How can I restore my original files and settings?

I had a computer crash and had to send my laptop in for service, in the process of it, I lost some files. All of my files are backed up on external hard drive, though, but I cannot get firefox to open the files now. I lost my custom preferences and saved passwords. Even though I have these files backed up, if I put them into the firefox folder again, firefox will not open them. Is there another way to retrieve my settings and passwords? I did manage to restore my bookmarks, at least.
I have windows 7 64bit on HP Pavilion DV-7 laptop.

  • I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

    I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
    You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.<br />
    A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":<br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
    You may need to add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

  • How can one  read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

    How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
    1. Excel File is on My PC.
    2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
    3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
    4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

    If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
    1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
    create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
    Note: This directory is on the server.
    2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
    You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
    3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
    Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
    function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
    p_filepath in varchar2
    ) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
    input_file utl_file.file_type;
    --declare a buffer to read text data
    input_buffer varchar2(4000);
    begin
    --using the UTL_FILE in built package
    input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
    utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
    --debug
    --dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
    utl_file.fclose(input_file);
    --return data
    return input_buffer;
    end;
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i make shorten systemlog files and joblog files on OS

    Hello
    How can i make shorten systemlog files and joblog files on OS

    Hello Jan,
    You can limit the size of system log.
    The size of the application server's System Log is determined by the
    following SAP profile parameters. Once the current System Log reaches
    the maximum file size, it gets moved to the old_file and and a new
    System Log file gets created. The number of past days messages in the
    System Log depends on the amount/activity of System Log messages and the
    max file size. Once messages get rolled off the current and old files,
    they are no longer retrievable.
    rslg/local/file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOG<SYSNO>
    rslg/local/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOGO<SYSNO>
    rslg/max_diskspace/local 1000000
    rslg/central/file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJ
    rslg/central/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJO
    rslg/max_diskspace/central
    Refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/c7/69bcbaf36611d3a6510000e835363f/content.htm
    for explanation of profile parameters.you can reduce the size of system log using rslg/max_diskspace_local and rslg/max_diskspace_central
    But you can't reduce the size of job log files on OS

  • How can i password protect some files and web sites?

    How can I possword protect some files and web sites on my mac air so others using my laptop can't access them?

    Set a password for your user; create other user accounts for when other people want to use it. You can create a "guest" login which gets wiped after every logout, if that's more appropriate for them.

  • How can I see the hidden file and erase it?

    I had to make a file starting "." and had to put it on my FTP client. I made it by Text Edit and Microsoft word and save it. Since it is hidden file, I can't see on my Mac but when I use the FTP client and click post, the file listing was showed up and I can check as "Show Hidden file". Then I could post the files on the FTP client. However, since I don't need it on my computer, I'd like to erase it but can't find the files. How can I find the hidden files? Thank you.

    if you know the folder then navigate to that folder. Open the Terminal application in your Utiities folder and do the following::
    Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • TS4036 how can I view backed up files and delete things I don't need

    how do I view backed up files and delete thing I don't need

    You can't view individual files contained in the backup.  You can control which apps are backed up, and whether or not the camera roll is included in the backup, by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tapping the name of your device under Backups, then looking under Backup Options.

  • How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

    How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
    Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh  f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
    Thank you!

    Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
    Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

  • How can i restore system recovery files to their original location? (HP Pavillion p6540F desktop)

    I have a HP Pavillion P6540F desktop running Windows 7 Home Premium. A few days ago a problem occured with windows which basically wiped out my OS and I had to restore my computer to factory settings. Before restoring my computer I backed up all of my files to a disk. Upon reinstalling windows I placed the disk with all of my recovery files on it into my computer and ran the recovery .exe file which began the download of my files. This all worked perfectly fine but the problem is that these files only saved to a file on my desktop and did not restore to their original locations. Is there any way to get these files to restore to the correct locations on my computer without having to manually drag the folders to their former locations? Honestly I do not know where many of these files were located before the restore, and many items such as preferences for certain programs are impossible for me to relocate. Thanks for the help.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The backup used in Recovery only restores the files to a folder, leaving the owner to move them.I agree, not the most helpful backup app but better than nothing I suppose.
