How do I retore a deleted bookmark folder? I have tried several things to no avail, but hve not turned the computer off.

I was trying to delete a file but must have had the folder highlighted instead and deleted it instead.
Please help.

Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
#Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
#*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
#*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
# At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
# Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
# In the new window that appears, click OK.
# Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.

  • I cannot get my preferred images to remain on the desktop.  Through preferences I choose an image and it disappears each time I turn the computer off: why?  And how can I stop this?

    When I go to 'desktop' in system preferences and choose an image for the desktop, it disappears when I turn the computer off.  Why is this?  And how can I get an image to remain until I choose to change it?  It acts this way whether I click 'change' or not.

    If you log in automatically, a known bug will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image of a galaxy at every startup. The only workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
    If the desktop picture always reverts to a plain blue background, one of your login items may be causing the problem. The "Team Viewer" application has this effect, as reported by ASC user Zimmerwald. If it's not that in your case, rule out all other third-party login items as possible causes.
    According to one report, a "stuck" desktop picture setting can be fixed by changing the setting and then immediately rebooting. I can't confirm, but there's no harm in trying it.
    If none of the above applies to you, proceed as follows.
    In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following item to the Desktop:
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

    How do I open RAW images from DSC_RX100M3?  I downloaded Adobe DNG converter 8.4, but could not convert the images?

    Small correction to what SSprengel wrote...
    The RX100M3 is supported only by version 8.5.  It sounds like you need a newer version.

    Hi - how do  I download items already purchased?  I have tried store and search for available downloads but it tells me they are already downloaded - they are not however - fyi I lost my phone so I am using a new phone with the same apple id and assumed I could just re-access my previously purcahsed items - how do I find them to download?
    Many thanks

    many thanks for a really fast response - Yes I have seen on other postings since you only get one hit and you are right I should have backed up and didn't as I am a bit of a novice and naive (but learning fast now).  Have used your suggestion and accessed and downloaded some historical apps.
    many thanks - I will ensure I back up regularly going forward. 
    Thanks again

  • I have 2 iphoto libraries. How can I delete one? I have tried to put one in trash but it deletes both. Help

    I was transfering photos from an external hard disk. While doing this somehow or another I created another library. I have an additional icon on my desktop. I tried to put it in the trash but then it deletes iphoto from the computer. I just would like to get rid of the icon without deleting iphoto.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you've copied your iPhoto library to an external disk, it's normal that it appears. Anyway, open iPhoto holding Option key and look at the library you want to delete. At the bottom of the window, you must see the directory where it's, so just go here and delete your library

    Hello,
    Ideally you need to boot from the disk as you have no other media advisable. (e.g your hard drive)
    Without some form of system disk or restore you wont be able to diagnose the problem with your hard drive.
    By using a Mac OS X system disk you can load up the Disk Utilities and repair the hard drive if shown it's available. If it's not available you would need to replace the hard drive and reinstall Mac OS. Without any disk to support you, you are going to struggle.
    You can obtain replacement disk, both retail copies or system disk on the Internet.
    If you know what version of Mac OS X you had install (I'm guessing that it would have been 10.3, but would recommend 10.4) A retail disk is normally black with a colored 'X' on it, while system disk are always.
    Always try and obtain a copy of the system restore disks (Gray) for your iBook
    Ebay is another outlet that has genuine system disk for sell, but like any auction site, it's as and when someone is selling them.
    The only other thing you could do is take it to a Apple repair agent who could check the hard drive on your behalf. That way you can get confirmation if the problem is the drive or some other fault. They may even help restore the OS for you.
    I can't think of anything else to try without some form of disk to help you.
    There maybe just one other small thing you could try.
    When booting up, firmly rest your palm of your hand on the iBook next to the tracker pad on the left side.
    If it works then it's another fault that I'm aware of.

  • MyStart-by Incredibar - How do I get rid of it. I have tried resetting Firefox in all ways ad infinitum, and all the other suggestions I can find. I

    For the past few months I have been trying to get rid of MyStart by Incredibar. I have reset my computer to Firefox default, I have restarted Firefox with and without addons, I have searched with windows explorer and found and removed anything with incredibar and mystart and even file extensions. I am not particularly adept at understanding all the programming that constitutes the set up of my computer but with a step by step guide I can probably clean my machine. Please will someone help me just get rid of it.

    In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
    #From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
    #Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
    #You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
    #To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
    #Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
    You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
    [[Disable or remove Add-ons]]

  • How can I find a lost bookmark folder in another bookmark folder? I had a sticky mouse when I moved it.

    How can I find a lost bookmark folder? A folder stuck on my mouse pointer I shook the mouse and it released the folder somewhere in the hundreds of other bookmark folders. I don't want to have to open every folder and search every file to locate it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Renaldo,
    You might try restoring a backup of your bookmarks.
    1. From the menu at the top of the Firefox window bar, click the Bookmarks menu and choose Organize Bookmarks to open the Library window.
    2. Before proceeding, you should make a backup of your current bookmarks.
    1. From the toolbar on the Library window, select Import and Backup and choose Backup.
    2. Firefox will ask you to save the bookmark backup to a folder on your hard drive. Choose a location that you will remember.
    3. Your current bookmarks have been backed up to the file you selected.
    3. From the toolbar on the Library window, select Import and Backup to open the Import and Backup menu, and pick Restore to see a list of available bookmark backups organized by date.
    4. To restore one of the listed backups, select it from the Restore menu. Choose the newest bookmark backup that was created before the bookmarks were lost. You will lose all changes to your bookmarks that occurred after the date you select.
    '''NOTE:''' To restore a backup that you saved manually, select Choose File from the Restore menu instead of selecting an automatic backup
    5. A confirmation window will appear asking you to confirm replacing your bookmarks with the backup. To replace the bookmarks, press OK. To go back, press Cancel.
    '''NOTE:''' You cannot undo this unless you saved a backup file as instructed above.
    6. Your bookmarks have been restored to the date you selected. If your bookmarks do not show up after completing the restore process, repeat the above steps to restore an earlier backup.
    If the backup follows the bookmark structure then the missing folder should be displayed
