If I reset Firefox, do I lose everything in favourites?
Hi - we are having problems with the Prohibited Cycle message on our Firefox email account and I see someone has said they reset Firefox to fix the problem but am nervous that if we do reset Firefox we could lose our favourites (bookmarks). Can you please help us with this problem? Thank you.
Firefox is a nightmare to use since it automatically updated 2 days ago.. I could not even access it. I had to do a system restore on my computer to 3 days ago, and now I can use it, but it is sooo slow. ANd the mouse is half the time not being responded to.
I don't have this with IE, or off line using my computer, everything works normal.. just on firefox now
I used firefox for 2 yrs with no problems, until this recent update
I will do a reset, and hope this fixes it, otherwise I will uninstall it, because its no use to me like it is.. ALso the blue circle icon spins for 3-5 mins when doing a search.. and I have to refresh the page a few times before it moves to open a different email, etc. Let me know your thoughts.. And I saw on the help forum , there are over 100 people in the last 2 weeks complaining of this same problem, since this last update.... My 2 friends have this now also since the new updates were installed... and one can't do a system restore, luckily I created one the day before my firefox update.. so frustrated with this. I would have been better off to have kept my old firefox, and had checked no updates,, Cyrus

My boyfriend changed his pass code on his iPhone 5 and does not remember it. He's tried every possible code and now his phone is disabled and says to connect to itunes. I'm wondering if there's some where we can go take it to to get the password off without having to reset the whole phone and loseall all our pictures. Any info please I'd greatly appreciate it. I've called our carrier company and I can't do anything but referred me to apple.
If this iPhone has previously been synced to a computer you can connect to that computer which will unlock it.
If you have not done so there is no way to use it without Restoring it and losing your information. -
Unexpected error when trying to reset Firefox sync
Hello,
I am trying to reset my password for Firefox sync with no success. When i enter my email address and hit "next" i get "Unexpected error". I don't want to create a new account with a different email address.
Any help is appreciated.Hello jc_denton,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' After resetting Firefox, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article for more information.
To Reset Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox" that looks like this: [[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After it is done, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Resetting didn't say I'd lose everything - it sounded like most would still be preserved. I don't understand about creating the new profile and copying everything to it. Isn't there an easier way to do this? I tried restoring my computer hoping that would bring back how it was but that didn't work. I'm not a computer expert so need baby steps on this. I have windows 7. Thank you.
It is not the Internet Explorer, but the Windows Explorer file manager that you need to open.
You can use a file manager to copy files from one folder to another folder, in this case from the Old Firefox Data folder to the current profile folder. -
i have an ipod classic and I did have a macbook pro but it crashed. Is there any way to transfer the music from my ipod without losing everything on the ipod. Because my new computer is a pc it wants me to reset my ipod but I will lose everything.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Will i lose everything if i facotry reset?
will i lose everything if i factory reset my iphone 4?
Yes. So back up first if it's something you're considering. Right-click on the device name in iTunes and click Backup. This does not back up media (music, etc), so sync that with iTunes first if it's not already on your computer.

If I reset my iPad in order to fix my email problem, will I lose everything on it....like my books?
If I reset my iPad to fix a email problem will I lose everything on it.....like books?
If you reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, you won't lose anything at all. It's nothing more than rebooting your iPad, like rebooting your computer.

if i reset network settings to get back my wifi will i lose everything on my ph ? should i back up everything first on pc ?
No you won't lose anything, however you would need to re enter your password for known wifis.
You should already be backing up your phone on a regular basis. -

Please can anyone help? My brother has given me his old iPod 1st Gen 30GB. It has loads of music on it that I love and don't want to lose however there is quite a bit of stuff that I really don't want. How can I remove the songs I don't like without having to reset the iPod and lose the songs I do like. I'm sure there's an easy answer but I just can't figure it out!!
Hi there, there doen't seem to be any option to "select songs and videos" so this hasn't helped I'm afraid. I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that I'm going to have to reset and lose the lot.

The problem is with not with every website, just one. This is a site that previously remembered my username & pw, but I changed the pw and the prompt did not display to update it, so I deleted it from the Firefox/Options/Security/Saved Passwords tab, and now when I type in the new pw, it's still not asking me whether I want to remember the pw (nor does it remember the old pw). I tried Safe Mode and I tried resetting Firefox. Neither one worked.
You can check if there are entries in the password manager with an empty user name.<br />
Remove saved Password(s):
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
You can also check the exceptions.
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Exceptions
You can remove all stored data from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions from that domain, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.<br />
You can't recover from that "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again. -
I downloaded a plug-in (add-on) from Facebook onto my toolbar and it made my entire computer run slowly. I disabled the add-on, removed the toolbar, and everything was still super slow. I went to troubleshooting and hit reset firefox. It was in the process of resetting and my screen went black. I thought it was just the screensaver but after pressing the space bar, screen did not return. I did a hard exit on my Mac and restarted my computer. On my desktop there is now a folder that says "Old Firefox Data". When I try to open firefox I get a message that says "your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. I've tried to reinstall firefox as well, only to have the same result. Help!
Do you have JSON backups that Firefox keeps in the bookmarkbackups folder?
If you use the Time Machine then you can try to restore the places.sqlite file.

Mail on my iPad 2 has stopped working since the latest update. The symbol is on the screen in its' usual place but it either opens briefly, just showing the blank framework for Mail before suddenly quitting, or all the App symbols disappear completelly from the screen. I'm not confident that i know what to do! If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before? Looking at an earlier question along the same lines it doesn't appear that that would make a difference. If I reset the whole thing will I lose all my documents, photos etc.?
i'd be extremely grateful for some clear guidance!(A) Try reset iPad
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen. -
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium OS on Dell XPS 420 system. Firefox locks up each time I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu. Resetting Firefox did NOT solve the problem. If, instead of using Firefox, I log on to a website using Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer, the "Save As" feature works fine, as it should. I would occasionally like to save a web page, using "Save As" while using Firefox, instead of copying the page to a Word Document, and then saving it.
