I want to restore my bookmarks but can't find the .json file in my time machine backup.

In fact, I can't find any folder named "Firefox" in the backup Library's "Application support" folder. Could this be somewhere else? Many thanks.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

  • I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
    All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
    Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
    If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
    On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
    Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

  • Where can I find calendar library in mountain lion time machine backup

    Hi together,
    I just had a series of new hardware and problems with the software. In december I had to buy a new MBP as the motherboard of my old one was damaged. So now, with mountain lion, I only have made one backup with time machine so far.
    A few days ago I bought an iPad for the first time. Thats why I was reading the instruction for icloud and tried a few things. And there I made a mistake and all calender entries were deleted.
    Thought: no big problem, as I have a backup. BUT I cant find the calendar files in the backup. I know, that the library is only shown in "Go to + alt-key", but I dont find it in the backup. (I tried also an terminal command written in a community thread, but nothing happend)
    Please, can anybody help me?
    Thanks a lot in advance!!!!

    If you synchronize any of your calendars with a server such as iCloud, disable that synchronization. Quit Calendar.
    Triple-click the line below to select it: ~/Library/Calendars Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Enter Time Machine and restore that folder from the snapshot you want.
    Relaunch Calendar and test. Your calendars should be as they were when the snapshot was taken. If you don't sync with a server, stop here. If you do sync some of the calendars with a server, select each one in turn and then select
    File ▹ Export ▹ Export…
    from the menu bar. You'll get ICS files with the filename extension ".ics". Re-enable sync. Usually, all the calendars you just restored will be deleted. That's not a problem. Create a new calendar on the server for each one you exported and want to sync:
    File ▹ New Calendar
    Then import the calendar from the corresponding ICS file:
    File ▹ Import ▹ Import…
    Follow the prompts to import the new events to the calendar you just created. For calendars that you don't want to sync, just import them again. They'll appear in the calendar list under On My Mac.

  • Can't find addressbook data file in my time machine, to restore it to my lion new installed OS

    like everbody i updated my Snowleapord to lion, i felt my system is quiet slow so i did a clean installation and copied everything from my time machine backup manually, now i want to restore my contacts in addressbook, problem is when i dig into my timemachine i dont see any place where i can find my addressbook data, i really want that back, my time machine isnt associated with my new OS lion i can access all the files via finder but i cant use space like interface, is anyone knows how i can find my addressbook data in time machine and copy it to the path where lion keeps address book data.

    Listen guyz i think you took me wrong i have resolved the problem and it will work for you as well, first you have to unhide the user/library folder in lion for that read this:
    http://technocraz.wordpress.com/2011/07/27/updated-to-lion-must-be-missing-user- library-here-is-how-to-get-it-back/
    after having the folder visible open you time machine in finder and copy the address book from User/Library/Application Support/AddressBook and paste the same in your User/Library/Application Support/AddressBook.
    you will see all your contacts immediatly, worked for me and im sure it will work for everyone.

  • How can I omit FCPX Render Files from a Time Machine backup?

    I want to be able to add my Final Cut Projects and Events folders to Time Machine, but annoyingly Apple have decided to put a Render Files folder within each and every Events folder.
    Is there a way of moving the folders to a different location on the hard drive, such as a Caches folder? Or is there some way of telling Time Machine to ignore folders containing the words "Render Files" (using some kind of script perhaps)?

    Backups For FCP works like Pro Versioner, only backs up project files, not the media.
    CCC will work over networks.  I have it running on enterprise systems for my consulting clients.  It is a fully professional level backup solution.  TimeMachine is a hobbiest, end user app, and doesn't have the control and flexiblity as CCC.
    TimeMachine backsup ever few minutes, when things change, and eats up processor resources constantly.  CCC can be scheduled.  So many advantages of CCC over TimeMachine.  One is professional, one is hobbiest, that is basically it.

  • I have no folder for firefox in application support... where can I find the stored passwords from my time machine back up!!?

    Everywhere I look it says I should have a folder for Firefox in library/applicationsupport/ BUT I don't have one! I'm looking to restore passwords from a time machine back up but there's no Firefox folder so I don't where to look. I even did a fresh install of Firefox on my mac and even then it never created a Firefox folder in library/applicationsupport/... they must be store somewhere in my back up...!?

    Hello kamilr, check also in :
    ~/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
    The tilde character (~) refers to the current user's Home folder, so ~/Library is the /Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Library folder.
    note that in mac 10.7 and above, the ~/Library folder is hidden by default, see : http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders#Mac_OS_X
    when you find the file seek for '''key3.db''' and '''signons.sqlite''' files.
    Your passwords are stored in two different files, both of which are required:
    '''key3.db''' - This file stores your key database for your passwords. To transfer your saved passwords, you must copy this file along with the following file.
    '''signons.sqlite''' - Saved passwords
    thank you

  • Where can I find my Airport passwords in my Time Machine backup?

    Hi,
    I have reinstalled Mountain Lion. Now I found the folder in my Time Capsul where the keycahins are saved. (Library->kechains) I only need the passwords for WiFi Internet access. Which exact data do I need to restore?

    One thing that catches my eye is the path name
    ~/Library/Keychains/
    See if this helps:

  • Its great you all decided to update to a new system but my bookmarks are still stored under the .json file and i would like them back

    my computer crashed and i need to restore my bookmarks but it wont recognize the json bookmark file. it is real nice of firefox to update how bookmarks are saved and not tell people so they know to change their backups WTF

    ''emeralddragon [[#question-1051030|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    but it wont recognize the json bookmark file
    </blockquote>
    What do you mean be this?
    Bookmark / History Backups
    Type '''about:support'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
    Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
    '''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
    Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
    Enter the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. This is where Firefox makes backups
    of your bookmarks. Look for the '''jsonlz4''' file you want to restore
    (check the time / date / size). Right click on that file and select '''Copy.'''
    Now go back to the profile folder where you started. Rename the file
    '''places.sqlite''' by adding '''.old''' to it. Now right click in the folder
    and select '''Paste.''' The file you just pasted here, rename it to
    '''places.sqlite.''' After you are done, restart Firefox.

    Hello,
    the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
    >>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
    If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

  • Does anyone know how I can create "facing pages" in new Pages? I could do it in Pages 09, but can't find the option in new Pages.

    Does anyone know how I can create "facing pages" in new Pages? I could do it in Pages 09 but can't find the option in new Pages. I have documents created in Pages 09 and want to do some further work on them, but am now using new pages.

    There were 100+ features that didn't make it into the "new & improved, rewritten from the ground up” Pages 5. Some have returned with the updates & there are some new features that are worthwhile, but there are still 90+ features missing. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu and review & rate the new versions in the Mac App Store.
    If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09. You can continue to use them to get things done.
