I set up Firefox Sync but did not enter a secret phrase.
Now Sync wont allow me to log in.
How can I get in to rectify this issue and why is it even possible to do it in the 1st place?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today

it didn't solve the problem for me. Nowhere i could see anything related to a secret phrase before that login screen on my mobile… What is it about? I tried different phrases (to set it up) but nothing worked out.

My daughter has been trying to buy 78 games on the app store but didn't know the password. Now it won't let me download any free apps without entering my billing info, I don't want to in case it charges me for the games? Is there any way I can clear them

Hello all
My daughter has tried to download paid apps, she is three so is forgiven but I don't want them and certainly don't want charging for them.
Only issue is its now wanting me to enter billing info when I download a free app

How can I get a prepaid iTunes card?
Buy one from the Apple Store or retailer who sells them. Since you don't say where you are, I can't tell you specific store names.
How much is it?
They're issued in denominations. In the US, they start at $10.
what would be the procedure for me to pay that money I owe, since I dont have another credit card?
Redeem a prepaid card or gift certificate.
Your only other option would be to contact the iTunes Store, explain the problem, and ask if they'll cancel that 99-cent purchase. There's no way of knowing if they will since the terms of sale state that all sales are final, but you can ask. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to contact them.
Regards.

I'm trying to set up firefox sync but the "set up sync" option under Tools doesn't exist.

I saw this question was posted previously but no answer was given. Under Tools, I only have the option to click Sync now, but nothing happens when I do. I'm also not aware of having set up a sync about previously.

Enabling HomeSharing on a computer doesn't make anything to appear on the left bar.
You need to setup at least two computers and have both running iTunes, then the iTunes side bar will show you the shared libraries.

I must've mistyped something while setting my master password, and now it won't let me log into my laptop..

Unknown error when trying to set up Firefox Sync

I try to set up Firefox Sync but as I fill in my e-mail address on the first line i first get the message "invalide e-mail account" (or similar) but then when I continue to complete it with [email protected] it just says "unknown error". I have tried several different e-mail addresses on two different computers but the same annoying unknown error message keeps coming up.
What am I supposed to do about that?

I set up Firefox sync from my old computer. This has had its hard drive replaced and been sold. I now want to retrieve the information and got my bookmarks on my new computer. I can't see any way to do this!

Help please

To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.

After installing Firefox again, I wanted to get back my settings, bookmarks etc. by syncronising with Firefox Sync but accidentaly settings from a fresh browser

After formatting the partition and installing Firefox again, I wanted to get my settings, bookmarks etc. back by syncronising with Firefox Sync but accidentaly settings from a fresh browser was uploaded and now I cannot have the browser the way I used to have. Is there any way to reverse this changes?

Hi zoomy,
First check that you still have data in your sync account.
Firefox button > Options > Sync > Manage Account
It should tell you how much data is stored in the account. Is there any?
If there is still data in the sync account then you can follow the instructions in this article [[What is Firefox Sync?]]. Refer to the 'How much of my data is synced?' section. Change the option to 'Replace all data on this computer with my Sync data'.
I hope that works for you.
If there is no data in your sync account you will be able to get it back by syncing from another computer. Just make sure that the settings on that computer are not replaced by the blank account again. You can use the 'Replace all other devices with this computer's data' option to prevent this.
Please note that Firefox Sync is designed only to sync details between devices not as an online backup tool. If you are formatting a partition it is generally best to backup your profile folder along with any other data. See [[Managing profiles]] for more detail.

I am trying to load Firefox Sync but I do not have a Firefox button at the top of my page. How do I get to options?

I want to load current bookmarks to a new computer and then have those bookmarks available on multiple computers. I've read the tutorial on Firefox Sync, but I do not see a Firefox button on my page. How do I get to options?

Never mind. Found it. I did not have my menu toolbar clicked when I installed the new version.

I'm trying to set up a iTunes allowance account for my 11 year old daughter, I set up the account but put in the wrong email address, now it's trying to send the verification email to an old addy I no longer have access to. Help.
I've tried looking at my own itunes account but I cannot seem to find the allowance account, it says I currently have zero allowance accounts.
All I want to do is change the assigned email address.

Who is the email provider? Not all accounts can be set up as POP3

I am having trouble downloading a whole playlist to my phone. Parts of the playlist will sync but there are still a lot of songs that won't. I have plenty of space to hold this playlist as far as I can see. Any help is appreciated.

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

I have a iphone 4s with ios 8.3 and I used to be able to sync only a week or two of emails from outlook email. Now it won't let me do that and it syncs all my inbox. How can I change it back to sync less. I can't find the right place.

I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available? Any idea why that would be?

Apple set my iCloud storage at $40 without asking or telling me. They won't let me contact them to fix that unless I pay for support. Nor will they let me downgrade. How do I talk to Apple?

Have you actually been charged? Did you convert from MobileMe? If so, you'll be automatically put on that plan, but revert to the free one when your current one expires.

I set up Firefox Sync but didn't enter a secret phrase; now it won't let me log in.
