They All Vanished into thin air

My bookmarks are gone. My ibook G4 was in sleep mode. When I opened Safari, it took longer than normal to start up and when it did, all of my bookmarks were gone. I'm using safari version 1.3.2.
Any ideas as to what happened and how I can retrieve my bookmarks?

Hi Dickey,
Didn't you backup the Bookmarks.plist ??
When not than I'm afraid that they are all gone as you said, but when you use Fire Fox to as second web browser you can export the Bookmarks back to Safari.
Good luck ... post back how things went ...

  • My notes vanished into thin air on my iPhone 5.

    All my data in notes just disappeared, vanished into thin air and I didn't do anything? How can this happen. I'm using iPhone 5. Please advice, need to know why this happened so that it doesn't happen again.

  • Keynote file vanished into thin air

    I have recently encountered this extremely frustrating situation where my keynote file that contained over 100 slides just disappeared into thin air. It is not located in the folder where it's supposed to be and does not appear under recently open folder. The only place that it shows is under apple > recent items but nothing happen when the file is clicked. I have found similar discussion thread regarding this issue and apparently less people are facing this problem with the new updates (I suppose). This is actually the first time I have this issue with Keynote (6.2.2), it has been an amazing software.
    Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared
    I forced restart last night but I made sure the file was saved to the latest version and this morning I updated OSX to Maverick 10.9.5, so I'm not sure at which point the problem occurred nor which caused this to happen.
    Have anyone found a way to recover the file that seems like it never exists? I have tried iSkysoft Data Recovery but the file is not in the folder I placed, plus disk utility did not work for me as well. For the time being, I will just have to start over and make sure to backup the file somewhere else but any kind of suggestions would be appreciated.

  • My SPDIF/Optical option has vanished into thin air! W

    I have a Audigy sound Blaster platinum series card and I dump off music through an optical wire. The spdif/optical option to click on has vanished! It's the only thing I use! I've looked all over the program and can't find it. It's like it has been deleted from the file! I recently installed a new power source. Could that be the problem? I'm DESPERATE here! I need help!

    Hi Thank You for such a quick responce.
    The photos iPhoto was importing was my entire library of previously imported pics. I assume they were located in my user-Pictures-iPhoto library.
    I just did another search for one of the missing photos and it shows that it's in that directory but that it's Zero KB on disk.
    I thought I had them backed up on an external hard drive but they seem to be missing too. All the folders are there but they are all empty.
    It does not start importing again when I relaunch iPhoto.
    How does one find an invisible folder?

  • Messages Stuck In Outbox Vanished Into Thin Air

    I sent a bunch of important messages to my e-mail when browsing Safari, but for some reason they weren't going through and were stuck in my outbox.Now all of a sudden all those messages are nowhere to be found in my mailbox, and I know I didn't delete them.Would an update wipe them all out?Is there any way to recover them?I don't understand why all of a sudden they are gone.I have looked everywhere for them.

    I had an excellent Apple support agent named Luis who helped out. Re-installed the account partially. Discovered that there is in fact a bug in Yosemite. The mail client in mac will not save the outgoing server address and confusion amongst different mail account happens, added to outbox messages stuck. Hopefully Apple will correct bug in later OS X version. Case number 753401346

  • Majority of my pics just vanished into thin air

    I was working on my computer and clicked onto iPhoto and saw that it was "importing" every pic (over 5000) that I've taken. I stopped the "import" and now thousands of my pics are missing.
    They aren't in the trash. They aren't on my harddrive. I didn't do anything to make this happen. I have no idea what's going on!
    iPhoto still shows the thumbnails but when I go to view the pics they don't load.
    I've tried using spotlight to find them, nothing. I've looked in the pictures-iPhoto library in the finder, nothing.
    Please, if anyone has any idea what's happened, help!
    thank you
    Cameron
    PS - I am a very experienced mac/computer user, I'm not a newbie freaking out. I've never seen anything like this.

  • Photos in my from my iPhone have same numbering as photos from my dig camera.  They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name.  Help?

    Photos in my from my iPhone have the same numbering as photos from my digital camera.  They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name.  How do I get them all to save on my ext hard drive and hope do I prevent this numbering overlap in the future?  I'm really hoping I don't have to go through and manually rename every single picture.  Thanks.

    How are you backing up the photos?  The best way is to backup the library itself as that will preserve your organizational efforts as well as all metadata like keywords, titles, faces, places, books, etc.
    You can use a backup application that does incremental backups.  Thus only the first backup is a full one and subsequent backups just copy those files that are new or changed. I use Synk Pro.  The lower cost version, Synk, will do the same job.  Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com.  
    OR: upload your camera to a folder on the Desktop. There you can rename the files to something that is more informative than just the file name.  I use the date (international format) along with a brief desc: 2007-1-20-adian1stbday-001.jpg.  File renaming apps can also be found at MacUpdate.com.  Also you can give the folder an informatve name which will become the Event name when you import the folder of photos into iPhoto.

    Hello there i am using the latest version of pages on ipad3 but when I imported a word doument with some figures ( mainly pictures, X-rays,  CT scans, and ECG ) I could not find them they all vanishes although the text was perfectly displayed . Can anyone help.
    Thanks

    Thank you very much!
    I cant believe this little comment has been so helpful!
    But yes it is:
    I explain, despite my efforts to find, googled it, forums, faqs, etc...
    no where it mentionned the manifest.fm file is... INSIDE the .jar!
    Your comment "a zip" made me attempt to open it with winrar, and I found a manifest.fm file inside!
    So far I was editing the one at the "source" of my project and rebuilding it with netbeans.
    I am going to try that now.
    Actually.... :( no its mentionning my main class!
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.0

    Oh and I felt on your comment "dont ask us" as if I was suppose to know... i'm a beginner, I did not know that! And I tried to give you so many infos so you dont lose your time if you want to help, especially as after my own research I found many, many results for this "main class" and I tried a few solutions!

  • What would cause all my texts between a certain person and myself only disappear into thin air?

    How do I remove apps on my iPhone?  I've done it before, but can't quite get the combination correct again!!  - 4S - Thank you

    Thank you sooo much - OK another iPhone question - I probably should do this somewhere else, if so just direct me:  I'm new with a squeak!  I tried to download my pictures on my iPhone to the big computer and some went and some I could not move (or delete) and they're kind of just stuck there on my phone in Albums.  What did I do wrong?  Some pictures moved like they were supposed to and some of the others just kind of sat there and continue to stare at me every time I open "Pictures"  Thanks in advance if you're the Go-To Guy!  Marie

  • Have duplicates on i phone 4s and calendar on outlook--tried to delete duplicates on outlook and they all went into delete file- afraid to sink-cant undo outlook calendar-HELP

    After syncing with I cloud-ended up with duplicates of calendar in outlook and I phone 4s-tried to manually delete outlook duplicates and was left with only recurring b day events--the deleted items are in a folder but cant seem to undo them-aftraid to sync again-HELP

    This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
    There are NOT duplicate photos.
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
    It is working exactly as it should.

  • IOS 7.0.4 says I lost over 2 GB into thin air

    I upgraded to the new iOS, but when it synced back up I went from having 300 MB of space left to having 2 GB too much. I can't load all my music or podcasts now. I didn't change anything or add anthing to my iPhone. What's the problem?

    I am talking about the device. My iPhone says I have 8.3 GB available right now becuase it wouldn't sync my music. I have to deselect my music in order to download the new iOS out of space concerns. I did, downloaded the update, reselected sync my music, resynced, and now I am 2 GB over capacity. How? Before 7.0.4 I used to keep around 200-300 MB free. When I upgraded to the new iOS I didn't change any of the settings. But when it synced it said I am over capacity by 2 GB. How did I go from having 200 MB free to being over capaciy by 2 GB?
    Somehow I have over 3 GB of "other" on my phone that I didn't have before. How can I figure out what this is?

  • Into thin air

    Hello, I have a Aound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum sound card and so far, it has been a fantastic purchase. But... All of a sudden, in the EAX Advanced HD console, all of the EAX effects on the effects tab have dissappeared rather perculiarly. On top of this, on the THX setup console and speaker configuration tabs, the list of speaker configurations (2., 5., 6., 7., Headphones etc.) has also gone missing!! Why is this? And is there anything I can do to fix the problem? I tried reinstalling the software and it worked fine for a bit and then stopped working again. The problem seems to arise after I close the DVD Audio player which crashes everytime and restarts my computer ARGH!
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    I am having a similar problem. I have an Audigy 2. In both my Audio?HQ? and my Audio Consol my mute headphones tab dissappears after a few restarts. Only a fresh install will bring them back. If I try to update drivers I'm told everything is up to date.

  • I lost all my events on iphone prior to 2015 and this is not nice as I often need to look back on past dates they are on my Macbook air but how can I get them back to my phone

    I lost all my events on iphone prior to 2015 and this is not nice as I often need to look back on past dates they are on my Macbook air but how can I get them back to my phone

    They're not lost, they simply don't show because you settings ask it not to.
    Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar --> Calendar --> Sync --> All events

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Then
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
