I had to reinstall Firefox and I lost all of my bookmarks. How do I recover them?
Firefox was not working no matter what I did, so I performed an uninstall/reinstall. However, I forgot about all my bookmarks and when I reinstalled it, they were all missing. I have no idea how to get them all back.
If you did not remove your personal data, but Firefox did not find it when you reinstalled, could you check your desktop for a folder named Old Firefox Data?
Also, turn on viewing of hidden files and folders and do a search of your entire C drive for bookmarkbackups (it's a hidden folder). Here are Microsoft's steps for making that change: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

I have a Toshiba laptop and my hard drive crashed. I had to install a new hard drive and restore the Windows 8 OS--basically started from scratch as NONE of my data was recoverable. Wondering if I can retrieve all of my old bookmarks. Im a graduate student and had a ton of important things bookmarked. I dont remember creating any sort of profile when I originally downloaded Firefox. Please help!
You need to find your old profile in your old hard drive. Maybe you will need unhide the hidden files and folders:
*[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders]
Go to your hold profile. Probably the path is:
*<old drive>:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data Profiles]
So inside of your old profile folder there is a folder called '''Bookmarksbackups''' enter in it, the get the most recent .json file copy to your new hard drive then open Firefox go to '''Bookmarks''' >> '''Show all bookmarks''' >> '''Import and backup''' >> '''Restore''' then chose the option to select a file then select that file that you copy to your new hard drive

I Connected My IPad 1st Generation To The Computed To Have It updated And I Lost All of My Pictures, How Do I Get Them Back?? Help, Please!
Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing. -

I changed my ID account on my ICloud and lost all my contacts. will they come back when I resync?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean by changed your ID. Is it a new account, or did you just change your address under the same account. -
Please help me, i have lost all my contacts during a software update and have no idea how to retrieve them.
If you've been using your phone as recommended, you've been keeping your contacts safe on your computer in Outlook or Address Book, or safe with a cloud service like Google.
Your contacts should be there safe and sounds ready to synch back to your iPhone.
Not using your phone as recommended and only using your phone as the sole place for contacts? Well, you've just learned a hard lesson. They're gone. -
I also have the app for my iphone which is still synced with my account and has my bookmarks there but I don't know how to get them onto firefox. The account i used to sync my bookmarks on my iphone app was under the email address [email protected] as is this one. I tried logging in with the first account but no pw I tried worked. I tried to get a new pw from the site but I was never sent an email to reset it so I created a new account under the same email address.
I got my contacts back by doing another restore! Relief..
But only a very few odd apps are showing up on the 3GS
Any suggestions? -
I had my computer worked on recently. When I got it back, I had to reinstall itunes. I synced my iphone and lost all my contacts. How do I get them back?
Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service? Then they're gone. -

I recently downloaded itunes 10.5 and have lost all my music. How do i retrieve it? Help!
shouldnt be too hard for them to not have sync as the default
Not difficult at all but iTunes is meant to be very simple to use. No one would know how to sync their music if the default was to not sync it.
many people will have an ipod that hoops up to itunes for first time and then will sync up and lose all songs
One big reason to make regular backups. -

Updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 lost all my photos. How can I retreive them?
Updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 lost all my photos. How can I retreive them?
I'm on a MacBook Pro using OS X version 10.9.5.
When I attempted to edit a photo in the version I had at the time, I got a message that I must update to iPhoto 9.5.1 to use that function. So I did so. When I reopened iPhoto, all my photos were gone. I looked for them in finder but found none of my photos there in the iPhoto library either.
My Time Machine backup, directs me back to iPhoto.
I just want to re-load my photos. Can you help?What do you see when you launch iPhoto? How big is your iPhoto library? Where is it located?
Directions for using Time Machine to restore are at the bottom of this article - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
And note you NEVER use the finder to access your photos - you only access them using the proper tools - How to Access Files in iPhoto
