Unable to set up sync on new computer with existing iPhone

I have replaced my laptop and install Firefox 16.0.2. I have been unable to sync it with my existing iPhone Firefox app. It was working fine on my old computer, both running Windows 7. For my last attempt I logged onto my sync account and deleted it. Now trying to set up a new sync account and it says my email address is already in use. When I launch the Firefox app on my iPhone it goes direct to a screen that Firefox Home requires a sync account. I have deleted and re-installed the app but that did not help. I'm stumped.

Addendum: I tried all of the suggestions on the Firefox web site, but they do not match the options available on 16. There is not "Manage Account" option that I can find on 16.

Can i sync a new computer with my i phone

Can I sync a new computer with my i pad, taking the apps on the i pad with me.

This is the iphone forum.
See the response in your other post asking the same question.
You can transfer apps from the ipad. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

Setting up new computer with existing library

Just got a new computer with Vista. Have current iTunes library on an external HD. (old computer running XP) Can I just plug the HD in and have all my playlists and settings? Or could someone point me where to find info to set this up? We've got 3 iPods running on this library and am hoping this is easy.

See this recent discussion where I think I cover everything that may also apply to your situation as well. Post back with any questions...

How to set up bundle on new computer with SSD and 2 TB harddrive?

I bought a new computer with a 120 GB SSD and a 2TB datadrive. I have 16 GB RAM and am runnung windows 7 home edition (64-bit operating system). I just have my OS on the SSD which now only has 75.2 GB free. I searched on line and tweaked the SSD to get the most space. From what I've read many suggest putting all your programs on the SSD (which I think will fill up very fast) and just using the Datadrive for pictures, files etc. I'm thinking that maybe some should be loaded on the datadrive and maybe the one that need it could be put on the C: SSD. I have no idea!! Looking for advice. I bought the Production Premium bundle. Thanks for any help!

Addendum: I tried all of the suggestions on the Firefox web site, but they do not match the options available on 16. There is not "Manage Account" option that I can find on 16.

How can I sync my new iPad with my iPhone and Gmail?

I just purchased an iPad air. I want to sync the iPad with my iPhone 5c and my Gmail account. Everytime I go to add go to add an email account it tells me my gmail password is wrong. How can I sync these devices? Thanks Jenni

When you add the account to the pad it should work just fine. You are doing somethjing subtly wrong with the password as you are setting the account up.
Try again, and pay real close attention to not only the password, but the other entries as you set up the account.
If you get frustrated, simply go to google, and reset your passwoird to something new that you will easily remember, then use that password. You will need to change the pword in your other devices as well to match the new one.

Every time I sync my iCal computer with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications?

Every time I sync my iCal on my computer through iTunes with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications? I have been doing this for several years and this problem is a more recent issue, like in the last 6 months. I have been deleting the duplicate entries, on both systems, but some duplicates reappear through "general" entries that are connected to the correct color for a Calendar, but not the name. I am going nuts and wasting tons of hours trying to get the 3 calendars to sync without generating duplicate entries.

Choose one of the Calenders on ONE of the computers OR the MobileMe as the Master / correct account.
The REINITAILISE the data of MobileMe within preferences on the computer defining the datatransfer correctly (in the advanced box of preferences). The synchronise iphone contacts and calender directly on-line to MobileMe.
I posted a question on this today, and gave my own reply !

HT1386 How do I sync library on new computer with old iPhone

When I bought my iPhone, I was required by my company to sync with my work computer. Of course, by iTunes library is on my home computer.

Hooking up new computer with existing Verizon DSL

Hello, Bought a new desktop PC today, with Windows 7, replacing my old PC with Windows XP. Some **bleep** questions that I hope you experts can help me with. Will I simply be able to hook everything up on my new PC as on my existing PC and I'm good to go? Will I need to run my Verizon DSL set-up CD (which I'm not sure I have)? Will my home wireless network (2 laptops) be affected? Thanks, everyone.

Not a problem Let us know if you need anything else.

HT5577 When I bought a new computer with Windows8.1, iTunes wouldn't accept my old ID and password, so I set up a new ID and password. Now I can't locate or sync my old library of music onto my iPOD. Any ideas?

when I bought a new computer with Windows8.1, iTunes wouldn't accept my old ID and password. After entering a new ID and password I got in, but now I can't sync the music that was in my original library. When I try to sync a message says that music will be removed from "other" libraries, so I know they're out there somewhere. Just can't get to them. Any ideas?

- Is the computer authorized for the iTunes account(s) used on the iPod?
- Are you syncing or manually managing music?
- In iTunes if you go to Preferences and then go to the Devices tab, what date is show for the iPod backup? Is if before you switched computers?
- Your iPod sees the new computer as a new library/computer and you can only sync to one library. You need to restore you iPod from a backup. If that bacup is hosw in Preferences, restore from that backup.
- If the backup is after you switched computers, you have two options:
--- Try to make a backup by right clicking on the iPd under Devices in iTunes and selecting backup.
--- If you can't make a backu, can you get one from the backup of your old computer. It is located here and yu may have to have show hidden files turned on.
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Iphone back-up/sync to new computer

I just purchased a new macbook pro but i am unable to back up my iphone to the old computer.. its been 8months since my last back up, will i lose all my new info?? is there anyway of saving it before it sync it to my new computer??

If you can, copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one following one of the methods described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527. Also copy any synced data such as contacts, calendars and photos synced to your phone. If you can't do this, without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer, then go to preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will prevent automatic syncing when you connect your phone. Then follow this guide to establish syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:

How can I sync my ipod 6g. to a new computer with out losing all the info

My computer is starting to fail so I bought a new one. How do I sync my ipods they are 6 gen to the new computer with out losing all the data that is on the ipod?

Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4? And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4? And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer. I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting. Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc. That's not the issue. It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
Thanks.

Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone). Very clear.
However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer. How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?
