Was I automatically enrolled in Sync? If so, why?

I have never enabled Sync or created an account, but after updating today I noticed that I was signed in to a Sync profile. The e-mail address of the Sync profile was the same as a g-mail address that I created while using Firefox on this computer. However, at no point did I ever actually sign into Sync or actively tell Firefox that I wanted to Sync my bookmarks, etc. I have actively told Firefox that I do not want to sync anything from this browser every time it has asked. The Sync account that I was signed in under used the same password as the g-mail account I created, which is incredibly disturbing since I never provided that password to Firefox. That would seem to indicate that Firefox somehow spied on the password I entered when creating a g-mail account, which is NOT acceptable behavior from a browser. Can someone please explain what's going on here? I've never told Sync that I wanted to Sync data, nor have I told Firefox that it could use that log-in information.

There's nothing in Firefox to automatically enroll a user with the Sync feature.
What in Firefox are you seeing that leads you to believe that you are enrolled in Sync? ''(and where are you seeing it?)''

HT5622 My IPhone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with iTunes- why???

My iPhone will no longer back up to my computer automaticall when I sync with iTunes- why

Probably because you have elected to automatically back up to iCloud instead. You can still manually back up by clicking Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, it just won't be automatic.

I have just upgraded from Lightroom 5 standalone to Lightroom 6 standalone. I appear to have been automatically enrolled for a 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. Reading the FAQ, it appears that after the expiry of the free trial, if I do not sign up and pay, I will only be able to view my pictures on the desktop but not edit them - surely this cannot be true. How do I un-enroll for the 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and CC?

When I was signed into Adobe (which was a requirement for installing the upgrade), Lightroom 6 told my at the top right corner that I had 30 days left of my free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. In parallel with this forum posting, I am chatting with Adobe support. he is away to find out how to prevent any synching with Creative Cloud during the 30 day free trial. I do not think that Creative Cloud is an application that gets installed on your PC. I think Lightroom 6 has it built in, and can use it if if you are signed up to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Mobile (which I am for 30 days)

Complete music was deleted automatically

My complete music was deleted automatically. I inserted everything in iTunes again. Next day it was gone again. I couldn't find anything at the support.

Hello va_nessss ,
Just a little additional information to supplement the advice you have received above.
You may already be using the iPod in manual update mode in which case you can ignore the rest of this post. In manual mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased. However, if your iPod is set for automatic update, when you connect you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, click *No*. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. Change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" Managing Your Songs Manually
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.
Just to reiterate the iTunes Warning.
If at any stage iTunes brings up a dialogue window asking whether you want to replace the songs on your iPod with the songs in iTunes, press "No". Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod.

IPhone 4s will not AUTOMATICALLY wi-fi sync with iTunes

I can manually Wi-Fi sync my iPhone 4s with iTunes without any problems (settings -> general -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> Sync Now.) The problem is that this is the only way that it will Wi-Fi sync. It will not automatically Wi-Fi sync with iTunes when I plug it in to power each night.
I'm running iTunes 10.5 on Lion, iPhone 4S. iPhone is set to backup to iCloud. It does backup to iCloud each night, just no iTunes sync.
Any ideas why it won't automatically Wi-Fi Sync to iTunes each night?

I'm giving this a try to see if it fixes it: On my Mac under iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices, the box was checked for "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." I'm hoping this fixes the problem.

Always Access Denied when choosing Automatically Enrol and Retrieve Certificates from MMC

I am using 2008 R2 Certificate Services to issue certs across multiple forests (although don't let that muddy the waters).
I have a need to issue certificates for use with s/ldap, so I have duplicated the Kerberos cert and removed all Intended Purposes other than Server Authentication and configured appropriate security to allow Domain Controllers/Domain Admins to enrol.
The certificate also requires CA Manager Approval.
Everything looks good - I am able to enrol for the cert via the MMC, the request goes into pending, and I am then able to issue the cert. However, when I go back into the MMC on the Server that requested the cert and choose All Tasks | Automatically
Enrol and Retrieve Certificates, I choose the pending cert and then get Access Denied.
On the issuing Server, I get an Event 21 in the App Log:
Active Directory Certificate Services could not process request 8466 due to an error: Access is denied. 0x80070005 (WIN32: 5). The request was for CN=server.domain.com.
On the Server that requested the cert, I get an Event 9:
Certificate enrollment for Local system was denied by servername\Issuing CA when retrieving the pending request for a SecureLDAPCertificate certificate with request ID 8466.
The strange thing is, if I follow this procedure but using the certsrv website, it works fine and I can install the certificate.
What am I missing? Or is this one of those random quirks of AD CS?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.
According to the error messages you provided, this can be a permission issue.
The method of Autoenrollment for a certificate depends on an Active Directory. Considering using Certsrv website was successful, the problem can be that the requester does not have enough permission to access the certificate template in Active Directory
To autoenroll a certificate template, a user or computer must belong to a security group that is assigned the read,enroll,and autoenroll permissions.
Only groups that are assigned these permissions are enabled for autoenrollment.
Could you please answer the following questions for us so that we can troubleshoot the issue more effectively?
Are the issuing CA server and the requesting CA in the same forest/domain?
regards
Ted

TS3992 what does it mean that my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when i sync with itunes?

What does it mean that "my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with itunes", if I turn my icloud backup to "on"? This doesnt sound like something that will make things smoother? I just recently lost all my calendar events and I am hoping to recover them.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can either back up to iTunes or to iCloud, you you choose to back up to iCloud, back up to iTunes will be turned off. Personally, I'd always back up to iTunes unless there is a good reason not to you.

My friend gave me his old touch, however it won't sync with my new mac but it charges the itouch so i was wondering how i could sync it to my iTunes.

Does the iPod show up in iTunes on the Mac? If not try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
also
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Otherwise what happens when you try to sync? Note that you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. If that is the problem you should go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase and content and setting and set up the iPod on you computer/iTunes library. One content on the iPod does not belong to you.

My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account?

My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account? I have a ton of bookmarks/saved password and the only way to get on sync is create a new recovery key and lose all of my information.
Is there any way to get my stuff back without creating a new recovery key and losing all my old stuff?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Thanks Winston, thats the first thing I wanted to do but I dont see any Annual Plan (like I had), only monthly plans, and they said that as I got a Storage Plan before September 2014 I would be "automatically" updgraded to a new annual plan with reduced pricing. Dont know how I can get it now.

I am using my ipad 2 ( bought in USA) for about 3 years. 2 weeks back the touch gesture was completely out of control and the screen was jumping automatically to so many applications. I attempted to get original settings through settings menu, but unfortunately while resuming when I typed a pass code the touch gesture , without control it typed unknown passcode and while confirming the passcode as well same thing happened.
Now my Iapd2 is disabled and itunes also not recognizing my ipad.
I kindly request you to help me to fix the issue.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

'Item type' was changed automatically

Hi,
I created a shopping with item type 'service', and its product category was configured as 'automatic bid creation', so a RFx was created automatically.
The problem is, the item type in the RFx was changed to 'material' from original 'service', is it correct?
Thanks.

Try this:
alias backup="blah-blah-blah && echo 'All is done correctly.'"

My Macbook drive was replaced. If I sync my IPod Touch I'll lose all the old data on my IPod. Can I restore my iPod data to my computer?

My Macbook drive was replaced. If I sync my IPod Touch I'll lose all the old data on my IPod. What do you do when you buy a new computer or have a new hard drive? Can I restore my iPod data to my computer?

See this article for details: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Or do this:
Make sure your Mac is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your MacBook.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

i can manually sync from phone or iTunes on MacBook but will not auto sync.

Good day dexv,
There are three conditions that must be met in order for an iPhone to sync automatically over Wi-Fi. It sounds as if you have met one of them, can you check to see if the other two are met as well?
See this article -
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iTunes using Wi-Fi - Apple Support
The iOS device will sync automatically when the following conditions are true:
The iOS device is charging.
iTunes is open on the computer.
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,
Brett L
