Lost recovery key and need to retrieve current data

Yeah.
It's a really nasty situation.
In order to get back into Sync i have to generate a new recovery key
But the recovery key generator will mangle the synced data.
Is there any way to retrieve the data?.
I haven't been able to sync with Firefox on Android and few days ago my harddrive gave up so I had to reinstall windows.

If you don't have a 2nd device connected to that Sync account so you can "pair" them, AND you don't have the Sync Key that was used to encrypt your data as it was being uploaded to the Sync servers, you data can't be recovered.
Did the reinstallation of Windows save any of your old data files? <br />
Like maybe the \roaming\''user''\app data\Mozilla\Profiles folderset?

HT5577 I lost recovery key and trusted device, how do I rescue my funds on account?

Lost recovery key and trusted dev, and need to transfer balance on account how do I do this?

You will need one of your trusted devices to be able to change your password : Apple ID: Can't sign in with two-step verification - Apple Support
Nobody else should be able to download from a new device or computer unless they have access to two of your password, a trusted device, and your recovery key. You are sure that they are using it e.g. there are a number of phishing emails doing the rounds saying that something has been downloaded on an account and to click on a link in the email if it wasn't you that made it so as to request a refund (i.e. so that they can capture your password and payment details).
If they are 'proper' purchases then you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Unfortunately if you lose the password and the recovery key you are not able to decrypt and access the information, that is the sole purpose of BitLocker.

HT5577 how do you sign in to apple id to make changes if you lost recovery key..

how do you sign in to apple id to make changes if you lost recovery key and removed one of my trusted devices they are both still associated but only one is trusted my macbook pro is still trusted but neither it or the 5c can get pass the log in section where it asks for the recovery key!!!!!!!!
<Edited By Host>

Going to need a lot more info on what your are trying to do and why you are doing it.
Signing into an Apple ID is easy. Open whatever needs and Apple ID and sign in using the ID name, usually a email address, and the password associated with that name. you will then be signed in.
And please refrain from the profanity.

Hello aweirandyski.1975,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device. You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.
iCloud: Activation Lock

HT6170 lost password id apple and lost recovery key

I lost password id apple and lost recovery key,how to reset my password

Do you have another trusted device for two-step verification?
See: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
What if I lose my Recovery Key?
If you lose your Recovery Key, you can replace it any time:
Go to My Apple ID.
Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your password and trusted device.
Select Password and Security.
Under Recovery Key, select Replace Lost Key.
When you create a new key, your old Recovery Key is no longer usable.
and
What if I forget my Apple ID password?
You can reset it at My Apple ID using your Recovery Key and one of your trusted devices.
Apple Support can't reset your password for you. To reset your password, you must have your Recovery Key and access to at least one of your trusted devices.
if you have neither your AppleID password, nor your Recovery Key, nor a trusted device, not even Apple can help you to get access to your account.

HT204152 Apple ID Disabled & Lost Recovery Key (Two-Step Verification)

If you use Two-Step Verification:
If your Apple ID is disabled "for security reasons" AND you lost your Recovery Key ALL HOPE IS NOT LOST! Speaking from a recent, nearly devastating experience, I hopefully will provide some relief to others in the same boat...
After speaking to several customer service representatives who basically told me that without the recovery key, there was no way to access my account and everything would be lost forever, I finally spoke with a senior customer service representative that actually understood my issue (most thought I just forgot my password).
As it turns out, my account was locked due to too many incorrect PW attempts (not exactly sure how that happened). I was prompted to go to appleid.apple.com and when trying to log in, prompted to enter my Recovery Key. I couldn't get further than that. What I didn't realize and the other reps didn't tell me was after 8 hours, the account is unlocked. I was then able to log in at applied.apple.com and verify my account using a trusted device. I was then able to create a new recovery key (and print it out and put copies everywhere so this wouldn't happen again!).
Lessons Learned: 1. Don't lose the Recovery Key again! 2. When talking to Apple Customer Service, ask to speak with a senior customer service representative. 3. Wait 8 hours without trying to log in and your Apple ID is unlocked again.

we all have had unsatisfactory results with entry level CS techs. Your advice to be assertive about speaking with a Senior Tech is sound and where I have ALWAYS found satsifaction. Methinks the proprietary Customer Service Knowledge Base may be running the same software as our forums - Terrible searching is a rule here. - the other two suggestions are very good as well - ÇÇÇ

I lost my iPad and need to change my apple ID.

Hi Everyone
Please help before I hit my new mac with a sledge hammer!!
I recently lost my ipad and need to change my apple ID. When I go to the ID page it gives me the option of changing any of my details except my ID which does not have an edit button next to it. How can I change the ID itself and would I lose access to my existing apps if I did change it? I have spent hours signing out of every feature on both my mac and iphone but how can i do this from my now lost ipad and would it make any difference if i could? I am very confused and frustrated with all the apple jargon on the help pages and support communities. Please can somebody help by talking english to me??

Why do you want to change the ID? If it's because you've lost your iPad just change the password so that the person now in posession of it can't get into your iCloud account.
If you really want to change the address which forms the ID you can do this at http://appleid.apple.com provided that it isn't an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address - if it's one of those that would explain why you don't have an 'edit' button and you can't change it.
It you were able to change the ID that won't affect your access to apps since the account itself remains the same, though of course the login has to be changed on every device signed into iCloud or iTunes.
If you are going to change either the ID or the password you must turn of 'Find My iPhone' on any device it is enabled on or you will find yourself in difficulties.

IPod classic: itunes tells me that my ipod is in recovery mody and needs to be restored. It then says that when it is restored that it will appear in the left sidebar however it never does. any ideas why??

I haven't used my iPod in a few months so I charged it up, updated my itunes and everything was going fine. However when I connected the iPod to the computer and went into itunes, a message kept popping up telling me my iPod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. I clicked on the restore option then a message telling me my ipod had been restored popped up, it also said that my iPod would appear on the left sidebar of itunes once it had restarted and to leave it connected to the computer. The apple symbol appeared on the iPod and it appeared to be restarting. While I waited for the iPod to show up in itunes it turned itself on, after another few minutes the original message popped up telling me that the iPod needs to be restored. I have tried this many times but to no avail. I have also carried out numerous procedures said to solve this problem including changing the letter of the iPod drive but still nothing works!!! I don't know what else to do!! Has any experienced the same problem? Any ideas on how to get this working??

Hey saandyy,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You can try to restart the iPhone to exit recovery mode.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.

I lost my HD, and need to get my only backup of my songs off my itouch

Help, I lost my HD, and need to get my only backup of my songs off my itouch.
but i cant access teh HD like in my ipod...how do i copy my songs from my itouch back to my new restored Windows PC HD?

OMG...I have a Ligit question and no one here will answere me...can someone just answer my question...is there a way to restore my music from my itouch or not...it seems like a 101 questions, all I get here is the run around.
And IF I wanted to Steal music I would use Bittorant or Lime Wire, not wasteing my time doing it like this.
NO its not dead, and I have a copy on my Seagate External Drive...BUT...Its something I could do with my iPod...so I want to know just in case...it seems that the itouch has a lot of limitations, restoring music from the itouch may be one of them, I am trying to decide if I should just return this thing and stick with my old ipod, I want to be sure I am not losing anything with this, especially if there is no restore feature.
Also theres another reason, the xBox used nto be able to read teh old ipod and this new itouch it cant, I was able to play th ipod from my xbox console.
Unless I can "see" the music I doubt that the xbox will be able to read it either.
Why does it take 5 times asking the same question just to get a yes or no...and if yes then how?
