I can't find the set up sync button

I know this is stupid but I can't find the set up sync button. I want to transfer the bookmarks from my old PC and have read how to do it but when I click on the orange Firefox button top left of my screen the only option appears to be sync now. Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks Joe

If you see sync now then this means that Sync is already installed on that computer and working.

Did you create a new sync account or used the previously used email and password and sync key?
Note that sync isn't supposed to be used as a means of transferring data from one computer to another, so you need to be careful with not overwriting data stored on the Sync server.
Check the Sync options when you have used Sync before and want to keep previously stored data on the Sync server.
* click the "Sync Options" button at the bottom to select what to sync (Sync Options only affect the first sync)
Select this choice if you want to restore data from the Sync server:
* "Replace all data on this device with my Sync data"
You can also copy files to an USB stick to transfer them to another computer.

  • It's kind of hard to "set up sync" when all the instructions and suggestions say "hit the set up sync button," BUT THERE'S NO SUCH BUTTON. What's up with that?

    Details? It's really simple: There's no "set up sync" button to be found in FIrefox 19 *anywhere*. And since all instructions begin with "Hit the Firefox button and then the 'set up sync' button..." it makes it kind of hard to get beyond "Hit the Firefox button"....

    Just to make note, I don't think it does make any sense to remove the "Set up sync" button after sync is set up. People (such as myself) might forget that they'd set it up, and searching (in vain) for the set up button. It *would* make sense to keep the button, but if sync had already been set up, have a message pop up that tells you so. (I'm just switching to FF, and so am stumbling around; still, this is discouraging.)

  • I can't find the List All Tabs button that's supposed to be at the top to yourright

    I'm trying to install the Tab Groups that you recommended. But I simply can't find the List All Tabs button that was supposed to be at the top right. it just says open all bookmarks. I've read through all the instructions and I can't find the button, so I can't continue. Is there a Tab Groups apps that I need to download first?? I've tried searching for that too, but there seems to be none. Please get back to me :) -Christine

    On the tabs toolbar the '''List all tabs drop-down is almost invisible''' especially if you have "Tabs on Top" until you pass the cursor over it -- even with the cursor on top of it it is still hard to see.
    The '''List All Tabs button''' is just a drop-drop down arrow when all the tabs bar, if you don't see it -- look in Customize (View>Toolbars>Customize), and drag the "List All Tabs" button up to the right hand end of the tabs bar.
    You can put Tabs back to being just above the web page content at the bottom of the toolbars with View > Toolbars > (uncheck) Tabs on Top and the button will show up better on a lighter background.
    You can use a Style to make the button more visible with a larger drop-down arrow and a background color.
    If you don't already have the "Stylish" Extension (258.0 KB), first install it. The extension is quite large, but the styles you install are very small, most consist of only a few lines of styling code.

  • Syncing and Deletion of Calendar Entries--HELP I Can't Find the Setting to Stop the Deletion of Older Calendar Appts

    PLEASE HELP!  It is important that I keep a history of my appointments in my Outlook calendar--regardless of age.  However, whenever I sync my Tour to my desktop, all calendar items that are of a certain age are prompted for deletion.
    While the Desktop Manager allows me to review the items that will be deleted, it will not allow me to remove the items from the deletion list and continue the sync function for all of the other items I need synced between my desktop and my device.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    Todd, have you "thrown the switch" to tell Palm Desktop to direct the data to Outlook?
    Start Button/All Programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Outlook.
    You said you're "using the Outlook 2007 Conduit" -- does this mean you installed the Outlook 2007 Update on top of Palm Desktop 6.2.2?  If so, that may be a problem as 6.2.2 comes with 2007 compatibility built into it!   
    I have read several posts recently where a user made the same mistake, and it caused some problems.  If throwing the switch above does not fix things, I'd uninstall/reinstall Palm Desktop, but do NOT install the Outlook 2007 patch.

  • HT2729 How can I find the video I synced to my phone?

    Where on my phone can I find a video that I synced from itunes? It was a homemade video I transferred to itunes but after it synced to my phone I can't find it.

    How did you sync it ? If you added it to your computer's iTunes library so that it appeared in the Movies/Films section then it should have synced to the phone's Videos app. If you synced it via the Photos tab, and had the 'include videos' tickbox ticked, then if it's compatible then it should have gone into the Photos app.

  • Before I updated to ios5 there was a "number" on the task bar next to bookmarks showing all the windows I like to keep open. Now I can't find the setting to go back to that feature. Help!! I just want to be able to click on the number to get to my windows

    Before I updated to ios5  there was a number lit up on the task bar (next to bookmarks) which were all the windows I like to keep open. Now, after updating I can't find that feature in settings. I don't like all the different tabs along the top. Can anyone help me please?? I just want to click on the number and have all of my open windows there!

  • Where Can I Find The "Set Alert" Feature in Blackberry Messenger 5.0

    Hello,
    I just upgraded my Blackberry Messenger from version 4.5 to 5.0.0.57 on my Curve 8310.  However, in BB Messenger 5.0, I cannot figure out how to turn on the "set alert" feature that is available in BB Messenger 4.5  The "set alert" features allows you to know when an instant message has been read by the person you sent it to.  This is an invaluable feature for me (and I believe for many other), hence I cannot believe BlackBerry removed this feature in BB Messenger 5.0.
    Any help regarding this topic is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Honestly, I've never seen a setting for that. But, even with no such setting, I see the receipts just fine in all 1:1 conversations. Group conversations, however, don't show receipts -- and I don't recall any prior version showing such for groups.
    Good luck!

  • I can't find the "Complete My Album" button in iTunes.

    Hi I'm new to itunes and hope someone can help me.
    I was in the process of buying an album and a window poped up telling me I already have 2 of the songs on this album and this was making me eligible to buy the album at a reduced price. In order to check the songs I already had and to buy the album at a reduced price I had to click the "Complet My Album" tab or to continue and buy the album at full price, it said to click "buy album". When I clicked "Complet My Album" nothing happened.
    What am I supposed to do to buy the album at a reduced price?
    Where or when does the "Complete My Album" apear? I can't find it anywhere?
    By the way, both songs I have from that album where only bought yesterday and today. I just didn't know they were on this album.
    Thank you for your attention to my problem.

    The link should be in the upper-right of the iTunes Store window, under the Quick Links header, below Browse, Power Search, Account, et. al.

  • HT1420 I can't find the "authorize this computer" button in updated itunes. How can I do it?

    I cannot find the place to authorize my computer for iTunes. The link given by Apple's support team is not helpful--the updated iTunes doesn't show the same screen or information as I had in an older version of iTunes. I would really like some help because Apple's support team isn't giving me any more new information than I already had in the first place. All they gave me was a link to a page on their website about authorization/de-authorization that I've visited before, to no avail.

    If you are on a Mac then it should be in the same place as on previous version e.g. on my Mac on iTunes 11
    If you are on a PC then Alt-S should open the Store drop-down menu at the top of it

        If you did not notice already I was trying to open a old Lord of the Rings:The Fellowship of the Ring program.  I trust this program fully and I made sure there is no virus on it and about the spyware I am pretty sure Warner Bros would make sure there is no spyware.  I am using the latest Mozilla Firefox.  I am using a Windows 8 computer and I have not had the chance to see if it is compatible because of this box.  This is not a compatibility error.  I have a fully functioning internet.  It is probably one of  the highest speed of DSL in the nation.  I have a pretty good antivirus it is free but it is very accurate for being a free antivirus.  This is the first time using this format so I do not know if I can edit and/or update or not.  If I can I will. 

    Unfortunately, as malware gets more serious and browser security tightens down, playing SWFs from the local filesystem in the browser isn't really going to be feasible.  This is one of those features where if someone had proposed it in 2015, we would have just laughed and said "no way would we ever do this".  It's becoming infeasible in more and more browsers, and we'll probably just disable it once the majority of people have moved off of the remaining browsers that support it.
    So, you have two reliable options in 2015:
    1.) The Standalone Flash Player (aka the Flash Projector), which you can find here:   Adobe Flash Player - Downloads
         The game may actually need the browser, but this is a good way to deal with kiosk content and simple Flash games.
    2.) Run a local web server (WAMP or XAMP make this super easy on Windows) and access the content that way.
