Last updated has erased all the favourites and photos how to restore?
Today Thursday August 11 first thing this AM automatically a windows update took place. Once completed, the system did a restart and all the original settings were lost, all catalogued favorites were gone and all personal photos have disappeared as well. How to restore these items and how to prevent happening again?
Your help is appreciated with gratitude I am not tech savvy at all - it completely frustrates the heck out of me.
Thank you very much

You need not reinstall Lightroom in this case.
If you want to start over with an empty catalog, simply go to the file menu > new catalogue > name > choose Create > restart

I use Mac OS X Lion. I use Firefox for my research and organized many bookmarks into folders. All bookmarks disappeared after I've upgraded to version 11. I tried to find my profile as suggested in the forums and help documents, but I'm not. I have backups Time Machine of my entire system. Could someone please tell me what are the folders and/or files to restore to recover my favorites?

BlackBerry Smartphones accidentally hidden all the music and photos from my phone?
So I got my blackberry to my computer and I tried to download pictures of her. There was some hidden that I couldn't so I decided to look around and see if I could find them. I have the blackberry from the folder right click after I selected the device from my computer. I then in properties and accidentally selected option check box to see only the hidden, or something to that. Now when I look on the device, all files are gone including camera, music photo, everything is not a single folder, listed in the unit when it is connected to my computer. And therefore all the photos on my camera, even if not connected to my computer and music are lost. Please help me to retrieve all my music and photos that I stupidly lost.
On your computer you need to make sure it's set to show hidden files.

Last updated iPhone erased all my notes!
The last (pushed) iPhone update erased all my NOTES. How to recover?
Hi jmontalbano,
Looks after update of iOS, you're missing all your notes in the application Notes. I use my Notes app all the time. I'll be happy to help you with this.
The first thing I would ask you to check is to make sure that you are connected to iCloud on your iPhone and the Notes is turned on. Go to settings > iCloud > Notes.
If you are connected, if it please you then connect to iCloud from a computer and check to see if you see your notes listed in there. If see you them, please go back to the iPhone and sign on iCloud then restart the iPhone and then sign in iCloud and see if they start to load. If you have made a recent backup in iCloud or iTunes, you can also restore from a backup.

Firefox has lost all the tabs and bookmarks on startup.
Computer ran out of memory, I quit firefox because he did not like it usually does, and then when I restarted, all the Favorites have disappeared, the bookmarks bar is now empty and all the Add-ons have disappeared from the top of the browser, but not the background. However, all the Add-ons are still there, but not all work (e.g. further development of Reddit). I tried to restore the bookmarks or even import chrome, but this says it fails in the first case and terminates the process, but nothing happens in the second.
What is going on? I really don't want to switch to chrome after using firefox for more than 5 years.
You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

Delete all the images and Photos into folders, I create
OK, I can't leave the Photos to manage my pictures for anything other than editing. I have a backup hard drive which has thousands of photos I worked tirelessly to organize into folders that make sense to ME (as well as for my wife). Because of my organization, with any windows machine, it's easy for me to import them from my iPhone in a folder on the desktop, then the name or the tag and move these photos on this windows computer records, as well as on this hard drive. It is a breeze to find an image or an object with a lot of different pictures, I'm the one who ranked. It is a breeze to do a mass deletion, or a mass move if I decide to change the category of several images. However, with Photos, just try to move pushes to hell. Not to mention the fact that IF someone were to have access to my Mac without my permission, if they wanted to look at my pictures and videos on all of them would be in pictures to facilitate navigation. There are a lot of photo work that I don't want anyone other than myself, my wife and occasionally a customer that the photos are to have access to the as they may contain confidential information or even to design prototypes. WHY can't Apple let me manage my own photos? I'm not griping about photo editing features, I find them to be good for the most part. I want to just connect my iPhone and copy all the pictures out of it in my own folder structure and remove them from the phone. If I need to change the one I can still do from the phone or Photos if Photos then would allow me to remove this image pictures and put it back in my files. Please tell me that someone else out there has a similar desire and figured out how to do this...
WHY can't Apple let me manage my own photos?
No problem just don't do the - Photos is completely optional
Apple provides Photos for people who want a modern photo management with workflows without loss with database capabilities and the Image Capture (or do the PC way and use the finder) and listen to samples for those who don't want an up-to-date Digital Asset Manager like pictures and prefer to handle the files rather than photos - use either or any third-party solution you like best
But you can't do what you want with Photos - you must use the correct software for your personal desires and is not pictures

Downloaded the latest Windows 7 update yesterday, November 3, 2009 and lost all my "Favorites" in MSN. Also, when I do a reboot, the Verizon FIOS Media Manager starts. Only the downloaded last update - has nothing else. Please notify
Yes I have FIOS Media Manager installed, but I've done since the start of Windows 7. For the first week or so it does not start on my download restarts. It started with this Nov 3 update from Microsoft. I went to downloads and there were two of them; Update for Internet Explorer 8 for x 64 based and updated Windows Defender definition.
After you install these two updates on restart FIOS M.M. was live at startup and my favorite MSN have disappeared. I disabled FIOS M.M., but somehow, he has been activated with this download. I went on my drive external backup and recovered the Favorites but am always intrigued by this phenomenon and how it changed my registry.

Received phone call from someone who identified himself as a member of the Technical Support of the Windows team. Says my calculation had sent messages back saying that I had a virus. Was skeptical and didn't know how to check if it was legitimate then toldl him I would take care of him. Ran Norton Security and Windows security and both reported that my system do not have a virus. Noticed that Windows update was not the last 2 weeks so I tried to run the updates. I get a sayingi error message that FAILURE of installing up-to-date security for KB2656353 and KB2656370. I downloaded all the patches and recommended tools. What should I do?

I unflagged all the folders and files that I share on my home network, however, I am not able to rename them or save them on my PC from my laptop on my wireless network. This has happened since May 12 and I suspect an auto update changed or recover from something.
Running Vista Home Premium SP2 on PC
Laptop is Windows 7
Thanks for getting back to me Mick!
I did a restore to 5/10 when I had no problem, but the problem persisted.
I'll have to try Norton support. This may be something they did.
In the meantime, I managed to change the names of files by connecting to the PC with the account of my wife who as co-owner had equal rights and the sign of the laptop is its ID as well so it worked, but it isn't always fair.
Once again, thank you...

Roulette is displayed with all attempts to modify, even to move the limits of harvest or slide show. Cannot change anything in Lightroom without roulette appearing and wait for the application to work. It started immediately after the last update. Everyone knows the question?
Try to uncheck the option Preferences > General > display the Photos to add. According to the Lightroom Queen Victoria, this option can cause general slowth.
