Switching from dial up to DSL I've lost all my Safari bookmarks

iBook Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Hi Choral
As I mentioned, 10.4 is the base operating system, and a highly unstable one at that. Best to upgrade to the most current version of OS X - 10.4.8 - via Software Update.
Before upgrading, go to your Utilities folder and select "Disk Utility". Once opened, single click on your HD in the left panel. Then, on the right (First Aid Panel), select "repair permissions". Once complete, select Software Update>Check Now in System Preferences.
While the upgrade is running, important not to use the computer for any other purpose. After the install/restart, "repair permissions" again using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
Next, go back to Software Update and see if there is anything else to upgrade in your system. If there is, again "repair permissions" once completed.
This will bring your version of Safari up to the most current one.
Important: when you upgrade to 10.4.8, check the web site>download section (sometimes included in "Support") for the 3rd party manufacturer of your printer and any other 3rd party peripheral to make sure you have the most current version of their software in your system. This will preclude any compatibility problems at 10.4.8.

Need help switching from cable modem to DSL

Howdy all. I've had an iMac for a few months now and I'm still clueless. LOL (PC user for years). Please list all the steps I need to do to switch from dial up to DSL. All help is appreciated and needed.
Thanks.

As you dont say where in the world you are it is impossible to give specific information. However this is how it works in the UK. ISP's dont install anything for you. You sign up with the ISP, you purchase a package, this varies from the speed i.e 2mb, 8mb 16mb 20mb per sec.
You then have options such as unlimited downloads, or a monthly data cap. Then you pay for your first month usually with a debit/credit card and setup a direct debit from your bank account there after. Some contracts are for 12 months others are 3 months and some are 1 month at a time.
But the thing you need to be aware of in the UK if you already have cable then this usually means you have cable TV and a cable provided phone line. In the UK you cannot get DSL on a cable phone line you have to get a British Telecom line.
You then provide your BT phone number to the ISP. Then after they process your payment they inform you as to when your line will be activated and then they send you a preconfigured ADSL router. You just then follow the instruction plug it in and it works. Most boxes have WPA setup already and have the password printed on the bottom of the router. An engineer does not come to your house unless the is a problem and they detected a line fault that requires and engineer visit.
Of course if you are a business you can pay for a engineer visit to setup the network as well but this costs money.
edit just saw that your location in your profile is listed as 'Mo' where is 'Mo

Hi Diovizor,
Make sure that you do not use [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
Also please make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: Use custome settings for history. Uncheck "Always use permanent Private Browsing mode"
Hope that helps!

I upgraded from v3 to v6. Firefox Sync lost hundreds of my bookmarks - it kept all the organised ones, but lost all the unsorteds. I'm now facing an inquiry at work, and could cheerfully kill Mozilla. However, is there any way to fix this?

I upgraded from v3 to v6. Firefox Sync lost hundreds of my bookmarks - it kept all the organised ones, but lost all the unsorted's. I'm now facing an inquiry at work, and could cheerfully kill Mozilla. However, is there any way to fix this?

I did read what you posted, and will point out once more - the organised bookmarks were kept, the unsorted - the majority - were lost. I tried accessing them THROUGH sync as I couldn't find them before I started sync and thought that might help. Really didn't. Sync was only loaded with version 6, never used it on 3. Updated from 3 to 6; tried to find bookmarks. All unsorted ones GONE. accessed sync; no bookmarks. went back to three. never shifting again, version 6 is a quick trip to hell. Should have known not to trust the program to preserve bookmarks, blame myself for being so bloody stupid to trust it to keep my information safe. Moral: always save multiple backups.

I have lost all of my bookmarks from the drop-down menu. It says it is empty, but never have I deleted them. And when I bookmark a page it does not save it. Please help

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

Switching from cable modem to DSL

I have a WRT54G that is connected to a desktop computer. I also have a laptop. I am currently trying to switch from cable modem to At&T DSL service. AT&T uses a Motorola 2210 modem. I am having trouble setting up the router under the new DSL system. I have an intenet connection when I connect straight from the modem to the desktop. When I connect the computer to the modem through the router I do not have internet connection, even though the appropriate lights are lit (according to the instructions found on the Linksys site).
I have tried to connect to the router website, but obviously connot when I do not get an internet signal with the modem connected to the router. How do I correct this problem?

As you have changed your Internet Service Providor from Cable to DSL you should reset your router first...
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router using the link here

After switching from iphone 4 to iphone 6 i lost sync with iMessage on my mac book

Hello
I have jsut switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 6. Previously I could use iMessage sync'ed on my iPhone and my Mac-Book. Now I doesn't work anymore. I went into settings->messages->SMS transfert from the iPhone. I saw the Mac Book being referenced but when I put the switch into green it shows a pop-up asking me to pin-in the code that should be shown in Messages from the Mac-Book but nothing is posted there.
I hope I am clear. Just trying to get back to what I used to like as very convenient.
Thanks in advance for help.
Best
Pierre

Hello
In the meantime while I was working on the issue a window popped on my iPhone asking for my password for iCloud. So I wasn't connected to iCloud and after I connected it all went OK and iPhone 6 now coupled with iMessage on the Mac Book.
So I'm fixed and thanks again for your help.
Best

New Computer Profile Created, Lost all My Previous Bookmarks! How can I restore my previous bookmarks from a past computer profile to my new profile? IE bookmarks were not erased, just my Firefox bookmarks.

I was having problems with my Windows 7 computer, and HP assisted me in creating a new profile, and then deleting my previous profile (I'm the only user on my laptop). Unfortunately, I did not save my Firefox bookmarks - didn't think to do this! So, I have lost all my bookmarks. Is there any way to retrieve my old bookmarks from my previous profile, and install them into my new profile? IE did not suffer this same fate - all my bookmarks (albeit different ones and not as extensive, unfortunately as FF bookmarks were) are still intact.

Oh no :/ Unfortunately, if you deleted the old profile without saving, my hopes are slim to none on this, but we can try!
Try to search your computer for the file "Bookmarks.html". You can see if it finds it from your old bookmarks. If that doesn't, try looking for "places.sqlite". If you already have Firefox set up with your new profile, you may find the new versions, so make sure you check the dates of the files that are found.
You can read [[Recovering important data from an old profile|Recovering important data from an old profile]], which has more tips.

New router (switched from Linksys to Netgear 750 - HP J4680 printer all in one - and MAC

My husband puchase a new router - (we were told our old router failed on us) - we had no problems setting up the netgear 750 from the linksys router we originally had - we have a MACBook Pro
My HP printer J4680 - ran beautifully before the router switch - now will only work when directly connected from MAC to printer.
We have had several people troubleshoot for us -( we live in the country - no IT personnel nearby) - no one can seem to get the connection going between the two devices - I reinstalled the printer - read and reread the troubleshooting manual on both router and printer - and performed all the recommendations listed. The basic setup instructions on the HF printer say that despite the proximity of the printer and the router the signal in only fair and that it appears to have a "security" issue - I turned off the firewall settings on computer - no change in status.
we are contemplating returning the Netgear 750 for another linksys - could someone please tell me how or if we can solve this problem w/o having to return the router?
We purchased this particular router for the MAC compatability - the wireless printer is fairly new <<5yrs old and never had any problems w/it.
IT REALLY APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE I CAN GET!! THANX - maggiemae03815

Welcome to the forums maggiemae03815
I saw your post about the connection issues you are having with your new router, Mac computer and Officejet J4680. I understand you have done some troubleshooting already however, I have a suggestion or two for you to try.
On your Mac, try:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Re-add the printer (do not use the AirPrint driver)
Test print
Next contact the router company or your internet service provider to check the settings on your new router. There may be a setting that is blocking the connection to your printer:
Network name and password need to have no spaces or punctuation
If using WPA2 security, switch to WPA personal
Dual broadcast Wireless b/g/n (printer will only connect to g)
Mac filter needs to be turned off
Firewall settings need to be at there default settings, or set to a lower security
Multicasting "on"
Following ports need to be un-blocked:
Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
I hope my post was informational!

After switching from XP to Windows 7, how can i get back my bookmarks

I monted windows7 and Mozilla again but the bookmarks disappeared!
What can i do?
Thank you
Yael

Did you make a backup of the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] that is in a hidden location?
If you only made a copy of the Firefox program folder then your bookmarks are gone.

HT204382 how can i upload from my touch back to my mac lost all files and i dont want to lose music

help

I believe it is due to copyright issues, but regardless, Apple does not make uploading from the ipod to your computer possible out of the box. There are freeware applications out there, like on Version Tracker, that will do this. The easiest solution to the question you posed is to simply import the desired CDs into your itunes library, then sync.
Secondly, this question is better suited to the ipod forum.
Hope this helps,
Jeff

Upgraded my iPhone 5 from iOS 6 to 6.1. Lost all of my 250 contacts. The support person I spoke to gave me instructions that caused my backup (on my computer through iTunes) to be overwritten. Any suggestions?

A couple of nights ago I upgraded my iPhone 5 from iOS 6 to 6.1. All of my 250+ contacts were gone. I spoke to an Apple support person. The instructions she gave me, which I followed while she was on the land line with me, caused the backup file to be overwritten with the file that had 0 contacts. Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone had a problem with lost contacts when upgrading to iOS 6.1?

Thank you. I ended up performing the Restore after I did an Update, and performing the restore solved the problem----I now have a functioning iPhone with all of my data, pics, and apps on it. Fortunately I made sure that I backed up my iPhone before I tried to update to iOS6. Man, what a headache though, and it sounds like I had it easy compared to some other horror stories I've read. I won't update my iOS on my iPhone again; i've learned my lesson. It remains to be seen whether iOS6 will be worth it :-)
