Why do I need to set up sync when I only use 1 computer. A warning showed up that says: Sync encountered an error while connecting: Unknown error. Please try again.

When I started up my computer this morning, a warning popped up saying: ! Sync encountered an error while connecting: Unknown error. Please try again.
Why do I need to set up Sync on Firefox when I only use this one computer and do not even have a cell phone?

If you do not want to use Firefox Sync any more, you can deactivate it. See instructions here: [[How do I manage my Firefox Sync account?]]

  • My problem is, sync encountered an error while connecting: unknown error please retry preferences. I tried to resync, but my email address was already synced. Help!

    The above just started happening yesterday, I click it off and it pops back up again. Today, I tried to set-up sync and it showed my email already existed.
    I have problem number 2, which has been going on for sometime now, "we noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click o.k. to reload your page. Today, I went to file and clicked exit and restart Firefox and the same thing happened. Please help me!

    I had the same error,
    I accidentally saved the password server XXXX.services.mozilla.com
    Once the password unregistered, synchronization started to operate.
    for more logs, we can look at the variables in about: config and doing a search services.sync
    services.sync.lastSync may be useful to track the status of the synchronization

  • Sync encountered an error while synchronising: Unknown error

    I'm using Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
    I set up a sync account to transfer my history, etc. from my old desktop to my new laptop (details above). Since then, i haven't used my desktop, just the laptop.
    For about the last week or so, the following error message keeps popping up at the foot of the screen:
    "Sync encountered an error while synchronising: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." And there is a 'Sync now' button.
    I can't think of anything that I've done (installing extensions, etc.) to cause this to happen.
    Any ideas, anyone? All help appreciated.

    Go to [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ your sync account], log in, and click clear your sync data.
    Then click the Sync now button on the error message.
    The error went away for me.

    Itunes Match won't upload. I get error stating there was an error in the itunes store, please try again. I have tried again everyday for the last month and am still unable to use.  Any ideas on why Match can't complete the 1st step of the process (Gathering information about your Itunes library)?

    For the last few weeks, the iTunes store has been displayed with empty graphic rectangles (with a blue box containing a white question mark centered in the rectangles), bits of text, and some buttons. The page extends quite a ways, including what I assume would be all the links to all the music...
    If all you are trying to do is buy music, you can easily buy MP3s at any online music download store (e.g. amazon.com) and add them to your iTunes library.

    I have an Acrobat 8 which is all I need.  Installed on my new computer which is using Windows 8.  Each time I open Acrobat I get a window that say unable to registrator.  It gives me three options try again, redo, never register.  No matter which option I choose I cannot stop the window from opening each time I open the computer.
    Any suggestions?

    Probably far too old to register. Sounds like a bug, stopping the "never" selection from working. You may be stuck with it.

  • HT204406 Whenever my computer tries to sync my tracks via iTunes match, I get a message that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request.  An unknown error occurred (4002)...please try again later."  This has been happening for 4 months now.

    ...how do I resolve this issue?  It's irritating for several reasons:
    1) My new songs do not appear in match on my other devices because of this error
    2) My itunes turns itself on automatically when it knows it needs to match; then the icon starts jumping up and down when the error occurs, distracting me from whatever I'm doing about ever 15 minutes at times.
    3) I've paid for this.  It's working so badly.

    Re: error 4002 in itunes match do you have a solution?

    Hi All,
    I had this problem today myself, and was frustrated repeatedly by the '4002' error.
    I have literally just fixed the issue by doing the following steps:
    1: Go to the 'Store' tab and select 'Turn Off iTunes Match'
    2: Return to the 'Store' tab and select 'Update Genius'
    3: Wait for this to complete succesfully, the return to the 'Store' tab once more and select 'Turn On iTunes Match'.
    4: iTunes Match will now go through the motions and should succeed!
    I hope this helps

  • Whenever I try to sync my ipad or connect to the itunes store on my computer I keep getting this :  "We could not complete your Itunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-9808). There was an error in the itunes store. please try again later"

  • When starting up my computer, I get a window that says - apple sync notifier.exe - entry point not found.  how can i get rid of this window?

    When I start up my computer,  I get a window that pops up that says  *  AppleSyncNotifier.exe - entry point not found.  it also says    the procedure entry point xmltextreadername could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2 .dll.   .  What does this mean and how can I get rid of it?

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • HT1338 my mac needs updating-currently 10.5.8, but when i click on software update and it searches it says there are no software updates? any help please

    I updated my iphone to IOS 6 which means i also need to update my itunes. When i tried to do this it said I need to update software but when I click on software update, it searches and then says no updates available. Can anyone help me please? thankyou very much

    10.5.8 is the final version of Leopard. After that you need a paid-for upgrade to Snow Leopard - if your Mac can run it:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).
