Bookmarks sometimes not saved

Sometimes all the newly added bookmarks disappear when restarting firefox.
1. Tried rebuilding the places database by deleting the Places.sqlite.
2. Places.sqlite is not write protected.
3. Tried reseting all the browser.places preferences from about:config.
4. Tried deleting all the JSON bookmark backups and importing from a manual backup.
5. Re-installed firefox 4.
What's weird is that it's not happening all the time, like when I start firefox add a bookmark and restart again, it works. But when I have surfed the net for a while and restart the changes made to bookmarks are lost.
Anybody have more bright ideas I should try, to solve this. Nothign seems to work.

I have observed it (again) with 2 days old almost fresh profile (I have imported old boolmarks from HTML export from old profile).
Pages missing in bookmarks are missing in browsing history too.

Sent messages are sometimes not saved

Hello,
This is a follow up to this thread, which was never answered and is now archived:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2213207
In Mail.app, using IMAP, my sent messages are sometimes not saved. I'd say about 1 in 20 never appear in my Sent folder. The recipients always receive these messages, so it's not a delivery problem. I just don't retain a copy of them. This is very frustrating if I send a cost estimate to a client, or a detailed description of a technical problem that I need to refer back to later.
I've rebuilt my mailboxes and I've checked my IMAP folders on the server via a webmail interface, and the messages are not there.
Has anyone else experienced this? It's hard to believe I'm the only one, but it's hard to search for this problem because my search results are always full of people who have lost or can't save -any- of their sent messages. My problem is intermittent and random.
Thanks,
-Arlo

I have a similar occasional problem with an IMAP account using a Comcast Business Class Exchange server. I use Mail and my iPhone to access the account; I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on my laptop but my "sent messages" issue predates the latest release.
The first time I noticed this issue I thought, "I'll just access my mail via the Comcast web portal. It'll be in the 'sent' folder there." No dice. The "sent" messages simply never stay on the server, yet my recipients get them.
It's distressing. First, the solution would appear to be a switch to a MS mail client, which I swore off years ago. Second, I rely on having a "sent" message as a record. I switched off IDLE per your suggestion, Ernie, but otherwise I'm in the same boat as the others here. Please keep this thread alive. I'm hopeful that this can be resolved.

I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

You can backup the bookmarks on the old computer and create a JSON or HTML backup and restore or import this file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
You can use an USB stick to transfer the saved bookmarks file to the new computer.<br />
You can also copy the places.sqlite file from that computer to have the bookmarks and the history.

Bookmarks & Annotations not saving?

Regrettably I purchased an ebook from an eseller who didnt give me an option to take any format other using DE.
The book is required for some consultative work Im doing. Reading through the book, I marked passages with bookmarks & annotations. Of course I came to the end of session and closed DE
To my horror when I opened DE again. Not one bookmark or annotation was there. 6 hours of work gone!
I read through the minimal help, and there is nothing really about this. Several tests of book marking on my laptop. Workplace workstations and other PCs result in the same disgusting dilemma.
Is this a typical thing of DE? I have checked the EBOOK permission and there is no reference to saying you cannot bookmark. It does allowing printing (limited).
So whats happening? Can anyone assist?

Actually, one of my engineers corrected me, simply mapping your My Documents onto a network drive should work in Digital Editions 1.5. So you might want to try the beta release:

I am able to change and add bookmarks, but these changes are sometimes not saved when I restart Firefox.

Since updating to Firefox 4, changes to bookmarks are saved sometimes after restart, but not usually (maybe 25% of the time). The problem sounds exactly like what is described on the [[Bookmarks not saved]] help page, yet after making all the recommended changes, the problem persists. I have also performed the recommended actions on the [[Toolbar keeps resetting]] help page, with no luck there either.
The only other thing that I can think of that may be helpful is that I use Firefox Sync between two computers, and both seem to be having this problem.

I have some more information, in case it helps. During one Firefox session, I made about 8 changes to my bookmarks.When I restarted Firefox, the first few changes I had made were saved, but the rest were not. Additionally, the favicons that were present during my last session (that I hadn't had before that session) were reverted to the default favicon. I hope this helps!

Changes to my bookmarks are not saved when firefox is restarted. I already tried deleting places.sqlite, but it is still doing this.

Since I downloaded Firefox 4, I have not been able to save changes to my bookmarks (this includes both adding new bookmarks or deleting old bookmarks). When I make a change, the changes are not saved the next time I restart Firefox. After doing a Google search I found a Mozilla help page that suggested deleting the place.sqlite file. After doing this, Firefox will save changes for a few days, but then go back to not saving the changes. I've done this twice already.

Sounds that you have cleanup or other security software that cause corruption of the file places.sqlite
You need to check the settings of your software and make sure that you exclude the Firefox Profile Folder to avoid such problems.

Recently migrated to new laptop, backuped with FEBE. Bookmarks, History not saving anything since then

About a month ago I backed up my full profile and bookmarks from my old computer and restored/imported them into the new one using FEBE and the "Import and backup" tab, respectively. Both have the latest (18) version of Firefox. I followed all the steps to restore the old full profile into a new one, and then imported the bookmarks. So far so good.
At the beginning it was all fine, but about a week ago I realised I can't bookmark, nor see any history saved in the corresponding log windows. When I press Ctrl+D I don't get any window asking for confirmation to save the bookmark. When I try to make Firefox Show All History, I get a completely blank page. Nothing at all. I've tried disabling all the extensions to no avail. Still the same problem. I've tried closing and reopening Firefox, restarting the computer, same. I also checked the places.sqlite file, it's fine.
By the way, all the "Ctrl+Shift+B", "Ctrl+D", "Ctrl+Shift+H", "Ctrl+Shift+Del" options are in light grey, as if they had been disabled. On the contrary, the "Show All Bookmarks", "Bookmark This Page", "Show All History" and "Clear Recent History" ones are in black, as normal.
I've tried a few tentative solutions, none has worked so far. Please help. Thank you very much for any comments or observations.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Bookmarks and notes saved when deleting a book from iBooks?

If I delete a book from my iPad or iPhone, do I lose my bookmarks and notes on iCloud? Will by notes reappear if I re-download a deleted book? Thank you.

Greetings janetk618,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn more about iBooks. You can sync iBooks data such as bookmarks and notes. The following article contains a wealth of information about iBooks:

Sent items are sometimes not saved

Hi,
I have an intermittent problem in Mail 2.0.5, where some e-mails are not being saved in the sent items folder I have set up.
I'm using IMAP, and have selected the option to store messages on the server, and have selected a folder to use for sent items. Most of my sent messages go there.
Sometimes, (as far as I can remember it's only when replying or forwarding) my sent messages disappear. If I look in the sent items folder immediately I've sent the message, I see it there for a split second before it vanishes. If I click on the arrow next to the message I've replied to or forwarded, I get an error stating the message could not be found. Spotlight turns up nothing when I look for these lost messages.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Ben

I have the same problem, and I think my mail is an older version 1.3.11 (I don't know why it's not updated though!!) Anyway... it's very frustrating, but I know that even it's not copied in the sent forder, the recipient receive the message. But We don't have any proof until the recipient reply or tell us that he had it. I could say that 97% of my message are copied in the sent folder and the other 3% is lost I don't know where... Why ? I don't understand... I there a probleme with the server .mac or the Mail app. ???
Thank you

My bookmarks are not saving in Firefox, they will save in other browsers. Any tips why?

Nothing happens when I go to save, or "bookmark" a website. It stopped asking me what folder, and it does not even save in a general list. I'm considering switching browsers.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Bookmarks are not saving in chosen directory

Since the last Mac Update. when I bookmark a page in folder it is not appearing, yet when searching within 'Show All Bookmarks' ist is showing in the results.
Any ideas?

Hello
I found the problem. When I created my firefox profile under LINUX, I used the NAS folder created by my windows workstation, with all the bookmarks. Somehow Firefox LINUX did not like this folder. I created a new NAS profile for LINUX ans imported my bookmarks from The NAS profile created under windows, ans now it works.
Sorry for posting before I had worked enough.

Acrobat bookmark settings not saved

FM 9.0p255, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended 9.4.1 – every time I go to save a book as .pdf, I now have to respecify the bookmark options. Don't remember noticing this before, and it would certainly have irritated me enough to prompt a posting! What's going on?

Niels,
This problem plagued me for a long time also.
I open the FIRST file in the book, set the bookmarks, and print it to the Adobe PDF printer. Save the file and close it if you want.
Now print the book file to Adobe PDF. In the Print dialog, open the Acrobat settings and check the bookmarks settings; they should be the same as set for the first file. If not, correct. The next time you print to PDF, the bookmarks should be correct; HOWEVER, I always check each time I make the PDF.
I should note that for other reasons, I typically never print the book but only selected files in the book. When I close the Acrobat settings dialog, I believe (but not sure) that Frame saves these settings in all the selected files. But my assumption in all this is that FrameMaker looks in the first file of the book for its current bookmark settings.
Hope this helps. It at least works for me.

Audible bookmarks are not saved after sync

I believe this started after the most recent update of itunes but can't say for sure. Once I listen to a portion of an audible (audible.com) program but then connect my ipod to itunes for any reason; charge, add content, etc., it loses the bookmarks. The result is when I go back to continue listening, my audible book starts at the beginning and not where it left off previously. This used to work but stopped about 1 or 2 months ago.

What version of Adobe Acrobat do you use?

PS CS6: Images sometimes not saved when using Close All and instructed to save

I thought I had made a crazy mistake when this happened earlier today, but it just did it again and I was paying close attention.
I often open multiple images to make several changes, then use Close All and when it prompts "Do you want to save changes to ... before closing?" I check off the box to "Apply to all" and say Yes. This saves lots of time when adjusting several multi-hundred MB images. Imagine my surprise today when it closed an image without saving! I had to repeat about 30 minutes of work as a result.
I thought I had somehow accidentally clicked "No" to saving, so I made sure to pay close attention the next few times I used Close All to save work. It worked fine until a moment ago when it did it again.
Has anyone seen something like this? I can't find anything in searching. In all my time using this feature in PS I never once had a problem before.

Thanks for the reply.
I just upgraded to CS6 from CS5 a few days ago, and this is my first week in heavy usage.
I do have Save in Background turned on. I am saving locally. I also have auto recovery saves turned on, at 5 minute intervals (CS6 has crashed a few times on me)
Yesterday I used Close All with Save maybe 10 times, and it exhibited this behavior 2 of those times.
In the two cases, I had 3 PSDs open, each a little over 400 mb in size. It seemed to save two of the images, but left one unsaved. I noticed that instead of spending several seconds saving, it would quickly just close that image - as though it believed no changes had been made. The changes that had been made to the image were routine - add some adjustment layers, some masks etc.
I have tried to reproduce it by opening the same images, making similar changes and then repeating Close All with Save, but so far no (bad) luck. Idle speculation - could it have something to do with the frequent interval of autorecovery saves that I do? Some kind of conflict? Or is it something to do with background saves? Definitely never saw this in previous versions of PS.
As a workaround, I have made a simple action that saves an image and apply it in batch. I just can't risk losing work.

Saved bookmarks: titles and addressroots don't match anymore; they are randomly scrambled sometimes not always

My saved bookmarks (BM) show more often (not always) the wrong addressroot when I scroll over the BM with my mouse.
When I open a sertain BM (with wrong address shown) it leads me to a webpage with that wrong address. Sometimes its an address that was an other BM. As if they are randomly scrambled, but some BM stay fine (with the right address). i.e.: BM title (i.e. to buy clothes) leads to another saved BMs addressroot that leads to webpage (i.e. about pets).
Sometimes the BM leads to a webpage unknown to me and seems to be "commercialised": i.e.: org.BM to page of interest leads to a page for a lawyerfirm in US although Im in Europe. Ive never visited or known about the lawyerfirms page before.
I have saved BTW a lot of BMs.
Thank U for yr time and answer about this not so urgent matter. Its just annoying. With Regards, *Ph*

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
