Where is the sync key saved, is there a specific file in which it might be saved? prefs.js or user.js?

Hey all, I really hope I can get an answer to this issue because it's been 3 days a-crackin' with absolutely nothing certain.
I had decided to fresh install FF because it had been giving me some trouble and what I thought should be a breeze ended up being a total disaster. I was using FF Sync and selected to sync my BM's, addons and prefs. Now to my surprise, upon re-installation, I found out I needed the sync key. I had never needed that so I never thought of saving it, also never knew this was a one way ticket to information loss... The worst part is that I didn't back up my profile thinking "Hey, everything is sync so what for" So for the past 3 days, I've been trying to recover lost/deleted files from my previous profile, hoping that I maybe get my hands on the sync key somehow someway in a certain file in plain text.
If it is saved in plain text, in which file would that be. I'm using a friend's pc now because I dare not plug my HD now since there's a high risk of losing any possible recovery chances I have for the lost profile files (I'm using an external usb thingie and I'm using an undelete software to recover lost files
On another note, is it really necessary to clear all sync data when requesting a new sync key? I get the security risks and all but isn't that why there's a username/password combo? I mean, no one would be able to reset my sync key/account unless they have my username/pass so technically I should be able to reset my key without having to lose the info in the account... and save a lot of people of lot of anguish... my 2 cents

'''When''' you request a new Sync Key (Recovery Key) your data is wiped from the Sync server, so don't do that.
Three things you need to connect to the Sync server - user name, password, and your Sync Key (Recovery Key).
BTW, Sync really isn't intended as a backup medium as you are attempting to do. It's purpose is to synchronize your Firefox data across multiple different devices that you may own.

Where is the delete key??

i switched to mac recently, in windows i had (delete) key and (backspace) key, but in my mac, there is only (backspace) key. where is the (delete) key??

There is no backspace key on a Mac keyboard. The Delete key is on the upper right on the keyboard, and if you have a Pro keyboard, there is another smaller delete key underneath the F13-F15 function keys, along with help, home, end, page up and page down keys.

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?

Is it possible to find the "Sync" key in my old Firefox files ?

I have "Backup" files from my old laptop. And there are probably 1000 or more Mozilla and Firefox files in the backup .... is there a way to merge that old information/files with my new Firefox account ?

Do you have a folder that contains places.sqlite and a bookmarkbackups folder? If so, that should be helpful in reconstructing your settings. This article has tips on that: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
Regarding the Sync key specifically, I don't know where that is stored, but perhaps you won't need it?

Where is The "Home" Key in Logc

I am new and fairly inorant, but very enthusiastic about logic, so please forgive this simpple question. Can some please tell me where is the "Home" key in logic? I would like to go back to 1 1 1 1 at any given time by utilizing this key. I am aware that double cliking on the play button in the trasport window will go back to the last positon that I desinted, but that does not help when I need to go to the ver begining. Thanks in advance for your help.
Rockfort

Try 0 on your extended keyboard.
I forget now if I saved that as a key command or if Logic ships that way.
But I am pretty sure Logic ships with 0 as return to song start. If your song starts at 1 1 1 1 then it will return to 1 1 1 1.

Forgot the Sync Key of an account

Hi,
I have set up a Firefox Sync account lately.
Yesterday, I backed up my laptop but forgot to back up the sync.
Now, I can't set up the Firefox Sync service anymore, as my email address has already registered but don't have a sync key to access.
I would like to know how to reset the sync key.
Thanks :D

A couple of options, you can reset the sync key which will delete the details on the Sync servers allowing you to start over again. For details of how to do that see the [[Firefox Sync is not working]] article.
The sync key should be stored in the password manager of the Firefox version that you originally set up Firefox Sync with. Open the Options/Preferences dialog (for Windows, in the Tools menu select Options). In the Options dialog go to the Security panel and click on the "Saved Passwords" button to open the password manager. In the password manager click on the "Show Passwords" button and in the search field type '''chrome''', that should show your sync key.

I have accidentally deleted my sync data by resetting my sync-key. Is there any way to recover it ?

A couple of days ago, i was setting sync up on my new PC and I accidentally deleted my data by resetting my sync-key.
How can I recover my previous data? Is there a way or an e-mail address i can contact to help me with this.
Thanks and regards,
Gabriel

Sorry, when the Sync Key is reset for a Sync account the existing data on the Sync server is cleared.

Where is the DELETE key -- and I don't mean "backspace"

Every PC of any stripe that I have ever owned -- and we're talking a lot of machines in nearly 30 years of this -- has had two 'delete' keys.
One is a backspace key -- it erases characters in before the cursor. It's usually found above the enter/return key, where the backspace key used to be on those old-fangled typewriter machines.
The other key was a "delete" key -- which would erase characters that apper AFTER the cursor. There the backspace key would erase backwards, the delete key would erase forwards.
So, where is the DELETE key on a Mac keyboard? Is there some combination of keys that will serve that purpose? Or does somebody really think I'm going to move the cursor to the end of some place and delete backwards ALL the time?
I read in yesterday's Wall Street Journal that Steve Jobs doesn't like buttons, but this is ridiculous. It could, in fact be a fatal error... I've still got 10 days to take this thing back...
--PS

I don't suppose there is any kind of utility program that would let me re-map they keyboard, so that I could make, say, the "enter" key at the bottom into a "forward-delete" key (I never use that enter key, my hands are trained to use the "enter/return" key where it's always been on a typewriter -- yeah, I'm that old...)
Either buried on the Mac somewhere or a third party program that would let me do that? Would sure make the MacBook more liveable... I delete a LOT!
Thanks,
--PS

You need to run the App Store Application and buy it through there using your Apple ID / Account (same as iTunes)

Where's the phone key pad

how to find / where is the phone key pad with ios 7 all I get is face time no key pad

The delete key or backspace key is all that there is on a MacBook. It functions as a backward delete. If you want to use a forward delete, you need to hold down the fn (function) key in the bottom left of your keyboard and hit the delete or backspace key. For a more functional or normal approach for heavy writing, I might suggest an external keyboard with the forward delete key in place. -GDF

Deployment error - where is the ClassImp key?

So I've been working on this application for about 4 months.
In that time, I've made updates and changes to the WAR file and used the
NT-based Deploytool to deploy against a Solaris instance of iAS6.0 SP2.
no problems.
But the other day I totally blew up the app server (corrupted registry,
had to restore from tape backup).
All I did was the same thing I've been doing for 4 months or more. Make
a few changes, re-jar my WAR file, and redeploy.
But it fails after a couple of registry loads, completely truncates the
registry file and in short, if there were no backup, it would be iAS
re-install time.
java.lang.IlegalStateException: internal assert: where is the <ClassImp>
key?

Hi,
Well, it's difficult to tell where the problem is, would appreciate if
more information is mentioned about the error messages, the O/S, the Service
Pack of iAS.
Regards

A new computer will not accept the sync key taken from an older computer for the same account on a private (Weave minimal-based) server.

I'm trying to setup my Firefox Sync account on a new computer. I'm using a custom server based on Weave Minimal. There are several other computers which have synchronizing with this server with no problems for quite some time. This new computer accepts the custom server details, connects, and asks for a sync key. However, when I enter the sync key I got from one of those other computers into this new computer, it replies "Unknown Error".
I cannot get beyond this. I've tried the sync key copied and pasted from a text file in my Dropbox. I've tried removing the hyphens. I've tried the original passphrase that I used in previous versions of Firefox Sync.
Is there some tweak I need to make to Weave Minimal to make this work or do I need to try to setup the full Weave server?

Telling me the sync key is wrong, even though I have changed it twice on my main computer and brought it the other.

When I go to set up Sync on the second computer it keeps telling me the Sync key is wrong. I have canged it twice on the main computer and let it sync to the server, but when I bring the new key to the other computer it says "wrong Key"

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.
