Upgraded to I OS8 and all my shortcuts are gone!

After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPad air, I am in disbelief to see that my hundreds and hundreds of shortcuts are gone! How could this happen? Apparently, according to Apple support, there is no way to get them back! How can this be possible!?
I use these shortcuts for everything I do.  This is very inconvenient. 

Did you lose all your bookmarks, e.g., Bookmarks menu is empty or has basic default bookmarks?
Could you check whether you still have your bookmarkbackups folder?
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
This should open a Finder window to your personal settings folder (AKA your Firefox profile folder)
If there is a bookmarkbackups folder in there, check inside for dated daily backup files. Can you find them? If so, you can use the Restore feature described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]. This process completely replaces whatever partial or default bookmarks you might have.
By the way, did you lose your history, too, or just bookmarks?

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and all my files are gone

    I upgraded to Yosemite on my Macbook pro and once it restarted after the install, my desktop was empty and all my documents are gone.
    I do have a time machine backup on an external drive but I am hesitant to connect it for fear of losing overriding that data too.
    I did get an error that the library need to be repaired so I am wondering if the update did not process correctly

    I'm seeing a lot of activity about this on other forums about like this one: "
    Mail index damaged after yosemite upgrade"
    I'm betting I'm seeing the same problem. Should I try this?:
    Try re-indexing and rebuilding the mailbox:

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I just updated my iPod touch and all my pictures are gone!!! How do I get them back? Please help!!!

    I just updated my iPod touch 4th generation to iOS 6.0.1 and all my pictures are gone!!! Everything else is there but my pictures! How do I get them back? Please help!!!

    If the photos were i your iPod's Camera Roll album (taken by or saved to the iPod you can:
    - If your PhotoStream is on you can get the last 30 days worth back. See that topic here:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Or you can restore from backup if you backed up when the photos were on the iPod.
    If the photos were synced to the iPod then you have to get them from where you got them the first time.

  • I can not create an event and all my appts are gone

    Hello LuckyLuxy,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to sync your contact photos, you would need to have iCloud Contacts enabled on both devices.  Take a look at the following support article for more information.

    Take care,

  • HT4623 I updated my Iphone 4 and all my contacts are gone, what can I do to restore them?

    I updated my IPhone 4 and now my contacts are gone.  What can I do to retore them?

    Snowbound
    The tab that Roaminggnome is talking about is your "Info" tab.  As you can see my contacts and calendars on my iPhone are being synced through iCloud.
    I also regularly take an export copy of my contacts and save it separately.  This doesn't help you now but it may help you on a go-forward basis.
    Cheers
