Is there any way to recover bookmarks?

My daughter deleted my son's bookmark file by mistake. He does not remember the names of all the bookmarks he had. Is there any way to recover the file? Thanks!

It's probably too late to mention this, but the bookmarks could likely be retrieved if you had a recent backup of your Mac's files. (Of course, any sites bookmarked after that backup wouldn't be in the backup.) You would just need to retrieve the bookmarks.html file from the backup.
If you don't regularly or often backup, and this and other things like this are common enough to warrant it, it might be worth considering at least a very simple daily or weekly backup of user files, maybe just some important Application Support folders and the Documents folder, for example. (I do a daily incremental backup of a subset of work files to CDs, using the Backup program Apple includes with .Mac, because someone I work with is apt to mess up some of the online files we both work on. ;-))

  • I did a fresh install on my computer, but when I tried to sync, it put the new bookmarks (standard firefox ones) onto the sync data instead. Is there any way to recover my bookmarks?

    Like the question says, is there any way to recover them?
    I can't pull them off my old install since it was erased.

    Lets hope that you did not really erase your old profile, you would have had to go a little out of your way to do that. I've never used Sync but you have to have something to Sync to.
    Use the following to see if you have more than one profile or your lost bookmarks
    in the bookmarkbackups folder.
    Type about:support into the location bar the click on "Open Containing Folder" that will take you to your current profile. The bookmarkbackups folder has 5 backups (.json files) any of which can be restored with Firefox up through restore bookmarks.
    It doesn't sound like the install pulled in your old bookmarks, so continuing ...
    Sounds like you created a new profile instead of using your existing profile.
    Open your profile folder and go up one level to see if you have multiple
    profiles ...
    HELP (Alt+H) --> Troubleshooting information... --> "Open Containing Folder"
    (or type about:support into the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder")
    note the filename, then go up one level to see if you have additional profile folders.
    Check the dates of places.sqlite (new in Fx3) for update date just before you went to Fx4.
    Since it is updated each time you close your session that would be a good place to check.
    If you find one then note its filename (the profile name is part of the filename) and
    then start the Firefox Profile Manager and open with that profile.
    To prevent the problem in the future don't let Firefox start up for you after
    downloading and installing a new version. Instead exit the install at that
    last point, and restart Firefox in your normal manner.
    If you really do want to start with a new profile like the one you have, them look in the bookmarkbackups folder of the other profiles and look particularly at the dates and the size of the .json files to find one that you can restore to your current profile -- restoring is complete replacement of what you have for bookmarks.

  • Had to refresh Windows 8, Firefox was removed and I lost my bookmarks, browser history, and cookies. Is there any way to recover?

    Due to recurring problems with Windows 8, I had to "refresh" my laptop. As a result, my computer was reset to its factory settings, and Mozilla Firefox was stripped out. I have lost my bookmarks, browser history, and cookies.
    Is this lost information still present somewhere on my computer's hard drive? (I did get a list of removed apps afterwards.) Is there any way to recover and restore my bookmarks, at the very least?
    I have yet to reinstall Firefox, because I do not want to overwrite anything that might still be present.

    Hold on before installing. Firefox isn't going to look in the C:\Windows.old folder.
    To show hidden files, see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files
    Then look for:
    C:\Windows.old\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Can you find a folder there named something gibberish.default?

    If you have an iCloud or iTunes backup which contains the bookmarks you could restore to that. If not, the bookmarks are gone.

  • TA25361 I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to recover this info?  Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addres

    I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to recover this info?  Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

    I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
    In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
    Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
    Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails?

    Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails? Please help. Thanks!

    That exclamation mark is displayed when iPhoto cannot link to the original file.  First make sure you are running a "managed" library by checking iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to make sure the checkbox to copy files into the library during import is checked.
    Click to view full size
    If it is checked you can try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Is there any way to recover old text messages after update

    When i updated my new iPhone OS to the new system, i had to end up doing a restore. This wiped out all my info and while i have a backup on the computer. I can seem to find a way to recover old text messages via the iMessage platform. Is there any way to recover some of those old conversations? Some have sentimental value to them.

I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs.

  • Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

    Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

    Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

    Don't know what you mean by "some time ago", but unless you activated Find My Phone and the phone is still on, the answer is no. (Even if you ask 3 times).
