Information, bookmarks, links, etc. won't delete...

Macbook not updating information in bookmarks, dock, and dashboard - if I delete old links, it comes back each time. Programs reappear in the Dock, notes reappear in the dashboard, and bookmarks come back in Safari. anyone have ideas?

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Does Firefox has this option (which I may not know) to click on my bookmark, link, etc. where to open a new tab without doing this right-click, it is aggravating?

    Hello, I would like to use Firefox as my default browser, but the reason I still use the old Netscape Navigator is that that clicking on my bookmarks Firefox is not opening new tab. Does Firefox has this option (which I may not know) to click on my bookmark, link, etc. where to open a new tab without doing this right-click, it is aggravating?

  • HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command.

    HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.

    If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click  and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
    In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection.

  • Live Bookmark won't delete

    Basically, I have a live bookmark that I can't delete. Further more, it won't even open up the feed items, but opening them all in tabs works just fine.
    Oddly, I can still move it around and rename it (though changing the two URLs does not work).
    Any ideas?

    You can't remove items in a live feed folder if that is what you tried to do.
    You can only remove (delete) to live feed if it isn't working anymore and create a new live feed by visiting the site location or feed location.

  • ITunes under Vista won't delete my songs

    Hey guys.
    I've recently updated to Windows Vista, and I'm running iTunes 7.3 with an iPod Nano.
    Previously on my XP machine (with some ancient iTunes, 7.1 maybe?) I was able to select a track in my library, and either hit the Delete key or right-click and select the Delete option. This would spawn a dialogue - do I want to keep the files, or move to recycle bin (or cancel)?
    Now under iTunes, when I delete a file, that dialogue is not there anymore, and deleting a file only removes it from the library view, rather than from my hard drive.
    As an added piece of information, I was able to upgrade a purchased song to iTunes Plus. When you do this, there's a dialogue of similar nature offering to move the old file to the recycle bin or to keep it. This dialogue appears, but when selecting recycle it does no such thing
    It's worth noting that all my music is in my iTunes Music folder, not anywhere else. I understand there can be a problem where if your music is not stored with iTunes, it won't delete the files. I don't believe this applies to my situation.
    I only really noticed this by happenstance, and now I have my music collection full of tracks I don't want anymore, but no effective way of getting them back in. Why is this?
    Well, that's peculiar thing #2. Previously I used to be able to just re-add my iTunes music folder, and iTunes would helpfully trawl through and add music in, ignoring tracks that already exist. It no longer does this - you can add the folder, but it creates a duplicate for each song that already exists. These duplicates are unrated with no previous play information - it's as if iTunes doesn't agree that they're the same track.
    I'm wondering if these problems are related - if iTunes in some way is able to play my previous library just fine, manage ratings and so on, but is in some way confused about whether they're actually in the iTunes folder. XP and Vista have different file paths (C:\Documents and Settings\ in XP, C:\Users\ in Vista)... would this have something to do with it? I suspect that there's a Junction (like a hard link, but in Windows) in place to redirect C:\Documents and Settings\ to C:\Users\, but this behaviour is not unversally supported cleanly.
    Is there a way of editing my library details to include the correct pathname if that's the problem?
    Man, sorry about the long post But it's really bugging me, and obviously I don't want to have to re-add and re-rate 22 days of music...

    Ok I think I fixed it
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313 describes that you can gank the binary file, and re-import using the XML document.
    The trick is of course to:
    1. Close iTunes
    2. Gank the binary file
    3. Search and replace the music locations in the XML
    4. Start iTunes
    5. Import the XML file
    This works, but there are some caveats (need to resynch the iPod, etc.). But yay, my files are once again being deleted.

  • How do I clear all personal data bookmarks history etc and import data from safari

    I have a MacBookpro 10.6.8 and I am trying to clear ALL personal data on my new Firefox 12 (Bookmarks History etc) and then import all settings from my Safari. I've deleted the Firefox application as well as Library/application support/mozilla and Firefox still retains all of the old settings (Bookmarks History etc) from the old version 3
    How do I do this.
    Thanks

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    Make sure that Firefox is closed (Firefox > Quit Firefox) when you remove files in the profile folder.
    You can also create a new profile.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    You can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile if you want to keep some data.

  • Mail won't delete messages from Iphone unless I open Mail.

    I have an Exchange account set up and use MS Outlook at work.  I do receive my email via push on my Iphone 4s.  However, when I delete a message from my MS Outlook at work, it won't delete from my Iphone UNLESS I open up Mail.  Anyone else have this issue? 
    I did change the setting of pushing my delete items folder in the mail settings on my Iphone.  Still did nothing. 

    Mel,
    One more thing to check on your computer...iCal>Preferences...>Accounts>Account Information>iCloud>Refresh Calendars:>Push
    If that is not helpful, go through the procedures listed in iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

  • How do I create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user

    This is why I think I need to.
    My computer got hit by lightening, and I may have created a new user account through netinfo rather than system preferences /accounts/+user. Mail used to open twice, but no longer. Now, Safari askes me for my keychain password twice, Spotlight can't find a folder on the computer when the search is restricted to folder and computer, though the folder is there and easyfind finds it, and when System Preferences/Spotlight/Privacy has the hard drive icon added, then deleted, Spotlight still does not find anything. (Yes, everything is backed up, on CD, DVD, and online.) Microsoft Tec Support says
    "Here is a summary of the key points of the case for your records.
    When you contacted us on August 8, you had requested assistance with Microsoft Office 2004, as your installation of the updates was unable to find the correct version of the software to update. After creating a New MAC User, we identified the issue to be with a corrupt MAC User account, and not a Microsoft issue. "
    I believe Microsoft. So, creating a new user was easy.
    But copying files uses up too much hard drive (movies, music), and may miss keychains, preferences, mail, address book, and documents. Since Spotlight no longer works, who knows what is happening. (Yes, I've repaired persmissions, and disk repair. No change). I'm using up my hard drive trying to move files to the new user. If I share files, or put them into a public folder, then delete the old user, will I still have the old user's files in the new user's account? It is not clear to me what I should be trying to do in order to create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user. Thanks.
    My responses will be slow, because I have to drive to town to use the internet. I've ordered a new airport which may take care of that problem. SO be patient.

    Hey -
    I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
    My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
    He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance!

    If you are not on your home LAN you are limited by the bandwidth of the site you are using. While the WiFi speed is 54 mbps, that is shared among all users on that access point, so you don't get all of it. In addition, you are limited by the speed of the link connecting you to the Internet backbone. For most commercial WiFi sites this is rather slow; a T1, for example, is 1.55 Mbps, and it is also shared. So doing the same calculation, and assuming you are the only one using that connection, it would take about 13 hours to sync 7 MB. In addition, to do that, your computer with your bookmarks, music, etc. would have to be configured as a server accessible from the Internet, so any of the world's millions of hackers would potentially have access to your computer.
    The reason email can sync is that it is stored on your ISP's server, and the iPhone can retrieve it from there. Your bookmarks, notes, music and videos are NOT on your ISP's server, so you would have to make your own computer a server, get (and pay for) a fixed IP address (typically ~$100/month), and know enough about what you are doing to configure it.
    If you are on your home LAN your WiFi speed is 54 Mbps (for 801.11G routers), but you require 2 way transfers; one from your computer to the LAN and one from the LAN to your iPhone. Ethernet protocol also adds overheard, so the effective speed of a wireless LAN is around 25% of the theoretical maximum bandwidth. Thus, your actual throughput is 25% of 54 Mbps, or 13.5 Mbps, and that is split in two by the need for your computer to upload while the iPhone is downloading, giving a total throughput of about 6 Mbps. Doing the same calculation again you get 20 minutes. But you are next to your computer anyway, so why not just plug it in and do it in 3 minutes?

  • I just uploaded the latest IPad software to my IPad and am now having loads of trouble with the device recognizing "online buttons", that is, links, etc.

    I just uploaded the latest IPad software to my IPad and am now having loads of trouble with the device recognizing "online buttons", that is, links, etc.  what can I do?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • IPhone sometimes won't delete all the photos after I import into iPhoto

    Every so often, my iPhone 3GS won't delete some photos after importing into iPhoto and choosing "delete originals." It deletes most of the originals but strangely keeps a certain number around. My basic routine is to "Import All" and then "Delete Originals." This works 98% of the time, but sometimes the iPhone just gets hung up and won't delete the originals until I manually do it from the iPhone itself.

    I was looking further into this and I found out that on my Macbook Pro's System Preferences. In the iCloud settings, the "Photos" setting was checked and in the Options next to that, the "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" was also checked.
    I think this was the main problem. After I used iTunes to sync with the photos maybe there was some cache settings or something residual left on the iPhone which let to it being continuously restoring.
    This is the fix which I used. It is fine now.
    Check in System Preferences for - iCloud >> Photos is unchecked.
    Check in System Preferences for - iCloud >> Photos >> Options >> "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" is unchecked.
    Temporarily delete account for iCloud settings on iOS device - Settings >> iCloud (This didn't affect my main iCloud account only deleted my information on the device)
    Re-sync iOS device with iTunes.
    Set up your iCloud account on iOS device again.
    Hope this helps for anyone having this problem.

  • Firefox 34.0.5: Live bookmarks (RSS feeds) won't stay open! :(

    Firefox 34.0.5: Live bookmarks (RSS feeds) won't stay open! If I close Firefox and reopen it, all my live bookmark folders are closed and I have to manually reopen them (such as BBC World News, etc.). Please restore the old functionality: If I have it open when I quit, let it be open when I come back! If I had it closed, then keep it closed. Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply and for taking an interest. I've attached the screenshot in PNG format--hope that's okay. I use bookmarks only in the Sidebar, never in the toolbar (I just have way too many!)
    The BBC News live bookmark that is shown opened in that screenshot always comes back closed after I close Firefox and reopen it. (This is true for ALL other live bookmarks as well. Formerly, in earlier versions of Firefox, the open ones always remained open, and the closed ones closed, which is the correct behavior, imho.)

  • Adding a Bookmark Link

    Hello,
    I've been looking all over for how to create a bookmarking link for IE7 using Flash CS4 Action Script 3.
    I'm creating the button using the following code:
    BookMark_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotoBookMark_mc);
    function gotoBookMark_mc(event:MouseEvent):void
    URLLoader ("javascript:window.external.AddFavorite ('http://www.actionscript.org/','ActionScript.org Flash Resources');");
    I get the following error when I click the link straight from the SWF file:
    TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "javascript:window.external.AddFavorite ('http://www.actionscript.org/','ActionScript.org Flash Resources');" to flash.net.URLLoader. at 2_PCSP_Sharepoint_Intro_WT_fla::MainTimeline/gotoBookMark_mc()
    I published the SWF and the Index.html file, then accessed that .html file from my web server, but no luck.
    Any ideas on how to do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    you should really use a javascript function that tests for, at least, some common browser types.  and, you should use the externalinterface class to call that javascript function.  so, for example:
    <script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
    function bookMark(url,title) {
        if (window.sidebar) { // Mozilla Firefox Bookmark
            window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url,"");
        } else if( window.external ) { // IE Favorite
            window.external.AddFavorite( url, title); }
        else if(window.opera && window.print) { // Opera Hotlist
            //etc }
    </script>
    could be placed in your embedding html and you can use the following actionscript:
    BookMark_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotoBookMark_mc);
    import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
    function gotoBookMark_mc(event:MouseEvent):void {
        ExternalInterface.call('bookMark','http://www.actionscript.org/','ActionScript.org Flash Resources');
