My bookmarks and history have disappeared, and I no longer have a FF profile which is supposed to be located in Library/Application Support. Any suggestions on how to resolve? I'm most concerned with recovering my bookmarks.

I have tried restarting my computer, creating a new places database (there is no FF profile in Application Support so cannot create a new one), and restoring bookmark back-ups, none of which have resolved the problem.

Problem solved! I got fed up dealing with Firefox without any history or bookmarks for 2 months and had lost hope of ever recovering my bookmarks. So I decided to uninstall Firefox and then re-install it so I could at least use Firefox properly and just start over with bookmarks. After re-installing and opening for the first time, all of my bookmarks were there!
To uninstall drag the Firefox icon from the Applications folder into the trash. I emptied the trash (not sure if necessary). I then downloaded the latest version of firefox from mozilla.com and followed the prompts to install. After opening for the first time, all of my bookmarks were there, as well as the history up to the time the issues began two months ago.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

IWeb is not in libraries application support any more. How can I find my website and move it to a different computer?

iWeb is not in libraries>application support any more. How can I find my website and move it to a different computer?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Then you will be able to navigate to the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and get the domain.sites file for copying to the other Mac.

My bookmarks and history keep disappearing and the backup system isn't working (this has happened a half a dozen times in the last few weeks). Any ideas why?

I have manually recreated my list of bookmarks in Firefox several times now only to come back (days) later and find they have disappeared. Probably related (but less concerning) is the fact that the browsing history also seems to have been cleared.
My browser is set to remember my history and I haven't been using the private browsing option. The backup/restore option for the bookmarks doesn't seem to be functioning, either, because even when I select a day on which I know there were functioning bookmarks, "restoring" to that day does absolutely nothing.
The computer in question is my desktop at work, and I haven't been in the office much over the summer, so I didn't know what updates had been installed and when, so I was hopeful that updates were somehow responsible. However, the bookmarks I saved this past Friday were lost over the weekend, and according to the update history, no new updates were installed.
Before I left the office on Friday, I tried restarting the browser and the computer in an attempt to figure out what was triggering this deletion; neither of those two actions had any effect -- the history and bookmarks were all still in tact after the restarts.
Any thoughts?

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

Today my pinned apps, tab groups and history ALL disappeared, and my settings were changed to "Clear history when Firefox closes." How can this happen!?

I've had several pinned apps, tab groups etc that always reappeared when I closed and opened Firefox. I always had history stored without a problem.
Today I opened Firefox, and my pinned apps, tab groups, and history were all gone, and the option to Clear history when Firefox closed was checked. I did NOT do that. How could that happen? I definitely need to avoid this happening again!!
Please help! Thanks!

If you didn't do that yourself and nobody else has used the computer then an extension may have made that change.
I see in your list that you have some Norton extensions (toolbars) installed that could cause it, but others may do this as well.

My safari just started crashing and coming up with an error that says CrystalDVDTo.png forced Safari to quit unexpectedly. I am not sure what to do or even what this is. I have done various searches for this plug-in but cannot come up with much. I went to Help>Installed Plug-ins and nothing appeared. What can I do?

You’ve been infected with the “Flashback” malware. See this Apple support document:
About Flashback malware
Back up all data, if you haven't already done so.
Select  ▹ Software Update to install the latest Java update, as well as any other updates available for your system. That should clear the infection.
Change every Internet password you have, starting with banking passwords. Check all financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Take this step only after you’ve secured your system in the preceding step, not before.

HT4972 hello friends i have a problem in my ipod touch it has 4.2.1 version of software but it doesnot supports any aps so how to update the ios please anybody help me..

hello friends i have a problem in my ipod touch 3g it has 4.2.1 version of software but it doesnot supports any apps so how to update the ios 5 or more than this please anybody help me..i am in trouble.

I suspect you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
Otherwise connect to yor computer and update via iTunes. Yo need iTunes 10 or later on the computer.
To more easily find compatilbe apps for 4.2.1
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

All my images have disappear and how do I get them back

All my images in all Firefox pages have disappeared. You used to have a button that you could check off to load all images automatically. But its not there in this version on Firefox V24. Worse when this computer a laptop,sync with my desktop computer all images disappeared there as well
How do I get them back, and don't tell me I have to give permissions for each page, as I tried that and it didn't work either.

The setting is a little harder to access now, but here's how you do it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''perm''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If '''permissions.default.image''' is bolded ("user set") or for some other reason not set to the default value of 1, right-click it and choose Reset.
To confirm that this worked, you can switch back to the other tab and reload. Success?

All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back.

All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back. When I check the settings all the thumbnails have the site shown in the details so should be showing the site in the thumbnail, but they're just blank. I uninstalled Speed Dial and installed it again, but to no avail. Something is stopping the image appearing but don't know what. I paused blocking on Ghostery, but that makes no difference. Any suggestions would be welcome!

When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

You shouldn't wait that long to ask advice. Firefox only keeps a (rotating) backup of bookmarks for the last 5 days that you started Firefox. So you may be out of luck.
You can check that you still use your old default profile that had your bookmarks.<br />
