Can I retrieve bookmarks from an older Firefox version to insert them into the current version? I was running Mac OS 10.4?(Tiger) but upgraded to 10.6.8; then I loaded Firefox 9.0.1 & discovered that I'd lost my bookmarks.Help please.

The OS upgrade was done by a technician so no issues there. I uploaded the current Firefox without saving my old bookmarks. I remember now that previous FF upgrades progressed without bookmark problems. Is the current problem to do with the new OS? Not certain of the correct OS number but it was Tiger; also not certain of the correct FF number but it was the most appropriate one for Tiger. Again, please help.
Thanks very much.

Not unless they were saved somewhere on your computer. You can check the Time Machine if that storage has been used and wasn't reset as well.

  • I have a IMac G5 A1058 that was running Mac OS 10.3.8 I upgraded to 10.4

    I have a IMac G5 A1058 that was running Mac OS 10.3.8 I upgraded to 10.4, shortly after upgrading the system would no longer boot so I booted from the 10.4 Tiger upgrade disk from which I had upgraded and disk utility found errors on the HD file system  that it said could not be repaired. I removed the HD from the system and connected it to my other IMac G5 A1312and ran disk utility and found the same errros. I re partitioned the HD put it back into the G5 and atempted to reinstall the OS. I keep getting a grey screen with a circle and a line through it.It does this with OS 10.2 and 10.3 when I tried 10.4 tiger upgrade it says it need their to be a system all ready installed. My Q's is do I need Mac OS 10.3.8 disks since that is the system that this computer was released with?
    Any idea why it will not let me install 10.3 and work my way up?
    Any help would be great thanks

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    If it came with Mac OS 10.3.8, you can't install an early version. You need the discs with it

  • Is it possible to delete the original photos from my iphone if i have uploaded them into the icloud?

    Is it possible to delete the original photos from my iphone if i have uploaded them into the icloud?
    Or are they then completely lost?

    Yes.  iTunes will report that your photos are now being accessed from iCloud Photo Library and will no longer sync photo and videos from your computer.  If you have a Mac, you'll want to avoid enabling it until OS X Yosemite in introduced along with it's built-in photo app, which will have to ability to access iCloud Photo Library.  (Note: the Photos app may not be introduced concurrently with Yosemite, but is supposed to follow "early next year".)

  • How to extract data from a dummy email address and insert them into APEX db

    Hi All,
    I am developing a project management system on APEX 4.1.0.00.21.
    A very important function for the system will be - one sends an email in certain format to a dummy email address, then some data will be extracted from the email based on the pre-defined format and inserted into the database my APEX application is using.
    Any idea on how I can make it happen please?
    Thanks,
    Christine

    A very important function for the system will be - one sends an email in certain format to a dummy email address, then some data will be extracted from the email based on the pre-defined format and inserted into the database my APEX application is using.
    Any idea on how I can make it happen please? I agree that this is not really an Apex question, but a more general PL/SQL question.
    There are many approaches, all boiling down to one of these two:
    1) Push: Some process in the mail server sends/forwards information to your database when new mail arrives.
    The language/tools used to do this, and the way it would connect to your database, depends on your environment (what is your operating system? mail server? existing middleware/tools? security protocols used? etc.).
    2) Pull: Some process in the database contacts the mail server and polls for new information.
    Ie. some PL/SQL code would communicate with the mail server. Again, it depends on your environment (what is your operating system? mail server? existing middleware/tools? security protocols used? etc.).
    For example, if you are using Exchange 2007 or newer, it has a web services API:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd877045.aspx
    The challenge here will be to build the correct SOAP requests from PL/SQL, and to handle the security protocols used.

  • My new wirelss keyboard is repeating the "\" character endlessly; also inserting them into the string of characters I'm typing.  It does is in word and in both safari and firefox.  How do I get this to stop?

    My new wireless keyboard is repeating the "\" character endlessly.  It also inserts the '\" into strings of characters as I type them in word or safari or firefox.  I can't erase the characters fast enough or type fast enough not to get these characters.  \Help!

    Try changing the batteries on the keyboard or see if the keyboard has some sort of reset available.

  • How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

    How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles (would like to move whole bookmark folders at once if possible) into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles? This is all under one window user account, I am using windows 8.1. Even if you have information on how to do it on a different windows, it may still be helpful. Thanks for any input you have.

    Just a note about the difference between these two things:
    * "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
    * "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.
    Related support articles:
    * [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    * [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile. See: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites].

  • Can I retrieve files from a modern Mac Backup drive to a PPC Mac?

    Can I retrieve files from a modern Mac Backup drive to a PPC Mac?  I have been having problems with my Macbook Pro not starting up.  I need to figure out how to access files with my PPC Desktop; if possible. 
    What type of files can I access and what type I cannot?
    My Macbook Pro: MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), 750GB HD, 2.2 GHz, 6 GB RAM
    My PPC: Power mac G4/Upgraded 1.2GHZ /800+RAM/3 HD =400+ GB, Mac OS X (10.4.2)
    Thanks in advance,
    God bless 

    You will need software that is compatible with the data files on the backup drive, ie. if they are .doc files you will need Word (or a substitute).
    You don't mention what type of files are on the drive so it is hard to be specific.

  • How can I retrieve playlists from another Spotify account

    How can I retrieve playlists from another Spotify account that the email is no longer active and I forgot the password to that account.

    Hey there , welcome to the community!
    Since you have two accounts, it would be best to just have Spotify close that account and have them transfer all your music to your new account. How does that sound? If you contact the accounts team through the online contact form and provide the account username with the e-mail address, date of birth, and zip code on the account then they should be able to do it for you! If you receive an automated e-mail directing you back to the community, just reply to it and you should receive a reply from a representative within 24-48 hours.

  • I am trying to connect my Sony DCR-TRV350 to iMovie so that I can make DVD's from family videos.  I am having problems getting the video camera connected.  Any advice on how to do this?

    I am trying to connect my Sony DCR-TRV350 to iMovie so that I can make DVD's from family videos.  I am having problems getting the video camera connected.  Any advice on how to do this?

    What happens when, after you connect your cam, you go to File > Import Media?
    But before that, does your cam require you to export your video files upon USB connection? I have a JVC Everio HD and I have to "Export to Library" from the cam's menu first-thing. This was true even in prior iMovie versions.

    I share this person's pain.  And was just now about to ask the same question.  So, in effect we're screwed.  I have the disc but without a drive I think E12 and this computer is going to have a very short life in my life.  And for the life of me, why is so darn hard to get questions answered by Adobe?  Good grief...I have 2 books and have saty through enough video "tutorials" to last me for some time!

  • Even though iOS cannot restore backups of newer devices, can it restore data from an older device using 7.1.2 to a newer device using iOS8

    iPhone 4s 16GB running iOS 7.1.2. Even though iOS cannot restore backups of newer devices, can it restore data from an older device using 7.1.2 to a newer device using iOS8

    Hi ,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you cannot use your Wi-Fi after the latest update to your iPhone 4s. I know you have already done some great troubleshooting by restoring with iTunes but the Wi-Fi becomes unavailable very quickly after you set it up. Go ahead and set up the iPhone so you can get into the Setting and then follow the steps provided in the attached article.
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
         Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you complete all of these steps and still are not able to access the Wi-Fi, it may be necessary to follow the link at the bottom of the page and contact Apple Support.
    Have a great day,

  • HT201210 how can i retrieve texts from an earlier back up without changing all the other settings on my iphone?

    how can i retrieve texts from an earlier back up without changing all the other settings on my iphone?

    You can't. Restoring from a backup is all or none.
    You can use a utility such as this one to extract the messages from the backup on your computer but you can't re-transfer the messages to the Messages app on your iPhone.
