Is it possible to find the "Sync" key in my old Firefox files ?

I have "Backup" files from my old laptop. And there are probably 1000 or more Mozilla and Firefox files in the backup .... is there a way to merge that old information/files with my new Firefox account ?

Do you have a folder that contains places.sqlite and a bookmarkbackups folder? If so, that should be helpful in reconstructing your settings. This article has tips on that: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
Regarding the Sync key specifically, I don't know where that is stored, but perhaps you won't need it?

  • I reformated my PC and lost my sync key and I have my iPhone connected to Sync but cannot find my sync key in the iPhone app

    I have lost my sync key because I reformatted my PC and didn't have a backup of it and my only other device connected to Sync is my iPhone but I cannot access the sync key in the Firefox Home app. I really wish I didn't have to erase all my sync data as I have some important passwords and bookmarks saved only in Sync.

    I did. Safari could not open the show sync key addon and Firefox Home didn't even try to load it for some reason.
    The second addon install button is grey when I try to open it with Firefox Home.
    Thank you, I appreciate the help but I guess unless there's a way to get the sync key for example via sftp from the iPhone (I have jailbroken) I'm pretty much doomed. I tried looking around the Firefox Home app folder but could not find the sync key in there. If someone knows where to look for the key it would be helpful, in case it isn't encrypted.

  • Can´t sync movies with iTunes 11.1.4 (on Mavericks 10.9.1) to iPhone 4S with iOS7. Is there a possibility to reset the sync on iTunes?

    I produced some videos in iMovie 10.0.2 and transfered they to iTunes 11.1.4.
    That worked so far....
    After that I´ve compressed the movies for the use with iPhone and iPod
    .....also worked.....
    Then I tried to sync the movies to my iPhone4s with iOS7.0.4. The sync starts, runs and ends without an error. But after that I can´t find the movies on my phone. There is enough free memory on my phone and I also tried to shut the movie app and restart my phone. The movies are still not there.
    When I check what´s on my phone with iTunes (iPhone connected), iTunes says the movies are on my phone!?!?!?
    Maybe there are some troubles within a sync "library" or something like that? Is there a possibility to reset the sync services or whatever is responsible for the sync?
    Or maybe somebody has another solution which solves the problem!?
    The strange thing is that my music, books and all the other stuff will sync fine!
    Hope that someone can help me with this issue.
    thanks a lot

    I´ve fixed this issue as follows:
    1) did a backup of the iPhone in the cloud
    2) reset the iPhone in manufacturing mode
    3) restored the backup out of the cloud
    After that the sync with iTunes worked well also with movies.

  • How can I enter the sync key from my phone? Clicking "add a device" in Firefox 4b11 does nothing.

    I'm running Firefox 4b11 on Windows 7 and nothing I do allows me to add my phone to sync. Clicking on "add a device", "change password," or "My Sync Key" does nothing, so I can't even get my sync key to add the phone manually.

    You should be able to add a device by opening the Firefox Mobile preferences and then scrolling to the Sync section. Press the connect button and you will get a 12 character pass phrase. On your desktop open the options window and then the Sync tab then use the add a device button to enter the 12 character code from your mobile.
    If you are not near your computer you will need the Sync Key that was given to you when setting up Sync.

  • Where is the sync key saved, is there a specific file in which it might be saved? prefs.js or user.js?

    Hey all, I really hope I can get an answer to this issue because it's been 3 days a-crackin' with absolutely nothing certain.
    I had decided to fresh install FF because it had been giving me some trouble and what I thought should be a breeze ended up being a total disaster. I was using FF Sync and selected to sync my BM's, addons and prefs. Now to my surprise, upon re-installation, I found out I needed the sync key. I had never needed that so I never thought of saving it, also never knew this was a one way ticket to information loss... The worst part is that I didn't back up my profile thinking "Hey, everything is sync so what for" So for the past 3 days, I've been trying to recover lost/deleted files from my previous profile, hoping that I maybe get my hands on the sync key somehow someway in a certain file in plain text.
    If it is saved in plain text, in which file would that be. I'm using a friend's pc now because I dare not plug my HD now since there's a high risk of losing any possible recovery chances I have for the lost profile files (I'm using an external usb thingie and I'm using an undelete software to recover lost files
    On another note, is it really necessary to clear all sync data when requesting a new sync key? I get the security risks and all but isn't that why there's a username/password combo? I mean, no one would be able to reset my sync key/account unless they have my username/pass so technically I should be able to reset my key without having to lose the info in the account... and save a lot of people of lot of anguish... my 2 cents
    Fredo

    '''When''' you request a new Sync Key (Recovery Key) your data is wiped from the Sync server, so don't do that.
    Three things you need to connect to the Sync server - user name, password, and your Sync Key (Recovery Key).
    BTW, Sync really isn't intended as a backup medium as you are attempting to do. It's purpose is to synchronize your Firefox data across multiple different devices that you may own.

  • Where can I find the product key for Microsoft Office 2011 that I purchased on line?

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro to the Maverick operating system and now I have to enter the product key when I try to open MS Word, Excel or Powerpoint.  Where can I find the product key in my mac?

    Yet another example as to why you should always purchase software on disk whenever possible.

  • Is it possible to find the serial number of a device with which I signed into my Apple ID, but which was not registered?

    I bought an iPad2 about 2 years ago. It was stolen around 5 months ago, but since I had never registered it with apple, I gave it up for lost. Now I find it is possible to track based on serial number. Is it possible to find the serial number of my iPad without having registered it, since it has been signed into my Apple ID?

    Hi PinkNoiseChick,
    If you have ever sync'd with iTunes, follow Randers4 recommendation in this link:

  • How can it be secure when I did not have to enter the Sync Key on my synced device

    I have just set up Firefox Sync for v6.0.1 on my new Lenovo Laptop to sync all bookmarks, passwords etc from my old Lenovo Laptop.
    When I set up the account using my old laptop I was given a Sync Key which I stored on my old laptop.
    I then went to my new laptop to enter it as a device. I was given 3 sets of numbers to copy into my old device, which I did. The sync then went ahead successfully, but the new device was never given the Sync Key. So how could it decrypt all the sync'ed information? I can only presume that the sync is not secure, and that it was never encrypted during sync'ing. I not also that my password manager on my new device was not secured with a Master Password, so the passwords must have all been transferred in the clear. This is dreadful if this is really the case

    You should be able to add a device by opening the Firefox Mobile preferences and then scrolling to the Sync section. Press the connect button and you will get a 12 character pass phrase. On your desktop open the options window and then the Sync tab then use the add a device button to enter the 12 character code from your mobile.

  • HT4623 how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

    how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

    The same way you would sync with any other version of iTunes.
    Connect the device. 
    Select the device.
    Select Sync.
    In the new version of iTunes, the sidebar is disabled by default.  With a device connected, it will be listed in the upper right hand corner.
    If you want the side bar back, type Cntrl + S.

  • Firefox Sync: I cannot log into my account using the sync key that was given to me and nothing I do seems to fix it. Is there anyway I can "reset" my username? I'd like to reopen an account using my same username as opposed to starting from scratch.

    reading through that, it doesn't look like you were given up on Candice. you never replied to StarDeb's last set of questions in that thread. she was probably waiting to hear back from you.

  • Using column value is it possible to find the table name in the database?

    Hi all,

    guys i need the table value

    Hi,
    As far as I understand what you are asking for I would suggest 4 data dictionaries that will help you to know the table name from the column names
    1. USER_TAB_COLS
    2. ALL_TAB_COLS
    3. DBA_TAB_COLS
    4. COLS
    These can give you detail information about the columns and respective tables at user, schema, dba level. Further information on the table can be found by querying ALL_OBJECTS table giving table_name as Object_name, or you can join the data dictionaries too.
    To know about various data dictionaries avalible in Oracle please query select * from cat;
    Let us know if you need further assistance.

  • My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?

    Hi
    My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?
    Copying over photos via iTunes/iPhoto - there is a back-up file created (I can not turn it off) and it's now filling my PB-Pro.
    So I need to find it and trash it and start over.
    - Where is it located ?
    - What is it's name ?
    Yours Bengt W

    Thank You
    I found my iPhoto library
    ctrl-clicked on it and opened package/content
    here I found the iPod photo cashe folder
    copyed this to a safe hard disk
    then deleting it's content
    and my memory/free space on boot drive is back
    So I hope all's well.

    I have purchased Lightroom 5 and had it installed but I had to replace my matchbook pro and now I can't find the activation key - is there a way I can get it emailed to me or how do I find it? Most other plugin's email out the activation key so you have a copy but I have seen no way to get it.

    If you registered your Lightroom with Adobe after you installed it, you can log into your Adobe account and get your serial number from your account.
