Lost all bookmarks after upgrading to FF4 and help page solutions no help

Upgraded to FF4. All was well for the first few days then all of a sudden my bookmarks were gone. I've been through all the topics on the help page and still cannot access any bookmarks or even add new bookmarks. Bookmarks is just totally disabled. Went back to IE but hate how slow it is. I just want to be able to create new bookmarks if I can't find my old ones.

See my solution at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11757732#11757732
It's pretty much guaranteed to work if it's at all possible to recover your contacts, although other simpler solutions may work too and some are discussed there.

Lost all applications after upgrading

Hi, I've just got a 3GS and was trying to sync with itunes to activate the phone
Here's what happened:
1. Did a back up with previous phone (3G) with iTunes.
2. Connect new 3GS with iTunes.
3. Sync/restore new 3GS
4. Update phone firmware to version 4.1
After doing the above and restarting, everything else is ok (restored correctly) except for all my applications. They are all gone now. Can anyone help me out here? any steps that i missed out and is there anything that i can do to restore all the applications?
Thanks

I have the same problem, except I realised I haven't lost all my applications but there's a blank page between original applications and bought applications, so it looked like they weren't there.
I can't work out a way of moving everything across to the left and getting rid of the blank page though.
Anyone with any ideas?

ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
PLEASE HELP.

Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

Had firefox want to do an update, updated lost all bookmarks then randomly it unstalled and back to the pre-updated version

the other day, firefox updated itself , i lost all my bookmarks autologins etc, them randomly today its gone back to the pre-update version? i dont know whats going on? the version on my computer currently is 27.0

This is not an issue that Firefox itself is going to cause. Maybe it is your backup software or something.
Firefox has no mechanism for causing reverts to older installs. When Firefox does upgrade it does try to preserve bookmarks. I note from your Sytem information aside that you have McAfee software, but I do not know whether that may be implicated in this sort of problem.
I do know; certainly in the past; some McAfee software, and particularly the SiteAdvisor have caused Firefox problems.
N.B. Firefox has its own built in features
* [[How does built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work?]]
* And Windows provides basic AV software for free http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/security-essentials-download
I could try to give some basic help information regarding Windows features for recovering previous versions of files
* - Please - always carefully back up any existing files or folders before attempting that
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/previous-versions-files-faq#1TC=windows-7
I suspect however your problem may relate to use of third party backup or security software.
* What security related software and backup software is in use ?

My iPhone 4 lost all apps after iOS 6 update, and can't reinstall them!

After updating to iOS 6, I can't install apps I've bought before.. I can only open them through App Store.. Stupid!!
And safari can't ever find any web pages when on wifi...
Seems like iOS 6 is having some bugs after reading this forum and by my own experience..

I have a similar problem. None of my App Icons are visible. I rebooted Iphone, PC and wireless router, I did a sync with iTunes (With "Sync Apps" checked, but it doesn't seem to go through that step), both through wi-fi and with USB cable........no success with any of these.
When I go into my settings, I can see that the phone knows about these apps. I get see the settings for them and the amount of storage they're using.
I'm thinking I'll use the Restore function in iTunes.....but I'm afraid that might make things worse!!

Lost photo library after upgrade to Lion -- please help me find it?

I have just upgraded to Lion, and started setup for iCloud.
I can't find my photo library on my Mac.
I tried upgrading to iPhoto 9.2, but the install didn't work -- got stuck on "searching for photos"
The photos do appear in iPhoto, but not in the library?
My backups on a separate hard disk may be ok, but I thought the library used to have the list of photos. All I can see is the icon. I hesitate to open anything, as I don't want to lose all of my photos....
Please advise.

The photos do appear in iPhoto, but not in the library?
Please explain. iPhoto displays photos from the iPhoto library - if you have photos in iPhoto then you have an iPhoto library
Are you trying to access your photos? You do not do that directly into the iPhoto library - that has never been a support access method - you use the media browser
What exactly are you trying to do?

Lost all emails after upgrade

I've just upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 from an old version of Tiger. In the process I have managed to lose all my emails. I can neither send nor receive emails through Mac Mail, and when I click on the Mail icon in the dock, I can't even see the mailboxes. Any thoughts? I understand that this is a fairly common problem. Do I need to set up Mail again?

Ernie
Just tried this. No joy. See below for my notes on your answers
First let's see if the messages are still there, as I expect. YES Open a POP account folder -- do you find an INBOX.mbox folder, YES and if so, and open it, does it contain anything other than one Info.plist file (might not be there) and one Messages folder? Open the Messages folder -- does it contain a lot of xxxx.emlx files? YES If so, that means the message content is present, and should be retrievable.
If the various xxxx.mbox folders when observed indicate message content still present, then we can proceed.
When you upgraded to Leopard, was it immediately the version 10.5.6 -- that is, you never had Leopard running in an earlier version? THAT IS CORRECT
This is what I understood your first posts to report. If that is the case, make sure to Quit Mail, and then in the Finder drag all the file named to start with MessageRules to the desktop. Now relaunch Mail -- do any messages now display? If so, then you can restore those MessageRule . . . files after quitting Mail. I'VE DONE ALL THAT. ONE FILE IS MARKED MESSAGE RULES AND IT IS NOW ON DESKTOP
If no message yet display, again quit Mail, open the Mail folder in the Finder again, find the Envelope Index file and drag it to the Desktop (for later deleting probably). AGAIN NOW ON DESKTOP If you have any IMAP account, drag those account folders out of the Mail folder. NOT SURE WHAT AN IMAP ACCOUNT IS - SORRY Relaunch Mail, which should announce it is ready to import your email -- allow that to continue, and it should discover and reindex the message content from all the existing mailboxes.
Does that make any sense? Any other help would be appreciated.

After upgrading to FF4 (and afterward FF5) I can't scroll the homepages anymore! It works fine in IE and Chrome... What to do??

I use a Lenovo Thinkpad but as the scroll function works in all other areas, this shouldn't be the problem...

Thanks Neil! I'm actually wondering how to change where the preview files go. I've attached two screen grabs. Right now my media cache is going to my SATA drive (my smaller of my two internal hard drives and the drive where Premiere Pro is located.) I want to re-route my render files to go to my Macintosh HD drive which is much larger and gives me more breathing room. I could do that before but since I've upgraded to 2014, even though I have it set in preferences, it STILL goes to my SATA drive. So annoying! I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug. I'm still running Mountain Lion (getting ready to finally upgrade, I've just been needing to backup my computer), could this be the reason? Any ideas? Thanks so much for the help!

Lost all contacts after upgrading to 8.1 on iphone 4s

How do I regain my contacts on iphone?
I went through itunes and followed all directions.
When I was able to get papps back on screen most were gone. Got them back
but NO contacts to be found.
Is there a way?

At first there was no choice. Now, there is only the choice from July backup and I'm not sure I had this phone then, but a flip phone. I'm sire it used the old sim card. I am on a PC.
I tried to restore from the July backup and now can not get it to open to the apps pages. It keeps wanting me to select the language, country,
internet connection, etc. It won't leave that.
thank you for your time. I appreciate it.

Upgrade to Firefox 11 and lost all bookmarks.

I have upgrade to Firefox 11 and lost all bookmarks. None of the on-line articles help. Please advise on how to recover the bookmarks. I have tried to go to the pages that I use and it will not let me bookmark them.
''[Personal information removed by moderator. Please read [[Forum and chat rules and guidelines]], thanks.]''

If you open your current profile folder, do you have a bookmarkbackups folder in there?
Help > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder button
If so, copy those somewhere safe before proceeding.
If not, do you ever back up your profile folder?
You also might navigate up a level and see whether you have any other Firefox profiles.
If you cannot save any new bookmarks, I wonder whether your places.sqlite file (stores history and bookmarks) in your profile has become corrupted. You might need to rename that file and allow Firefox to create a new one before you can save new bookmarks again. I wouldn't delete the file just yet, as it might contain some useful stuff.
