I think sync just deleted all my data when I added a device

Summary:
1, Added new device,
2, device did not pull down information it pushed up to sync server
3, sync server did contain a few mb of data now it contains 19kb
Please help,
I added a device using my "Firefox Sync Key" not the three sets of numbers as i did not have access the the original machine that had my profile on it.
I checked the sync status, and I had a few mb on the history, bookmarks, pref, etc...
Once my new device had sat there for a while I went back in to check the data usage and it appears that the new device over wrote all my sync data? Sync size is now about 19 kb?
Please help as i did have some information information up there.
Tell me what I can do please?
Thanks,
Derry

Thanks, i've tried these, did not work
in "How do I set up Firefox Sync?" > "Get the code on another computer"
This is applicable to me:
But i did not have the device with me, so i entered my user name/password and "Firefox Sync Key" which i had taken from the original device.
As soon as i completed this I checked "view quota": it said a few mb.
After about 10 min I checked again and it said 19kb.
I just tried the reset ensuring merge data was selected.
And still nothing.
Thank you for your quick reply.

Can I alter my preferences in Safari 8 so that it doesn't delete all my data when history is deleted

I now have Safari 8.0.2 with Yosemite but have a problem when deleting history as it seems to delete everything, including saved passwords. Is there any way round this?

I thought maybe it would be a little easier to understand where I am getting all these numbers from if I gave you guys some screenshots.
Here is the information for the original files (pulled straight from the card onto the external):
Here is the information for the FCP Library:
Here is the information for the folder within the FCP Library called "Original Media":

"Track who downloaded what, when," however Adobe deleted all tracking data when forcing the move from SendNow to Send

I have transcripts from chats with two different Adobe employees (June 2014 and September 2014) who promised that Adobe had retained the tracking data (not the files). They said that the tracking data would not be available to users at the time of the transition from Send to SendNow, however both promised that eventually the data would be migrated from a SendNow account to the new Send account.
Adobe sold us all on being able to "Track who downloaded what, when." Were we instead sold a bill of goods?
Am desperate for an answer.

See my response to your other posting.

How Delete all the data in all BI Models, just the data but not the model

Hi Gurus,
i need to delete all the data of the cubes, PSA , etc , all the data of this models but not the model, how can i do this in a fast way? though a program? thanks

Hi,
I would prefer process chain, not program.
Create new process chain include data target deletion component and PSA deletion component. (Include corrosponding DSO/Cube/PSA names).
Run process chain.
Else you can search for FMs to delete contents from your targets.

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

Hi everyone, I had this problem but none of the solutions above worked. What happened with me, and with others in other forums, is that a particular thread or message was causing the problem. I'd go to open the message and all I'd get was a white screen with the blue bar at the top. So, I went into contacts, pressed 'send message' to a contact whose message wasn't causing the problem, then I pressed back to messages. You then swipe to the left on the thread that's causing the problem, and delete it. Sadly this means you will lose all that person's messages, but you can try opening it from there and deleting it on the thread. Didn't work for me though. Hope that helps! It was the only thing that worked for me after about three days of total frustration and resetting!

HT201269 How can I delete all my data from former Iphone 4 for future sale on Ebay?

Hello!
I've just purchased an Iphone 5 from a new carrier. Now I should like to sell my former Iphone 4 but, obviously, removing all my personal data (contacts, photographs, etc.) . How can I transfer the ringtones that I purchased from by Iphone 4?
How can I do it? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Maria

backup the device and restore it as new.
If you already have or don't need a backup:
Erase your device
Erasing all content and settings will delete all the data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.
To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. For more information about this feature, see iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'.
If you are unable to erase your device, restore the device using iTunes.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 for the exact steps.
Transferring ringtones isn't supported, as far as I know...

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

My iphone has just deleted all my contacts without any explanation. Any help?

Hello,
My iphone 4 version 5.0.1 has just deleted all my contacts without any explanation. Suddently my girlfriend called and I could only see her number, not her name.
I went to contacts and there was nobody in there!!! Even more, there are also no contacts on my ipad mini!!!! That's weird. What's happening?
I have gone to www.icloud.com and although there are some contacts, contacts are not synced with the latest updates, I also don't know why.
The most important thing in a phone are its contacts! I thought that apple was providing a complete backup solution, but I am afraid it is not reliable.
What can I do? What can Apple offer to me?
Is there a way of restoring an icloud copy directly from the iphone? I have thought on restoring and updating to ios7 and ask for icloud to put my backup copy of today in the morning, but it is possible that icloud does another copy and rewrites the 7am working copy. I have disconnected wifi in order to avoid a copy on icloud without contacts.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Jordi

Hi Jordi,
I have the exact same problem and judging by the other posts we are not alone. The one thing that seems to be lacking is any official word or support from Apple - a "bury the head in teh sand" strategy appears to be the chosen response from one of the worlds biggest brands.
I took it to my Apple store and they were about as much use as chocolate over gloves and told me "this can happen sometimes"???? Seriously, this from an Apple Genius!!??!?!?
I have not had any joy with iCloud back up so I'm afraid I cant offer any help.
I will be going to Twitter and Facebook to try to get some action from Apple so I suggest we all do the same and create a noise that Apple cannot ignore....

I just deleted all my photos off my i phone and didn't gain any memory

I just deleted all my photos off my i phone and didn't gain any memory

If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them. Restoring an iCloud backup requires first erasing your phone. If you have any newer data on your phone since the backup that you want to keep, you'll need to save that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Sign into your iCloud account and choose your last backup to restore to.
Make sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

I deactivated my apple id and want to add another id to my icloud acc,how can I do this without deleting all my data from my ph?

There is an option to delete the account, but then it says it will delete all my data, which I dont want to happen.

When you delete icloud account off your phone it will ask you if you want to keep or delete the data. You will choose to keep and will be ok. The only thing that will reset is photostream, so if that is a concern, back up your pictures.

I had to change my apple ID now how do I update icloud without deleting all cloud data on the computer?

My provider is terminating email service so I had to change my apple ID. I did that in iTunes but now my icloud on my PC wants me to sign in under my old id, I don't see a way to update to the new ID without deleting all cloud data on the PC. Is there another way so I don't have to resync everything from the cloud?

Check the list in the link below, how to change all services, after you changed your Apple ID:
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071
In particular, for iCloud:
Update your Apple ID or password on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV.
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you're signed out, enter your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm. You might need to enter your password. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter your updated Apple ID or password.

How do I delete all my data from computer mac?

The Startup Manager may be necessary if the 'C' key fails:
Use the Option key, when possible instead of 'C' key to boot discs

I think sync just deleted all my data when I added a device
