Lost bookmarks on pc, need to sync them from android to pc, reset recovery key, no bookmarks.
Ok, so here goes. I had to do a fresh install of windows 7 and was not able to back anything up before doing so because of a Trojan. After reinstalling Firefox on the new OS I attempted to get my bookmarks back from my sync account that's connected to my android phone. It let me on the sync account after resetting the recovery key (there is no way to view it on Firefox for android) I click sync now and now none of my bookmarks or history is syncing from the server to my PC. Is sync a one way street? From pc to phone but not the other way around? I really need these bookmarks... I do have root access to the phone and looked in data>data>org.mozilla.firefox>databases but I do not know how I would go about importing the database data to my PC. Is it possible to either 1. sync my bookmarks from android to pc or 2. Copy and import the database file manually? Thank you.
If you've reset the sync key then that action has removed all data stored on the Sync server, so you can't even recover it with the (correct) previous sync key.<br />
The sync key is only used locally to encrypt your data before it is uploaded to the sync server, so it is vital to have a backup of the sync key.

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy. -
How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto
Your photos are gone. When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone. In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos. Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app? -
Where is the photo button in the new version of iTunes? I need to sync photos from the computer?
On iTunes 11 you can re-enable the sidebar via View > Show Sidebar. To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from you library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos -

Need to sync apps from my friends iphone to my ipad using itunes. How can be that done?Please advise.
Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

Why am I missing artwork only and exactly for the albums I downloaded from the iTunes Store when I then sync them from PC (non-Mac) to my iPhone??
And why can I not find a way to post this message to Apple Support without paying 35 Euros?Thanks, randers4,
I don't do auto-sync. Too much music on my PC for that. I manually copy and/or delete.
And I did delete the iTunes-acquired albums from the phone and then copied them back on:

I lost my contacts - how to I restore them from my computer backup?
I need to restore my contacts on my wife's iPhone. They mysteriously disappeared and I want to restore from her computer iTunes /backup - but when I plug the iPhone in - it begins to "backup". I'm afraid if I allow the "backup" to proceed it will wipe out the computer back-up and replace with her "empty" iPhone contacts.
Can I simply "restore" the lost contacts from the computer?If you have them synced to a supported application on the computer. If the phone begins a backup as soon as you connect it, then you want to go into Settings in iTunes and turn off automatic syncing. From there, you can choose to either sync the contacts if you have them in Address Book, or Contacts, or Outlook, or restore them from iCloud, or if you have a backup of the phone, you can restore the phone to the last backup that had the contacts on it.

I have an iphone 4 16 gb and got an ipod touch 64 gb because i needed more momory. i need to sycn everything from my iphone 4 to my ipod touch 5th gen i just bought. i just downloaded the latest version of itunes as well. To be honest, the newest version of itunes is hard to use and not as user friendly in my opinion - or i may not know how to use it yet. Anyways, i tried to backup my iphone to itunes and then restore my new ipod from the backup of the iphone 4, but it only backed up phoyos, contacts, and two other things (games was not one of them). Then when I restored my ipod, that is all that downloaded onto the ipod as well. I would really appreciate if someone would be able to provide me with detailed instructions as to how to be able to download everything from my iphone 4 to my ipod touch 5th generation. Thanks in advance!

Doesn't iPhoto negate the need to sync photos from my windows laptop?
My confusion started here.... https://discussions.apple.com/message/20512109#20512109
Then I thought I had it solved!
So I created Journals and I could share them with anyone via the web - super!
BUT.... I have just deleted the photos from the photos app and my journals are empty?!?!?!?
I thought the photos uploaded to iCloud?
Confused!!
What about the photos I have on my windows laptop? I dont want to have organise/store all my photos on my laptop and sync them each time I make an update.
Doesn't iPhoto get around this? Surely?
Or am I completely missing the point?
Any help with my confusion would be VERY much appreciated.
Cheers.So I created Journals and I could share them with anyone via the web - super!
BUT.... I have just deleted the photos from the photos app and my journals are empty?!?!?!?
I thought the photos uploaded to iCloud?
The journals are uploaded to iCloud, but synced and edited with the one device that created them. When you create them with your iPhone, you have to keep them in the camera roll of your iPhone.
I recommended the journals, because they are the only way to get photos into iCloud for more than a month. The photo stream entries will vanish after a month. The journals may live longer, and they are synced to the version on your phone. The advantage of journals is, that you can browse them from the web on your other devices, so you do not need to import them on the other devices, like the PhotoStream.
What about the photos I have on my windows laptop? I dont want to have organise/store all my photos on my laptop and sync them each time I make an update.
Now I am confused. How many photos are we talking about? A lphoto library can grow very quickly. You will not be able to store all your photos on the iPhone in the long run.
The general idea with iPhoto in the iCloud is to have a selection of your best photos with you on your mobile device and to upload it to iCloud to share the best photos with all your other devices. But your main photo library shoud be on your main computer with plenty of disk space, maybe on an external disk. iCloud only has 5GB of free storage anyway, and that is also needed for your other documents, mail, etc.
Are you running out of space on your laptop?

Can I view the passwords in my sync account? I've lost my hard copy & need to retreive them
I need to find lost program access passwords
You can find the sync password and the sync key in the password manager on the computer where you originally created that sync account (email).<br />
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
Look for:
* chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Password)
* chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Encryption Passphrase)
If that isn't available then you can request to have a new password send to the email address that you used.

Lost iTunes on computer and need to transfer them from iPod
I had an external hard drive with all my music, photos etc saved on it, but it was in a bag that got stolen, so now, the only place it's all stored is on my iPod (30GB).
Firstly, if I take my iPod and MacBook into an Apple Store, will they transfer it all back to my computer? If not, how can I do it?
And also, now I', scared to plug my iPod back into my computer in case it syncs everything and I end up with nothing on my iPod either - is there any way to stop this happening?You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. -
Laptop died. lost outlook. need to sync contacts from phone.
I lost a lot of outlook data (messages, calendar, tasks, and contacts) when my laptop died. I tried to sync the phone, but I am afraid that it will wipe out my contacts on the phone, too. I can't be without them. I also wondered if I could somehow back up the lost data from the files I managed to save - or if that would be wise - on outlook. I use ToDo to sync with my Outlook tasks and have not been able to sync that, either. All my tasks are also on the phone only.
Any wise techies out there that can walk me through the steps to salvage and sync?Thank you for helping. And I have not used Zune for anything besides music, so I wouldn't know about that. I know they are phasing them out, and was not suggesting that it is anything compared to the iPhone (I adore my iPhone and mostly use it for photography - which there's just no comparison). I was just saying that the sync and data transfer interface is not user friendly - as far as music and outlook data. I haven't tried syncing to Google, but that's another option for the future as I might just migrate away from Outlook if I have to go through this much more.
I probably should try and find someone to help me "fix" my Outlook before I sync the data - since all this might be a moot point if I were able to salvage the data from my hard drive and somehow bring my Outlook back to life on this new computer. Just afraid that it might be corrupted - since the other computer was destroyed by a virus.
