My original computer hard drive crashed. I have a new laptop, but I lost all my address book entries. Is there a way I can transfer my contacts on my ipad to my non-apple laptop? Tom B

If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

I can not create new bookmarks. New bookmarks don't show up in my bookmarks list.

i have a list of about 20 bookmarks but i can not add new bookmarks to it.

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

Tried toadd new subaccount, instead I lost all my existing subaccounts and saved emails. Help!

I tried to add an additional sub-account under local folders; instead all my existing local folders disappeared with all my saved emails including valuable information.
I cannot find any information on where to find these missing sub folders.
As far as I can understand it, doing a system restore will NOT restore them. They are not in the delete box.
Any thoughts on where they have disappeared to?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, I meant subfolders.
I have since realized that the missing files ARE still on my computer but now I can't find the trail to get to them.

I can no longer get the Bookmarks function in Firefox to work. I can´t create new bookmarks

I have tried to uninstall and download a new version of the installation program which I have installed, but the problem remains.

One of these article should help, [[Bookmarks not saved]] or [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite Locked or damaged places.sqlite - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]

My bookmarks are gone, I can not create new bookmarks, I cannot navigate using the back button

I am running Mac OSX 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.13. Yesterday, after I had been on the internet multiple times, I opened Firefox and my Booksmarks toolbar and navigation toolbar were both empty. My booksmarks don't exist when I open the Organize Bookmarks window. My history is also gone. I cannot navigate using the backbutton. I restarted Firefox and there was no change; restarted my MacBook had no effect. I searched for similar problems and tried opening Tools > Add Ons> Extensions, but there is nothing on that screen, and the 'Find updates' button can not be clicked. It is not keeping me logged into pages that I have been previously logged into, but it does remember passwords. If there are other problems, I have not encountered them yet.

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

Error message appear when creating new bookmarks

When creating new bookmarks a pop-up window appear with the following info:
unload: [Exception..."Component retyrned failure code:0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIObserverService.removeObserver]" nsresult:"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame:: chrome://trustchecker/content/trustchecker.js:: anonymous:: line 955" data:no]
The bookmark is saved at the bottom of the list but it is not possible to select folder to store bookmark. How do I fix this problem?

I believe Trust Checker is part of Zone Alarm, to test this try disabling the Zone Alarm add-ons in Firefox to see if you can then create new bookmarks.
To disable extensions:
Click the Tools menu and then select Add-ons . The Add-ons window appears.
# In the Add-ons window, click the Extensions panel. The list of installed extensions appears.
# Click the name of an extension in the list to select it.
# Click Disable to disable the selected extension.
# Click Restart Firefox .
If it does turn out to be the Zone Alarm extension causing the problem, check for any updates to Zone Alarm, if none you could report the issue to them.

I've lost my iCal calendars and can't create new ones

I've used iCal flawlessly for a long time. Suddenly, though, I noticed that I lost all my indivdual calendars in iCal. I couldn't see any calendar postings in the main calendar until I trashed my pref file from the library and relaunched. Then I would see the individual events created under my "home" calendar, yet I would not see the "home" calendar listed as an option in the left-hand view of calendars. Plus, I now can't create new calendars.
Anybody have any idea what's going on here?

Is this correct: you had multiple calendars; they disappeared from the calendar pane and their events from the main pane; you deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ical.plist; you now have a single calendar (Home) but cannot make more; you can see the events in Home?
Can you add events to Home?
Can you see as many folders in ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/ as you used to have calendars?
Double-click ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/nodes.plist. Click the black triangle beside the word Root. In the line "List Array ..." how many ordered objects are reported? Does this match your original calendar count?
What have you added/changed/modified recently? Might it have involved any fonts?

I want to sort all my bookmarks alphabetically but can't. You only let me drop a bookmark into an already-existing folder. And if that is the only way, how can I create new folders?

My bookmarks have disappeared and I can't add new bookmarks.

All my bookmarks have disappeared, including the defaults on the toolbar of most visited, etc. I can't add new bookmarks either. I have tried all the Help Topics on lost bookmarks. I tried restoring bookmark backups, but the backup from the date I lost bookmarks says "unable to process backup file." All the later dates will load, but they have no bookmarks saved in them. All of the other Help Topic attempts went fine but did not solve the problem.

What I would say is that if you have any bookmarks at all at present that you make a manual backup of them, and then continue to make manual backups as any recovery efforts proceed.
* see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
There is a possibility that you had corrupt files, and may then have inadvertently overwritten any files that may have contained bookmarks. It is a good idea to make manual backups, for cases where the auto backups do not. work as expected.
If you have already followed the instructions carefully about [[lost bookmarks]] and without resolving the situation, there may not be much you can do about your personal bookmarks. If they are important and you are willing to try there may be a possibility using file recovery software, &/or sqlite editors that something could be salvaged, but not something I can advise on, I am not currently a Mac user.
The default bookmarks should be fairly easy to restore. You can probably also start the bookmarks working again. Trying the simplest options first:
# work from [safe mode]
#* at this stage when you see the first dialogue window with options do not make changes, press the continue button
# use the customise / customize option from the toolbars and '''reset defaults'''
#* Mac may differ from my Windows XP, I can right click bookmarks, or use the tools menu see [[How do I customize the toolbars?]]
# if that has failed to resolve the problem go back to safe mode as in step 1 but this time use reset toolbars and controls.
By now you should have the default bookmarks back and maybe the bookmarks work and will save new bookmarks, try it whilst still in safe mode, before going back to try in ordinary mode. If it works in safe mode but not in ordinary mode you probably have some add-on managing to cause problems
If you still have problems and bookmarks will not save see [[bookmarks not saved]] that probably indicates corrupt places.sqlite &/or localstore.rdf the linked article explains how to find and delete them.

Creating New Bookmark Programmatically in Acrobat v9

I want to programmatically create new bookmarks in Acrobat v9.
For v7 the code I'm using is app.MenuItemExecute({cName:"Split Bookmarks",cParent:"Edit",cExec:"brk(this.bookmarkRoot);",nPos:1}).
What has this been updated to in v9?
Thank you.

Sorry, I sent the wrong line of code.
Has this command been updated for v9:
app.execMenuItem("NewBookmark")
When I run the below code Acrobat says there is an internal error.
I'm assuming the issue is "app.execMenuItem("NewBookmark")".
function brk(splitbm)
// * is the authors choice for the split character, you may change it
if (splitbm.name.indexOf('*') != -1)
split(splitbm);
//split if the bookmark name has the ^ charater
if (splitbm.children != null)
for (var i=0;i< splitbm.children.length;i++)
newbrk(splitbm.children[i]);
// split all the children bookmarks of mybm
function split(bm)
var bmname=bm.name;
var splitat=bmname.indexOf('*');
// The user can change the * , remember to change the previous function as well
var topname=bmname.substring(0,splitat);
var botname=bmname.substring(splitat+1,bmname.length);
var thisdoc=bm.doc;
bm.execute();
app.execMenuItem("NewBookmark");
var thisdoc=bm.doc;
var rootlen=thisdoc.bookmarkRoot.children.length;
var newbm=thisdoc.bookmarkRoot.children[rootlen-1];
newbm.name=botname;
bm.name=topname;
// make all [childbookmarks of mybm] newbm's children
if (bm.children != null)
var endpos=bm.children.length;
for(a=0;a<endpos;a++)
newbm.insertChild(bm.children[0]);
//make newbm mybm's child
bm.insertChild(newbm);
app.addMenuItem({cName:"Split Bookmarks",cParent:"Edit",cExec:"brk(this.bookmarkRoot);",nPos:1});

After upgrade to 6.3.4 cannot create new bookmarks by dragging nor open existing bookmark properties

Just upgraded to 3.64. Now I cannot create new bookmarks either by dragging a URL or trying to create a new one in organize bookmarks. For existing bookmarks when I hit properties on the pop up menu all I get is a title bar that says "bookmark properties for (name of bookmark)" but I can't resize it or otherwise manipulate the title bar to access information or change the properties

Hello Victor.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

I did a system retsore to 2 weeks ago. I have had firefox for 2 years on this computer. Now firefox will nolonger open. I know i can download it again - but will have lost all my bookmarks & is there a way to get it all back?

I did a system retsore to restore to a date 2 weeks ago. I have had firefox for 2 years on this computer. Since I did the restore firefox will nolonger open. I know i can download it again - but will have lost all my bookmarks etc. is there a way to get it all back?

Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) is an old version of Linux from 2009. You're gonna need to upgrade to a newer operating system to use a more recent version of Firefox.
My advice is to consult with the Ubuntu support forums to find out if your PC can support the latest version of Ubuntu, or if you should switch to a different "flavor" of Linux.
