Upgraded to FF8 on Vista, still huge memory usage. downgraded to 3.x and lost all my bookmarks! even after upgrading to FF8 still nothing, very frustrating.
Upgraded to FF8 from FF7, still had huge memory issues. Running it on 32 bit Vista . Downgraded to 3.6, lost all bookmarks! then tried to upgrade to FF8, bookmarks still not there. Downgraded again to FF 3.6 as FF8 killing my memory.
Your Bookmarks are stored in a single file, '''places.sqlite''', in your '''Profile folder'''. To open your Profile folder go to '''Help''' then '''Troubleshooting Information,''' then next to "'''Profile Directory'''" click the "'''Open Containing Folder'''" button to open the Profile Folder.

Windows Vista. Have just installed Firefox 4.0
Have followed instructions on Restoring bookmark backups
No result (I think) - because show all bookmarks comes up empty (except for what I suppose are defaults)Which files (settings) do you want to restore?
Did you find the Firefox Profile Folder in the Time Machine?
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder and see the currently used location:

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. -
I attempted to restore my bookmarks but since I cant even add a new bookmark nothing was saved. I am certain my bookmarks are LONG GONE. There is no "TORBUTTON". I would really like to go back to the earlier version of Firefox and I will certainly think twice about updating ever again. I was really pleased and sastisfied with Firefox until now.....
same problem. wtf. just happened one day when i went to use it. nothing out of the ordinary installed either....

I updated my iphone 4s to get iclouds and lost all my contacts. When I tried to sync my phone to itunes, it said I needed to update my itunes for it to work on my phone. There was no place to update so I installed itunes again. Still no contacts !!!! I've tried all the troubleshooting and still can't get them. They are not in www.icloud.com either. Help!!!!!!
iTunes 10.7 does indeed work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Do you mean you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard? If so, and you updated your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on some other computer, then you may be out of luck synching to your 10.5.8 system, but you can get and try 10.6.3 here:

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Upgraded to Photo on MacBook Pro and lost all of the EVENTS I had in prior version
Upgraded to Photo on MacBook and Lost all the Events in my prior iPhoto library How do I get them back?
Upgraded to Photo on MacBook and Lost all the Events in my prior iPhoto library How do I get them back?
There are no events at all in Photos. The Library is no longer partitioned into events, it is split into Moments, and the Moments are created automatically based on the date and the location, if a locations available. You have no control at all over the partitioning of the library - Photos is doing that for you.
The folder "iPhoto Events" does not contain events, it has new albums. For each of the previous events an album has been created. But these are really albums and will not behave like events at all. And if you import new photos, they will show in the "Last Import" album, but no album will be created for this new import.
Any structuring you want to do in your library will have to be based on albums or smart albums. Use keywords to tag your photos, so you can create smart albums. -
i have updated my 4s iphone to ios 6.1.3 and have trouble connecting it to wi fi . i tried to back up it on itunes and then restore it but now i have left with a phone that still doesnt connect to wi fi and lost all my data. anyone knows how to fix it?
If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, there is a hardware problem.

i synced my iphone 5 with my computer and save all the photos to my phone through itunes. i restored my mac and lost all my photos on the mac but i still have them on my phone. how do i get them on my new mac now?
how do i get them on my new mac now?
Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better. -

Upgrade to 10.6.3 and lost all addresses but 1
I upgraded my OS from 10.4.11 to 10.6.3. I thought everything was fine until I opened my Address Book. Only one address appeared. I tried the suggestion made by Barney-15E to a similar post, but the results was two entries in the Address Book, mine and Apple's. I did back up my addressbook.data file before I made the OS upgrade. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
SteveI know this topic is "Answered," but I have the same problem. I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard yesterday and lost all my addresses. I couldn't find a way to backup the address book, and hoped I wouldn't have problems.
Of course, losing all my addresses is about the only thing that went wrong (that I've discovered so far).
Am I out of luck, or is there a way to recover the data. I've tried the com.apple.whatever trick and the one here. No luck.
I've already started sending notices to people to recover as much info as possible - maybe this time I'll learn not to depend only on the computer. -
I upgraded my iOS 3.3.5 to 5.0 on my iPhone 4 and lost all photos on camera roll. Where are they and can they be recovered?
Have you been using your phone as recommended? If so, you've been importing photos in your camera roll onto your computer for safe keeping. Just as you would with a standalone digital camera. Your photos would then reside safely on your computer for archival.
While camera roll photos ARE part of the backup, not everything always goes smoothly as you've seen, which is why the recommendation to import photos as soon as possible to your computer.
If you have a recent backup of your iPhone, you can restore and hopefully many of your photos will be on this backup. Any photos or data added to your phone since this last backup are, of course, gone forever.

I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.
If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you?
