System crashed reinstalled and lost alll my bookmarks. Are they somewhere

Can I get back my booksmarks that existed before system restored to factory setting? I did not know I had to save. Thought they where in space somewhere with emails.

First let me say this is my first post ever so please be nice. I am not a tech guy in any way, but when you get desperate you read a lot and try different things. This is what I did and I was able to transfer my old bookmarks to my new hard drive (providing that you have access to your old files. I used this on Windows XP, but I am sure that windows 7 can be done almost the same.
Go to bookmarks tab on the top
click on organize bookmark
click import and back up (tab on top)
click restore
click choose file (this should be your external drive, jump drive etc..)
click on document settings
click on user name (yourself, FF creates an individual bookmark file for each user)
click on application data
click on the Mozilla folder
click on Firefox folder
click on profiles folder
click on the file (should be the only one)
click on bookmarkbackups folder
select the date that is the earliest date closest to today
Click on continue
the bookmark should be updated

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

When I bring up my Mozillafirefox, all I get is a window with a blank white screen, (and the firefox logo). (After using Firefox very happily for over a year, I had to 'reinstall' Firefox 3.66 about a month and a half ago, (and lost all my bookmarks as a result therein), and hope I can get my firefox back this time without having to reinstall. Mozilla Firefox is still listed as one of my active programs). HELP! Is there a way to get my firefox back without reinstalling? Many thanks!

same problem. wtf. just happened one day when i went to use it. nothing out of the ordinary installed either....

I upgraded to Firefox 7 and lost all my Bookmarks and the Toolbar which I use every day for all the important things I do on my Mac.. PLEASE HELP ME... Is there some way to restore my previous settings, go back to the older version or something?

PLEASE HELP!... I am seriously freaking out... I use my Toolbar all the time!... and ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS ARE GONE ALSO!

I am not an expert or even close, and I offer this only because this is how I figured out how to do it. I used a similar approach to importing all email accounts, email content and the address book into a new version of Thunder bird, but I assume this is common knowledge.
My system:
Windows 7 64 bit, recently upgraded from XP64. Installed Mozilla Aurora but seems the same as recent Firefox versions with respect to these features.
Limitation:
This solution depends on whether or not automatic backups were done of the bookmarks when you used your old installation. They were on my system and I don't remember doing it, but maybe I did. Others might know if this is periodically done by default. Assuming you have some backup (*.json) files,
Locate your the bookmark backup files from the old version of your browser. On XP it was located in
E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bookmarkbackups
Each of the bookmark backup files look like this example:
bookmarks-1010-09-22.json
They might also be located one folder deeper, in my case:
E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\x72qybcl.default\bookmarkbackups
Again, they will look like this:
bookmarks-1010-09-22.json
Copy all of these .json files to the backup folder on your new installation. On my new Windows 7 file system system I found their new home at:
C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0ptl24i3.default\bookmarkbackups
On an XP system I'm sure they would be found along a path, possibly on a differed drive, similar to where your got them from as above.
I fired up Aurora. Drop down "Bookmarks" tab, Select "Show All Bookmarks" (found near the bottom). This brings up the "Library" window. At the top of the window is a tab "Import and Backup". Click this and select "Restore". All of the prior backup files will be available indexed by the date of backup. Select one and all of your prior bookmarks will be repopulated, including the bookmarks Toolbar.
Hope this helps.

Whenever I opened Firefox Start Page, all my bookmarks were displayed on the left side. I accidently hit something, and now all my bookmarks are gone. Help.

Whenever I opened Firefox Start Page, all my bookmarks were displayed on the left side. I accidently hit something, and now all my bookmarks are gone.

Firefox has a Bookmarks Sidebar you can open and close using Ctrl+b. That's pretty easy to hit if you're trying to bold something, but if a website doesn't intercept it, then it affects your sidebar.
Was that it?

My phone was stolen. I first backe up from the icloud but then synced with my computer and lost some pictures that are backed up on the cloud. How do I get pics from my old phone which are backed up on the cloud but are not in my photostream?

If you have an iCloud backup, restore it to your phone as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. If you have a backup on your computer instead, restore it to your phone by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup.

Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

Adobe does offer a few Unicode fonts that support Hindi I'd expect that you'd be asking for Devanagari fonts, though. Have you ever done any Hindi typesetting? I mean, when we typeset English we don't do it in "English fonts" but in "Latin-script fonts."
There are two main classes of Devanagari fonts - the more common, older fonts where someone took a Latin-script font, erased the characters, and replaced them with Devanagari glyphs, versus contemporary Unicode fonts. The first class are wonky, hard to use, and quite common. If you're in-country you will find lots of ways to buy those kinds of fonts. You also can use them in InDesign without needing any scripts or plugins to turn on the World-Ready Composer. I find Unicode fonts to be much easier to use, to automatically compose according to proper rules regarding behavior of glyphs - but to use them in CS4, you'd need something like World Tools or IndicPlus. I'm a World Tools user myself but if you're going to be doing only Hindi work in CS4, I'd suggest that you look at IndicPlus first.
In short - it's deeper than it looks. If you want to tell us more about what you're trying to do, we might be able to give you better advice.

Please clarify the purpose of sync. I thought of it as a backup tool and reinstalled windows and now years of bookmarks are lost. This hurts!

I would like you to please verify the purpose of sync more clearly in the future. I had to reinstall windows and thought I could use sync to save my bookmarks. Now years of bookmarks are lost because the program was not specific in telling me about the recovery keys until it was too late. This put a huge dent in my productivity and really sets me back. I realize that nothing can be done at this point but please clarify this for others so that it doesn't happen again. This really sucks!

Problems with my Firefox so I changed browser to Google Chrome and lost all Firefox bookmarks, tags and other sites how do i retrieve those?

I kept getting performance issues with Firefox 3.6 from the add-ons to crashes. I then chose to try Google Chrome as the main browser and somehow it uninstalled the Mozilla Firefox and all the toolbars, bookmarks and all were uninstalled without importing.
On one hand it's good since the browser is cleaner and functioning better now especially after many attempts with YouTube and other video streaming sites.
Is there a way to retrieve all those lost items or are they considered gone?
Thanks for your assistance.

Please read this article about restoring bookmarks:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
As far as your passwords are concerned, I don't think there's anything you can do. But for the future, you can use the following add-ons to avoid any future loss:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/
or
http://www.xmarks.com/
Both are good.
And a simple way to import your bookmarks (since you already saved it on your desktop as html) is:
Bookmarks / Organized Bookmarks / Import and Export
Good luck.

Reinstall and lost everything

I just went and reinstalled everything on my PC after a major major crash. I lost everything. Well I uploaded iTunes and hooked in my Ipod that had every song, book, video ever paid for on it. I was asked if I wanted to transfer the data to the PC from the Ipod and I said yes. Now all that info seams to be gone. Now after I hit that tx button I was told I need to authorize it so I did. After the sync all everything was gone. How do I get it all back. All that hard earned money seams like its down the tubes. Thats not fair. Please someone help.

Contact the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and in the circumstances you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. The policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
You could also try searching your hard drive for the lost purchases to be absolutely sure they aren't there: iTunes Music Store: Finding missing music and video downloads

Apple worked on my Mac to fix password problem and lost all my bookmarks. Is there a way to get them back? I have tried talking to apple tech. They can't help

I had a problem with not being able to send emails from certain sites. I pd a tech at apple to fix it. They couldn't so went to apple store. They erased all pass words in administrator and on firefox. Somehow then they did they they erased all my book marks which were pretty important to me. I didn't have them back up that I am aware of. Now apple said they can't do anything to find them. I searched around and found a few under different things and several were just codes.
Is there anyway to restore my book marks?
Thank you

If you use the Time Machine on your computer then you can try to find an older copy of the places.sqlite file.

There are also JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder that you can use to restore bookmarks.

System Crash - all sound lost

? [size="2" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I have a Dell Dimension 8300* which came with a Creative SB Audigy 2 sound system installed (Creative sound card, 4 speakers, subwoofer). They worked OK. A recent system crash required reinstallation of the OS (Windows XP) and all applications and drivers, including Audigy's. At first, everything was fine. Then, suddenly, no audio from my (Dell) speakers. Not a peep. I've verified that they are connected properly. Sounds/audio DO play through my head phones. I've tried connecting cheapo Logitech speakers to the sound card ... no sound from them either. I've gone through each troubleshooting steps specified by XP's help system. Everything seems fine, except there's no sound. All suggestions welcome.

If your headphones are plugged into the same hole you use for your speakers the problem is not with the soundcard.
I guess the socket on the card may be faulty and just make contact with the headphone pin better but its highly unlightly.
