Update has lost all my settings including bookmarks which I urgently need

Downloaded & installed update - restart had lost home page & bookmarks - some of which I urgently need, and regenerating the list will take me a VERY long time. Also, when I try to give feedback I'm told I need to download "latest version" (so what's the point of updates) Bookmarks etc. still lost - feedback page not responding to allow posting of comment. How do I get my settings back - this is URGENT.

As long as you didn't do a complete uninstall of Firefox 3.6, they should still be around.
First, you may want to make a backup of your profile folder. It contains not only your current bookmark list, but a folder of backups. But these are not saved forever. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
The following article has suggestions for recovering bookmarks: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost%20Bookmarks#os=win&browser=fx4 Lost Bookmarks | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].

Mail has lost all my settings please help

Hi guys and girls.
So as the description says, Apples Mail program has lost all my settings, emails stationary etc.
I have been using time machine though.
Can anyone tell me is there a way to retrieve all this data?
Thanks in advance.

Updated and now it has lost all my history and bookmarks and won't open

I updated Firefox on 9/18/11. No problems until yesterday 9/22/11. I opened firefox and a window came up saying something like -oops, how embarrassing, we lost all your bookmarks and saved pages. That was bad but then it also wouldn't open anything after that and the rainbow wheel came up and the app did not respond further. I've tried: turning the computer off and on, deleting and re-installing firefox. I called AppleCare and they suggested I call you. I have a MacBook Air. Please help.

Thank you. I did just what you said and on my computer(sadly not an MacBook :( ) and I saw my things were still there. I "turned off" the iTouch and everything came back. But I did notice that every once in a while(it has happened 3 times within 15 days) my info(notes/contacts/calendar events/reminders/ and even access to my e-mail's junk folder) disappears randomly. Is there anything I should do to prevent it from doing that?

Yosemite update has lost all my data

Last night I let Yosemite do an update. Im now on version 10.10.2. I have now lost ALL my data for every program on my mac book pro. No Email info at all, no photoshop data, no lightroom data from the last 17 years of photographic work.
To say I am disappointed with Apple is an understatment as I run a small business from home and rely on my Mac as I have done over the last 20 year. Apple no longer seen to give stuff about the customer and only seem interested in money. If I wanted very poor service I would have bought a PC.
anyone at APPLE read these forums as they certainly d

all of my data disappeared. All of the applications were still there but all of the keys had gone, all the settings had gone. I phoned Apple and sat in the que for 45 mins listening to music but eventually got through and have restored to my original settings from a back up. Thats another few hours of my life I won't get back..... everything now works except photoshop ffs! If u can fix that then your a better man than me.... Error 150:30.
completely disillusioned with apple theses days but appreciate any help possible

My computer has lost all data/programmes including Quick Time Pro

After a virus infection I had to wipe my laptop clean of all files including, sadly, Outlook Express with over 7 years of emails on it! One of these contained the information for Quick Time Pro which I paid to have in about September 2007. Having no information with which to log in as a Pro customer I am unsure if I have to pay all over again to rejoin. Can I still use the old password? How do I obtain it once more? Any help from other PC users would be gratefully received.

Click here for information on getting the lost key back. If it doesn't work, purchasing the key again will be necessary.
The username and password previously associated with your Apple Store account will still work; try using the information you used to log in here.

Adobe Updater has lost all but one registered products

I have a range of Adobe products registered. I recently installed Dreamweaver CS6. This has overwritten this list on the Updater, so eg Photoshop and Illustrator do not now appear on it, and they receive no updates. Equally, the Dreamweaver install does not appear on my on-line list of registered products here at Adobe. Can soemone please tell me how to reset this?

Contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone and see if they can provide guidance or adjust your account data.

NI stuff has lost all my settings

I've been asked for some remixes of some songs I wrote a few years ago,and I'm finding that anything that used NI stuff, Massive, Reaktor, Guitar Rig etc., none of the settings have been saved with the song anymore whereas they previously were. I haven't changed anything in my system, I'm still on OS 10.6.8 and Logic 9.1.8. Anyone know why this would happen or a solution?

Sure you can call them.....
http://www.native-instruments.com/en/company/contact-ni/
...though you will have to wait until Monday now....
However....
Did you update your NI stuff to new major versions after you wrote those old pieces? If so, thats probably why as it's only recently (In the last year or so) that NI fixed the problem..
Example.. now Kontakt 5 will open projects that used Kontakt 4 or earlier... correctly with the correct settings and libraries..
Originally K5 couldn't do this and you had to manually update the instances of K4 to K5 yourself.. along with the sample libraries used... in every project but now you don't need to.

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

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 :(

I updated to Mountain Lion and Mail has lost all my RSS feeds. Where are they?

I updated to Mountain Lion and now Mail has lost all my RSS feeds. What happened and where are they?

-------- "Your RSS data is not lost. You can find it in ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS folder."
it's just as good as lost, if there is no way to load the info in that folder into a new reader.
i followed that path, ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS, and I have almost 40 rss feeds. that means
there are nearly 40 folders that I would have to go into, one by one, and extract the pertinent
information, and import, one by one, into a new reader.
this is a problem that Apple created. I would have never used the mail.app as a reader
if I knew Apple was going to do this to us. And it makes you wonder what else Apple is
going to do to screw us loyal customers over. (why would they discontinue a feature, knowing
that it would mean lost data and a headache to their customers?)
does anyone have an automated solution to importing these files into a new reader?

Since my ipad update to iOS 7.0.2 my iPad has lost all sound , can anyone help me ?

Since I updated to ios7.0.2 my iPad 4 has lost all sound. I have no sound on any function or app since I updated. My battery is also draining much faster than before the update. Can anyone help me with a fix for the sound issue?

A number of people have complained of this happening to their iPads. The only recommendation I've seen is to shut down and restart the device. Do this by holding down the power button and "Home" button together for ~ 10 seconds. A red slider will appear asking if you want to shut down. After shutting down the iPad, restart by holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo appear.

Help!!! Lost all my settings!

Help! Just lost all my settings. Didn't do nything, just went to look at my Mail. Clicked on Mail in dock, and found that all my emails had gone from all boxes. Closed Mail and re-opened. It showed a box headed "Wecome to Mail" with "You have no email accounts configured to use Mail. Please enter the following information to send and receive email." The address book was empty. Clicked on Safari and found all Bookmarks gone and my homepage was now set to Apple instead of the previous setting to Google. Clicked elsewhere and got the beachball.
Rebooted machine (had to press the button.) When it came back the dock had reverted from the previous small magnifiable setting to what seems to be the original "out of the box" dock (ie all my additions that I had previously added, had gone. Mail and Safari were in the same boat (ie no data.) Also iCal has lost all it's entries.
Help! What's happened? What can I do?

My first reaction is to suspect your log-in.
Did you log-in (perhaps by mistake) as a different user ?
This might explain your being treated as if you just logged in for the first time with all the attendant defaults.
Is this Mac used by persons other than yourself ?
If not, do you recall setting the Administration rights to your account?
If yes, can you get the Admin to look at the state of your files.
Things to look for: could a folder have been moved or deleted by mistake?
Last but not least, do you have a (current) backup?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 667 MHz, 1GB

I set up iCloud on pc, ipad etc was asked to copy contacts to iCloud and have lost all the settings and groups that they were in for over 2000. Can I get it back?

I have Outlook on my PC and thought it would be smart to have my contact in the Clouds where my ipad, work pc, home pc would be updated etc. So I was asked I though to copy my contacts from Outlook to iCloud. Instead it moved them and in doing so lost all the settings like Categories and reset how they are listed (used first name because have a lot of drs, phds, msws etc) now listed with last name and so I have a lot of people with md as last name. This is an organization list and is about 2000 contacts so having to go back and fix it will be a nightmare and unnecessary work.
Is there any way I can fix this easily instead of correcting each contact one at a time?
Thanks.

Restore your backup.
