What happened to my bookmarks

Hi, I use a PC and Internet Explorer. I uploaded all of my bookmarks and now have several copies of each folder, most are empty. Is there an easy way to delete the duplicates? Thanks

This is how you fix this and restore your previously saved bookmarks.
Go to settings,iCloud,then turn off safari. It will prompt you to delete from ipad. Press delete from ipad. Then press ON for safari again and the bookmarks will return.

I got the latest update but...What happened to my bookmarks?

I got the latest update... But what happened to my bookmarks?

Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

What happened to my bookmarks, there gone?

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. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
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!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

Moved to a new computer running windows 7. what happened to the bookmark sidebar? how do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?

new computer, loaded Firefox 4. What happened to bookmark sidebar? How do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?
old computer is offline, so if I have to make a copy of something hopefully it can be done offline.
Don't really understand why windows 7 renders Firefox so different that XP. Will change, but really like the old feel.

I'm using the great Firefox 5.o. What happened to the "Bookmark All Tabs" feature that used to be found under Bookmarks? I love Mozilla Firefox!!!! :-)

I've looked under the Bookmarks heading as well as History. What happened to the extremely useful "Bookmark All Tabs". Loved that feature of Firefox. Thank you!!!!!!

Right-click '''on''' a Tab to see that menu item or use {Ctrl + Shft + D}.
In conjunction with the new Firefox button in Firefox 4.0 and with the addition of some new features that added a number of new menu items, many of the older menu items were moved around or only appear under certain conditions. It can be a bit confusing until you get used to the changes, but beyond adding new menu items in the future for new features, I don't think there will be major changes like that for awhile.

What happened to the "bookmark this group of tabs" function?

Firefox 6.0 doesn't have a "bookmark this group of tabs" function on the bookmarks menu. What happened to it? Can it still be done? How? This is progress???

Thanks. Is it me, or is this completely counterintuitive? I expect the tab context menu to have stuff that applies to a particular tab, and the Bookmarks menu to contain functions concerned with bookmarks globally.

What happened to my bookmarks, i cant bookmark or find my previous bookmarks (i had a lot and they were important)! How do i get them back, because I've tried all the things you suggest, but its NO HELP!

Earlier today, I was bookmarking things and everything was working perfectly fine. I got back on firefox later, and i noticed all my bookmarks were gone. I tried bookmarking other pages and it didnt work! I WANT MY BOOKMARKS BACK AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOOKMARK AGAIN! Your "helping" pages are no freaking help!!

What have you tried?
Have you gone through all the options in the [[lost bookmarks]] article? It is possible that the file that stores bookmarks is damaged, see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite Locked or damaged places.sqlite - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]

HT5824 What happened to my bookmarks? They're ALL GONE. From every computer...

Set my bookmarks to be saved on the cloud. They appeared on all of my PC's until one of them underwent updates. Now ALL bookmarks from my Favorites bar are gone from ALL computers. What gives? Even tried to system restore back before the updates - no dice.

What happened to my Bookmarks Toolbar?

I just updated Firefox to version 15.0 on the Mac. Suddenly, all of my bookmark folders that are supposed to be in my Bookmarks Toolbar are no longer there, and the Toolbar won't let me put them back there. This is substantially non-optimal. I must say, I'm becoming less and less of a fan of Firefox with every passing update, which saddens me.

To cor-el:
Thank you, cor-el!! You really listened to the question and gave an answer that really worked ... without having to reset all the other Firefox setup.
The only problem I (and the original poster) had was that the "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" icon in the Customize dialog was no longer labeled as such, so it was not obvious what icon was needed to drag back to the Bookmarks Toolbar area. But there were a couple of icons labeled "bookmarks," so I just experimented and tried dragging them -- and one of them turned into the "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" icon as soon as it was dragged to the correct area.
So it solved my problem instantly and I thank you very much, because I use that toolbar more than any other!!

What happened to the "bookmark this page" link on the right-click menu?

I used to right-click most anywhere on a webpage and the option to choose any bkmrk folder, or create a new subfolder. There was no message stating "page bookmarked"; I would select where I wanted to file the bkmrk and the bkmrk would be there. Simple concept. worked well. Was efficient bcs you never had to reorient to any other part of the screen, or at least not the periphery. R-click --> "bookmark this page" menu appears as if it were a context menu. I just downloaded and installed FF 32.0.2. The
r-click feature I speak of disappeared with the upgrade just before this one.

Thanks. I think I clicked on that somewhere in the proceedings, but maybe not. i agree with several other posters, though; a lot of changes generally do not seem necessary or to significantly improve anything. However I am a psychologist, not an IT pro and maybe I just don't understand.
What was wrong with it the way it was, I wonder....
Thanks again. I won't lose any sleep over it.

What happened to the Bookmark all Tabs/Save and Exit/Open previous session feature in 4.0? If this has been taken out then 4.0 is of no use to me. I'll have to go back to 3.6

In 3.6 when ever I closed the browser with multi tabs open it would give me the option to Save and Exit. Then when I reopened the browser it would give me the option to open the previous session. I could also bookmark all open tabs. All of these features appear to no longer be present in 4.0. If this is the case I will be forced to uninstall and reinstall 3.6.

Bookmark All Tabs - you can get it when you right-click on a tab, or use keyboard shortcut Control+Shift+D.
Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

What happened to my bookmarks, and how do I retrieve them. Your instructions are not working for me

I have Yahoo mail, and recently they changed the format. Ever since then I've had nothing but trouble. At one time I lost my Orange Firefox button which contained the print, and bookmarks ops, among others. One day I lost my button, so I un-then re-installed Firefox. Shortly after that I lost my bookmarks, and have NOT
been able to retrieve them DISPITE following the instructions. I started a new bookmark list, and then I lost
it again. Your instructions do not work for me. I even tried re-installing Firefox, but that was a waste of time.
I really like Firefox, but it seems since Yahoo Mail changed, I've had trouble with it. Sometimes changing something doesn't always work out .................................................If I can't retrieve these bookmarks, I'll just have to change my browser.............................

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

What happened to the bookmarks? next to the star which is bookmark this page is not a list of your bookmarks but the bookmark menu....

with the latest update. Next to the star where you can bookmark a page used to be the bookmarks drop down. Now it opens up your bookmarks menu. How do you get it back to being a drop down of your bookmarks??

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some features that got lost with the change to Australis.

After updating to firefox 5 all my bookmarks are lost, and I can not find an old places.sqlite file. What happened to my bookmarks?

I updated from Firefox 3 to Firefox 5 (Windows XP), and all my bookmarks are lost. Maybe I should have thought of making a backup but I did not think of this and previously after an update I could find them again. Now I can not find my bookmarks anywhere, all files in my profile have a date and time from the new installation. Is there any chance of finding my bookmarks somewhere else on my computer? If so, where are they and how can I restore them?

Thanks for the answer. I read the article but it seems that the solution to my problem is not in there. Apart from the lost bookmarks Firefox is working fine, also I can make new bookmarks and delete them without problems. When I restart Firefox I don't loose them.
Apparently after installing Firefox 5 everything of Firefox 3 was deleted including my profile. The only bookmark .json file I have is from the new installation, which means it does not contain any of my old bookmarks. It now has today's date and time.
In my profile I have three 'places' files, now all with today's date and time:
- places.sqlite (10240 kb)
- places.sqlite-shm (32 kb)
- places.sqlite-wal (865 kb)
But even though places.sqlite is large, it apparently does not contain my old information. Or could it? Then how to get to it?

OS X 10.4.11 and Safari 3.04 for PPC--What Happened to My Bookmarks?

I have tried everything with the new Combo Updater to 10.4.11 for PPC but I can't get my Safari 3.04 to keep any Bookmarks. I eliminated AcidSearch 0.62 and Safari Extender 1.6.6--neither of which works yet with 10.4.11 and Safari 3.04 for PPC--but even when I import my Bookmarks from a copy on my external hard drive, even when I replace the username/Library/Safari/bookmarks.plst and the username/Library/preferences/com.apple.Safari.plst, even when I try the stand-alone download for the updater instead of the Software Update method, none of it seems to make any difference. I can't keep any Bookmarks. Does anybody out there have any other suggestions?

Hi Mark,
I looked at my YourUsername/Library/Input Managers and saw 1PasswdIM but have not heard anyone else giving that as a problem. Could this be the issue?
I must admit I haven't heard of it causing problems so far as well (and can't see an immediate connection to your problem) but I would try moving 1PasswdIM onto your Desktop to temporarily disable it. Restart Safari to make it pick up this change.
I can't imagine deleting all of those just to get my Safari bookmarks to work.
Me neither. Sorry, I forgot lots of other apps add temporary information into there as well. Some of the Safari helpers add information here as well - skip the Application Support folders for the moment though.
/Library/Input Managers, I have Chax, Ecamm, and SIMBL (whatever that is).
SIMBL is used by many developers to allow Safari input managers to work correctly. As before, move the contents of this folder to your Desktop and restart Safari.
With both the Input Managers empty, does Safari handle the bookmarks correctly now?
Let us know how you get on.
