I recently up-graded to Firefox 4.0 and now I have lost all of my settings at the top of the page. I need my hotmail and muy bookmarks etc back like they were. I no longer have aol but can't seem to get away from it. Help....Marilyn

All of my settings have changed at the top of my page since I up-graded to Mozilla 4.0. How do i recover everything? Even my hot-mail and bookmark bars are gone. Help

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

    HI Friend,
    I think Gift Cards found in iTunes can help you. You can give her a Gift Card as the same value as the app and then she can buy by herself.
    PS.: I never made it before, so please have a look about this in iTunes for further information before the purchasing.
    Hope it will be helpful

    Not sure when mobile me changed, but it was this weekend that my storage etc. lapsed (I have paid to keep storage with icloud). So i assume this has something to with it stopping.

  • HT1277 I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

    I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

    I meant that I sign out, sign back in ok. Ergo, I know my password. Someone here on the support page  (you?) told me the culprit is the 2 step verification process which I had on. That makes a lot of sense as Apple mail won't get a code thereby jamming up the process. I could not even start a new account until I took that 2 step process off. Everything fine now thank you.

    I have the iphone 5s and I am trying to sync my music from itunes on my desktop, but can't seem to do it, any suggestions??

    Make sure you have selected to sync your entire library, or have checked the songs you want to sync.  This might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351

  • I have recently found out about the recall on the nano version1 which I have. I can't seem to get anywhere on the apple site to sort it. It is a plastic front and metal back ipod. Can anyone put me in the right direction to sort out. Thanks

    I have been passed from pillar to post by apple to find out if my nano version1 is on the recall list. But as of yet I still can not find or get a answear. Can any one help me out please.

    Many thanks. I have used this link all week a few times a day and once I have put in all the details etc and press submit I just keep getting a error on this link message. I have been to customer support and redirected to a Greek site then a Dutch site!!! Strange but true. I have also gone to the support link for my registered products clicked on the iPod nano I have and the support says it is out of support and I would need to pay xxxx to have a new warranty. I know this but the nano will be sorted outside of the warranty if it is one that has the faulty battery. So where do I go now. Arrrrr I thought this would be so simple. Thanks anyway.

  • Had cloud installed on two, now just have one, but can't install on a new computer

    I had Adobe Cloud installed on both my home and work computers. No problem.
    I no longer work at the same place, and I'm pretty sure my everything was clear off my work computer when I left. At my new place of employment, I tried to install Adobe Cloud on my new computer, but got a message that I already have it installed in two places. The only option I could find was to uninstall it on "both" computers. I really don't want to uninstall it on my home computer and then reinstall it again. Do I have another option? How can I deactivate the account on the work computer I  now longer have access to? (where I'm pretty sure it no longer exists anyway)

    Hi rdiane111,
    With respect to deactivating the product on the prev two computers, i would like you to try and activate the product on a third machine and wait for the message that pops up saying that you have reached your limit for activation . At that screen, you will find the information related to deactivating the prev two installations by clicking on Continue . This step would deactivate the product on the prev two machines resetting the counter back to 0 .
    Please let us know if this works fine for you or not ?
    Regards,
    Kartikay Sharma

  • How do I view my iCloud backup?? I have tried for a week and can't seem to get it. Please help!

    I don't understand how I can view my backups.
    Please help! I have lost soooo much from my phone and
    I want to see what I have stored on iCloud. How the heck do
    I do it? Lol It's literally driving me crazy!

    It isn't possible to see the individual files included in your backups if that's what you mean.  You can only see what you have elected to include in the backup (in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage...tap your device under Backups, then look under Backup Options), but not to see the actual data.
    The backup will include (from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519):
    Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemail

  • The new itunes is slow and I can not see my musics anymore. How can I have my musics listed like they were before?

    The new itunes is slow and I can not see my musics anymore. How can I have my musics listed like they were before?

    I have the same problem with new 11.0. Presentation of album data now seems scrambled in 'Album' screen. Instead of albums in alphabetical order with all album tracks I now get albums in the order of the Album Artist. Unless the album artist is EXACTLY the same, the tracks on any one album can be spread all over the screen (hopeless for compilations). Does anbody know how to get the Album screen to sort solely on the Album title?

  • How can I adjust the contrast of video on my MacBook Pro Retina so they don't look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens?

    I'd like to watch movies and TV shows, downloaded from iTunes or Amazon, on my MacBook Pro Retina, but they all look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens. Daytime sequences look muddy, and night time sequences are incomprehensible with anything but the brightest objects rendered as black. I can watch the same files on my old MacBook Air and everything looks right, but no manner of tweaking seems to let me watch movies on my new machine.
    I've tried adjusting the gamma. It's a bit better when gammas is set to 1.0, but I can't seem to set a gamma less than one. I tried using the Accessibility Contrast control, but it just lowers the contrast, swallowing my desktop into the dark abyss. I tried Applecare, but they don't have a clue. I tried the Apple Store. The "genius" confirmed that it is indeed impossible to watch movies shot anywhere but in the brightest sunlight on a MacBook Pro Retina, and it isn't just my machine, but every similar model in the store. He arranged for someone who really understands color profiles to give me a call, but Apple seems to have dropped the ball on this.
    Is there some tool for stretching out the darker grays in Apple video? I don't want calibration. My impression is that my display, like the dozens I checked at the Apple Store are calibrated to make all dimmer grays appear completely black. I want uncalibration so I can actually see what is going on in the movies even if something is in a light shadow or shot at night. Hollywood has lots of trained technicians who can light and shoot night scenes that are quite comprehensible. I've watched a number of such scenes on my old MacBook Air. Now, I'd like to enjoy their artistry on my MacBook Pro Retina.

    http://www.ifixit.com/ has directions for do it yourself.  Also look at PRAM battery instructions, as sometimes this can fix optical drive issues.
    You can get external or internal drives from http://www.macsales.com/
    I also suggest in the future, take care of this problem while it is still under warranty. It may have cost you nothing.

    A 6 year user of Firefox, and all of a sudden you are complaining about the lack of a toll-free telephone support number?
    Mozilla has '''''never''''' provided telephone support, and probably never will due to the cost involved.
    How would they amortize the cost of that type of operation, while providing a free browser to everyone around the globe who uses it?
    If you can figure out a way to do that, I'm sure they would listen to your proposal.

  • HT1391 I've purchased several seasons of a TV show, but instead of having them in seperate folders like they were when I bought them they put them all in one folder. How can I seperate them into seperate folders again?

    I've purchased several seasons of a TV show. But in my iTunes library instead of them being in seperate folders like they were when I purchased them they were put all in the same folder. How can I seperate them again?

    Wow. Okay...
    I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
    My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

    To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
    4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
    I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.
