• My computer crashed and it restarted I asked me to refresh Firefox. I have now lost all my favorites etc. There is no 'old Firefox data' folder - help!

  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.

• Why have I lost all CD imported from my iTunes library

  I lost all my imported CDs and all the selections of my iTunes library painstakingly compiled over the years of effort. More than 110 GB of music disappeared from one day to the next day when I upgraded the software at the end of 2015. How can I get these without restarting the whole process again? The only thing left in my library is the purchased Playlist. Can someone help, please? Thank you.

  On some occasions, your iTunes library database may be affected by an iTunes update - nobody seems to know exactly why, although its been suggested that it would be the result of a conflict between the installation of iTunes and some anti-virus software program or other processes that monitor changes to files on your computer (for example the Windows Indexing service').  The content of your library, i.e. the media files and folders should be affected, but without a database iTunes file doesn't have information or links to these files.

  To restore your library to a working state (which may not be necessarily as it was immediately before installing the update) see user turingtest2 on the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library.  For later use, you must create and maintain a backup of your library iTunes, and always update your backup before installing the iTunes update.  For a suitable and recommended method, see backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library .

• Why have I lost all my work?

  I'm relatively new to Illustrator. Last night, I lost about 8 hours worth of work I put in a project of Illustrator, and I have no idea why. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the situation.

  
  At one point yesterday morning, I recorded my project in PDF format so that I could share it with someone. I continued to work on the file and kept saving my Illustrator project that I worked. At the end of the day, I closed my project. When I tried to reopen this morning, all my changes disappeared. Even more strange, the only version of the Illustrator file I have is a version even older than what I had saved in PDF format. And still more strangely, I got a PDF of my final working copy, but no version of Illustrator of it. Note that I have never created a PDF version of the book that I did at the end of the day. So technically the PDF file I have on my system should have only one I sent earlier in the day.
  
  What possibly could happen here? I'm a little upset that I lost 8 working hours. But more important, I want to know what I did so that I wouldn't do it again.

  Thanks for your help!

  GS,

  For safety, you always save a copy in PDF of Ouedraogo and stay at Illy, or save normally before save you to PDF and then close the document in order to avoid this trap.

  You saved the file PDF without having checked preserve Illustrator editing functions, which means that the document is only saved in the possibly simplified PDF version.

  Save as PDF with preserve Illustrator editing capabilities ticked, or save as to create a PDF Compatible is TICKING, you actually save two files complete, an AI and a single PDF.

  You can recreate the document HAVE entirely or partially of the PDF, according to the work, by opening it to Illy and maybe redo parts. Some aspects of the work are the same, some are simplified in the PDF file.

• Why have I lost all my data on my computer?

  I ran windows update and when I restarted my computer all my personal desktop icons disappeared and my favorites list has disappeared.

  Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

  Restore point:

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

• Updated to iOS 9.3.4 and lost all my favorites across all my devices, iPhone and iPad

  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,

  Thanks for checking out the communities Support from Apple! I understand that you are having problems with Safari bookmarks that were deleted on your devices. All the time, I use bookmarks for quick access to my frequently visited websites so I can understand wanting to make sure that you have access to your. I am pleased to provide you with advice for you.

  Even if bookmarks have been deleted accidentally, you should be able to recover them with these steps.

• 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

  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.

• Why have I lost 400 emails.

  Why have I lost 400 emails.  Last night I had about 523 emails.  Before my eyes, it changed to 123.  What happedned where they went.  They were emails that I haven't read.  They could be important.  That's happened?  How to make a comeback.  Where did they go?  It was in outlook express.

  OE reviews | Current view | Show all messages (check/enable)

  Cautions general OE:

  N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

  -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

  -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More onhttp://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

  -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

  -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

• recovery of my favorites since explorer 7 when I down loaded explorer 8 I lost all my favorites I had saved?

  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.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!

• Restored Firefox with extensions disabled. Have I lost all my extensions?

  So I was testing my Firefox with extensions disabled when I clicked on 'Restore Firefox' by mistake. Have I lost all my extensions because of this? Apparently I still have my passwords, history and even cookies, but I got a lot of extensions that are now gone.

  Is it possible to recover?

  The extensions are removed during the update. Check the 'old data Firefox' that has been placed on the desktop.

  More information about the update is here.

• Why did I lost all of my boxes in Yahoo mail?

  Hello, recently my Yahoo Mail went bonkers and I lost all of my boxes. You know the ones that I would use to check what emails I would delete etc, etc. It looks good on my other computers and on this computer through Google chrome.

  Have you noticed any other oddities on Yahoo mail, such as cans of high with two rows of two characters? This can occur when the site requires a downloadable font for its icons and you block that by using these settings:

  (1) in the dialog box fonts Advanced, unchecking the checkbox which allows the site to use its own choice of fonts. To check that:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > content > button "Advanced".

  Here you must "allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  (2) on the deactivation of fonts downloaded in: config. It's less likely, or you remember probably not, but here's how to check on it.

  • In a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
  • In the search box at the top of the list, type or paste the gfx and make a pause so that the list is filtered
  • If gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled preference is bold and user, set false, double-click it to return it true.

  This seems useful.

• 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.
