Can't create a sync account

Firefox sync was not working correctly on my laptop so I decided to delete my old account and start fresh, after trying everything I could think of to fix the problem. However, now I can't create a new account, be it with my old e-mail address or a new one. I keep getting 'Unknown Error' when trying to create a new sync account.

I'm not sure that my current profile has anything to do with it--have just tried creating a new account on a desktop that was not connected to my previous sync account.

  • Unable to create a sync account

    I can't create a Sync account. I have never had one and am trying to set one up so that I may sync my firefox with my android. I have followed the instructions to set one up but when I push the finish button, I don't get a window that says setup complete. I have tried several times.

    You're welcome
    Did you find the cause?
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Welcome to the Apple Community Joe.
    There is nothing stopping you doing so, but you won't be able to sync anything between them.

    Thanks for responding and answering my question. If we decided to use my wife's icloud account as our primary, is there a way to "not sync" the incoming email with her iphone and ipad? That would simplify things greatly because she doesn't read any of her email on her iphone or ipad.
    If you don't want to sync the iCloud email account on her devices, all you would need to do is go to Settings>iCloud on her devices and turn Mail off.  This would remove the email account from her devices but would leave any other iCloud syncing services that you want to use with the account in place.

  • I do not have any IOS device!!! So how can i create an icloud account

    How can I create a il=cloud account if i don"t have and IOS device. How does that actually work???

    You can only create an iCloud account on a device with iOS 5, or a Mac with OS X Lion.
    The whole point of iCloud is to sync your iOS devices with your computer...

  • I created a sync account in 2012 and synced it periodically. In January 2014, my hardrive was reset- how do I pull in my synced info/acct on reset pc?

    I created a sync account in June 2012 and synced it periodically. In early January 2014, I was having some pc issues so I backed up all my data on my pc and dropped it off to Best Buy/Geek Squads. My pc has been repaired and returned back to me today. However, it has been reset to factory settings, which meant I had to reinstall Firefox. Of course I no longer had my original recovery key so I had to choose the "no longer have my device" option so that I could recover the recovery key code. So now I am trying to pull in my synced data from the synced Firefox account and I see nothing. I know I am not doing something right. I am not trying to sync on a second device- it is technically the same device. I am just trying to pull in what was previously synced. I feel like a lot of the other forums are for pairing. It's almost as if once I logged into my Firefox account today and recovered the code- like there is a new account. I need to access my bookmarks- they are very important. Thanks!

    Does your backup contain your entire old Firefox profile folder? This is a hidden folder under
    C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    To ensure that you can view the full contents of your backup, you may need to turn on viewing of hidden files. This article has the steps: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files].
    If you find the folder, one option would be to set it up as a second profile on your new installation of Firefox to access the old information. That's probably easier than fishing around among the files if it works.

  • Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

    Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

    You need an iTunes card.
    You can setup an account without a credit card if that helps.

    I found this in the iTunes help menu.
    Redeem an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or Gift Card
    If you received an iTunes Store allowance, gift certificate, iTunes Gift Card, or promotional code, you can use it to buy songs, videos, or audiobooks from the iTunes Store.
    You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
    Before redeeming anything, make sure you are signed into the iTunes Store (choose Store > Sign In, or select Sign In from the navigation bar at the top of the iTunes Store window):
    I don't see any mention of App Store cards.

  • HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

  • I have multiple phones on the same itunes account but now we can see everyones imessages.  Can I create a new account for imessaging?

    I have multiple phones that share an apple ID for music.  The problem is that when we use imessaging we see eachothers messages.  Can I create a separate account solely for imessaging so private messages can be sent but keep the same itunes account and continue sharing music?

    Yes.

    i have an apple id and am trying to create an icloud account however my phone is not allowing me and saying that the number of free attempts have been exceeded even though this is my first attempt. how can i create an icloud account?

    Are you sure the message isn't saying that the maximum number of accounts have already been created?  When you get this message you will not be able to create another account on that device.  Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account using a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.
