How can I update to Firefox 27.0.1 without losing all my history and bookmarks?

I can't find a way to update Firefox. I tried following what they say and clicking "About Firefox" but it does absolutely NOTHING to help... It tells me to recheck for updates online and ends up sending me to the very same screen that said to click "About Firefox" in the first place! I also tried clicking on the update window that pops up, but whenever I click on it it will get stuck and only say, "connecting to server." I hear you can reinstall Firefox but I CANNOT lose all of my history and bookmarks. Is there anything on earth I can do?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 27.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • How do I update my iPad 2 to iOS5 WITHOUT LOSING ALL APPS, folders and data.

    I lost it all on my iPhone when I upgraded to iOS5.... 400+ apps, with progress on all of them, gone. A dozen or more folders, GONE. The update process did NOT restore everything as stated on Apple's website. So I have to redownload? Recreate all folders? This is PATHETIC. Apple screwed us hard on this pathetic attempt of an update. Great for new-combers but not for anyone else.

    Apple definitely dropped the ball on instructions, but I'll give you the same reply I just gave this other user: click on SYNC on your iTunes with your updated iPad connected. ALLLLL your stuff is there, folders, apps everything. Don't be scared. They'll reappear (unless you didn't make a backup, which, however, is done automatically for you during the upgrade).
    For some reason, Apple didn't inform people that they must click on Sync as the final step after the upgrade. I thought the same thing as you did. But everything reappeared after I read about the solution online.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPod to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPod under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • How can I update my phone to iOS 5 without losing my music, not being able to use computer with my music on it

    I can't use the computer I would normally use since the monitor is broken.. how can I update my phone for the latest version iOS 5 without losing my music?

    Borrow a monitor from a friend or neighbor. If you update it on a machine other than the one you normally sync with, the music will be lost until you can set it back up to sync with the original iTunes library (or a new library that contains your music).

  • HT2731 my oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother.  I need to know how to unlink the old ipod from her account without losing all the music and games on it.  He would like to have his own account.

    My oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother.  How do I unlink his ipod from her account and set up his own without losing the music and apps already on it?

    Connect it to his iTunes library and set it up as a new device.  You should be prompted to Erase and Sync the iPod if his iTunes library is separate from hers.
    Or head to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all Content and Settings.

  • How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without lossing all my music?

    How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without losing all my music?
    I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

    How can I update my Safari 5.1.10 without updating my OS 10.6.8 to Yosemite?

    It may seem a bit irrelevant but I also have a question, regarding Safari 5.1.10, just a bit different one that I asked some time ago and will try once again: If I'm a Lion user, can I update my Safari 5.1.7 to 5.1.10? 5.1.7 came with Lion 10.7.5 I'm currently on.
    Much appreciated,

    I'm overseas and need to sync my iphone with itunes but I don't have my computer. How can I sync it to my friends computer without losing my music and data?

    Why do you need to sync your iPhone with iTunes - for what purpose?
    You can transfer iTunes content and photos from one computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this will occur.

    Yes, when you update you should lose any data, but make sure you have a Time Machine backup just in case. 

  • MacBook Pro2012 : How can you get hard drive upgraded in Netherlands without losing warranty?

    My MacBook Pro (2012) hard drive is almost full, Apple refuses to provide hard drive upgrade service, how can you get hard drive upgraded in Netherlands without losing warranty?

    Dear Ralph, and All
    My MBP is indeed non-retina.
    I also have Apple care support for 3 years
    I was in touch with Apple suport since last week. Response I got on Phone was pretty astounding (waiting email confirmation). They say following
    - Apple support does not provide such service of upgrading hard drive
    - Doing it yourself means you will lose warranty (due to nature of operation one would need to perform on the computer)
    - None of authorised delars will provide such a service
    So as such there apparantly is no way to get your hard drive upgraded without losing warranty.
    Leaves me a bit perplexed
    I do understand MBP retina (or iPAD / iPhones) are manufactured in way that makes it technically impossible to upgrade certain parts. But why non-retina MBP?
    What do you all think? is this reasonable? is this what a MBP customer would expect?
    Really appreaciate the quick responses i have recieved from you and others on this forum.
    Many thanks
