My system was re-set during repairs and I have lost my Firefox bookmarks. Are these stored anywhere on the system? I did a full backup of documents and programme files before repair, but can't find any bookmark file.

I did not do backups of the bookmarks regularly, since I thought these would be saved somewhere. However, I can't find any bookmark files on my backed-up system.

Thanks - now I can see an applications folder, and have found a .default file, hope this is the one. Should I now follow these instructiosn to restore my profile, or just go to organise bookmarks and import the default file?
Copying files between profile folders
Note: Firefox must be closed down while copying files between profile folders.
1. Open your profile folder:
* (Firefox 3.0 and 3.5): See How to find your profile
1. (Firefox 3.6): At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, click on the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information.... The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
2. Under Application Basics, click on Open Containing FolderShow in Finder.
2. From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select FileFirefox and then select the ExitQuit FirefoxQuit menu item.
3. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click on a file you want to copy and choose Copy.
4. Open the new Firefox profile folder.
5. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click inside the profile folder and choose Paste Item.
Repeat steps 2-5 for each file you wish to transfer over to your new profile folder.
While copying your personal data from an old Firefox profile to a new Firefox profile, it is possible that you could copy over the file that is causing the problem you are trying to get rid of! The more files you copy over, the greater the chance of this happening. It is therefore recommended that:

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • When i go to about this mac and look at my storage it says that i have 33GB of music. i recently deleted 2 user accounts but can't find any of these files. Where do i go to delete these files?

    when i go to about this mac and look at my storage it says that i have 33GB of music. i recently deleted 2 user accounts but can't find any of these files. Where do i go to delete these files?

    What are you asking? Where music is stored or where the user accounts were stored?
    Music should be in the music folder - perhaps inside of an iTunes folder.
    User accounts should be on the home directory.

    I updated my 4S phone to IOS 7.1.2 and lost my wi-fi.   The wi-fi is on, but can't find ANY networks.   I have been through all the steps, from turning the phone on and off, resetting the network settings, resetting the whole phone, redownloading 7.1.2 and lastly going to the Apple store for help.   They tried all the exact same steps I did, took the phone apart and looked at and said it is in "pristine" condition.   They have no idea why it isn't working, but they could offer to sell me another phone.    This is extremely annoying!    They claim it has nothing to do with the update to 7.1.2, but that is when I lost the wi-fi, so it has to be related!

    My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again...

    What you should see on a restart is a black screen followed by a screen with the Apple (at which point you let go of the two buttons). There is no progress bar, just the Apple. The Apple will stay there for 15 seconds or so, then the "Slide to Unlock" screen will redisplay.
    But, I don't think the reset will fix it for you. I just tested it, and it comes back on with the zoom still on. The only way to get it to zoom out is the tapping with the 3 fingers.
    I said to double-tap....MY BAD! You need to triple-tap with three fingers!
    Try that and see if it will display the zoom menu for you, or if it will zoom back out.

  • When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

    When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
    But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
    How do I figure out what is not syncing?

    Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you.  I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again.  To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 6, but can't find any file or link listing what changes were included in the upgrade.

    I was prompted by Firefox to upgrade to version 6.0, which I did. But I can't seem to find any file or link which details what changes or enhancements were added to version 6 vs version 5.

  • I am  a .Mac subscriber, but can't find any info on .web version ILife 06//

    after logging in to .Mac looking in Learning and support for Iweb 06 there seems to be nothing taught except new version, 08; I tried to find version 6 in vain' I expect .mac to support all versions l I paid my dues. Sees you are all expect everyone to upgrade immediately to 08 > I cannot afford to upgrade besides I read bad reviews of IMovie. So want to wait till I understand this morel ]
    Can someone show me how I can find my Version 05 websites I have uploaded and how to use IWEB . Just because an upgrade occurs, I don't think ;mac should stop learning information being put out there for those of us who are stil having trouble using the software. All the upgrades are costing me money in books and then no .Mac support. I know I uploaded some albums from IPHOTO to .web but I just reinstalled Tiger and have to rebuild my Iphoto library. Meanwhile where is any information about version ILIFE6 for .Mac subscribers. If you add up how much money it costs to keep upgrading your Ilife is more expensive than PHOTOSHOP. ANd I still can't use .Webl,imovie, idvd etc.

    To answer just one of your concerns...
    If you were to upgrade to iLife'08, the installation process will save your current iMovie HD from iLife'06 in a new folder called: "iMovie (previous version)" -- so you would still be able to use that version as well as the new one.
    There are probably as many good reviews of iMovie'08 as there are bad. In the end, application software is only as good or bad as it suits the particular person using it. Some people can even tolerate a high number of bugs -- if the software eventually allows them to achieve their purpose.
    Meanwhile, while you await more responses from forum readers, you can submit your other questions to Apple via the form half-way down this page:

  • Can't get rid of unread mail icon--shows 2 unread messages but can't find any

    I've got a smart mailbox that shows unread messages so I can easily see what new and unread mail I have.  The problem is it gives me the notification icon that indicates I have two unread messages, yet the mailbox does not show any messages as unread...  This isn't a huge problem, but the Mail icon in my dock always shows that I have new mail, and the notification icon is small enough that I can't always clearly see if it's the "usual 2" or a higher number.  What could be causing this and how do I either find the unread messages or get this icon reduced to where it only shows me REAL unread messages?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • I recieved a scam email from apple. then sent me the same email using my own email account. how do I report this to apple. can't find any contact details.

    hi over the past month have received maybe 5 scam emails from apple.
    I opened one the other day cause I thought well maybe it is from apple.
    went through the steps and it was  amazed at how well they did at copying apple website. you could even go to the apple shop page from their page!
    what set me off that it was fake was that I tried to open the other apple pages along the top and it wouldn't let me. so I opened my own apple page and logged in. and realised that they don't ask for your bank details in your Apple ID account.
    anyways so now what has happened is I got an email today " from myself" with this same scam email. it is as if they have hacked my email account and sending me these emails. I want to report this to apple but am unable to find any contact details apart from call back options. does any one have any advice on this.

    I've had that same exact issue, I received the first e-mail claiming to be from Apple last night (though over the past week I've received two other scam e-mails from different addresses claiming that my bank transactions have been aborted). It said it was from my own address, and I checked it closely to make sure it wasn't a spoof account but found it was indeed my own e-mail address. Five minutes ago I changed my password, and I have just now received a second e-mail exactly the same, still coming from my own account. My best guess at an explanation is that it may have been sent before I changed my password and there was just a delay in the message sending, resulting in it coming through after changing my password.
    I've now forwarded the e-mail on as an attachment to the [email protected] address, however this still doesn't help me with regards to stopping these e-mails. It concerns me that even though I changed my password they still possibly have access to my account. I tried checking my account activity but as opening the mail app on my iPhone is considered as a log in and I check it almost twice an hour, it's impossible to tell which could possible be an intruder logging in.
