• ALL THE ICONS ARE MISSING IN THE OLD AND THE NEW BOOKMARKS... Help! WIN XP FF 15

  Not only did I lose all bookmarks in the last 5 days, something happened where ALL old bookmarks - and those that I added today are all missing icons.

  The 'old' were in a json file which was a backup. When back FF-no more icons! I tried to make an HTML version of the JSON file, but it has a MOZILLA icon on it and it does not work when I try to use it.

  All they have is a white square dotted autour.

  All NEW bookmarks have NO icons... I don't understand.

  I have WIN XP and Firefox 15.

  I'm NOT techie so any solution please be simple and progressive.

  Is it you LIKE IT IS possible to fix this?

  First of all, make sure that you have bookmarks you make backups and put somewhere safe outside the paths of Firefox (the Windows desktop will do for now) in fact I strongly advice you go further and save the profile Firefox everything at once. See

  • Backup and restore Firefox profiles information
  • Restore backup bookmarks or move them to another computer

  The immediate priority is securing all bookmarks that you have. It is important to realize that restore bookmarks wiped out existing bookmarks stored internally, and that internal backups of Firefox can cover only a few days.

  You can see the icons come if when you visit a site to bookmark, you click first to unbookmark star and then new bookmark. This isn't a good workaround solution, but at least he is safe and not endanger all bookmarks stored.

  Make backups, then we will try more far from solving the problem of the missing icons.

• All the icons are covered by the icon of the file.

  I've looked everywhere and can't find answers.  All my desktop icons have the icon of file on top of them. I tried to find the Iconfilecache and delete it and then restart.  It works for a brief second and then they are back. I even unchecked the box "Backup status overlays" in my Norton 360... restart later.  I am running Windows 7.  Help! They are driving me crazy and my wife hates!  Can anyone help?

  Suggestions:

  1 rebuild the icon cache
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html
  Note: use an easier Option.

  2. (if you can), do a system restore. Choose the date where you did not have this problem as your restore point.

• How do I know if all the fonts are missing after packing?

  Hello

  Last week, I packed my InDesign files and sent to the printer, and he reported that he was missing a few fonts.

  I found the fonts (it seems that I have about three files of fonts, to various libraries, including, moreover, a folder of fonts in my InDesign file which did not have a single melting inside!) and sent to them and that was very good.  Re-packed and it seems another two fonts are "missing".  Well I found them too in a Microsoft folder (also in Office for Mac 2015)... so that's very good.  But my question is this:

  When I packed up the last time, I checked carefully to see if there is any lack of links, or any other problem.  And I didn't say that there is something to all the missing.  "0 errors", is what he says.  It is only when the printer got the files that he has noticed.

  Is there a way for me to know, before you send the files packaged, anything missing?

  Thanks for any help,

  Malcolm

  If you use InDesign CC and the printer has a copy of InDesign CC, they can load the Typekit fonts that you use on their copy.

  However, no doubt they are just using this version as a backup, and if your PDF has been successfully created, they will print from that.

• roboform menu, bar and all the toolbars are missing after the Fierefox 5

  I've upgraded to Firefox 5 and couldn't get the Roboform toolbar. Then the menu bar went away. I tried to restore it with the Alt key, as has been suggested, that did not work. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox? I desperately need the Roboform and navigate. Thank you

  I had trouble with this too, but I found the answer.
  Download the addon from Lite RoboForm Password Manager. I thought that it worked only for the RoboForm everywhere, but it works for the ordinary too.

• In items 11 all my icons are missing on the expert tab in the bins of Panel, how can I get that back?

  I use Photoshop elements 11 and I'm wanting to add a few effects and graphics. I went to the expert tab and the Panel for the effect tray and graphics looks like that it does not load the icons/options, it's just empty. How can I get the location of the Panel to view graphics and effects options?

  Reach

  C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\11.0

  and remove the

  ThumbDatabase.db3

  Then go to

  C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\11.0\Locale\en_us

  and remove the

  MediaDatabase.db3

  Then, start the editor of photoshop elements 11 and wait until the effects database rebuilt, which could take some time, as 10 to 20 minutes, so just PES 11 idle so to speak until it ends.

  Hi ashwini_mahadev, I see that this is your first post here. Welcome to our community!

  There are several ways to solve this problem.  Here's what I recommend to try:

  1. Try to repair the association by downloading and running these files:
     Fix LNK (shortcut) file Associations
     and
     Fix EXE file associations

     After you download and run these two links, try using your files again.

  2. If the problem persists, I would recommend you to restore your system to before that was the problem by going back to just before the problem started.  Windows converts this easy and safe. Here's how:
     1. Press + R to display the race.
     2. Type RSTRUI and then press OK.
     3. Choose the date and time you want to restore (it will also tell you the names of all the programs that have been installed at this time).
     4. Click next to restore your system at that time here.

  The best part about this, is that it is completely safe. If you don't like the food, you can cancel it.  Or you can try again with a different date.  It will not affect one of your personal files/images, it restores only the system return settings to their operational status.  If that's really the way the faster, safer and easier to get "back in the market".
