How do I find and restore my old profile using Mozilla 3.6.13 after uninstalling Mozilla 4.0 Beta 9?

I had Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13 installed and decided to upgrade to the Beta version 4.0 Beta 9. I had problems with this version where it keeps crashing often and decided to uninstall it.
The previous version (3.6.13) was restored by default without my Bookmarks. All of my Bookmarks are missing. I am so lost without it. I did not make a backup of my Bookmarks.

The box asking about removing personal data is an option that would be selected during the uninstall process, it wouldn't appear during startup.
Check your Profile folder to see how many Profiles you might have, and what the dates are for those Profile folders. Report that information in this thread.

After updating my IPhone4 to IOS-5, I lost my notes. How can I find my notes and restore them ?

I am sorry to hear about your lost notes...I understand how you might feel... I did recover mine yesterday..I did two step confirmation password on Gmail then created a "special" password under the mail settings on Gmail that I typed on the iphone Gmail slot for the password and my account was cleared and with that came the notes...however i did check the notes on gmail website earlier than doing this steps and none were there..not a clue why they show up after the new password was set in... mysteries unsolved... Thank you for your reply.

How do I find and access files backed up using a time capsule on a different mac?

I have been backing up files from two macs to a time capsule. I had a problem with the time capsule and took it to an authorized facility for repair. When I got it home and reconnected to it, the time capsule seemed to start over as though it was the first time it was ever hooked-up. The repair facility says my old files are still there. My question is, how do I find the original backup files and reconnect them to my macs?

On one of your Macs.....try a right-click on the Time Machine icon on the dock and then select Browsel Other Time Machine Disks to see if you can locate your backups there.
If you find them, you will be able to restore files from the disk as needed. The same would be true of your other Mac.
If Time Machine started all over with a new backup of each computer....as I suspect is the case based on the info in your post.....you will not be able to combine the old backups with the new backups.
To switch back to your new backups, click the Time Machine clock icon at the top of the screen and select Time Machine Preferences. Click Select Disk and click to highlight your Time Capsule disk. Then click Use for Backup.

Upgrade to 3.6.8 deleted my History on close. Have undeleted yesterdays files, can i find and restore history to profile folder?

Apparently the "clear recent history on close" option was enabled on the 3.6.8 upgrade. Didn't see that coming.
I've undeleted yesterday's deleted files and saved them to a separate drive.
Can I copy or restore the "recovered" history file back into my profile folder?
If so, can you tell me the ''file name(s)'' that contains browsing history?

If you updated from Firefox 2.0.0.20 then you need history.dat. 
That file was used in Firefox 2. to store the history, Firefox 3 uses places.sqlite. 
If you have used Firefox 3 versions in the past then may already have had a file places.sqlite in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and in that case you need to delete places.sqlite to make Firefox import the history from history.dat and the bookmarks from bookmarks.html.

My iPhoto library just reverted to an old library: How can I find, and re-access my current library?

My iPhoto library just reverted to an old library: how can I find and re-access my current library? I opened my iPhoto, and got the message that it needed to "update" to use this library. I thought maybe there had been a software update since I last opened the program (2 days ago). The library it opened was saved in a file on the desk-top. My current file was just in iPhoto. Please help!

Best option: Restore from your back up.
Otherwise:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I used time machine to restore on a formatted MAC. Now the HDD space has reduced by 100GB but I cannot see any of the files. How do I find and delete those 100GB data from the HDD?

I created a new user account just to see if it was my user Library or if there was something wrong with my system. And the new user account is doing most of the same things so I will need to do a full restore anyway.
Not necessarily. I'd suggest downloading and installing the "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

Inside mail, how do you find and delete old useless messages

inside mail, how do you find and delete old useless messages, there are thousands of them.

go thru all your mail boxes, and delete, all your synced boxes, highlight the stuff you want to trash, click delete.
Go thru all the boxes and do the delete, then go to your server trash, and delete.
You canthen go to on my mac and do the same thing.
This is way different than 10.6.8, and I'm sure there is a much better way to do this, but at least it will get rid of some junk.
Sorry this all I can offer.
I'm sure someone who has been working with OS can offer a much better path.

Can anyone tell me how to find and restore previously purchased OS updates to my iMac?

Can anyone tell me how to find and restore previously purchased OS updates to my iMac?

Please go to the Apple (upper left corner) and click on About this Mac. In the resulting window, click on the numbers underneath until they display the OS version.
Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion are all OS X - they are 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 respectively. After you get the OS version, click until you get the "Build" number and post that as well.
If your Mac is from 2010, it most likely came with Snow Leopard. If you purchased Lion, then you should be able to see it under your Purchases in the App Store (not iTunes). But, first, we need to figure out what was installed on your machine after the hard drive replacement.
Not sure about iPhoto at this point - may have to do with whaever OS version is installed. Check in Applications folder in column view and post back which version of iPhoto you have installed.

How do I find and delete old plugins

Since my leopard days I have been migrating data over as I updraded to the new OSX 10.9. When I start to open apps. Pro tools, Logic x, and otehr DAWs, there are some plug ins that are not compatable. Rather than leave a bug, and taking more time to launch my apps, how can I find and delete some of the plug ins that are 32 bit that don't work with 64 bot applications.
Just house cleaning. Thanks.

Under the file tab in iTunes, select Display Duplicates. From there you can delete them as well.

I am a 66 year old novice. How can I find and print all the functions of the cmd key, please.

All of my extensions, and add-ons were deleted overnight. I can't find an old firefox data folder to restore my old profile

Firefox deleted all of my extensions and add-ons overnight. None of the fixes I've found work, I need help restoring my old profile

<blockquote>
Did you only lose the extension or did you lose other personal data and settings as well?
You would normally only lose the extensions if you create a new profile folder, either via a reset/refresh or possibly because of problems with the profiles.ini file.
With a reset you would have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop.

I only lost the extensions. I left the PC on to do a steam download overnight. When I woke up and opened up the browser it was in base mode. All of my tabs, saved data were present. I looked for the Old Firefox Data folder then, but it isn't there.

I changed my ISP but every time I go to enter my e-mail address on a website, my old ISP comes up first. How can I find and eliminate those instances?

My old e-mail address must be stored in Firefox cache. Where do I find and remove that old address?

I restored the phone so had no apps on it at all and there was still this certain amount of space used up by documents ! I've already had it in to the apple store and they didn't seem to have a clue either ! Ugh ! Wouldn't mind so much if the phone was free with a contract but I actually spent 450 quid buying this phone and it's always full of "nothing" so virtually unusable

How do I find and download my pictures and movies that were saved in icloud and itunes library?

How do I find and download my pictures that were saved to itunes and icloud in my itunes match? I think that I lost my pictures and I really do need them.

Your pictures are not saved in iTunes Match; that is a music service. If you restore your device from a backup saved in iCloud, you will get pictures back, but any pictures taken since the backup will be lost, so you will want to import those to your computer first.
