How often does Firefox Sync back-up data? I see there is no preference selection allowing you to change the pre-set frequency (whatever that interval may be).

However, the sync action only triggers every 60-minute and there is no user-configurable option provided. Although one can put a Sync icon onto the toolbar for easier access, it is still far from practical needs.
To unlock this limitation, do the following:
1) Type “about:config” at the address bar
2) Search for “services.sync.syncInterval”
3) Change the value from 3600000 (milliseconds = 3600 seconds = 60 minutes) to any value (in millisecond) of your choice
4) Close and restart Firefox
The Sync action will now trigger at the interval you just set.

How often does iCloud sync ?.

How often does iCloud sync my devices ??

Your Mac's address book, on the front page - was the address you added inside a group that is listed in the general category "iCloud" or "On my mac" ? If the latter, then that doesn't sync to iCloud. If iCloud, you might try a small editing change to the entry, like erase last letter of last name, get out of address book, go back in and put the last letter back in. That should force a sync.

Doesn't it use an external AC Adapter? If so, all you should need to use in another country is an adpater plug to match the wall socket.

For how long does Firefox Sync keep synced tabs?

I wonder if there's any time limit Firefox Sync has for storing opened URLs in the cloud? I don't have access to the computer which ran Firefox and kept its opened tabs in Firefox Sync. But now I don't see them in the "Tabs from other devices".

Thanks, but it doesn't say anything on how long Firefox keeps tabs in the sync.

How often does icloud sync calendars?

Have PC running Windows7, and iPhone5 and an iPad Mini (not sure what generation but I just bought it a few weeks ago). I have all three devices set up with iCloud, but my calendar doesn't seem to be synching. What's the issue?

Thanks, but I cannot determine which device is having problems. Seems they all are, because I've made experimental changes on each device and nothing shows up anywhere else.
Note: I've been getting a dialog box that pops up asking me for the password for a particular server which I've never seen or heard of... It shows a user name that is the first chunk of my iCloud email, but I don't recall what if any password I used when I set that up a few days ago.... I went back and changed the password on my Apple ID, but that didn't work.... I'm stumped.

Why can't I sign on to firefox sync? I enter my acct name and receive a PW error. I change the PW and still receive an error.

I have a new computer and am trying to transfer my bookmarks and my email addresses and settings. I can not get into firefox sync. First of all the info tells me to go to the firefox button at the top of the page and click on sync setup, well that is not very clear, because there's not firefox sync set up anywhere. I finally found it under "Tools." Now everytime I try to sign on, I'm told my password is incorrect. I've changed it three times, and each time I'm told that either the reset link was wrong, or my PW is wrong.
Does this program even work? If not is there a way to bring my info across without having to manually enter it. When I was using Netscape, I could just transfer the file containing the addresses and the bookmarks over. I could even transfer my email folders with the contents. Is that possible with Firefox and Thunderbird?

How often does OS X sync with an NTP Time server?

By default, how often does OS X Tiger sync with an NTP Time server? I am monitoring my systems with the tcpdump command and I never seem to see my Macs trying to sync with our time server. It seems like it only syncs at boot or when the Time & Dat System Pref Pane is opened manually.

How secure is Firefox Sync on Android

First, let me summarize how I understand the current security concept of Firefox4Linux, as some of the documents I read may be old:
L1) During sync setup Firefox4Linux creates recovery key, encrypt all passwords, bookmarks, ... using this recovery key and upload them to the server[1].
L2) Passwords are encrypted only by using the recovery key, (not by master password)[2].
L3) When pairing J-PAKE (Password Authenticated Key Exchange by Juggling) is used to securely transfer the recovery key[3].
L4) On Firefox4Linux master password is used to encrypt the Recovery Key. Based on my own observation as it is not possible to view Recovery Key without entering the master password at least once.
This all seems to me reasonably secure and there should be no leakage of recovery key without compromising Master password. Now regarding my findings for Firefox4Android:
A1) Firefox4Android stops syncing passwords when master password is used[4].
A2) Based on my observations Firefox4Android continue to sync bookmarks, tabs, ... even when it is still asking for master password and I am not providing it.
A3) Based on A1 and A2 it looks like that, recovery key is not encrypted using master password.
A4) Based on A3 anybody who gets physical access to the Android device, can get recovery key, setup synchronization on PC and obtain all the passwords!
Please let me know, if I missed something. As it looks to me, using synchronization on Firefox4Android is not secure even if you use Master Password.
Currently I see possible workaround for this issue:
1) Disable master password on Firefox4Android
2) Setup synchronization
3) Let passwords, bookmarks, synchronize
4) Disable synchronization (deleting synchronization account should delete recovery key)
5) Enable master password
Only security issue with this workaround may be, that recovery key may be readable from the NAND flash for a while, because of the wear-leveling techniques. Possible workaround for this, would be generating new recovery key, after performing each synchronization with Android.

I would need a help, how to use Firefox Sync safely on Android devices, without that crazy workaround. I believe I am not the only person having this problem and somebody has find out something more straight forward.

Controlling how often my Q10 syncs with my Gmail account

I cannot seem to control how often my Q10 syncs with my Gmail account. I have adjusted the settings for Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts several times, but it seems to pull the emails frequently (within an hour) regardless of the setting. I want to control the syncing manually. What am I missing? The phone is brand new and unlocked, running on AT&T, and this happens regardless of whether I am using WiFi or not.
Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
A few possible variables...
1) What do you have set for "Use Push if Available"
2) How exactly is GMail integrated? EAS? IMAP? POP?
If the answer to item 1 is yes AND you have GMail integrated as IMAP, then the time interval setting is ignored. If integrated as EAS, it may also be ignored as well as the "Use Push..." setting might also be ignored. If integrated as POP, then there is no Push, so your time interval settings would be utilized.
So, depending on the combination of factors, it may or may not be doing exactly now what it should be.
Good luck and let us know!

How often does Mail download from a POP account?

I'm trying to help a friend, but I'm not that Apple-savvy. I know in Windows mail clients, there are settings to adjust how often mail is downloaded from a POP server, but I couldn't find any such setting in my friend's MacBook mail application. He is running 10.4.11. Does it only download each time you launch the mail application or click the "Get Mail" button? Does it download on some pre-set schedule that can't be changed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

"but I couldn't find any such setting in my friend's MacBook mail application."
I believe the equivalent setting is:
Mail>Preferences>General>*Check for new mail.*
"Does it download on some pre-set schedule that can't be changed?"
You can change the times for the +"Check for new mail"+ setting manually or use the computer setting.

How often does Cisco release signature updates?

Hi, i would like to know how often does Cisco release updates for the Signature engine for the IPS appliances? I was not sure to make the auto update from Cisco.com to be every-day, every-hour or once a week?
Also can you advise me of the recommended setting for Bypass feature for the interfaces?

Since the auto-update checks go out the management interface it maybe better to have it set for every hour. That way you wont have delays in the critical updates. Assuming you are in inline traffic mode, setting the bypass to "auto" is the recommended setting for interfaces. That is also the default.

How often does your CF instance need to restart?

I'm considering CF as an application solution for a critical
department..and not having much experience with it , was wondering
how often does the CF service need to be restarted ? hourly, daily,
weekly, monthly?????
i've had experiences with other app servers that at times
could be quite annoying...and would like to get some real world
input on the issue.
Many thanks..

It definitely depends on how you code and set up the site.
I've worked at a few places where the only time we restarted the CF
servers (or services) were when we actually switched servers. Other
places we had scheduled maintenance windows and did the restarts
then, sometimes they were needed while other times it was just for
the sake of doing it.
You should also take into consideration the OS reboots, for
Win2k3 or 2k8 you'll sometimes need to install critical patches
which need to restart to take effect. I don't know about UNIX or
Solaris and the others.
