Years and years ago I signed up for firefox sync. I have no idea what the password is so I can use it on the new computer. I also do not know what email address I was using at the time.

Years and years ago I first started with firefox sync. I have no idea what the password is. Nor do I remember the email address I was using at the time. I now have a new computer and can't set up the firefox sync. I can not be the only person to have had this problem.

Unless you remember your "Username" (Not Email) then the only option I'm aware of is to Create a new account
*Request [https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot Forgotten Password] (Username Needed)
*Create [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/sync/ New Account]
The whole point of Firefox Sync is to save/access data between different devices - Your Username should be listed on one of your Devices, unless you just happen to replace all of them at the same time.
If you could gain access to an account w/ atleast knowing the Username/Email Address/Password then what would be the point of "Security"
Thats why [http://www.steganos.com/us/products/for-free/locknote/overview/ LockNote] is handy to jot down account notes and secure it w/ a password... stick it on a thumbdrive.

  • Hi. How can I delete my icloud account on my iPhone? I don't have that email address I was using anymore. I tried deleting it but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi ale.vica,
    You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
    1.     Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
    2.     Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
    3.     Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
    That should take care of your issue!
    Cheers,

  • Trouble with forwarding emails. Can't seem to find a way to get rid of previous senders' email addresses before myself forwarding on the email. I used to be able to do this before I upgraded. Any ideas?

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a new build-in PDF Viewer and that viewer doesn't have all the features that the Adobe Reader has.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to completely disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

  • Can't sign-up for Firefox Sync

    I have been trying to sign-up for Firefox sync but every time I start to enter a valid email address I get an error message saying it is an "invalid email address". The error will pop-up as soon as I start to enter the first character. I wasn't even able to get to the @ symbol before the error displayed.
    Also, tried various different emails but same problem.
    Could not find anyone else having this problem, is it just me?
    Anyone have any thoughts on this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ray

    Strange I thought I had tried that a couple of times and the NEXT button stayed grayed out.
    But I did get past it and set-up the Sync.
    Thanks for your help.

  • My email address that was used to set up my ipod was deactivated by yahoo for inactivity...now i cant access my ipod  with that email address or password..i also dont have my reciept to show that i purchased the ipod from  the apple store either.

    I am not able to access my Ipod using the email address because it has been deactivated.

    Recovery the password and change the ID email address
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. See Changing your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

  • I am trying to reinstall osx but I do not know my email address I installed it with from the start so I can't reinstall it . Please anyone help me ?

    ??

    What Mac Model (year, type)?
    What version of OS X are you installing?
    What, exactly, do you do when you try to install the OS?
    What, exactly, happens?
    If you are upgrading an existing OS installation to Mavericks, then no email addresses should be required.
    If you are installing Mavericks clean on a blank hard drive, no email address is required.
    You may need to enter the email address that you used as your Apple ID to download Mavericks from the Mac App Store, and you may need it to log into your iCloud account and other Apple services when setting up a brand new Mac.
    You really don't know what email address you might have used? You've tried every email address you've had in the last couple of years...?

  • How do I change the original email address that was used to set up iCloud

    I have just noticed that the email under system preferences for iCloud is an old one that does not exist anymore. How do I change this? Can you also tell me if I delete this account - will it affect what I have stored on the computer e.g. what is in my photos etc? I am a real novice when it comes to computers - so excuse my ignorance :-)
    Thanks for any assistance.

    You can change the (non-Apple) email address which forms your Apple ID to another one at http://appleid.apple.com. If you are going to do this you should follow this procedure to avoid problems:
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in (give it time).
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • How can I customise Thunderbird message columns to show sender raw address (not display name) and the "Received for" email address that was used to reach me?

    I find it increasingly important to be able to see a sender's actual email address rather than just display name, as they usually don't show a company name - which a domain always would. Is there a way to customise settings/write a script/tweak files to add raw email & domain name columns? When dealing with a number of people at the same company it is hard to order or glance through a list of emails to find them. I also know 2 people with the same name at different companies and it is impossible to distinguish!
    Secondly, as a related column addition, since a number of email aliases reach me it would be useful to have a column to show the "Received..for" part of the message source which reveals the actual email used in the To/CC/BCC which led to me. Again can this be tweaked or scripted?
    I have programming experience but have not made add-ons and would be open to a suggestion which involves creating a custom add-on if adding columns with custom values is possible that way.
    Best Regards,
    Drew

    Extended message headers can be searched from Edit/Find/Search Messages, or the folder context menu, by adding custom headers to the search criteria. So, you might be able to create a search on specific properties of a message.
    The method of adding custom headers to searches is the same as the one described here for filters:

  • I have an email address that was used on one Appleid account and I have now created a separate Appleid for another device. Is it possible to transfer that icloud email address to the new Appleid account?

    I had multiple iPhones and iPads associated with the same apple account and I have now created a separate account for two of them.  The question that I have is whether there is a way to transfer the icloud email address to the new account?

    Welcome to the Apple community 1960gmd.
    Once an iCloud address is used for an Apple ID, you can't use it for any other.
    Why would you want to use another Apple ID if you already have the address you want to use in another.
    If you want your email on all devices but use a different ID for iCloud add it as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars and just enable mail.

  • The sender address "my email address here" was rejected by the server

    I had to trash my mail folder and mail preferences folder becuz it wouldn't open no matter what I did. Now that I have it opening it's giving me the error that I've used for the subject line. What have I done wrong here? why wouldn't the server recognize my email address? I can recieve mail.

    It could be any number of things, but the error indicates that your ISPs server doesn't recognize or accept your email address as a valid customer. Maybe your ISP requires SSL to send email, or uses a different port number, etc.
    That's why it's best if you talk to them; they're charging your for their service, so they should help you with errors generated by their system. If you get them on the phone and try to send email to that person while you're talking to them, you can test it in real time and if you get the error again, they can troubleshoot the problem with you.

  • Signed up for Firefox Sync but haven't received verification email

    I'm returning to Firefox after becoming thoroughly frustrated with Google Chrome. I logged into the last version of Firefox i had used (Nightly 29), synced my old stuff to the most recent version of Nightly (37a1), unlinked that device from the old Sync, restarted Firefox, created a New Sync login with my email address ([email protected]), and waited for the verification email. None received. Reequested that i be resent three times. Still nothing. No emails from Mozilla/Firefox in junk email or Office 365 spam filter for my domain.
    I see others have experienced issues with creating a new Sync account as well. Please advise how I can resolve this issue and return to Firefox on all my devices asap!
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Have you tried to request a verification email again recently?
    Just checked in with the Firefox Accounts team and they did say there were some email failures recently - but should be working now.
    Thanks for your patience
