Tabs will not restore from last session in FF v30.0 Mac OSX
Was able to locate and copy onto external drive sessionstore.bak and sessionstore.js. Have not closed and re-opened FF yet. Please provide clear and easy to understand step-by-step instructions on restoring my last session in mac OSX (Mavericks).
Also, is there a way to see my tabs before they are restored to make sure they are there?
As I stated above, I already went to the profile folder and copied sessionstore.bak and sessionstore.js to an external drive (see first screen shot attached below).
I then set it to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" as you had instructed and then closed and re-opened FF and the only session that came up was the last one, not the previous one that has my lost tabs! Does the sessionstore.bak store tabs to previous sessions or does sessionstore.js??? The sessionstore.bak has a time stamp on it before I lost the tabs. I am also attaching a screen shot of the files in my profile folder now. Pls advise.

There is No option to restore previous session when I go into History. There is No Recent history in the History. It will show my history if I click on show History, but it won't restore it!Hi StuckAtHomeMom
try in PRIVACY panel to set : Firefox will: Use custom settings for history and :
Uncheck: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
Uncheck: [ ] "Clear history when Firefox closes"
check everything else and in Accept third-party cookies, set Keep until: they expire

I upgraded to ios6.1.3 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved. Can I some how restore the apps to avoid having to pay for them again and having to recreate settings?
As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.
A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
Hope this helps. -
All windows/tabs aren't opening from last session, even with setting checked. What's wrong?
For a while now in Safari, if I have to close out the browser or restart my Mac for some reason, my previous tabs in Safari are not loading when I re-open Safari. I went online this week and did a change in Settings to where it would open up the option again in Safari to allow me to check "Reopen windows from last session", however, even with this selected, it did not re-open my tabs just now. This is such an unnecessary frustration and hassle. Can anyone please help?
Oh, and the "Reopen last closed session" and "Reopen all windows from last session" is grayed out and unelectable if I try to bring them back that way in History.Thank you Linc! I did do what you suggested, and it did work.
I noticed though (because I tried to close/re-open Safari several times to make sure it would consistently load my previous pages, that when I close the window but not the program) that I can "restore my previous session" or "last closed session" under the History menu if I merely close the window, but not the app/program although it doesn't automatically reload them; but, if I close the whole Safari app/program, when I re-open Safari it does reload all of my pages. I guess I'm writing that in case it helps someone else, but it can be confusing, and may be where my issue originally started.
Okay, another thing is, when I look in Safari preferences now (after your suggested changes), Safari doesn't give me the option of "Open new windows with previous session". Does that matter, I guess, if my previous pages/session are/is loading? It doesn't seem to make sense that that preference is missing in Safari now, but my pages reload. Just some musings. No rush to reply. I'm new to Mac, but I do like to understand how things work.
Thanks again! -
Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac
I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2. Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem. But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history. I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
Please help.Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877. They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support. Or buy the paid version. They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network. Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time! They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update! I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this? -
IPhone will not restore from back up after updating to iOS 6.1.3
I tried to update to iOS 6.1.3 last night and my iPhone crashed, putting it into recovery mode. Then when I tried to restore from my last back up I got this
I have tried to restore from three different back ups I have and keep getting the same error. Why will it not restore from back up? I've had the phone two years, so had alot of stuff on it that I need to get back.
I will be very greatful of any help.
ThanksThere is some troubleshooting for that error message on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2529

My iPod is loched up. I downloaded a new update and now it will not restore.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
Is there something else I need to tweak to get rid of this annoyance instead of simply clicking the check box? I'm losing tabs from previous sessions that I need to keep open every time I need to restart. Thanks for any advice!
Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

What to do if previous tabs are not shown from previous session (after following all the guidelines)
This is the only computer where I've had this problem, but even with previous versions of Firefox (with the Save and Quit button) it would not restore my tabs from a previous session. This still happens with v4.0.1, and I've checked that I have the option selected for remembering the previous tabs.
The only time that Firefox does remember the tabs and will restore them (on this computer) is when Firefox is shut down unexpectedly, such as with a forced power-off or other abnormal exit.
Any ideas about what could be causing this, and how to get it to work properly on this computer?Hi user781131,
What happens if I invoke the script, the backup session starts and then there is abrupt termination of the RMAN session either because of losing the db
connection or receiving an interrupt signal or a kill signal or some other weird reason?The backup set which rman was creating is not commited due to the abnormal termination but all succesfull backup sets can be used.
What if I re-invoke my script? Will it start from the point where it was stopped earlier or would it start from the point where we had last successful Level 1 backup
completed?In your backup script you do not use the < NOT BACKED UP SINCE TIME > clause so it will again do a level 1 backup off all datafiles.
See:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta009.htm#i1017236
This option is a convenient way to back up files that were not backed up during a previous failed backup. For example, you back up the database, but the instance fails halfway through. You can restart the backup with the NOT BACKED UP SINCE TIME clause and avoid backing up those files that you already backed up. If AS BACKUPSET is set, then this feature is only useful if RMAN generates multiple backup sets during the backup.
Regards,
Tycho

Brand new 5s - set up as new but will not restore from icloud backup
Hi, all. I received a new 5s today as a present. It was set up at the Sprint store by the staff. I asked what I would need to do to get all of my.apps, photos, etc. and they told me to do an cloud restore when I got home. So I got home and tried to figure out how to do this. I made sure to back up the 4s last night but my new phone says it has never been backed up which I suppose makes sense... so I have several questions:
1) Why would an old apple ID show up all of a sudden?
When I couldn't figure out restore, I erased all settings and tried to set up again from an cloud back up. But it showed me my original apple is from 2005 when email addresses weren't required (my ID then was edavies988) and I only had an iPod. It kept telling me I had an incorrect ID or password when I tried to set up as cloud backup restore. And I checked to make sure my apple ID is my current email address not my old ID. It is the email address. So any idea why this would have happened?
And since that didn't work, I went back and set it up as a new phone again. So....
2) Is there any way to access the cloud back up and restore it without having to reset the phone? I have pictures and apps, etc. that I would like to have on the new phone....I have no idea how to fix this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!!No, photos and apps aren't on my computer. Only in the cloud. I back up to the cloud only. I have a very old computer.
And no, I don't have anything loaded on the new phone. I apologize if I wasn't clear. I am unable to reset the phone and do a restore on the new phone because of the apple ID problem I mentioned. (Old, no longer used ID is what pops up when I try to restore. And since it isn't the current apple ID it doesn't accept my password. And it will not let me update to the current apple ID during set up. And, yes. I checked online. The current ID is all that shows online.)
What I clumsily was trying to ask was is there a way to do a restore on a new phone without resetting so that I can get the stuff from the old phone to the new phone? (Again, the reset didn't work when trying to reset/restore. So I had to set the phone up as a new phone.)
Does that make sense? Or is it clear as mud? -
IPhone will not restore from backup after upgrading to iOS4
Hey guys,
I updated to iOS4 just fine on my iPhone 3G 16gb model. Unfortunately, what occurred after that is what's giving me a headache. Whenever I try to restore my iPhone from the backup I created, my laptop keeps freezing when it hits about 8-10% completion. It has no major problems with freezing or locking up, and I'm pretty sure that my iTunes is the problem. My phone will now no longer play my music, nor will it even display half of my custom ringtones(even though they appear on my ringtones list under my iPhone in iTunes), nor will it display any of the songs that I purchased through iTunes on my phone recently.
Most of the other features are working fine, though I have not tested everything. I still receive text messages, phone calls, and can access the internet, so it works how I absolutely need it to, but this is becoming an extremely frustrating ordeal. Please let me know if anyone has experienced something similar or knows of a solution.
Thanks!

You may have to "Restore as New" if you cannot get it to restore from a backup. You will lose your game data but that is about the extent of the effect. -
there are 11 tabs open when i open firefox v 6.01.and they are all from a previous session a couple weeks ago..
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
