How to restore lost favorites list and lost desktop icons

see below

As well as having had this problem a couple of times on different machines, both immediately after upgrades, I also use the synch capability so that tab groups from more than one machine can be accessed from any of the others - a really useful capability. It's really frustrating to have lost everything and have to try to recreate things from history. It occurs to me that the contents of my sets of groups are stored on a synch server somewhere so they ought to be recoverable from the hopefully, periodic automatic server backups - only problem is, how to access them? unlikely to be possible at this stage!
In this context, a useful enhancement would be a capability to make user-created named backups of all current groups of tabs which could later be restored at will; any upgrade process should also automatically create such a backup for the user so that the problem of lost groups of tabs would be solved. In addition it would give users additional flexibility to create groups of groups - accessed by the save/restore mechanism - say for development, personal or social or whatever.

  • I just restored my iphone 3gs and lost 1 month of photos and phone calls

    Help! I just restored my iphone 3gs and lost 1 month of work photos and contacts.  Please help me get them back!

    How old was the backup? If you restored from a one-month-old backup, then yes, one month's data would be missing and cannot be restored unless you have a newer backup.

    If the photos were not backed up with a recent backup, there is NO way to retrieve them.

  • My iphone4 lost the camera and app store icon.

    1. my iphone4 lost the camera and app store icon. how can i get it back?
    2. i try to restore the phone through the itunes. but it showed that there is a connection error (with the internet?!!)

    i found this from the site:
    Exchange 2007 has active sync policies. One of the options is to disallow the camera.
    To resolve the problem do the following.
    1) Open Exchange Management Console
    2) Click "Organization Configuration"
    3) Click "Client Access"
    4) On the right you should see your active sync policies. Right click the policy and chose "Properties"
    5) Click the "Device" tab
    6) Check "Allow camera"
    but what is Exchange 2007? i think i am not using it...

  • Can someone tell me how to restore my App Store and iTunes Apps on my iPad 2?

    Can someone tell me how to restore my App Store and iTunes Apps on my ipad 2?

    If you had a backup either in iTunes or iCloud of the iPad you can restore from it by following this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If not you can go into the Purchased section of the App Store App, and download your Purchased Apps from there for free. However their data will not be restored.

  • Can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

    can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

    That .itl file actually is the library -- at least the critical part of it although the library is actually many files and folders.
    Try starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.  When it asks, guide it to the .itl file.
    It's really hard to say without being able to poke around your computer.  Upgrading should not delete the old library, but still it happens to the very, very few which is why we make backups before updating.  If the old library file is gone then so are your playlists.  You can always see if the following is of any use:

  • Lost favorites list, other problems too

    Since the latest update I've had a string of problems. The latest is that I've lost all entries on my favorites list -- poof! A couple of days ago, I lost all sound except in speaker mode. My phone would ring (okay, sound there too), I'd answer and I couldn't hear the person talking and they couldn't hear me. After restarting, resetting, I restored and waiting ages to resync. That restored my sound, but my phone startng asking for a password for voicemail. never did that before and I never set one up. Now the vanishing favorites. Are these things related? Is this a glitchy update? I really don't want to restore and resync every day.

    Actually, correct that: I still don't have sound from my speaker. When I adjust the volume it says "(headphones)". So for some reason it thinks my headphones are plugged in when they're not. This after restoring!

    Hi, Last time I synced my IPad with my PC, it (unknown to me) migrated all my PC "Favorites" (about 100 folders) to the ICloud.
    I have searched and so far been unable to find out how to recover my "Favorites" from the ICloud back to my PC. Any advice would
    be appreciated. Thank you.

    What did you do to get them synced to the Cloud.  Would that procedure help me get my favorites synced to my iPad2?
