I'm a bit of a technophobe so any help gratefully received thanks

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put eveything back.

Old computer broke down, didn´t synchronize the latest bookmarks

A few days ago my old computer broke down and I am currently using a spare computer for the time being. I used Firefox sync on my old computer and on the spare one before the old one crashed. Still the latest bookmarks from my old computer are now missing on the spare computer (it´s actually 4 or 5 months of bookmarks... so quite a lot is missing). I can´t access any data on my old computer so I tried to reinstall firefox and reconnect to the sync server but the latest bookmarks are still missing.
Is there any way to get the lost bookmarks back?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello,
Sorry to hear about the computer breaking down. Are you able to access the hard-drive of the old computer? Was it a Windows machine? If so, you can locate the bookmarks on the hard-drive of the machine, by following the below mentioned instructions.
# Locate the profile folder of Firefox on the old hard-drive by following these instructions [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|Location of profile data]]
# In the bookmarkbackups directory, copy the bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD.json to your new machine on a different directory
# Restore the bookmarks by following the instructions in this article [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer|Restore backups]]
# This link from SUMO might also be helpful for you [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/961452 Copy and restore bookmarks]
If the hard-drive is not accessible, then it will be difficult to access the bookmarks, if the synch was not enabled. Do you remember when the last synch happened?
Hope this helps.

RAW JPEG PROBLEM I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture. What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

I can call my ipad with my iphone alll the time. That's how I check up on my kids at home when I"m at work. You just set up to your iphone's facetime setting with your phone number and set up your ipad's facetime settings with your apple id (in this case it's your email)

I asked a question about organizing bookmarks in my toolbar bookmark. I'm not happy with the "help" I got. I'm very frustrated. I need to talk to a technician. How can I get in touch with one? Do you have contact information?

Can't find out how to organize my bookmarks. can't do it after updating. Person tried to help, we had long conversations, I sent lots of images, it got to where I think the answer given were not related to the problem. I asked for help from a technician or to give my emails to one. She won't do it and I can't get help. So I'm starting over. It shouldn't be this hard. I need someone else to help me.

re: How do I organize and delete bookmarks in my short toolbar list.
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884877
You say you have a lot of duplicate bookmarks, and want to know how to organize bookmarks, but from the pictures shown, I really only see a news subscription, some sample bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar that you don't display on the toolbars so I don't see point in deleting anything there most of it are reports from the database or from a news subscription nothing of much concern, really. I would dump the news subscription if you don't use it.
How do you want to arrange your bookmarks, but you must keep within some boundaries of what was expected of the three major folders.
Bookmarks Menu -- this is your folder categorized bookmarks, originally all bookmarks were in this folder and the bookmarks toolbar was one folder within -- that has changed.
Bookmarks Toolbar -- intended to be visible on the toolbar with main bookmarks and folders spread out horizontally to save one level of drilling down into folders, with very few bookmarks and folders visible on the toolbar but quickly accessed. You can use the bookmarks showing essentially as buttons a few primary bookmarklets. You can have folder structure there so you could actually have thousands of bookmarks there within folders.
Unsorted Bookmarks (no folders within by intent not by restriction) -- new concept to not categorize bookmarks into folders because of bookmark tagging. Delicious.com will show you what they intended where you have lots of people. I think the concept of tagging breaks down with one person. The other reason bookmarks no longer had to be put into folders was the "AwesomeBar" feature of Firefox that is a great feature it will find bookmarks whatever folder they are in -- I hope you are familiar with it. You can throw bookmark separators into any folder but they are especially useful in the unsorted bookmarks folder, especially if you sort the folder. In other words a group probably within a date range.
So how do you see yourself categorizing your bookmarks ?
I'd like to get an idea of '''how many bookmarks '''you have altogether and how big your places.sqlite file is. To find out how many bookmarks you have all together bring up the Bookmarks Library list, place a colon (":") into the search field this will do a find on all of your bookmarks. At the bottom of the library window you will see the total number of bookmarks you may have to nudge the vertical scrollbar down, and as long as no bookmarks are selected you will see an '''item count'''.
Open your profile folder Help > Troubleshooting information... then click on "Open containing folder" then looking in bookmarkbackups folder and report size of last .json file in there -- hope you can see the extension the filenames have dates.
From the library list you can see if you actually do have a lot or any duplicated by eyeballing the list sorted by the location. You don't want to delete anything yet until you know what you want to do and what folders the bookmarks actually in, as you would not want to delete a categorized bookmark for an uncategorized one.
I have 1256 bookmarks, a bookmarks backup file (.json) is 1849 KB.
I have 750 of those bookmarks have a keyword shortcut -- most of my bookmarks may not actually be bookmarks to webpages.
Install the "Show Parent Folder" extension, it would be important for manually categorizing and deleting bookmarks.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/show-parent-folder/
At some point you will want to install the "Sort Places" extension that allows you to sort folders recursively in a matter of seconds. Only sort when you want to sort, never automatically.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sortplaces/
Other extensions of interest for working with bookmarks are included in
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox
The columns in the bookmarks library list that I show are
:Name, Location, Parent Folder, visit date, visit count, Keyword, Description, Last Modified
The important columns for eliminating duplicates are
:Name, Location, Parent Folder, Keyword, Description
:if you have Tags then that column would also be important not to delete the bookmark
Sort on Location look for duplicates, expect you won't find as many as you thought you would, because Firefox makes it difficult to create duplicates if you use the bookmarks star. I wouldn't delete any until you really know what you want to do, if you have duplicate you would not want to delete one a primary location based on parent directory or the one you use with a keyword.
I don't really think you have much to delete in your toolbars list, they are basically examples. Would highly recommend you keep something in the bookmarks toolbar even though you are not displaying it.
The only case of having major duplicates are if you have imported bookmarks at the bottom of your bookmarks menu also named bookmarks menu or something similar. You would see that in the parent folder column -- you cannot sort on the parent folder column.

When a link is rolled over by the mouse pointer a very annoying pop up with the link address shows up. There seems to be no way to prevent this from happening. How can this pop up be made to go away?

no matter what website, every time I move the mouse pointer over something to click on a line of black printing in a thin white box pops up at the bottom of the screen and shows me the http address of the item I'm about to click on. I want to shut this function off or remove it if possible. I find that the previous version did not do this, it seems to be unique to 6.0. It's VERY distracting and ANNOYING. How can I make it go away????

When you hover the mouse cursor over any link, it will display the link details at the bottom left of the screen; black font on white background.
This display can be very important as it shows the full address of the hyperlink. This can be particulary useful for checking on whether the link is bona-fida. For example; if you receive an email that looks like it is from a bank , hovering over the link will indicate instantly that the link is pretending to be something it isn't.
Another example that can be useful; a website link may say 'contact me' rather than give the actual email address. However, when you hover over the link, the actual email address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the link then Outlook usually opens, however I do not use Outlook, so displaying the email address is useful.
This display is something that has always been present and it is also displayed if you use IE.
However, I can see that this annoys you, so you could try the following:
[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-location-bar/?src=api]]
After installing the addon, you will need to restart Firefox, then go to History and Restore previous session to get all your tabs and webpages back.
You will now find that when you hover over any link, it will now display in your address bar on the right hand side.
If this helps, please say this question has been solved.

I have 2 different libraries and would like to switch one with the other. Can I simply authorize the one I want to switch to the same user and Password that refers to the one I want to get to.

I have 2 Itunes libraries on 2 different computers and would like to switch one to become the other in order to have one complete library on both computers. Can I simply deauthorize and reauthorize the computer i want changed with the other library.

hi melansonp, these 2 emails accounts are from one webmail or from 2 differents ?

My iphone 3 keeps giving me the message that my password and username is not correct when i go into my mail. It was linked to my gmail account and had been working fine. All the sudden today it won't connect to my gmail account and this message appears

my phone has stopped connecting to my gmail account.When I click on the mail button it opens and the a message appears that says the user name and password for "imap.gmail.com" is incorrect. My information is correct under settings I have even deleted account and tried to re-set up my gmail account. Still nothing. It had been set up for months and working with no issues.

ATtempt to power off your device and power it back on, if that doesn't work reset all settings should resolve it for you

I purchased a full version of adobe acrobat a few years ago and my old computer broke down. I'd like to transfer the adobe acrobat I had installed in the previous laptop to my new one

How do I transfer the adobe acrobat full version that I purchased and installed in my previous computer to my new one?

You don't transfer it. You install it and use the serial number from the original to activate it. You might be able to find your serial number in your Adobe account online if you registered the software when you previously installed it. You can download the software thru the page linked below.

Old Computer Broke/How Do I Transfer Songs?

My old computer broke down (motherboard went out) and it won't start at all. I have bought a new computer and want to put all my IPod contents on this computer. I have the video IPod. I have installed the most recent ITunes program.
How do I go about installing the current contents of my IPod onto my new computer, when my old computer is unusable?
Thanks

There are a number of 3rd party apps that can do this for you including iPodAgent for Windows, copypod, & transpod. You can find a lot of these apps at versiontracker.com. You can take a look at MacMuse's instructions on the following link, also. but I warn you up front that MacMuse's method can be somewhat tricky for those who are computer inexperienced.

I am unable to import all photos to IPhoto on computer. At a certain photo the following message appears: IPhoto cannot import your photos
because there was a problem downloading an image. How can I circumvent this particular image and import all other photos?

I'm having the same issue. i have imported everything but the offending photo from my iPhone. problem is, with over 5000 pics, i have no idea how to find THAT ONE pic that won't import (bc I just get a greyed out pic image - with no data in iPhoto)
any idea how to get "date taken" info of THAT ONE pic out of iPhoto (or any metadata) so I don't have to search 3 years of pictures?
and I do apologize for hijacking.
