I am trying to restore bookmarks to a new firefox from an .sqfile but it will not restore?

I have a customers computer whose hard drive died on them and I was able to find the places.sqfile that is the bookmarks file but I cannot import the file as that or even if I change the extension to .json which I learned is the proper backup file that Firefox makes. Please any and all help is welcome and thank you in advance.

You need to copy the places.sqlite file to the Firefox profile folder to make Firefox use it.
You would need to restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files

I have an iMac that I am running OSX 10.8.3 on. I keep trying to install 10.8.4 but it will not install. I tried updating and installing several times and it restarts the computer but it will not install the software. My machine is about 8 months old.

Sometimes the App Store version doesn't work correctly. In this case, install 10.8.4 with the Combo version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The Combo installer is the safest way to update OS X, and it allows you to update more than one computer with a single download

I lost the Icons from my 4s 6.1.2 IOS I can see them in Itunes but they will not restore to the Phone

What icons are you talking about?
Are you talking about apps that you've downloaded? if so just sync them back to your phone using iTunes.

I restored my iPad 2. I'm unable to re-download "Newsweek" purchased issues. It is an "in-app" purchase. I'm tapping "Restore All Purchases" in the Newsweek for iPad app, but it is not restoring. I see the "Buy" button next to a purchased issue.

I upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -, i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -

i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -

I have run into the same problem.
1. I was sharing the same itunes account with my wife for both of our iPhones 4s. She upgraded her phone to IOS7 two weeks before I did. After I did we ran into problems with messaging. Because we shared itunes account, both iphones were linked. When I sent text messages to someone, she got a copy. When they replied, she got a copy. I tried several ways to remove her phone from my profile, but would not work with new IOS7. I had to create a seperate itunes account for my phone in oirder to do so, as recommended on several help forums.
2. I backed up my phone onto itunes before setting up seperate itunes account. It showed that all the photos, contacts, notes, apps, etc. were synced and backed up.
3. I logged off itunes (former shared account- now wife's account), logged into new itunes account, and proceeded to restore my phone, while logged into my new itunes account, thinking this would delete my wife's phone from the profile as shared devices.
4. Phone would not restore by automatically syncing with itunes, by selecting back up recovery file to recover, or even by deleting everything and starting fresh as if it were a new phone, then trying to restore the data file as if it were recovering the backup info onto the new phone.
5. I get the same **** initialization loop sequence on the iphone every time, even after itunes goes through the recovery process, syncing all data, etc., multiple times. The iPhone loops through the grey screen "Welcome" in different languages, then asks which wireless server I want to connect to, enter passcode, then asks if I want to set up phone as a new device, backup from iCloud, or from iTunes backup. It does not matter which I select. It prompts me to connect to iTunes again. The point is, I have already been through these procedures and the iPhone cannot get past this point and enter run mode, showing me a screen with all my recovered settings.
For time being, just to have a functional phone, I have had to delete everything off the phone and set it up as a new device, back to factory settings. Then the phone will get past this and enter into run mode showing screen and apps with factory settings, no contacts, no email ( have to set up again), no voice mail ( have to reset).
Any ideas on how to over ride this reset mode in the iPhone, when all I want to do is download and recover settings from a backup in iTunes to the device?

I updated my phone but it will not restore so I have a bunch of apps that wont open and all my music and videos are gone.

I updated my 3GS and it will not restore. All of my apps are ther but will not open and all of my music is gone. Everything is on my itunes but it will not let me sync. It just says to retore from backup or start as new iphone.

Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

My iPhone is stuck in DFU mode but it will not restore please help me!

What happened to my phone was I was having screen issues so i replaced it and it worked normally for about 5 minutes and then the screen went black. After the screen went black, it came back on with the "connect to itunes screen". Since then i've tried to restore it and no good has cone fron trying. Sometimes itunes will tell me that it can't be restored because of the build of the phone or itunes will give me a different error code. Itunes also will make it as far as the restore screen where itunes is saying waiting for iphone and the iphone screen is on with the white loading line under the apple but the line will not move no matter how long you give it time to load. I've tried pretty much all the techniques to reslove my issue. I've even used tiny umbrella, and redsnow to try and kick it out of recovery mode but that does is make the apple logo pop up and fade out until the screen is black and then pop up again. Can someone please help me?

It sounds to me like you either got defective parts or otherwise did not make the repair correctly. We cannot help with self-repairs here, the iPhone officially not user servicable, but you can ask for advice in the forums on ifixit.com, a site which is dedicated to those attempting their own repairs.

can anyone please help me?? I CAN NOT GET IT O WORK

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I have an Apple Trackpad that shows that it is connected with Bluetooth but it is not responding. I've tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting and also turning the trackpad on and off but it simply does not respond. Does anyone have any idea on what is going on here?

There are reports of similar behavour but generally it is due to battery connections. Is the indicator light working steadily or does it blink or even not function. Here is the Apple document dealing with some of the problems.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1544/en_US/Magic_Trackpad_UG.pdf
Is your machine within the guarantee period or under Apple care. If so, return it to any apple retailer for examination and possible replacement.
