How do I enter my old 25 digit recovery key in my new Firefox install?

I had installed Nightly but it had problems, so I uninstalled it. It asked it I wanted to save preferences - "In case I wanted to reinstall Nightly", but I had Firefox already loaded and it had all of my bookmarks and passwords, so I didn't. When I opened FF, (v23.0.1) it had all been erased. I have my 25 digit sync key on my backup drive, but there is nowhere to enter it to sync the open program on my computer. It wants 12 digits, or to send the key to another computer.
How can I enter my old key in my current version and get my information back?

That probably would have gotten it, if I had been able to remember which of my dozen email addresses I used to set up my account originally. And with all of that info gone....
I did manage to find my backed up files and restore by drag and drop, but not before restoring the system to a week ago, as my friend suggested. THat did nothing except lose my Windows patches. :(
Thanks!

How do I deauthorize an old PC so I can authorize a newer one?

How do I deauthorize an old PC so I can authorize a newer one?

If you do not have the PC anymore and want to unauthorize it you can unauthorize all PC's by going to the iTunes Store and signing in. Once signed in click the Account button which is the part where you Apple ID appears once signed in. You will be asked to enter your password again. Once you do so, click view account. In the Account Information Window, beside 'Computer Authorizations' click Deauthorize All. Please note, once doing this you will have to authorize the computer you are using otherwise you will be unable to do things involving your Apple Products and Purchases.

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

HT1766 how do i save my old photos and put it on the new device?

how do i save my old photos and put it on the new device?

Here is how to get everything:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
To get photos taken by or saved to the iPod to the computer see:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
If they were synced from a computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView to get them into the computer.
To move from computer to new iPod
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes

How can I reformat my old mac air, since I have the new one

How can I reformat my old mac_book_air, since I have the new one?

I believe that would be because the usernames on the two computers are different. You will have to change the ownership of everything you copy over from the old computer or change the username on the new computer so it's the same as the one on the old computer. Doing this is a bit complcated:
OS X: How to change user account name or home directory name
Changing file ownership is a bit easier. If you have copied all the files from the old computer into the Home folder of the new computer then do this:
To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

I have an old ipod that got put through the washer. I want to restore it but i already have a new ipod. How can i restore my old ipod without losing all of my new itunes songs?

I accidently put my old 2nd generation Ipod nano through the washer a few years ago. Well after that it would no longer work do to water damage. After a while i got a new Ipod (the same type) and was able to get new songs to put on it and what not. Well i was playing around with the one i washed opne day and found that i could still restore it on iTunes. However, it wont let me restore it without losing all of my music and what not that i got for the new one. I would like to continue to use the old one, but I am afraid of losing all of my current stuff. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can restore the old and keep the new? I am in desperate need.

Well, two thoughts.
The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

New firefox installed - didn't give me the option of not installing it before telling me that (essential to me) add-ons were incompatible. How can I get the old firefox version back?

I would not have installed the new firefox if I had known in advance that two of my essential add-ons would no longer work. Now I want the old firefox version back so I can continue to function until the add-ons are updated. Suggestion: when you notify user that add-ons are incompatible, give the option of reverting to an earlier firefox version.

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

My motherboard died but the hardrive is still good. How can I get my old bookmarks and copy them to my new computer?

My old Gateway laptop died (about 2 years old)but the harddrive is still good. I was able to retrieve all my old info EXCEPT I can't figure how to get to my old bookmarks file so I can copy them into my new computer. I believe. I have tried several forums, but the instructions don't give me the results I need. I am running my old drive with a USB adapter so I can see all my files, but can't get to/find the bookmark file.

How do I download my old iPhone 4 iCloud data onto my new iPhone 5S?

Hi,
I just got a iPhone 5S. I had an iPhone 4 that was backup to my iCloud account. I tried to download my old phone's iCloud data to my new phone and keep getting the same message "apple ID could not created because server error." I can't connect to iTunes, my iMac has the old operating system. Is there anyother way to download without restarting to phone? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

New firefox install. Setting up sync, used correct email but wrong password. New account was created. How do I get sync from the old account?

I did a re-install of Firefox. When setting up the sync, I accidentally created a new account on the e-mail I was using for sync. The system did not prompt me that this account is already in use. Now there is a new sync data set up on this account.
How can I access the sync data that was previously linked to this e-mail address?

This is the proper method to update your Sync account for the new Sync, aka '''FxA'''.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-update-to-the-new-firefox-sync
Unfortunately the data in the old version of that account was overwritten when you accidentally created a new account using the same "username" / email address.
Are you certain that you used the same exact email address?
