How to recover information from old sync account?

HDD died on me, but I didn't think it much of a problem, as I just thought I'd pair the new installation with my android phone. However, I should have noticed much earlier that there are new sync accounts, and migrated to them. Now I can access all tabs, passwords and so on from my phone, but cannot pair them up with the new installation. And, while the old drive does allow some amount of reading, C: is completely untouchable, so I cannot do a normal backup and restore of the profile.
Now, to recover all that information, I have to load all 50+ sync tabs on my phone, then migrate to the new sync? Would that lose any information, like passwords or history? Is there any alternative?

Windows doesn't even recognize the old disk, xubuntu helped me recover some of the data partition, but C: was completely corrupted. Tried my best there.
Installing an old version of firefox did work, however, as I've saved my recovery key in a safe place. This way I've recovered bookmarks, preferences, at least most of my old tabs (not all, strangely), and, most importantly, the history, so I will just call this a job well done.
Thanks for the answer, and for the tip about Android; that certainly saved me some headache before I figure it out myself.

  • How do I get my old sync account bookmarks and bars into my new sync account ?

    I had a sync account on firefox (with bookmarks, modules and bars) last version.

  • Recovering information from Firefox Sync

    Ok, so here's the thing. I needed to reinstall my computer, so before doing it I set up Sync and synced all my bookmarks and passwords and everything. Now that I've reinstalled everything, I tried to recover all the information from Sync. I connected to my account and entered the key, but nothing happened, none information was recovered. How do I get it back?
    I am using OS X.

    You can get some data from the backup using:
    iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
    You can also purchase or borrow another iOS device and restore that device from your iPod backup.

  • How to copy information from a user account's Security tab of Active Directory User and Computer Security tab to another user account?

    Hi, I'm using vs2012
    Grammatically, by C# code, I need to copy a user account's Security (from ADUC Security tab) and apply it to a new user account I created by code.  My application creates new AD accounts when needed.  I need to duplicate/copy attribute from another
    user account that we use as a base template.  I can copy most other attributes through property["xxxxx"] but how do I copy all that permission access information under the ADUC Security tab?
    How can I do that?  Thank you.

    Hi Chinar.
    When i used RMAN flow as your step, but i met the problem!
    - After recover database i select sequence#, applied from v$archived_log;
    --> it apply newest archived log that i had.
    - but when I select Data from table created between 01-Nov to 05-Nov, it not found!
    Not the same way the step:
    SQL> RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL?
    It apply newest the same archived log i had table created between 01-Nov to 05-Nov.
    How can i do with RMAN to recover my table?That is not possible,if your all available archive logs applied using rman or through sqlplus(recover database using backup controlfile until cancel) and one of these logs contain your table then there are not any problems.So there are not any difference between recovery using rman and user managed(using sqlplus),but there main matter is applying all archive logs.So first check through rman list copy of archivelog all or list backup of archivelog all and identify there in rman repository is any information or not about these logs.

  • My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account?

    My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account? I have a ton of bookmarks/saved password and the only way to get on sync is create a new recovery key and lose all of my information.
    Is there any way to get my stuff back without creating a new recovery key and losing all my old stuff?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a  backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How Can I get my bookmarks From My Sync account without my sync key after a hard drive crash?

    My Computer Hard Drive crashed before I could back up my Sync Key or add another device. How can I get My bookmarks from my sync account without resetting the sync key and wiping my data?

    Not from Mozilla. Nobody knows your Sync Key except for you. <br />
    Is that hard drive usable at all? Like as an external disk in a USB hard drive enclosure?
    If so, you can recover your Firefox data from that drive. <br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
    Your old Profile is located here in Vista & Win7: <br />
    ''drive'':\Users\''Windows login user name''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\''profile_name'' <br />
    Make sure that you unhide "Hidden files and folder" in the Control Panel > Folder Options -> View

  • How do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

    how do i recover music from old computer. its broken and i did not have the music backed up on any other hard drive.

    OK, well, seems like you need to lose the attitude if you really want help.
    There are several ways to get music from iTunes on your computer to your device.
    The easiest is to sync directly with iTunes by connecting your device to your computer, selecting the device, setting up your Profile pages, and then clicking the Sync button to sync.
    First you want to open iTunes and under Preferences>Devices, make sure that you are not syncing automatically:
    Make sure that box is checked.
    Then follow the instructions in the article below for either your computer or your Mac to set up your Profile pages and to sync your music via iTunes:
    WINDOWS IOS SYNC ITUNES 11
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    You can also directly download music from iTunes to your device by going to the iTunes icon, going to "Purchased", and selecting the items that are not on your device that show a little cloud next to them. Click on the cloud and the music will download.
    You might also want to familiarize yourself with your iPhone 5 manual. It has all the answers you cannot find on Google or by trying to just do it by brute force. If you would take a little time to read about your device and how to use it, you might not be so frustruated and unnecessarily snarky to people who are trying to help:

  • Data from my old sync account (the one used on firefox 28) got replaced by data from my new sync account (the one used on firefox 34)

    Disaster step by step:
    1. Run old Firefox 28, using a separate profile named "Firefox 28", and log in to my old sync account (the one used on Firefox 28). In the old sync account i have saved tons of useful bookmarks and data. Got a device name "Admin's Firefox on HP-Laptop".
    2. Check all my old bookmarks and they are fine. Stupid of me i didn't make a backup at that point.
    3. Run new Firefox 34.0.5, using a separate profile named "default", and log in to my new sync account (the one used on Firefox 29 and on). In the new sync account i have saved a few bookmarks only. Got a device name "Admin's Firefox on HP-Laptop" again. Stupid of me i didn't pick another name. Didn't imagine what was about to happen.
    4. What happened: All of my precious data which was stored on the old sync account got replaced by the few bookmarks of the new sync account. And by replaced i mean replaced ON THE SYNC SERVER. Now the old sync server has the very little data of the new sync account and i have lost all my precious data!!!
    That little bug of Firefox cost me all of my data on the server.
    People, please help me find a solution to recover my data that was stored on the old sync server and got replaced. I have no backup of the lost bookmarks nor backup of a profile that contains them.
    P.S.: I used the default setting to sync, which was to merge data.
    P.S.2: I don't maintain a personal old Firefox Sync server.
    Who is the administrator of the old sync server maintained by Mozilla? Does he keep image backup? Maybe he could extract my data from an image backup. A pre-today date would be fine!

    Hi,
    Unfortunately Sync does not backup. However in Windows 7 you can right click on the profile folder and select to restore to a previous version.
    I hope this helps, and I am very sorry about the lost data.

  • How can I recover photos from old iphone icloud backup to new one?

    Hello, I had an iPhone 4 which I lost and inside there were some great photos that I want now to recover. In the meanwhile I bought an iPhone5S and I just realized that inside the iCloud backup menu is saying that there is a backup of 3GB of my old iPhone. How can I see if in that backup the photos are there? I have connected my iPhoto App to iCloud but it only finds photos from my new iPhone and not the old one...
    Thanks for your time.

    Way 1: Recover deleted photos from iPhone directly
    Way 2: Using iTunes Backup to recover deleted photos
    Way 3: Using iCloud Backup to recover deleted photos
