Can't sync from server on new install

so i probably should have read more into this firefox sync thing....instead of trying to save a bookmark file anywhere when migrating to a fresh new install of linux, i just figured i would set up this sync account (had never used it before today), let it upload to the mozilla servers, and assume i could just load it all back up on my new install.
well here i am, now realizing that i needed a recovery key before i deleted my old install/partition.
when i try to to get a recovery key after entering my login info, it says that any previous data on the server will be erased if i am to get a new recovery key...am i hooped for trying to get all my bookmarks & logins/passwords that i thought i had securely added to the mozilla server earlier today?

The Recovery Key is used to encrypt your data as it is uploaded to the Sync server, and to decrypt your data as it is downloaded onto your devices. Without that "key" your data is useless.
The new version of Sync which is being developed for Firefox 29 does away with the Recovery Key.

  • HT201269 Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.

    Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.

    - The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
    - What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

  • I set up sync right before a new install of windows 7. I cannot get my sync to set up properly.

    I had signed up and set up sync right before a new install of windows 7. I made sure Firefox stated the data was sent to the server before letting IT take over(company policy). I had made sure I used the sync code input on my PC from my Iphone before hand.
    I now cannot get my data from the server. Incorrect Sync code is primary. Each device is telling me to add the other device in the event my sync code is not working correctly.

    Your 1st message also said "check available space"
    I don't use SSD drives, but my C drive has Win7 64bit Pro + CS5 Master Collection + MS Office Pro + "misc" small programs and files + all my MS Office documents in My Documents folder... and I use 71Gig
    Your 120Gig SSD should be plenty large... EXCEPT... I have NO IDEA how much space is used for temporary files during download + install
    Otherwise, you may need to contact Adobe chat... Next link has a "Chat Now" button near the bottom

  • Can you sync from iPhone to PC?

    Can you sync from iPhone 3GS to PC, instead of the other way 'round?

    The syncing of iTunes content is a one way transfer process only - from iTunes on your computer, or from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after purchasing/downloading music, video, or 3rd party apps with your iPhone.
    iTunes content is not kept synchronized but is part of the iTunes sync/transfer process. Photos transferred from your compute to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process are not kept synchronized either. The transfer of photos is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.
    The only bi-directional or true sync process is for contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on your computer. The same for notes if you are using a supported application on your computer for syncing notes.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. You can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as photos, documents, etc. All iTunes content is stored in an iTunes named folder. With iTunes quit on your new computer, place the copy of the iTunes named folder from your old computer in the appropriate location for access by iTunes on your new computer. You will also need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only. First you need to authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device or as a storage device to transfer data from one computer to another.

  • ITunes was on a drive destroyed by virus; how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D
    Source:... This is what I did when this EXACT thing happened to me ;D

  • HT4623 my iphone is disabled and locked but my computer had died and I need to sync it to open it. Can I sync it on a new computer

    my iphone is disabled and locked due to my 2 year old pressing too many numbers on my lock screen, but my computer had died and I need to sync it to open it and use my phone. Can I sync it on a new computer, or how can I get it to work and open again as I have text messages and EVERYTHING on my phone I need.

    Sorry, just getting back. Since it is a used phone, you may have to contact the prior owner to see if they cleared their Apple ID and passcode. You could not force it into recovery mode? It sounds like it is still locked with someone's passcode. This may not help but I will link it here anyway: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    Go to to your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in the Finder and then enter  Time Machine.  Go back to the last backup that has the domain file, select it and use the Restore button.

  • HT1206 Can I sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" Itunes or should I just set up a new Itunes account on her computer???

    I just tried to sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" ITunes.  Bad mistake!!  I guess "my" itunes thought her phone was mine and "somehow" went into "restore" mode and basically turned "her" phone into mine - ie. contacts, photos, etc.
    Can your have two phones one Itunes??  Or should I just open a new Itunes account on her computer and "start" from scratch??  If I do the later, how do I transfer all the music on "my" Itunes to hers???

    You can sync as many iphone/ipads/ipods as you like to one computer/library.

  • I was on a trip and downloaded some tunes on my notebook.  i then wanted to sync them to my Imac at home, but can nnot find a cable hook up ..nor can i seem to do it through the wireless network...how can I sync from the notebook itunes with the imac at h

    I was on a trip and I downloaded some tunes on my notebook. 
    At home now, and I am trying to sync the notebook itunes new songs to my Imac, so I do not have to open both computers in the 'shared library' section every time I want to hear a song that I bought last week on the notebook.  I simply want to dump my new tunes on my imac and play them from there.  Is there a cable I am missing, how do I connect both computers?
    I can not imagine a world where I can buy the music on the notebook, but I can not transfer it on my Imac???!!!
    Suggestions please!
    Thanks everyone,
    Adie Elliott

    There are several ways. iCloud is partially live, at least in the US, so if you are in the US and have the latest version of iTunes on your home computer, start up iTunes, click on the Store button in the list on the left side of the screen, and on the right side of the iTunes store screen look for Purchased (there will be an orange New! tag next to it). You can (re)download any songs you've bought from your account on any authorized device you own. IOW, buy with your iPad, download later with your iMac if you don't feel like syncing with your iPad.
    If you have a wireless network at home you can using filesharing to connect the two computers and copy the songs from the notebook to the desktop. My wife has a corporate DropBox account and she just copies her new songs into the DropBox and grabs them when she's at home. I have a history of forgetting that I've downloaded songs on my notebook or at work so I always immediately copy them to my flash drive. So there you go - lots of ways to do what you want.

  • My old computer crashed completly. I have a new computer now. It is a HP with internet 8 on it. I downloaded itunes but can not sync itunes to the new computer. Every time I try I get a warning that if i proceed then all my stuff on the phone will erased.

    I recently bought a new computer becouse my old computer crashed. Now I can not sync my itunes account. I get an error when I try. It says that itunes will erase my phone content and replace with what is on the phone. I do not want to lose all my stuff so what do I do?

    This is how it works.
    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Can I sync from iPad to a Mac as hard drive crashed and data lost

    My iMac hard drive crashed and the data cannot be recovered. Can I sync the iTunes data on my iPad or iPhone back onto the new hard drive?

    You should be able to recover data that is in the backup. That does not included some items like music. See the following for what is in the backup:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    First in iTunes preferences check the box for prevent automatic syncing when a device is connected.
    They connect your iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases to the computer. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    Then right click on the iPad listed under Devices in the left hand side and click on "Back Up". After backup is complete I think you will have to restore the iPad from backup to complete the process of using your iPad to the "new" computer.

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to your new computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
    To retrieve photos from an iPod try:
