Having trouble editing bookmarks because FF won't tell me where they are when I click on the yellow star.

The yellow star works fine for storing new bookmarks, but if the bookmark already exists, I get only the small "edit bookmark" box, and not the full box that shows where it is and lets me edit it. My bookmarks are all organized into folders, and sometimes I can't remember where that bookmark is stored. Any ideas why I should have such a problem?

Sorry, Firefox doesn't have a "locator" for bookmarks that will tell you exactly which sub-folder a bookmark is located in. IMO, a major lack of usability, but the problem has existed forever and I got used to it.
But there are two add-ons available for a feature like that. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/EN-US/firefox/addon/go-parent-folder/<br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/EN-US/firefox/addon/show-parent-folder/
Without installing an add-on this is what I do. <br />
{ Ctrl + B } to open the Bookmarks sidebar. Use the ''Search'' at the top to find that bookmark, then right-click and select Properties.

  • I am having trouble editing track names and information in my Itunes library.  Help center says click on selected track, click on file, click on get info, make changes, and press save.  When I get to get info, it won't let me change anything. Help??

    How do I edit track names and information in my I-tunes library?  I followed the Help Center instructions, but it will not let me change anything.  Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Those symptoms usually indicate a permissions problem. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice.

  • I can't access my pictures anymore through iPhoto because I simply don't know where they are stored when imported into iPhoto. The library used automatically before is not shown anymore. Can anyone help me to recover all my pictures?

    I had some problems with my MacbookPro and did some clean up and further back-up (time machine already in place for a long time). Now, suddenly I can't access my pictures anymore through iphoto asking me for a library (never asked for before) and I have no clue where the pictures are actually saved when imported in iphoto. Can anyone help me recover my pictures, such as telling me WHERE the pictures are actually stored? Thank you so much!

    I had some problems with my MacbookPro and did some clean up
    A critical question - exactly what "clean up" did you do and how?
    Do you have an iPhoto library in yoru pictures folder? If you depress and hold the option key and launch iPhoto - what do you see in the select library window? Select each library there and see what you have

  • Safari won't provide a drop down menu when I click on paper clip in outlook email. Any help on this would be great.

    I am using Microsoft Outlook for work email and Safari won't display a drop down menu when I click on the paper clip for attachments. The IT person at work says the browser isn't working or Safari isn't updated and I should try a different browser.   My other Comcast email is fine. I can attach anything.  Any help would be great.

    You could try enabling the Develop menu and try using IE but no guarantees. Not surprising that (Microsoft) Outlook isn't compatible with Apples' Safari.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Prerferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now from the Safari menu bar top of your screen click Develop > User Agent
    Try IE 7, 8, or 9.

  • I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..

    I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..

    The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
    Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
    iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

  • I'm having trouble transfering bookmarks from Safari to Firefox. File, "Import" button is grayed out. I've gone through your trouble shooting, the database for imports is no longer current.

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have the latest version of Firefox 5.0. I'm over Apple's Safari, and I'd like to transfer my bookmarks into Firefox. I've gone through your help and support section and found an article that could help me. However, when I click File, the "import" button is grayed out. Which prevents me from importing bookmarks into your browser. So I drug the Firefox icon into the recycle bin, and hit empty trash, then re-downloaded the firefox software from your site, and it seemed to remember my old bookmarks from a year ago. The file, "import" button was still grayed out, so I couldn't update my entire new list of bookmarks onto your web browser.

  • Having trouble trying to open links on my recieved mail.  The only response I get when I click on the link is, "No associated application could be found".

    Having trouble trying to open links on my recieved mail.  The only response I get when I click on the link is, "No associated application could be found".
    How can I correct this problem?

    What type of file is it? What is the extension (the 3 letters after the . (DOT)) of the file?
    Could be it is a Windows Exe file and simply will not run on a Mac. Which is good because anyone that would send you a excute (.EXE) file is up to no good. just my opinion.

  • I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod.  I don't see the photos tab in Itunes?? Prob user error but wanted to get some help.

    I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod.  I don't see the photos tab in I-tunes? I'm sure its user error but wanted to get some help.

    What's the origin of this external drive? It sounds very much like it's a Windows-formatted (NTFS) drive which Macs can't write to. If you can, copy the files off the drive, reformat it as Mac format (using Disk Utility) and copy the files back. If you need to continue writing to it from a Windows PC, you should format it ExFAT in Disk Utility.

  • Having trouble installing ProIX on new Windows 8 machine after XP crash.  Get almost ll of the way through and get an error box ... contact system support.  Only way out is to abort and then it un-installs.  Wondering if a licensing max issue since we did

    having trouble installing ProIX on new Windows 8 machine after XP crash.  Get almost ll of the way through and get an error box ... contact system support.  Only way out is to abort and then it un-installs.  Wondering if a licensing max issue since we didn't get an opportunity to uninstall off of crashed machine?

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • I no longer get the "edit this bookmark" box when click on the gold star

    Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP professional, version 5.1.2600 service pack 3, build 2600. Have "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on installed, working fine, but 4 days ago clicking on the star icon to edit an existing bookmark stopped working. Hovering over the gold star still gives the pop up message "edit this bookmark" - but when I click on it, nothing happens, the edit bookmark box does not appear. Also, the "Options" button for the "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on is greyed out, so no luck with trying to fix it from there.

    i tried this idea even tho on my main pc Mcafee SA does not cause the problem. on the laptop it has just happened and i have removed and re-installed firefox to no avail. any other ideas please?

  • I'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

    i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

    What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
    Can you count the beeps or flashes?
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

  • I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent.

    I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent. When sending an email, Mail apparently works for a while but does'nt sent anything. I repeated sending the mail with the same result and 2 or more mails in the draft folder. Yesterday I discovered that the mail had been sent 4 times!. Now I have the same problem: the mail has not been sent, it appears in the draft folder, I try to delete it but the mail remains in the draft folder. This happens after updating to Mac OS X 10.7.2 and migrating to iCloud.
    I have MacBook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 Mb ram memory, Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2).

    If those music are greyed out in iTunes on your laptop, are you able to play the music? If you cannot, it means that you probably deleted the mp3 file or moved it to another location where iTunes can no longer find. If they are greyed out on iTunes and cannot play them, I would just right click and delete it. Then re-sync with your iPad.

  • I'm having trouble with my sound up and sound down keys. They're doing other functions. This is only a new thing.

    I'm having trouble with my 'sound up' and 'sound down' keys. They're doing other functions. This is only a relatively new thing.

    You didn't mention what those "other functions" were.  That might help!
    First thing to check is System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab - make sure "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" is un-checked.  Hopefully that still works in Mountain Lion.
