My location bar has stopped recognising my history or bookmarks and does not autocomplete any websites

I have disabled all add-ons, and upgraded to the most recent version of FF. If I go to my History library, my full browsing history is there and I have a lot of bookmarks. The problem is the location / address bar does not auto-complete, and nothing happens when I click on the drop down arrow at the RHS of the address bar... any help would be brilliant as extensive googling hasn't provided a solution!

Did you also check:
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox > Preferences] > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

My location bar has stopped auto completing and I have not changed anything on my machine. It works for perhaps the first two tries of the day and then stops auto-completing

Recently my location bar stopped autocompleting. I cleared my cache but it did not help. it seems to work the first few times when i start Firefox , but then stops. If I quit and restart Firefox, the same thing happens. I have tired checking it after my computer has been shutdown for the night (which I do about once a week), and also after it goes to sleep (which I do frequently).

Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

Why don't I have a location bar? It disappeared a few updates ago and is not in the help menu.

I have checked Navigation Toolbar under view, but in Mozilla help, nothing comes up under location bar or address bar other than blurbs about how great it is. But I don't have one and would like to get it back. Anyone else have this problem? I'm on a Mac 10.8.3 with latest updates to Firefox installed.

Normally, the location bar is the largest thing on the Navigation Toolbar. If you don't find it sitting unused in the Customize dialog (where you can drag it back onto the toolbar), you can reset your toolbars back to their default controls using the "Restore Default Set" button.
This article has the details: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]].

History is blank! does not show any browsing history even changing the settings v 3.6.20 Mac OS

Regardless of the settings you choose, Firefox is not showing any browsing history. It's happening in version 3.6.20 for Mac as well as V 5 for windows. I see a lot of the same questions on the internet but no answers

I'm on Linux. There is no QuickTime for the Linux platform, but I see the player loading (caching) that movie. The Gecko Media Player doesn't seem to be able to play that file embedded, but does play it if I open the .mov file directly in the player.

IPhoto has a color wheel immediately upon opening and does not respond. How can I fix?

I recently uploaded photos to iPhoto and after getting a non-stop color wheel for a ~400 pic upload broke it into 2. After the first of the 2 I clicked on the event to open the pics and was greeted with a color wheel and "not responding".
Ever since, whenever I open iPhoto I just get a color wheel immediately when I move the mouse.
How can I fix this without loosing my pics.
Thank you.

Back up all data.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
In the Finder, temporarily move the iPhoto library (usually located in the Pictures folder) to the Desktop. Relaunch the application. It should prompt you to select a library. Click the Create New... button. If a new, empty library is created successfully, try adding an image, such as one downloaded from the web.
After the above test, quit iPhoto again and put the original library back where it was, overwriting the test library. Post your results.

HT201250 My time machine only sometimes recognises my external hard drive, and when it does, it freezes and does not transfer any data. What is going on?

I changed hard-drive. Time machine started hopefully and mid-way through the whole thing froze. Since then, back to the same problem

I bought a new one yesterday to check - it went to 15GB, then suddenly all collapsed again. Would that be sheer coincidence that two hard-drives blow up when trying to use time machine?

The Bookmarks toolbar is empty, doesn't allow me to add any bookmarks. I have tried all the options indicated in the support website, but none work. The toolbar remains empty and does not even allow me to drag something down to it from the location bar.

Please see the question above, as that is the problem I am having. I don't understand why the Bookmarks tab does not show any of the bookmarks which I have tagged. They can only be chosen from the drop down menu. I tried dragging the page to the bookmark toolbar from the location bar but that does not work. Is it a glitch in the system?

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

My powerbook G4 has stopped recognising the battery, why might this be and what can I do?

Hi There, after knock my powerbook g4 has stopped recognising the battery, why might this be and what might I do?

What does "after knock my powerbook..." mean? Did it fall on the floor or ?
First, reset the PMU. That can often fix power-related glitches. If that doesn't do it, you can try a PRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If one of those two steps doesn't change anything, do you have another working battery you can substitute?

My imac has stopped recognising my external HD

my imac has stopped recognising my external HD connected by USB. My macbook can read it. Is there some way of reset on the USB?

I would recommend doing the following two steps, as explained by our Expert User "rkaufmann87":
iMac SMC and PRAM reset:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Hope this helps

The location bar has disappeared from the top of any tab that I open. How can I get it back?

The location bar has disappeared from the top of any tab I open, so there is nowhere to type in a web address. Could I have accidentally made this happen? How do I get it back?

Just to be clear, it's not below the tab bar either? (That's the new style in Firefox 4 and 5.)
To hide or show toolbars, you can use the old View menu.
If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to temporarily display the classic menu bar.
View menu > Toolbars > ''check'' Navigation Toolbar
If you are viewing the navigation toolbar but it's incomplete or corrupted, you can reset your toolbars.
View menu > Toolbars > Customize
In the large dialog with the icons, toward the bottom, click Restore Default Set.
Does any of that help?
