Replacement of the main computer, don't want to lose all the data synchronized.

I use Firefox Sync with multiple devices at work and at home. My main computer, which is the original pc all data from first and I use to add new devices, is my work laptop. I'm being transferred across the country and no longer have this laptop.

I need somehow put up my home pc or my new laptop to work as the new main computer, but I don't want to lose all data. Should I export all the data from the laptop the existing work and import it on the new pc, then installed Sync all over again on my other devices (Mercury browser for iphone and ipad)? Or is there an easier way to do it?

Thank you
Jake

Hello, first of all please create a backup of your profile of your work pc folder, so that you have your data available in all cases: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox

I do not think that there is something like a 'primary' feature in your accounts sync - all devices need to be at the height, you can simply delete your old laptop to sync & add the new laptop to the account:
Go to firefox > options > tab sync on your old laptop. Please make sure you as your user name, password of the account and the recovery key is known to you (you can access the recovery key under 'manage accounts' "-write it down if you haven't done so already '), then click on separate device in the Synchronize tab.

You can then add your new laptop to work on behalf of sync existing either by coupling a device while you're close to your pc at home or with your user account, password and recovery key.

  • upgraded to pse 14 but I don't want to lose structure files or metadata within the PES 11

    I am considering upgrading from PSE11 to PSE14.  I intend to buy the normal via Amazon rather than the upgrade version because the full version is cheaper.  However, I don't want to lose my folder/file and metadata structure (for those photos where I forgot to save the metadata in the files - I don't know what are those who are).  What is the best way to replace the PES 11 with PSE14 without doing any damage or loss of information, please?

    Nothing special to do.

    If you install PSE14 on the same computer, your file/folder structure cannot be changed at all: the catalogues contain no files, only links to their location.

    In the installation process, you will be asked to 'convert' the current catalog of version 11 to 14. A new catalog will be created with the same name as before, with all kept, tags, captions, etc.

    You don't need to write metadata in files: version 11 catalogs information is preserved.

    Two different situations:

    -you install PSE14 in another computer: use the backup/restore process: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html

    -Old catalogues are no longer available, only the photo files: then you re-import your files, and Yes, if you did not write metadata to the files, you cannot recover them. Even if you wrote them, you can retrieve tags, notes, notes and legends, but no batteries, sets of version or creations.

    Note: If you don't know which files are missing "written metadata", you can select all and run this command again. Just need some patience.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Data recovery, if/before you reinstall:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.

    If you burn to a DVD disc in first items 10 and later versions, some choices are

    a. DVD-VIDEO standard screen or 4:3 16:9 on DVD disc

    Both will have the frame size of 720 x 480 pixels. But the big screen comes with a 16:9 flag that extends approximately 856/480 16:9 display video after encoding. The screening is not adjustable by the user... and you end up with the DVD-VIDEO format @ 29.97 images per second interlaced.

    b. format of the AVCHD on DVD

    Here is the video display 1920 x 1080. And, depending on the version, can be 29.97 images interlaced per second, or 23.976 progressive frames per second (if not just 29.97 images per second interlaced). Although you can generate some AVCHD DVD with a regular DVD burner, DVD AVCHD is in need of a blu - ray player that supports supported AVCHD DVD or one of these drives multimedia multi which is also.

    c. If the player allows... you can export your Timeline file saved on a USB Flash drive and then insert this USB Flash drive in the drive to get the reading of the file. On this route, you can set the Premiere Elements avancΘs to customize your choice of export preset.

    Please consult the bulletin and consider then, let us know if we have targeted your question. If this isn't the case, please give more details in the areas where we do not have.

    The computer has a serial number which is included in a registration of devices belonging to an organization. If you do not belong to this organization and that you didn't acquire the device with him, then there was an error or the device (or the logic board) is stolen. If the unit was purchased used, for example on Ebay, or if the card has been replaced by an unauthorized service provider, then it is almost certainly stolen goods. Otherwise, you must take the device to an Apple Store or to an other authorized service provider to have serial number has changed. May asked you proof of ownership.

    Update to 9.3.1 iOS will cause questions to my iPhome 6 and iPod 5th generation

    I have a lot of important things about them that I don't want to lose

    and I can't save them because my computer is broken

    I can't promise anything but through discussions on the forum questions to 9.3.1 vs threads have reported problems for 9.3, there are significantly fewer problems for 3.1 3.

    You can always save things until you do (honestly, it is advisable to always back up your device before installing new software)

    Even with a broken computer you can save things via iCloud, or simply important files to yourself by email or use something like dropbox, of them for download at.

  • I keep getting invited to download a update of important safety that will make some of my incompatible modules. I don't want to lose my Add-ons.

    I love Firefox addons. Some are quite brilliant. Why then I would lose - or at least some of them - to download an important security update? It happened for about three weeks. I want to update security, but I don't want to lose any of my modules. Who has no sense - or I'm just a dumb Aussie. (Seriously, however, why would anyone want to do on the internet without FIREFOX. Loves it!)

    Hi ian.rolph,

    It is important to use the latest version of Firefox because of all the new features and (as noted) security updates. One of the things that makes Firefox so amazing is that it is constantly improving.

    I understand your hesitation, but from 10 FF the default is to assume that an addon is compatible unless otherwise stated, while older versions to assume that add0ns were not compatible. So, you should see fewer upgrade issues. Also, given that Firefox is now on a fast release cycle addon developers will be more concerned with keeping things up-to-date. At least that's the hope!

    Hope this helps!
