Lost booknamrks sub folders including the bookmarks after restoring from a backup file, how can i retore my bookmarks?

I was organizing my bookmarks, by mistake I deleted a folder, after that I restored from a back up file (from the library window), instead of getting my bookmarks restored, I've lost all the sub folders including the bookmarks within!!! Now i only have the bookmarks in the unsorted bookmarks folder. What went wrong here and how can i get my bookmarks back?

For the next time that this happens:
If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.<br />
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.<br />
If it didn't work then you can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.<br />
This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created.<br />
<br />
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
In that case you need to export the current bookmarks to an HTML file before doing the restore and import that HTML file after you have restored the JSON backup.<br />
You can remove duplicates with the CheckPlaces extension or you can copy the existing bookmarks to the clipboard before restoring the JSON backup and Paste them back afterward.

  • Why cant I download apps after restoring from a backup? How to fix?

    After I restored my ipod from a backup a month ago, my ipod wont let me download apps. It says "Unable to download app at this time". The thing is I can download when connected to my computer, and when new apps are downloaded on my other devices, they auto-download onto my ipod (Like they did before the restore from the backup) How can I download apps again without connectig to my computer or downloading them on other devices?

    Have you tried when connect to another network?
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?

    i lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • When I click on GBookmarks the menu doesn't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again?

    When I click on GBookmarks on the menu bar, my bookmarks don't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again? What shows up now when I click on the GBookmarks are 4 choices: Add bookmarks, manage bookmarks, options, and refresh. How can I get my menu of booksmarks to drop down again? I can go to manage bookmarks and then find my bookmarks, but it's a 3 step process now instead of one. What happened here?

    The reviews for the GBookmarks extension agree that there is some problem recently.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/gbookmarks-google-bookmarks-fo/
    The support page lists an email address for support: http://www.suchisoft.com/ext/gbookmarks.php
    I ran a web search for other recent discussion and didn't come up with any answers. Hopefully the extension's author has time to look into it.

    Why don't you just restore the to your pc from your most recent backup? You'll get the warning about erasing the media on the phone, but since you'll have all of your media and apps restored from backup, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

    Install the v10.6.7 combo update.
    Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

    Another way is to open your Time Machine back up or clone (if you have one) and copy the App Store app from the /Applications to your Macintosh HD's /Application folder.
    Right click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar.
    Select Enter Time Machine; then navigate to a date you know it was still there and copy if from the /Applications folder.

  • Time Machine will not let me restore from recent backups.  I can see them on the external drive but will not restore sooner that June of 2013!  Any suggestions?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • I got a new iphone 6.  When I restore my phone from my icloud backup my most recent photos and messages not restored from icloud backup.  How do I get the most recent backup onto my new phone?

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.  
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
    Cheers, 
    Jason H.  

  • HT201269 my new iphone 5c does not give me the option to restore from icloud backup

    I am trying to transfer the data from my old phone to my new one and my new 5c does not give me the option to restore from icloud backup
    So now what do I do

    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings.
    Once this is done, it will ask you to set your phone up again.  You can choose to restore from your iCloud backup.

  • I hit Reset and lost everything.  I have the apple and a line under it.  How can I get the Home Page back?

    How can I get back to the Home Page?  I hit reset and lost everything.  I have a dark screen with the white apple and a line under it. 

    Wait until it finishes restoring. It would be a good idea to connect it to the charger so it won't run out of power during this process.

  • I pressed"SYNC" and lost all the songs I downloaded from many cd's, how can I get all of them back? please help. I'm so frustrated!

    i pressed "SYNC" and lost all the songs from many cd's that I loaded to my library, how can I get them all back?

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

  • I deleted my phone from the list after trying to back it up how can I get it back and back up my phone , the only one showing on the phone is my ipad which is synced to it

    I wanted to back up my phone as have bought a new 6 so went to settings I cloud then back up but it wouldn't turn on . I went in to view the backups and it wasn't done since September last year , then I clicked on my phone detail and made a mistake of pressing delete back up . the phone now isn't listed just my ipad which is linked to the phone . So how can I back this phone up please and perhaps restore the phone detail in backups

    Your title asks "How do I get my iPhone information back on my (iPhone)?
    You also said "I have yet to back it up."  Therefore, all your information that had been on your iPhone is now gone.
    Your iPhone has (and will continue to) been refreshed from iTunes.

  • Gray Screen of Doom after restoring from TM backup . . .

    OK here's what happened:
    I tried installing Vista (32bit and home edition) via boot camp but it asked me to repartition my Mac HD *because some files could not be moved* to a single osx journal.
    So I used TM to backup my system before popping in the Snow Leopard installation DVD and formatting + reinstalling OSX. After I got my re-installed system up and going, I popped in the Vista CD again and successfuly installed Windows.
    Then, I jumped back on my mac to restore it from a backup (around 250 GB backup); so I rebooted from the OSX DVD again, and selected restore from backup via TM. All was going well, and I left it on overnight while it restored (About 6 hours) . . .
    When I checked this morning, my iMac had fallen asleep, so I nudged it awake and found that the restore had been successful and that I needed to restart. Hence, I did.
    Upon system restart, the apple logo of course popped out and things were looking well, when suddenly that grey box containing international messages of having to hold down the power button popped out. I did, and the same thing happened when I rebooted. Again and again and again.
    So I booted it from Windows now, and making this post.
    Things I've tried:
    -Booted from OSX DVD, used repair disk/disk permissions in disk utility on my Mac HD (it said it was OK)
    Things I've got in my mind to try:
    -Re-restore from the Backup via the OSX DVD again, this time sticking around to restart it upon finish without too much delay (even though I"m not sure if that has anything to do with it)
    -Re-install OSX via DVD, and then try restoring.
    I will update this when I try these; but in the meantime, I was hoping someone had an easier solution that doesn't require too much time consumption.

    That's a *kernel panic.*
    They are usually caused by hardware problems, but can be software.
    Disconnect all peripherals, except keyboard and mouse. Reconnect one at a time to see if you can find the culprit.
    If that's no help, run the Apple Hardware Test, from the separate disc that came with your Mac.
