I Upgraded to 10 5.6, then ugraded to firefox 4.0.1. All my old data is gone.

I seem to have lost everything in my address book and other files I had on my desktop. Where did they go and can I get them back?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • I want to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion, do I have to back up all my personal data??

    I am wondering that in order to upgrade from mac os lion to mac os mountain lion do I need to back up my personal data, or upgrading will start my mac from 0 ?? Please help,I've been putting this on hold for not having a back up disk =(

    Upgrading your Mac will preserve all your user data and settings.
    That said, it is never good to be w/o a backup. So make one now. Use TIme Machine or
    SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.

  • Can I retrieve bookmarks from an older Firefox version to insert them into the current version? I was running Mac OS 10.4?(Tiger) but upgraded to 10.6.8; then I loaded Firefox 9.0.1 & discovered that I'd lost my bookmarks.Help please.

    The OS upgrade was done by a technician so no issues there. I uploaded the current Firefox without saving my old bookmarks. I remember now that previous FF upgrades progressed without bookmark problems. Is the current problem to do with the new OS? Not certain of the correct OS number but it was Tiger; also not certain of the correct FF number but it was the most appropriate one for Tiger. Again, please help.
    Thanks very much.

    Not unless they were saved somewhere on your computer. You can check the Time Machine if that storage has been used and wasn't reset as well.

  • Starts to load homepage, then Windows message: "Firefox has stopped working" All this after a Firefox update

    Directly after an update, Firefox will no longer start. It begins to load my homepage, then fades away with the Windows message "Firefox has stopped working"
    Looking at Norton security history, I see it blocked plugin-container.exe about the time the update was being downloaded.

    I don't know if this is exactly the same problem, but here's what happened to me:
    One day when I opened Firefox I got a prompt for updates. I got upgraded to version 3.6.16. That was over a week ago. This morning, I opened Firefox, got a prompt for updates, clicked ok, and I ended up upgrading again to 3.6.16. Norton gave me a notification about some file being used by fewer than 100 people and having "medium risk", but I wasn't able to take any action, just read.
    Once that upgrade went through every time I tried to open Firefox, it'd pop up, I'd click no to "Do you want Firefox to be your default browser" and then it'd go white and freeze up. I'd get a message from Windows that there's a problem, Firefox has stopped working, it will be closed. No information was sent regarding the problem.
    When I'd open Firefox I'd see two tabs: one about the upgrade to 3.16.6 along with an invitation to upgrade to version 4, and another being my homepage to yahoo.com.
    I also have Internet Explorer, so I opened that, went to Firefox's website and downloaded version 4. So far that has taken care of the problem~I can use Firefox again.
    However, I did have a couple small difficulties while downloading version 4. Right off it would not immediately start running. That was blocked by my Norton. So I had to click on "click here". Also during the process I got a message about two add-ons being incompatible, so they were disabled, and no updates could be found. They were: Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1. and Norton Toolbar 4.6.
    I worried it was a virus but it seems like more of a compatibility problem involving maybe Norton? I have the 2010 version and haven't upgraded to Norton 2011 yet.
    Anyway, like I said, so far version 4 is working fine, but I thought I'd pass on the incident.

  • I tried to make another account on my school Macbook Pro, made the Admin, account with the same name as the one I was using, deleted it and then all my desktop data is gone.

    So, the problem is,
    I used these school Macs right? They're school handed and stuff. Then one day I decided I want admin so I do this thing where I "reset" everything on the Macbook using this Video (at the bottom) http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-a-Lost-Admin-Password-on-Mac-OS-X
    Then I do it, it takes me to the new User. That's not what I want so I shut down, then made an account with the same name as my current account (let's call it Y). Then I delete Y on purpose. I deleted it because I didn't want my school to know I had this account. Realise I wanted it again so I made an account, let's call it X then when I have X I deleted Y. Then I realised my AirDrop name said X so then I made a new account, this time let's call it Z, with Z I delete X and then I deleted Z because I don't want my school to know I have Z but then Z is also the same name as my main/current account. Somehow or something I delete my current account leaving me with Z. Now I can see my account and stuff but don't know how to restore it.
    Picture will be provides later.
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME. I HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW AND I DON'T WANT MY PARENTS TO FIND OUT.

    It is a bad idea to hack computer passwords when you don't own the computer
    Good luck with the school and the parents.

  • Deleted contacts from iphone 4s, loaded new contacts from to phone from .csv file.  then I enabled icloud and it put all my old contacts back.

    My wife and I both have Iphones.  For the past 18 months her phone and mine had the same appleID (mine).  When I set up iCLoud backups and synch a month ago, my wifes phone ended up with all my contacts (1400+) and her's (<100) mixed together.  Didn't bother me, but drover her wild trying to find 'her' contacts.
    Oviously she needed to have her own appleID on her phone.
    After a lot of googling around I found the "Import Export Contacts" app.  It works great.  I opens a Service to a browser screen on a computer and can upload/download to/from the phone.
    I downloaded my copy of the combined contact list.  I found her's reletively easily by sorting on 'date changes' column. 
    On her phone I deleted the contact file. and set up her own appleID
    I created a .csv with her contacts only and moved it into her phone. then set up the phone to manage contacts in the icloud properties screen.
    All her (and my) contacts came back.  I thought when I deleted the contacts on her phone, the iclud synch woudl deleted them on icloud and then when I loaded ne contaces on her phone it would sych with icloud and all woudl be right with teh world.
      What can I do next?  I can give her her phone with her old contacts and not backup with icloud, but then she could lose her

    If you don't have a backup of the newer information then you don't

  • I have an iphone 3GS while on itunes it asked me if I wanted an update,it downloaded and then asked me if I wanted to remove my old data to replace it with the new.I agreed and it removed everything and left me with nothing all.What to do??

    How do I get my data back off my computer into my iphone?And how do I find it?I'm technologically deficient!!

    Restore from the backup created when the upgrade took place.  This should have been part of the upgrade process.
    Did the upgrade actually complete?
    Sounds like you simply restored as "new" when you should have been restoring from your backup.

  • When I deleted and then recreated the same account all the emails are now gone. Where did they go?

    I was having problems with getting mail from my verizon email account. Suddenly stopped working when checking mail. Sending was fine. No server settings were changed. So as a last try before the nightmare of finally giving up on them I deleted the account and then set it up again. I now get the emails but all the old ones are gone. Where did they go?
    I've read all the posts about the verizon smtp ssl issues but this (the missing emails that were alreadiny in thunderbird) seems to be a TB question.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

  • I am running version 10.7.5 on my MacBook Pro. Can I upgrade irectly to Mavericks or do I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion first, then Mavericks

    I am running version 10.7.5 on my MacBook Pro. can I upgrade directly to Mavericks or do I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion first, then Mavericks?

    As long as your MacBook Pro is in the ML compatible list, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs it is compatible with Mavericks and you can go directly to Mavericks.

  • HELP!! i have a ton of videos of my boys stored in iPhoto..They played fine on my old OSX system (leopard).  However, I just upgraded to snow leopard and then to mountain lion and now i can't open my videos at all anymore.  HELP!!

    HELP!! i have a ton of videos of my boys stored in iPhoto..They played fine on my old OSX system (leopard).  However, I just upgraded to snow leopard and then to mountain lion and now i can't open my videos at all anymore.  HELP!!

    Can you tell us about one or more of the video files - what are they?  QuickTime?  MP4?  Something else?  How did you create the video files in the first place?
    I do a lot of video and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I discovered that many of the QT videos that I had created previously (via iMovie & Final Cut) would not play correctly in QuickTime X - the bizarre behavior was that QT X acted as if my video files were only audio files!  I reported this to Apple at the time but never heard anything back, and there hasn't been any change in later updates to QT X.
    The solution was to (re)install QuickTime 7.  But first look in your Applications > Utilities folder.  When you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, the installer normally moves the old QT 7 program to your Utilities folder.  If it's there, try using QT 7 to play one of your video files.    If QT 7 is not there, you can download and install it from here  Make sure you are running at least OS X 10.6.3 before you install QT 7.  It's even better if you make sure you are running 10.6.8 which was the last release of Snow Leopard.

  • HT6012 I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie.  Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes.  What do I do?

    I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie.  Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes.   Also to compound the situation everytime I attempt to share to iDVD or iTunes, iMovie quits unexpectedly.    What do I do?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • If I upgrade my iOS from 5.1 to 6.0 then do I have to upgrade my Xcode also? So my question is all my old Xcode project which I have tried with Xcode 4.3.2 will be still there because I do not want to destroy them.

    I have xcode 4.3.2 and  iOS simulator Version 5.1 (272.21). But this course is on iOS 6. If I upgrade my iOS from 5.1 to 6.0 then do I have to upgrade my Xcode also? So my question is all my old Xcode project which I have tried with Xcode 4.3.2 will be still there because I do not want to destroy them.
    I have a MacBook Pro (Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b). Please let me know about upgrading iOS version so that I will be able to do the class project.

    To program for iOS 6, you need iOS 6 SDK. You need to download Xcode 4.5.x. But don't worry. All your previous projects are still alive and you are able to open them in the new Xcode.
