I have Old Firefox Data folder before i formated my laptop . but i just cant find how to use this folder for my new firefox to regain all the bookmarks i had.
I had some issue with my Firefox (it crashes when i starts), so i format my laptop to factory setting and now i got new Firefox installed and left with this Old Firefox Data folder.
my question is :
Ii understand the profile in my Old Firefox Data contains my Bookmarks and information i previously had before i formatted, i just do not know how to apply this Old Firefox Data to my new Firefox to get what i need.
How do i use Old Firefox Data to restore all my bookmarks and information?
You can move some files from the "Old Firefox Data" folder to the current Firefox profile folder.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
It is best to only copy what you need and avoid copying the full profile content.

vicckeyGSX, if you're referring to Apple's service by that name, is available only to employees of Apple-authorized service providers or self-servicing accounts. Unless you are employed by such an organization, you cannot access GSX. If you are employed by such an organization, they should set you up and give you the appropriate login information.
If you are interested in becoming a certified Apple hardware technician, you can find information here:
http://training.apple.com/certification/acmt
Please note, though, that certification does not in and of itself give you access to any of the Apple resouces for support organizations; diagnostic tools, parts ordering, etc. You again must be employed by an authorized Apple support provider before you can gain such access.
I have no idea what "knowlaged" might be.

I have sync linked to my main laptop. I recently wanted to merge my secondary laptop bookmarks with my main laptop bookmarks and when I linked my secondary, the stupid sync feature overrode all the bookmarks I had on the secondary! WHYYYYYY??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~>:(
Sync creates a backup before it does anything -> you can restore from the backup -> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20and%20restoring%20bookmarks

Right, first I had a PC then sync'd my bookmarks to my iphone...Now my PC has died. I have a new PC and wish to sync my bookmarks back to my new PC.. But I cant seem to do this because the sync process on my new pc asks me to 'add a new device' which I dont want to do... So I click 'I dont have the device with me' and even then I can't get a sync key because there is no way to find it on the iphone app. I have looked back through my emails to see if I was ever sent one by email, but I can't find it.
SO basicly it looks like I am going to loose all my bookmarks that I want to transfer onto my new pc. Unless I manualy add in the bookmarks from my phone onto the new PC on firefox and create a new sync account?I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
Any suggestions? -
i've recently reformatted my computer and i've taken the old firefox folder from before the reformat and put it on the new one but i dont know how to use it to restore my old settings
by the way im not using a different operating system im running windows 7 like i was previouslyHere's my suggested profile resurrection procedure using the old profile folder that's inside the Old Firefox Data folder.
'''Overview'''
These are the steps:
# Create a new Firefox profile
# Remove everything from that new profile folder
# Copy in everything from the old profile folder
'''Create a new Firefox profile (Windows)'''
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Note: Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.''
Click the Create Profile button and skip the option to change the folder location. Then select that new profile in the dialog and start Firefox.
'''Open the New Profile folder in Windows Explorer'''
Firefox in the new profile should look like a factory fresh installation. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table, click the "Show Folder" button. Firefox will launch your brand new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
Leaving this folder open, switch back to Firefox, and Exit. This will leave that profile folder open in Windows Explorer.
'''Copy Old Data in Place of New'''
In that new profile folder, select all the contents and delete.
Leaving that window open, open or switch over to your Old Firefox Data folder. Drill down into your old profile folder. At this level you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
Select everything (Ctrl+a) and Copy (either right-click > Copy or Ctrl+c).
Switch to the empty new profile folder in other window and Paste (either right-click > Paste or Ctrl+v). This may take a minute since some of the files are large.
'''Start Firefox'''
Firefox should start up in that new profile with the resurrected old profile data. Success? -
I'm trying to access my family pack email addresses to correct before moving over to icloud. I can't find how to access it. Can someone help me?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Connect it to iTunes with a USB cable and update it from the iTunes application.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile. -
With some research I found regedit setting called “TabProcGrowth” that allows tabs to span without re-authenticating with certain browsers. Can you tell me how to fix this issue for my Mozilla Firefox users? Our current version of Mozilla Firefox is: 24.5.0 (x86 en-US). This was first noticed with a product called Confluence that we use in our Tech Support area. Users are having to reenter their password every time they click on a new link in confluence. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,Hi Bernie:
As long as you are accessing your internal server on http:// or https:// then I would expect the normal rules to apply. To see whether some external requests are being blocked, you might try using Firefox's Web Console, Network tab.
You can open the console in the lower part of a tab using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+k
* "3-bar" menu button > Developer > Web Console
* (menu bar) Tools menu > Web Developer > Web Console
Click "Network" on the top bar of the Web Console.
Then use the address bar or a bookmark to launch Confluence in the same tab. Each request made by Firefox should be displayed along with the result. You can click a row for more details.
When I look up "TabProcGrowth" it seems related to the Protected Mode feature of IE8 and newer, which is not (yet) applicable to Firefox. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/askie/archive/2009/03/09/opening-a-new-tab-may-launch-a-new-process-with-internet-explorer-8-0.aspx
However, if Confluence is heavily reliant on plugins such as Flash or Java, that could be a factor because plugins are run out-of-process in Firefox. In that case I suggest checking with Confluence for suggestions. -
I had bookmarks on an older computer. When I got my new one my husband took over the old one and deleted firefox before I had a chance to get my bookmarks. Is there anyway to find all those bookmarks I had?
Hopefully he didn't delete the Firefox Profile folder. <br />

I have old unlimited data plan and insurance and just broke my Google Nexus 1.
If I send it in, will I get a refurbished Nexus 1?
I was told by a friend that they no longer supply those and if I break it, the insurance will give a crappier phone since they no longer have Nexus 1s.
Is this true? If my phone is no longer properly insured is there a way to cancel/reimbuse my insurance/verizon account since it's worthless if they don't give the same model to replace it?
Second question, if I buy the contract-free moto X at full retail, can I use that for my account without losing the unlimited data and then dropping the insurance?Ann154
How come so many people on this forum are having trouble doing that? They get a new phone, pay full price, call to activate, the rep accidentally removes unlimited data and then says, "Sorry, I can't restore that." It's then up to the customer to find someone here to deal with problem and with no assurance it will be restored properly (one person lost his global unlimited data, only domestic unlimited was restored.)
I plan on keeping my unlimited data, purchasing phone full price; what is the best way to make sure it is done properly? Go to the VZW store? I does seem most people having problems did it online or by telephone.
Thanks.

Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta
The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB. -
Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKIOk. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

i have problem with Cellular data network it is not apearing in iphone setting so help me how to bring this option in iphone
What brand/model USB drive? Is it bus or AC powered?
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.

I now have a new laptop, but I'm afraid to plug my iPod in because I know it will wipe out all 300 songs. Is there a way to put my old music on my new laptop?
(After my old laptop blew, it won't turn on anymore). I've invested quite a bit of money into my music, and it'd be a bummer if it's all gone to waste.
Thanks in advance!Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

So all the bookmarks I've "bookmarked" for the past year are just gone - I don't understand why Firefox just doesn't automatically save every bookmark you make each session & put them in a place so you can organize them ... maybe there's some extra step you can take every session to force firefox to do this - I don't know what that is - but am also a bit aggravated that there has to be an extra step to do this - Internet Explorer just auto saves everything you bookmark, why can't Firefox - I see this as a big disadvantage to Firefox that needs to be made much simpler ... I have a mac, how do I go back & retrieve everything I've ever bookmarked on Firefox?
I think all the details are sufficiently covered in the question (which then in filling out the help form Firefox quite sillily made me shorten so I reposted the whole thing in this comment above - just another unnecessary step, seems to be the Firefox norm)
And btw the articles on lost bookmarks, saving bookmarks, etc. - were not helpful at all. Very not helpful. Almost anti-helpful.
I generally like Firefox & use it all the time, but this one area as to bookmarks is very frustrating & causing me to seriously consider not using Firefox at all & switching back to Internet Explorer or another browser like Google Chrome. What's the point of bookmarking something (which by itself indicates you are wanting to save the site link so you can re-find & re-visit it in the future) if Firefox just auto deletes all your bookmarking everytime it starts up? Just a completely user-unfriendly idea.A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

i have got a new phone and my old phone was wiped. I backed it up but where can i find all my contacts?
Unfortunately your other contacts may be lost. Contacts are not saved in iTunes; they are only synced with iTunes to a supported program such as Outlook or mac Address Book. If you don't have these, there are other options for backing up your contacts such as syncing them with iCloud or another service such as Google. Syncing only partially saves contacts in the backup in order to preserve your favorites and recent call lists; it can't be relied on for backing up your entire contact list.
