How or from where can I recover my bookmarks from a bugged computer where Firefox no longer works?
My computer acquired some kind of virus or other malware and after various stops and starts Firefox does not start when I run the .exe and IE crashes on start. Regardless, I've decided to reformat, but want to salvage my bookmarks from Firefox. I cannot get into Firefox to save my bookmarks for export-- what do I need to do or what files do I need to copy in order to be able to access my bookmarks after the reformat?
The first method returns an error.
The second method: there only seems to be one profile in appdata, and this is with everything unhidden. I can see some larger files, with a date and time which I last used when my browser/computer were in working order. One of these is an places.sqlite, size is around 82,000KB, a webappsstore.sqlite which is around 35,000KB. I opened the first one with wordpad and even though it's mostly nonsense, some of the text does make itself out to be sites I would have previously visited. Which corresponds to which and how do I import them? Also, if this is an new profile, why do I have old information in it?
For the third, I'm pretty sure there is nothing of the kind. Part of the problem, however, is that when I switched on my computer and the browser was wiped, many of the shortcuts were missing, despite being assigned to desktop if I went looking for their location.

How can i recover my bookmarks and saved passwords?
i have accidentally uninstalled Firefox software. how can i recover my bookmarks and saved passwords for the various sites. Please help on this regard. I'm in a serious trouble now.
If you have removed your personal data when uninstalling Firefox then the Firefox profile folder that store your Firefox personal data has been removed.
If you do not have a backup of the files in this folder then your only option is to try to recover this data with an undelete utility like Recuva.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

My Ipod Classic died because it ran out of battery. Finally, today when I was able to plug it into my computer to
charge it, all my music was gone. It did not show up on the Itunes nor was it present on my Ipod. Which freaked
me out. I dont know what to do because I do have Itunes but all the music I had on my Ipod was from my
first computer, which I no longer have because it was stolen. However, on my Itunes it says my Ipod
has 14.27 GB used and 13.55 FREE. So I just want to know how to get my music back on to my Ipod
and that it shows up in Itunes again. I have a Windows Vista so if anyone knows instructions it would
be greatly appreciated!See earlier post by tt2

My I-Phone has music on it that was synced from an I-Tunes library from a previous computer (which is no longer in use) AND purchases from the I-Tunes store. I would now like to transfer ALL of that music (not just the purchases from the I-Tunes store) into the I-Tunes library that I've established on a new computer.
Can that be done, and how (I've attempted without any success)?
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!!Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.

How come I keep getting this message when I turn on my computer: 'photo stream has stopped working.' My pictures aren't being saved from my iphone to my computer. I have wifi enabled on my iphone. Thanks for your help.
Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

How can I recover my bookmarks, history, profile?
This is very frustrating.
I abuse my Firefox, it's true. I run upwards of 30 tabs on a regular basis and save most pages to my bookmarks.
What recently happened, is that upon starting my computer, my Firefox had no profile, no bookmarks and no history or download history - like it was an new install or something. I have so much important information stored up over years, so it's important that I retrieve my old bookmarks.
I usually just restore old sessions, so the last time I had used it, I just closed normally with an open session of 20+ tabs. I think for the first time, I had also sent in a crash log on that day. I had also installed a week prior to this screw up, an add on which allowed me to duplicate tabs. Of course, it isn't attached to the browser anymore.
Please help.The first method returns an error.
The second method: there only seems to be one profile in appdata, and this is with everything unhidden. I can see some larger files, with a date and time which I last used when my browser/computer were in working order. One of these is an places.sqlite, size is around 82,000KB, a webappsstore.sqlite which is around 35,000KB.

How Can I Recover Deleted Bookmarks?

AngelandyBall_uk, thank you very much for your prompt answer to my issue. Unfortunately, the bookmarks are gone.

CAN I RECOVER my bookmarks after a fresh install of F/F?
I had to re-install F/F and lost all my bookmarks. I've looked up various posts and located the recovery files only for five or six recovery dates of about 2kb each, whereas there should be at least a few dozen bookmark files of much greater size.
So, I want to try recovering my bookmarks from a system backup and my question is: Has anyone done this who can advise me?
Regards,
mgbThose missing from OneDrive cannot have been uploaded, if there is an error uploading or if uploading times out (which may happen in lengthy periods of not having wifi access), in which case the upload would have been sat in the gallery waiting to be manually restarted.
If the two-fingered reset that you already tried did not help, then regrettably any unsaved data on the phone will be lost, including the photos, would be lost. If the phone does not boot up correctly, there is no way to access its file structure. Any other solutions to get the phone working again (for example: using the Software Recovery Tool or taking the phone for repair) are going to wipe the memorry clean.

Where can i find the bookmark icon in my computer

You want to move bookmarks from Firefox on computer #1 to Firefox on computer #2?
You have two options: Backup/Restore and Export/Import. The difference is that a "restore" completely replaces whatever appears on the destination system. An "import" adds to whatever is on the destination system, and then you have to reorganize the bookmarks into the proper places.
Here are the support articles with the steps for how to create a backup or export file and then how to restore or import it:
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
Make sense? -
That's it. I need my bookmarks. But that computer is never going to connect to the internet again. Remember when we didn't assume interconnectivity of every damn thing? This is how the cyclons are going to win.
Any help out there?Assuming that old PC still boots up, see this: <br />
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
If it won't boot up, you might be able to install the old hard drive into a USB hard drive enclosure and connect the old drive as an external drive.
