Upgraded to V 4; destroyed all my bookmarks and will not reload them? Just goes into 'not respnding' mode.

When I upgraded to beta Version 4.12 (?) the latest available anyway. At first the bookmarks tab would not work; nothing happened when I clicked on it. So could not access bookmarks and could not create new ones.
This seemed to correct itself yesterday; but now have lost all my bookmarks in total. It gives me the option to recover them; but when I try Firefox locks up; mouse turns to circulating circle and message at top of browser is 'not responding'.
This also causes memory resources to 'red line' and makes computer unusable.
CPU resources seem not to be affected.
I am using the 'SAM Find' add on tool bar; it was swamped with links to bookmarks I have never used when I upgraded. They have now been deleted and my tool bar seems to work as it was before I upgraded
I have two computers - Laptop (the focus of this Question) and a Desktop; both configured the same way. I upgraded the desktop to the beta when it was first available; it provides no upgrade path to the latest version without me physically downloading and installing the latest version. That I did yesterday.
Having done that I now have addon's on my laptop like InboxQ that work fine; but on desk top get message 'this version of Firefox does not support...'
While I am aware and understand this is a beta version I a discovering a number of inconsistencies in what I can do one one computer that I am unable on the other, even though I am running the same versions of the beta. To my knowledge both are setup the same and both running in the same environments.
I have to say I am less than happy not being able to access my book marks.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You should avoid using the same Firefox profile with different Firefox versions. 
If you currently do then create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

HP PSC 1500 printer all lights blinking and will not turn off.

HP PSC 1500 printer all lights blinking and will not turn off. I had just put a print cartridge in and the problems started. All lights began blinking including the on/off. The on/off button would nor respond. (just kept blinking)
I opened the printer door and the cartridges did not move back to the right so they could be examined.

Hi mlbroad,
I understand that you are having an issue with your printer, and certain lights are blinking. I have included the document 'Blinking Lights'. This document will take you through the different combination of lights that are blinking, as well as steps to provide a solution.
If this does not resolve the issue, please let me know exactly what lights are blinking.
Please let me know if this resolves your issue, thank you.

Upgrading in Firefox cost me ALL MY BOOKMARKS AND my YAHOO e-mail. Why?

For the second time in a month, I "upgraded" because of a Firefox suggestion that kept popping up on my screen to do so. Now, for the second time, ALL MY BOOKMARKS are GONE, and, when I try to bring up my Yahoo e-mail account, all I get is a bar the says: "Bad Request"...what's going on Firefox?

Firefox 4 uses a new build-in home page called about:home
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox used in Firefox 3 versions.

I have a 2011 iMac running MAC OS X Version 10.6.8. I get msgs. to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox. When I start the download, it goes into a buffering mode, nothing happens. Also happens when I go to the FF website to download manually.

Details are above.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

My phone thinks it is connected to a dock all the time and will not play any sound or ring what do i need to do?

my phone thinks that it is connected to a dock all the time and wont play ringtones or any other sound. I know that the speakers work because it will randomly play sound but for a very short amount of time and just recently stopped making sounds all together. the phone is almost brand new and has no damage I just bought it a few months ago. What can I do to fix the problem?

Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If not, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. See if better. If not, try Restore. If still a problem, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

Upgrade 5.0.1 deleted all my songs and apps I want them back

I am asking for help to get my songs and applications back on my iphone. I recently upgraded to the latest software the 5.0.1? and I followed directions to the T. First I put Tunes back on my laptop's C drive since ive got limited space it cant remain in C but is in D drive on a split system. So, I put back the Tunes software and follow the instructions to update my phone and then I see an Error notice. That my phone is missing some compatability page or something. Ive no idea what the missing page is or how to get it back. So, I simply follow on screen instructions and suddenly the iphones new software is loading once again and Im being instructed on the actual phone what to press next and why. Once finished I open up the phone and I see the new icon for tunes and i open that and there are NO SONGs....none. I had over 80 songs on that system that I want back. This isnt the first time this has happened. Each time an upgrade comes up this happens. I could once contact Itunes people and they would check my account history and put back onto my phone what had been taken off. I dont see any option now that makes that available.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...[email protected]

Do you mean that when, for example, you click on Music under Library in the sidebar, no music appears when formerly it did. Or, the tracks are listed but with exclamation points next to them and they just won't play?

Upgraded iTunes no longer "sees" my airport express and will not network

Since upgrading to iTunes 8.2, iTunes no longer recognizes or sees my airport express (there is no longer an option box on the lower right area of the iTunes info so I can select computer speaker or additional speakers. The iTunes help says it should recognize the network when it starts, but it doesn't. My Airport is working properly. Sure would like to get those living room speakers back in the game!

I updated Airport Utility to 5.4.2 and even though it ended up telling me I hadn't changed my settings on the AE I use to play iTunes on my stereo, after the update of my Base and Express, the Multiple Speakers box appeared again on iTunes the next time I opened the iTunes window. Also, AU managed to, for the very first time, give me a solid green light on the AE, after a year + of blinking orange. So my advice is to update your Airport Utility and run it.

Safari quits all the time and will not relaunch! Any suggestions?

I can't Launch safari on my imac! Every time i try I keep getting this error message....
Can anyone help?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Since loading Firefox version 5 all my emails from talktalk have all become "undefined" and will not allow me to click onto open box. Only access from other computers with different browsers will. Problem with Firefox or problem with Talktalk?

I tried going to system restore, but could not open any pages at all after going to a system restore point. Had to reverse this as could not access anything at all then via Mozilla Firefox icon.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

Mail in 10.6.4 not usable: it consumes all CPU time and will not quit

Mail application does not work properly.
It eats up most of the available CPU time (till >300% on my machine), becomes unresponsive and will only quit when killed by a force quit in the Activity Monitor.
I have only two accounts set up. One Gmail account and a google apps one.
I used to synch with a Blackberry but now I synch directly through google apps.
The problem was sporadic at best at first but has become the usual behaviour now. Major change has been installing 10.6.4
I have switched to Thunderbird since Mail is not usable.
Tx for any hint on how to solve this issue

It seems to be a recurring issue with 10.6.4...there's probably not much mere mortals like us can do. I haven't found a solution. Try re-installing 10.6.4.

Firefox 4 has completely messed up my computer,lost all my bookmarks, and cannot replace them, Tried reinstalling 3-6-13, but they have all gone. It has ruined my browser.

Installed 4, but it will not work or display opening page. Reinstalled 3-6-13,but the bookmarks toolbar has gone, replaced by sidebar, but it will not accept new bookmarks and will not sync with my other computers bookmarks. I am not an expert deeply regret installing 4, have spent six hours trying to sort it out. Even system restore will not recover the original bookmarks.

There are two folders: in the original account main /Users folder there is an icon of a house and a shared folder.
In the new admin account, there is the same thing.
I do not have a backup, but I can eaisly backup all of my important data by just dragging the user folder onto an external harddrive.
Yes, I did log out of the old account & into a new admin one.
Other facts: I cannot create folders in the original (old) account. For both accounts, I cannot access any programs, except for safari and ones that I come with the computer. For example, I cannot open Chrome or Word. Safari sometimes pops open a window that says I have the wrong keychain. This does not happen all the time, so I do not know exactly what the message said, something about keychains.
Also, when I click on the house in the User folder, I find that my old user folder is inside of it (that's where I can access all of my old documents). The old user folder has the old username that I tried changing (which started this whole mess)
Thanks for the help--any ideas of what I should do?

If I upgrade from Firefox 3.6 to firefox 4 Beta on my iMac, will I still have all the same bookmarks, or will I lose them?

If I upgrade from Firefox 3.6 to firefox 4 Beta on my iMac, will I still have all the same bookmarks, or will I lose them?

You are using Mac OS 10.4. Firefox 4.0 is not compatible with this OS. It supports only Mac OS 10.5 and above. Please see this article: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html Firefox 4 system requirements].

When I upgraded to FF 15.0.1 I lost all my bookmarks and history.

I got a new Mac (OS 10.8.2) and I upgraded my FF (now 15.0.1) . But all my bookmarks and history are gone. What can I do?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
