Why do my bookmark tabs keep disappearing?

I have a mac and ever since my Firefox was updated automatically and told me to install the newest version of Flash Player, my bookmark tabs have disappeared. And every time I add them again once I quit Firefox and restart it they are gone again. I haven't touched my preferences in a very long time and this problem only started when the browser was updated. I've tried re-installing the browser and Flash Player, which didn't work. I've also tried holding down option while opening Firefox and selecting to restore my bookmarks, which also doesn't help me.

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

Why would my Acrobat tab keep disappearing from my Office programs?

Every so often, my Acrobat tab keeps disappearing from my Office programs. It seems totally random, but happens when I am actually using the tool to convert a word doc or excel spreadsheet to PDF. I am using Office 2007 Professional and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
I have no problems getting the Acrobat tab back by doing the following:
1. Close the affected Office program (ie Word, Excel etc)
2. Reopen the affected Office program as Administrator.
3. Go into Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and delete the existing Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin.
4. Click OKs and close the program.
5. Reopen as Administrator and go back to Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and Add Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin.
(The add in for me is stored at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office and select the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll file. )
Once I add it back this way, it stays for sometimes up to 2 months, but then disappears again. I've had this happen in Word and Excel.
So getting it back is not an issue, but knowing what it happens in the first place and stopping that occurrence would be even better.
Any help with be awesome.
Thank you

Yeah.. I just noticed I was missing stuff last week, and then realized that my Apple TV was not showing up in my iTunes device list. I'm just hoping that the silence on this issue from Apple is a sign that they are getting ready to push out an update to correct either itunes or Apple TV. I've read lots of complaints, and just a few remedies. I've tried the remedies (including the one on the Apple TV support site) and none of them work for me. I have noticed one thing that that I wanted to try. In iTunes->Preferences->Apple TV I have an Apple TV in the "Apple TV's connected to iTunes" window, that shows a status of syncing. Since I don't have an Apple TV in the device list, and my Apple TV was reset days ago so it is giving me the code to enter into iTunes, can I assume that this item can and should be deleted. I don't think this is going to solve my problem, but it looks like a good next step. Any suggestions?

My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will stay for a week or so, then all of a sudden they're gone. I checked the forums and everything that was suggested there, I did or un-did. But there's no point in having the tabs if they don't stay.

My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will be there for a week or so, then they just aren't there the next time I open the browser. My settings seem to be OK, i.e. no clearing of history, etc.
It's frustrating because then I have to go through the whole process of pinning everything as app tabs again.

Try the suggestion in this thread: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/840901 instead of the garbage above. You would think mozdevs who actually know a solution to this problem would post the solution in all the relevant threads.
If it doesnt work too, I'm ready to get rid of FF as my primary browser.
Why bother providing a feature thats buggy ?? I once wasted my time pinning 20 apps over and over again till I realized it was poorly written and unsupported.

Why does my Epson printer keep disappearing from my ipad

Why does my air printer keep disappearing from my ipad

reboot the router (and the printer).
If still happening, check your router settings. Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.

My tabs keep disappearing.

My last update was 4/21. Since then my tabs are disappearing from view when I open multiple pages. If I move my cursor to the top of the page, they reappear. I am wondering if this was part of the update? It temporarily allows you to view a bit more of the page I am viewing, but if this is supposed to be an advantage...it is NOT. I like to be able to see what tabs I have open and not have to scroll to the top of the page every time. Please help me correct or change this...thank you.

Firefox might be in full screen view. The F11 key switches between normal and full screen views.
It should <u>not</u> get stuck that way... If you find you have to keep switching out of full screen view, the file that stores window dimensions might have become corrupted. You can rename the file to resolve that issue, but this also may affect which bars are shown (for example, if you like using the classic menu bar, you may need to turn that back on). Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old.
Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

Why are do my emails keep disappearing from inbox

Why do my emails keep disappearing from my inbox?

Actually you can set it to a 1000. But anyway i solved my problem. I had to set the days to sync from unlimited to 30 days.

My bookmark tabs keep rearranging. I never had this problem until I reinstalled firefox.

I reformatted my computer a few days ago and reinstalled firefox. I then added to my bookmark tabs from memory. Every time I bring up the browser, the tabs are rearranged so I have to reorder them they way I want. Some of the tabs don't even drag.

You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

Why do my text messages keep disappearing in IOS 5 on my 3GS?

I have an iPhone 3GS that i have updated to IOS 5 and lost all my old text messages that i had kept from 2007 which really annoyed me but what is even more annoying is that my current messages keep disappearing. If i am in an app and get a notification saying i have recieved a text and click on the notification the new text message isn't in my inbox. This keeps happening and it is getting rather annoying because i can't reply to people as i can't read their original message.
Any ideos how i can fix this...

For some reason iphone can only store 15MB of text messages (75,000), if you have that much already it is full and you won't be able to receive incoming text message until you free some space. If all that text message is important to you then I'd find a way to transfer those into your computer by using a third party program (google it). Or just take a screenshot of all your text messages and e-mail them to your computer.

Why does my scroll bar keep disappearing when I am trying to scroll on my macbook pro . I am using osx version 10.9

Why does my new bookmark folder keep disappearing?

I'm new to Firefox and have twice added a new folder to my bookmarks list and have then added urls to it. The laptop has then been turned off and when I come back on both the folder and the saved urls have vanished. I've added the folder in Bookmarks -> Show all bookmarks. I'm using firefox 4.

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

Why do my downloaded books keep disappearing from i book on my iPad 2?, why do my downloaded books keep disappearing from i book on my iPad 2?

why can i not finish a book i've downloaded to my iPad 2? i started reading a book on ibooks yesterday and bookmarked my place. now today it wouldn't open it and said it could not connect to itunes (which is wrong i can open itunes). then all of the books on ibooks disappeared (just empty bars like it is trying to download). why they were all there yesterday and working fine. i've had this problem for a couple of weeks now. i just downloaded the new updates for iPad yesterday but obviously it did not fix my problem. why does this keep happening and how can this be fixed so i can read a book without wondering if it will still be there when i get back to it? help! please!

I personally think the disappearing files are caused by flaky/slow internet connection.
I always make sure files are uploaded to the cloud before I close the app.

Why do my tv shows keep disappearing?

I've bought one episode of Superatural and one of Moonlight, and each time I play them they disappear off of my iPod. They're both in my Purchase History, but not on my hard drive. I realize that next time I need to make a backup disc, but why does this keep happening?

I have no idea. A little more information might help us help you.
Email provider?
Type of email account (POP, IMAP, Exchange, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail)?
Other devices that access your email (computer, iPad, another phone)?

Why does the bookmark button keeps moving from navigation to bookmark toolbar when I don't put it there; how to solve this?

Because my screen isn't that big, I want my bookmark-toolbar-items (the item for the special bookmarks folder) to take all width, and I want the bookmarks button on the navigation toolbar (because I don't need such a long url field).
As you can edit the toolbars and their buttons, I did change it to what I want, but whenever saving & closing the edit-window the bookmarks button (with the drop-down menu) moves down one toolbar automatically. This is very, very annoying, not the least because in the editing mode it is ok (it also is saved correctly).
Any way to overcome this problem?

When the Bookmarks Toolbar is displayed, the Bookmarks button automatically moves from the Navigation Toolbar to the Bookmarks Toolbar. This is intended behavior. I can't tell you ''why'' though, as it doesn't make any sense to me either and I likely find it twice as annoying as you do.
Install the following extension.

Why does my Apple TV keep disappearing from Itunes?

Now this is frustrating. Recently, after months with no problem, my Apple TV is not appearing in my list of devices in itunes. I have switched it off, restarted the Mac etc. Then I reset the Apple TV, hey presto, it was back, until I reloaded the latest software update, when it disappeared again. Any clues as to why this is happening? I must point out that I have recently added Windows Vista to the Imac, but would not expect that to affect the Apple TV, but what do I know?

Yeah.. I just noticed I was missing stuff last week, and then realized that my Apple TV was not showing up in my iTunes device list. I'm just hoping that the silence on this issue from Apple is a sign that they are getting ready to push out an update to correct either itunes or Apple TV.
