Why are my bookmarks disappearing?

Recently when I reset Safari all my bookmarks disappear. This hasn't happened until the last three times I've reset Safari. In the past, when I did a reset, my bookmarks stay tho the history, caches and downloads are deleted. I would like to keep my bookmarks, any help?

Hello! Try repairing permissions in apps>utilities>disk utility>repair permissions then restart and see if next time the bookmarks stay put. Also you could use SafariBookmarkExporter to save a copy. Tom

Why are my bookmarks disappearing then reappearing hours to days later?

I have an iPhone 4S. After updating to iOS 6.0.1, my Safari bookmarks disappeared. They reappeared, but they continue to disappear. They'll comeback at random times - sometime hours, sometimes days later. Anyone experience this and/or know the solution? Thanks!

Interesting never noticed that before.
The pins on the images in the film strip are toggled on and off by the menu item Show Place badges, under the gear,
Why that is toggled on when you select an image, view it and drop back to film strip mode is unknown. Doesn't seem to be a use for it. If the badges are a problem you can toggle them off by going to this menu. If you need them on before going to view mode you can toggle them on here.
You could report this to Apple Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback as a bug.

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally on my ipad mini if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

They should be. If you have lost bookmarks try restarting Safari:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.

I don't use sync and am not signed in? Why are my bookmarks syncing?

My office computer has one set of bookmarks I use at work. My home PC has another, different set of bookmarks that I use at home. I don't use sync and am not signed into sync on either PC. Why are my bookmarks syncing between the two PCs? For instance, I noticed several bookmarks near the top of my bookmark menu above a separator line that I do not use at work. I deleted them. I get home and find those same bookmarks gone from my home PC. I don't want to sync anything between the two computers, why is this happening?

Perhaps an add-on is syncing these for you.
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Why are my screensavers disappearing in Lion?

Why are my screen-savers disappearing in Lion? Word of the day -- gone! Is there anyway to get them back or do I have to wait until Apple offers a fix?

The very same thing happened to me. I was an early adopter of Lion and haven't had a single issue with it -- until yesterday. I haven't shut down, I haven't installed any new updates, I haven't manually deleted anything. It has all been "business as usual" then my laptop's screensaver turned on and had a black background with simply the words "word of the day" scrolling across the screen. My screensaver turns on multiple times per day so this isn't just something that went unnnoticed. Now the only options I have are "flurry" and "computer name" -- no thanks!

Why are Safari bookmarks taking the place of Firefox bookmarks on my Macbook.

I installed Mozilla Firefox on my Macbook. My Safari bookmarks have populated where my Firefox bookmarks should be and my Sync account exports no Firefox bookmarks. Can anyone help me with this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Still the Safari bookmarks and Sync is doing nothing.

As soon as I submitted this question, I noticed the Firefox bookmarks toolbar was suddenly populated my Safari bookmarks from my Macbook Air. The Sync account on my Mac had exported my Safari bookmarks to my Desktop PC. I freaked out and then restored my bookmarks from >Library>Import and Backup. I have close to 1000 bookmarks that I have saved. I am moving and need to pack away my PC and I will only have use of my Macbook. And I rely heavily on my Firefox bookmarks for research. Thank you anyone for helping me figure out why my Safari bookmarks have overrode my Firefox Sync account and toolbar.

Why did my bookmarks disappear?

This is Firefox 4.0.1, on a Windows XP sp3 machine.
I've got two questions - one is the immediate problem that my bookmarks have all disappeared. Before I give up entirely, is there someplace maybe that I could look to find them?
The other is why? I do not recall doing anything except installing Java on my desktop. Does Firefox just suddenly decide on its own to delete bookmarks? Did Java do this?
I looked in the Profiles folder, and see only one profile, and it has only two folders in the backup directory - today and yesterday. I didn't manually do either backup. I remember I used to have at least one back up, because several months ago, I downloaded an app that would parse the xml from my bookmark backups. But I can't remember where those bookmarks are.
But what's with just having some website go in and start messing around with the data on my machine? It definitely creeps me out.

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

Why are most photos disappearing from albums in iWeb?

I'm having a problem with the photo albums on iWeb.
I drag a photo album from my iPhoto window in iWeb to the photo album web page and it becomes an album with slideshow capabilities. If I publish the site, everything appears fine. I save iWeb and exit.
Now if I open iWeb again, all three of the photo album pages still exist, but on each page, only four of the original photos remain. The albums are supposed to have 29 photos, 35 photos, and 46 photos total. Now they each show four.
I thought it was a fluke, so I added them all again including captions. Then I saved, closed and reopened iWeb. The photos in the web albums were gone again.
I'm using iLife '09 with the iPhoto that exists on my laptop, but all the source photos are located on a Mac Mini in my local network. Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Note that the complete album as uploaded to the actual website still exists and works great. But if I publish the changes, the album will disappear.
Thanks.

Look under "More like this" on the right of this page, specifically "Re: no photo selected"; the discussion there may be of help.

Why are my bookmarks becoming invisible?

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, I've been having display issues with my bookmarks toolbar. Whenever I mouse over the last five or six bookmarks, their icons disappear until I reload the page. I cannot access any of the bookmarks that have been disappearing in this way, but the rest of my 40+ bookmarks are fine.

Why are my photos disappearing from my camera roll?

I just recently got a new iPhone 6 and my photos from my camera are disappearing everyday. I don't know why because i have plenty of space on my phone and even bought the 20 GB iCloud monthly plan. I used to have a little over a thousand pictures and now if you go to the top of the camera roll they will disappear in order everyday and generally stays around 300 pictures but fluctuates daily. Please help, I am losing valuable pictures that I wish to keep forever.

How exactly have you set up sharing? How did you set R/W on the Library "file"?

Why are my notes disappearing from my iphone

Some of my notes have disappeared from my iPhone 5S. I noticed a while back on my old 4S. I spent about 3 hours at the Apple store trying to fix this. But it was a waste of time. My notes are backed up to my iCloud and yahoo so I still have them. This apparently is a common problem because there are a lot of folks asking the same question. The same answer that I have seen is how to retrieve them. That isn't a solution. Why is this happening and what needs to be done to keep it from happening. This is a very useful app but it is no good when it continues to lose my notes. Same thing is happening with my wife's 5S too!

Yahoo is holding Notes as hostage. Check your Yahoo account settings.
