How can I sync password on desktop to mobile?
Firefox sync works for me pretty well, except that the passwords that I have stored in the Password Manager for my desktop versions of firefox does not seem to be sync'ed to my android firefox mobile. Is there a way for me to do that?
Passwords should sync automatically when you are using Firefox Sync. But they may not work on web sites that redirect mobile browsers to a different page, since Firefox cannot tell that it is the same site. There may also be bugs in mobile Firefox that prevent stored passwords from working on some pages.
Firefox for Android does not yet have Master Password support built in. We're working on this for a future version. For now, try out the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/master-password-270907/ Master Password add-on].

The story is, I had my desktop and android tablet synced, with a significant amount of bookmarks in the desktop PC. Then my desktop hard drive was reformatted and Win XP reinstalled.
I had not taken note of the recovery key previously (nor backed up the firefox profile), thinking that I would just easily sync the "new" desktop back to the existing account.
I can see the synced bookmarks in my tablet (but associated to the now nonexistent desktop).
I just can't find a way of retrieving the sync key or recovery key from the android tablet, to be able to join the "new" desktop to the same account.
Anyone have any idea of how to do it?
I've seen references to an add-on that would show the key but it doesn't work with the current firefox version (19)
An alternative would be to export the bookmarks from the tablet, but I couldn't find how to do it either. The option to export is not there on the android version.
Thanks in advance!I've tried, but it requires me to enter a Recovery Key and I can't find a way to retrieve that from the android tablet.
Am I missing something? -
How can I sync ReminderFox between Desktop & Laptop?
Is there an add-on, similar to the way X-Marks syncs between laptop and desktop, to facilitate the syncing on ReminderFox?
As a "tech novice" I am intimidated by the method described in the Firefox Help.AFAIK, there is no Sync option for ReminderFox, but there is an option to export / import your data or send email reminders to yourself for specific reminders.
You might want to contact the developers of that addon to see what their plans are for allowing your ReminderFox data to be synced thru Mozilla Sync, which is available as an extension now and will be part of Firefox 4 - due to be released near the end of 2010. <br />

How can I sync bookmarks between my opera mobile browser and my new Firefox for android browser ?
I just installed Firefox on my Android, and wondered if there was sone way that I could sync my existing Opera mobile bookmarks to it so I don't have to go thru and add them manually ?
I suspect you need to sync Opera Mobile to a desktop PC, then export/import to get into Firefox. The reason I suspect this is the enhanced security and limited features on mobile browsers .

my laptop had a virus and I am trying to sync my IPHONE 4 to my desktop, how can I sync my phone without losing all my music, apps and contacts?
You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone. -
I purchased a movie on the AppleTV 2 but it is not showing up in iTunes on my desktop computer. How can I sync? (have lastest version of iTunes and ATV2 software)
Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV. -
how can I sync my Apple ID to my iTunes store sign-in window? An old ID keeps showing in the iTunes sign-in window and I cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the password for the old ID in order to "manage" my account and make changes. Help. Thanks.
Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account with a new email address ? You can tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stpre and sign out of it and you can then sign with the new/updated account.
If you did create a new account then your existing content will remain tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to redownload that content and/or download updates to its apps. If you can't remember the password for it then you can try getting it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com -

How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?
I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.
aflores48,
Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305703
More information about syncing the iPhone with your computer (including Yahoo Address Book) can be found here:

Hope this helps,

You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

How can I sync 2 Android devices if I do not have a computer to create a sync profile from?
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab running Android 4.0.4 & a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.1.1 and no desktop or laptop computer to create a sync profile on. How can I sync my Firefox browsers between these devices?
There isn't an official way to do this.
Here's a hack which could work but I've never tried it and it's difficult to do:
#Borrow a desktop or laptop with Firefox
#Create a new [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles|profile]]
#[[How do I set up Firefox Sync?|Set up a sync account]]
#Write down your username, password and '''recovery key''' <- super important. See, [[How do I manage my Firefox Sync account?#w_where-can-i-find-my-recovery-key|Where can I find my Recovery Key?]]
#Delete that profile you just created on the borrowed computer.
#On one of your Android devices, set up sync and tap the "Advanced Setup" link
#Enter your username, password and recovery key
#Repeat the last two steps on the other Android device. -
Currently my address book only displays e-mail addresses. It uses the portion of the address in front of the @ as the name. How can I sync it with my i-phone 4S that has name/numbers and addresses of my contacts?
Hello there, Seta.
You are correct that this can be done with iCloud. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great instruction for syncing contacts:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
Particularly:
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you to keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
For details on syncing content on your iOS device with your computer, click the sections below.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
