Cannot access my sync account

I cannot access my sync account on any computer. I have tried to get it to send me the password so I can access it, but I never get the e-mail. Although I attempt to set up a new account in the event that I did not use that e-mail to set up my account and it says it is already in use. So I cannot access my account and I cannot create a new account with my current e-mail. I cannot move forward or backward here. Is my only option to go back to IE?

You are right. Sync's reset password feature is broken at the moment.
I found a bug where the issue is being tracked and as soon as a fix is posted there I'll update this post. It looks like the server that sends the emails is offline or having some other sort of technical issue. I can't say for sure b/c I don't work for Mozilla.
Anyway, even the Mozilla employees themselves are unable to get their password reset emails. So take comfort in knowing that you aren't the only one with this problem. :) As far as how soon you can expect a fix? I didn't see any timetable for that. I'll let you know if that changes.

  • Upon reinstalling Firefox, I cannot access my sync key-there is no "Manage Account"

    Once upon a time , after updating Firefox & before the treacherous AVG toolbar wreaked havoc- I had synced my new iTouch with Firefox.
    They were living happily ever after until the above mentioned treachery took place. The devastation left no alternative but to uninstall my beloved Firefox & reinstall.
    All went smoothly until... I tired to reunite my iTouch with it's long lost Firefox Sync.
    The Fairy Tale ending is in tatters as I write this (drat you AVG toolbar!)...
    simply put:
    - going to Tools->Options->Sync only allows me to Set Up Firefox Sync.
    - there is no Manage Account option.
    - which means I cannot access my sync key...
    After researching & failing to find a workable solution to this dilemma, I decided to set up a new account;
    it says '[email protected]' is already in use... it's a vicious circle...
    Can anyone help straighten this out so my Fairy Tale ends happily?

    I followed your advice- a plausible solution to be sure & one to finally reunite my iTouch & Firefox Sync...in fact, I've followed you advice several times over the last month as I continue to get the following Oops message:
    ''Oh dear.
    Looks like one of the dinosaurs escaped again. We keep them away from the data, so that should be safe.
    Please try again later when we've wrestled him back onto the treadmill.''
    Does anyone know when the escapee might be returned to his treadmill?

  • HT1338 I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Does anyone know a fix for this?

    I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Does anyone know a fix for this?

    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

  • I cannot access my email account

    I cannot access my email account
    It asks for my password when I put it in doesn't accept it
    How do I find what my password is

    This has to be resolved by your mail service provider. Call them and have them tell you how to create a new password and save it.

  • I Have 2 gmail accounts-i cannot access the 2nd account

    I cannot access the other account due to I get automatically signed in if I go to gmail--and only to that one account. I wish to have a log in with a password back, ability to get to my second account also password protected. I tried just entering in address bar but didnt work. I need to access both accounts since I use them frequently. I also have a business account I cannot access due to the same problem.

    Hi, first try opening your Gmail account, then sign out.
    If that doesn't do it, open Options (cog wheel) - in the 3-bar menu unless you've moved it, > Privacy tab, then Show Cookies, and remove any Gmail cookies. You can also try clearing the cache by, in Options > Advanced tab > Network tab > Cached Web Content > Clear Now.
    Hope that helps to resolve your problem.

  • I deleated Firefox 4 from my PPC machine, reloaded 3.6, and cannot access my Sync or replace the sync.

    I do not recall my sync password, and cannot replace my sync account. The Email is still in use by an account I cannot replace the password for.
    Is there any way to recover my original account?

    Has anyone figured out how to get it working again?

  • Didn't answer security questions, since update cannot access my itunes account with password

    Since we updated my mother's ipad, she cannot access her itunes account.  It wants her to answer two security questions, which we didn't do when we set it up.  Also I put in all the info and it didn't recognize her birthday, which I know we put in right when we set up her account.

  • Cannot access my itune account

    It says temporaraly unavailable

    Both. Because I cannot access my itunes account from my MacBook Pro, iTV cannot access my itunes from that computer. When I try to give this computer access to itunes, a message says there are authorization problems. Tells me to fix these authorization problems or cancel authorizations from this computer. I'll be damned if I can find a way to do this. So far two Apple techs haven't been able to...

  • I cannot access to my account after recovery OS by time machine.

    I cannot access to my account after recovery OS by time machine. My MBP is 13" Mid-2009, I purchesed the Mountain Lion on the Apps Store long ago, the problem occured when i was trying to upgrade to SSD. I used recovery DVD then Migration Assistant.

    Boot into the Recovery HD and use the password reset utility.
    Open Terminal from Utilities.
    Type resetpassword and hit return

  • ITunes won't sync with my iPod, also cannot access store or account

    Recently I reformatted my hard drive to partition it.  I backed up my data and was able to upload my previous library into iTunes.  However, I noticed certain purchased songs are now missing.  When I attempted to access my iTunes account I was continually prompted for my login information.  I would put in the correct username and password but the prompt window would return again with no change each time.  Similarly when I attempted to check the iTunes store i was met with a blank page.  Uncertain what else to do I plugged in my iPod Touch to sync the songs to the computer from the device.  The device began charging, but not syncing, and no icon to indicate it was even recognized appeared.
    I am really stumped as to what the problem is.  I have searched the boards and found solutions to one symptom or another, but not all of them.  I have tried the recommendations for each individual problem but none have worked in any case.  If anyone knows why all these issues are manifesting at once I would greatly appreciate the help.  This is the first time I've ever encountered any real problem with this software and I'm not sure what to do.

    Yes, I've done that.
    I should probably be more specific than I was:  I have a ton of music (not purchased from itunes) on my computer.  I copied several CD's worth into itunes, and synced, but the only thing showing up on the iPod are three CD's that I'd purchased with an itunes gift certificate about a year ago.
    So the ipod is actually showing music that isn't currently in the itunes folder on my computer but it won't show the stuff that IS in there.

  • I recently changed my apple ID but I not cannot access my iCloud account and I also keep getting a message pop up asking me for my old password with my old email address

    Changed my apple ID email address which seemed to work but now cannot sign into iCloud account it still comes up with my old email address and I cannot access it also the message pops up all the time when just using ipad HELP

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • HT1694 I have recently updated my iPad and cannot access my mail account (I can access it through Microsoft) but not the mail app that's on iPad.. It continually keeps saying cannot verify account or password.

    I have updated my pad and now cannot access my Email through mail on the ipad (I can access it on the internet via Microsoft ) I have tried changingassword and server to pop3... But nothing working that if read from ppl. Please help.. As I love using mail on the pad making it much faster and easier to view my mail. I don't wanna go back to logging in over the web....   Please help :)

    When resetting your password, did you turn on two-step authentication? If you did, the Mail App isn't compatible with it - either, you need to create an application password and use that to log in using the iPhone Mail App, (instead of your Microsoft Account password) or disable two-step authentication to make it work.

  • TS1368 cannot access itunes store account

    Hi, anyone know why I cannot access my itunes store purchases etc from my wife's macbook which is authorised to my itunes / apple id etc? Can access my account details no problem though......

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
