You can find your personal data including the bookmarks in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.

  • Time Machine does not recognize my iMac backup. Reports: not enough space; can't back up. How do I get it to recognize the backup?

    Time Machine does not recognize my 430 GB iMac backup on 1 terabyte Time Capsule. Reports: not enough space; can’t back up. How do I get it to recognize the old backup and continue backups?

    Thanks for the Time Machine Troubleshooting link. Apparently things have changed since 10.7.0. Backups.backupdb doesn’t exist. Path now is: Time Capsule/Data/Daru’s iMac.sparsebundle. So I did Terminal (I usually avoid Terminal) using the instruction in B6. It does not appear to be working. It went through looking for backup, preparing backup, and is now stopping backup, and the TMBackup has disappeared from the sidebar.
    Well, just now Time Machine progressed to preparing backup again; the Tiime Machine Backups appeared in sidebar, and with it Backups.backupdb/Daru’s iMac/2012-04-21-112939.inProgress. So it does exist... I’ll let it run, see what happens... But that is a strange date. Today is 28.
    I’ll let you know the outcome.
    Oops. Just ended! Real time report: “Backup too large for disk...“ So it is not recognizing the old backup. I’ll look at those instructions again, see if I can do the Terminal thing with the backup running. I doubt I can damage anything except the existing baackup which I'll lose anywy if I can’t achieve recognition.

  • How do I get a copy of the Mountain Lion OS that I can use to recover?

    How do I make a disc image of my Mac Mini HD that id bootable and has the operating system with all the programs, settings and data.  If I need to replace a defective hard drive it would be good to have an image on a USB flash drive to restore previous settings and the operating system -- Mountain Lion, 10.8.1.  I have been told that TimeMachine does not make a true disc image.  I want a "hard copy" of the operating system that does not require an internet connection.

    Unfortunately, the link for getting specific hardware versions has disappeared. So basically:
    Get yourself a spare hard drive freshly erased or with a freshly erased partition of around 8 GBs or more.
    Boot to your Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion from the main menu.
    From the beginning screen select your spare partition/drive as the target destination then begin the download.
    At the end of the download you will observe an Install button for you to click. Now this is important - as soon as that gadget appears you must abort the installation process. There are only two reliable ways to do this quickly: a. yank the cable for the drive from the computer; b. pull the power on the computer - shut it down quickly.
    This will result in your finding a folder on the drive that contains InstallESD.dmg that you can now use to create a bootable USB flash drive installer based on the special build for your model. Use it until the next public release of Lion appears or you move on to Mountain Lion.
    If you do not stop the download process immediately upon its completion you will end up with an installer that always boots to a non-functioning installation progress window instead of the normal main menu.
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

  • How do I get a copy of each bookmark's web address so that I can paste them into a Word doc?

    I am going on a trip and will be using another person's computer and would like to have access to my bookmarks.

    If that person lets you set up a Firefox profile for our own use you may be able to make that the same as your present computer's Firefox.
    If that is not going to be an option then export your bookmarks as html. Take that file with you, or put it on the web where it is accessible. Opening the file with Firefox will give you a bookmarks listing. It will have descriptions and some structure, but nothing like as good as the proper bookmarks.
    The file will also open in most word processors.
    You could even take Firefox with you. Consider use of the unofficial Firefox Portable as an additional browser.

  • How do I get a copy of the original disks.

    I purchased every OS from the begining of time :-) and find myself needing to reinstall 10.5 on an old iBook G4. I can't find the original disk, if in fact there was originals.

    Apple no longer sells OS X 10.5 Leopard. You'll need to go to either the used market, Amazon (as Niel mentioned) or hardcoremac may still have copies. Be prepared for sticker shock.

  • How do I get a copy of the iOS background photo since I lost the original?

    I took a very nice photo and set it as my background photo for my iPod Touch 4th generation currently running iOS 6.0.1 and unfortunately I lost the original image file and there is no way I could find it, and I was wondering if there was anyway I could retrieve it from my iPod since it is still set as the background?

    No way that I know of.

  • How do I get a copy of the SMS/MMS text message logs from my iPhone?

    I need to get a log of all the SMS text message conversations and MMS photos from my iPhone.
    What's the best program out there that will copy these logs onto my computer? I have Mac and Windows both available to me.

    Thank you very much! My searching hadn't uncovered those before. I just gave them a try - TouchCopy hung while I was looking through my SMS logs (and also the TouchCopy interface is a mess), but PhoneView was able to save them as a PDF file complete with all the MMS images in the right places. I bought PhoneView for $20 and it does the job just fine!

  • Somehow I lost Disk Utilities on my hard drive (OSX10.9.5) how do I get another copy

    Somehow I lost Disk Utilities on my hard drive, Ive searched and it just doesn't exist anywhere. (OSX10.9.5) how do I get another copy?

    Thanks Neil.  No, of course there was no backup to restore from, but the Command + R worked like a charm (after a mirror backup, just in case) .
    I had totally forgotten the Command R trick. I've only had Macs since 1984, so I'm sort of  newbie here ;-)  Just a brain **** from an old man.
    Again thanks!

  • Hi, I'd like to set alarms or reminders on my I phone or I pad so that it can update or sync automatically with each other. I don't know if this is possible or how to do it. I hope you can help..

    Hi, I'd like to set alarms or reminders on my I phone or I pad so that it can update or sync automatically with each other. I don't know if this is possible or how to do it. I hope you can help.

    HI, if I did this, then I believe that I cloud would then hold my info which I don't want. Is that the case? The reason is that I'm an old git, therefore used to not giving out info. Would I be right?
    Thank-You so much for taking the time to answer.

    Hi fellow apple guys, i have this problem. Hope you can help me. I don't know how to use the function keys (F1 to F12) on my macbook air. Pls help

    Out of the box, to use the function keys as function keys, hold down the fn key when you press the key. Otherwise, you get the picture function on the key. You can reverse this behavior in the Keyboard system prefs.
