Re-buillt and bookmarks aren't "working"

Alas my machine recently died, and I have to re-build it.
I am still not really 100% happy with the way I have done things to get Firefox working again, but that isn't the problem.
The bookmarks menu.
Luckily I have a laptop and its bookmarks are pretty well the same as the desktop's. So I imported them.
That was possibly the start of my problem/s.
In the bookmark list, I have two basic/main sections:
Internet
and
Intranet
When I was (note: WAS) at a site, and wanted to bookmark it, I would "bookmark this page" and then use the drop down menus to find the directory where I wanted to put it.
Now..... I don't see the list of imported addresses.
What's going on?
I am also having problems on the laptop with the latest version (18) and google, so I am sticking with 17 for now.

I'd love to show you what I mean, but I don't think we are "on the same page".
I press Ctrl-D (bookmark this page) and get the little pop up window.
There is a Name and FOLDER field.
The FOLDER field has BOOKMARKS in it and just to the right there is a little drop down thingy.
Then to the right again is another Bigger drop down button.
The first one shows me a semi-resemblance of the bookmark list I see when looking at the bookmark list/menu.
I can't see/find my "folders" (internet and intranet) and their sub-folders anywhere.
So I am guessing something has gone wrong somewhere.
Sure, I accept I have stuffed up, but why is it this easy to mess it up?
I went to the laptop, EXPORT AS HTML. Copied the file to the desktop and IMPORT AS HTML.
It shouldn't be THAT difficult.
As I said, I would love to show you, but I am still re-building my machine.
(Just gotta love windows)
and half my other utilities aren't installed yet.

It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
You can re-partition and restore your backups. If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch...

My Bookmarks aren't working, even after following many troubleshooting recommendations, other than the one where I'd loose my, possibly already lost, bookmarks and how can I get them back?

I am on a iMac using Firefox 3.6.3, and my "Bookmarks" are not working properly after my last upgrade. When I go to "Organize Bookmarks" the boxes for name, tags, visit date, etc. are blank and the arrows are gray. Just in case my Bookmarks are hidden, I tried to restore them by going to the Library window. However Firefox did not ask me "to save the bookmark backup to a folder" on my hard drive as stated in your article "Restoring bookmark backups" 2.2.) Number 4 of the same article tells me how "to restore one of the listed backups" and when I tried this I was told Firefox is "unable to process the backup file." I also tried to go to "Choose File" from the Restore Menu (instead of automatic backup) and clicked on Applications and then Firefox just to see what would happen and was told applications is an "unsupported file type". Also, FYI Torbutton is not installed on my iMac. I don't want to "Create a new places database" without knowing that my Bookmarks are in fact backed up, especially since I received the above message. I was wondering if should uninstall the 3.6.3 and just go back to the 3.6.2. It seems that Firefox updates have a history of wreaking havoc on the older programs. Do you recommend waiting to update until I have gotten feed back as to problems it creates?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How do I get my history and bookmarks back to work?

Hey guys,
I downgraded my Firefox from version 7.0.1 to 3.6.22, because some of the really important add-ons didn't work on version 7 anymore and it said, that there were no updates for them right now. And after I downgraded Firefox, it keeps saying, that it can't create a history and bookmarks since something else is using the files required for creating history and bookmarks.
I troubleshooted already and tried everything I could find on the Firefox Support Page, but it didn't help.
So, I really hope you guys have any idea what else I could do to get this fixed. :)
Sincerely,
Ghosty

Do NOT take any option that says something like remove personal settings, because that is likely to remove profiles from all normally installed versions of firefox resulting in the loss of bookmarks, passwords, and other settings.
It is too late to help now, but it is always good practice to somehow back up your bookmarks e.g. manually
* see [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
Firefox does try to keep backups, but they are in your profile, and can get corrupted or deleted in some circumstances
* see also [[lost bookmarks]]
Can you post the exact wording of the message it may help in working out what is happening ?
It will certainly be worth starting in Firefox's [[safe mode]] by for example holding the shift key as you start, or using the menu option.
* do not make any changes on the first option window you see, just click on continue
* use only the default theme
* if it does not improve then whilst still in safe mode temporarily disable all plugins
See also
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox <br> note in particular the mention of the add-on to rebuild the database
* [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
It may well be a sensible precaution to preserve the current situation/data by backing up your profile by simply copying it and its folders and files to some location such as your desktop. (Quickest way to find its location firefox button -> help -> troubleshooting information -> profile [open containing folder] )

My iMessage and FaceTime aren't working in Europe on a wifi connection? What can I do

My I message and face time aren't working on my iPad since I arrived in Europe. What can I do to fix this? Both apps are turned on I'm settings

There is almost no chance it can be recovered, except at a cost far greater than a new keyboard. Once wet, spraying with a cleaner will not do any good and most likely will make the situation worse.
Best thing at this point is go to your Apple store, or the on-line store, and buy a new keyboard. Water damage is not covered by the warranty or AppleCare.

Itunes match and store aren't working

I can't seem to access anything on my iTunes account. First of all, iTunes Match quit working and nothing would work in iCloud. So I turned it off. When I tried to turn it back on, it would just get stuck on "Accessing iTunes Store..." and nothing would happen. I've tried to sign out and back in, same problem. I've read almost every troubleshoot discussion board and nothing has been working for me. I can't even delete iTunes and redownload because it says it's a requirement for Mac.
Does ANYBODY out there know what I'm talking about and KNOW how to fix the issues?? I have a MacBook Pro and a iMac. It works completely fine on my iPhone 5s. HELP!

So you tried this:
Error 1611
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Updated programs... now iPhoto and Limewire aren't working!?

Hi everyone,
I did the Software update today, and it updated a few of my programs. I wasn't really paying attention to which ones it was updating but I think iPhoto was one of them. (I'm using iPhoto 5) Well just a little while ago I tried to upload some new pictures, but when I plugged in my camera, the disk drive came up on my desktop, and iPhoto opened, but it never brought me to the import screen. The reason I'm posting this here is that I also just realized that Limewire won't open anymore either. It bounces for a little and then stops.... never opening. I tried repairing permissions, and it worked for a while, repairing a lot, but it didn't fix this problem.
I had this problem with Limewire a while ago and some other apps and it turned out that it was a problem with Java, but I don't remember any problems with iPhoto (of course I was using iPhoto 4 back then). This could be affecting other apps that I'm just not aware of yet. I use iPhoto pretty much every day and I use Limewire a lot as well.
This is a big problem.
Any suggestions would be great.
THANKS!
-Dean

Hi everyone! GOOD NEWS. iPhoto and Limewire are somewhat working again. Here's what I did and what the result was:
iPhoto - I read on a post in a different thread that iPhoto 5 has problems with videos since the update. I deleted all the videos off of my digital camera and it would update fine. I guess I am just waiting for a new update to come out to fix that, but I may start using Image Capture, as it was recommended in that other thread.
Limewire - I didn't know what else to do... so I decided to go to Limewire.com and download it again. I didn't uninstall the Limewire I had and it turned out there was a newer version of the program, so I got the update and now it works fine.
But... I still have one major problem. Final Cut Express HD doesn't open now either! I didn't realize this sooner because I just finished a huge project in FCE so I was taking a break from it haha, but that program is the whole reason I have a Mac and I need to get it working again! It starts to open, the Final Cut Express HD logo thing comes up, but then I get the "spinning beachball for a while" and the "unexpectedly quit" error. What do I do!? I'm thinking maybe I will repost this in the FCE area later.

ITunes and iPod aren't working correctly

So, I go and buy my new laptop today, with hopes of loading all my music that I backed up onto 4 DVDs. I go to load my music from the DVDs and they don't work. Whatever. So I go and follow Apple's instructions on how to backup my library on my iPod, then transfer it over to my computer. I followed their instructions, but to no avail. Nothing worked. I can run iTunes by itself flawlessly, but when I plug in my iPod, it automatically freezes my iTunes. I can't do anything with it now. I need some advice, because Google keeps leading me to dead ends. My iPod works fine, but not with the laptop/iTunes. I'm using the latest version of iTunes for 64 bit Vista.

hmmm. sounds like it's worth checking up on this possibility:

Touchpad and keyboard aren't working properly][Only one battery charges

When charging cable is plugged in, I have no problems, but when I detach it, keyboard and touchpad stops working.If I put my flashdrive into keyboard dock it will do sounds like it's connecting and disconnecting looped. And the second weirdness: it shows that I don't have the second battery.. I checked it in bios and there were displayed two batteries(32wh and 33wh)..I wonder if it's really only one battery charging all the time.. I just bought it yesterday and it is killing me..

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Split 13-m010dx x2 and issues with the charging while detached. When the Tablet part is detached you will not see the other battery and it will not charge as it is detached. The setting you have it on will drain the battery very quickly, Change the setting from High performance to Hp recommended will help. Here is a link to update the battery. Here is a link to troubleshoot the battery. Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue. The keyboard and TouchPad will not work when the Tablet is detached. This is by default. If this does not help, please use the following link to create yourself a case number, then call and it may help speed up the call process:

Case number and phone number appear.
They will be happy to assist you immediately. Thanks.

My Keyboard and trackpad aren't working.

I recently restarted my MacBook and when it restarted and booted up the keyboard and trackpad won't work. I have restarted my computer since then and nothing. I took out the battery and unplugged it and rebooted it and still it won't work. The only button that works is the power button. I tried to put in my install discs and I can't choose to restore because the trackpad won't work...

I am currently having this same issue. What can I do to fix this??? Brand new macbook unibody.

Images in mail and safari aren't working.

Some images aren't displaying in mail and safari. Jpg's don't seem to be working, but most gifs are (with a few exceptions).
As far as I'm aware no one who uses the computer has changed anything which, as far as I can think, would have any effect on this. I have all the available updates.
Thanks for you're help

Help.!!!

Quit Safari. Disable bookmark synchronization, if applicable.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar. Copy the following line into the text box that opens, then press return:
~/LibrarySafari/Bookmarks.plist
Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the Finder window open. Relaunch Safari. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Test. If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post again.

My email and bbm aren't working

I've had my blackberry curve 8520 since Christmas. A month ago bbm stopped working all that came up was a red x. I tried everything but nothing would change. I had credit and wi fi. Eventually I was forced to wipe it. I got a new bb id but the same pin . Now the email setup isn't working aswell, it only comes up as " I want to use a work emailaccount with a blackberry enterprise server". Why isn't bbm or email working I've set up everything perfectly. Why can't my phone just work. If anyone has any ideas to help fix it please share it.

Same here! But my bbm works,but I can't receive emails!!!!guys help please!!!,

BBM and MSN aren't working

Hello everyone, I've got a BB Curve 8520, and here is the problem: Im using wireless and my bbm and msn arent working even though I can browse the internet and i can log in through nimbuzz. I dont think its the wireless' problem because it was working just a while ago, it stopped working when i changed sim cards but then i put my originial one back again. I was hoping someone could help me with this as it is quite urgent.
Thank you very much

Hi,
Ahh, that is a lot clearer.
Unfortunately the only people that can now sort this are Apple Support.
The Messages used to appear in Mountain Lion and the Messages version there.
Back then it did seem that most of the telephone support people knew about the issue and how to sort it.
I would suggest phoning back and asking to be put though to a Level 2 person.
In iTunes when you go to the Store page there is a Menu at the bottom.
It includes Help > Support.
I have suggested to people using this route as you can eventually get an email link.
It takes you to a Long menu page in the first instance and the Bottom item is "Contact Support".
The UK version take me here http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/contact/
On the right hand pane is Contact iTunes Store support.
If after this you follow the options that list "Manage Account" you will eventually get a link to email Support.
Basically Apple have flagged you account for some reason.
It seems it will only effect Messages and the iMessages account and FaceTime with sometimes Game Center as well
