How do I restore previous bookmarks, highlights, and notes?

I closed my session using digital editions and when I reopened it, all of my notes, highlights, and bookmarks disappeared from the text book I was reading. So many hours of work unaccounted for... how do I get it all back?! On a mac.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up     
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Will bookmarks, highlights and notes disappear after "personal" editing?

    I have to read many .epub classical books (almost all public domain) on iBook. Those books are not necessarily from iBookStore. I make highlights, notes, etc.
    My situation is that the formats/styles and typos of those classical .epub make me extremely uncomfortable.
    So I am planning to edit those errors whenever I find them on my Mac.
    Here is the workflow:
    Read on iBook ——> highlights ——> see errors ——> export .epub to editing tools on Mac ——> edit ——> export to iBook ——> read
    My only question is will all my bookmarks, highlights and notes disappear when I edit the epub?
    Does anyone know where/how iBook records/store the highlights and bookmarks? In .plist or something else? Since If I know where all my annotations are, I couse easily preserve them when I am editing the epub.
    This is a very very big problem of mine. Please help me.

    Connect iPad with iTunes Mac and copy the book to Mac. Then import it into Sigil (an open-source epub editor) http://code.google.com/p/sigil/.
    In Sigil, edit whatever part I need. Then export to iTunes again and sync with iPad connected.
    After this, the book no longer belong to the iCloud, but treated as ordinary epub imported into iPad.

  • HT5477 Highlights are wiped out in IOS 8. How do we restore previous version IOS 7

    WWith IOS 8 my highlights and notes in pubs are lost, highlights take over the whole document and you cannot take a step back without wiping out all previous highlights and notes with it. Never had this issue with IOS 7.
    CAn't get any help from Apple.

    I guess I've personally never needed to know when I updated an app or to have a list of apps I've updated.  Wouldn't this be a problem in the future when you have years of updates to scroll through?  It just seems like that would unnecessarily increase the load time of the Updates tab.  It would still be nice to have an option to turn that off or at least make it a collapsible menu item or something. 
    I could see where it might come in handy if you have the automatic app updates turned on, but I have that turned off since I like to see what changes an app is making before I install it, so I don't need that turned on since I manually update my apps. 

  • How to restore previous Bookmarks.

    Uninstalled Firefox by mistake; I have re-installed Firefox, uninstalled in error. Can I restore previous Bookmarks, etc.?

    Android applications store user data with the application. If you uninstalled it then your bookmarks are gone. Android controls the uninstall process. Mozilla is unable to warn the user that uninstalling will delete your bookmarks.

  • HT2477 HOW DO I RESTORE MY BOOKMARKS FROM TIME MACHINE

    I just got a new hard drive put into my macbook pro....im lost with this whole time machine thing. how do i restore my bookmarks and playlists?

    Do you only want to restore your bookmarks and playlists?
    Or, do you want to restore your entire user? When you installed and ran startup, it should have asked if you want to restore from a Time Machine backup. That would have been the simple way.
    The bookmarks are stored in your Library/Safari folder. In Finder, hold down the option key while selecting Library from the Go menu.
    Enter Time Machine.
    Navigate to the Safari folder and restore the bookmarks.plist file
    Then, navigate to your home folder, Music and restore the iTunes folder.
    You only mention playlists and not the actual music. If you've already imported your music, I'm not sure if restoring the playlists will actually work as they are indexed on the music files. If your music is stored someplace other than your iTunes folder, restoring the iTunes folder may work. You may also need to restore the com.apple.itunes.plist which is in your Library/Preferences.

  • Bookmarks have disappeared on two machine unable to restore from backup folder in Firefox. How can I restore my bookmarks?

    All my bookmarks have disappeared on two machines. I tried used the restore function it did not work, and I tried to updated my Plugins and for some reason Firefox would not register the updates . How can I restore my bookmarks?

    Immediately backup the profiles on both machines. Keep the profile backup files and folders somewhere safe outside the Firefox program and profile paths. The Windows Desktop would be a suitable location.
    * see [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * also note the information on bookmarks [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    Do you use Firefox sync ?
    *[[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]
    that is not itself a backup, but you may consider the synced second device to be a backup
    Restored bookmarks overwrite the existing bookmarks. You may still have some left, but unfortunately you could have overwritten most or all of them with corrupt copies. If you backup the profile at least you have access to copies of whatever automatic backups were made. Note in future that it is good practice to periodically make backups.
    Post back again once you have backed up the profiles, and read the linked articles.

  • How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?

    How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?  I did something wrong as now nothing is on my phone but several questions such as language, etc. They keep repeating.  When I turn phone completely off, the same thing happens when I turn it on.  It is very frustrating now to have no phone service or anything at all on my phone.

    It sounds as if the phone is waiting to be activated. Did you update software or something like that on the phone? You can either try to finish the Setup routine, or you can connect the device to iTunes on the computer and then after selecting the iPhone in the device pane, click on the button that says Restore a Backup.

  • How do I restore previous versions of a file?

    How do I restore previous versions of a file?
    please I really need your help

    If you've overwritten the previous version of the file, you're probably out of luck. Some applications, like MS Word, create a temporary copy of the file, but they usually delete it once changes are saved to the original file.
    You can use version control software such as CVS, SubVersion or ClearCase to keep track of changes to files. You could also store previous versions with some kind of backup scheme, with such tools as Apple's Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper or Retrospect.
    OS 10.5 Leopard will include a sort of built-in versioning tool called Time Machine, as well as (reportedly) come with SubVersion pre-installed (OS X currently comes with RCS and CVS).
    You might try data recovery software such as DataRescue to see if it has the ability to recover your file.

  • How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use  time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

    How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use  time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

    So what is your question?
    If you forgot your encryption password:
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
