I recently downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.8 and all of my bookmarks disappeared. How do I get them back?
I recently installed Firefox 3.6.8 on my computer and had to reboot. When I did the reboot, all of my bookmarks had disappeared, all 30-40 of them. How can I get them back. Some are very difficult to get and almost impossible to find again. I am using a Dell with windows XP.
Try the procedures in the [[lost bookmarks]] article.

like roaminggnome said you should see your contacts again once you sync with iTunes. if you used iCloud before, make sure contact sync is turned on and your contacts should be back.

All my apps on my ipod are fine, but when I connected my ipod to my computer, opened up itunes to look at my old apps that were on my computer, they were all gone... How do I get them back?
Connect the iPod, open iTunes, right click the iPod name in the sidebar and choose "Transfer purchases".

Firefox updated and erased all of my bookmarks. How do I get them back?
The bookmark menu is the same, but all of them are gone. Firefox created another folder on my desktop, but it's all in code, and I have no clue what is in there or how to get it back on this version.
This is my same identical problem, but the "solution" is WAY to complicated for me to even begin to do it safely without messing things up even more. PLEASE give more info about how to do this!
HELP. All of my bookmarks were deleted. All of my defaults changed. All of my "new tab tiles" were replaced by Mozilla's tiles. This REALLY SUCKS. PLEASE HELP ME GET BACK TO MY OLD NORMAL !
PS: I do have a new file on my desktop labled "Old Firefox Files." There is a folder called bookmarkbackups and in it are 15 blank bookmarks icons (a small fraction of what I used to have). One example of a bookmark is "bookmarks-2015-02-12_394_W+M7xv5egtzLnoMxKYZPLg==.jsonlz4"
I have no clue what to do with this file to get that particular bookmark back, or where to find the rest of them. PLEASE HELP.

Chosen solution
Did you reset Firefox and create a new profile and did Firefox create and "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop with the content of the old profile?
If your bookmarks didn't make it to the new profile then check if there are JSON backups (.json or compressed .jsonlz4 files) in the bookmarkbackups folder.
You may have to delete the places.sqlite file and restore a JSON backup in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).

Version 3.6.6 got hung up. A friend of mine looked at it and told me it was because of 2 of my favorite toolbars. He uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and it was still the toolbars. So he downloaded version 3.5, but it would only let me have my toolbars in 'safe mode' Now as a result of that, I have lost all of my book marks, and it will not book mark any new pages. Good thing I also have IE 8 . . . LOL How do I get my book marks back?

Every time Firefox openedYou really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system. These can automatically back up only what's changed since the previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
#27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too. -

I had to refresh my laptop and all my apps were removed how do i get them back?
I have a Pavilion dv6-7010us Entertainment PC -- operating system Windows 7 -- upgrading to windows 8 when the laptop would not update -- kept stalling at 12% -- said the D:windows\system32\log files\srt\srt trail.txt was missing -- refreshed the computer to look for file and all my apps were removed. Now my computer does not do all the special things it did when I first brought it.
Have you tried performing a system recovery to a date before this issue happened?

Help with Mountain Lion and Mail
Hi Anitra,
Did you updated from OSX Lion to Mountain Lion? And iPhoto was installed on your Mac? Then iPhoto and the Library must still be on your Mac.
Go to finder and slect 'Applications'. iPhoto must be in that folder. Open iPhoto. See what happens. Are all your pictures/events displayed?
If not, please reply and we will try to locate the iPhoto Library. -

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.

I PURCHASED RINGTONES ON MY IPHONE 4S BEFORE I EVEN PLUGGED INTO ITUNES THEN I PLUGGED IT IN FOR THE FIRST TIME AND RINGTONES HAVE DISSAPEARED FROM PHONE HOW DO I GET THEM BACK?
Try restoring from the backup created at the beginning of the sync process:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears on the left sidebar in iTunes
Select Restore from backup, choosing your most recent backup to restore from
Disconnect your phone and confirm that your photos are back
Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing. -
After I upgraded to Firefox 5 my bookmarks disapeared, how do I get them back? Thank you
After I upgraded to Firefox 5 my bookmarks disapeared, how do I get them back? Thank you
Thanks, Huntress, but it's not in More either. I'm talking about the genius button/atom icon that used to appear in the center/top part of the screen while a song plays in the music player, like in this image (I used to be able to tap the atom icon to create a genius playlist on my iphone):
Now, when I play a song, there is no atom icon/genius button like in the following image. I've already tried tapping where it used to be and it doesn't come back. -
Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?
Generally speaking, your bookmarks are private to your computer, and if you set up multiple Firefox profiles on your computer, to the one profile.
Your bookmarks might be available to you at another location if you used the Sync service. In order to connect a new computer to the Sync service when you aren't near your old computer, you need a recovery key. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-bookmarks-tabs-and-more-your-other-computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
If you didn't use Sync or can't access your account, someone with access to your old computer could email you your bookmarks. Since there is a range of different ways to do that and the best choice might depend on what you can expect the person you ask to be able to do... could they start up Firefox in your profile and follow menu steps to export a file? Could they drill down into a hidden folder on the system, zip a file, and mail that to you? Etc.
