Lost my bookmarks when I reinstalled Firefox. How can I get them back?

I have sent a message, it appears I am sending it again. I removed then reinstalled my firefox browser. I didn't tick the box that suggested I save my passwords etc. When I reinstalled Firefox I no longer have my bookmarks can I retreive them?

Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
#Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
#*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
#*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
# At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
# Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
# In the new window that appears, click OK.
# Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
If you are having trouble above, check for a corrupt places.sqlite.

I lost my safari and mail icons. How can I get them back in the screen?

I lost my safari and mail icons on the ipad screen. How can I get them back or where can I find them?

Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

The Apple Store recommended wiping and reloading software on my Mac Mini yesterday. In the process I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. How can I get them back?

I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text. They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it. I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process. How can I get them back. The App store says they are already installed.

What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items. Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
Thank you all for your help.

Lost my bookmarks about a week ago and can't get them back no matter what I try? They Just disappeared?

Been using Yahoo toolbar for a long time. Suddenly my bookmarks have disappeared. How do I get them back. Notice other people seem to be having this issue as well.

There's a new version of that Yahoo Toolbar extension for Firefox.
Get it here.
https://toolbar.yahoo.com/?.intl=us
If you have any problem installing it from that page ''(as reported by other users)'', right-click the '''Download Now''' and use '''Save Link As...'''.
Then drag the XPI file into the browser window to install it.

I lost my bookmarks, history & my most visited, how do I get them back?

I don't know what I did, but I lost my bookmarks, history & most visited, can I get these back?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

When I open Safari with Macbook Pro my bookmark subfolders are hidden. How can I get them back?

I have set up number of subfolders in Safari but they have disappeared into thin air. I know they are still there because if I create a new bookmark it gives me these subfolders as an option to save to. How can I get my subfolders back. I am using a Macbook Pro

If you are using iCloud open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Safari, then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to sync the data.

My bookmarks vanished what happend? how can I get them back?

When I opened Fire fox my bookmarks menu and toolbar were gone what happened? What can I do to get them back? I had over 30 items in bookmarks.

If you use the same profile folder with different Firefox versions then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Lost all my emails in my inbox, how can I get them back

I am told I can contact Firefox and they can put them back. Is that so, and how do I contact Firefox?

Thank you for your reply.
I realized that if I went to Internet Explorer, I could get my emails back. You go to delete and there is a choice to recover deleted emails. When I did thatl 33 emails went into deleted. Then I just picked the ones that go into my inbox and delete the rest.

How were they syncing before; were they in iCloud or maybe in one of your email accounts?

After my computer crashed, i reinstalled itunes but lost most of my purchased items. How can i get them back without paying for them again?

so after the annoying reintallment of everything on my computer, there were a bunch of music and app that i have not backed up on an external HD. now that itunes hasx been re-installed, i want those items back, but don't want to sync my iphone for fear of losing everything on the phone (apps, music, etc.) that were purchased. Any suggestions?

Log into your iTunes account on the new comptuer and when you hook up your iPhone there will be a option to reverese sync your iTunes purchased content ONLY, back into iTunes.

I reinstalled Firefox and lost bookmarks from my computer, how can I get them back (sync ?)from my android phone ?

My bookmarks are really gone from my computer but I have them in my android phone.
I've tried to use this sync but it doesn't work. How can I get them back to the computer from my android phone ?
I have checked also backup files but they are really gone.

Hi penami,
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you lost your bookmarks. In order to check if they are still there you can look in the profile folder on the computer [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
As for syncing from the android, it is possible to add the account to the desktop and the two should merge.

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.

I've lost the file, edit, bookmarks, tools headings. How can i get them back?

I've lost my headings -- file, edit, bookmarks, tools. How can I get them back?

Hello Rick.
Press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them

I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them. I have already tried to restore through my PC but the photos are still not there. Any thoughts?

If you haven't backup up your phone, then your photos are gone.
In addition you should import your photos to your PC, just like a ditigal camera, as a secondary backup in case you lose your pics you could always sync it back using Itunes.
