Most of my bookmarks have lost their icons and are redirected to the BBC News website. Why? Is this a virus? How do I get them back?

My icons are missing from my bookmarks and when I click on let's say chase banking, I am taken to BBC News.

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

Open the mail app then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slide to power off thing appears. Without sliding the bar, press and hold the home button until the app quits.
Also clear the mail app from multitasking bar too. Then open mail app and check again

HT4859 I got a new iPad mini and It said that I didn't have anything in my iCloud backup but I had all 800 of my pictures on it. How do I get them back?

I got a new iPad mini and It said that I didn't have anything in my iCloud backup but I had all 800 of my pictures on it. How do I get them back?

The new one must have been in inventory for a while or it would have the latest iOS.
To update it, connect it to your computer and open iTunes. You may be prompted by iTunes that a newer version is available; if so, choose Download and Install to update it to iOS 6.1.3.
If you don't get this prompt, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then click on the Summary tab at the top. On the Summary tab, click Check for Update. You should then be prompted that there is an update available and you can update your iPad.
After updating, as mentioned in the posts above, set it up as a new iPad, eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go back through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. You should now be able to choose your backup to restore from. Be sure your iPad is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

I foolishly removed the firefox toolbar ( meaning I have no file,view, edit, bookmark, or any other kind of tab including the search box or even a address bar). How can I get them back without reinstalling firefox please?

Hi, I wanted more room to view on the web, so I thought I'd get rid of some of the toolbars that were taking up space. I went to the edit tab (i think) and then selected toolbars and then just unticked the ones I wanted to lose.Worked like a charm...
Only problem was that I unticked the wrong one. Now I can't search on the web or enter a url as there is nothing there anymore. Any I do mean NOTHING expect my roboform toolbar and the "Getting Started" Firefox tab just above that.
Reason I stressed the "nothing" is because I went on yahoo answers and someone just said...go to edit and...He obviously didn't get that I don't have any kind of firefox tabs left on my browser ( except for the "getting started" tab)
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall as I'm worried I'll lose my bookmarked pages.
Would be really grateful if you could advise me of an alternative solution to getting my tabs, search bar and address bar back please?
Many thanks
Paul
ps as I don't have any tabs I can't tell you which version I have installed, but your clever software looks like it's got it right.

Try this: press F10 or tap the Alt key to display the menu bar temporarily, then
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
If that doesn't work, you could reset your toolbars to factory default using Firefox's Safe Mode. First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, start Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode], and check only the box to reset toolbars. Be careful not to "reset" anything else if you didn't back up.
Hope this helps.

HT204074 I have an iPod nano and I had purchased from iTunes random songs and downloaded lots of my personal albums and now they are gone from my iTunes account and they are in SyncUp. I never meant for that to happen. How do I get them back to my iTune

I have an iPod nano. Somehow an update for SyncUp appeared and I updated it. Now all the music from my iTunes account including songs I purchased and my own personal albums are all on SyncUp. I definitely did not want that to happen. How do I get my music back to my iTunes account? Thank you.

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

Hi ckuan,
Thanks alot for the advice - great to see there are so many helpful people out there . Anyway, I followed your instructions and although some of the apps transferred from i tunes to my iPad the first time, unfortunately some of the apps that I selected to transfer (which were purchased) did not transfer. There were only a few but it would have been great to have got them back onto my iPad!
Chow for now!

I got an Icloud account and lost all my contacts from my Iphone 3s. how do I get them back?

I had to change my icloud account and all of my contacts disappeared from my phone contacts.
How do I get them back???? I lost hundreds of important personal and business contacts.
I tried to sync it when I got home with my Mac, but still all of my contacts are gone.
Where the heck are they? Why did they go? How can I get them back?

Do you have an iCloud back up as well? If so restoring from there may be an option

I have lost the glyphs that sit on the left side of my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

I have lost the glyphs that sit on the left side of my bookmarks. How do I get them back? They have been there, but as of a few days, they are gone.

Hi carl82,
Can you be more specific as to what is missing? What was the function of these ''glyphs''? You might want to try starting Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the ''Option'' key while Firefox is starting. If you disable all themes and add-ons and everything looks right again, you can try turning things back on one by one until you find the culprit.
Do you mean the icons for your bookmarks are missing? If that's the case, you should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#os=mac&browser=fx9 this article] that discusses some of the issues with the latest build of Firefox.
There is some information in there that should help you to resolve your issue. Luckily, it is a very easy fix.
Hopefully this helps!

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 have lost the icons for Word, Excel, etc. from the bottom of my screen - how do I get them back?

I have lost the icons for Word, Excel, iTunes, etc. from the bottom of my desktop - how do I get them back?

Easy-these are just aliases. Do a cloverleaf+F/command+F (Find) and they should appear. Either create an alias and drag it to the dock-or there's an "add to Dock" command in the Finder. so click on whichever app you'd like to add to the Dock, then add to Dock and it should appear there. If something isn't in the Dock that doesn't mean it's gone for good. It's just an alias
well, hope that helped
