Lost all my favorites after my dept IT messed with my computer.
I came this morning and my computer was in place. My Department I.T. staff has spent an hour playing with my computer, and when I got back on my machine, it failed to Mozilla Firefox. They came back and restored to Mozilla, but they lost my favorites and replaced by very old favorites of IE. I don't use IE except when it is required for some programs, if bookmarks are extremely outdated.
How can I return my favorites? I tried all the difficulties that I can find online, but I can't find an archived date before today. Am I missing something somewhere?
I searched the Windows Explorer for all files with the word in them bookmarks. I found my last automated backup from Friday and was able to restore my old favorites. Main problem is trying to find with the instructions found on the Internet, my I.T. Department has disabled being able to find files in AppData. When I found the Friday backup, I copied to my desktop and was able to restore from my office.
I have found a workaround which my I.T. team has setup to keep staff to fix their own problems.

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.

The iOS to day of the week on my iPad Air last and he immediately lost all my favorites. I have 2 other devices on my account an iPhone 5 and an older iPad. These devices updated afterwards and had bookmarks until updates occurred. Later devices only updated when I went to look at the bookmarks they appeared for a few seconds and they disappeared. All devices have no bookmarks. Cannot find information on this question - anyone have this problem?
Hi DannoLaLa,

Hi, lost all my favorites... won't let me sign in the habit/recognize the password... will not send confirmation e-mail. WTF...
Please help, I just changed to Chrome and it's my first experience...
Do you know why your bookmarks have disappeared?
What the rest of the profile?
Look at your desktop. You see a folder called; Old Firefox?

My computer crashed (blue screen) and when it restarted a box came asking me to update Firefox. I clicked on OK (thought he was just trying to restore the session) and I have now lost all my favorites, passwords registered etc. There is no 'old Firefox data' folder anywhere on my system - help! is there a way I can get it all back without doing a system restore? I am running Windows 7.
Hi, you can try it for only bookmarks: first open the bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore and see if you have a backup there.
If not and the other favorites, please see.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

I am a bit tech-illiterate and I don't know what happened. I seem to have updated, but some how lost all my favorites. I tried to restore them but there is nothing for me to restore from. What should I do?
Do you mean that the current profile bookmarkbackups folder is empty?
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
You have an "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop?
If this is the case then you can try to restore the bookmarks from a backup in the folder bookmarkbackups.
You can see the order of the day are counted as part of the name of the file.- < number > _ < hash > .json bookmark-YYYY-MM-JJ_
You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

I lost all my favorites on my list when I downloaded the new exploere 8 How to get them back?
You can treat this as a situation of lost files (which is perhaps not the best solution - ask the experts posted below is the best solution but I present it in case you want to try).
If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky. They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake. http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.
If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/. Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.
In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help (try Recuva):
http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html
http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html
http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/restoration.html
http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/
http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/undeleteplus.html
http://www.Piriform.com/Recuva
http://www.munsoft.com/EasyDriveDataRecovery/
http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/
The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods). If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover. He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC. Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC. If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).
Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above). Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery. It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees. The decision is yours.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

Smartphones blackBerry lost all emails &; SMS after change of date
After that I updated my BB Bold 9000 date 6 July 2015 , I lost all received emails and text messages. It is amazing that this can happen without any warning. This certainly isn't the first time that I am losing all my data. It's so frustrating that I am strongly considering leaving BlackBerry and switch to another brand.
An assistance service, you can call and talk to a real person also seems to be not implemented to BlackBerry. Maybe they hate costomers?
Your comments are welcome.

You have a backup of the device, you need to do at least once a week?
My last backup is June 25, so fairly new
Let me know.
I am mainly interested to recover SMS lost - are. I have seen that it is possible to use back pointing up. How to recover SMS throughy this method? I don't see TEXT in the list.
Connect your BlackBerry to your PC via the USB cable.
Open Desktop Manager > backup/restore > advanced.
In the right pane, you will see your device data, in the left window, you will see your backup data. Do scroll through SMS messages and see if there's something there.
IF you do not see the backup data in the page on the left, above the pane, you choose file > open and navigate to your specified IPD backup file and open it.
In the left pane, navigate to the SMS database and highlight the
Click on the RIGHT facing arrow in the clear of the screen to move the data to the device.
Follow the remaining prompts to complete the process.

In a way you are right, although some understanding for the frustration when someone has lost all the data would be welcome.
Key. Don't come here to criticize the volunteers very well here, either. Check my 26 000 posts here and see how understanding I have for frustrated users. I have very little understanding for rudeness.
Karim says:
I can count tens of thousands of users who have been helped here.
It is excellent for those thousands, but is not strange is that a device needs a forum where thousands of users need to go to get help because they are lost or frustrated. The best provider is a provider that does not need a helpdesk because everything is clear. This seems to be impossible these days
Of course, it is not strange that there is a forum like this. You have quite a learning curve high on BlackBerry, and you have users. Combine the two and you have gobs of questions.
Karim says:
It is if you have a BlackBerry with Vodafone BIS data Plan. How do I know this?
Call your carrier and you ask if you have the BlackBerry BIS data Plan. They will know. It should be on your billing, as well.

Last update of developer edition has lost all my favorites and addons
I love Firefox! I use it exclusively. When I opened Aurora today (11.10.14) ALL my favorites and addons disappeared! Of course, I want back the way they were. How to achieve this?
Hi rudeann, sorry to hear that you have problems with the bookmarks. My heart stops if I see ALL of my favorites have disappeared. Fortunately, we can fix that.
I have an article in support of Firefox everything on here get these bookmarks. You have to take a look because what you do depends on how you put Firefox in place. It is if you use the normal Firefox and developer edition That's if you use just developer edition .
Take a look at the article that fits your situation and let me know what happens. Hope you find your Favorites quick return. Let me know if you have any questions or this does not work for you.
