Hi, i cant restore my bookmarks

hi,
today i opened firefox and all my bookmarks on the screen where gone i tried to import them back ( have 8 or nine different dates that i can restore it to) i can click on the dates provided and a pop up says that it will restore it to that particular date. But nothing happens . i tried everything and the settings are right
Remember my browsing and download history is on. History is shown after recover but bookmarks are not recovered and shown
Click the Bookmarks button Bookmarks button win 2 on the right side of the navigation toolbar and select Show All Bookmarks to open the Library window.
In the Library window, click the Import and Backup button and then select Restore.
Select the backup from which you want to restore:
The dated entries are automatic backups.
Choose File... lets you restore from a manual backup (see above).
After choosing a backup, your bookmarks from that file will be restored. Close the Library window.
This happened suddenly that bookmarks where gone. i had no update of any sort
Thanks

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Bookmarks missing cant restore from json file

All of my bookmarks have suddenly vanished. [Firefox also started to crash and would show no bookmarks until I later created a new profile.] I tried....
1] restoring from Bookmarks - Show all bookmarks - Import export - Restore.
[I can see a list of earlier backups of my bookmarks , the Json files, but when I try to restore I get Error 'unable to process the backup file] .
2] using Places Maintenance add-on but it didn't resolve the problem [I tried all the options, several times and I left it for a long time to run, but it did not seem to do anything at all really].
3] creating a new Firefox profile using profile manager, and then tried to restore from a .json via restore backup in bookmark manager. I also tried copying and moving file to a different location.
4] uninstalling and re installing Firefox.
I still have a all the auto back ups of my bookmarks the [.json files, but no .html backups]. If the .json files are corrupted, is they a way I can repair them and restore a back up?
I don't know if it happened after an update or not, it might have been an auto update, and I cant really recall doing anything to cause it.
[I am using windows 7 Home premium 64 sp1, and now have Firefox version 33.0.]
Really hope you can help, many thanks.

Use these instructions to get a copy of the old bookmarks backup
and place it in the new profile. If you need better instructions, just ask.
'''(Open to the old profile)'''
Type '''about:support'''<enter> in the address bar.
Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
'''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
Enter the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. This is where Firefox makes backups
of your bookmarks. Look for the '''jsonlz4''' file you want to restore
(check the time / date / size). Right click on that file and select '''Copy.'''
'''(Close current Firefox, then open to the new profile)'''
'''(Repeat above steps to open the new Profile Folder)'''
Now go back to the profile folder where you started. Rename the file
'''places.sqlite''' by adding '''.old''' to it. Now right click in the folder
and select '''Paste.''' The file you just pasted here, rename it to
'''places.sqlite.''' After you are done, restart Firefox.

Cant restore bookmarks

As my laptop was playing up, I did a manual back up on bookmarks, stored everything on my external hard drive, and deleted and reinstalled OSX. Now when i go to restore my bookmarks as directed by the Firefox help guide, the following message comes up:
Firefox
Unsupported file type
Please can someone give me some suggestions?
Many thanks,
Jim

There is a clear distinction between importing bookmarks and restoring bookmarks.
Restore replaces all of your bookmarks and is from a bookmark backup file which has a .json file extension.
Import adds the bookmarks to the bottom of your Bookmarks Menu and is from a bookmarks file (HTML format). the HTML file is what is used to copy bookmarks from another browser and is the format that was originally used by most browsers for their actually bookmarks.
The places.sqlite file is the actual bookmarks and history file in Firefox, to use it you would have to replace your existing file in your profile while Firefox is down,
and you would have had to of saved it originally to your backup device when Firefox was down.
So what is the filename of the backup and how did you create it, or copy it from your old system. Manually is not really enough of a description. Was Firefox down when you backed up the file.

Cant find my bookmarks from yesterday

cant find my bookmarks from yesterday

Hi,
You can try to '''Restore''' an appropriate set via '''Bookmarks''' ('''Alt''' + '''B''') > '''Show All Bookmarks''' > '''Import and Backup'''. As a precaution you may also want to '''Export Bookmarks to HTML...''' first which you can '''Import Bookmarks from HTML''' later if anything goes wrong.

I cant restore my HP G62 notebook PC to factory setting as i get the message boot manager missing

I having trouble when i try to restore my laptop to factory setting, it tells me the Bootmanager is missing, this also happens with system restore.

I rememberd my HP laptop, but forgot about its problem untill i started using it, and i still cant restore it to factory and still get "bootmanager " missing.
Please help, im disabled and rely on my laptop for shopping etc.
Thanks

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
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

I restored my bookmarks from a resent .json file, but one folder is now empty and one is missing.

Hi,
Because of reasons my computer needed to be refreshed. My old firefox profile folder was saved though, and with that the bookmarkbackups. As the title says I restored my bookmarks from a resent .json file, but one folder (containing probably about a hundred bookmarks) is now empty and one other is missing completely.
In some places I have a 5 levels deep folder structure for my bookmarks, but since the folders missing are from different levels I don't think this is the problem.
The now empty folder contained six or seven other folders, that in turn contained a lot of bookmarks with titles including non-alphanumerical characters. †?|&*()<-/., to be precise. However, if I restore a very old .json (from september 2013) the folders are present and contain the mentioned bookmarks - albeit much fewer, since the file is old. A few other bookmarks still present also contain the mentioned characters, so this is probably not the problem either.
The folder that is completely missing just contained a lot of bookmarks that were to be sorted.
When opening the more recent .json files (I have a whole month of automatic backups to choose from) in the firefox scratchpad it would seem that the bookmarks are missing alltogether, so I suppose that there is not much to do about it (please correct me if I'm wrong), but I definitely want to report the bug.
Is there anything at all to do about it?
Thanks,
Hanna

If the bookmarks aren't present in the JSON backup then it is likely that you got a corrupted places.sqlite file at some time that caused the backup not working properly.
Did you try all the backups?
Note that the xxxx part of the bookmarks-####-##-##_xxxx.json file name shows the number of bookmarks in the file.

TS1372 1439 cant restore ipod on windows vista, keeps mentioning its corrupt?

1439 fault? cant restore ipod nano on windows vista? trying to restore it because windows is telling me it corrupt?? help

Looks like the iPod Hardisk is having problem.
Can you do the iPod Disk Diagnostics as posted by tt2, it wont fix your problem but helps in troubleshooting.
You system check maybe above but dont go for Auto, select the Manual test, as tt2 described in his detailed post.

Hi, I upgraded my Iphone 3gs from version 4.1 to 6.0.1 but upon restarting, the sim card is no longer recognized, i cant restore with itune nothing at all!! i'm so confused and ****** off... please provide any help

Is the SIM from the carrier the device is locked to?
Has the device ever been hacked or jailbroken?
Have you tried simply removing and re-installing the SIM? What about replacing the SIM?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How do I restore my bookmarks from an HTML file?

I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I want to restore my bookmarks from an HTML file.
This used to be accessible via "Bookmarks-> Organise Bookmarks" but the "Organise Bookmarks" menu item no longer exists so I'm stymied.
This help system seems to think that it does exist, however, so please note that on my system, it does NOT. I suspect that hundreds, thousands, or even millions of new Ubuntu 11.04 users will be facing exactly the same problem.
I don't think users will be able to help with this one unless someone knows how to restore the "Organise Bookmarks" menu item. It's the only one that will do what I want and so there's no point recommending "Show All Bookmarks" as a solution. That doesn't work.
Finally, persuading this system that I really do have a new problem that isn't covered in the FAQs was a very irritating experience. I wonder if Chrome will know what to do with my "bookmarks.html" file?

Update to my previous posting. I just installed Chromium, and it took '''LESS than 10 seconds''' to import my bookmarks. Why would I waste any more time with Firefox?? I had intended to give Firefox 4 a chance to show me what improvements had been made, but who needs the grief. Bad move guys... bad move.

Cant restore?? Help please??

My ipod has suddenly stopped me putting songs onto it, it keeps coming up with the errors (-53)
Ive tries to restore it, it says it restoring but when its finished my musics still on it.
Can anyone help??

In addition i have to say that i am VERY dissapointed with apple customer service. There is no support contact information (at least i couldnt find one), there is no german support forum and the support pages are obviously wrong. For example the part in which they explain how to restore your ipod.
Let me quote:
"Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
* Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
* Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
* Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
* Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
Thats definetly wrong. I dont get these 4 option, my only option is to restore and update.
I cant understand why i cant restore my ipod without itunes connecting to apple-server. And as stated above i cant get a working connection (always timeout error) - all my other software which updates per internet works fine (for example antivirus software). Thats really annoying.
And on top there is no one i can contact personally if things dont work properly.

You backup the phone memory data through PC Suit to your PC-I find it more convenient to backup the data on PC.
