  • Since the 3.6 upgrade, my bookmark toolbar has disappeared and I cannot add any bookmarks. The places.sqlite file is gone as is the Firefox folder in application support. It has been replaced by a Mozilla folder that has nothing in it.

    Firefox will not recognize the backup file for bookmarks. It says "unable to process backup file". There is no places.sqlite file to delete. There is nothing in the profile folder

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • If I take off ALL my toolbars, is there any way I can get them back without restarting in Safe Mode?

    I needed more of a browser window to run a tutorial, the start button was below sight of my window. So I took off all my toolbars and then I had enough room to see the top of the start button (tab?), enough for it to work. But then I had no toolbars and ended up having to restart in Save Mode and reset them. Is there any way to at least get back the menu toolbar when they have all been deleted? Thanks, Bill

    1. The '''F11''' key is for toggling Full Screen mode. That will give you more room than hiding all the toolbars does.
    2. Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
    Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

  • I am trying to export my bookmarks to an HTML file, but the "organize" option does not appear when I click on the "bookmarks" option on the menu bar. How can I find the organize option?

    How can I find the "organize" option or export my bookmarks to HTML when no "organize" option appears when I click on the "bookmarks" word on the menu bar?

    Menu changed to show "Show All Bookmarks" see item #7 "Menu changes (wording)" in
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

  • I cannot add any bookmarks to my existing ones with the new 30.0 firefox.

    I updated to firefox 30.0. Now, I can't create any new bookmarks. I've clicked on the little star icon and it bops over to the clipboard icon. However, when I check for unsorted bookmarks it does not appear. I have checked in the bookmarks button at the top of the page and it shows up nowhere. I've never had a problem with bookmarks before and have sorted them into many folders. I have tried several things, and no matter what I have done I cannot create a new bookmark. I reset firefox to default, but this still did not fix my bookmark problem. I tried erasing a few bookmarks to make room, but that didn't help. I tried dragging the address straight into my folders. This used to work on the old version. Now, no matter what I do I cannot create a new bookmark. This is very frustrating. I wish I hadn't updated. My MacBook Air is less than a year old and uses OS X.

  • I Cannot Delete Any Calendars Since Upgrading to Mavericks

    Every time I try and delete a calendar it disappears, then reappears when iCloud updates again.
    I've tried deleting the calendar(s) from iCloud, from my iOS devices, from my iMac, from my laptop.
    It is always the same.
    It disappears then reappears.
    Does anyboday know what to do?
    cheers,
    Danger

    Troubleshooting is a process of elimination. Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it’s your User’s folder that contains the problem.
    Put a PDF in the Shared folder. Put one you created and one from another source.
    Your Hard Drive/Users/Shared
    When you "Switch Users", you can access the PDFs in the shared folder.
    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.
    Open System Preferences and make sure a printer is selected.
    Drag  the PDfs from Shared (it actually copies) to Desktop. Try printing
    Do you still see the issue?
        If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.

  • HELP QUICK!  My iPad is restricting me from using YouTube, when I used my friend's theirs worked perfectly (using my wifi) and when I try again to use mine at home it doesn't work. help me please!

    Dear reader,
    Could you please help me quick, my iPad is restricting me from something.
    I tried to go on YouTube many times on my favorite videos list and I get a message saying: you don't have permission to access the requested resource. I go to settings to see if anybody restricted me from YouTube and nobody did. I went to my friend's house and they have wifi. My iPad worked perfectly in YouTube. I went back to use my dad's iPad and after I watched some videos for a while, his stopped working on YouTube too. After then, I went back to my mom's house and the same thing happened. TO BOTH MY IPAD AND MY DAD'S! Is there something wrong with them? Please reply soon! :)

    I have the same issue. When I select a video from my favorites list (this is in the YouTube app—not through the Safari browser), I get the error message "You do not have permission to access the requested resource." My sister has said she has gotten the same message on her iPhone 3GS.
    The work around is to kill the YouTube process (double press the home key to bring up the recent apps list, press and hold on the YouTube icon until the red minus sign appears, then tap on the minus sign). When you restart YouTube, it works.
    However, invariably, the next day, when I try again, I get the same message, and have to kill YouTube again.

  • ITunes doesnt recognise any iphone since upgrade to 10.5

    I am on windows 7 using Toshiba Satelitte L770
    I have an iPhone 3GS, my wife has an iPhone 4 and we have an iPad.
    All 3 worked fine with the Toshiba on itunes 10.4
    I then wanted to upgrade the devices to iOS 5.0.1 (from 4.3) - so iTunes 10.5.2 had to be downloaded first which we did.
    Once iTunes was upgrade - the devices were not recognised, only as camera devices but not in iTunes
    I tried all of the standard troubleshooting as seen here - http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_7
    No joy.
    On a separate laptop running Windows Vista on a Dell Latitude, I have iTunes 10.5.2 installed.
    When i plug the devices in, they are recognised no problem. So this problem appears to be related to the Toshiba only
    I removed itunes and reinstalled the old version 10.4 -- this time iTunes gives out to say the version of iOS is imcompatible with iTunes 10.4 - which I think is good, as at least its recognising the iphone is connected.
    Once I upgrade to 10.5.2. on itunes again, nothing, doesnt recognise the fact that any of the devices have been plugged in
    Help??
    What else can I try, cant find anything on google other than what I covered in the troubleshooting requests.

    Been having the same issues happening on the same machine as you. I did this yesterday, and so far so good.
    1. Restart in safe mode (Hold down shift key when you hear the chime)
    2. Under Applications > Utilities > Disk Utilities, select your hard drive on the left column, and click "Repair Permissions"
    3. Once done, restart
    It's been a day since I've done this, and no beachballs yet (fingers crossed)

  • HT1203 I moved my Itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on to my computer. Since then aperture has been unable to locate the music files and I cannot add any of my itunes files to a slid

    I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
    In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow?  In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
    Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

  • Wow ... I'm stumped ... I have been a dedicated and satisfied Firefox user .. OK ... I downloaded Firefox 8.01 to my Mac and now I cannot save any bookmarks even aftertrying everything I can find in Firefox Help

    Help with bookmarks ... I cannot save any bookmarks at all ...even in safe mode, I have reset Firefox preferences, restarted after installing, and looked at all of the Troubleshooting instructions.
    Really at a loss and will not be able to use Firefox until I figure ths out ... I love my Firefox and want it to work

    Thanks for the reply ... I was not able to locate the places.sqlite file as described. I did solve the problem by deleting Firefox .. emptying the trash and then I restarted the computer and re-installed a new download of the application. When I completed the clean install everything worked great. I like the new look and features of 8.0.1 and look forward to using it from now on ... Thanks again for trying to help core-el ,,,

  • I have lost my bookmarks and cannot add any new ones.

    My laptop was working normally yesterday. I logged on today at work and the computer seemed to be working fine but my bookmarks was empty. I tried to add my more common sites and it would not add any bookmarks. I tried the trouble shooting tips without success. If I try to restore bookmarks I get "cannot access file" message.

  • HT1296 somebody can help me?, I am trying to sync my ipad but i get the following message: iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPad "Fernando Velazquez Ipad" because no songs in the playlist "Purchased" can be copied to this iPad.

    iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPad “Fernando Velazquez Ipad” because no songs in the playlist “Purchased” can be copied to this iPad.

    That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
    by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.
