SYNC Key

To whom it may concern,
I’m currently trying to log in to the Firefox Sync and according to your systems, this SYNC Key is not a good key.
The left side of your screen is the saved copy of the Key when I have re-created one.
Please verify the server is not having any problems.
This is not the first time I had to re-set my key, but why do I have to keep doing this and lose all data?
PLEASE NOTE I HAVE AN IMAGE WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU, PLEASE PROVIDE EMAIL OR OTHER WAYS TO UPLOAD
Regards,
Kevin Law

Hi Rogerio:
1). Execute transaction MEREP_PD,Go to Mobile ID Tab and enter your mobile ID# 71 and then click "Refresh Replica Data base", this will delete data for your Device ID.
2). Execute FM "MEREP_RDB_S01_RESET" from SE37 with your SyncBO Id to reset your replica database.
3). Execute Transaction MEREP_EX_REPLIC with your SYNCBO Id, you should get new data in the Replica Database.This is same as choosing the Synchronizer Tab in MEREP_PD and then replicating the DB for your SyncBo after you enabled it the first time.
After doing this,do a sync from your MI Client again, this should get a new sync key and try posting it now.
Regarding, Updation the BAPI Wrapper will update only the Tables/Structure in the backend system, the system that has been defined under RFC Destination in the SyncBo eventhough those tables exist in the MI Server.Because when there is a RFC Destination(which is not local) assigned in the SyncBo, it will never call the BAPI Wrapper in the MI Server and it don't even have to exist in the MI Server.The BAPI Wrapper has to exist only in the Backend System.If you still want to update something in the MI server then you have to do special coding in the BAPI Wrapper in your Backend System to update the tables in your MI Server.

How do I use existing sync key after Windows clean install?

Hi,
I had setup Firefox Sync on my old Windows 7 install and I have the Sync Key given during the set up. I had to clean install (format C drive) my Windows.
Is there any way I can use the old Sync Key to get all my bookmarks and stuff back?

The problem has resolved itself...
...despite spending several pointless hours trying to delete the existing BootCamp drivers without success, I finally restarted Windows yet again - and this time I was easily able to delete the existing drivers.
I then restarted my Mac, installed the latest drivers without issue and it all works just fine.
Windows, eh?!

When I try to sync my desktop with my laptop, which has all my bookmarks in Firefox I get the same boxes for setup. No where is there a place to in put my sync key that I have saved when trying to sync on my laptop I think.

I put all the details in my question. On neither my desktop nor my laptop does a place pop up for my to enter the sync key that I have saved when I was trying to learn about Firefox and clicked on the sync. At the time I just thought it was for my cell phone which does not have access to the internet. Now that I have saved all my bookmarks from yahoo to Firefox on my laptop. I also want them on my desktop and did not want to go thru what I did on my laptop saving them one at a time. I had to do it this way because I could not get them to import or export or whatever. Besides the last time I checked yahoo had their bookmarks locked up because they are working on them. I could not add nor delete anything in yahoo bookmarks. They are in some transition that will not be complete until the 20th of October and this has been going on since around the beginning of September. So I really would like an easy fix to my problem.

I know you can't help with my Yahoo problem, however, apparently at some time in the past I have went to the Sync and tried to figure it out on both my laptop and my desktop, because I have the long snyc key information. However, when I go to try to sync both computers I never get the box to enter that key on either one. That is my problem. So should I try and get a new sync key and see if that works.

I have a sync key, and have a new computer terminal, but when I enter the account details I created, it syncs nothing with my new computer. How do I fix this?

I have a sync key, and have a new computer terminal, but when I enter the account details I created, it syncs nothing with my new computer. How do I fix this? There is nothing showing up when I sync with the sync key from my old terminal.

I recently had to do a wipe on my laptop. I saved the sync key but there was no mention of a sync account prior to doing the wipe. I saved the key and when I did the wipe it asked me to make an account, which I had not done, but now I am seeing no where to put in a sync key code. did they make them unusable now or something?
</blockquote>
You are probably trying to use old Sync with Firefox newer than version 29,
and they did make old Sync unusable on fresh installations of newer Firefox.
You can uninstall that newer Firefox, then install Firefox 29 from here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/29.0.1/
Apply your sync key code, then update that installation to current Firefox,
then migrate to new Sync:

Is there a way to have FF Home remember me, so I don't have to input the sync key, user ID, and password each time? (Perhaps something to do with that "add a device" passcode they completely ignore in the instructions for setting it up?)

Or is my device just having issues, and it SHOULD remember me each time? It's too much hassle to go copy out my sync key each time from where I've saved it in the Notes app, so I almost never use FF Home - I just google or try to guess addresses in Safari, then bookmark them there. (Can one import bookmarks from Sync to Safari? That would help!)

Well if you want a "single signon" experience, the Workstation will need to de join to the domain :-) otherwise it will prompt for the Username and password for authentificaiton.
You can then check the save password box.
For remote user that are NOT on the domain, same behavior, you will be prompted to enter Username/Password.

I lost my Sync Key on my Desktop Firefox, but i still have it on my Firefox Home (IPhone 4). Is there a way to restore it/show it on the mobile device?

I'm trying to resync my newly set-up Firefox on Mac OS X. Somehow it never occured to me, that i'd have to save the key.
So is there a way, as stated in the title, to restore my Sync key from the mobile device, without deleting all of my Bookmarks etc?
thanks in advance

Hi,
Sorry to read that. Unfortunately, because of security reasons, there's no way to retrieve your Sync key from any mobile device. That's why it's really important to keep a secure back up of it.
The only remaining option at this stage is to save your bookmarks on the phone and manually migrate them to your computer. Once you have done this, reset your account.

I lost my sync key when my harddrive was wiped, so how do I get a new sync key without deleting my saved data?

I synced my firefox bookmarks so that I could reupload them if ever my computer got wiped, so I don't have a second device with the sync key on it. I made the mistake of only saving the sync key on the computer. I just got my computer back from the shop and they wiped my operating system without asking. Now I don't have my sync key and the only way to access my sync account requires that I change the sync key and delete all the data saved on the server. How can I get access to my data?

Sorry, without your Sync Key your data is worthless, it can't be de-crypted, and creating a new Sync Key will wipe it from the Sync server.
BTW, the Firefox Sync service isn't meant for "backups", it is meant to synchronize your Firefox data between different "devices". Any chance you had more than one device setup with that Sync account? If so, you can use the Sync Key from that device.

I don't get "Manage my Account" when I select the Sync tab, but if I try to create a new account it says my userid is already in use. How can I get my password & sync key?

My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.
My Firefox version is 4.0.1.
When I try to setup Firefox Sync, I get a choice of "Create a new account" or "Connect".
The first tells me my email address is already in use, but selecting the Sync tab does not give me "Manage my Account."
How can I find out my password and sync key?

Hi Russ!
Apparently you already configured your account but you don't have nor the key or the password. You can get the password in the [https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot following link] but you would need the Sync Key to sync your device to the rest of your devices.
If you don't have the Sync Key the best thing you can do is to reset it, by deleting the previous account and creating a new one with the same user. You can perform this tasks from your [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ account dashboard].

I have a sync key, have installed Firefox 28, but it won't recognize my account?

Ok. Firefox was my main browser on my old laptop, but I ended up having to wipe it's hard drive a few weeks back.
Before I wiped the hard drive I saved a recovery key. It did not say that I needed an account, just the key, so that is literally all I have. I did not have a firefox account back then. (Note: I'm pretty sure I didn't have an account at least, because when I searched for an account on Firefox with the only two emails that I use it couldn't find an account under either.)
Now that I'm trying to recover my old data, I've read that I have to download a pre-29 version of Fireox, so I got Firefox 28 mobile, but the damn thing insists that I need a Firefox account ALONG WITH the recovery key to gather the old data. It won't recognize my new account info (that I just made when I downloaded the newest version of Firefox before realizing it wouldn't be able to sync), so now here I am. With a seemingly useless sync key, a useless sync account, and all of my old bookmarks and passwords lost to the ages.
Is there anything I can do, or should I just give up?

hello, for the old sync system in firefox 28 and below you also had to sign up with a mail address and password originally - to connect firefox to the old account you would need to have all those three pieces (mail, password & recovery key) available to you unfortunately...

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.

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.

Synced firefox, saved firefix sync key and made format to my computer, now I can't get it synced with formated computer - what can I do to get my passwords and bookmarks back?

I synced my firefox and made format to my computer. I was hoping I can sync formated computer with my user. I even saved "firefox sync key". But now I can only make new sync and can' get my old passwords and bookmarks back. Is there any way i could get my passwords and bookmarks back?

Add that computer to the Sync service as a new device.

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.

How do I get the android version of Firefox to show my sync key OR export my bookmarks?

This is so aggravating, I have spent hours and hours now trying to get my bookmarks out of my Android device, to no avail.
There are two addons out there, none of which work with the current version (18) of FF.
So I took the about:synckey plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/aboutsynckey/) and updated the install.rdf with the android GUID and bumped the em:MaxVersion. Now it installed! WOHO!
But didn't work. :-(
Googling I managed to find a post in http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941765?page=2 where cor-el points out that the code is wrong. So I make the fix: The call to get the key should supposedly be 'Weave.Utils.hyphenatePassphrase(Weave.Identity.syncKey)'.
I reinstall and try again, but no dice. I try to insert an alert. No dice. The Javascript doesn't seem to fire.
I try on the desktop, and it works! Well, I don't have a key, but the alert fires as least.
Does Android require signed packages for JS to run, or what am I missing here?
The fact that there is no way to get the sync key out of FF for android NOR export bookmarks is, to use a strong word, retarded. Googling around there are many many threads from people who have, like me, lost their recovery key. It's aggravating because the data is there. I have my bookmarks on the device. I know the key is in there or it couldn't decode them. There's just no way to get at it because everything is locked down.
The JS looks like this (oh great, no preview here. How nice):
<script type="application/javascript;version=1.8"><![CDATA[
window.addEventListener("load", function onLoad() {
window.removeEventListener("load", onLoad, false);
Components.utils.import("resource://services-sync/main.js");
let synckey = Weave.Utils.hyphenatePassphrase(Weave.Identity.syncKey);
document.getElementById("synckey").textContent = synckey;
}, false);
]]></script>
One thread suggested 'jailbreaking' and then somehow exporting the sql-lite(?) database containing the key, extracting it from there. I'm not doing that. This isn't supposed to be hard, this is supposed to be three clicks and you're done.
For the love of all that is holy, someone add Export Bookmarks to the Android version so we can get on with our lives.

This is because the directions you are seeing are out of date. They applied to Firefox < 10.
The only way to get data out of the Firefox for Android profile is to use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/copy-profile/
This data is not directly importable into Firefox desktop. It would require some inspection of the SQLite databases to accomplish what you want to do.

I format my hard drive and now dont have a sync key to access to my account, please help me!

Please Help me! My computer was infected by a virus, and I format my hard drive and reinstall the OS. Now I installed Firefox 4 beta 10 but don't have access to my sync account because i don't the "Sync Key" and don't use Firefox in other devices... please please help me to access to my account I need recover my bookmarks and configuration, Thanks.

Sorry, without your Sync Key you're out of luck. It is used as the decryption key for the data that is stored on the Sync server.

How Can I get my bookmarks From My Sync account without my sync key after a hard drive crash?

My Computer Hard Drive crashed before I could back up my Sync Key or add another device. How can I get My bookmarks from my sync account without resetting the sync key and wiping my data?

Not from Mozilla. Nobody knows your Sync Key except for you. <br />
Is that hard drive usable at all? Like as an external disk in a USB hard drive enclosure?
If so, you can recover your Firefox data from that drive. <br />

Your old Profile is located here in Vista & Win7: <br />

Make sure that you unhide "Hidden files and folder" in the Control Panel > Folder Options -> View

Firefox Sync: I cannot log into my account using the sync key that was given to me and nothing I do seems to fix it. Is there anyway I can "reset" my username? I'd like to reopen an account using my same username as opposed to starting from scratch.

reading through that, it doesn't look like you were given up on Candice. you never replied to StarDeb's last set of questions in that thread. she was probably waiting to hear back from you.
why didn't you reply?
