Can I restore my bookmarks if they were saved to the same profile on a different computer?

So my mom restored one of our computers without telling me or backing up any of my bookmarks. If I'm signed into the same Mozilla profile on my computer as I was on the one that was wiped, will my bookmarks be in the places.sqlite folder? If they are, how can I access them and restore my bookmarks to Firefox?
I also have two old .json files that I've repeatedly tried to import to Firefox using the "restore" feature and installed Friefox 27 to try to use my recovery key to no avail. Can anyone recommend a method of restoring my bookmarks that I haven't tried yet, or tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

TS3989 Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days. After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted. Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

Double contacts as "iPhone"...my phone saves the same number twice, once with a 1 before the area code and one without it. It causes two different threads in my texts even of they're saved as the same contact

My wife is having the same problems as a reciever. She works in a school as a teaching assistant and her teacher sends messages that are mixed with previous texts from ages ago.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem or is it only her and this poster?

HT201272 Songs I downloaded in 2007 aren't appearing in my Purchased list. They were purchased with the same Apple ID I use now. Any ideas?

The problem is that two of the songs stop in the middle of the track. I've been able to fix this easily with newer songs I've purchased. The songs are still in the iTunes Store, and I don't want to have to purchase them again, when it's clearly an error on iTunes part.
Any ideas?

You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

Can i run 32 bit and 64 bit foxfire on the same vista PC, at different times?

FF 3.6 crashed and froze my HP laptop with vista. I had it "repaired" at a local shop I have used for many years. They put 64 bit namorola on - all is ok but no flash. I also want to install ff 3,6 or earlier on the same PC - to use SEPARATELY one at a time. Can this be done?? Will the bookmarks, etc transfer??

There will be no official 64 bit version of Firefox for Windows for some time, there are currently only test versions. I recommend not using the 64 bit version and just sticking with the official 32 bit version.

How can I sync a tv show without having to sync the whole library from a different computer?(For 5th generation ipod)

So I have a 5th generation nano, and I want to put a tv show on it from my friends computer. (I'm able to put songs on my ipod) But everytime I drag it to my library it says: it was not copied because you are not autorized on this computer.
so when i try to do it manually it says I can do it but i have to erase everything I have and sync whats on her computer to my ipod. How can I just get this **** tv show onto my ipod??? is there a way?

Is this a TV show you purchased with your own iTunes account or your friend iTunes store account? If it was your own account, simply authorize your purchased content on your friend's computer. To do this, head to the Store drop down menu in iTunes and choose Authorize This Computer. Then enter in your iTunes store credentials and then try resyncing the TV Show to your iPod.

My daughter has a new ipod touch and when synced it had all of my iphone contacts. she deleted the ones she didn't want and they were removed from my phone as well. How can I get them back if they were deleted from the cloud? I also had them on my pc

My daughter bought a new ipod touch and when synced received the contacts from my iphone. She deleted the ones she didn't want on her ipod and now they are gone from my iphone. I have the cloud and i thought back up on itunes. I have tried to re-sync and no luck. How can I get my contacts back?

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

It appears I have lost all previously downloaded music including songs I ripped from my own cds..can I get them back? I thought they were saved in the cloud but I cannot find them

I had previously had years worth of Christmas music in my iTunes. When not the holiday season I obviously deslect it so that it does not play. I thought it was all backed up to the cloud, but now upon trying to recover it and resync it to my phone for travelling, I cannot find it anywhere. Is my music gone for good?

Why did you think it was in icloud?
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries, but this does not apply to music not purchased via itunes.

Have you failed to maintainn a backup copy of your computer?

I've downloaded a trial version of Premiere CS6, but an error message keeps coming up that I can't install it because both files aren't in the same folder. They are saved in the same folder. Any ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

rename that .txt file to a .7z
then click or double click the exe.

I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake. Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive. :(

You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.

P.S. I have no clue what you did or why you have 44,000 on the external drive

I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version. How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version. How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

That is becuase Pages 5.1 has numerous unnounced surprises for the unwary user. Among the surprises:
- it strips out images from headers and footers without warning
- it strips out bookmarks without wanring (yes, all those bookamrks you laboriously put into a document: poof! Gone.)
- it strips out alternating left/right margins, without warning.
There are many more suprises, as you'll see from glancing through these discussions. They fall into two main categories: things that are present in version 4.3 but that are missing in 5.1, things like
-mail merge
-meaningful Applescript/Services support
-non-contiguous text selection
-ability to set defaul zoom
-ability to see comments while editing
-ability to print comments
-ability to read RTF files
-ability to drag in hyperlinked ted from a browser
These about about 90 other features are gone.
Then there are the bugs. Hyperlinks do not reliably export to a PDF file any longer. There have been multiple problems with printing report. Some fonts place stray characters in the headers. Many reports of the program crashing, courrupting files, etc.
Fortunately for you, the previous version of Pages is still on your system. Export any documents you may have created or edited with Pages 5.1 (another great surprise: files created with version 5.1 cannot be read by any previous version of Pages: not just 4.3 but even 5.01!). Then trash 5.1 and use 4.3 until (unless?) it is stable and has a reasonably robust feature set.

Maybe this question has been found already, but I have yet to find the answer. How can I restore my bookmarks after it has been deleted from my 'bookmarkbackups' folder?

So it has been a couple months now since I last cleaned up my bookmarks toolbar. And I could remember a couple of bookmarks tabs I wish I did not delete. I found some articles saying I could try restoring previous versions of my bookmarks from the dates of recent system restore points. But the earliest date I found was of only last week's. I've checked everywhere in my Firefox profile for anything that I could restore to date back into that time, but they too only tracked back as early as last week. I believe the automatic backups Firefox had made during that time has now long been deleted from the system in order to make room for my most current ones. How am I going to be able to retrieve those bookmarks when their aren't any backups available now to restore from?

If you do not have backups of your bookmarks, either in the bookmarkbackups folder or saved elsewhere, then you can't restore your bookmarks.

Firefox didnt sync my bookmark to my account???? WTF. i reinstall my windows but i thought ff synced my bookmarks. .. how can i restore my bookmark from my account?????

Sorry. Sync isn't really intended as a backup medium as you were trying to use it for. It isn't meant to be a storage "cloud". It's purpose is to keep Firefox bookmarks synchronized across multiple Firefox installations or Profiles - so all your bookmarks are the same on each device / Profile.

Bookmarks have disappeared on two machine unable to restore from backup folder in Firefox. How can I restore my bookmarks?

All my bookmarks have disappeared on two machines. I tried used the restore function it did not work, and I tried to updated my Plugins and for some reason Firefox would not register the updates . How can I restore my bookmarks?

Immediately backup the profiles on both machines. Keep the profile backup files and folders somewhere safe outside the Firefox program and profile paths. The Windows Desktop would be a suitable location.
* see [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* also note the information on bookmarks [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Do you use Firefox sync ?
*[[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]
that is not itself a backup, but you may consider the synced second device to be a backup
Restored bookmarks overwrite the existing bookmarks. You may still have some left, but unfortunately you could have overwritten most or all of them with corrupt copies. If you backup the profile at least you have access to copies of whatever automatic backups were made. Note in future that it is good practice to periodically make backups.
Post back again once you have backed up the profiles, and read the linked articles.

When I updated the software on my ipod 4 touch, many podcasts were erased. When I synced the ipod, they were erased from the ipod also. The current itunes does not allow me to go back to these dates (a few months) and re-download? Can I? and prevent this?

When I upgraded the software on my ipod touch4, many podcasts were deleted from itunes. Of course, when I synced the ipod, they were deleted from the ipod as well. Apparently the current version of itunes will not let me go back to these earlier episodes (just a few months), in a podcast that I have been subscribed to, and re-download them. Is there a way to do that? and, how can I prevent this from happening again?

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

Can I restore my bookmarks if they were saved to the same profile on a different computer?
