Favourites /Bookmarks not as before can't add new sites
Favourite/Bookmarks show as thin blue lines, still seem to be html.
No sign of Favcons and the original setout of the facility.
No sign of "Add to Favourites" in toolbar.
Maybe I have tick/unticked a vital element ?

I have used IE browser for many years and have collected hundreds of Bookmarks there. I recently changed over to Mozilla browser and imported all my Bookmarks to Mozilla from IE. The problem is whenever I try to add a new Bookmark to the Bookmarks I imported from IE it won't allow me to add new Bookmarks there. It only allows me to add a new Bookmark to Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar, Unsorted Bookmarks, or create a new folder. It doesn't give me an option of adding new Bookmarks to the Bookmarks I imported from IE. I would like to keep all my Bookmarks in order and not have to switch back and forth from new Mozilla Bookmarks and the Bookmarks I imported from IE. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks.

How can I add new sites to the "Most Visited"-Latest Headlines baqr?
In Windows XP I had a bar in Firefox where I could add frequently accessed sites such as news websites and brokerages.
== I got a new computer with Windows 7.Latest Headlines is a RSS Live feed and such feeds show a list that is retrieved from a website via an XML file.
You can't add items from or remove items from such a list.
"Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" are examples of the so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox 3.
The bookmarks that show up in such smart folder listing are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
Such lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default and you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
The items that are removed from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
You can open a bookmark from such a list in a tab and click the star on the location bar or use the Bookmark menu item 'Bookmark This Page' to see the location (folder) and edit the properties of the bookmark (name, location, folder) and move it to another folder or remove the bookmark. -
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. -
How can I add new songs to the top (not the bottom) of my playlist in iTunes?
How can I add new songs to the top of my playlist in iTunes?
I thought thats what it did before but now it automatically adds new songs to the bottom of the list.
Not a huge issue but an annoyance.Go to your Music library
Then, Click Playlist
Then, Click the sort arrow until it points down. -
Just recently I am unable to add new bookmarks. All my old ones are there, I just can't add new ones. Usually when I click "bookmark this page" a small black window pops up and allows me to determine which folder i'm going to save the page in, but the widow now doesn't even show up. The only page I CAN bookmark and this window shows up is on yahoo's homepage which made me notice something. There is a star in the address bar that gets filled in blue only when i'm on yahoo. Every other page, it becomes colorless. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this or not though
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Someone stole my iPhone I have find my iPhone app but it's not working how can I add my iPhone to d app from my iPad???
Having the app is irrelevant.
The ONLY thing that matters is whether "Find My iPhone" was enabled on the missing device before it was lost/stolen. If it was not enabled, there is nothing that can be done. -

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.
"it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to? That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to. -
i have problem with my contacts. I can't send message if the contact didn't send me a message before. How can I add new address?
Hi tizac,
You will want to add them to your Contacts.
There's a "+" button at the bottom of the contact list on the left to add a contact.
If you need to add the email address or phone number to an existing contact, there's an Edit button at the bottom of the contact info (on the right).
Once you have the contact email address or phone number you want to message to, scroll all the way down to the bottom of their information and there are options to:
Send Message FaceTime
Share Contact Add to Favorites
Of course choose "Send Message" to send an iMessage to them and you will start a new chat. You will be given the options of how to contact them, via phone number (if they are on an iPhone) or email (if they are on an iPod touch or iPad). They do need to be signed up for iMessage or it won't allow you to send.

Can I set top site to not add new sites automatically?
Can I set top site to not add new sites automatically? It is annoying to have to throw out sites I don't want to retain on my startup page.
Your homepage is set in Safari > Preferences > General

I have been trying to add new sites to my toolbar, but it won't. I don't know when it started, but it has been quite a while.
So I am not second guessing too much, tell us where you are in fact plugging it in. I merely mentioned the keyboard USB socket (not even knowing what computer type you have (it helps to put that in your user profile) and maybe you don't even have a keyboard socket) because I (and others) have tried plugging a flash drive into my keyboard's USB and gotten a "too little power" message.

I have purchased a new iMac, with Safari 5.0.5, but it won't retain bookmarks, I thought I can download a new Safari from Apple. So I deleted Safari from the application folder.
Then I tried to download Safari from Firefox but after finish download, what I got was a dmg file, with a pkg icon (an opened box) and it can't be installed. Same with Google Chrome.
My question is: how can I download Safari? And will it retain bookmarks?Reinstall Safari from the Optional Installs.pkg on your Mac install disc that came with your iMac. Or in your case, you use Pacifist to extract the Safari app from the .dmg file.
To bookmark a webpage:
Go to the webpage you want to bookmark. If you use tabs, you can open multiple webpages in tabs to bookmark them as a collection.
Choose Bookmarks > Add Bookmark, or Bookmarks > “Add Bookmarks for These Tabs.”
Type a name for the bookmark or collection in the dialog that appears.
Specify where you want to keep the bookmark or collection. You can add it to the bookmarks bar, the Bookmarks menu, or to a collection if you have created any.
Click Add.
To add a bookmark quickly, click the Add button in the toolbar, or drag the webpage’s icon from the address field to the bookmarks bar.
To see your bookmarks, choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.
In the future, rather then deleting an app, come here and ask for help first. More times then not, you will save yourself time and trouble. -
How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.
