Cannot restore bookmarks

Version 3.6.17 last night I noticed that a particular section of bookmark, I use a lot was missing so I tried to restore the bookmarks of a day old backup Firefox has automatically done for me. I got the error "Failed to process the backup file." So I tried each of the 4 other files listed backup, which produces the same error. The manual backup I have is a few months old if I'd prefer restore a recent backup. Is there a way to make one of these json backup work files? Today, I reinstalled FF with the same result. If I can not restore one of these files, then is there a way to import only the part of the saved exported bookmarks I need instead of importing all the old bookmarks file? Thank you, Jerry

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

    Hello. Yesterday I updated my Firefox, and it did not import my favorites. I've saved in JSON format.

    iPhone 6s more stuck in the mode of the brick after downloading ios10. Cannot restore via iTunes. error 3014

    After the update to ios10, my 5s iPhone seems to work very well. I reconnected it to iTunes and then it bricked, and I panicked.

    iTunes synced a couple of times, it took about an hour and a half for me. After that it stopped its cycle of synchronization, I unplugged my iPhone - it still bricked. I then did a hard reset and it worked.

    Maybe I got lucky, maybe my iPhone and iTunes need a kick in their buttocks.

  • Cannot restore from a backup

    I cannot restore from a backup and don't know why.

    I have a Crucial SSD of BX100 in my mid 2010 MacBook Pro. It is divided into two partitions. I got Snow Leopard on a partition and Yosemite on the other. For some reason any I've never understood the Snow Leopard guarded beachballing partition. This happened if often that I decided to wipe the disk and reinstall from my backup, do it before the beachballing began to occur.

    But I can't restore. I wiped the drive of a Snow Leopard system, repaired and reformatted. The drive is not Core Storage, this is Mac OS extended (journaled). When I try to restore the restore on it works for about two minutes and then stops. Finally, I get a message saying that the disc has been ejected incorrectly.

    I noticed that when I receive information on the drive, an element appears different from other readers and which corresponds to the element, owners enabled: no each other drive I've seen says owners enabled: Yes. Is it all just because there is no system on the partition?

    Also "ignore ownership on this Volume" must be checked or unchecked?

    Suggestions welcomed, I am baffled by this.

    Snow Leopard erase and install

    1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
    2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
    3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
    4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of sheets to (1) on the menu drop down. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
    5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
    6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
    7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
    8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.
  • Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1

    Hello

    Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1.

    I followed the steps below:

    (1) all bookmarks in Safari to export to a file (file-> export bookmarks) HTML
    (2) import bookmarks into Firefox (bookmarks-> Show all bookmarks-> import and backup-> import bookmarks in HTML)

    Firefox seems to load the HTML file, but never bookmarks appear in Firefox.

    Any thoughts of why this is happening?

    Best,

    Jaime. -.

    You need to remove all the attributes of FOLDED into H3 tags with a text editor.

    Then the import should work.

  • Cannot restore the backup to iCloud. Stuck on "remaining time: estimate.

    I bought an iPhone 6s a month ago. Saturday, the screen is dead - they said it was a bad card, so they gave me a new. Initially, the restoration of iCloud seemed to work very well, but some of my app data has not loaded up. These data are really important to me, so I thought I could restore the device again and see if it would transfer the data. Now it is stuck on "remaining time: estimated...» "FOREVER.

    I tried the hard reset a dozen times. I tried to restore back to factory settings. I tried to load the old backups. No matter how long I leave Restoration - I left it all night - I I found with the message "cannot restore backup iCloud," no matter what backup I use. I talked to Apple Care. No one can understand why it does not work. The guy at the Genius Bar said it might have to do with the fact that my carrier settings were not switched correctly when they gave me the new device. He has updated and was told to wait another day and try again. I did this. It STILL gets stuck on screen and didn't budge!

    What could possibly go wrong? Why does a job the first time and now this? The only thing I can think is that it is a problem of iCloud... So frustrating! Help, please!
