Saved passwords keep disappearing when I reboot my MBP

There must be something wrong in my settings........ don't know what it is though...... The saved passwords disappear when I reboot my MacbookPro. I use Firefox 8.0.1

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?<br />
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

(I do NOT use norton at all) Some of my saved bookmarks keep disappearing when I close and re-open my browser..this is getting very frustrating! (firefox 4.0)

I have read about this happening, but the only solution is for people who use Norton, and I do not-it is not even on my laptop at all..
I have firefox 4.0. Every time I close firefox, some of my SAVED bookmarks are missing when I re-open later. I tried re-saving them, but then when I close and re-open firefox later on again, some more bookmarks are gone..this only happens when I exit for a while..if I close and re-open firefox right away the bookmarks are all still there.
This is very frustrating! I never had this problem with firefox 3.whatever..PLEASE HELP??
ps. i am not very technical, so if there is a bunch of hard things I have to do myself to fix this, then I think I will switch to Internet Explorer..

Yes - see [[options window - privacy panel]]. There is an option to clear some of the history when Firefox closes, you can customise that.

My saved passwords have disappeared.

My saved passwords have disappeared. I saved a new password, closed Firefox & when I reopened Firefox the new password had also disappeared. What gives?

Did you check the setting of [[Clear Recent History]] ?

I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
To make this your syncing computer:

My desktop photo disappears when I reboot iMac, replaced with Mac default image. please help?

My desktop photo disappears when I reboot iMac...replaced with default apple image. does anyone know a fix?

First, try to delete the Desktop settings file. First, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart your computer. Finally, change the wallpaper and see if it stays after restarting your computer
If that does not work try
open the Applications Support folder and then look for the Dock folder and open that. There are two files, one of which is "desktoppicture.db". Move this file to the trash and securely delete it. Restart the computer. A new "desltoppicture.db" will be created on startup.
Finally, reset your desktop picture again using System Preferences.

My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position. In vertical, it works fine. I have powered off and on, checked that Safari Instant is on, and cleared Safari cache. Any help will be appreciated.

My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position. Vertically, it works fine. I have powered off and then back on. I have checked that Safari instant is on, and I have cleared Safari cache. Nothing has worked so far.

Okay -- it fixed itself. Without any intervention, after all else had failed, and I was willing to live evermore with vertical searches. If only everything else in my house mysteriously recovered from the broken state.
Have no idea what was/is going on with the disappearing keypad.

ITunes Library.itl keeps disappearing when iTunes starts

I just updated to iTunes 10.8.0.40. Now my iTunes Library.itl file keeps disappearing.
When iTunes starts, I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder inthe "Music" folder."
I copy a backup from the "Previous iTunes Library" folder and then iTunes will start. However, the file disappears again as iTunes is starting. Right after it disappears, iTunes displays a message that says, "Checking iTunes Library..." followed by "Updating iTunes Library..." Then I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. A folder was specified instead of a file."
The process repeats endlessly. How do I stop iTunes from deleting the iTunes Library.itl file as it starts?

I fixed this by removing iTunes and installing MediaMonkey. Most of the music I have in iTunes has been ripped from my CDs and MediaMonkey found all of those MP3's within a couple minutes. The last time I had to rebuild my iTunes database, it took two days because I couldn't figure out how to stop it from analyzing the volume. The few albums that I bought through iTunes, I will burn to a CD and re-rip. Despite the name, MediaMonkey seems to be a much better program for managing music and runs significantly faster on my little HP mini.
This is the fourth and last time I'm dealing with the problem of iTunes deleting my database. Good riddance iTunes.

Info disappeared when I rebooted my computer!

I have just rebooted my computer and reinstalled all the programs I need, including iTunes. Of course I saved all of my music and my iTunes library file before I rebooted. Almost all the info I added about the music in my library is still there, but with an emphasis on "almost". I have the Swedish version of iTunes installed, so I don't know if I get the names of things correct so I can explain my problem, but I will try.
When I right click a song in my library and choose "Show info" and then choose the "Alternative" tab there are some boxes you can check. There is one box that you can check if you don't want a song to be played when you play your library in mixed mode, so I have gone through all my songs and checked the songs that I want to be skipped when I play my library in mixed order. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Anyway, when I rebooted my computer this info disappeared. So I guess this info has to be stored somewhere else than in the iTunes library file. So does anyone know where it is stored so this doesn't happen to me again?
I would really, really appreciate the help with this! Thanks!

Maybe it is "Skip when shuffling" on the Options tab?
I never use that feature, but I believe that is the English translation. It's an iTunes feature, so if it's not stored in the ITL file, I don't knw where it would be.
I changed it on one song and looked at the XML entry for that song. Nothing changed...it must be in that ITL file that nobody but Apple knows what goes in it!

How do I recover an indesign CC file which is saved, but keeps crashing when opened?

I have been working on a file for a while, regularly saving etc. Now it keeps crashing when I open it.
How can I get the file to open properly?

first see Remove minor corruption by exporting and if that crashes, too see if the blind export script at Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK. will work.

HELP! Changes I'm making keep disappearing when I reopen my project...

I'm making a 25 minute video slideshow with the Ken Burns effect in iMovie. Many photos have titles in them (captions, basically). But I found several misspellings, so I corrected them. Then I opened the project again and all the corrections were gone. Everything was back the way it was!
So I corrected everything again, and the next time I opened it those corrections were gone again and things again back they way they were in the titles. (However, other changes I made, like adding photos, seem to be staying around like they should be.)
What could be causing this??? I have to fix this tonight.
(I should note that when I scrub through the video, or "Share" the project to iDVD immediately after the changes are made, the changes to the titles are there as they should be. They seem to only disappear when I close and reopen iMovie.)
I'm fairly new to this, and hate that you can't click "Save" and save your work like in a word processing document.
Thanks for any help!

This is rubbish. Yes I too have closed an iMovie project and found my changes not saved.
There is no logic here. If you have a Done button, then NOT selecting Done should void your changes, surely? And if your changes remain intact, you assume the program is saving automatically.
Not having a Save button is stupid. Please do away with the Done button and reinstate the Save button - whadya say? Then we know where we are.

My calendar events keep disappearing when I add them to my iphone 5 calendar.

My calendar events keep disappearing from my iphone5 a few days after I put them in. I tried all the fixes listed in other questions, but it's not a matter of syncing or not, the appointments disappear and they're not anywhere else either. I need the appointments to stay on my phone, I don't add appointments any other way or on any other device, and when they're gone, I have no idea what I'm missing. It's screwing up my work schedule because I don't know what has disappeared.

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

How do I restore saved passwords that disappeared after update of Firefox?

This is on an Acer laptop running Win 7 home premium

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.
If this "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you will have to sign in once again.
You can remove this "remember me" cookie to make the website forget you and require you to sign in again.
Did you possibly reset/refresh Firefox?
When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
It is possible to recover data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Time Machine drive disappears when i reboot

When i reboot my iMac, my USB-connected external Time Machine hard drive does not remount, and it is not visible in the Disk Utility program. The only way i can get it to remount is to power-cycle the external drive. Unplugging and re-plugging the USB connection does not work. This could be a hardware issue (particularly with the USB cable), but i just wanted to check to see if anyone else is experiencing this problem.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Hello r_dizzle,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your external hard drive. I found an article with steps you can take when an external device is not behaving as expected
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
