I have now spent 2 full hours trying to sync Firefox on my desktop pc and my android phone. Won't work, even as I have followed every instruction correctly.
I went to FIREFOX, SET UP SYNC. I created a new account (email address, password twice, checkbox for Terms & Privacy, anti-robot box). On a separate tab, a screen appeared with the message "Set up complete!" I closed that tab, then went to the pc's PAIR A DEVICE screen, entered the code which appeared on my phone's SET UP FIREFOX SYNC screen, then hit NEXT. The phone immediately showed activity (an animated horizontal box), along with the message "Waiting for other device".... After 7 minutes, the phone defaulted back to the SET UP FIREFOX SYNC screen with a new code in the 3 boxes, and the pc defaulted back to the SET UP SYNC screen with 2 buttons, SET UP SYNC and PAIR A DEVICE. Somewhere in the above process (I can't recall exactly where...), the pc asked me for a RECOVERY KEY -- which I could not find anywhere, neither on the phone nor on the pc. I repeated ALL of the above at least 5 times, always with the same non-result. Somewhere in the instructions, it described a "Manage acct." button for Sync accts. -- NO SUCH BUTTON APPEARS ANYWHERE, neither on the pc nor the phone. My specs.: Firefox 15.0.1 on pc, Firefox 16.0 on phone...... phone is Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000...... Android version: 4.0.4....... I'm very good at following instructions, but the Firefox Sync help pages describe buttons which do NOT appear on my devices and recovery codes which do NOT appear anywhere. Please, please help -- so much time invested already, so much frustration..... Thx.
When you open the desktop sync page (Tools > options > sync) does it look like the image below? If it does not then sync is not setup on the desktop computer.
If that looks similar then the other half would be to get an [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en aLogcat] log from your device when attempting to pair the device. Following the directions at http://160.twinql.com/how-to-file-a-good-android-sync-bug

I tried to download the ios updates and now my phone will not work. I receive a screen that instruct me to connect to itunes. When I connect to itunes, i am told that i must restore factory settings. When i attempt to restore factory settings, i receive an error message that an unknown error has occured (3194)
There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

We tried to upgrade to Firefox 4.0.1, but now all that pops up is a screen that says "your computer needs to reboot to complete an upgrade" but even after reboot, it still pops up everytime I try to open Firefox. It will not let me uninstall either. Firefox will not open at all.
I got the same problem. I tried everyting.

I have spent the last hour trying to upgrade my IPhone to IOS 7 using ITUnes. Now, my phone wil not work at all. I think it is backed up on my computer, but I am unable to get it to download to the phone. What to do?
Thanks, as it still will not work, I assume it is damaged and needs to be sent in for repairs.

I want to remove the Persona I selected and return to the Firefox default. I have outlined the issue above. I have followed the instructions in the FAQ's. There is no selection for Default for Firefox.
Do you see that persona on the Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes page?
Does that persona have an uninstall button?
If that doesn't help the reset the lightweightThemes on the <b>about:config</b> page
lightweightThemes.isThemeSelected -> false
lightweightThemes.usedThemes -> (empty string)
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily. -
I currently have an I5 and as with the previous I4, both buttons have failed and now my battery lasts almost six hours if I don't use it. I cannot upgrade my phone until March, 2015 even though I recently upgraded my phone to the More Everything Plan. Am I destined to be a nonuser for three months until I can upgrade. This is very unacceptable as I've been a Verizon Wireless customer for probably 20 yrs!
As a 20 year customer of ours, we certainly appreciate your loyalty Richey_Rich. I know the importance of ensuring you have a properly operating phone. Can you please clarify which button on the device is not working? Is there any physical or water damage to your phone? Any applications that stay running?
Thank You,

I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier, and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to." I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

I'm trying to update Firefox on my Macbook Pro, and it says I don't have sufficient priviledges, and I don't know how to fix that!

MBP = MacBookPro
Are there other accounts? Is it possible Firefox was installed on one of them?

just tried to sync my ipad with my macbook and the ipad seems to have frozen and i can't switch it off or open any app
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

I have iphone4 and MacBookOSX10.4.11; I'm trying to sync an itunes purchased game from my book to phone and it says I need to update to itunes10. Problem is my MacBook won't accept that version so how do I get the game on to the phone? When I tried to buy it from the phone itself (as I have others), it wouldn't because over 20 MB
You need to purchase a retail Leopard install disk or Snow Leopard upgrade disk(if your computer meets requirements for SL). Then update iTunes to 10.1 or greater. Check eBay or Amazon for retail Leopard Disks. You can also try calling AppleCare.

i am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?
Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again. A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone. You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.
