Is there a way to get my book marks back into Safari from a TM backup?

Hello fellow Mac users. Is there a way to "restore" my wife's book marks from an earlier TM backup in safari?
My wife deleted a bunch of files on her MBP. I went back to an earlier days TM backup and restored things in her documents folder etc but when she went into Safari all of her book marks are gone. Is there a way to get them back from one of the TM back ups? There was also another user that was deleted. Can that be restored?
Thanks Very Much!

To get the Safari bookmarks back, you need to locate the 'booksmarks.plist' file which should be located in the username/library/safari folder and replace the same file in the same folder for the user you want the bookmarks for.
As far as restoring a previous user, I'm not sure. It might be easier to just make a new one. You should still be able to get the files from the previous user from your Time Machine backup if that's what you intended. If you could restore a user, it would have to be by using Migration Assistant, although I couldn't say as to whether that would work.

  • Is there any way to get the firebug icon back into the "add-on" bar - it's really bothersome to activate it through the dropdowns?

    not sure when this changed but the firbug icon used to be on the bottom of the window and how the only way to activate it is through the dropdowns. This is really cumbersome and I am not sure if I just missing something to make the icon show up in the add-on bar for easy/quick access?

    You can activate the old icon by setting a preference in about:config or select curstomize and move the button from the top to the bottom. See [http://blog.getfirebug.com/2011/08/03/firebug-start-button/ firebug-start-button]

    recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
    Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
    I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
    Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

    Not unless the developer/Apple offer it again in the App store.  You can only get apps from the App store.

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • So Wat to do? Is there any way to get out as a single swf file from captivate.

    Dear friends,
    I am beginner in Adobe Captivate. We have a E-learning
    project. We are using Dockers as our LMS. Previously we were using
    Flash for all. Now we are trying Captivate for better and faster
    results. I have few swf files and i inserted al files in Captivate
    and i published. So instead of getting single output, am getting
    all the swfs, skin swf and html file. Html file is accessing all
    swfs and works. But it is not working in Dockers. Single swf will
    only work in Dockers. So Wat to do? Is there any way to get out as
    a single swf file from captivate. please Help mee.
    Thanks
    Flashlover

    If 'Dockers' cannot handle a .zip file as the content and
    instead
    requires a single, uncompressed content file, then it is not
    SCORM-compliant. The SCORM specification requires the LMS to
    handle a
    'pif' file (most common is .zip) which contains the lesson
    and the
    required manifest file. If Dockers doesn't support that then
    you can't
    do SCORM-compliant content.

  • I recently swapped providers but didn't think about recording my saved voice messages before doing so.  Is there any way to get those personal treasures back?

    Due to family troubles I dropped out of a family plan and picked up with another provider.  I had voices messages of my girls when they were very young on my answering machine that I had saved for years; now I'm unable to access them.  Is there a way to get those back?  Thank you!

    Probably NOT gone yet...
    If you hurry you might be  able to get them. They are only saved for so long...
    I was told by verizon:
    "You can access your old voicemails by calling 812-320-2957, and just use your voicemail password to access the messages." for a short period of time (mine was 2 weeks, but it may depend on where your bill falls etc...)  This should be the usual password you use to call voicemail.
    You will have to use an app to record it or like do it like me.  I'm simply going to put it on speakerphone and record it with my camcorder and another phone...

  • PC has broken - Is there a way to get my iTunes library back?

    Hi
    My PC which has my iTunes library on it won't turn on. Is there a way to get the library back on a different PC/Laptop?
    Many thanks in advance
    T

    If you have made a backup, you can use your backup copy to re-create the library on a new machine.
    Or, if the problem with your current machine is the CPU rather than the hard drive, you can read the contents of the hard drive into a new computer (or have the Geek Squad do it for you).

  • How do I get iTunes songs which were downloaded from external back-up drive to play on new computer and is there a way to get my play lists back?

    When I try to play a song from my re-installed iTunes library, I get the error message:  "Song xxx could not be played because original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?" > "Locate" or "Cancel."  When I click on "Locate" I can't figure out how to get the song to play from any of the places that were "located."  The path is C:\users\Janet\libraries\music\iTunes
    However, iTunes songs chosen from my library will play in iTunes (current version) when I have the external back-up drive plugged in!  I recently copied my backed-up iTunes library from my external back-up drive to a new computer.
    Most of the songs, but not all, magically appear in Windows Media Player and I can play those just fine. 
    I can see my iTunes library in the newest version of iTunes, recently downloaded to new computer, but can't play songs without connecting to the external back-up drive - so maybe there is something else on that external drive that needs to be on my C: drive? 
    I am using an HP Pavillion Notebook, Windows 7, 64-bit.  My previous computer was Windows Vista.  Before Vista, I had XP. 
    Back when I had XP, I wanted to purchase some songs to download to my computer. Because iTunes had the ability, I used it to create a massive library of songs, most of which were ripped from my CDs.  I don't have an iPod and iTunes worked fine for creating playlists and then burning them to CDs. 
    Also, I'd like to know if there is a way to get back my playlists.
    And another thing - in the older version of iTunes, there was a folder in the lists on the left-hand side of the screen where I could click to see all the songs I had purchased.  I'd like to get that ability back if possible.
    In hindsight, iTunes was probably not the best choice for me to build my music library in a Windows operating system, but it seemed to be the best choice at the time.  I really wish I could convert all the songs to mp3 format.
    I have been working with computers since the days of DOS, black and white screens, and no mice.  The first computer I bought for my own use at home was a Mac and it had "Flying Toasters" as a screensaver.  (I miss that screensaver.)  It did not have a tower and I believe they called it a laptop, even though the thing was as big as a suitcase and probably weighed around 30 pounds.  However, I am by no means a computer expert.  In other words, pretend you're trying to tell your mother how to do what I am asking. =)
    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • Is there a way of getting music stored on iPod into iTunes library?

    Recently my harddrive broke completely and there's no way of getting back my files. I have some files saved but not all!
    My iTunes library has also gone missing due to the fact my computer had to be wiped. The only files I have are the songs currently on my iPod which was last synced about 4 months ago.
    I'd like to reconnect my iPod so that the files on there can be restored on my iTunes account and I can continue using them as normal.
    I'd also like to sync my new iPhone to the same iTunes library (if it works), but this has a different Apple account. This part is not as important as trying to get my music back. I had an extensive library and I'm dying to put new additions on, but I need my previous music back first!
    If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Thank you so much!

  • Is there a way to get QuickTime 7.2 back???

    I am about to install Avid Media Composer, however, Avid says it works with QuickTime 7.2. It didn't say if there were any issues with the current 7.3 version. I contacted Apple Support and they told me the only way to get QuickTime is through the Apple site and that they don't have previous versions of QuickTime on disc.

    I'm a lil' ****** off about this!
    Just upgraded to 10.4.11 and all went well, installed QT 7.3 via software update and now have problems playing numerous live streams i frequently view.
    Can't downgrade to QT Pro 7.2 without an OS install yet 10.4.11 did not overwrite my original QT Pro 7.2 installation upon upgrading the system so... it's obviously not required so why will they not allow one to downgrade without the hassle of reinstalling the system?
    I'd understand if i had made the jump to leopard but this makes no sense.
    Geesh!
