What happens when Sync "connects to" local server?

While setting up an account, one of the options is "Connect to." There is a drop-down with a default setting of "Firefox Sync Server." I believe the other option is something about setting up your info on a local server, but I can't find anything in the instructions about it.
I have a Western Digital network attached storage drive which looks just like extra drives to all my PCs. Can Firefox Sync save my data on a device attached to my LAN? If so, can I move the target for the existing account or do I have to make a new account?

  • What happen when we connect Two PC with IP from Same subnets

    Scenario 2nd : What happen when we connect Two PC with IP from Same subnets. PC1 -192.168.10.1/24 PC2 - 192.168.10.2 on a two different L2 Switch on different vlans which are connected via a LAN cable.
    All ports are access ports
    Interview Question : No More Info.
    Pc1<SwA>------<SwB>PC2
    Q.1 Will they communicate If yes what will be packet/frame flow.
    Q.2 If not where will be the packet/frame drop. ? Why.
    I need step by step if possible plz how the packet moves , vlan taggings n all internal works that happens behind .. plz 
    thnx in advnce ....

    Hi Abhishesk,
    The PCs should communicate each othet.
    Since there is no trunk port involved, there is not tagging involved.
    Since both the PCs are into the same subnet. PC1 will not need default gateway for the communication with PC2. So PC1 will start with sending ARP request for PC2 MAC address.
     Since all the ports in SW1 are in same VLAN, the ARP should reach all ports including the switchport where SW2 is connected to.
    Sw2 has got a complete different access port on ALL the switchports. Sw2 will receive the ARP from Sw1. Remember that there is no tagging for the frame. Hence Sw2 will again send the ARP packet to all the ports which belong to same VLAN wherein the packet is received. ie, Sw2 will send the ARP packet to all the ports in Sw2. PC2 will also get the the ARP.
    The ARP reply will make it way back using the same logic.
    Now both the PCs can start the actual packet exchange.

  • What happens when i connect to itunes when ive used icloud since i first got my device?

    Ive always used icloud but now i have ran out of storage i want to back up my devices using itunes, what will happen when i connect my device to itunes for ythe first time? I am using Windows 8.1 and have 3 apple devices (Ipod touch 5, ipad 2, an a ipad mini original)
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes - if you try to sync, then it will tell you that it is a new device and everything will be erased. When you sync, you are syncing with the data in the actual iTunes Library. You select which Apps, Music, Movies, TV, Photos, Books, etc. that you want to sync to your device in the Device Profile tabs that will display in iTunes when you hook up your device. Whatever you have selected will sync to your device.
    If you have your Contacts, Notes, Calendars, etc. already checked to sync with iCloud (not backup, but the items that are tuned on under Settings>iCloud on both your device and your computer), then those will not get replaced.
    If everything on your device is purchased from the iTunes Store, you can download it all to your computer by going to the appropriate tab in the iTunes Store, click on Purchased under the Quick Links section to the right, and then download anything that has a cloud next to it.
    Here is a support article on syncing:
    iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad

  • What happens when you delete a linked server?

    What actually happens when you deleted a linked server? SSMS says deleting a remote server deletes all remote logins defined for that server..Are you sure you want to delete this linked server and all remote logins defined
    for this server? 
    How can I see the remote logins for the linked server?
    thanks in advance

    So this is the problem with using the UI - you don't really know what is going on under the hood.
    You can see your linked servers in sys.servers. You can see mapped logins in sys.linked_logins.
    You drop a server with sp_dropserver, and if I remember correctly it also drops the logins.
    Nothing is ever touched on the remote data source. it is a purely local operation.

  • What happens when max job limit of few RAS server is reached?

    Hi, I would like to know what happens when max job limit of server is reached. I know that we need to increase the job limit but my question is a bit different.
    We have 7 RAS per servers. I got this message "The maximum report processing jobs limit configured by your system administrator has been reached" on 4 RAS servers but not all 7. I am tracking servers using PIDs on WIndows server 2003.
    Does this means this is a warning that Job limit of 75 (in our case) has reached for 4 servers and for remaining 3 servers its still not reached. This means 3 servers are still able to handle more report request as they have not reached their max limit.
    OR
    This message means all of the servers have reached to their max limit and there is no more request which can be taken.
    We are doing 3000 users performance testing on 21 RAS servers.
    We are on BOXI R2 SP3 on IIS and opening crystal reports using .NET SDK.
    Thanks,

    This is same as my other question so I am closing this too. We have set limit as unlimited and during peak load we had almost balanced reports on all RAS.

  • If I have two laptops connected to a single wireless hard drive, what happens when one laptop wants to go on a trip and the other one needs to stay home?

    if I have two laptops connected to a single wireless hard drive (i.e. Time Capsule), what happens when one laptop wants to go on a trip and the other one needs to stay home?  I'm afraid I know the answer, but I'm hoping Apple has a great solution to my problem.

    What if this little piggy goes to market but this little piggy stays home?
    The computer on a trip will do snapshot backups on the hard drive that will then be incorporated into the Time Machine backup once you get it back home. See
    OS X Lion- About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and enter or paste the appropriate command line. Press RETURN and enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed.
    To turn them ON: sudo tmutil enablelocal
    To turn them OFF: sudo tmutil disablelocal
    Note that turning them OFF will also delete all existing snapshots.

  • When we do a failover to a Replica, what happened to the connected clients? Assuming that the Replica is located in a remote DR site with a different IP configuration.

    When we do a failover to a Replica, what happened to the connected clients? Assuming that the Replica is located in a remote DR site with a different IP configuration.
    Hi,
    I need some guidance here, please.
    I have some questions about replication:
    When we do a failover to a Replica, what happened to the connected clients? Assuming that the Replica is located in a remote DR site with a different IP configuration.
    Is possible to automate the failover process? Just like happens in a cluster.
    What changes do I need to do in order to guarantee that my clients reach my replica? For example, I need to do a failover to my Exchange Server Replica and I need to minimize the downtime. The same applies for a DC or a SharePoint Server
      Thanks in advanced.

    Hi efebo,
    “The same applies for a DC ”
    As for replicating virtualized DC (Personally,  I do not suggest to replicate DC , even though it can be replicate ), please refer to following link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn250021.aspx
     "In short, Exchange does
    not support the Hyper-V Replica feature.  Exchange has a long history of supporting virtualisation from
    Exchange 2003 onwards.  It is fully supported to install Exchange
    2007,
    2010 or
    2013 as a virtual machine on Hyper-V, but using the Hyper-V replica feature is not supported.
    For details please refer to following link:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/07/29/exchange-and-hyper-v-replica-support.aspx
    I assuming that the "Remote DR site" and the primary site both have public IPs .
    Based on my knowledge  you can not access replica site VM  directly after a disaster , maybe you need to rebuild primary site and replicate VM back .

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • What happens when the CC trial ends? What happens when offline?

    I need Lightroom to work offline on my laptop. What happens if I need to sign in to CC when there is no interned connection and what happens when the CC trial ends on both my laptop and desktop?

    Thanks for answering. I have the standalone version of Lightroom 6 on my Windows 7 64 bit desktop. A number of times when have tried to open the program, the Adobe Application Manager has popped up requiring me to sign in even though I had not knowingly signed out. Lightroom will not launch unless I am signed in. Frequently when Lightroom launches, I see a "Server Busy" message telling me to "switch to the other program" without telling me which program to switch to. I have pinned the AAM to my notification area and have unchecked the "Show OS Notifications box" to see if the "Server Busy" message goes away. So far everything seems to be okay
    Again, thanks for answering me

  • What happens when you get Error 1905??

    ERROR 1905 MODULE C:/PROGRAM FILES/ITUNES/ITUNESMINIPLAYER.DLL
    FAILURE TO UNREGISTER
    HRESULT-2147200472

    Okay...so what do I do? After this it goes to "stopping services", but says it is unable to do that. Then when I open I-tunes it says that the part of the program where the computer connects to the ipod was not installed correctly. this is soooo frustrating. my brother's had an ipod shuffle for about 2 years so itunes was already installed. i was just trying to update it so my ipod video could be read.
    iPod with Video   Windows XP  

    Sorry no but here is some info anyway,
    We increased MaxPermSize from 192 to 512
    We also increased min and max JVM Heap size to 768 and 2048 respectively.
    Since then I think we have not experienced this problem more than once.
    We also have one server with the default parameters and it seems to work fine.
    I believe that size, and number of simultaneous request/responses have an impact  on this.
    We will now install the latest updates and after that decide whether to start logging jvm activities or not.
    Best regards

  • What happens when you AirDrop from Mac to iPhone and click Cancel?

    I have a Late 2013 27" iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2.
    I can take a PDF on my iMac, drag it to my iPhone in the AirDrop section of Finder, and it transfer to my iPhone just fine.  Once it's finished transferring, a popup shows on my iPhone asking me what app I want to open the PDF in, which is great.  At the bottom of that popup is a "Cancel" option.  My question is, what happens when you tap "Cancel" instead of one of the apps?  Is the file still somewhere on the iPhone?  Or does it get deleted?

    Connecting to a new computer or iTunes will always erase the device first. Back up manually before by right clicking on the iPod in the device list and choosing "backup". A manual backup does not include the sync process. You can use this backup to restore from after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
    Transfer your purchases the same way and make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your Mac, to be able to merge data.
    See also iTunes: About iOS backups to get more info about the content of a backup, and How to back up your data and set up as a new device , if you want to know more about saving info from the iPod before setting it up in iTunes.

  • What happens if I connect my ipod to a new library on my computer?

    I have a 16gig ipod touch synced to my main itunes library, however, as most of the music in this library is imported as lossless files this is taking up a lot of room on the ipod. I therefore want to create a separate library containing smaller AAC files just for the ipod. I will need to select the tracks I want for the ipod touch and convert them from lossless to AAC first, then import these into the new library. What I need to know first is what will happen when I connect my ipod touch and its current content, including applications and photos to this new library? Will everything get very confused, if so what do I need to do? Will it try to do a back up of my ipod?

  • HT201342 What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

    What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    When you set up iCloud on a new device, you will get photos from Photo Stream (you will have to transfer them to the device), your contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and your iCloud mail address. All of this will be done automatically by iCloud when you log in iCloud on your device.
    To transfer your purchased music, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 Also, if you have the music on your computer, just connect the iPad to the computer and sync it with iTunes to get your apps, movies, music...

  • What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod?

    What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod? I did this some time ago. On screen was shown available space somewhat less than 120 GB, but maybe somewhere between 10 and 20 GB more in the library. I had to get the iPod updated anyway, so I did proceed. However, afterwards the total content of the library was only about 110 GB. Now I wonder what did actually happen. Was the first sign only corrected for double copies of the same files or lost files or where files deleted from iTunes? And if files where deleted from iTunes, were they also deleted from my computer?

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.
