Lost bookmarks, get msg. 'unable to process backup file. Also, cannot save new bookmarks

Running Firefox on Windows 7 64kb. Bookmarks disappeared. Can find backups but not recognized.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I am trying to restore bookmarks to Version 5 from a backup I made from Version 4.+. I get an error message "Unable to process backup file." What's wrong?

    I made a backup of my bookmarks when I was running Firefox Version 4+ (stored in a "json" file on a thumb drive). My primary hard disk crashed and when I down loaded Firefox on to a new hard drive, I got version 5.0. When I tried to restore the saved bookmarks, I got an error message that says "Unable to process backup file."

  • Solved "Error message": Unable to process backup file .json of bookmarks saved from different computer

    Want to move bookmarks from old laptop running Firefox 3.1.6 and Win XP to new laptop running Win 7 64-bit and FF 3.1.6 which I just installed. On new laptop I browsed from FF to Restore bookmarks from file I had saved from old laptop (edit to add: it is about 4500kb). The file (bookmarks-2010-10-15.json) is NOT write protected. FF reports "Unable to process backup file".
    I have shut down FF and rebooting computer. I am able to restore a bookmark file that was created on new laptop but NOT the one saved from old laptop so I do NOT think the file that the knowledge base (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox) refers to as potentially problematic is the problem in my case. I do NOT want to proceed with the other suggestions (create new profile and etc.) for fear of creating even more problems.
    Appreciate your advice - I have probably a 1000 or more bookmarks to move and so this is vital and probably typical of anyone with a new computer.

    PROBLEM SOLVED I did backup from old laptop again both as .json file and as an export to html. This time the .json file worked to restore from it.
    I had read on a different thread here about using the html version and was going to give that a try but also made the new .json at the same time to see if I could get that to work - which it did. I expect that either approach gives the same results and so if one approach is not working for you perhaps the other approach will take care of it.

  • When installing Adobe Captivate I get msg: unable to set-up control panel

    When installing Adobe Captivate I get msg: unable to set-up control panel..Does anyone know how to resolve?

    Hi,
    It seems that Captivate is not downloaded completely. Only one file is downloaded(i.e. .exe) , .7z file is missing.  You can follow the below instructions to download Captivate 7 via direct links.
    In order to download Adobe Captivate 7.0 Windows English, open the link mentioned below and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate
    Once you sign In with your Adobe Id and password, you will be redirected to Adobe Captivate 7.0 download page, Do not click on download. Kindly stay on that page and paste the below two links on the Trail Page Address Bar  one by one and save the files on your system at same location:
    http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/7/win32/Captivate_7_LS21.7z
    http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/7/win32/Captivate_7_LS21.exe
    When both the files finish downloading, then run the second file (.exe) which will start extracting the first file (.7z) and will start installing Adobe Captivate 7.0 on your computer.

    Verify the backup.
    Is this TM you are using? TM to airport extreme connected hard disk are known to be fragile at best.

    make sure the disk is available and online..
    But if it is not working.. then you will have to wipe and start again.

    If this is not TM then also verify the source disk.

  • Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?

    I did a manual backup and wanted to restore the iPhone, but iTunes forced me to update the iPhone before allowing me to restore the iPhone...
    After updating, I realised that iTunes created a backup automatically without confirming with me, and now the latest backup file is not the one I wanted.
    Is there a way to get back the backup file I manually backup?

    Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?
    No, to the best of my knowledge the device backup area is simply updated with new information each time the device is backed up so there are no previous versions preserved. Once a backup has been used to restore a device however it gets locked and dated so that you could return back to that snapshot at a later date.
    Your manual backup should have simply updated the backup with any new data since the last automatic backup. Upgrading should not have overwritten a backup taken just before the upgrade with a, presumably, empty state. Have you actually tried to restore the current backup that is available? It may have what you want after all. You might like to try backing up the current state of the device to iCloud first, or if you have access to another computer back it up to that.
    N.b. I always disable automatic syncing of devices so that I am in better control of when data starts to be written, and in which direction it flows.

  • My bookmarks are disappearing/reappearing randomly and I cannot save new ones

    Since this morning 8/17 I have had an odd problem with my bookmarks. Initially both my Blogs and News and Views sub-folders came up empty while nothing else was affected and the bookmarks in them were not to be found elsewhere. Later, after a reboot, I was able to get back some but by no means all of the ones in those folders. I also cannot save any new bookmarks (which would have solved the problem since I can look up the websites I'm currently missing). Also the history/show all button brings up the bookmark menu but it is not saving anything as 'show all today' comes up empty.
    The only thing I can think of was that last night, while trying to solve an unrelated problem, I went to tools>options>privacy and cleared my history from there. Unfortunately, I was not having this problem right after that although I rebooted my computer afterwards.
    I just updated firefox a few minutes ago so it isn't an upgrade issue, I think.
    What the heck is going on?

    It sounds like the file that stores bookmarks and History may be damaged. See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite Locked or damaged places.sqlite - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

  • Unable to process flat-files without delimiters in ODI 11.1.1.7

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to process a flat file using ODI 11.1.1.7 (installed on Windows and mounted on Oracle 11g Database).  The flat-file is a normal ASCII file coming from mainframes machine and has no delimiters (column as well as rows).  The first 48 characters is ROW 1, from character 49 to 96 is ROW 2 and so on.  I am unable to create a DataStore for this file in ODI.  If I reverse engineer using the file RKM, it is creating a datastore with over 2000 columns which is not the case (actual file layout given below).  The absence of a row delimiter is making ODI think that the entire file has only one single row. 
    I am also unable to create a DataStore manually. If I am not providing any value for the "row delimiter" it is throwing me an error.  However, I am able to process this file using SQL*Loader (there is a FIX option available where we can specify the length of a row). 
    Is there a way to do it from within ODI?  I tried to modify a KM to create a control file for SQL*Loader and execute it but the control file is not getting generated as expected.
    File Layout:
    Column 1 - Warrant Number (Position 1 - 9) - Number
    Column 2 - Type (Position 10-10) - Number
    Column 3 - Warrant Amount (Position 11-18) - Packed Decimal Signed
    Column 4 - Issue Fund (Position 19-22) - String
    Column 5 - Issue Sub Fund (Position 23-24) - String
    Column 6 - Filler (Position 25-48) - String
    Thanks

  • How To Print After Error Msg: Unable to convert postscript file

    We installed "Maverick" on our MacBook Pro and our printer is a HP 8600.  We were unsuccessful in getting our Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 to print our PDF files.  Instead, we got the error msg: Printing Stopped: unable to convert postscript file.  We have used this application for years without any problems.  How do we solve this problem so that our application WILL "convert postscript file" or do we have to spend several hundred dollars to upgrade?

    I think we solved the problem.  Instead of looking for the solution via Adobe, we went to our printer info online, which was the HP OfficeJet 8600.  We found special printer drivers for our newly installed Maverick operating system for our MacBook Pro.  After downloading and installing the new drivers per the directions, we tested printing a pdf document and it was printed without any problem.

  • Unable to process huge files in SFTP BASED PROXY SERVICE

    Hi,
    I credted osb project which will have sftp based proxy and sftp based business service.After completing the development i tested the fie transfer through WINSCP ,but my sftp based proxy was picking the files but i am unable to see the files in the output directory for huge files,for small file it is coming after aquite long time .please assist me .

    If you enable content streaming then you cant access the file/message content within the Proxy service and can not perform actions like Replace or perform transformations on the content. Use streaming for pass through scenarios only. If you want to read a large file and also perform transformations on content I would recommend using JCA Adapter for FTP and try reading records from file in batches, a few records at a time. Just so we know the requirement better, what is the file size and what is the format of the content?

  • Lost bookmarks, force quit and re-boot with no change. still cannot save new bookmarks. is there a solution?

    help

    Hello Badgeptfc
    I would try first to reset all settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data by doing this and test it out. If you still cannot save a bookmark, then you will need to restore your iPad and not restore from back up. The instructions for restoring are outlined in the article below.
