Yesterday, I experienced an HD failure, had to reinstall Win 7 Ultimate, lost FF, Bookmarks, Downloads and everything, I am reinstalling, is there anyway to
To make a long story short I suffered a sudden HD failure. Alot of things, data, program files, desktop shortcuts were lost, included in this was my FF which I had just updated to the latest version. Gone are all my Bookmarks, Downloads, all the items , sites for my partipation in the Mozilla making the web what we want it to be. The drive I am sure is toast as the computer will not recognize it, and if I ttry to Boot with that drive, i goes for a while and then crashes indicitating it is unaccessible. Does anyone know of a way of possibility of recovering if nothing else my Bookmarks, Downloads, History and all the other lost stuff for FF and maybe my folder of downloaded programs, so maybe I will not have to redo all the research and sdearching for the bookmarks, identifying the software I don't mind do the reinstalls, but really frustrated with having to search again. I believe in backups, but didn't even get a chance to do that, and I think maybe this drive was what caused my External Seagate drive to fritz now indicating it must be reformated to be usable. This has not been a good month for data storage, give me
Fred Flinstone's stone tablets...LOL. I will appreciate any ideas, advice, suggestions.

Unless you made a backup of your Firefox profile files''' . . . . .'''
Were you able to restore the data from the old drive?

I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders. If I click on these question marks I get a message saying ' the item can't be found'.

Not sure where these hard disk folders are located that you are referring to? Finder, Finder tool bar, Finder side bar, Desktop, Dock?
More then likely they are an alias that not longer point to the orginals, thus the question mark.
I would reboot. Delete icons if an alias and just recreate by dragging from the source. Try right click (control) click to remove. -
Help with lost Droid MAXX. Lost it a week ago while I had it turned off, I cannot track it until it is turned on. Is there anyway to remotely turn on the device?
Have you tried randomly using Google - Device Manager? Though it will not track the Droid Maxx when it's turned off. It will show the last time the phone was turned on. To see if that coincides with the last time you had the phone on.

I lost my iPhone and so put it on lost mode. There I changed the password. Found it yesterday but was unable to unlock it. It is set on my apple id and everything.
Find My iPhone only keeps a history of locations after you put it in lost mode. It also has to be online to provide an updated location.

I need some help fast please!! i have had the iphone since august and have videos and pictures i need like 100% need, and today i downloaded music and plugged my phone into my computer. The phone synched and it did to the settings when the iphone 4 first came out last year, dating back to when i first had it on february 24th, 2011. I need to restore it back but everytime i try to do it through itunes it puts me back to the same settings, i hope someone knows how to fix this problem, i would greatly appreciate any help!!!!
Check here and see if you got an automatic backup when you pluuged into iTunes. (Fingers Crossed)
Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
If the recent backup is there, simply restore your phone from that backup. It sounds to me that instead of syncing the phone just by connecting it to the computer, you may have restored the phone to your ancient backup. No problem if you have the newer backup, but a huge problem if you don't have the recent backup.
If, in fact, you did restore the phone instead of getting a backup thru the (automatic) sync process, I'd strongly suggest getting the difference between the two straight in your mind.
My other suggestion would be to understand that your iPhone is "managed" thru iTunes. You need to connect the two whenever possible instead of using the charger. -
Hello,
I had my itunes on my pc. When it crashed I lost everything there. I have an itunes on the new mac but it does not have the content that was in the old itunes. When I try to sync or upgrade to the 5, it says that I will lose all my information on the phone.I had the same problem, and tried what you did. Then just uninstalled Quick Time and didn't reinstall as someone on here advised. Still did not open. Then ejected a disc I forgot I had inserted this morning to copy a song on to and iItunes opened.

how do u track an ipod touch when its connected to a wifi and how do u find out when its your stolen ipod touch is connected
If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing - the app is for tracking an iOS device from another iOS device - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Note, though, that you'll only get the location of the WiFi router to which the iPod is connected; there's no way to pinpoint the exact location of the iPod itself.
If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).

I downloaded the ibooks application on my ipad 2. It showed books in the library. It downloaded and charged me for 4 books I didn't order. How do I get a refund? Is there a phone number to call? And why did this happen?
Contact iTunes Store Customer Service.

I purchased an Ipod touch and when I tried to download 10.5, it stop loading and gave an error message, A program it needs to run is being used by another program. What will fix this problem. I am running Vista and this is my first time trying to download ITunes. The only Apple device that has been connected is my wife's I Phone 3G.
See:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
If you have Snow Leopard do not forget the Additional Information paragraph. -
Please Help!!!
I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Is there anyway that I can sync my iPad 2 to another computer without loosing all my data and apps?
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a thrid-party porgram like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced items like apps and music. -
Is there any way to recover my bookmarks?
You would probably have more chance of success if you try to undelete a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder. Places.sqlite s a binary file and can get quite large. A JSON backup is a text file and you can check its contents in a text editor.

Basically is there anyway to find my computer using the interweb? I don;t think I have any expensive software installed.
I'm afraid that Kappy's answer is rather complete on the subject. The Mac's wouldn't need the functionality of "Find My Mac", if there were alternate means available without it. Yes, there are alternatives to "Find My Mac", but all them reguire the user to setup the software for the device's ability to be tracked.
If there were another way to track a Mac without owner/user interaction, then the means would be considered a security flaw.
Even Find My Mac is not without issue. The unit's location can only be determined if the thief/possessor connnects the unit to the internet. Therefore, in addtion to being dependent on prior user setup, the thief himself must participate in a specific manner.
