Why does my sidebar index of bookmarks take so long to recover every time I move a bookmark and how do I fix it?

Once I've moved a bookmark in the sidebar, the entire list will freeze up for sometimes a minute before anything works again.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Why does the "more info" of "Get info" get erased after the first time I look at it, and how can I get it back?

    When I download a graphic, photo, or PDF, I can get information about it, including size and the web address of the download, using Get info. But in Mountain Lion, after I look at a file once, this information disappears. This wasn't true of Snow Leopard, though I can't remember whether it was true of Lion. In any case, it seems like a bug. Is there a way to recover this information?

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

    Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Why does Safari forget my Facebook password or end my Facebook session every time I sign in to Skype? And how do I make it stop?

    Why does Safari forget my Facebook password or end my Facebook session every time I sign in to Skype? And how do I make it stop?

    If you go into Facebook settings, in the app section under your account, and delete the skype from your facebook apps, it appears to fix this issue.

  • Why does syncing photos with my iPad take so long even if the photos on my Mac haven't changed?

    Whenever I sync my iPad (1st generation) with my Mac/iTunes, everything syncs fine, but the syncing of the photos takes forever - even if none of the photos has changed on my Mac.  Is this normal?  Anyone else experiencing long sync times?  Is there any way to tell the iPad or Mac to not bother re-syncing existing photos that haven't changed (just do a delta?)  Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Discussions.
    Considering OS X is extremely stable I don't think there is something Apple needs to address. However there very well could be an issue with your set up. One of the common issues is if you live in a suburban area you may be competing for bandwidth for wi-fi with your neighbors. Most wi-fi routers are use channel's 5 & 6 as their default channels and most people never change them. Where I less I no less than 15 wi-fi networks within range so I changed my channel. You can download and use iStumbler (Google it) and it will tell you what networks are within range and what channel each is using. There are about 11 channels so then it's just a matter of changing your router's channel. If you are using a Airport Extreme or Airport Express you can use Airport Utility to do this, if you are using another router then locate instructions for how to change channels.
    Another possiblity is your ISP could be causing the problem by using DNS settings that create problems. I use Comcast as my ISP (if you're not familiar with them, they're huge!) and was forced to change mine. Here is an article from MacWorld that explains the problem and how to fix it.

  • Why does the message "the last backup could not be completed" appears every time i try to back up my touch?

    Hi, I'm trying to back up my itouch in icloud but every time I try to hit the button backup now a message that says "the last backup could not be completed" appears. I would like to know why does it appears and what can I do to fix it?
    I would be grateful if you answer.

    Try the following steps:
    Plug your iPod Touch to your Mac/PC using USB cable.
    Open iTunes software and choose “backup to this computer” .
    Then you need to do a sysncing.
    Go to iCloud (iPod Touch: Settings > iCloud) and delete all previous backups.
    Then in iTunes, Turn on “backup to iCloud” again.
    On your iOS device, now you are able to backup to iCloud.

  • Why does the Welcome to firefox tab open with my google tab every time I open the browser? And why can't the browser hold any add-ons I downloaded? I loose then when I close the browser, even tool bars have to be reinstalled every time I open the browser

    Every time I open the browser the Welcome to Firefox tab is the first tab, then a second tab opens and thats my google, then a 3rd tab opens for me to reinstall my toolbar. This has been happening for a good year. Updates have not fixed it. Others have this problem. I did a search for an answer, the question is out there but no answer. Now if I go into add ons and add a background Theme or an extension it all is gone when I exit the browser. When I open the browser again I get all 3 tabs and have to install my toolbar again. I DO NOT want to reinstall as I will loose all my saved data, passwords, bookmarks, everything! I have had this computer for a year, Windows Vista x64 bit. Its not the computer, it's the browser. If you have specific questions e-mail me and I will be more then happy to help

    I have already made sure places.sqlite is not "read-only." Can someone help please? Very frustrated.

    Did you try to remove all places files?
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Why does synch of my iPod touch takes far longer than before iOS 5?

    Synching of iPod before introduction of iCloud never took more than a few minutes and during the process iTunes reported how many photos or songs were being added or deleted based on what had changed on the iPhoto and iTunes libraries since the last synch event.
    Now the synch process begins with a major "backup" effort and then lengthy processes in which it is not visible if or which photos or songs are being added or deleted.  The process takes up to an hour and I have been forced on more than one occasion to RESTORE the iPod in order to get the synch to work at all.
    I carry my entire iPhoto library (about 20'000 photos, excl videos) and iTunes library (7500 songs) on the 64 GB iPod, for which there is plenty of space.  Why is synchronization no longer just the incremental process it originally was and now consumes far too much time?

    I think it's normal...but you can try to do it again.

  • Why does support package SAPKH60014 15 & 16 take so long (ECC 6.0)?

    I've been running these three items in a que for 2days.  I don't see any errors in the morning, but maybe because I can't see the errors?
    I thihk that 14 & 15 have completed and now running on 16
    Has anyone implemented and had similar experience?
    ECC 6.0 on Win 2003 SQL 2005 , 64bit OS , Unicode....
    Thank you in advance

    > in the import steps section there is an indication for table conversion with error code 012, however the next entry indicates that
    > 'Feedback after export or import successfull'
    Some phases run a few times - dependencies between tables make that necessary. As long as the main returncode is fine the import is correctly done.

  • Why does publishing in 1.0.1 take so long?

    I updated some pages tonight, the first time I've used iWeb since upgrading to 1.0.1, and it is taking an excruciating long time to publish. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    I read today on mac.com that 1.01 updated the directory which iweb publishes - to simplify the address. Because of this, the entire site needs to be republished. It took me 15-20 attempts before mine worked. Now everything seems to be fine.

  • HT4889 Why does ethernet Mac-to-Mac transfer take so long?

    I have a 2006 MacBook Pro/120Gig HD with OS 10.5.8 and want to use Migration Assistant to load my new MacBook Pro Retina via ethernet cable.  Migration Assistant says the time to transfer is 21 hrs!  That seems excessive. 
    Joe

    That may have more to do with the CPU and disk speed on your old MacBoo Pro than with the ethernet speed.

  • Looking to find out why icons appear for only certain bookmarks and how to replace the dashed rectangle with a valid icon in those cases.

    As the question explains, some of the icons for visited sites appear only as a dashed rectangle. There are several bookmarks that have been successfully imported from an html file and a few of them have no icon showing on the Firefox toolbar or bookmark list yet they did on the original browser where they wre imported from. Typically, the icons will "fill in" when each of the imported sites are visited some some do not regardless of how many times visited.
    I have checked to make sure that the fonts and colors are being selected by the site/server so that is not the problem.
    Although it is a somewhat cosmetic feature (navigation works fine, just no icons), the icons make site recognition much faster visually, making browser that much faster and easier on the eye.
    Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated for a "second-time-around" Firefox user.

    The reloader did the trick! Not sure why it took the add-on to get the correct favicon but problem solved, easily and quickly. I'll be sure to recommend the Firefox/Mozilla Support Forum to friends that use the browser. Thanks!

  • Why does my computer (Mac OS X 10.6.8) shuts down every time I open Lightroom 4.2 ?

    Thought the computer had a problem, had it checked, spent 250usd on some spare part, which probally didn't need to have been changed. I'm very disappointed with Lightroom.

    I dunno the extent to which your computer was "checked" (it needs more than ventilator inspection...).
    At a minimum, run a thorough:
    * disk check
    * ram check
    Have you ever had Lightroom running well on this (or any other) machine?
    PS - There are a lot of people in this forum who are willing to help, but you gotta hold up your end of the deal:
    * Try things, *and* report results (screen-shots or video can be worth thousands of words).
    * Answer all questions fully (e.g. "into a freshly created catalog?")
    Warning: I may bow out at any time and let somebody else take a crack, or not... so, hope you don't think it rude - you have been "notified"...
    Also - have you tried Adobe Technical Support? - don't expect the Lr engineers on the other end of the line, but they have a wealth of resources to draw from, and they are well-trained to get installation and basic functionality working...
    Good luck,
    Rob
