Find bookmarks, HD off laptop (where, what file)
Laptop fried, (has no hard drive)... try to find bookmarks & such on hard drive, I found the file places.sqlite... What do I do with it? TNX
On Windows XP, you can find the Firefox profile folder in this location:
- C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > < profile > \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
The folder "AppData" in Windows Vista and later versions of window 7 + and the folder "Application Data" in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.
You can copy files that store the specific data that you want to restore in the current profile with Firefox closed.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
To bookmarks that would be places.sqlite or if there is a problem with this file and then restore a compressed backup of .jsonlz4 in the folder bookmarkbackups.

I do a lot of work on the web and I have a ton of bookmarks that I use to maintain sites. I lost all!
I tried to install a new copy of the program and restore the file Mozilla from the library to the user (in time machine), but all I have is a white space where was the bookmarks bar! I also have a problem trying to re-enter manually all bookmarks. I can open the bookmark drop down, but I can't save all bookmarks. Firefox don't mark all new pages. I still all the passwords in the preferences if I don't want to install a new copy of the program and lose these.
Are there other system files that Firefox uses that I can restore the backup to solve the problem?
I have a Mac Pro and I am OSX 10.6.4
I have used Firefox for years and never had a problem before.
Can anyone help - please?This may be a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

I want to have the same bookmarks on my laptop and Tower pc, I can work on one when the other is off? Wil they be updated when I pass usage.
Thank youYes. You can just connect your two computers for synchronization, and no matter if it is off or on, as long as they both downloaded their data for synchronization of servers, you can access it regardless of what machines are turned off at the time.

Original title: registry exe problem
I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file. This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?
Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-remove-a-computer-virus
Moderator Forum Keith has a few suggestions along this line to
If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I have a file named "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 gb and another folder called 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' i.e. 4.95 GB, but then I have also on the 160 other photo and video files in the same folder. But in my Photos app, it says that I have 6 260 'elements '.
The pictures that you have imported into the photo library are, by default, stored inside the package (not file) "Library.photoslibrary Photos" in your pictures folder. The 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' package would contain photos that have been stored in your library, iPhoto at the time of the migration.
The other files in the pictures folder are that: other files. Also, they can be in libraries if you imported and has not deleted the copies lying around in the images.

Where can I find a linke for the the help file for process Explorer 14.01? Thank you.
If you have problems to access using Process Explorer, it's probably because you do not it unlock after the download.
The best way to do this is to go to the folder where the zip file downloaded, right click the zip file and select Properties. Then click on the button unlock and apply them. Go to the excerpt from Process Explorer.

My problem is similar to the question asked by EamonnO. Start a 'open with' screen opens asking what file to open chkupd with. I think that hit "Cancel" would put an end to the action. He appears periodically during my session on the computer or watching a movie. I don't find the file using search. I don't think that this means Daemon Tools because I never downloaded the program. Some recent downloads include "Free File Viewer" and "Search for free Extension". I have Vipre AV and System Mechanic running on my computer. The situation may be harmless, but it is sure agrivating. Thanks for any help you offer. George
Hello
I had the same problem and there to remedy I just open the control panel and open then "Add / Remove programs. The popup is apparently caused by a free File Viewer program. I removed the program by clicking on the button Delete and the problem disappeared. The free file viewer comes with a conversion program free .mp3 and seems to be completely unnecessary (I never needed the viewer of the file and open it with popup that was originally was boring and sometimes even nervewracking.) If you do not have to uninstall programs of assistance, just the viewer of the file that comes as a free supplement program (problem).
Once again, removal procedure: click on 'start '.
Click on "Control Panel."
Double click on "Add or remove programs".
Click on "Free File Viewer" in the list of programs
Click 'delete '.After this, the 'chkupd' open with popup when it stops appearing.

When I close my laptop running 2 files and when I do the closing and after that I open the screen is white... what I need to do?
Hello
Let us try these methods and check if that helps.
Method 1.
You can try the last good known Configuration and check if that helps.
Using the last good known Configuration: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/using-last-known-good-configuration
Method 2.
You can use the restore points for Windows 7 to return to a previous state, when your computer was working properly.
System Restore: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/system-restore
Important: System Restore will return all system files not as documents, email, music, etc., to a previous state. These files of types are completely affected by the restoration of the system. If it was your intention with this tool to recover a deleted file to non-system, try using a file instead of system restore recovery program.
Let us know if you need assistance with any Windows problem. We will be happy to help you.
