How to restore sync after reset?

After a troubleshooting re-set on my windows pc my sync is no longer active. when i try to reactivate it on the tools drop-down i see two options: 1) "set up sync" which gives me the options of "create a new account" or "i have an account") or 2) tools --> options --> options --> sync which gives me the choices "set up firefox sync" or "pair a device." on my existing/previously paired device (a mac) the tools menu shows only a "sync now" choice. none of the available choices seem to fit so how do i proceed to get an existing sync account working on my windows pc? the instructions, if any, on doing exactly this are vague. i do have my sync account email, password and recovery key. sorry if i am missing something here. thank you.

Enter all details like the account name (email address) and password and the 26-character Sync key manually to connect to an existing sync account instead of using the 12-character code to pair a device if pairing isn't possible.
# open "Tools > Options > Sync" or "Firefox > Set Up Sync"
# click "Set Up Firefox Sync" to go to "Firefox Sync Setup"
# click "I Have an Account" : Connect
# click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom to enter the account settings (email, password, sync key)
# click the "Sync Options" button at the bottom to select what to sync

  • How setup LDAP Sync After Install in OIM 11g  ver, 11.1.1.5.0

    Hi guys, I'm trying to find how to setup LDAP Sync After Install in OIM 11g (ver, 11.1.1.5)....
    I found on Metalink an interesting article "*How to Setup LDAP Sync After Install in OIM 11g [ID 1272682.1]*", but inside there is a Note that says:
    Note: This article is applicable to OIM version 11.1.1.3 only. Steps for 11.1.1.5 are not the same, and product manual has documented steps to setup LDAP sync after install.
    So, that the steps for 11.1.1.5 are not the same, it's clear.....
    and I tried to look for these steps in the manual:
    Oracle® Fusion Middleware Quick Installation Guide for Oracle Identity Management
    11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
    Part Number E10033-06
    but I didn't still find nothing for the specific 11.1.1.5.0 version....only for the 11.1.1.3.0 version
    Can anyone help me to find where these steps are ? I need this information as soon as possible ti start the development
    Thanks in advance for the help
    Alex

    If you are creating Before and After Create Opeation script, you would be able to access all the variables in the process form. Now obvious question, what are the names of these variables? The answer is: the name of the variable is same as that mentioned in the "decode" column of the provisioning attribute map lookup or in other words, the variable name is same as the AD attribute name. In the example mentioned in the documentation, the variable "%givenName% was used in the script. On the similar lines you can use other variables like "sn", "samAccountName", etc.
    Hope the information helps.

  • Is the data automatically synced after you do the original setuop or do you have to do something to make it sync? How are changes synced after the original setup?

    How is the information synced after the original setup? Is it done automatically or do you have do do something? And if so, what?

    After you setup Firefox Sync, you do not have to do anything else. It will automatically sync your data in the background. <BR><BR>

  • How to restore documents after a clean install when location is not known?

    I have had some troubles with my computer recently and the person at the genius bar said I should wipe my drive clean and include everything except my library folders and system folder. The only thing I don't know how to restore is documents that aren't stored in a known location in the finder. What I mean is programs like LittleSnapper or Macjournal that have their files contained with the application (in another words I don't go to the Finder to save or open these documents.)
    I did a search for some files from "Things" and it looks like these get stored under the library. Therefore if I choose to not restore the library (like the Genius said) wouldn't I lose access to these files?! LittleSnapper appears to save it's files in a hidden folder on the hard drive called "private". How can I restore that folder if I don't even have access to it?
    Do I just export the files from these programs to the finder and then reimport them later? "Things" doesn't even appear to have a way to export it's files that I know of.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide in this matter.

    "No program keeps stuff in the private folder."
    The reason I thought that is if you open a LittleSnapper screen shot in Photoshop or where ever and then command click on the windows title it shows the private folder on the file's path.
    "Before you do reformat, try creating a new user account. See if you're problem still exist within that new user."
    Yes I still have the problem with the new user account.

  • How to restore photos after i tried to delete them, they are still there

    I tried to delete some photos to give me room on my start up disc. First I tried saving them to a thumb drive then tried deleting the pix. The photos come up blank but I still see them sometimes. how do I restore them completely.
    part 2 what is the best way to store them off the hard drive?

    assuming that you deleted them in iPhoto to totally remove them empty the iPhoto trash and then the system trash
    to move your entire iPhoto library to an external drive
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
    How to restore them - if you deleted tehm in iPhoto open the iPhoto trash and right click on them and restore to library

  • I restored bookmarks after resetting firefox. Now when i try to bookmark a page none of the restored folders show up. How do i fix this?

    detail is in the question

    if you want to know where the folders you restored are placed they should be located in "all bookmarks" -> inside a folder called "restored bookmarks" or "backup"
    you have to manually drag the folders out of there and place them where you want them to be. then navigate (as normal) to that folder to add bookmarks to them.
    ''i hope i'm understanding what you mean, but otherwise please explain it a bit more so that i can help you''

    Hello,
    As above code, I am calling "cropLayer()" in a loop.
    After cropping a layer, image size is affecting for other layers and gives me error in layer bounds.
    Because, size is changed for other layer size after a current layer cropping.
    I need to reset/restore layer coordinates before cropping next layer.
    Also I tried with 'eventUndo' but can't generate code by listner. How does it possible ?

  • How to restore OSX after I add another drive in window partition?

    I installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp one month ago and it worked fine.
    Today, I decided to make another drive in Windows partition.(I din't know I could not make another drive.)
    So, I shrank C drive and made E drive using disk manager in Windows.(I could not choose D drive)
    After I did that, I saw that OSX partition was gone and G and H drives were made.
    I no longer see boot option to select OSX or Windows when I boot.
    I can only select Windows. I can not boot to OSX.
    How can I restore OSX?
    I don't want to lose data in Mac.

    Do a backup.
    The first thing you need to do is sort out which partition has what on it and how many partitions you want to keep.. Then boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R or hold down option key) and restart. Use Disk Utility to set the number of partitions you want. If everything is really messed up, you might want to erase the entire disk and then reset the partitions. I would run Disk Utility Repair Permissions and Verify before installing. Then reinstall the OS on the partition you want. If you erase the drive then reinstall Boot Camp/Windows.
