Spent in a clean install of WIndows 8 but Sync does not work, how can I connect if I have my data back?

I decided to install a version of Windows 8 in replacement for Win7. So when I looked what I save, I decided to do a FireFox sync account to collect my data when FireFox was again installed on my laptop.

So today, I installed FireFox again but I can't sign in, ask about other manufactured device codes...
Why can't I just connect with my login and my password?
I still got the "Windows.old" file, can I do something with it because I guess I lost all my old data because of this weird codes.

9-r2b2e-xm7bd-pubvs-e5wfx-*** this is the synchronization code is whining for but does not accept. not even when you change. Unable to find anything in my mail on this subject.

A big thank you in advance.

As an alternative to the synchronization, to find your old data, Firefox, try this. Please note that I have not used Windows 8, to let me know if this makes no sense.

Help > troubleshooting information > button "record show."

This should open the folder settings personal (AKA Firefox profile) Firefox in Windows Explorer (or equivalent).

Browsing from a level to the profiles folder. You can see several folders here, but with a new installation, you probably see only one.

In the address bar, insert the Windows. old\ into the path as follows:

Windows. old\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles Users\ directory C:\

If you used a different username on Windows 7, you will need to change the part. This should take you directly to your old Firefox profile folders. I suggest those that copy to a more accessible location.

Your old profile or folders contain bookmarks, history, saved passwords, etc. You can migrate as much or as little of what you want. There are a few general articles on this (e.g., recovery of data from an old profile) and of course a lot of past son.

A little luck?

  • Installed the Windows updates now sound does not work.

    I used the windows update Center yesterday and installed the updates that were for my computer, now my sound does not work. When I try and open "Dolby-Publisher of stars", I get this message:


    Any help tp fix it would be greatly appreciated as im am not very wise computer.

    Will,

    According to the scenario provided it seems that the problem is that you have updated the drivers for the audio device, but you have not updated the application (Dolby Home Theater - perhaps). If you have two choices, update the application to a version more recent or uninstall the installed update which is relevant to the audio driver (through programs and features - updated).

    See you soon.

  • When I log into Windows, the login screen does not appear, how can I fix?

    I am running Windows XP Professional.  When I start my computer, it works fine.  I can log on and have no problem.  Unfortunately, when I log into my profile, Windows logon screen does not appear.  I use the log on screen where you have to manually type your user name and password.  The HP wallpaper happens, but the log in box does not work.  Better yet, it is not always the case.  I logged on and outside several times without any problems to come back later and find the log in box missing.  The only way I can solve the problem is to manually shut down the computer using the power button then restarting him.  I have no idea why this is happening or how I can fix this problem.  Any ideas?

  • In Windows 7, try to re - activate windows search, but it does not work

    I disabled Windows Search by going to the control panel => turn Windows on or off features => Windows Search and by unchecking the checkbox.

    I'm trying now reactivate it by putting a check in the box. It does not work. When I click OK, if I re - open the window, the box is gone again.

    I looked in Services for the Windows Search service, and there is no.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    It is indeed strange.  My two immediate suggestions would be to try the troubleshooter to search in the control panel............... but since you can't even activate that I am doubtful that would help.

    Secondly, and probably more likely to accomplish something, I would try the system restore in the start menu.  Since you can't use the instant search on the start menu, I think it's under Accessories, then system tools.
    Just open it, choose a date before the power off of search and click Next. The entire restoration takes about 2 minutes and will not affect your files, it just re - sets Control Panel.
  • Hard disk formatted, freshly installed Windows 8, but it does not work with the old key

    I had bought a Lenovo Z570 two years back, with Original Windows 7 Home Premium.

    When Windows 8 released in November 2012, I had bought and upgraded online for her.

    I had used the Windows 8 since then. Yesterday, due to various problems, I had to format my hard drive, and when I finally managed to install Windows 8 on my laptop again, it does not allow me to activate windows 8 using my normal key (he says that this key did not work)

    It was the key in the email from the seller, and I have an e-mail, which has a Bill to prove.
    I guess this could be due to the PC 1 by purchase clause, however, it's the same PC (more like laptop). So I do not understand why I would not be allowed to activate the software I used earlier on the same laptop still on the same laptop after installing it.

    Please get to me as soon as possible if there is a solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey! Thanks for your help, but I had refreshed my windows 8 in the meantime and connected to the internet after that. and then when I followed your instructions and run slui.exe, it says that windows is activated. so I guess that the problem is solved.

    Vista Windows

    There are three ways to correct this
    (1) back to the original installation - assuming that the one who did the installation just ran the upgrade rather than a custom installation (is there a "windows.old. This folder?)
    (2) buy a copy of Windows 7, which corresponds to the current installation and use the key from that to make your authentic system
    (3) use your manufacturer to return to the initial installation system recovery disks.
     
    Note that options 1 and 3 can lead to data loss - so make sure that you back up your data on external backup first!

    Hi asian1955,

    Have you tried to download Windows Live from here: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials?os=other this is the latest version of Windows Live. Once you start to install, simply install the components you want, there is no need to install anything if you do not need.

  • FSX can run fine on Windows 8, but now does not - install crashes with 1722

    To the right,.

    I have a HUGE problem with reinstalling Flight Sim X on Windows 8.  When I installed it first, it ran fine, until one day he crashed it so bad that it would not even close or uninstall properly - I had update my system just to remove it.  Now, I am trying to reinstall it, but it won't reinstall - the installation program runs in a first time, but when it comes to registration of fonts, it crashes with a 1722 followed of a 1603.  I already tried to use licensing reset tool http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928080, but it does not work either!  What should I do?  Thanks in advance!
