Android Firefox Sync with own Server

Hi,
is it possible to Sync the Android Firefox with the new 1.5 Sync Server?

Josh182,
Yes it is, however please take caution that the profile of the first computer will overwrite the one of the second. Sync is not meant to be a backup service. [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
For Android if you select Settings > Sync make sure the account that is attached is not Firefox Sync [deprecated].
Add a new account after disconnecting this account. and it will take you through the login account verification/login.
If you have any other questions, just post back!

How often syncs Firefox sync with the server were my bookmarks are storaged? Can I turn of the historical sync because one computer is at home and the other is at work. So I use totally different webpages and would like to have the history disabled.

OK, I found the part about history. It is just to unmark that.
But still i wonder how often it sync? Instantly? Or when closing FF?

Firefox Sync not working with own server

I tired using my own firefox sync 1.5 server. The server is running and I see something in the logs, but these data looks ok:

Why in the pastebin in the debugging line is the version of sync the older one:

More info on self hosting can be found here: [https://blog.mozilla.org/services/2014/05/08/firefox-accounts-sync-1-5-and-self-hosting/] where you can also ask this in the #sync IRC channel or [https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/sync-dev] join the dev mailing list to get a more technical answer.
Are you using the first method? Where the Firefox server is the authenticating server and the hosted server is your own?
It fails to login because it flags it already has a token, but 401 failed to Get the collections at your server, these are strange errors and I am not an expert, please do ask your question in the mailing list, the technical eye will be able to catch the issue much quicker.

Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

Hi,
I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
Thanks!

Hello whereizben,
I see you have posted same post in another thread. I have already replied to that posting with a solution. Please see the following link for my reply:
Re: Calendar will not sync with Exchange Server
Thanks, again, for posting!

Mac Reminder (Mountain Lion) cannot sync with Exchange Server 2010

Hi All,
My boss is using iMac reminder (Mountain Lion), iPhone and iPad sync with his Exchange Server account, He cannot sync Mac reminder with Exchange Server last week. However, there are no sync problem of iPhone, iPad and the other iMac.
My boss mail to me 'Just noticed that my iMac reminder is not in sync with the server. IOS device is in sync though. Tried unchecking calendar+reminder on account setup and rechecking but still no good. Any ideas?'
Could anyone help me?
Thanks,

Started experiencing this same issue with new Macs on Moutain Lion connecting to MicroSoft Exchange Server.
ERROR Says:
Calendar can't save the event "event name here" to the Exchange server.
The account "describes calendar name" currently can't be modified. to discard your changes and continue using the version of your calendars that's on the server. click Revert to Server.
Then gives the buttons "Revert to Server" "Try Again" or "Ignore"
!!! Somehow it seems like this is a known issue, otherwise WHY would Apple have given us those 3 buttons to click on?
Needless to say this is causing productivity problems as it disrupts the very busy schedule of many users. Apple needs to provide some workaround for this.

SbRIo time sync with SNTP server

Hi!
I'm syncronizing a sbRIo with a time server as described here:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F2B057C72B537EA2862572D100646D43?OpenDocument
I've a couple of questions:
1) what happens if the time server becomes unreachable?
2) can source.sntp.address be specified as a name address to be rosolved by a DNS? (It seems to me that if the name can't be resolved the board boots in safe mode...)
thanks in advance for any reply,
Marco
p.s. sorry for cross-posting (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Real-Time-Measurement-and/sbRIo-time-sync-with-SNTP-server/m-p/1951123),
but the problem is quite urgent...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Marco,
1) If the SNTP time server becomes unreachable, the cRio will update the local time independently, starting from the last time value get from the server
2) You are right, it doesn't work properly. The right way to express the SNTP source is using IP address

Imported email synced with IMAP server?

Hey guys,
I'm about to import a couple of emails into an email account on a machine and wanted to know if these email are being synced with the server and appear on all devices?
Thanks in advance
Constantin

Anything on an IMAP server should appear on all clients that connect to the same account.

Has anyone succesfully used home hosted Firefox sync with self-signed certificate in Android? How?

I have Firefox sync running on home server. All other devices (Windows, Mac, Linux, Meego) work fine, but Android (4.2 Asus tablet and Samsung phone) Firefox stops at ssl handshake (referring to Apache logs).

You need to somehow get the certificate on your computer. After that send it to your phone via bluetooth/cable to one of the Documents directories (phone or mem card). After that rename it with the file manager on the phone and open the now .der file. It'll ask you if you want to install the certificate. Btw the link you provided does have a der suffix, but the linkis broken.

Hidden Contact Subfolders are visible on iPhone after sync with Exchange Server 2007

Hello,
We have encountered an issue where synchronizing the iPhone with Contacts from an Exchange Server 2007 mailbox, causes hidden contact subfolders (from Outlook) to be visible and appear in the Groups list in the Contacts App on the iPhone. This does not occur with Exchange Server 2010 mailboxes.
We have a 3rd party application that creates hidden subfolders in the default Contacts folder on Exchange Server 2007 mailboxes. The hidden folders do not display in the Outlook client, Blackberry or on an Android phone. We did see that they were showing up in Outlook Web Access until we applied this Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 Rollup 2 patch unto the Exchange server:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2210042 - A sub contact folder is still visible after you set the "PR_ATTR_HIDDEN" attribute to "True" in an Exchange Server 2007 environment.
After the patch was applied, the hidden contacts do not show up anywhere else. However, when we synced the mailbox to an iPhone and synced existing contacts, all of the hidden folders appear in the Contact Groups list. Is there a way to hide the hidden sub contact folders on the iPhone and prevent them from appearing in the Contact Group lists?
Any help provided would be most appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards

Hi SBuchan,
I have an open case with Microsoft about it. It is an issue with ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 that sends the hidden objects. Microsoft tried to resolve this in Exchange 2010 by sending a delete message after sending the hidden objects to remove them from the device. Am awaiting to see if they will approve a design change to Exchange 2007 ActiveSync to prevent the synching of hidden objects.

Set up a desktop Firefox sync from an android Firefox sync

I am having trouble setting up Firefox sync on my desktop (which I had to replace) having only an active Firefox sync on my Android tablet. I can't find a way to either insert the usual three four character codes to pair the devices, nor to recover the sync key to enter it manually on the desktop. Googling the problem, I found suggestions from a year ago to use certain plugins (the most recent was about:synckey) to display the key, but unfortunately they are no longer compatible with the newest firefox (I am using v17). So my question is: can this be done? Or shoud I harvest all my bookmarks from the Android device as long as I can and reset the sync account?

Thank you for your reply. However, that guide assumes you have a desktop version of Firefox to insert the codes into and start the pairing to the second device (which can be a desktop Firefox or an Android Firefox), while I need to do the other way around, that is start the pairing from the Android Firefox. If it is possible, how can I insert the pairing codes in the Android Firefox?

Is it possible to use Firefox Sync with more than one browser on a single phone?

I have set up a New Sync account. I have logged in with my desktop Firefox (30a2) and with Firefox release on my Android phone. They seem to be syncing with each other. But with Aurora, it says "Could not sign in". I'm fairly sure I have the password right.
How do I work out what's wrong or debug this?

Yes this should work.
Before new Sync there was a restriction, Release/Beta and Aurora/Nightly were considered one channel each. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=988437 removed this restriction.

Why can't I connect on firefox sync with fennec ?

I put on my username (email adress), my password and my synckey (I tryed wit the "-" and without in the password) and no way, Fennec still does an annoying connect-disconnected routine with "Incorrect username or password" as reason why.
I tryed everything with the same result.
Please help !

There was a problem with the Firefox Sync server yesterday that probably caused this issue. Sync should work correctly if you try it again today.

I have my Android phone synced with my desktop PC and I want to sync a new Laptop but I have no access to my original desktop PC but only to the Android phone

Originally Firefox was installed in my desktop PC. Then I purchased an Android phone and I synced it to my computer.
Now I have no access to my desktop PC and I have purchased a laptop that I also want to sync, but the only device available to make the syncing is my Android phone and I can't see how can I make the syncing

Thank you mluna. I don't have the sync key with me but I have my Android phone with Firefox synced. The answer you linked me links with this other answer: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-manage-my-firefox-sync-account#w_where-can-i-find-my-sync-key
Can I obtain the sync key from my Mobile Firefox? I can't see any option to manage the sync account.

Address book Sync with Lion Server

Hello,
I have set up a Mac Mini with Lion Server and have OD users (no local user on the server). When I login "locally" (using the OD user account), I have my full environment, everything seems to work ok. Also the sync from my iPhone seems to work (only some calendar errors, sync doesn't come up with address book errors). But, as I now have noted, there is not really a sync of the address book. I have an old version of my address book on the server.
How do I properly set up that:
- my iPhone syncs with my OD user's address book only
whereas
- central address book is kept on the OD server as well (without any sync)?
Or did I get something wrong regarding the concept of running an address book on the Lion server ... maybe it's not possible to sync the iPhone to an OD user's address book?
Best regards,
Olaf.

Have you tried rebuilding the accounts in SystemPrefs>Mail, Contacts and Calendars?
Are the machines bound to the directory?
Try setting it up in a fresh account on the broken Mac.
Try setting it up on a different Mac.
Hope this helps,
Brian
