My bookmarks have disappeared after upgrading to v.5. View booksmarks Toolbar is checked. How do I restore them?

I have found backups in bookmarks backup file, which is a start, but I am unclear how to restore from there. How do I do it.

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

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Have you failed to utilize the device as designed?

  • ICal event have disappeared after upgrading to Lion. Please help!

    After upgrading to Lion, pre-existed calendar events (Newer ones) have disappeared. How can I recover?

    Greetings Alex,
    If you have a backup of your computer from before you upgraded then you can restore the data from your backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    --- Let us know if you have a backup and if so, what type it is and we can tell you how to restore your calendars.
    --- If you don't have a backup, consider starting one following the article above ASAP.  Anyone with information they care about on their computer should have a backup.  It is a hard lesson that every computer user learns at least once.
    If you do not have a backup from before you upgraded:
    1. Make an iCal backup so you don't lose what you have currently:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove all files and folders that start with this phrase)
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove all files and folders that start with this phrase.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    ---NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion:
    4. Open iCal and see if the events you are looking for magically reappear.
    If the events don't appear and you don't have a backup or have the events on another device like an iPhone or iPad then your only other option would be to use data recovery software or a data recovery company to try to get the data back (although it might be easier to just re-create the data as best you can).
    Data Recovery software examples:

    http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/
    http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products _id=1
    You can contact a local Apple Authorized Provider to see if they offer data recovery services: http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
    There are many nationwide / worldwide data recovery companies out there.  Here are a few examples:

    Hope that helps and best of luck to you.

  • Photo Projects in Aperture Have Disappeared after upgrading to Aperture 3.2.1

    I am running Aperture 3.2.1 on a MacBookPro 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4GB RAM. The machine was purchased in November 2010. I have no idea what has caused this and can only guess that it was caused by the software update. I can only view 1 album that had about 12 photos and now only has 3.
    I had also created several smart albums that have disappeared.
    I have never been able to figure out a similar problem of projects disappearing on my G5 mac using Aperture 1.5. However, in the case of the G5, I can still see the photos in the library but not in the named project.

    I can't believe the solution was that simple! I was in a different library that I may have created intially. You have saved me from dispair. Thank you.

  • After upgrading to Firefox 4 in my Windows XP desktop, how do I restore to Organize Bookmarks... selection, which is no longer visible in the Bookmarks menu or in any other menu?

    Typo; should be "how do I restore the Organize Bookmarks... selection". This selection also does not exist when I manually change Firefox to show the new "Firefox" orange menu tab at the upper left corner of the Firefox window.

    OK, that works. In addition, just before receiving your response, I discovered that History --> Show All History brings up the identical "Show All Bookmarks" Library popup that includes the export and import Bookmark options (which is what I was looking for all along).
    If anyone from the Mozilla-Firefox organization reads this, please update Firefox Help concerning the Bookmark maintenance functions. Help still refers only to pre-Firefox 4 versions, and is no help here with respect to Firefox 4 (which is why I had to post my initial query).

  • HT4191 Why did my contacts disappear after syncing with 10.7 for the frist time and how do I get them back?

    It also apparently changed all the contacts on my computer. Now I have a only a portion of my contacts both on my PC and my iPod 4g with nothing to restore from. Thanks Apple! Hope you update your crap OS sometime soon. Maybe then my Messenger app will start working again. Maybe then I can use the app store again. Maybe then I can use a working map again. Maybe then I will start using my apple devices again.

    yes, i did too.. will probably just try to restore them from the iphone sync.

  • My child must have deleted safari and the app store from my iPad 1. How do I restore them?

    Safari and app store icons missing, child may have deleted them? How do I recover them?

    You can't delete the preinstalled apps. Go to your Home screen and then swipe to the right to reveal the search screen Type in the app name and do a search.
    Also, these apps may have been "Turned Off" by Restrictions. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions.

  • Bookmarks have disappeared after reset

    I reset firefox because i was having trouble printing, and even though a pop-up said my info like bookmarks, history and tabs had been saved i cannot find them anywhere. there is a file on my desktop now that says old firefox data, but it appears to be empty! i am very upset because i had my favorite pages and tons of pages to go back and look at saved and now they all seem to be lost and i have no one to contact for assistance, can anyone on here help?

    Yes, space is a potential problem because profile folders accumulate a lot of large files. Windows may pop up a message offering to clean up a bit; it's generally safe to clear your temp folder.
    Meanwhile, for Firefox, could you try the following:
    Exit Firefox completely.
    Then start up in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].
    We're going to just start the other profile, not create or delete anything.
    I am hopeful that it is your regular profile, still intact.

  • All my contacts names have disappeared after upgrading to the lastest IOS. How do I restore this? I can't find people names etc. I run a business and this is not what I expect every time a new ios or something from apple turns up.

    I've had issues before with upgrades and now I was skeptical of doing the latest upgrade.
    10.7.1..... **** I've got the  latest ios and it's messed my contacts up. Sticking all emails and removing some business contacts numbers so it's been a night mare to run for the last week or so. I don't even see which is important calls or not I just get "no number."
    Anyone know a work around or must I wait for the next "upgrade/fix"?
    Andrew 

    1.  Purchase your new hard drive and an external enclosure.
    2.  Put your new hard drive in the external enclosure.
    3.  Connect the external hard drive to your mac (FW or USB).
    4.  Use Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/) to clone your internal drive to the external drive.
    5.  Take the new hard drive out of the external enclosure.
    5.  Open your computer, pull the hard drive out of your Mac.
    6.  Put the new hard drive into your mac.  Close it up.  Turn it on.  It should boot right up.
    7.  Put your smaller drive in the external enclosure and use it for backup, extra storage or whatever.

  • I purchased QT Pro years ago, but it seems to have disappeared after upgrading to Lion.

    I still have my key codes, but I cannot find a way to re-download QT Pro without repurchasing it.  The primary reason I feel the need to reinstall QT Pro is because for some odd reason the only video files that will play with Quicktime are .wmv files (which really strikes me as odd, seeing QT will only play .wmv files and not .mpg or .mov files) -- this seemed to also happen once I moved to Lion.  Like many questions that've been posted, when I try to play a .mov or .mpg file, I get the infamous Codec error code.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    If you had it in Leopard it was moved to the Utilities folder when Snow Leopard was installed. It installs in the Utilities folder in Lion, too.

  • My Finder menu, HD, and dock all disappeared after I mistakenly downloaded a bogus version of Firefox. How do I get them back?

    I think I may have gotten some sort of virus after downloading a "bogus"  Free version of Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox immediately, because I noticed my Macbook was acting strangely, but the next time I turned it on, my HD, Finder menu, and dock were all gone! Basically there is now an empty, blue screen. I have booted in safe mode and deleted preferences, but nothing is working.

    This probably is the mistake you made.  Many sites that offer application downloads also include adware as an unrequested 'bonus'.  Try AdwareMedic and it should take care of the unwanted ad popups:

    If no success, the use the Apple support procedure, which is a lot more complicated:

    The lesson is, always download from the developers web site or from the APP store.  That way no unwanted items will not be included.

  • How can get my Iphotos as screen saver ...all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested in deleting the files from the Finder ..now just left with the "squirly default " screensaver option

    How can I get  my Iphotos to show as my screen saver please ?  all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested and deleted all relevant files , but now am only left with the "Squirly " screen saver option in the drop down menu and no option for Iphoto library.

    Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
    Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
    Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
    I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.
