How can I migrate my old sync data to the new system when I don't have any devices signed in

I just reformatted my computer harddrive and reinstalled both Windows and Linux. Now that I have everything installed and updated, Firefox is asking me to migrate to the new syncing system they have. Problem is, I want to still be able to sign into the old system just to be able to get my bookmarks so I can migrate them to the new system.
I still have my sync key, and login information for the old system, but I just want to know how to access it once to get my information. I can handle everything from there.

hello, in this case you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the prior firefox version, disable automatic updating for the moment (in options > advanced > update), link it to the old sync account and upgrade after you have successfully restored your data this way...
[[Install an older version of Firefox]]

  • HT1329 How can I get my old music library onto my new computer when my old laptop with all the library is broken?

    My old laptop had all my music library on it and I have no back up. I have gotten a new laptop (a PC not MAC) and really need my music onto my iphone, please help!!

    Depending on what the problem with the laptop is, you could take the hard drive out of the laptop and put it into an external hard drive caddy (laptops uasally use 2.5" drives). This should allow you to access all the files on the drive however if the hard drive is damaged you will have a harder time recovering the files.

  • How can I download my iPhone's songs to a new computer? (I don't have old computer or hard drive)

    My old computer is crashed so, I want to download songs from iphone to my new computer. I want to download them in my new windows computer in MP3 format if possible.
    Thanks!

    If the music was purchased in iTunes, then you would just have to redownload those purchases in the iTunes store in iTunes. If the music was pulled from CDs you would have to pull them from the CD's again.

    Hi iVain
    Fire up *Disk Utility*, click the Restore tab, then drag your old and new TM drives into the Source and Destination fields. Click Restore, and a complete copy of your old TM files will be made on the new drive. Go to TM preferences and select the new drive, and it will continue backing up just as it left off.
    Hope this answers your question. See:

  • How can I  delete pictures from my moments off the new IOS8

    How can I delete pictures from my moments off the new IOS8 when it doesnt give me the option to delete the photo itself? The icon of the trash doesnt appear what so ever. This is the only thing im dissapointed in the IOS8 update. Theres not even a camera roll where you can delete the photo like the IOS7

    Try this:
    1. Start from the homescreen of your Iphone/pod (for dummies: where all of your "apps" are).
    2. Look for an app on your homescreen titled "Photos", when you find it - Click it.
    3. When the app opens, go ahead and look towards the bottom of your phonescreen.
         You should see a navigation with three different options;
           "Photos", "Shared" & "Albums"; Why don't you just go ahead and click on "Albums", there we go - Very nice!
    4. On the next screen that appears, it should display your different albums.
         Look for "Recently Deleted", and when you find it - Click on it.
           It should be on that list somewhere (or there's a problem!).
    5. Now you should see a screen displaying all of the recent photos you've deleted.
         The term we know as "recent" to iOS is thirty days (that's 720 hours in people-time!).
           You will have to click to each individual photo, however at the bottom left-hand cornor of every photo take notice of the 'Delete' option.
    You're welcome.

    I lost my iPod touch 32 GB a month ago, and today I got a new iPod touch 64 GB. While syncing it with itunes, I got my music library, books and purchased items back, but I didn't get my photos and videos.How can I get my old photos back in my new iPod?

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • HT4527 how do i sync my ipod with itunes on a new computer, when i don't have access to my old computer?

    how do i sync my ipod with i tunes on a new computer when i don't have access to my old computer?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • My iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

    my iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!
