How do I correct a typo in the email address I entered when setting up my Firefox Sync account?

When setting up my Sync account, there was a typographical error in my email address. (Unlike most setup routines, this one did not required double entry of email address. Now I understand why most do.) I discovered the error in trying to set up Sync on my laptop. How do I make the necessary email address correction?

Currently, to change your email address, you will need to go to Sync Preferences on your first computer and choose "Deactivate This Device"; then, choose "Set Up Firefox Sync" and create a new account with your corrected email address.
I apologize that this is not a better process. The Services team is working on an improved process that will allow you to change your email address more easily in the future.
Sincerely,

  • When setting up a Firefox Sync account I was never asked a secret phrase. When I try to use Firefox Home it asks for the secret phrase. What do I do? (using Firefox 3.6.10, iphone 4 and macbook OS X

    On the MacBook, open up the Preferences dialog and go to the Sync panel. Click the Manage Account button so it shows more options, then click on the My Sync Key link to show you the Sync Key.
    The sync key is the same as the secret phrase, it was renamed in recent versions of Firefox Sync.

  • How can I correct a typo in my email address when setting up a sync account?

    I was trying to create a "sync" account in Firefox for Android, and typoed when keying in the email address I wanted to use. I realized it at the page where it said that it was going to send me an email for me to confirm. But there's no way to correct the misspelling in the email address. I tried starting over (exiting out of sync), but when I go back into sync, the silly thing keeps going back to the page I was last at in an attempt to continue using the misspelled email address (which, of course, I won't be able respond to--I tried tapping in the box with the misspelled email address, but it doesn't allow me to correct the misspelling)
    I would just like to trash the entire sync setup process and start all over from scratch. How can I do this?

    Hello.
    Do you have any important/needed bookmarks, passwords, or history that you would like to keep? If not, then the easiest way would be to go to android's settings--apps-- and then tap on firefox--and then press "clear data". WARNING: This will reset Firefox to it's default settings, like when it was just installed. This should clear up everything and you should start over from scratch.
    If you need to keep your Firefox profile (a.k.a. bookmarks, history, passwords, etc.) Then please let us know.

  • Does anyone know how to correct an incorrect Apple ID (email) that was entered when setting up new iPhone 4S?

    While setting up new iPhone 4S, I mistakenly mistyped my Apple ID (email address) so when I go to app store, that incorrect account is revealed.  Trying to figure out how to change the Apple ID on the iPhone 4S to correct info.  Anyone know how to do this?  Thanks in advance for you help.

    It is most unlikely your replacement is anything other than new
    Refurbs are recycled through the Apple supplier's Factories
    I doubt that there has been time for that process and has already been mentioned early failures
    are probably checked out thoroughly before being recycled
    In any event you would never know the difference between new and a refurb
    I have had  x2 in past and certainly could not
    depending on your consuer laws you can probably get your money back
    if you are that concerned

  • I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

  • How to create Oracle Alert without metioning the email address in To Field

    Hi,
    I just wanna know that how to create Oracle Alert without metioning the email address in To Field.
    Please help thanks.

    If you don't enter anything in the email field, the alert email won't go out.
    If you just want to test or if you plan to use the history, you can put a non-existant email there.
    The alert will fire anyway.
    Hope this helps,

  • I just updated to 10.8.4 and my mail program is showing a series of boxes with AAAAs inside them instead of the email addresses. Also when on Safari web pages are displaying the same AAAAAs instead of type. Firefox displays fine. Can someone help me?

    Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
    OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
    Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

  • How do I change the email address that shows when I try to sign in to update apps

    The email address for the iPad has to be changed -- cnnot log into app store

    The email that shows when updating Apps is the Apple ID under which the App was purchased. Apps cannot be transferred between Apple IDs. The only way to change this is to delete the App and repurchase it under your correct Apple ID.

  • Change the email address that gave when ordering the ipad 2

    When ordering my ipad2 I gave an email address that I don't want to use with it. I want to set up a completely new apple id on the ipad 2. How can I do this?

    I have a similar problem. My son purchased an iPad for my wife and me for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. He added a number of apps plus family photos and videos and other data, downloading the data from his Mac computer. I have a PC and while I have downloaded iTunes and successfully moved my Contacts to the iPad, I cannot update the iPad's operating system without losing all the files (photos, etc) that he loaded. I would like to change the AppleID on the iPad to conform with the AppleID I created for iTunes, so that I can sync the apps in iTunes on my computer with the apps on the iPad. It is extremely frustrating! Does anyone have a solution?

  • I'm trying to set up a firefox sync account, but the captcha is invisible for some reason, so I get stuck at the `prove you're not a robot' step. What can I do?

    I'm trying to set up firefox sync on my macbook. When setting up my account, the "prove you're not a robot" page loads with a blank captcha, so of course I can't go on.
    At first I thought that adblock might be interfering, so I disabled it. No dice. Is there another add-on that might be causing a problem or a setting I should change? I'm running firefox 3.6.13 w/ Abine, but no other active add-ons, in MacOS 10.6.5.

    By the way, this is in the brand new Firefox 4, not an extension.
