How to sync Firefox settings between multiple OS's on one computer or multiple computers

I have three OS's on a single computer (XP SP3, WIN7 & WIN8. Each OS has it's own Firefox install and of course, different settings in each since they are all handled separately, I have no idea how to synch the user-data from all three different Firefox installations. My goal is to be able to boot up in any of the OS's and have the same user settings/details across all three.
Once I get that figured out, then I can try to find a way to synch Thunderbird across all three OS's so that mail collected or sent in one OS is shared or synched with Thunderbird on the other two OS's.
It's probably a tall order and not possible to accomplish, but if I don't ask then I'll never know.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

hello fastlane, for firefox you can use firefox sync to share bookmarks, passwords & history between your three OSs - [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]
& for keeping your mails synced it's possibly the easiest way to use a mail-provider that offers IMAP, which keeps the mails on the server so that your mail program on any OS has the same data when it's connecting...

How do you share music between two iTunes accounts on one computer?

My wife and I share a Windows 7 laptop computer. We have separate Windows logins and separate iTunes accounts. When we had separate computers we were able to use Home Sharing to share our music but this doesn't work when you have two accounts on the same computer.
Is there a way to share our music libraries without wiping out what is already stored in our individual iTunes music libraries?

There are basically three ways to go:
1) Get compatible software. Microsoft iSCSI target cannot do what you want out-of-box but good news third-party software (there are even free versions with a set of limitations) can do what you want. See:
StarWind Virtual SAN [VSAN]
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/native-san-for-hyper-v-free-edition
DataCore SANxxx
http://datacore.com/products/SANsymphony-V.aspx
SteelEye DataKeeper
http://us.sios.com/what-we-do/windows/
All of them do basically the same: mirror set of LUs between Windows hosts to emulate a high performance and fault tolerant virtual SAN. All of them do this in active-active mode (all nodes handle I/O) and at least StarWind and DataCore have sophisticated
distributed cache implementations (RAM and flash).
2) Get incompatible software (MSFT iSCSI target) and run it in generic Windows cluster. That would require you to have CSV so physical shared storage (FC or SAS, iSCSI obviously has zero sense as you can feed THAT iSCSI target directly to your block storage
consumers). This is doable and is supported by MSFS but has numerous drawbacks. First of all it's SLOW as a) MSFT target does no caching and even does not use file system cache (at all, VHDX it uses as a containers are opened and I/O-ed in a "pass-thru" mode)
b) it's only active-passive (one node will handle I/O @ a time with other one just doing nothing in standby mode) and c) long I/O route (iSCSI initiator -> MSFT iSCSI target -> clustered block back end). For reference see:
Configuring iSCSI Storage for High Availability

MSFT iSCSI Target Cluster
http://techontip.wordpress.com/2011/05/03/microsoft-iscsi-target-cluster-building-walkthrough/
3) Re-think what you do. Except iSCSI target from MSFT you can use newer technologies like SoFS (obviously faster but requires a set of a dedicated servers) or just a shared VHDX if you have a fault tolerant SAS or FC back end and want to spawn a guest VM
cluster. See:
Scale-Out File Servers
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831349.aspx
Deploy a Guest Cluster Using a Shared Virtual Hard Disk
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265980.aspx
With Windows Server 2012 R2 release virtual FC and clustered MSFT target are both really deprecated features as shared VHDX is both faster and easier to setup and use if you have FC or SAS block back end and need to have guest VM cluster.
Hope this helped a bit :)

How often syncs Firefox sync with the server were my bookmarks are storaged? Can I turn of the historical sync because one computer is at home and the other is at work. So I use totally different webpages and would like to have the history disabled.

How often syncs Firefox sync with the server were my bookmarks are storaged? Can I turn of the historical sync because one computer is at home and the other is at work. So I use totally different webpages and would like to have the history disabled.

OK, I found the part about history. It is just to unmark that.
But still i wonder how often it sync? Instantly? Or when closing FF?

How do I manage multiple Iphone accounts on one computer

My wife desperaely needed to back up her iPhone (been over teo years). I didn't want to do this given that she woulde lose two years worth of data, but we decided to plow ahead. I hit the update button and was advised that there was an earlier backup from last fall. I said I wated to use that back up. Unfortunately it was a backup for my daughter's iphone 5c and now my wife's phone is simply a clone of the 5C. What can I do to pul at least some of her account information back out and show her iPhone again on the devices list?

It certainly is possible.

How to sync my ipod 3G to itunes on a new computer without losing everything

How to sync my ipod 3G to itunes on a new computer without losing everything

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
Iphone will sycn with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.

Multiple ipods belonging to multiple family members on one computer

How do I keep my family's libraries separate on one computer. I have been checking and unchecking songs each time I sync one of my children's ipods. It is driving me nuts. There has got to be a better way. My husbands library alone so far is 1300 songs. HELP!

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library
b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
c) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): iPod - Syncing Music
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Adding songs to iPod shuffle - Windows
Multiple Libraries
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

Create A New User Account In Vista

Hi, China6450.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend setting up Manually manage music. This will only allow music to be synced from the computer to the iPod nano. Here are some helpful articles that will walk you through the process.
