I don't have the option to add a device on either the iphone or the computer. Both devices tell me to go to "add a device" and neither device give me that option.

I set up sync and downloaded firefox home which I opened. I clicked I already had a sync account and it asked me to add the passcode to my computer under add a device, which is not an option that comes up. Only thing that comes up on my vista computer is set up sync which tells me to go to add a device on my iphone which also does not come up. It is a never ending loop. I tried entiring the passcodes that come up on both devices in both devices alternating codes but none work and they also keep changing.

This happens when you PC disconnects from the sync server. If you go to Tools > Options and then the Sync tab in Firefox 4 and it's not showing your email address with options to manage your sync account, then you've been logged out.
From that window you need to press Connect and use the option "I don't have the device with me" which will allow you to reconnect to the sync server using your email address and sync key you first got when you created the account.
Once you've logged back in, the option to enter the phone's pass code will appear.

  • HT1212 i don't have the computer that my iPod was registered to and i forgot my password because i just found my phone after being lost for 2 years

    i don't have the computer that my iPod was registered to and i forgot my password because i just found my phone after being lost for 2 years. Idk what to do so i can access my ipod.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I got this ipad used how do i reset everything and i don't have the computer it was synced on, I got this ipad used how do i reset everything and i don't have the computer it was synced on

    I ask for help I had got a used Ipad from someone they didn't give me the passcode so I can reset everything. I don't have the last computer it had been synced on or the passwords for the store nor do I know how to change the email adresses. So does anyone know how to reset the passcode on an ipad with no computer or have it been synced on itunes.

    Plug into iTunes on any computer.
    Hold down the sleep wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Don't let go of the sleep wake button and press and hold the home button as well. Do this until the Apple logo disappears.
    Now let go of the sleep wake button but keep your finger on the home button for a few more seconds. The device should go in a mode that will enable you to restore it.

  • IPhone 5 disabled, forgot password and I don't have the computer I backed it up on. Help needed

    I have a iphone 5 that my daughter put a pass code on it and we cannot figure out what it is. I do not have the computer we originally synced and backed it up to. Everytime I try to restore a error occurs. Help and feedback needed and appreciated. Thanks

    Then you'll have to force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    This will remove the passcode.

  • If i don't have the computer i set up itunes on and i need to back up my iphone and itunes says i have five computers already authorized (which i can't believe we had five before)  how can i deactivate an old one so we can access it now

    we have an iphone 4s.  It needs to reset as the vibration has stopped.  We have a new computer that does not have itunes.  It will not allow us to set it up as it says we have five other computers we have set it up with ( i dont think we have owned that many ) but we dont have them anymore.  How can we delete or gain access now from the new computer.  Is it counting the five as we have ipods that have access.  Any help would be welcomed.  The phone is only a few months old.
    thanks in advance

    If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

  • My iPod Touch got disabled, but I don't have the computer that it's registered to anymore.

    A young family member of mine decided to play with my iPod Touch and put a passcode on it.  After several wrong tries and a fruitless attempt to get the little dear to remember what she put, it's disabled now.  I no longer own a computer (I'm submitting this on my PC at work.  Don't tell.) and can't restore it in the usual way.  Plugging it into any other computer has proved useless as the passcode keeps it from syncing with anything but the original computer, which is in a recycling plant somewhere in California by now.  O mighty hive-mind, any ideas?

    The passcode is very secure, and if you configured the iPod Touch to erase itself after ten consecutive incorrect attempts, its content has already been irretrievably erased. You will need to restore the iPod with another computer, not sync it as you have apparently been trying to accomplish. You will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • After I updated my iPhone 5 it said i had to connect to iTunes but i don't have the computer that i last updated my phone on.  I can't turn my phone on or anything.  HELP!

    I updated my iphone 5 today and when it finished it said to connect to itunes. But I have a new computer and have not synced my phone using the new computer yet.  Now my phone won't even turn on.  Any help would would be appreciated.  Thanks

    If it was showing the connect to iTunes screen it is in recovery mode and must be connect to a computer with iTunes.  Recovery mode erases all content and settings so there is nothing wrong with using another computer.  If you have a backup in iCloud use that to restore, or download the apps and songs you had on it.

  • Can I de-authorize on of my 5 computers already authorized if I don't have the computer anymore?

    Is it possible for me to de-authorize one of my 5 computers using another computer that isn't authorized?

    Yes you can de-authorize the computers without them being present. With your itunes open go to store, go down to my account. Enter your account information (it should just be email and password) then (this is the easiest method) deauthorize all of the accounts. Then for the computers/devices you do have just authorize them by putting in your apple id and password.
