Firefox Sync on same computer with different versions of Firefox

Hi,
I know how to use Sync on two different computers and a mobile device, but how can I Sync two or more different versions of Firefox (Nightly, Beta, Aurora, Release Candidate)? I can't get the code from the other computer/firefox because I can only have one version of Firefox open at the same time. I tried it. This is my setup. I have a different Profile for each version of Firefox I have. I also have each version of Firefox installed in a different directory, for example:
Nightly - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\
Aurora - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Aurora\
Beta - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Beta\
Release Candidate - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Release Candidate\
and my Profiles are in my
Nightly - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Nightly\
Aurora - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Aurora\
Beta - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Beta\
Release Candidate - C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\David-Release Candidate\
and I run Firefox with the following command (Properties/Target)
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Nightly"
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Aurora"
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Beta"
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Nightly\firefox.exe" -P "David-Release Candidate"
Can anyone help me so that I can Sync all the accounts (basically, just the bookmarks), so I will have access to all my bookmarks, instead of going to the firefox version I saved it in? I would appreciate any and all assistance concerning this matter.
Thank You.

Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and to run different Firefox instances simultaneously, but do not use -no-remote with the default browser and the default profile.

Enter all details like the account name (email address) and password and the 26-character Sync key manually to connect to an existing sync account instead of using the 12-character code to pair a device if pairing isn't possible.
# open "Tools > Options > Sync" or "Firefox > Set Up Sync"
# click "Set Up Firefox Sync" to go to "Firefox Sync Setup"
# click "I Have an Account" : Connect
# click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom to enter the account settings (email, password, sync key)
# click the "Sync Options" button at the bottom to select what to sync (Sync Options only affect the first sync)

    How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

    Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

    They can, but not at the same time.
    If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message.  If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
    If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

    Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

  • Share M4P music on same computer with different windows Sessions

    According to the guidelines provided on this site, I already shared my music folder to enable different users on my single computer to access shared music files.
    I kept different libraries to provide each user a different library to keep perosnal playlists, ratings and so on.
    m4p shared files can be read by each user by clicking on the file in windows folder so I understand protection is shared on the same computer.
    But there is no way to add a shared m4p file (itune protected)to the libraries !!
    I used the "add file" or "add folder" function... only mp3, mpg, appear in the library, but no m4p.
    How can a user manage a different library on the same computer and be able to add shared m4p files to each library ?

    Jase, you said "Music sharing works across different user accounts, whether they are on the same computer or different computers", but my son will log into his account where he currently has no music. in the window on the left, we can see the other computers in the house that are on line, but there is no sign of the master account (on that same imac). i assume this is because the master account is not logged in, therefore the secondary accounts can't find the master account's music, nor can I from a remote computer ( my macbook, for example). for instance, right now from my macbook i can see my son's itunes list (on the imac) in my "share window" (even though his list is empty). he can also see my macbooks list in his "share window". he cannot see either my list on that imac, or his sisters list on that same imac. all acounts on the imac have sharing turned on, as well as "look for shared music" turned on.
    i guess the focus is on this: can the master user itunes list be made available to other users on that same computer while they are logged in as other users (and the master account is logged off, which it has to be in order for the secondary accounts to be logged in, right?) I can't think of any other way to ask this, so i hope that clarified what we have tried and what we are asking for.

  • Can you sync and iPhone and iPad to the same computer with different Apple IDs?

    I synced my ipad2 to a computer my husband synced his iPhone to.  It now has his info. Is there a way to sync both devices with different IDs?

    You can if you use different user accounts on the computer so you have your own iTunes libraries. It will take some work. Read this.

  • Sharing Playlists and Music on the Same Computer with Different Users

    I'm trying to share music and playlists between different users of the same computer.
    Ideally I'd like to use the same iTunes music folder for all users, and have the same music and playlists show up no matter which user logs in (without having duplicate copies/files of the same songs clogging up our hard drive).
    also would like to be able to sync our shared iPod no matter which user panel we're logged onto.
    is any of this possible with the new version of iTunes?
    thanks much i advance.

    If you want all users to be able to access the same music, but with different libraries, NikkiG's advice is spot on. However, I thought I'd throw in my 2¢ since I just set this up for a friend.
    If you want all your users to have exactly the same library, and not just access to a shared library, do the following:
    -move the entire "iTunes" folder (~/Music/iTunes) into the Shared folder or to separate drive.
    -in each user's account, remove the iTunes folders (or just move them to a new location until you're positive this method works for you)
    -pop open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and here's where it gets a little dicey; type the following into the command line:
    ln -s /Users/Shared/iTunes/ ~/Music/iTunes/
    What this does is create a symbolic link (think alias, but more technical and powerful) between the iTunes folder in the Shared folder, and each user's iTunes folder. This way, each user is directly accessing the iTunes library, and not just through the shared area in iTunes itself. This allows them to add/remove music and playlists to the same library.
    HOWEVER, this method will mess up if you have multiple users logged in and using iTunes at the same time.

  • Creative cloud education on the same computer with different account

    hi, I bought  a 1 year creative cloud (education version) which will expire in few months. Perhaps I will skip to a different version or maybe not, still don't know. My question is: I have plans to sell my computer to a friend (student) and he would like to buy also a creative cloud (education version) and install it on that computer (or just use the adobe softwares already installed there and buy an education licence)...is it possible to do it or on a single computer (same ip) could run only 1 creative cloud installation?
    I try to explain it in different words: is it possible to install adobe softwares (or use the already installed adobe softwares) on the same computer but with a new (and different account) creative cloud education version (once the previous one expired)?
    thanks in advance for the reply

    When you sell the computer to your friend, then you have to just deactivate the CC Activation & Deactivation Help , you do not have to uninstall Adobe CC, your friend needs to sign in with the Adobe ID under which he purchases the CC.

  • Confused about synching multiple phones to the same computer with different content: itunes wants to erase everything??

    I have had an i5 for some time, but my partner just bought one to replace her 3GS. We both synch to my itunes, and have been doing so for as long as I can recall. When we got her i5, we backed up her 3GS and reloaded the content into her i5. So far so good. Now, this couple of weeks later, I decided I wanted to put some of the movies, music, etc. that I have on my itunes library on her phone. I had previous installed some of the apps that I have there without trouble. However, when I tell my itunes to put movies (etc) onto her phone, it warns me (upon apply) that this phone has been sync'ed to another itunes, and that I can do what I am asking, but it will erase everything on the phone now! I cancelled this op at this point.
    As far as I know neither of us has sync'ed her phone to any other itunes, although she has probably downloaded stuff directly into the phone using the onboard itunes. Is that what it's warning me about? Is there any way to either pull the content off the phone, or merge the content with what she had locally downloaded? If not, I'm willing to sacrifice the few things that she had locally loaded as long as it's not going to, for example, erase all her photos, and contacts, and everything else as well at the same time!
    This is all rather confusing to me. It's actually rather confusing that one can synch multiple devices with different settings at all, and I'm extremely surprised that it works at all. Can someone clarify what's going on here? What I should/shouldn't do? What I can/can't do?
    Thanks in advance!

    First make sure you have authorised the iTunes computer you are using for all of the associated apple ID's via the Store Menu>Authorise this computer and enter the apple ID and password used on the phone (repeat for as many apple ID's are in use on the phone).
    Then right-click (or Control Click) on the name of the phone and select Transfer Purchases (this can also be found under File>Device>Transfer purchases). This will back up all of the purchases on the device to your computer, then when you sync with the phone it will put them back on even though it has just removed them.
    Its a round about way of doing it but she shouldn't loose anything as long as the computer is authorised for all of the apple ID's used on the phone

  • Multiple Ipod nano's on same computer with different libraries

    I have tried to create two libraries on the same computer for my Nano and my wife's. We have very different music tastes. The Itunes program will not let me choose a library. It goes into the last one created. I have tried starting Itunes with the "shift" key but it will not let me choose a ilbrary. Any ideas??

    You might find it much easier to simply create a new user account on the computer for your wife. By default, she will get a brand new library she can call her own and sync her iPod to it. Now, not only will she have her very own library she can do with what she pleases, she can also customize the desktop, have different desktop icons, etc. to her own liking.

  • Use different profiles with different versions of Firefox

    I want to use 2 versions of firefox (27 and AURORA) on my mac. IS there any way I can PERMANENTLY 'assign' profiles to the exact versions so one version ALWAYS opens with profile1, the other- with profile2?
    Please explain clearly.
    Thanks.

    You will have to make specific shortcuts to open a Firefox instance with a specific profile by adding -P "profile name" to the command line to launch Firefox. If no profile is specified then the profile that is selected as the last used profile in the Profile Manager will be used. It is not possible to select another profile automatically if another profile is already being used. You will have to click the correct desktop shortcut to select a specific profile.

  • How to share music on same computer with different accounts

    Hi -
    I just got a new IMAC and me and my girlfriend use it and have two different accounts on the computer. I am trying to figure out how she can listen to my music from my itunes account when she is logged into her account. I seem to be failing at the suggested home sharing options that apple reccomends? is there a way? does she need to import all my songs into her account and recreate her own playlists that way?
    thanks for any and all help
    j

    Ok, so the iTunes music folder holds all the music. I copy or drag my iTunes folder and my Daughters iTunes folder from our separate user accounts to the shared music folder. Then open iTunes and steer my and my Daughters iTunes Music folder location to the same place.
    If she downloads new music I would have to open iTunes under my user account. Go file/add folder to library/ locate the new music on the shared music folder and that would bring something into my library file so I could see the new music on my iTunes.
    I guess what I started out to do was save memory space on my computer. Does all this do that?
    If it doesn’t I really don’t care anymore as long as I can copy her new music to my iTunes and vise versa.
    Thanks for the help
