I lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?

Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

My iTunes Match automatically charged me for a second year when the first year finished. In spite of that, I have lost all of my playlists on my iPhone. How can I get them back?

Hi,
No need to post three times!
Is iTunes Match still turned on on your iPhone? If not, you need to turn it back on.
If it is still on, go to settings, music app and turn off match- sign out of iTunes Store. Reboot iPhone, sign back into iTunes and turn on match. Poem music app. Does this help?

My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade. How can I get them back in order?

If its not possible, how do I go back to the old os?

I had tried that several times with no luck. Late last night I was finally able to get through to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support. It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix. So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position. Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles. My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars. Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information. Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

The error message says it cannot find the file but it exists as it was transferred to my ipod.
Thanks.

Ack! We don't need that much.
What you posted looks like the iTunes Library.xml file I will let you read about how iTunes works but not only is the .xml not your main library it is just the listing of tracks in your library and where the music files should be located. Your music is actually in media files (by the way, it is pointless to zip those as they are already compressed). Anyway, read these and you will see that your true library file (iTunes Library.itl) is only a small, but still important, part of a complete library.
What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660

As you can see, a library has several components, so "getting it back" depends upon what is missing, what it was you actually backed up in the end, if any of this music was purchased from the iTunes Store, etc.

I recently turned off iCloud photo sharing and lost all the photos off my iPhone 4S. How can I get them back onto my phone?

I recently turned off iCloud photo sharing and lost all the photos off my iPhone 4S. How can I get them back onto my phone?

IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Imported imovie lost sound after I recorded in garageband. How can I get it back?

I imported a movie from iMovie into Garageband. Some of this movie had recorded sound that I wanted to keep. I also wanted to record narration which is why I imported to garageband. After recording the narration of the movie in garageband, all of the original sound in the movie after that point has been lost. Not the stuff before the garageband recording, just after.
How can I get this back?

Thank You for the response Christoph. I'm pretty sure the first possibility is what happened, recorded on the same track as the movie audio. I initially tried moving the audio I recorded in garageband down to the "male basic" track to separate it from the movie audio but that did not work.
I am unsure how to implement your suggestion. How do I extend the region with the movie's audio to the right? I scrolled all the way to the right and did not see any audio original to the move. Can you be more specific?
I appreciate your help. Thank You.

Upgrading to Mavericks seems to have lost my windows 7 dual boot up capability. How can I get it back?

After having installed with Bootcamp windows 7 a couple years ago, upgrading to mavericks seems to have lost that capability despite windows being installed in its own partition. How can I get this back?

This was the scenario:
The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
Now I got back everything except for my photos.
(Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
Thank you.

I reinstalled Firefox and lost bookmarks from my computer, how can I get them back (sync ?)from my android phone ?

My bookmarks are really gone from my computer but I have them in my android phone.
I've tried to use this sync but it doesn't work. How can I get them back to the computer from my android phone ?
I have checked also backup files but they are really gone.

Hi penami,
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you lost your bookmarks. In order to check if they are still there you can look in the profile folder on the computer [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
As for syncing from the android, it is possible to add the account to the desktop and the two should merge.

HT201272 have lost contacts, facetime, utiities on my new iphone4s. How do I get them back?

I have lost contacts, facetime and utilites on my new iphone 4s. How do I get them back on?

Were all of the Firefox files copied to the new system?
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
'''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
Enter the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. This is where Firefox makes backups
of your bookmarks. Look for the '''jsonlz4''' file you want to restore
(check the time / date / size). Right click on that file and select '''Copy.'''
Now go back to the profile folder where you started. Rename the file
'''places.sqlite''' by adding '''.old''' to it. Now right click in the folder
and select '''Paste.''' The file you just pasted here, rename it to
'''places.sqlite.''' After you are done, restart Firefox.

On my email page, I've lost the 3-line menu icon in upper right -- how can I get it back?

I inadvertently lost the little 3-line menu icon in the upper right corner of my email page. What can I do to get it back? I've tried pressing Alt and also Ctrl+Alt, as some instructions suggest, and nothing happens.

You probably have disabled the Mail Toolbar. Press F10 and choose View -> Toolbars and check Mail Toolbar.

HT203167 im missing a lot of music where did it go? and how can i get it back

im missing a lot of music where did it go and how do i bring it back on my library

No way for anyone here to know where it went, as you have provided no info about your issue.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

Album artwork disappeared after an iTunes error... how can I get I back?

I've been using iTunes for years and out of a clear blue sky I get this error message, "iPhone cannot be synced because the sync session failed to start." After trying a few different things I find a fix that works- turn my iPhone all the way off and then turn it back on. Then when I added a new mp3 song to my iTunes Library and tried to sync it to my phone, the album artwork refused to show up on my phone even though it shows in iTunes. Nothing I did to fix it worked. I tried to add another mp3 song. Same problem. Then as I tried the various 'fixes' I read about here in Apple Support Communities, it made my problem worse! At first only the two new mp3 songs I added were missing album artwork. Now half of the songs I purchased from iTunes are missing album artwork! To add to that, many of the songs that have album artwork at all have the wrong artwork.
Stuff that didn't work:
Erasing all the music on my phone and resyncing made it worse
My manually added album artwork is already ID3 tagged v2.4
I have never checked the box that converts higher bitrate songs
Manually adding artwork and using iTunes' "get album artwork" feature
Restoring iPhone from a backup
I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.8.
I have iOS 6.1.4 on my iPhone 5 and I have not updated anything for the past two months.
PLEASE HELP.

You dont have this:
Check your iTunes > Preferences... (or in Windows iTunes: Edit > Preferences...) > General tab > is Books checked?
