I don't remember how I got rid of them. I may have found how to delete them after or before. I really don't remember. I just know I clicked on bookmarks and went to show all bookmarks clicked on unsorted , clicked on the gear symbol and clicked on delete. I notice that now when I go through the same process to see if I can delete anything else, the list is a light gray instead of black and whenever it's light gray I can't click on anything in the list. I don't know why that is. I got rid of places.sqlite and another one that said corrupted. I wrote you the reply that none of the things you suggested worked before I found the way to get rid of the list. I just kept trying to find a way to do it and I did but I couldn't tell you if the way I said I thought I did it is the way I actually did it. I'm still trying to figure out what I can do on this iMac and I've had it for 3 yrs.
I don't know what you mean by a feed entry. I just know that when I clicked on the link it took me to a BBC webpage. At any rate. I did get rid of the unsorted list of BBC bookmarks that I didn't add so I guess the problem is fixed. It made me feel spooky, tho, to have stuff bookmarked that I didn't do.
Thanks for all your help. :)

The icons for links are gone. In their place are hyphentated boxes. After I click on the link once the real icon comes back. But litterally EVERY link icon is now a hyphenated box till I click once. How can I fix this?

The icons for links are gone. In their place are hyphenated boxes. After I click on an existing link once the real icon comes back. For Example: I have several bookmark links for Amazon. Those links now have hyphenated boxes as their icons not the Amazon icon. Once I click on an existing link the Amazon icon is activated and replaces the hyphenated boxes. Literally EVERY bookmark / link icon is now a hyphenated box till I click once. How can I fix this? I'm running Firefox 8.0 on windows XP. This problem started this week. Before and After upgrading to firefox 8.0 from 7.xxxx. See screen shot example.jpg i've attached below. Double click to enlarge it for better viewing. Any input welcomed. Not a major problem but I would like to have the icons back.
Thanks

Thanks. That solved it. I had my doubts since I wasn't concerned about my lost bookmarks. I was concerned about the broken functionality. In any event, restoring from a backup solved both the functionality and the lost bookmarks. I appreciate the response!

IOS6 loaded and now none of my bookmarks are showing in Safari and when I try to add them again it won't let me. Am using iPad2

Have downloaded iOS6 and it has been ok until today. When I went to Safari this morning none of my bookmarks are showing and when I try to add them again it won't saved them. Am using iPad2. Anyone got any ideas please?

Ok I read some of the other posts and restarted the iPad which seems to have solved the issue temporarily. Is there likely to be a fix for this in the near future?

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1. The apps I had previously installed are not showing on the screen. They are located in App Store icon. How do I move the icons so they are showing on the screen.

You can move apps around in iOS 7 the same as iOS 6. Press an app icon until you see it wiggle; then drag it to where ever you want it to be. Drag it onto another app to create a folder with the two apps. Tap the Home button to stop the wiggle.

How do I get the little icons for bookmarks to reappear in my pulldown menu?

How do I get the little icons for bookmarks to reappear in my pull down menu? When I go to Bookmarks, and I go to Bookmarks Toolbar, the list of bookmarks used to have the little logos/icons associated with the company, etc. I liked these. When v9.0.1 updated, I lost these. Can they come back? Thanks for a great browser! Gene Newman, West Bloomfield, MI

Did you update your operating system? If so, did it solve the problem? I have not updated my OS because so many people complained that the newer Os's had problems.

How do I delete available downloads of TV shows off my iPad? To get rid of the icon for each TV show I have ever purchased

When I look at my TV shows on my iPad, it has an icon for every season of every show that I have ever purchased. I know a lot of them are not technically there because they are not downloaded (they have the iCloud symbol on them so I could download them if I wanted), but I don't want the icons there anymore. I essentially want to "hide" them. How do I do that?

From your iPad you can't: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

Icons for Aliases not Showing up...

I like to organize my apps into folders of aliases. I do this by dragging them into folders holding option and command. For some reason the icons are not showing up for the aliases for many applications. Here is a video.
http://screencast.com/t/yULlpzXqFrI
They show up with the Clean App icon: http://www.syniumsoftware.com/cleanapp/
It is a strange issue. Does anyone else have this problem?

Okay - that one worked.
So, the issue is not that icons, the aliased items, are missing per se, it is that the aliases are displaying an incorrect icon.
The incorrect icon appears to be a modified .zip icon. Why that is being used, I don't know unless it is a combination of how the app is written and whether it complies fully with OS X programming requirements. An alias is functionally nothing more than an icon and a pathname. The OS should grab the icon to be used from the resources in the source file. However, if that is miswritten somehow then the OS might grab any icon; for some reason it may be 'remembering' the icon used by the original download for the item.
This happens often with documents (image files, text files, etc.) when aliases are made to them - since what appears to be a custom icon is often a temp one created on the fly by Preview, it does not survive to the alias, which gets displayed with a generic icon.
One thing you can try to see if it will fix it - do a Get Info on the alias, and also on the original of that alias. Then copy the icon from the upper left of the original's Get Info window and paste it over the wrong icon in the Get Info window for the alias. This is tedious, but need be done only once for each item. If you need additional aliases for the same item, just copy (Duplicate in Finder's File menu, or Option-drag it) the alias with the good icon.

Tried to update firefox to 9.0.1, did not work, tried to go back to 8.0.1, now it will not browse and no bookmarks are showing.

I got message that a Firefox browser update was available. I tried to update a couple times and got message that another Firefox browser was running on my computer, so I tried removing version 8.0.1 and used Internet Explorer to download Firefox 9.0.1 and install it. I had saved what I thought was my bookmarkbackups folder on a separate hard drive. The new version would never load or open and kept giving me .dll files that were missing, so I uninstalled that version 9.0.1 and tried going BACK to Firefox v 8.0.1 . Now that will open but will not browse to any sites, not even Google, and all my bookmarks are not showint even though I pasted them from the hard drive copy to the bookmarkbackups folder. Can someone help me get Mozilla Firefox working again and how to import my bookmarks?
Also, when Firefox opens I get this message every time:
"Alert:
Could not initialize the application’s security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application’s profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."

I went to the link you said to and then clicked on the "Firefox Free Download, 9.0.1 for Windows, English (US)" and that took me to ''http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-9.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US'' which had another limk to click on to start the download.
The file downloaded but when I tried to run it my AntiVirus (ZoneAlarm) said that it was corrupt. So I removed that file and downloaded another from the same site and ZoneAlarm said that was infected and a contained possible malicious virus.
So now I have no Mozilla Firefox and do not know how to get it back in a version that will run.
Anyone, please help if you can.

Can i just use icon for bookmarks

I don't want the description of the bookmark just the icon is this possible as otherwise the toolbar is too long

Do you mean the '''Bookmarks Toolbar?'''
There are add-ons that can help. I use;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multirow-bookmarks-toolbarplus/ Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus]''' {web link}
Display your Bookmarks Toolbar in more than one row!
Be smart about hiding text and only showing favicons,
displaying website info as tooltips. Auto hide the Bookmarks Toolbar.

Since updating to Firefox 9.0.1, the icons for bookmarked sites have vanished-in the bookmark list-how do I get the icons back?

Icons that were displayed for each bookmarked site-in the list of bookmarks-have disappeared (only the site name, not associated icon-is shown) since I upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1.
I am running a Mac with OS X 10.7.2 (Lion). I was previously using Firefox 8 with no problems.

Problem solved. Thanks!

Icons for applications now showing up in itunes

For some reason when I add a new application to my iTunes applications for my iphone the display icon does not show up in iTunes. It just gives a generic icon. Is there any way to fix this? I have tried several things with no positive results.
Any one else have this issue or had it and resolved it?

Again, I have fixed the problem myself with NO SUPPORT from ANYONE HERE! AGAIN THANKS FOR NOTHING!!
But I will share my solution. I had moved my iTunes folder with all my artwork to another drive but that drive is no longer connected and left in the shortcut to that folder. However for some reason my iTunes was able to see artwork for my songs but not for the apps. I repointed it to another folder and the icons started returning to the apps I had downloaded.
Once again I am my own best tech support! Hands DOWN!

Icon for bookmarks toolbar has disappeared. How can I have it permanently displayed again?

My bookmarks still exist, but the permanent icon to open the window with 1 click in the upper left corner of screen has suddenly disappeared. I was recently making adjustments to my views and toolbars, and may have accidentally switched it off but I cannot see how to get it back. Firefox 3.6. Computer novice here. Please go easy on me. Thank you.

Follow the instructions in the [[how to customize the toolbar]] article to locate the icon and drag it back onto the toolbar.
