Remove/Delete old, inaccessible sync device from account.

Hello, I am a bit of a tinkerer and a tech junkie. However, I still find sync to be a very useful and handy tool, and have it applied to all of my devices (tablets, phone, multiple computers). Due to my never-ending quest to make things better, though, I am frequently changing OS'es and uninstalling apps/rearranging registries on many of these devices, so I often find myself needing to reinstall firefox (and thus re-sync).
The only problem here is that sync recognizes each new iteration as its own separate device, even though a vast majority of them cease to exist entirely and are gone forever. This makes my "Tabs From Other Devices" page a huge pain to access, as most of the device names are the same and a lot still have active pages in them.
How would I go about deleting these old accounts from my sync account? Changing my password does no good at all, as since the devices cannot access the server any longer they are still present in my database, and as such are still annoying. Any help is appreciated!
Two pictures of the problem is as follows. As you can see, there are many apparent duplicate devices:

I have tagged the question as escalate. That may result in HelpDesk or someone knowledgeable about Sync providing an answer, but that may take a few days.

    Thanks

    Take a look at Metalogix ControlPoint, which will compare user accounts on SharePoint to Active Directory and remove accounts that no longer exist in AD (or are disabled).

  • How do I remove an old Palm sync device?

    I used to have a Palm Treo smartphone.  Worked great, but I eventually moved on to an iPhone 3.
    That was a few OS X versions ago!
    Now, I have Lion and an iPhone 4.  And I just noticed this error in my console log:
    12-01-04 3:19:46.791 PM SyncServer: [0x7fe69a416df0] |DataManager|Warning| Client com.apple.Palm:3297500208 image file path /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/Resources/tungsten.tiff does not exist.

    It seems at least part of my old Palm sync conduit is still around!  And not very happy.
    I don't use Mobile me.  And the iSync app is gone in Lion.
    So, how do I manuallly delete this old device?
    Thanks in Advance

    THANKS! for the reply.
    I'm Not sure I see the relevance of your link.  I used the predecessor to isync when I first used my Palm to sync data with my MAC.
    I don't thinik I installed any of Palm's software, so there are no old packages to remove.
    I assume the log errors are old sub-system functions or drivers still looking for the hardware and software interfaces.
    I thought the solution would be to find whatever lists sync devices and remove the Palm entry.
    Or just delete the com.apple.palm objects.
    I won't do either unless I can find some confirmation which path is safest.
    If I missed something in your link, please let me know.

    It should be under Store > View My Account > iTunes In The Cloud > Manage Devices. That screen can't be used to deauthorise computers, only change the automatic download status.

    How does one remove old signed apple devices from iCloud?  I erased devices, deleted backups, but they still show up.

    Hello Kalyan
    I raised an OSS note for this and below is the reply from SAP. Thanks for your support.
    Thank you for your query.
    To delete the old class their are 2 options available to you .
    1 )
    To delete the old class you have to remove the assignments of where
    it is used . Please access the old class in CL03 and then the menu
    path "Environment - Where used list"
    Once all assignments are removed you should be able to delete the class
    2)
    You could use a change number created in transaction CC01 to delete
    the class from the classification view.
    Please review note 166530 which explains about the deletion of
    classification data.
    Please refer to the online documentation at help.sap.com and the
    Classification section where it states :
    Once you have used engineering change management to process
    characteristics, characteristics of a class, or classifications, you
    must use engineering change management for all further changes.
    I hope the information is of help , please test carefully on a Non

  • 2012 R2 RBA: Remove / Delete buttons greyed out Administrative users account (sec role/scope) clean up

    I am seeing something odd with one of my RBA settings.  Keep in mind I am seeing this as a 'Full Administrator'.
    I created a new test Security scope, Security Role, created a test Active Directory group and then entered that AD group as a new account name under Security>Administrative users.  I added the new Security Role under the Security Roles tab of the
    Account name (Administrative users) properties and also added the security scope that I created under the Security Scopes tab.  I was able to see all the settings I had created/exported in the RBA viewer and everything with the role worked as desired.
    I am now looking to clean that up but I don't seem to be able to.  I am starting under Administrative Users>Account name and trying to unlink the Security Roles and Security Scopes that listed in those tabs.  However, remove and deletes on this
    stuff are all greyed out.  If I add another role to the Security Role tab I can then remove that, but I cannot remove this 1 particular one.  The result is that I cannot remove the custom Security Scope, Security Role and ultimately the Administrative
    user.
    Does anyone have any idea why I can't remove the security roles and scopes from the Account Name?

    I'm able to "delete" one admin user or group (account name) from Administrative users node (\Administration\Overview\Security\Accounts). I tried with custom security role/scope etc....even the same user was part of \Administration\Overview\Security\Accounts.
    It seems something wrong with your FULL admin account ? Do you've any other FULL Admin account? If so, can you try with that account?

  • Need to delete old time machine backups from a external drive

    was using a 500 gb external drive for time machine so when i upgraded to time capsule 2 tb i just started all over basically. i have these back ups abd videos i wanted to delete from the toshiba dr but appear and attempt to erase securely everytime i need to connect the toshiba to my mac to transfer stuff. i want to use this disk with whats on there like videos and music but i cant seem to figure out how to delete these backups...

    Don't try to transfer any old backups to your new TC TM backup drive. Just create a new complete backup. I hope you aren't someone that is trying to store files in a TM backup that you have deleted from your internal hard drive. That is not what TM is for and eventually those deleted files will be removed/deleted from the TM backups.

  • I Can't Remove My Old iWeb '06 Website From the Web.

    I can't remove my old iWeb '06 website, I have delete the original website files in my iDisk and even published a new website using iweb '08, but I can still go to the old website URL as well as the new one.
    I have read the apple support pages on removing websites and unpublished website and none of them are of any help because my old website does not exist in iweb '08.
    How do I eradicate my old site so nothing is left of it anymore and I have the space back on my iDisk.

    I would prefer not to announce the URL to the world on this forum, but I can say the old website still starts with the standard .Mac URL http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb and the new one until I set up to use my own domain was the same I believe.
    Empty the Cache has no effect I can still go to the URL and explore the various pages.
    I do not think that the .Mac websites are hosted from the iDisk location as I have defiantly deleted them from my iDisk and I have rechecked every file in the iDisk for any sign of them also my new iWeb '08 website never appeared in the iDisk. I would presume that the .Mac websites are hosted from a particular location on the Apple servers and I need to some how pull them off separately because publishing another new site with iWeb '08 has just left me with two sites and the old one remains and does not exist in iWeb '08 so I can unpublish it.

  • How do I remove an old version of Flash from addons after updating?

    I recently updated from Firefox 5.0 after a long period of not-updating to Firefox 22.0, and immediately had to update Flash (which I also hadn't updated in awhile as in FF5.0 updating past 11.2.202.235 borked Youtube). However, now I have two different listings in the Add-ons Manager for Flash, one for 11.8.800.94 and another, flagged as 'Shockwave Flash is known to be vulnerable and should be updated', for 11.2.202.235. I tried manually disabling it, but the next time I opened Firefox they were both disabled. Also, I'm having issues with Youtube videos stuttering and chugging (although, oddly, with no apparent drops in framerate) in Firefox after updating, that don't happen in Chrome, and I'm wondering if somehow thiis might be the cause?
    So I was wondering, is there a way to remove the 'old' Flash from Firefox? I already checked add/remove programs and there is only one Flash 11 there, at the date it was updated.

    Yes this is caused by a flash install problem, try removing it from the control panel (Both) and try again.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
