I have multiple 'bookmarks menu' folders, and only one is the active one. May I delete the others safely ?

no other details avaiable

Yes, you can delete the other folder. Firefox won't allow to remove the real Bookmarks Menu (system) folder anyway.

HT4910 I have 2 lines and on 1 of the main phone I went to settings then storage & backup automatically it showed how much space i have which was not allot and it also showed the other line storage space. I click on manage storage and it used to show both

I was told that I have 14.9 gb of space on my phone when my total is 15gb. I was adviced to free storage and to click on settings and manage my storage by either purchase more or turning off or deleting some of the back ups. When I went in to settings then to icloud it usually would of showed me both phone storage memory and when I started going down my list and turning off some of the apps from back ups of certain app all of a sudden I couldnt no longer see my phone storage memory or my account name for that matter. Now I only see the other line username and storage space that the other phone has.
What can I do? I used to see the list of all the apps I have on icloud and now its empty and it tells me I have available 13.4 gb available.
Please advice. Thank you
Patricia

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

Deleting "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu" folders from Bookmarks

Hi all,
I synched my Safari Bookmarks...really didn't need to and now I don't want these "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu" folders. Why can't I delete them?
Thanks,
Ben

Both of these menus can be deleted from Safari's iPhone bookmarks menu but the process is a little involved and requires the use of Property List Editor for the Developer Tools package.
If you have this, chances are you already know what to do, but otherwise you will need to download the Developer Tools package from Apple (and even on a fast connection) it is probably quicker to reload your iPhone from scratch.
But just in case:
1a) Quit Safari on your computer.
1b) with you iPhone sync'd to iTunes, unselect the sync automatically box. (You can go back later, just do it for now.)
2) Navigate to ~/Library/Safari/Booksmarks.plist file.
3) Make a copy and rename it Bookmarks(original).plist. This is your backup file in case things go wrong.
4) Launch Safari.
5) Create a new folder called Bookmarks, or whatever you want your top level Bookmarks folder to be on your iPhone.
6) Drag all folders and urls that you want for you iPhone into this folder.
7) Arrange it the way that you want. You can also do this on the iPhone, but it is easier to do it here, than on the phone.
8) QUIT SAFARI AND DO NOT RELAUNCH IT. (This is important, because you are going to edit this file to remove those folders and Safari will recreate them if you launch it.)
9) Open your Bookmarks.plist file in the Property List Editor.
10) Navigate to the Children arrow and expand.
11) Select the "0" item and delete (That is the Bookmarks bar, or Bookmarksbar menu that Safari hard codes to the bookmarks list)
12) Select the "1" item and also delete (This is the BookmarksMenu item)
13) If you poke around in this file, you will notice the History, RSS feeds, and your top level menu that you created in #5.
14) Save the modifications and close the Bookmarks.plist file, (save changes if prompted).
15) DO NOT LAUNCH SAFARI (just a reminder)
16) Launch iTunes and select the iPhone, DO NOT SYNC IT YET.
17) Select the info tab, and scroll to the Web Browser section and select the "Sync Safari bookmarks" checkbox.
18) Scroll to the Advanced section and select the "Bookmarks" checkbox.
19) Click "Apply" and "Sync"
20) wait for sync to complete.
21) remove iPhone from cradle and check your Safari bookmarks. You should be good to go with the iPhone's Safari and its bookmarks, however you are not done yet.
22) THIS IS IMPORTANT. For this modification to last, you have to go back to iTunes.
23) reinstall the iPhone on the cradle, AGAIN DO NOT SYNC.
24) go back to the "Sync Safari bookmarks" checkbox and unselect it. Then click the "Apply" button again. This will prevent Safari on your computer from syncing to Safari on your iPhone. If you ever do, with this box checked, those two pesky menus will reappear.
25) You are done.
Hope this helped,
zac

How can I have multiple accounts and only one library

I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac as well as thge MacBook Air I was working on. HELP!!!

Hi,
There is NO need to put your whole questing in the "Questing Heather" therefore you can TYPE here. In the Text window as I did to.
Now to your questing:
So, you moved some Bookmarks and now 2 folders are completely empty.
I think that they dropped in a other folder during dragging the Bookmarks.
Did you check ALL of you Bookmark folder if they are there?
If you didn't delete the they have to be still there.

Started with iPod/iTunes (home pc) several years ago. Added iPhone, iPad, laptop and office pc. Have multiple iTunes/iMusic folders

Started out with iPod/iTunes on a home pc several years ago. Added iPhone, iPad, laptop and office pc. Have multiple iTunes/iMusic folders on all 3 computers -- using iCloud to access media on iPhone/iPad. What's the best way consolidate songs, movies, books, etc prior to phasing out home pc? Which machine (laptop or office pc) is best to use as the master host for iTunes/iMusic going forward? Don't want to lose anything or create numerous duplicates.

I finally resolved this... by changing everything over to a new laptop. I had been running iTunes on a Vista desktop, and moved Outlook and iTunes to a Win7 x64 laptop. Once I got everything installed, I copied the iTunes folder to the laptop, transferred the purchases, backed up the iPhone and iPad to the new iTunes, and then synched them. Set iTunes to sync Calendar, Contacts, Mail, and Notes on both, and resynched. Once this was done and I verified that everything was intact on both the iPhone and the iPad, I tried entering a calendar event on the phone and then did another sync. The event showed up in Outlook. I then deleted the event from Outlook and did another sync and the event was gone from the iPhone. Did the same with the iPad and got the same results. So this apparently was something related to the desktop or Vista; I never got it resolved on the desktop. Not sure what it could be, but now that it's resolved I'm going to leave it alone. Maybe after I upgrade to an iPhone 5, I might try messing with the iPhone 4s on the Vista desktop. If I do, and happen to get it resolved, I'll surely post something regarding that.

Unable to open firefox - get message that " a copy is already open and only one copy can be open at a time. I have dragged the app to the waste basket and downloaded another firefox app. However same result". I have a IMAC , V.10.6.3.

Unable to open firefox - get message that " a copy is already open and only one copy can be open at a time. I have dragged the app to the waste basket and downloaded another firefox app. However same result". I have a IMAC , V.10.6.3.
I get above message when I click on the firefox icon.

This worked, I used the method described in this link http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=365156, and opened the Mozilla profile screen with the terminal on my mac, using the language given in the links. Then I duplicated my original profile to save the bookmarks, etc. Put them in a folder listed Duplicate profile with the date. With the open profile screen, I deleted my original profile, created new profile folder and then a new profile. Note that profile cannot be created in the system library, it must be created on the disc, because the library will not allow writing into it. After I created my new profile folder, I dragged all my old information into it, and it worked. Firefox closed and the error disappeared. You must be VERY careful to make sure Firefox is closed anytime you are doing anything with the profile folders. I think that is what caused my original problem.

HT1386 I have been syncing my IPad to only one PC computer successfully for over a year. Now when I try to sync I get the message that the ipad is synced with another computer and can be synced with only one. How can I correct this?

Although I have synced my ipad to only one PC computer I now get the message that it is synced to another computer and only one computer sync is permitted. I have lots of apps on the ipad and do not want to loose everything by starting fresh with the ipad. How can I get the ipad to again accept my computer and sync successfully?

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

I have 2 macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only loged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk

I have 2 Macbooks each with an account for me and one for my wife. I use one Macbook logged in with my account and my wife uses the other Macbook only logged in on her account. We both make regular time-machine back-ups each on a separate external disk. Is it possible to update her account on my macbook using her external disk without overwriting my stuff on the same Macbook and vice versa?

Time Machine does not do individual accounts. It records the complete drive. So if you were to use her TM backup on your Mac it would make your Mac just like hers. Both yours and her account on your MAC.
Just copy the missing files over from her Mac to yours. If there are differennt programs on each then they would need to be installed on both.

My iPhone is a 16GB and it says 9.0GB Available and 3.7GB used; I suspect the missing 2.3GB is occupied by the system software.

I used to have over 2000 songs in my itunes library, now there are only a few and I cannot find the others.

I purchased a bundle of 5 movies thru itunes and only one is on my library. how do I get the other 4?
(I am not great with computers)

Which OS version are you on?
Which Mac - model/year?
Did you download all 5 movies (depending on your connection, that could have taken quite some time)? Have you checked to see if they're available for download?

Then there is more than one Apple ID involved.... Or a Restrictions Passcode has been set.

We have two iphones and only one ipad. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones, which have separate apple ids. How do we get our ipad to accept this?

We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones. How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts? icloud is enabled on all three devices.

Also, be aware of the following:
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows sear

How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.
