during an update lots of my profile folder has been put in a folder on the desktop marked the old data. How to restore this data file
During a bet to update, automatic update of windows has started and some how much my profile data has been removed and stored in a file on the desktop. There is a simple and easy way to restore this folder from the current firefox?
You can use the contents of the Old Firefox Data folder to "roll back" the refresh, but this involves several steps. It's probably even faster than the recovery of individual files and load those into your new profile.
Check in the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds a folder with a random semi name on your desktop. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.
Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:
Overview
Here are the steps described in more detail below:
- Create a new Firefox profile
- Delete all of this profile folder
- Copy in all of the old profile folder
Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)
Exit Firefox completely and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following in the Windows search, or the Run dialog box by pressing ENTER:
firefox.exe -P
Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.
Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.
Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer
Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
- Menu help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
- (menu bar) File > Exit
Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.
Copy old data instead of new
In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).
Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).
Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.
Launch Firefox
Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?

My attempt to update iPhoto which presents in the folder utility as having been obtained from Apple on the 19/04/13 is rejected w/notice that the update is not available for this Apple ID because it has been purchased by another user. How can I get the update?
There are some inconsistencies in your question:
1. If you do not have 10.11.4 then you can not possible be eager to download iPhoto 9.4.3 because it does not work on El Capitan. You'll need iPhoto 9.6.1.
2 - If you get the message that iPhoto was bought under another Apple ID then he leads us to ask if you have purchased your new iMac or used? Try to go on the App Store, sign out and then sign in with your Apple ID and see if you get the same message.
We are just so not the same page what system are you running? What version of iPhoto do you currently have? Have you bought the new iMac or used?

to delete the update number 2 after the new update has been entered IE number 6 of the same program
original title: he is allowed to delete the previous updates of filesHi Carl,
I suggest you go through this article to Java which can be useful.
Why should I remove old versions of Java in my system?
Removal of previous versions of the .net Framework is based on the applications that are running on the computer.
For applications, if you have an application based on any .NET Framework on the computer, you cannot delete it since you have need to support the application runs correctly.
.NET framework 3.5 SP1 includes .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2. This means that .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 can not be deleted because they are the sine qua non of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. If you have any application based on .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, please do not remove .NET 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1.
I would also not to uninstall the security updates that are important for the security of your computer.

Assuming that your spelling is correct, your computer is probably infected by malicious software. Download, update and perform a quick scan with Malwarebytes.
