I have reset firefox and now everything is sitting on my desktop. I want it back on my firefox profile but I don't understand the directions on how to do it.

Resetting didn't say I'd lose everything - it sounded like most would still be preserved. I don't understand about creating the new profile and copying everything to it. Isn't there an easier way to do this? I tried restoring my computer hoping that would bring back how it was but that didn't work. I'm not a computer expert so need baby steps on this. I have windows 7. Thank you.

It is not the Internet Explorer, but the Windows Explorer file manager that you need to open.
You can use a file manager to copy files from one folder to another folder, in this case from the Old Firefox Data folder to the current profile folder.

    I did a a factory reset to my I phone 4G but it ask for the original owner account but I don't know the original owner, how can I activate my device?

    Unfortunately, you can't.  There's no way around it.  You'll have to get the ID and password used to originally activate the phone or you will not be able to activate it again.  If you can't contact them, try to get your money back because you won't be able to use it.

  • I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website. How can I backup my data?

    I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?

    No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.

  • I just downloaded the new firefox and now my worldwinner site will not play the audio because of a missing file?

    It will not let me play the bejeweled 2 game with sound the new version of firefox disabled my sound?? Please help?????

    Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
    If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
    Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.
    * [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
    * [[Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window]]
    I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
    * FirefoxButton -> add-ons
    ** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]
    ** examples [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar/ yahoo toolbar] & [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-mail-notifier/ mail notifier]
    * also look at Yahoo's own information such as http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/toolbar/cl3/c3_ff_toolbar1.html

  • I updated firefox and now everything i click on below the tab bar does not work for any website! please help

    Do you have AVG Safe Search installed? It blocks use of the Enter key after typing in a search string.
    Disable it by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions. You should be able to find it in there.

  • I just updated to the most-recent version of Firefox, and now I can't seem to get my google toolbar back.

    I went to the google website and downloaded the toolbar again, but it still isn't showing up in Firefox.

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with 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 purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I just update Firefox, and now I can't get Greasemonkey D of A Powertools to work! my computer, but it still won't come up. HELP! Is there anyway for me to go back to the earlier version of Firefox that let me use this?

  • I have a hp635 notebook and I want to add a 5.1 sistem but I don't find the properly drive.

    HP 635 SERIAL:5CB2070CH3 / WIN 7/32
    My audio driver do not support a 5.1 sistem and I don t find one to configure that.

    To make this your syncing computer and not loose any app data do the following:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • Did a recent up date to Firefox and now I have a pop up tab to log into Google. How do I turn it off?

    Did a recent up date to Firefox and now I have a pop up tab to log into Google. How do I turn it off? Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • My wife decided to set up her iPhone on my account and now everything is comingled.  I want to set up an iTunes account for just me. Do I have to set that up on a computer or can I set it up on the iPhone?

    My wife decided to set up her iPhone on my account and now everything is comingled.  I want to set up an iTunes account for just me. Do I have to set that up on a computer or can I set it up on the iPhone?

    iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
    Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
    NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices.

  • I was given an iPhone 3G, reset it, and now have picture which I believe is telling me to connect to iTunes.  I did but nothing shows on the phone.  I know I need iOS 4.2 but don't know how to get it.

    I was given an iPhone 3G, reset it, and now have picture which I believe indicates I should connect to my computer and iTunes.  Have done so, clicked download which was done, but nothing changes on the phone.  I know I can only upgrade to ios 4.2 but how do I do this?

    Hello challenged37,
    From what you describe it sounds like the phone is in recovery mode. Try connecting the phone to the wall charger that it came with, and perform a reset then connect it to iTunes again and try:
    Reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Here is some additional info on what to do if the device still doesnt show in iTunes from the article named:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you see the Connect to iTunes screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps if you're using a Mac, or these steps for Windows computers.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling
