I lost my back up option when leaving lightroom 5

I had my external drive hooked up to the computer-didnt have the catalog setting to back up to external hard drive. Lightroom backed up to hard drive. When I tried to set lightroom to back up to external drive,window would not pop up to choose drive, and when I left lightroom it did not ask me to back up.

I would have thought the benefit was obvious. User choice. I can choose to clear the default backups at my own choosing.
The problem with backing up directly to an external hard drive is that they are more prone to failure than internal hard drives. I speak from experience.
If you set preferences to always back up to an external drive, you would be better to keep an extra copy on another external drive, a DVD disk or thumb drive. Then you won’t be left high and dry.
Lightroom has always been designed to provide “double indemnity” which is why users can save metadata to file/XMP in addition to the catalog.

I have lost my back/forward option along with my bookmarking and have lost my complete list of bookmarks. I am unable to import them back. How can I correct this?

I erased some games and lost the back/forward option. I then upgrades firefox and lost all of my bookmarks and the bookmark option won't let me add on new bookmarks. I have gone to several troubleshooting pgs and still unable to resolve the problem. When I start firefox, it tells me I can't bookmark because of security blocking it.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I HAVE LOST THE "CLOSE TAB" OPTION WHEN CLOSING A SCREEN THE SYSTEM WILL ONLY CLOSE BACK TO THE DESKTOP? RUSS

Hi,
When closing a screen I have, in the past, used the File button [top left] this produced the drop down menu, there was the option to "CLOSE TAB", which I used, this closed the screen but left Firefox open, this option has now disappeared, the only way I can close a screen now is to exit back to the Desktop and reopen Firefox.

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response, unfortunately whilst the solution you proposed works on most tabs when I am down to the last one absolutely nothing I do will get rid of it, at present I cannot close the Mozilla Add-ons Manager tab. I have tried your suggestion followed by clicking the cross in the top right of the screen, I have also tried File and then exit. But when I next click onto the Mozilla icon it returns to the last tab shown on the screen.

Hey Piyush Buddy, where were you since my morning !!! :-) :-) :-) Your simple question here made me realize where did I make the slip of my brain and now all the desired buttons are appearing on my screen.
I just made simple parameter changes called View -> Pods -> Single Source Layouts -> Right Click On Microsoft HTML Help -> Setted as Primary Layout (earlier my Primary Layout was setted up for Multiscreen HTML 5).
THANKS GALORE Piyush buddy - Your simple question to me made a mammoth and galores of help to get my train on track.

HT1766 I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not callme or want to return the phone

I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not call me or want to return the phone. I went to icloud but it only govers me options to increase storage from my iPhone or a synced computer (mac or PC).

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

Lost Garageband and other apps when hardrive was replaced. How can I get them back?

I lost a few mac apps when I had to have my harddrive replaced..........since it went out and it was under a factory recall. And when they replaced it they couldn't get everything off the hard-drive. So is there a way I can get the apps back.

There are several ways to get those iLife and other App's from your original Disc Set.
1. May or may not be an option, but at least get an estimate to replace your Optical SuperDrive from the local Apple Store or AASP.
> Apple - Find Locations
2. Buy a Mac compatible External DVD Drive.

> OWC Drive Solutions
> LaCie
3. Disk Sharing.

HT4859 I lost some of my books when I restored my iPad how do I get them back?

lost some of my books when I restored my iPad how do I get them back?

You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

When closing multiple tabs, is there any way to get back the option of saving those tabs OR NOT for your next session, within the warning dialogue box itself?

For brief period of time, not in FF4, there was the option whereby when I closed multiple tabs, a firefox dialogue box opened warning me that I'm about to close multiple tabs, '''AND ALSO''' asking me if wanted to save those tabs for my next session, or trash them.
The primary issue IS NOT about saving tabs. The primary question here is about getting THE OPTION back to the CLOSING MULTIPLE TABS WARNING DIALOGUE.
The use case here should be obvious. However, since it is clearly not obvious that different people work in a variety of ways, and neither of those methods of working is "wrong" or "right" I will elaborate: Some people, for whatever reason, it doesn't matter why, want to save all their tabs on some occasions, and on other occasions don't.
This preference varies throughout the day. Therefore it is inefficient to constantly go to preferences and change whether or not I want firefox to open all my tabs from my last session. It is more LOGICAL to place an option in the multiple tab warning dialogue as well, for people whose preference constantly changes.
This option was available for a time in most of the Firefox 3 versions. Is there any way to get back this option in Firefox 4?

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no need for asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.

No Back Ups when Syncing and "Back Up" options VANISHED from iTunes menu!

iTunes 8.2.1
iPhone 3GS 3.0.1
My iphone used to back up every single time it synced. Now, not only won't it do so, but right clicking on the iphone icon in the itunes contextual menu no longer even shows "back up" as an option.
Deleted the backups in the preferences window (there were two) as a post somewhere else online suggested this would "force" a backup during the next sync, but it still won't back up.
Before deleting the backups there was a "restore from back up" option in the menu, now there is no mention of back ups whatsoever.
About a week or so ago, during a sync I manually quit a backup since i was in a rush (just adding a few apps) and I've read that is always an option if you need a speedy sync. Since my iphone was often synced a dozen plus times a day, I didn't think anything of missing one backup.
Not sure if that's what caused the behavior but I'm guessing it started around that time since the most recent dated backup I saw before deleting them was from over a week ago.
Have rebooted and tried hard reset. Have restarted iTunes and my computer. Still no back up.
Have also tried connecting and disconnecting with "automatically sync when this iphone is connected" both on and off, with no effect on backing up either way.
Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated! I hate going without a backup altogether. Thanks!

If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

Photoshop CS6 is not responding when leaving PS and coming back again

A weired problem: My new installation of Photoshop CS6 (OS X Mavericks on a new MBP) is not responding when leaving PS and coming back again.
Example: i open a new file in PS - then i click on the desktop - when i go back to PS again, it is not responding to any click on any window (except for the menu bar).
I can solve the problem when i try going back several times or when i go back to PS via the icon in the dock.
But it is still very annoying in a quick workflow.
I would appreciate any idea what i can check more, cause i tried everything and i can’t find this issue on the web…
Thanks…

Problem solved… The troublemaker was the Trackball Works Driver for Kensington trackballs / Expert Mouses…
I’m now using a generic driver for USB devices and everything is fine.
