I need to find where Firefox bookmarks were kept or how to restore them from a Mac Time Capsule.
My Mac died. I got a new one. I installed a new copy of firefox 4 on the new Mac ( MacBook Pro ) I have been manually reinstalling selected data from a backup on a time capsule. I don't know where to find the old Firefox bookmarks, or what they may be called, or what folder they are in. I would love to recover them!

I have a fill Windows back up of my hard disk taken roughly 12 hours before disk failure. I have restored my system but have failed to find my previous bookmarks from my previous version of Firefox. I guess I am asking which folder are they are in the system backup?
All your data such as bookmarks, passwords etc., is contained in a folder called a "Profile". See: [[Profiles]]
You can recover your data from the old one if it's still intact and move it to the new profile. This article explains how to go about it: [[Managing Profiles]] -
I need to move my Firefox bookmarks from one MAC to another. How do I proceed?
I need to move my Firefox bookmarks from my MAC desktop to my MAC laptop. How do I proceed?
If I follow Library ---> Application Support ---> Firefox ---> Profiles ---> kybzbfu0.default ---> bookmarks.html, the bookmarks I find there are outdated. Where could I find the latest bookmarks?[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-bookmarks#w_how-do-i-import-export-or-back-up-bookmarks This article] should help you out.
Let me know :) -
How do I find the directory where my bookmarks are kept using windows explorer?
Neither firefox nor internet explorer work anymore on my administrator account, but internet explorer works on my guest account. Perhaps a virus caused this. But windows explorer works fine. Computer is so fouled up I want to just buy a new one, better and cheaper than fixing the old one.
I need to locate my firefox bookmarks and need to know how to transfer them into the new computer.See:

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

Where do the MEDIA FILES live after I import them from camera to iMovie (Mac Mini OS X 10.9.2)? I need to MOVE MEDIA FILES to external hard drive.
Hello bbryson68,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're wanting to move iMovie project and event data to another drive. I found the following information in the iMovie help that answers your question.
Copy or move projects, events, or clips between libraries or storage devices
Connect a storage device that contains the target library to your Mac, or copy the target library to your Mac.
Choose File > Open Library, and choose an option from the submenu.You can choose from recently opened libraries, locate an existing library on your Mac, or create a new library.The selected library is opened in the Libraries list, with the first event selected and its contents displayed in the browser.
In the Libraries list, select the event that contains the item you want to move or copy.
In the browser, select the item you want to move or copy.Tip: To select multiple clips or projects in the same library, hold down the Command key as you click the items you want to select, or drag a selection rectangle around the items.
Do one of the following:
To move items between events or libraries: Drag the clip or project to another event or library.
To copy items between events or libraries: Option-drag the clip or project to another event or library by first starting to drag and then holding down the Option key as you drag.
Work with multiple libraries

Can't find files after restoring them from Time Machine
Hi!
Yesterday I formated my macbook pro and re-install Mountain Lion. Before that I made a backup using Time Machine.
When I wanted to create full system restore I couldn't do that. Neither using migration assistant neither with Mountain Lion startup disk. But that was yesterday story. I guess I was one of those unlucky guys who can't do a system restore because some strange reason.
So what is the problem today: They someone says that I should enter a time machine and do a restore of a Macintosh HD. Restore of the whole hard disc.
And I did that.
And now I can't find those files on my Macbook. I can see on disk space that they are on the disc but I can't find them.
Is it because of the different user account or something like that?
It would be really great if I could get a full system restore but it would be also great if I could just see all the files that i restored.
THanks for the help guys!That's not the right way to restore. Delete the folder named "Macintosh HD" in the Volumes folder. It will take a very long time.
Most likely, some folders were inadvertently excluded from your backups, and as a result you can't restore your data in Recovery, Setup Assistant, or Migration Assistant.
Starting from a fresh installation of OS X, set up a new administrator account and log in. You should now be able to enter Time Machine and restore your user data from a snapshot.* I suggest you do this in two stages. Quit all applications except the Finder before you begin.
Restore all the visible items at the top level of your home folder.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine and restore all items in the Library folder. Log out and log back in as soon as the restore is complete.
Any other invisible folders or files at the top level of your home folder that you want to preserve will have to be restored separately. For most users, that isn't necessary.
You'll have to reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, or restore them from another kind of backup, if you have one.
You'll have another problem if this is a new computer, or if you erased the startup volume: Time Machine won't continue your previous snapshot series, but will instead try to begin a new one, starting with a full copy of all files. There might not be enough space on your backup volumes for that. There are different ways of dealing with that situation, depending on your needs. The easiest way is to set your backup drives aside, if possible, until you're sure you'll no longer need the data on them, then erase them and start over. Meanwhile start a new backup on one or more empty storage devices. If that solution isn't workable for you, ask for instructions.
*If you don't see any snapshots in Time Machine, exit the time-travel view and then hold down the option key while selecting
Browse Other Backup Disks...
from the Time Machine menu, which has an icon that looks like a clock running backwards. Select the backups of your computer by its previous name. If you don't have the Time Machine menu, open the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked
Show Time Machine in menu bar -
The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?
Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?

I'm guessing something major screwed up and the duplicate somehow got synced to my firefox sync account, and that it's restoring them when I delete the duplicates locally. But I have no idea how to fix it.
This problem has not been solved. For one, I have hundreds, maybe thousands of duplicate bookmarks that I do not want to touch because it would take ages to get rid of them. Second, it keeps duplicating. I'm highly frustrated with Mozilla for not fixing this since it's been going on for almost a year now. How come you people can't create a fix for this? And how come you guys have not made it so all the duplicates get deleted? When will this be fixed?

How to restore Data from past iCloud backup? I lost my spreadsheets from Numbers, need help.
How to restore Data from past iCloud backup?
Is there a way where i can retrieve my spreadsheets from the past iCloud backup of numbers?Your Numbers documents were synced with iCloud so they would be stored on the server rather than being included in the backup. If you were signed into your iCloud account on a Mac that you were backing up with Time Machine, you could restore them from your Time Machine backup.

I'm editing a band by deleting songs I do not like on iTunes on my PC. When I believe I'm deleting a song it ends up deleting ALL of the songs by that band (this is after I've deleted many individual songs sucessfully)! This has happened twice since the new version of iTunes. The first time I tried to restore the songs from my recycle bin but they just vanished when I tried to restore them. The second time (today) the songs were not even in the recycle bin. Has this happened to anyone else out there? I have to now relocate all of those cd's and then reinstall them and go through them and put songs back onto various playlists (I have a lot of them). Hassle!!!
Time you backed up so you can recover in the event of a crisis.

The songs disappeared from two computers and are grayed in on my iphone...I cannot play 192 songs...how to get them back or how to delete them from my phone so I can start over? I do not want icloud...I synced my phone to the computer and everything was fine for awhile...where did the songs go?
Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.
