  • I have lost all of my FAVORITES (tabs, not bookmarks) after an update! How do I get them back now?

    After an update of Firefox, I lost all my tabs (not bookmarks). I searched all the help info and found nothing that said how to replace tabs only bookmarks. Please help, this is most frustrating!

    If those tabs aren't in History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then they are probably lost.
    You can try to search them in the History if you haven't bookmarked them.
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • When I updated to IOS 6.1, I lost all of my phone contacts and favorites.  Is there any way to retrieve them?

    When I updated my iphone 5 to IOS 6.1, I lost all of my favorites adn contacts.  Is there any way to retrieve them?

    if you wanna get back your pictures and notes restore your friend iphone on your pc but make sure that your friend had the same name of your iphone and the same verison of the old sofware before you update , after that all your contact and note and everything are on your friend iphone , you can copy them in a way or another , I did this with my sister iphone , no matter what is the two iphone's generation the sofware verison is the trick xxx
    and for the contacts you can locate the contact folder at your pc , and copy them into your device one way or another xxx

  • Lost-All bookmarks and bookmark folders

    All my bookmarks and bookmark folders have disappeared. How do I recover them? I am using safari 1.3.2 Can anyone help with this?

    warning: it's long
    I too lost all my bookmarks/folders in Safari -- after a Verizon DSL install-induced browser hi-jacking. See http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/?p=78
    for a story that captures my own experience nearly to the last detail. But, unfortunately, unlike the blog author my bookmarks.plist was not a back up of my extensive bookmark collection -- it was a big zero, like some other responders to that reported.
    I am a total amateur, just your basic user, and couldn't follow the code discussion toward the bottom of the blog, it's over my head. But, although not knowledgable, I am desperate and persistent and rarely accept "can't be done" answers, even if I don't really know what I'm doing and keep getting that same answer.
    I tried all the standard suggestions so far, searching .plists, searching my hd for anything safari, anything bookmark, anything .html. Read many of the discussions on lost bookmarks, tried everything I could understand how to do.
    I stumbled upon in the ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari over a thousand files with crazy number/character names that all have suffix ".webbookmark" I probably did have over 1000 bookmarks. When I double click one of those .webbookmark files in that folder, a webpage springs forth in Safari, one of my former bookmarks. Also, click in the finder on one of those ~.webbookmark file and 'get info' and it shows the .html file name and bookmark name for it.
    I believe this is somehow my old bookmark collection, and not a history cache, for various reasons: upon clicking, I recognize the webpage that appears and I know bookmarked anywhere from a few months ago, as well as some oldies, but have not visited recently. Random spot checking seems like no sites I recently visited but did not bookmark are showing up.
    Would not be fun to double click every one of the 1000+ .webbookmark files in the metadata/Safari to open the page it represents and then "add bookmark" in Safari, to restore my bookmarks. Is there some automatic way of doing that? Am I not understanding the metadata folders enough and have tricked myself into believing they are my real bookmarks and not history or useless stuff. It's totally possible my ignorant forays and fleeting glimpses (but not, out of the corner of my eye....) are fool's gold.
    Can someone let me know whether this is worth pursuing, and if so, how, and if so how so in plain terms because of my limited knowledge and floundering around without understanding what I'm doing and what it means.
    I know, I know, I should have backed up before I did the *&^@! install, I should back up before I do anything, and do it regularly anyway. Don't laugh too hard now, but get this, when I did back up before, I didn't know what I was doing and just backed up "documents" folder (see, told you I was ignorant; but, older and wiser now...) But I had no idea something like getting DSL would screw up my browser (and my apple mail -- that's a different awful story too, still unresolved) and who knows what else.
    No, I have not used another browser since early 2005, and wasn't as 'bookmark crazy' then as I've been the last few years (or my life wasn't as complicated then and I didn't need to bookmark a lot of important, and I mean important, as well as obscure sites, that I don't need on a daily basis, but do need, but don't want to search through thousands of google hits to find the right one, when I realize I need it again...). Yes, sure, i will salvage what I can from IE and Netscape although they're way incomplete and frozen in time of simpler days.
    A thousand curses upon my evil DSL provider who thinks browser/mail/etc. hi-jacking is fun and smart PR.
    I will appreciate any help. (and it's understood if the real answer is "can't be done;" worth trying here though) Just point me to the right discussion if this has already been attended to.
    Thanks!

  • Hi apple user. I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Tried hold home button with sleep button but it doesn't get back my safari bookmarks. I also have reset without erasing my iPad data but still doesn't work. Help me get back my safari iPad bookmarks.

    Hi, I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Have tried reset without erasing data and hold home and sleep button together but when go to safari all safari bookmarks still lost. Is there any case help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks ? Currently my safari is hanged, can't surf webs or anything. I saw the safari tab on iCloud is on, but I don't know using iCloud. Please help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks. I have contact Apple but could not set chat session. I have my Apple ID registered same with iCloud, also same during the time I have all iPad safari bookmarks lost. My iPad never synced on computer since I bought it with set at local store. Please help me get my iPad safari bookmarks back, thanks.

    Hi, I quitted Safari and press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously unti the Ipad turn off and on with the logo Apple appears but it has hanged on and fixed to the point. I do it again hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously and the Ipad turn off and on again with the Apple logo but it still is hanged on the same point. I have do it a few more time, it still hanged to the same point for few hours with no change (like picture):
    I think my Ipad is fault now. I guess I must connect it to the computer with itune, or something. So my case is this: at the moment everytime I hold the Home and Sleep buttons the Ipad always off and reappear with the Apple logo and be hanged on (like the pic), and I need restoring my Ipad Safari bookmarks... so I guess I need using Itune or something to get back the Ipad then using Icloud or blah. Please guide me for the step, Im not sure if connect to PC, if any that my Ipad data would lost, or is there anyway that I also can get back Ipad Safari Bookmarks after connecting to PC, also the how using Icloud. There is no Apple store or service store in my country so I think I must do it my self. Feel free to share your guide, thanks.

  • Lost favorites in safari

    I have been continually losing my Favorites in Safari.  They just seem to disappear every so often.  They were all there yesterday and today they are gone.  Any help would be appreciated.

    It is a guess, but I suspect that syncing through iCloud is somehow clearing your favorites.
    I would go to system preferences>icloud and uncheck safari. Then I would go to system preferences>internet accounts and highlight iCloud and uncheck safari (the order may need to be reversed.
    This would, at least, remove a possible variable from the problem.
    The bookmarks are stored in your home folder (~). ~library>safari> bookmarks.plist.

  • Can't create new bookmarks in safari. Lost all my existing book marks

    Lost all bookmarks, cannot create new ones.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Quit Safari.
    Select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the folder open.
    Relaunch Safari. It will open with the default set of bookmarks. Delete them all. Select
              File ▹ Import from... (or Import Bookmarks...)
    from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Arrange the bookmarks as you wish.
    If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post your results.

  • HELP...Sync to PC iTunes Lost all Safari Bookmarks

    I just sync my iPad with iTunes 10.0.1.22 using my Lenovo Thinkpad laptop which is running Microsoft Vista and somehow lost all my safari bookmarks on my iPad. What I think cause the problem was I checked to sync my Internet Explorer bookmarks which somehow completely erased my bookmarks on the iPad.
    How can I recover these bookmarks which were over 500!!!. I sync to my PC on a daily basis and just backed up my entire laptop so if I can find the file which contains the safari bookmarks, hopefully I can just replace that file on my PC and be back in business. Any hints or suggestions would be really appreciated....

    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\Bookmarks.plist
    Launch Safari on your PC. Drag the Bookmarks.plist file into your Safari browser window.
    If that doesn't work, post in the Safari for Windows forum and ask how to import that Bookmarks.plist file back into Safari. http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1188

  • HT201302 My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos.  I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone.  How do I now download those photos to my new computer?

    My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos.  I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone.  How do I now download those photos to my new computer.  Same thing with my iTunes music library.

    Unfortunately, I did not have the photos stored seperately.  When I set up iTunes on the new computer, I clicked "sync photos" and it said it would sync to the photos in the my pictures folder on the computer.  This is a new computer, so the folder is empty.  I am hesitant to allow the sync, because I do not want to wipe those photos from my iPhone, and never see them again.  This is a terrible spot to be in. 
    I have also lost my iTunes music library for the computer.  I subscribed to itunes Match, thinking it would upload my music from my phone to iCloud.  It only added 57 songs that I had purchased on the store previously.  None of the cd's I added where transferred.

    Were your boookmarks synced to her Safari?

  • Ok so we bought an ipodtouch for my daughter and when she connected to the computer all of a sudden she lost all her pics and she can no longer connect to the app store on  her ipod.. any suggestions why and what can be done?

    ok so we bought an ipod touch for my daughter and when she connected it to the computer after she downloaded itunes, she was asked if it was her ipod or a new one, so she clicked on her ipod and lost all her recent pics plus is unable to locate the app store on her safari on her ipod touch. any suggestions as to what went wrong or what should be done ? should we restore or what?
    much appreciated if there is anyone else who had this happen to them.

    - The iPod got erased since it sounds iTunes identified that the iPod has been synced with another computer and she said yes to making this computer her syncing computer. It could also she restored the iPod from the backup of another iPod, iPhone or iPad that was in iTunes. If in iTunes you go to Preferences>Devices is there a backup listed for her iPod with a date/time when she first connected the iPod to the computer. If so then restore the iPod from that backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Note synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup,
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Regarding the App store. The App store is not in Safari. It is a separate app. Also, could the Apple store be hidden by Restrictions? Settings>General>Restrictions. Further, can you find the App store via the Spotlight search on the iPod?
