I've made a backup of my profile folder and everything was restored, except my passwords.

I've made a manual backup of my profile folder, as I usually do, but when I replaced the folder, my saved passwords weren't restored... I've been reading some articles and realised that the .sqlite file is missing from my original folder...

The items you are missing are not included in the backup. They get synced to the iPod from the iTune library during a latter stage of the update. It appears that the items were not in the iTunes library.

Hello purpleroses68
To download any photos that were on your My Photos Stream, then you will need to have Photo Streamed turned on within your computer. Keep in mind that My Photos Stream only holds the last 30 days of photos and those will be the only one that will download. Check out the articles below for more information for the process and general information about getting your photos downloaded.

I got a new iphone 6. When I restore my phone from my icloud backup my most recent photos and messages not restored from icloud backup. How do I get the most recent backup onto my new phone?

Hello, Anita.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup. This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6. Try going through the steps in the article below.
iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes

Want to manually backup my "BLM Data" folder and include the Firefox 3.6.16 "profile folder" in the "BLM Data" folder for easier backup; question was already asked but answer only gives 404 error

Sorry, I don't know what BLM is, but here's the instructions for backing up your Profile folder. <br />

Missing profiles folder and files

Hi all,
I had the damn "snap-do" malware on my Firefox, so I tried uninstalling FF completely and then re-installing it to fix the problem... but that just led to the issue of Firefox now not being able to find my old profile.
I am currently getting the error message;
"Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
I know there are plenty of other threads regarding this issue but they all point to the direction of creating a new profile using the following method: "Launch the Run dialog box, type in: firefox.exe -p ...".
When I try this though I get the same error as before.
In short, I absolutely cannot find the "profile.ini" file, and am assuming it no longer exists on my system.
Can anyone help?

Hello,
Reinstalling Firefox doesn't normally solve anything, as most problems are confined to the profile. You can use the Reset Firefox feature instead, which preserves essential data like bookmarks and passwords.
* [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
# Press the Windows logo orb on the taskbar to bring up the Start Menu.
# In the search box, type the following then press Enter: '''%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\'''
# In the Windows Explorer window that opens, you should see the ''profiles.ini'' file.
# If the file is missing, you can create it manually in Notepad. The contents should look something like the following, substituting the example profile folder name with your actual profile folder name.
<pre><nowiki>[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/2htx1693.default</nowiki></pre>

My contacts suddenly disappeared from my iphone 6,i dont have a backup on icloud i think,but i have a backup on my computer ,so i made the backup i saw the contacts and then they disappeared again .i need help?

i cant restore my contacts from computer or icloud ?they disappear when i restore

HI
I contacted Apple & did as below as advised & I got my contacts back.
Before I started I made sure that I had a Icloud backup for my IPhone ( which was before the problem started ).[ Settings > ICloud > Backup. ]
IPhone reset - by 'Erase all contents & settings...
after the phone starts, choose to restore from Icloud backup.. & choose the Backup you think is without the issue.
VERY IMPORTANT.. Once the phone restores from the backup & the Home screen comes, put the phone in Airplane mode Immediately.
Now go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts OFF. ( Keep the contacts )
Now OFF the Airplane mode & go to settings > Icloud > put the contacts ON & select Merge.
I got all my contacts back which was there until that Backup.
Thanks again - Apple support.

Restoring a profile backup Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click Exit Close 29 If your existing profile folder and profile backup folder hav

Re the instructions above, if I click on the exit button, Firefox closes. What do I do next?????
Sorry, but this doesn't appear to be able to give instructions to novice users, HELP,
Before I close FF, and, once again lose all my information, please answer me!! This is not easy for a novice. I have been working on this problem for 3 hours now....
I have backed up my profile to a USB stick, AND put a shortcut to it on the desktop.
I am running WIN XP PRO V5.12600 SP 3.0 32 bit. on a desktop computer, and no I cannot afford to get a fancy new computer as I am on a fixed pension, (and have a large rent, and no, I cannot move. Any more judgmental issues?)
Sorry to come across as a bit paranoid, but these are the things so called intelligent people do say to me.....sigh....Not doubting yourself in any way, but you would be surprised what some of your volunteers infer in their answers.
I am not stupid, just not as educated as you in the programming & fixing of Computers. Please be patient with me....
Kind regards
Sylvia

Oh wait, upon second reading: image uploading was broken, and it works now. But you want to recovery some information that was lost in the Refresh? Is that the situation?

HT1199 I needed to restore my Imac (lion) from a Time Machine backup on a peripheral HD. Everything woirked fine except none of my Pictures showed up and my TM backups were all erased. Any way to recover??

I need to perform a complete restore of my IMac from a stand-alone HD Time Machine backup. The restore was to the internal HD in the IMac. The IMac is a new Intel i5 unit running Lion. The restore went fine except none of my picture files appeared. My external HD is partioned into a Time Machine Back Up and a Stoarge partion. All the TM back ups prior to the restore are gone and the external storage was wiped clean. 3000 photos from our African Safaris are gone. Any ideas on if they can be recovered from either the external storage drive or the internal HD?
Where did the older TM BUs go?
Thanks for any advise

Hello:
I don't know what you did, but there must have been some option to clear the external HD. To my knowledge, restoring from a Time Machine backup will NOT clear the external HD.
Since I was not there, I really cannot speculate on what happened:

In any event, there are third party tools that will attempt to recover data from erased drives (the erase normally deletes pointers, not the actual data).

Laptop died. Had backup of ITunes Media Folder but now cant restore music to Ipod after ios5 upgrade!

Hi guys. My laptop died a week ago and I managed to get the Itunes Media Folder copied off hard drive before it completely died. Since then, loaded Itunes on my main PC for first time (ios5), authorised it and then pointed iTunes at the Itunes Media Folder. Since trying to sync my Ipod Touch (which effectively had to be overwritten) I've noticed that most of my music on the iPod Touch is Greyed out. Majority of the music was from Amazon and purchased CD's imported to Itunes. All plays OK on iTunes but Ipod wont play 'em.
Any ideas guys? Tried syncing about 8 times now. Real pain in the bum!

I am getting a bit lost on what was done and exactly why you did it that way. It looks to me like you use iTunes with standard preferences settings and you didn't so much move your media folder to the external drive as your whole iTunes library (everything in the top level folder including all the media files). This should have been done simply by copying the iTunes folder from the old drive to the new one, renaming the AllMyiTunesMusic folder if you so desire, then starting iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and selecting that folder as the iTunes library to now start using. Apart from the copy time when you could go away and drink a pot of coffee the actual labor time would be about 2 minutes. I think you must have done something different which has kind of messed up your library and resulted in duplication of files. Some of those folders such as Movies and the neighboring Music folder should be in the media folder, but don't move things about in Finder or iTunes may lose track of them and things will get worse. If you can go back and do things properly then I recommend you do so, otherwise we can see what we can work with here.

My iphone backup was accidentaly deleted and iphone was restored

Please help, everything is lost on my phone

Hi, i have a second hand iphone 4s and i made a AppleID and everything was ok, but when I turn on the icloud, i write the appleID and the password but then appears a error message saying: "This iPhone has been activated the maximum number of accounts"

Help me how can i put/activate my icloud account

If you are getting that message you will not be able to create a new iCloud account on your phone because the maximum number of accounts has alread been created. Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account using a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

My iPhone 4s battery lasts me about half a day with just light normal use. I can watch my battery drain just looking at the home screen. I made sure all my settings were right and everything. I'm very annoyed!

I can watch my battery drain 1 percent every 3 minutes with it just sitting on the home screen. I've adjusted all the settings location, brightness wifi ect. I am very annoyed!

I run XP SP2 and have just installed FF 4 over my old FF2. After installation, a part of my bookmarks has disappeared. Prior to installing FF4 I had made a copy of my FF profile folder. How can I retrieve my missing bookmarks ?

It seems as if FF4 had gone back to what my bookmarks' list was over a year ago or so ...

Did you ever used a Firefox 3 version with that profile folder?
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+3+upgrade+switches+bookmarks+and+other+settings+to+older+version
If you have done that then Firefox 4 will have found and used the places.sqlite file from that installation.<br />
You can delete places.sqlite in the profile folder and all .json backups in the bookmarkbackups folder to make Firefox import the bookmarks from the file bookmarks.html<br />
Move the old bookmarks-xxxx-xx-xx.html backups in the bookmarkbackups folder from Firefox 2 to another location in case you need them.

I just bought a MBP after my PC crashed. How do I set up my itunes library on my new Mac? I do not have a backup drive, and I was unable to recover anything from the trashed PC drive. Can the library be rebuilt/restored??

Finally made the switch from PC to Mac, after my PC crashed and burned. I Do not have a backup on an external drive, and I was unable to recover any data from the trashed PC hard drive.
Can I download my library, or is there a way to get my itunes content on my new Macbook Pro? I have almost 10 years of music and stuff on my iTunes, so I really hope there is a fix!
Thanks!

No backup is a huge mistake.
