I keep losing my edited bookmarks, I make a change then the next day that change is gone the bookmarks have disappeared and I have to keep reloading bookmarks

I keep trying to get rid of old bookmarks and reorganize the one I have, but the next day all the hard work just disappears. I have to reload stuff from Monday when this first started happening but even then only some stuff is carrying over, folders I create to put stuff in remain but they're empty. I already tried the places.sqlite option twice but that isn't doing anything.

Could you please continue in your original thread about this issue?

  • My bookmarks have disappeared and I can't add new bookmarks.

    All my bookmarks have disappeared, including the defaults on the toolbar of most visited, etc. I can't add new bookmarks either. I have tried all the Help Topics on lost bookmarks. I tried restoring bookmark backups, but the backup from the date I lost bookmarks says "unable to process backup file." All the later dates will load, but they have no bookmarks saved in them. All of the other Help Topic attempts went fine but did not solve the problem.

    What I would say is that if you have any bookmarks at all at present that you make a manual backup of them, and then continue to make manual backups as any recovery efforts proceed.
    * see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    There is a possibility that you had corrupt files, and may then have inadvertently overwritten any files that may have contained bookmarks. It is a good idea to make manual backups, for cases where the auto backups do not. work as expected.
    If you have already followed the instructions carefully about [[lost bookmarks]] and without resolving the situation, there may not be much you can do about your personal bookmarks. If they are important and you are willing to try there may be a possibility using file recovery software, &/or sqlite editors that something could be salvaged, but not something I can advise on, I am not currently a Mac user.
    The default bookmarks should be fairly easy to restore. You can probably also start the bookmarks working again. Trying the simplest options first:
    # work from [safe mode]
    #* at this stage when you see the first dialogue window with options do not make changes, press the continue button
    # use the customise / customize option from the toolbars and '''reset defaults'''
    #* Mac may differ from my Windows XP, I can right click bookmarks, or use the tools menu see [[How do I customize the toolbars?]]
    # if that has failed to resolve the problem go back to safe mode as in step 1 but this time use reset toolbars and controls.
    By now you should have the default bookmarks back and maybe the bookmarks work and will save new bookmarks, try it whilst still in safe mode, before going back to try in ordinary mode. If it works in safe mode but not in ordinary mode you probably have some add-on managing to cause problems
    If you still have problems and bookmarks will not save see [[bookmarks not saved]] that probably indicates corrupt places.sqlite &/or localstore.rdf the linked article explains how to find and delete them.

  • My bookmarks have disappeared and I can't do new bookmarks. I have tried restoring them by clicking on backups and by downloading backup and neither will work.

    That's all I know. I've followed the directions for restoring them and nothing works.

    I hope this can help you;

  • I have Firefox version 34.0.5. All my bookmarks have disappeared and I can't add new bookmarks. The "library" remains empty. Help!!

    Have tried to restore a bookmarks file (I have a dozen or so) but I get the message "unable to process the back up file". Clicking the "star" to add a new bookmark appears to work until I click "show all bookmarks" which reveals a still empty library. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Thank you very much for your help.
    What worked for me was to close down Firefox, delete the "places.sqlite" file and restart Firefox. My bookmarks instantly came back. This file is inside the "application data" folder which is a hidden folder. You must unhide the "application data" folder first in order to delete the "places sqlite" file using windows explorer.
    There may be an easier way but this worked for me.
    Thanks again

  • When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

    When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
    When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999).    So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
    Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
    How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them?  This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

    Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
    Then exit iTunes and open it up again.  Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match).  If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

  • Can students upload an unfinished iMovie on the iPad to EDMODO and then reaccess it the next day to continue editing?

    I have students that want to make an iMovie on iPads for an upcoming project.  We have EDMODO set up for them to post and save their work so they can access it again the next school day.  Is it possible to upload an UNFINISHED iMovie to Edmodo so they can again edit it on other school days?  Our periods are too short for them to finish in 1 sitting.
    Thank you!!

    This does work. Students can save the video on the camera roll and then upload them into their edmodo library. The next day they can open the video and export them to imovie and they are ready to go. I hope this helps.

  • My Mozilla toolbar was messed up and I managed to get it back how I like it and shut it down. When I used my PC the next day ALL my years of bookmarks are gone!

    I accidentally messed up how my Mozilla toolbar looks. After hours of searching on how to put it back I did what the help tab said.
    I continued to use my PC the rest of the day with no issues, especially my bookmarks. I turned the PC off for the night and when I turned it on the next day ALL of my years of bookmarks were gone. I have zero PC savvy and my PC terminology is limited. I literally had years of bookmarks in my folders some I cannot remember where I found them. Can I retrieve them at all? If so, how using basic English and pictures?

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
    *"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
    *View > Toolbars<br>Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    *check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars
    You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • My iPhone 4a keep telling to plug it in to iTunes and restore it I do that and then the next day it ask me to do the same thing what is the problem?

    My iPhone 4a keep telling to plug it in to iTunes and restore it I do that and then the next day it ask me to do the same thing what is the problem?   I need and trouble shoot or some type of solution for this problem.

    If you have restored as new and the device continues to go into restore mode, then it appears you need to make an appointment at the Genius bar as there could be a hardware issue with your device.
    One last question, the phone has not been hacked/jailbroken, has it?

  • I've been trying to make an account with iTunes n everytime I get to the part of the credit card that's as far as I get because I dnt have one, how can I make an iTunes account without a credit card??

    I've been trying to make an account with iTunes n everytime I get to the part of the credit card that's as far as I get because I dnt have one, how can I make an iTunes account without a credit card??

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

  • Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

    Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

    No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    iOS- Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
    Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd & 3rd generation)
    iTunes- Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

  • How can I make unfinished tasks move to the next day in Reminders (as they did prior to Yosemite)?

    With Yosemite's updates, Reminders doesn't wrap unfinished tasks to the next day. Previously, if I didn't check off a task on one day, it wrapped to the next day. Now, they just stay on the original day, causing me to not see that I haven't finished something! If I look at them in Scheduled view, unfinished tasks list under today (this is the view like that of iPad and iPhone Reminders). When looking at tasks in the one-day-at-a-time view, unfinished tasks from previous days disappear. How do I make them appear without having to change all the dates each day? This is an "update" that creates a problem rather than fixes one.

  • I turned off my fire vault by accident and is there a way to stop it from decrypting cause that is going to take a long time and i want to keep my hard drive encrypted

    I turned off my fire vault by accident and is there a way to stop it from decrypting cause that is going to take a long time and i want to keep my hard drive encrypted.
    is there a way to stop it in the middle so it does not go through the whole process

    It's called, "FileVault." If there is no option to stop the process, then the best bet would be to wait until decrypting is finished. Otherwise you run the risk of borking the whole thing. It's hard to imagine how you can accidentally turn off FileVault.
