I've upgraded to Firefox 8.0. I no longer have ANY search engines listed for my search bar.
When I click on the drop down in the search bar, all that's there is "Manage Search Engines" - the Yahoo, Google, etc icons are NOT there. When I select "Mange Search Engines" and bring up the "Search Engines List", NOTHING is listed. There are absolutely no search engines installed - no Yahoo, Google, etc, etc. How do I get them back/installed?
I resolved my issue. Renamed search.sqlite and reinstalled Firefox 9.0.1
All default search engines are now available.

The only options in the search feature (in the top right corner of FF) are Delicious and Norton Safe Search. It's the Google search I'm looking for; it's the only one I ever use.
Thank you, cor-el. Your helpful instructions were far over my head. I ended up downgrading to a previous version of Firefox, and all the browser options returned.
THEN... the Norton went fubar, and we lost use of all browsers; couldn't connect to the Internet at all on that laptop. Ended up pulling out an old one, found a Norton representative who instructed us to download onto a flash drive, and used that to uninstall the Norton. Now we have all browsers working normally, with all search functions intact. -
Ios 5 upgrade lost my backup and i no longer have any purchased apps help?
did the upgrade to the new ios 5 and found it that it could not find my backup that it had made just before the installation...and now that the upgrade is done i have no idea where all my purchased apps went?
Apps are not included in the backup, nor is any itunes content.
You should always make sure that everything is on your computer before updating.
If you have failed to do this, then you will have to redownload. Open itunes store, click Purchased under Quick Links -

Problem with search
After upgrading from 8 to 9.0.1 I no longer have any search engines installed. I would like to install Google as my default search engine. When I click on “get more search engines” I cannot find Google or Bing or …I resolved my issue. Renamed search.sqlite and reinstalled Firefox 9.0.1

For the past few days, each time I open Firefox on my home computer, a popup message is briefly displayed: "Your browser's default search engine is not set to Yahoo! Search. Would you like to set it now? (Yes/No)". After perhaps 15 seconds at most, the popup disappears and my home page appears as normal. I have the Yahoo! Toolbar installed, and Yahoo! Search is the search engine there; however, the search box on the address bar (which allows me to select from several search engines) is normally set to Google. The search engine in the address bar hasn't actually been changed to Yahoo! Search without my consent yet -- I'm just annoyed at getting nagged to change search engines every time I open Firefox. How do I get the "nag" messages to shut up & leave me alone?
I would also note that this is only happening on my home computer (which runs Windows 7), not on my work computer (which runs Windows XP, and which I also normally use Firefox as my browser on, with the same Yahoo! Toolbar + Google search in the address bar setup).
I have run Threat Scans with Malwarebytes (paid version) and a Quick Scan with Avast! (free version), and neither has eliminated this "nag" message from Yahoo! Search.You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8 and I no longer have any of my mail folders in macmail. If I look up an email via spotlight, I can find it, so it's in there. How do I restore my folders?
As an update: I was able to find my archived boxes and emails on my hard drive by doing this:
Open a Finder window.
Select Go | Go to Folder… from the menu.
Type "~/Library/Mail/V2".
Once I was able to get my macmail working properly, most of my mailboxes appeared, however not all and only a few recent emails are in a few of the boxes.
I really need to move the emails from the archive back into my macmail. When I try to import using the mbox method, it doesn't recognize the .mbox even though they are .mbox. Other than re-emailing each individually to myself, I don't know what to do. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to some easier solution? -
i no longer have any of my songs, ringtones, apps, photos etc, on my macbook anymore due to a SSD upgrade. i did not want to back up any files from the old hard drive as some were corrupt and i did not want that to transfer over to my new hard drive so i started from fresh. what i would like to know is, if i now sync my iphone with itunes, am i going to lose all the content on my iphone because there is nothing to sync it with or, will it transfer all the files onto my computer and i will have them again? or is there a way to do that before i sync and lose everything i have gained on the phone?

I'm afraid I'm gonna lose all my music on my Iphone when I unlock it. I have over 4,000 songs in it and they are not backed up on my itunes library (I know, big mistake. I was trying to save space on my hard drive.). Please tell me I won't lose my songs or if I do how do I transfer them back to the Itunes? Is there a good software that can do that hassle free?
Thanks
It's called "iTunes". Connect the phone, but do not sync, when it appears in iTunes choose "transfer purchases..." from the iTunes File menu. -
The Norton Toolbar 4.6 is disabled in Firefox 4 while it is working in previous version of Firefox. In Firefox 4 it opens with massage Norton Toolbar is incompatible in firefox 4. Is this problem have any solution?? pls tell me.
Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

Bus Speed: 667MHz, Boot Rom Version: MBP22 00A5.B07, SMC Version: 1.12f5.10.7.5 is the max for your model. Your mac is one model too old to run anything higher.

I'm referring, of course, to the search bar located next to the URL window; prior to upgrading to the newest FF, I had the capability of choosing from several standard engines and never experienced any problems but following the upgrade, there are no engines available to choose from and I have only been able to find versions of Google search other than the standard one in the available Add-ons I am shown when I go to 'add new search engine' (as there are no engines displayed) via the 'manage search engines' drop down option.
Furthermore, I have downloaded a search engine Add-on numerous times (most often, if not always, Informative Google Search) and it functions just fine, but upon FF restart, its back to having no default engines to choose from.
I have searched Google forever looking for an answer to why this is happening and had no luck with my specific problem, so I've come to where I figured the most savvy FF users dwell - hope you guys got some insight cause it's really pissing me off at this point, hahahaha.See:

I have used Firefox for some time and have enjoyed the bsend a link feature in the File drop dwon menu. Since installing Firefox 4 this feature no longer works. I click the option and nothing happens. In preferences and applications the mailt0 icon on the far left is not as distinct as it was and the option is set to googlemail which is correct. I have an Apple mac and also installed Firefox 4 and send a link works on the mac with no problem!
You can try to delete the file mimeTypes.rdf

Upgraded iPhone 5c to 7.1; no longer have access to free iWork in App Store
Hello!
I recently activated a new 32 Gb iPhone 5c (last Saturday to be exact); a couple of days ago, I launched the App Store for the first time, and was shown a dialog which listed the free programs I could download onto my phone. Because I wasn't near my home Wi-Fi, I selected 'Not Now', which dismissed the dialog; however, I did notice that the iWork programs that were listed (Pages, Keynote, Numbers, etc.) were free.
Since that time, I've updated my iPhone to iOS 7.1; now, when I go back to the App Store to download the iWork apps, I notice that they all cost something (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote costs 9.99 each, iPhoto and IMovie cost 4.99, GarageBand is free).
My question: did I lose eligibility for free iWork because I upgraded iOS? Or am I missing something (to get to the Apple Apps, I selected "New to the Apple Store?", then "Apps by Apple")?
Thanks!Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you? -
