Imported favorite bookmarks from IE and now all links are to BBC news

I downloaded and installed Firefox, imported favorites/bookmarks from IE running Windows 7, and now all the bookmarks that seemed to have been imported point to BBC news link.
Any suggestions?

Open the Firefox SafeMode and select '''Delete all bookmarks except for backups''', then Continue in SafeMode. <br />

Then close Firefox. Open IE and use '''File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file''' and save that file to the Desktop. Close IE.
Then open Firefox and open '''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file ''and select that file you saved on the Desktop'' '''.
Hopefully that method will work better.

TS1541 I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Help please.

I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Do I need to delete my address book software and reinstall? If so, what is the proper way to do this? New to Macbook software. I have tried several things and nothing has helped. I have backed up photos, movies, etc. My addresses are on my iphone so I can sync them later right if I loose my data?
Thanks for your time and expertise,
T.

You can probably resolve this by removing some Address Book preference files rather than deleting your Address Book application.
First turn off Synchronize in Address Book Preferences if you can.
Next restart Address Book and try to export everything to your Desktop.
I have had a play and found my Address Book preference files. In the following ~/Library is the Library within your Home folder. Any numerals may differ on your Mac. Quit Address Book before doing anything with these.
1 - Display details and things set in Address Book Preferences
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
2 - Has no data - not sure what this does
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
3 - Has last sync date - may have more if I used sync
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.AddressBook.sync.000393735c06.plist
4 - My contact details
/Library/Preferences/AddressBookMe.plist
5 - Individual addresses and groups stored as separate files within:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
6 - All of these addresses are are also in this single database:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
If you wish to remove all addresses drag both 5 & 6 to your Desktop.
If you wish to reset preferences drag 1 your Desktop.
Removing 3 may resolve sync issues but I am unable to test this.
If you wish to reset everything drag all except 4 to your desktop.
Apple has an interesting page at: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481
I hope this helps.

HT201269 My PC crashed. iTunes was on it and now all files are gone. All music does exist on iPad. How do I get the music that had been downloaded from iTunes and copied from my CDs onto new PC from iPad. Would rather not use cloud.

PC crashed. iTunes was on it and now all files are gone. All music both purchased and copied from CDs is on iPad. How do I get the music back onto the PC without using the cloud. Afraid if sync will wipe all music from iPad.

You would need to download iTunes on comp and download purchases again (you don't have to pay again) and upload your CDs again IF you sync your iPad to your computer it will erase everything

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed

Ran the new update and now all apps are waiting.

I updated to the 7.1.1 and now all my apps are waiting. I am not even able to delete them.

It's restoring from backup; can take very long ig internet is slow.

Thunderbird erased many important, random emails from gmail and now they are not even on thunderbird. what do I do? It's been over 30 days.

I wanted to print all the emails from a gmail label. My googling suggested that Thunderbird would do this. I didn't see any warnings about Gmail's stealth setting that it would ERASE me emails from the server, but it did. And now Thunderbird has no emails in it, leaving me with years of lost work and pictures. It has been over 30 days since this happened, as I didn't realize it had happen as, oddly, it didn't erase all of the emails, just some (likely because Thunderbird crashed every time I tried to use it and didn't do a full pull of my gmail e-mails, but kept telling me it was out of space which it was not as I have a huge drive).
Does anyone have a suggestion regarding where I can find my e-mails? I tried to do a restore on my backup drive (where I had downloaded and used thunderbird) but it says there are no earlier versions. I am in the process of begging gmail to help me, but I don't know if they can.

Well, the only thing you can do is go to Gmail in a web browser and hope your e-mails are still on the server. If they were deleted there, then there really isn't a way to get them back. :(

I had a iphone 3gs on contract then upgraded to 4s then i allowed the sync between the 2 phones then deleted contacts off both phones tried a backup from iclud and now the phones are exactly the same and my main 4s wont work

i had a iphone 3gs on contract which ended so i upgraded to 4s. had the 3gs cleaned as a second phone for my partner. i then allowed the sync between the 2 so whatever was on mine would be on the other and vise versa. this meant the contacts was aswell so i deleted them not knowing they would be removed from both, i then tried a backup to icloud to restore the lost canotacts instead it seemed to clone my new 4s from my old 3gs and now the features on the 4s wont work. music and tunes have been lost along with all my messages
please help me

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

Canceled Backup, and now all Apps are reinstalling?

NOTE: I have all my apps installed on the phone. In fact i was just playing Critter Crunch.
Anyways...
I dl'd an app in itunes and wanted to add it to my phone. I docked the iphone and it began to backup. I canceled the back up and now its syncing and installing all of my apps all over again.
Why would it do that?

For some reason, if you cancel the iPhone during a Backup, all **** breaks loose!!!
Try not to cancel if you can. I know it's an awful response, but hopefully Apple will fix this in the next update.

All links are opening in new tabs. How do I change this so links open in the same tab?

This started with upgrade to FF 10. I've tried switching Tabs options on and off but everything keeps opening in new tabs rather than switching to the link in the open window. This leads to many tabs that I have to chase to get to the page I wanted to open.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Maybe some of the extensions are causing a problem. I suggest you try using
* [[safe Mode]] <-- clikable link for instructions --
* do NOT make changes in the first window,just click on continue
* use only the default firefox theme
* if you continue to have problems; then whilst still in safe mode disable all plugins
It is also worth trying to ensure all extensions are uptodate
* see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
You may have to try using the reset controls and toolbars option from safe-mode BUT that may loose customisations that you have made.

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and now all sites are very slow. I cant even watch youtube videos anymore. Is their a way I can downgrade back to what I had?

I was given an option to upgrade to Firefox 4, so I did. Ever since I have done this, Facebook is taking a very long time to load. All FB apps either take a few minutes to load or just dont load. I have tried to watch Youtube and the videos are taking longer to view. I have tried to watch videos and they keep skipping. I have tried to reload the page, restart my computer and even upgrade flash but I already have the updated version. I need to know if their is any way to downgrade back the the Fairfox version that I had.

Upgraded to Firefox4 too. Suddenly I started to notice that browsing pages in my webbrowser qaws horrible laggy and I was seriously wondering if my connection was acting up, yet everything non-browser related was working just fine.
I can't even watch music videos on youtube now, as it will only load up to a 3rd of the song and then just stop loading anything more untill I click on the bar on a spot it hasn't loaded, and then it will start from there untill it gets to a 'block' again.
In other words: totally unusable for me.
I tried uninstalling firefox4 and going back to the 3.6.17 version, but now the issues haunt me in that versino too. It's like firefox4 sunk its teeth into my system once, and then older versions won't work proper either :(
Seriously considering just getting a different browser to be able to actually BROWSE the web again >:(

Sync'ed iPod to pick up a new album, and now all others are gone

Background:
I'm a long-time iTunes user and am on my third iPod and third iBook on the same libary, which is over 1500 songs. All either purchased from the iTunes store or uploaded from my CD collection. The libary is stored on an external Firewire hard drive. Sometimes I've lost several albums, and upgrades and re-syncs discovers them again. Today I have a specific example to inquire about here.
I have all of the albums by the same artist--eight or so--and was given her latest, so I uploaded the CD to iTunes. Today I realized I hadn't synced it to my iPod (30gig newest gen) so ran a sync. Now I have the new album, but all of the other albums from this artist are gone.
I would like to restore them, and if possible find out what else has been blown away. I don't sync Podcasts, movies, or videos to my client devices from the library--just songs.
The current "host" Mac for the library is my G4 running 10.5.1, this was iTunes 7.5. I also share to a MacBook, and AppleTV.
I'd like iTunes to just manage my music library, regardless of size. One would expect that original function to work by version 7.

While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

Upgraded to 5.0.1 and now all keynotes are blank. Any ideas please?

I just upgraded to iWork 09 and then as software update instructed, upgraded to 5.0.1..
Now any new keynote or any old keynote file opens, shows the slides in the slide organiser on the left but the main slide window is completely blank.
I drag a picture in, nothing, blank. I edit some type and change colours... nothing.
Any old keynote I open has the slides there, I can export as powerpoint, pdf or anything else, but cannot edit in main window as there is nothing there.
No theme data is there. Slides are blank. Even applying a theme retrospectively has no effect.
I have repaired permissions, nothing particularly doing.
No change.
I am now stuck. I can try reinstalling, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
Kind regards
Joel

I have solved my own problem here. This might be of use if anyone has a similar problem.
Removed the Application support files and the Application folder for iWork 09.
Re-installed iWork 09
Tested to see if the slides now work
They do.
Re-applied the upgrades to 5.0.1
Tested
Works

Subscribe to CC, logged out, logged in and now all apps are trial versions.

Adobe recommended I log out of my CC account as a solution to application freezes. When I logged back in, I'm told I have trial versions and they need serial numbers. What the heck?

Adding to previous resolution, just wanted to mention that do check the host file too as they block Adobe at times.
Creative cloud do not need a serial number.
In case it is not signing in successfully please try the following:
I don't know which operating system you are working on so i am giving you some steps windows and MAC OS:
   Windows:
   In windows 7 navigate to following location:
     /windows/system32/drivers/etc
   1. look out for "Hosts" file
   2. Open it with notepad
   3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
   4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CC
   Mac:
   1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
   2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
   3. Remove the entries and save the file
   4. try again launching any product from CC

WTH? Importing songs into my iPhone and now my contacts are gone?!

Anyone?

Maybe check your iTunes settings before syncing the phone and make sure your contacts are checked to sync.
All your contact info should still be on your computer.
