Sync is not activating on my new PC - Missing account name

I had Firefox 6.0.2 set up on a previous PC build. I used the Sync tool within to back up my settings before reformatting. I created an account and was given a Sync key and I backed that key up. I reformatted my machine, installed a new copy of Firefox, and have had no luck gaining access to my Sync account.
I have verified that the Sync account works via the https://account.services.mozilla.com/ website, as I can log in there with no trouble.
I have followed these steps:
1) Clicked Options
2) Chose Sync
3) Clicked Set up Firefox Sync
4) Clicked "Connect" under "I already have a Firefox account"
5) Clicked "I don't have this device with me"
6) Put in my account name and password that I used to log into the account services site listed above.
7) Selected "Firefox Sync Server"
8) Pasted an exact copy of my Sync key into the Sync key field
9) Clicked Next
The system attempts to connect to the Sync server (by what I can tell) and then fails with the error "Missing account name". I would like to be able to connect to the Sync site to get all my settings back.

Thank you for the notification, cor-el. While I found the information helpful, I didn't necessarily consider it a solution. I attempted Sync usage again last night and it has apparently worked. My copy of Firefox on my new installation now has all of the Sync data it should.

  • ITunes not syncing "computer not activated"

    iTunes will not sync anything (apps, music, books) i bought on the ipad. It keeps telling me that my "PC is not activated". But after activating my PC in "Settings", it tells me that my PC is already activated....and the initial message "PC not activated" reappears. The Apple-Hotline had nor answer for me at all.
    As a first time Apple buyer, i expected it to be less frustrating than the usual stuff. Seems i was wrong!!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Why would I get a notice that my redemption code is not active on a new, previously unopened version of Elements 13 for Mac?

    I bought a new, unopened version of Photoshop Elements 13 on eBay, but when I enter the redemption code to get my serial number, I get a notice that "this code doesn't seem to be active." I've triple checked the proper entry of the code. Any suggestions on what could be wrong? I'm running Yosemite 10.10.2. Thank you.

    I suggest that you Contact Customer Care.

  • "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Missing account name. Please try again."

    This is the error message displayed at each attempt to sync a second computer from a Firefox Sync account (Firefox button > Sync Now OR Options > Sync > Manage Account > Reset Sync).
    I have connected two computers following this process:
    [[How to sync...|http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20sync%20Firefox%20settings%20between%20computers]]
    On the secondary computer, the Options > Sync dialog box shows that my account is logged in (i.e. my Firefox Sync user name is displayed).
    What is Sync looking for that isn't already provided? From the primary computer, the connection is completed without errors. On the secondary computer, Sync attempts produce this error message. Any help provided would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Partitioning not active BW oracle 9i

    Hi,
    I'm installing BW 3.5 based on windowsNT/oracle9i. I've found solutions to the problems so far, but now it seems that partitioning is not active and I don't know what to do. Still, the option has been installed with the database but the parameter is not set in the table V$version.
    The problem appeared when I tryied to create a transfer structure in BW.
    How can I activate partitioning in oracle 9.2 ?
    Thanks in advance for your help !
    Laurent ALLAIS

    The Oracle partitioning feature is automatically enabled during installation of the BW system.  If you have completed a normal installation, and the partitioning feature is not active, this points to something missed in the installation.  Perhaps you have obtained your Oracle installations (and licensing) directly from Oracle, and not through SAP.  If this is the case, you should contact Oracle about the partitioning feature.  If you completed a normal installation, and for some reason the partitioning feature is not active, please open an SAP customer message on this topic.

    By the way, I agree with sybrand: you need to tune
    your redo log size.
    Regards

    Ignacio,
    The excessive waits on log file parallel write and the related client wait of log file sync may be due to insufficient CPU availability, and may not point at an actual redo log size problem or a problem with the disk speed where the redo is written to disk, especially if there are 3 Oracle instances on the server with a single CPU.
    Paraphrased from "Optimizing Oracle Performance":
    The log file sync wait event is one of the first events to show increased latencies due to the time a process spends waiting in a CPU wait queue while processing excessive logical IOs.
    Kevin Closson wrote a couple blog entries that examined the potential problems of insufficient CPU capacity and its effects on log file parallel write when writing to solid state disks, and even when writing redo was explicitly disabled:
    http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2007/07/21/manly-men-only-use-solid-state-disk-for-redo-logging-lgwr-io-is-simple-but-not-lgwr-processing/
    "Once LGWR loses his CPU it may be quite some time until he gets it back. For instance, if LGWR is preempted in the middle of trying to perform a redo buffer flush, there may be several time slices of execution for other processes before LGWR gets back on CPU..." Fix the CPU problem, and the other significant waits may decrease.
    JesusLuvR,
    yingkuan's suggestion to look at the SQL statement that performs the 4,365,564 logical IOs, consumes 186.03 CPU seconds, and has an execution time of 225.06 seconds, is likely a very good starting point. You might also want to check the value of the SESSION_CACHED_CURSORS parameter to see if it needs to be adjusted.

  • Have synced iphone 4s but it is still not activated what can i do

    Tried for 5 hours to activate iphone 4s (att) wirelessly with no luck.  Connected to itunes and synced it just fine.  Phone is still not activated.  What can I do?

    Call ATT and have them make sure the ICCID and IMEI numbers from the phone are correctly on your account.  These appear on the sticker on the back of the phone's box.
    I had problems all day, and ended up making a genius bar appointment.  They quickly came to the conclusion that my phone was defective and handed me a new one.
    Good luck...

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
    I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
    Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
    The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
    An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
    Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
    I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
    I would appreciate if someone could help me out. 

    If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
    Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.
