When I try to det up a sync account it says "email already in use"but I don't have an account

I went to "Tools", then "set up sync", then "create a new account". I try to type in my email address and it says "already in use". I dont have a sync account. How could it be "in use"

Hi,
This specific [https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot link] should help you. Just enter your email address and you would receive a message with the information required to reset completely your account so you can start fresh. There's no need to create a new email account. Just make sure that no one is using that account, because any data already stored in the system will be erased.
Let me know if you need any extra information.

  • When I try to sign into my sync account it says that there is not such user.

    When I try to sign into my sync account it says that there is not such user. I do NOT want to register again, as doing so has a perverse way of creating duplicate accounts. I also have an account password file to keep track of user login data: user name, email address used, password, so this is not a matter of just forgetting the account name etc. I just updated to Firefox 29, though this could be coincidental.
    I use windows 7, with latest updates & patches.

    Firefox 29 introduced a new sync mechanism. This new system has only been around for about 2 months, so it is likely that you actually don't have an account. You can see help information for the new Sync here: [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]].

    we have a router at home that is supposed to support 10 devices but when i try to connect my mac book pro it says another device is using my computer's ip address

    Are the IP addresses statically assigned (wrong ), or does the router give them out using DHCP (right )?

  • I can't download the Sandy Relief album that I pre ordered. Apple sent me an email saying it was available but when I try to donwload it I get a message saying I already have, which I have not.

    .Apple sent me an email saying it was available but when I try to donwload it I get a message saying I already did. I checked the store menu and it indicated that there is nothing available to download. I don't have the songs or the album showing in Itunes anywhere. Not sure what to do.

    Hi OverratedBacon,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would first try downloading the songs from your past purchases by following the appropriate steps here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    If you're still unable to receive your preorder, you may want to report this to the iTunes Store:

    Try using these instructions and create a new account. You have to use an email address not used with Apple before.

    Restore the device from the most recent backup (prior to restoring as new) to put everything back the way it was.

  • When I try to download the new version of firefox my computer (MacBook Pro) tells me I don't have enough priveleges to carry this out

    # Question
    When I try to download the new version of firefox my computer (MacBook Pro) tells me I don't have enough priveleges to carry this out

    If there are 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/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 if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • When I try to open iPhoto (9.2.1) it says 'You can't use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of OS X.  All my photos are on there.  Please help.  Thank you

    When I try to open iPhoto (9.2.1) it says 'You can't use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of OS X.  All my photos are on there.  Please help.  Thank you.

    Did you upgrade to a new MacOS X version? Then you need to update iPhoto as well.
    Only iPhoto 9.6 is compatible with MacOS X 10.10 Yosemite.  Update from the Mac App Store.
    Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Check the "Updates" tab of the App Store for an iPhoto update and run the update.
    When you laugh iPhoto after the update, it will warn you, that the library needs upgrading, That may take a while.
    Just in case that you see a warning, that the update is not possible because of an error message: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, but do not empty the Trash, so you can put iPhoto back, if need be.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

    Hi,
    If you have not already I would change the Slide size to something that has a 4:3 Ratio.
    The Buddy maybe trying to scroll left and right to see the whole slide although this shoud be controlled at you end.
    I would open the Connection Doctor during a Chat  (iChat's Video menu).
    Check that both Bit Rates are relatively stable (there is always some variance.)
    Anything over 5% particularly if over 500kbps is likely to be causing problems.
    You could try limiting the Bandwidth (iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section) to 500kbps at both ends
    It may pay to drop to 200kbps as a test.  (you may lose the Side by Side presentation at this speed).

  • When I try to create a new sync account using my email address, the response says it's alreay in use. I imagine this is a relic of my old foxmarks account. Is there a way to release that email account from the old version, or to reover the password?

    I've gotten an iPhone, and downloaded the Firefox browser to it, and I'd like to sync the browsers between my iMac and iPhone. When I enter my email to create a new sync account, I'm told that it's already in use, but there's no option to retrieve my password.
    Any idea how to get around this?

    Try the options at https://services.mozilla.com/ and see if you can't recover the password.

  • Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded." I do have an ID account and my software has been updated.

       Hello there, I'm new to the Apple world, and I'm still learning my way around.
    Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded."
    It doesn't ask me for payment or anything. When I click on download, about 10 seconds later, that message pops up and nothing is downloaded onto my laptop. I can download other stuff onto my laptop for e.g. Microsoft Word and other various programs such as Google Chrome from the internet. However, I just cannot download from App Store. Any suggestions on how I can download apps?

    There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
    I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
    Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

  • When I try to sign in, I get a message saying its already running, and I have to restart my computer each time.

    I'm not sure how much more info I can give...When I go to sign on after having been on and shutting down, I get a message indicating an application of Firefox is already running and need to shut it down or restart my computer. As Firefox is not running, I have to restart my computer each time to get back on.

    Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
    NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.
