How to recover Sync Key from Linux (Ubuntu)?

I had dual-boot: Windows and Ubuntu. For some reason I had to reinstall Windows, and when I did so -- Ubuntu wouldn't boot. And this time, unlike previous times...Ubuntu partition went inaccessible and therefore I couldn't even boot into it. However, I'm able to use Disk Internal's Linux Reader to read my partition. I can access the Ubuntu filesystem. How can I recover Firefox Sync Key?
I understand it must be stored somewhere on the filesystem, but where? And how can I recover it?
(I know it must be a technical solution, please help.)

You should be able to access Ubuntu if you reinstall the GRUB boot loader that probably had been removed by Windows.
Do you have an installation DVD or CD for that Ubuntu installation?
There is usually a repair option or a way to boot Linux directly.
You can also use a live CD/DVD disk to access the Linux partition, but make sure that you use one that does support the file system.
The Firefox profile folder is usually in the hidden .mozilla directory in the user account in the home directory. Home may be mounted in another partition.

I've tried to login from a windows machine and it works perfectly, so whats the problem with firefox for linux???. PLZ HELP !!!!!!!!

When you load a video on YouTube, Firefox starts the Flash plugin with YouTube's SWF player. The SWF player imports and plays the actual MP4 or FLV media. Firefox doesn't associate Flash with these formats directly.
Can you use a stand-alone player, such as QuickTime or VLC to play the downloaded file outside of the browser?
If you need to play it in the browser, perhaps someone has posted instructions on how to do it. Because of security restrictions, you probably would need to save a web page file (.html) and a SWF player into the same folder as the media in order to get everything to work together.

I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud

I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud?

The only way photos are stored in icloud is in a backup from an ios device. This assumes that icloud backup was turned on and that camera roll was turned on. Note that photo stream is a slightly different service that is used to sync photos from one device to another, it's not really a storage service.
To retrieve photos that are in a backup, you need to reset a device (wipe all data from it) and perform a restore. Note that many users have had problems getting their photos back from a backup - for one reason or another. Remember, the suggested way of storing photos is to sync them to a computer or service like Dropbox.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone. This has never been a feature of iphone.
You sync them as you would anything esle.
You select photos from the photos tab. Whatever is selected will be on your iphone. Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

HT1296 how do i sync photos from iphone to pc

how do i sync photos from iphone to pc

I have the same issue. I've already read the iPhone user guide which didn't help.
The user guide explains how to turn on Photo Sync in iTunes but no specifics of where the imported photos will be. I tried syncing a few times and I cannot find the photos on my PC.iTunes transferred all my PC photos *to* the phone, but not the other way around.
I'd imagine they should be in the folder that is specified in iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated!

How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?

How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?
Hi, Does anyone know how to do this without the need for me to upgrade to Lion on my MAcBook Pro and use the iCloud?
I put all my contacts into my iPhone and I'd like them now on my MAcBook Pro.
Thanks,

Click on your iDevice on the sidebar of iTunes and then go to the info tab at the top. check the box shown here:
This will put the contacts from an iDevice to the computer. You can then check the same box on the (let's say iPad) that doens't have any contacts and they will go from your comp to your iPad.
