I have no bookmarks in Firefox 4 and can't restore or import any.

After I upgraded (?) to Firefox 4, I opened Bookmarks - Show All Bookmarks and it was empty. None of my bookmarks, no default bookmarks, no bookmarks at all. Weird, but easy to fix, or so I thought. I went to Import and Backup, Restore, and picked a date two days old. I got the expected This will replace all of your current bookmarks with the backup. Are you sure? and clicked OK. It immediately pops up Unable to process the backup file. Next I tried the same with two more dates with the same results.
Okay, let's try to import. Selected Import HTML then From HTML file and selected the one I created before I updated Firefox. I could see the bookmarks in the preview pane at the right, so I know they are there. I click Open and the dialog box goes away, but no bookmarks. No error message, no bookmarks.
I then picked a website, went there and clicked Bookmark This Page. I tried this with a few pages. No bookmarks, none, not one.
I uninstalled Firefox and installed it again, watching carefully for errors, problems, anything. It seemed to go fine, but still no bookmarks. I tried all the above steps and got the same results. I tried Firefox Safe Mode and once again, you guessed it, no bookmarks.
I looked in support and the forums. All I found was people who were unhappy with Firefox 4 and the advice Go to Import and Backup . . . yeah, that doesn't work.
I returned to Firefox 3.6.13 and did a restore from two days ago and it worked fine. I had bookmarked a site since that date, so next I imported from the HTML file I created before this mess all started and that worked fine as well. This proved that the HTML file and the JSON file were not the problem. I'll stay with Firefox 3.6.13 until they fix this problem with Firefox 4.

All of a sudden I cannot open websites from my desk top. I have to bookmark them in Google and open them from there. Any ideas?

I just installed a new wireless printer but I was able to access web pages normally after I did that. The problem started the next day. The only web page on the desktop that works is Google.
Thanks

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

This has never been a problem in the past, but when i insert a CD into my macbook, iTunes does not ask me if I want to import it and it ejects the CD. I have tried several different CD's and can neither play nor import them.

If that doesn't help you can try a cleaning disc, or a shot of compressed air but chances are good that your optical drive has failed. You can either replace it or buy an inexpensive external unit (but not Apple's as it won't work on macs with a built in drive working or not).

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?

If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.

This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

Hi,
don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

After I installed the recent Apple security patch, I can no longer save PDFs when using Safari. And Firefox no longer can open website PDFs. Any suggestions?

If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder. Restart Safari. If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
Thanks. This was the solution for me.

Double clicking on it should unzip the file, often resulting in a file in a folder or a file alone. If the file was purchased as FLAC then the file should end in .flac (if you have display extensions turned on). FLAC is a common format but it is poorly implemented on Macs, and Apple is obstinate about supporting it, preferring their own Apple Lossless format. iTunes won't play it and I don't think Quicktime will either. Many other applications will but it is inconvenient for everyday use. The easiest thing to do is to use a converter such as Max or XLD (both free) to convert the file to Apple Lossless (if you desire full-quality comparable to the FLAC format), or to AAC (typical of a file purchased from the iTunes Store). Both can be readily played in iTunes.
X Lossless Decoder: Lossless audio decoder for Mac OS X - http://tmkk.pv.land.to/xld/index_e.html - Tip for using: To change most settings you have to go through preferences.
