I lost most of my bookmarked websites when firefox updated a few months ago. Why did this happen?
I had many websites bookmarked and could access them several months ago on firefox. However, recent updates does not show most of my bookmarks now?
If the developers knew why ''stuff'' like that happened, they would fix the cause. Lost bookmarks is why the developers created an internal bookmark backup system 5 years ago; if a users bookmarks get lost, the user can restore a bookmarks backup file from up to 5 days before the loss happened. And because some users were too slow to seek support or were too slow to recover those backups within 5 days, the developers doubled the number of saved bookmark backups to 10 days worth in Firefox 4.0.

What update? There was nothing released yesterday relating to iCloud.
Where have you lost your contacts from? Your computer, your phone, iCloud.com?
If they are no longer in any of those places, you'll need to restore them from your most recent backup. -
I have my ipad notes linked to gmail and suddenly disappeared when I put the sim card into a new iphone, the funny thing is that almost all disappeared except 4 and with different dates up to two years. Why did this happen? No way to recover them?
Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off. -

Also, I cannot get my Iphone calendar to show all my outlook calendar events from my PC. How to get this to work?What were you syncing them with? They are meant to be synced with a contact manager on your computer, or a cloud service.
If you were not syncing them to anything, they're gone. -

Why won't my macbook air turn on completly just at the start up page and under the apple logo there's a bar that just loads and when its done loading the Mac just powers off this just happens over and over I'm afraid if I do any thing my pictures will be lost on the computer ???
Hi jasonfromforthworth,
Thanks for the question. If you have updated to Yosemite, then the Apple Logo with the status bar is the expected behavior for when the computer starts up. However, the powering off is not supposed to be happening ... so here are some steps to take if your MacBook Air won't turn on.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Starting up in Safe Mode
Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1367
This article discusses what to do if your Mac won't turn on. To differentiate this from a display issue, be sure that when you press the power button:
You don't hear a startup chime.
You don't hear any fan or drive noise.
There is no video on your built-in or external display
If your computer has power but doesn't display any video, it may have one or more of these similar symptoms when you press the power button:
You may hear a startup chime.
You may hear fan or drive noise.
You may see a light from the Sleep LED (if your Mac has one).
Pressing the Caps Lock key on the keyboard causes it to light.
If any of these display-related conditions occur, see Troubleshooting: My computer has no video instead. Otherwise, continue with this article.
If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
Reset the SMC.
If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).

when I updated my Apple tv it now shows about 10 computers on my network which I only have one tv...how do I get rid of the other "computers" listed as they are all the same, this was not happening before I updated the Apple TV
It looks to be a bug. A reboot to computer and/or Apple TV may resolve it.
You can provide feedback to Apple and file a report.

I had a lot of valuable bookmarks and then when I upgraded recently, they all disappeared. I read the directions about how to find them, but it didn't work. My son told me just to never upgrade and that's what I'm going to do in the future. It's very upsetting to upgrade and have things just disappear.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

i was able to bookmark a web page and add it to "personals" files and open a folder where i wanted the bookmark to be even add a bookmark to my tool bar so I could get to a web page , Now I cant even bookmark a page?
Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

I am going under Tools and Options, then Advanced -> Network -> Settings and changing the automatic configuration script for my work network. When I hit OK everything works. But when I close out Firefox, and then reopen it at a later time, it does not save the setting change I made and I have to do it all over again. This is also happening when I change my home page information as well...

I had my homepage set to my business website. It has been set this way for several months. Today, after starting up my computer and opening the Firefox browser, my homepage was reset to "www.sweetpacks-search.com/?barid=&src=97&". Also, any new tabs I opened were set to the same address.
Hello lloydla, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/ SearchReset] add-on, the add-on only run once resets your search preferences and home page to their default values, and then uninstalls itself.
thank you -
