My original computer is no longer available, how do I reset my sync key?
I am no longer able to access the original computer so I can't determine what my sync key is. I need a new sync key with my existing mozilla account.
It needs to be connected to a network to have a chance of locating it - which could be wifi or 3G (if it's a 3G model). And that also applies to if it is rebooted, it would still need to be connected to a network after it reboots. If the iPad is reset (i.e. wiped) then you won't be able to locate it as your info will have been removed from it. If it is lost in another state then you may still be able to locate it (with the above network proviso), but as to whether you could then get it back would depend upon the police in the other state.

I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?
I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.KRDHarris-
The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius. See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.

Unable to make an in-purchase. App says the account and apple ID dont match and i must install the app.. The original app is no longer available, the game and account were updated. Thank you
You will need to login on the device using the same exact Apple ID that was used to download the app. You can not use abother account login to buy in app purchases to prevent fraud.
If you keep getting this warning, you are not logged into the original account. -
I have tried words I usually use for passwords and they don't work. If I knew the acceptable format for the sync key, I could try others. But maybe the sync key is the same long number they originally sent me. I am in Chile and my laptop hard drive crashed and I needed to replace it. I can't access my sync key on my desktop in the United states but I want to download my syndc data to my laptop with the new hard drive but I dont have the sync key and I dont want to erase the sync data on the server by resetting the sync key.
I'm sorry but "you should have written it down" simply isn't a good solution. Having the keys at all is a bad idea in my opinion. The keys should be stored in your account and if you authenticate with a password, it should use that key. If you can't keep your password private or secure, that's your problem. The problem with the keys is, you can't delete your account and "start over" if you so wish. What happens if your machine locks up after you sign up and you have no time to write down your key?
You can request a new password, but can't be reminded of your key? This is nonsense. I have had no such headaches with XMarks and I'm trying to find a reason to keep using firefox sync with such an obviously user-unfriendly approach. We're humans, not machines. -
The computer that contained my music library and videos is no longer available, I bought an iPhone but I want to put my music and videos from my iPod touch in it, how do I do it?
This user tip should be helpful. It refers to the iPhone, but it's equally valid for iPods as well…

I have a used Iphone 4S that I am trying to unlock but don't have the original computer and don't know the password, how can I get by this?
The only thing to do is to follow the information on the support document that you linked from that talks about not syncing with a computer. Read further down. You will have to restore the phone as new. Also, make sure you have the Apple ID and password for the original owner that activated the phone, unless they have already deactivated Find My iPhone.

How can i get my sync key from mobile firefox (android)?
I logged in to the sync in my desktop browser and then set up syncing with firefox for android but i recently reset my firefox config and computer isn't connected. Because i lost my sync key i can't connect it again. If key can be retrieved on connected pc why it shouldn't be possible on my mobile too? How can i do this? I even searched my mobile about:config.
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.

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.

How do you deauthorize if the home computer is no longer available?
We had to purchase a new home computer recently. The other computer was the primary for Itunes. How can we deauthorize other computers from Homeshares now that we do not have the primary computer any longer?
If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

Itunes Match-original computer is no longer associated
I joined itunes match last spring, using my imac. Then I added my iphone and finally my ipad in July.
I just got this message on my imac when I tried to sign to imatch: This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 69 days.
I haven't used a different apple idea on my window. My kids have different apple ids. I was looking at their music and trying to get so I could share some of theirs (hey, I pay for it!) - and put some of it in the "shared" file. Did that trigger something? Any way to undo all this?The only thing to do is to follow the information on the support document that you linked from that talks about not syncing with a computer. Read further down.

hello,
its been a while since i change my email count. I have song the I bought with the old email. i have the files but i can no longer play them beceuse itunes is asking for the password under that old email. the files are under itunes ID*************** Idont have acces to the old email anymore. my new apple ID is*********************** how can i fix this problem since i have a couple of songs under my old apple ID that i can play?
<Email Edited by Host>It's not a good idea to post your email address on public forums, I've asked the hosts to remove them.
All content is tied to the account that downloaded them, and you can't currently transfer them to a different account. If you don't know the password to that account then you can try getting it reset via this page http://iforgot.apple.com . If you can't get it done that way then you can try getting access to the account by contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. If you get access to it you can then change the primary email account on it to one that you have access to : http://appleid.apple.com
