentioned above) to delete them. It seems to me that somehow that one folder has become corrupt, but I don't want to start completely fresh and lose all my hard work in ordering my thousands of other bookmarks.
    Any suggestions or clues?

  • Some album artwork mysteriously dissappears...

    Yesterday out of nowhere album artwork on roughly half my library mysteriously vanished. I didn't make any changes, updates, etc. Is there an easy way to remedy this short of doing a google image search and manually putting everything back?
    My iTunes library is stored on an external HD connected to an Airport Extreme, if that matters.

    Ok, first you need to put it on your library..NOT YOUR IPOD ones and then delete all your ipod music and put your library ones onto it and that should solve it!

  • Please Help - Some emails mysteriously dissappear - Microsoft Exchange

    Hello there
    I do need a help!
    I am getting quite desperate and I have sense that there can be actually very simple solution. I have my work emails on too many devices - on my iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, Work Mac desktop and at home on my Macbook pro. For about 2 years now, but with an increased frequency in recent months, my emails tend to mysteriously disappear. What I mean it I see it, I read it on my iPhone, and the next thing the email is gone and I cant find it anywhere. I do not mean all emails, just one out of many.. This happens only if I see it first on iPhone (I think). I get a lot of emails, and it happens to about 1 in 200 emails. But usually it is the most important email, and from my contacts. I checked all, thrash, everything, nowhere to be found. I am getting a bad reputation as I am missing some emails, and my IT team thinks I have just deleted them.
    It is an Microsoft Exchange account. I have multiple private accounts on my iPhone as well, but this seems to be happening (or I have noticed) only for the Microsoft Exchange.
    Do any of you had a similar problem? Or know any solutions? I am thinking of not using my iPhone for emails anymore...
    Many thanks
    Please help!!!

    Hi
    Thank you so much for your reply. These are my observations to your points raised:
    1) I change my password regularly, and I do not think this is the case. I checked the login record for my account, and it is only my devices. So perhaps not, but you are right, you never know.. No one has my password or access to my phone which is locked.
    2) I do not think this is possible, in the job that I am doing, but certainly a possibility.
    3) I thought about this, trust me. I was questioning myself whether I have not dreamt those emails? But embarrassing reminders from clients, and from colleagues, forwarded emails back to me that clearly show that I should have received them, and prove this theory otherwise. The idea of deleting them may be true, but then they would be in trash, deleted items, or somewhere even if moved or deleted from the inbox of iPhone (and I am sure I didn't delete them).
    I am in so much stress so any ideas that you guys have I do need to take seriously!!

  • Quick question about my toolbar dissappearing.

    Hi there, I'm a little bit new to this whole PDF editing thing, whenever I open a .PDF document to edit my top toolbar dissappears.
    -It's the one that says:   File   Edit    View    Document    Comments     Forms    Tools.....
    That is at the very top by the blue bar.  Does anyone happen to know how I can get this back and what is happening?
    When I first start the program it is there, then when I go to open a document it mysteriously dissappears.
    Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated.

    Somethings to try.
    With a PDF file open -
    --| use the F9 key to toggle the menu bar between show/hide.
    --| use the F8 key to toggle the tool bars between show/hide.
    --| View the PDF's Document Properties.
         File > Properties -
         (can also use Ctrl+D or Cmd+D if the menu bar is present).
          when the Properties dialog opens, select the Initial View tab.
         Look at the three selections at the bottom. If any are selected, click to remove the check mark.
    Prior to providing any PDF to others one can go into the PDF's document properties and select
    Hide menu bar | Hide tool bars | Hide window controls
    If you always want to view your PDF files in a manner that ignores these settings then go into Acrobat's preferences.
    Edit > Preferences > select Category "Documents"
    Remove the check mark (the default setting) for the fifth entry down from the top.
    "Allow documents to hide the menu bar, toolbars, and window controls"
    Be well...

  • My bookmark button is in the wrong location

    Next to the search bar there is an icon for HOME and also a icon for Bookmarks (to show recently used, ect....). Im not sure how, but now this has been moved to the same line as my bookmarks (directly below the search bar, and to the far right of all my bookmarks). If I turn on the file menu, the bookmark icon dissappears all together and if I customize the tookbal it shows that the bookmarl button is directly next to the home button. But when I close the customize screen down the bookmark button reverts to below the searhc bar.
    This has just recenlty occured and I am not sure why it is doing this.
    I have tried to uninstall firefox and reinstall, both with and without saving my settings.
    Im stumped here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That is the intended action of that Bookmarks button.
    When the Bookmarks Toolbar is showing the button appears there, when you hide the Bookmarks Toolbar it moves up to the Navigation Toolbar, to the right of the Home button.
    And when the Menu Bar is selected to show all the time, that button disappears altogether. That button was added to Firefox to give you access to your bookmarks when the Menu Bar with the Bookmarks menu item is hidden.
    Also, when you open the toolbar Customize mode, that button shows on the Navigation toolbar.

  • Fan Error. Overheats Assistance would be appreciated.

    Hello, my laptop has been playing up for quite a while now, over a month. The fan error constantly appears on my laptop and it always heats up when im running basic things such as web browsers and even word. I only recently discovered that there was a program called HP Coolsense which some people on forums claimed saved their laptop. I accessed the program and i didnt notice a real difference but it still gave me hope. The next day I turned on my laptop and HP coolsense had mysteriously dissappeared. The only thing i had done the previous day was a few hp driver updates. I have really begun to become depressed with thi error. I attempted to blow compressed air into the vents to no avail, After five days and 5 empty bottles of compressed air my situation has become dire. I  have upgraded BIOS like many of the pages requested. However I am hesitant to reset my laptop or send it back to HP as some have done? I have watched many videos on opening up the laptops to access the fans and heat sink however I find it horrible that the process is so delicate in these paticular laptops as i believe that i have to remove the keyboard and other parts of the laptop. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,mglcamo

    HP provides very good Service Manual documentation for notebook disassembly. One of the main things is to keep track of where the screws go. Other thn that it is pretty simple, just a little time consuming. My laptop was giving no error and just shutting down when the fan would just stop turning. I used a pin in the vent to get it started again but finally ended vup replacing the fan which solved the problem. There was some dust inside but not as much as I expected for a 6 year old notebook. Make sure you clean all that out, especially what may be on the heat sink. Follow the service manual and be careful and you shouldn't have a problem. I looked up my notebook and got the part number for the fan and searched the internet. I got my replacement fan from Amazon for $7.39 plus $4.80 for shipping. The old one was also making noise,maybe from the use of the pin, but purrs lke a kitten now.

  • Use Find My iPhone w/ Just a Serial Number

    I recently upgraded to an iPhone 4s from a 4.  After a few weeks, I removed my old phone (iPhone 4) from the Find My iPhone web page application.  About a week ago, I took out the old phone to charge it, and it mysteriously dissappeared. 
    All I have for the old iPhone is the serial number.  I have a suspecision that a particular person took the phone as that person was at my house around the last time that I remember seeing the phone and shortly thereafter, this unemployed person got an iPhone.  This is only a suspicion, and I will not make and acusation without proof.
    Cell phone service for the device was discontinued when the new phone was activated.
    Is there any way for me to locate MY iPhone with only the serial number of the device?  Apple support says that there is not.
    Surely there is a way to locagte the phone by serial number.  I have proof, via my apple account, that this device is owned by me.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I think find my Iphone was set up, but I'm not sure.  If it has been stolen and someone is now using it, they will probably connect via a cellular network and or wi-fi.
    The problem is that I deleted the device from the Find My iPhone web site and now would like to "turn it back on".

  • What happened to my Appleworks application?

    Hi! I have recently re installed Mac OSX 10.4, because my computer has been randomly shutting down and going into sleep mode. After I re installed OSX, my Appleworks application has mysteriously dissappeared! Does anyone know why and where it is and how I can get it back!?
    Thanks, Fiona

    AppleWorks is not part of OS X. It is a separately sold application. If you had AppleWorks on your previous installation then either you purchased it (and have an installer disc) or it was part of the pre-bundled software that came with your computer. In the case of the latter it will be in the Bundled Software or Additional Software package located on your original Software Restore discs that came with the computer.

  • Windows 7 and Sony Clie Compatability

    Is there a "fix" or "work-around" that will allow the Clie to work in Windows 7?
    Post relates to: None

    Problem Solved!!!
    I was having the exact symptoms stated at the beginning of this thread. After installing Windows 7 from Vista, Apple TV would show up in the device list and right after entering the verification code it would dissappear and wouldn't show up until I restarted Itunes. I did some research and found that if Apple TV doesn't have a solid connection it basically times out which explains the temporary appereance in the device list followed by it's mysterious dissappearance. At first I thought it might be something with the latest upgrade to Itunes so I started a download of Version 7 to see if that would work. I noticed that my download was only going at around 25k/sec and that was way, way to slow. As it turns out, when upgrading from Vista to 7, Windows 7 erases all of your drivers for things like video cards, network adapters, ect and does a clean install. I took my restore cd from vista and installed the missing driver for my Wireless LAN Adapter. My downloads went up to around 300kb/sec and viola!! Itunes synced up and is working great. It also works through a VPN and with Windows Firewall on as well as a 3rd party service. So if you upgraded to windows 7 take your old restore cd and updated all your network drivers. If you don't have the cd then get them online. This worked for me and I hope if works for everyone else having trouble. If anybody wants detailed instructions just let me know.

  • Windows 7 and Apple TV compatability???

    I am having problems syncing my iTunes with AppleTV. For some reason it will begin the sync and 30 seconds to a minute later will disappear from the device lists. I was told from outside help it may be a sharing problem with windows 7 but have nothing to go on to show that as a problem. Any ideas?
