Old, inaccessible synchronization device remove the account.

Hello, I'm a bit of a handyman and a tech junkie. However, I still find sync is a very useful and practical and applied it to all of my devices (tablets, phone, multiple computers). Because of my ongoing quest to improve things, however, I am frequently change OS' are and uninstall apps/reorder records on many of these devices, so I find myself often need to reinstall firefox (and thus re-synchronization).

The only problem here is that sync recognizes each new iteration as its own separate device, even though a large majority of them cease to exist entirely and are gone forever. What makes my "other devices tabs" page a huge pain to access, as most device names are the same and always have many pages active in them.

How would I go about the removal of these old accounts of my sync account? Change my password is not good at all, because given that the devices cannot access the server, more they are always present in my database and therefore are always boring. Any help is appreciated!

Here are two photos of the problem. As you can see, there are many features apparent duplicate:

"Then why when I go to tools/options/sync my old username still appears?

It seems that you have disconnected the old Firefox Sync and re - he added. The mechanism of the old Firefox sync will run happily in Firefox 30 to now but if you unplug / disconnect etc... and re-connect/log in you will only have the possibility of using the Firefox new synchronization mechanism.

This is exactly how I found him anyway.

"Why not deleting accounts deletes all old appliances?

If you have 'removed' account it will do. It seems that your Firefox on your computer is always connected to the old Firefox Sync, you said that you also went to the old Site and deleted the account, so I don't see how that's possible.

«More importantly, if we delete all start synchronization then starts by all the settings, bookmarks, etc. on the device, we create a new account with so that it is not lost»

Fix. That's exactly how it works. You may lose data synchronized on your 'other' devices, but in my case that's what I wanted to do because they contained dead devices.

I wanted to take all the data sync from my PC as base level again.

"and besides--last question - how other devices start to synchronize - there a sign on with the new account?

Fix. If we are talking about Firefox Mobile go in the settings of Firefox and you will see an option of Firefox Sync. To be sure, uninstall Firefox Mobile (Android/iOS etc...), and reinstall. Then connect on Firefox Sync on them again.

    Hello world

    I want to remove my account from Microsoft (https://account.live.com/closeaccount.aspx), but when I'm about to move forward, there is a great message to say out loud "make sure that * address email is removed from the privacy * is ready to close ', and it has info on how to set up automatic responses, etc...  The problem is... I don't want to delete my gmail account, I want to remove my account from Microsoft.  I signed up just to use the synchronization of OneNote, which I changed since then and I want to clean up after myself.

    Question: If I have my Microsoft account deleting, I delete my gmail account or only an association on behalf of gmail?

    I realize this is really basic, but I was unable to string together a search phrase Google/Bing which lead me to a response.

    Thanks in advance.  :-)

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    What is the reason for the deletion of your Microsoft account?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    Deleting an account Microsoft does not close the account that are associated with him. It only removes its association. Thus, your "Gmail" account will remain open.

    You can refer to this article:
    How can I close my account?

    I bought this home edition of XP used from Lady in my building.  His father-in-law was.  It has the older version of mozilla firefox here since 2009.  In the Panel of control-add/remove programs-it will not uninstall.  I tried to click the icon for it and it will not open.  I tried to delete the file and receive error message: access is denied.  I went on the site and can not download the latest version either.  What should I do now?  It does not close also.  It restarts after said save setttings and stop.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    I suggest the following:

    • Reset the iPad.  Press and hold the power and home together for 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    • Do not delete only this e-mail from the old iPad account.  Instead, delete all and set up the iPad as a new device with your Apple ID of the wife.  To do this, make the settings > General > reset > erase content and settings.

    If there is content you want to share with your wife, and then set up a family sharing.
