Cannot sync FireFox bookmarks between Mac and Android

Hi!
I do not succeed in syncing FireFox 29.0 bookmarks between my Mac (10.9.2) and the latest FF for Android on my Android phone (4.2.2)
What I did:
• Made an account on the FF-site, activated account both on Mac and Android.
• In FF prefs, both on Mac and Android, selected bookmarks for syncing.
• Synced FF actively on Mac. Blue wheel takes some time and then seems to be ready.
• Synced FF actively on Android. Both from the FF-account as within FF. States a 'most recent sync' as being done. Seems to be OK too.
• However, on Android, FF, under the tab 'bookmarks' nothing pops up. What do I do wrong?
• Also started up FF in save mode. No difference.
• Deleted my account en signed up again. No difference.
After trying everything, it looks like signing in is the problem... the sync wheel it turning forever...
Thanx!

Sync wheel turning forever there is a bug for this: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1006360] and we could use the steps to reproduce this. Can you please provide an example sync log from the continual sync.
Please go to <b>about:sync-log</b> in your desktop connected to the android device or on the mobile device as well.
places.sqlite file may have a uri corrupted in it.

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
How to do this, without iCloud?

You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want. Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way. While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe.
Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

Cannot sync iSync on my mac and my N95, can you he...

Cannot sync iSync on my mac and my N95
I have installed the update for my N95 8GB
But when i try to add new device it lists it but just says it cannot connect to my phone (strange as iphoto loads straight up when i plug in phone)
i have the phone paired to the computer bluetooth, have tried usb everything but still no joy, any ideas anyone ????
Cheers

Nokia has two different programs for mac users.
1. iSync plugin (to sync contacts and calender)
2. Nokia Multimedia transfer ( photos/video/music/bookmark)
have you installed isync plugin for your N95 device?
plugin is available here: http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/isync/compatibility-and-download
Installing the plug-in
Make sure you have installed all available updates from Apple using Software Update. Minimum requirements are Mac OS X 10.4.9 with iSync 2.4 to use the plug-in unless otherwise stated.
Check the list above to see if your phone needs a plug-in. If so, download the plug-in disk image to your desktop.
Make sure iSync is not running.
Double-click the downloaded plug-in disk image. A virtual disk will open in Finder.
Double-click the enclosed plug-in installer package to start the installation.
After the installation is complete, you can eject the virtual disk and move the disk image file to the Trash.
You can now start iSync with the plug-in installed.
You can download Nokia multimedia transfer from here: http://europe.nokia.com/A4423134

Sync maps bookmark between iPad and iPhone

Hello
I would like to sync maps bookmark between my iPad 2 and iPhone 4
Is there a way to do that ?

There is actually a way via contacts, but not a convenient one.
You have to do it one by one for your existing bookmarks in Maps.
You need a Mac to seperate those "bookmark contacts" from your regular contacts.
I use this method now instead of the Maps bookmarks.
0. Make the necessary setting to sync your contacts with iCloud on your iOS devices (and your Mac if you want to use a "bookmark group")
1. Open a bookmark in Maps (or search for something) then click on the i-icon
2. Choose to put it in a new Contact (modify info as you like)
3. Add item for Notes with the text "bookmark"
This "bookmark contact" will now be synced through iCloud to your Mac and other iOS devices
I don't want my contacts to be cluttered with those "bookmark contacts", so I choose to create a seperate group
4. In addressbook on the Mac do a search for "bookmark"
5. select file --> New group from selection
6. after you've added additional "bookmark contacts" in Maps on your iPhone or iPad you have to search and select them and then drag them to your "bookmark group" in address book on the Mac

ITunes: How can I sync my podcasts between Macs and iDevices?

Hi,
Using iTunes for a decade now, I still having the same problem that I don't know how to solve:
How can I sync my podcasts subscriptions and play states between Macs and iDevices?
I am having two MPBs and one iMac, as well as an iPhone and iPad (yes, making someone rich in California), all of them are linked to the same iTunes/Apple account, they are not in the same Wifi.
What I would like to have that all these iTunes (plural) have the same Podcasts with the same played/unplayed states...
Is there any way to do that now, possible with iCloud? I am completely confused now that they have introduced podcast.app for iDevices...
Thank you for any idea for good solution!

From what I can tell, the Podcast app should do for your iOS devices what you're describing--as long as they all use the same Apple ID. Here's an article with some helpful information about the app:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5295
To keep your subscriptions in sync across all devices, the article says this:
"To subscribe to a podcast on your device, tap the Subscribe button from the podcast provider's page from the Podcast catalog. Enable subscription syncing to keep your subscription up-to-date across your iOS devices. On your iOS device tap Settings > Podcasts > Sync Subscriptions > ON.
To sync playback position, the article says this:
"Playback Sync automatically allows you to sync your playback position to all of your iOS devices with the Podcasts app installed, using your Apple ID. In order for Playback Sync to sync your playback position, you must be signed in to the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID on your iOS devices."
As for keeping playback position on your iOS devices in sync with iTunes on your Macs, you'll need iTunes 11 on all your Macs. So if you're still using iTunes 10 or earlier, you'll need to run a software update to get the latest version. Incidentally, I came across this discussion, which offers some helpful setup/troubleshooting tips about using this new podcast playback syncing feature:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4555757
Hope this is helpful!

Sync of calendars between mac and iphone

Previously, I could sync my phone with itunes and my calendars would update across both devices. couple of months ago I installed mavericks and noticed that there no longer was the option to sync calendars with a wired connection between devices so I rolled back to 10.8.5 and left mavericks well alone
Still on 10.8.5 and with my iphone 4s on 7.1, I cannot send calendar entries from my phone to my mac.
I am not a cloud user and for many reasons I can't/dont want to be a cloud user. Is there any way to recover the two way sync capabilities between devices or is this yet another force of hand from the once mighty apple to push me in a way they want me to go ?
Any advice greatly received

Do you have sync calendars selected in the Device Summary tab in iTunes?

Syncing Mail Notifications Between Mac and iPhone

Hi
I been having this problem with the mail notifications not syncing between the Mail.app on my MacBook Pro and iPhone. Let me explain:
When I get a new email, I hear the sound and see the red notification icon appear on both the MacBook and the iphone. When it comes to checking the new email, here are the two possible scenarios:
a) If I check the new email on my phone, the red notification icon disappears from BOTH the iphone and the MacBook.
b) If I check the new email on my MacBook, the red notification disappears from the MacBook but DOESN'T disappears from the iPhone (that is until I open the app). This happens with both cases, when the app is "running" in the background or when it is complety closed.
I don't know if I am crazy but I am pretty sure that both of the notifications used to disappear before, no matter where I checked the mail.
I tried deleting and creating the email again on my phone, and it didn't work.
Here some info that could help find a solution:
- I'm using icloud email (@me.com)
MacBook
-Mountain Lion
iPhone:
- iOS 6 (this problem started before the upgrade)
- Push is on.
- Fetch (that suppodselly would be used only if push is off) is set to Manually.
- On the "Advanced" sub-menu inside the Mail settings, Push is also selected.
Hopefully this can actually be fix and I can prove myself that I was not crazy!!
Thanks in advance for the help!!

Anyone find a fix for this problem? I've been waiting for this since notification syncing was announced a couple years ago with iOS 6. I use iCloud for my email and find it very frustrating that when I read an email on my Mac or on iCoud.com that it doesn't automatically dismiss the notifications for those emails on my iOS devices until I open the mail app on each iOS device. Notification syncing works great with other apps. With iMessages, for example, when I read a message on my Mac running Yosemite, the notifications disappear on my iOS devices without opening the messages app (badge app icon, home screen notifications and notification center). Why can't they figure this out with email? I remember at my old job, I had an exchange account that properly synced mail notifications between devices, but it has never worked with my iCloud email. I wonder if I am just missing a particular setting or if Apple just blew it here. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

How sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone!!

Hi,
May a trivial and stupid question but never found an answer!
How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone?
Sorry to say that but it's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!
For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened!
Oh yes, sorry, I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?
I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account?
I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.
Why is it so complicated to have that working as the Mac is so user-friendly?
I also try a search on Apple site ... no explanation!
Some one with a clear and simple "How To" to share?
MANY THANKS!
Pierre

Sorry if a made mistakes writing in english my mother thong is french

Looking for application to sync the files between mac and pc

I have a mac and a pc, I would like to backup their file onto an external harddisk.
Will any application work for both PC and MAC?
or I will need two different application installed on my 2 computer?

Mac apps are Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper!, Silverkeeper, etc. On the PC side is ghost. However, note that the formatting xchemes for each type are different and you just might find that you'll need two ext HDs.

Does Icloud sync for bookmarks between Ipad and mac pro with lion work for anyone?

My wife has an Ipad 2 and Macbook Pro tunning Lion. Bookmarks and docs do not sync on icloud. I see from the discussions many are having this problem. My question is does this work for anyone? Am wasting my time trying to make it work?

It works now, but it was a bit of a mess for a bit.
I turned off bookmark syncing on all devices but one, I exported my bookmarks to the desktop and deleted them from safari, thus deleting them from iCloud, I then added them back from the desktop. On my other devices I deleted all my bookmarks, turned bookmark syncing back on and chose to merge.

HT3228 Sync read emails between mac and iphone 5

Every time I acces my pop account from my mac I read all my emails but later on when I acces the same account from my iPhone 5 they all appear as unread, how can I sync them such as they appear read?

This portion of the article you attached tells you exactly what to do.
Simply substitute "Immediately" for "After one week" in the section shown:

Sync LR Catalog between Mac and Windows

I have LR 5 loaded on my Windows machine and my Mac.
I usually do work on the go on my Mac, export the folder I worked on as catalog (without the negatives or previews), and import it into my Windows LR. The folder structure is identical on both machines, except for the very top level folders. This procedure worked until I upgraded to LR 5.7. Now I get the error on my Windows machine: "Lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error." Very descriptive. Thanks Adobe!
So far I have downgraded both machines to LR 5.6, but I still get the same error. Or maybe it's unrelated.
I have also copied the folder from Mac to Win just to make sure there was no corruption and tried the catalog export/import, with same results.
Tried disabling antivirus, still no dice.

Exporting catalog with negatives works, but backasswards. When I import it, it imports it in place where it is located (even though I change the path in the import window) - the thumbdrive, so I have to move the files afterwards to their location on the hard drive.

Sync doesn't work between my mac and android

Hi,
I'm using FF 30 on both my mac and android. I had everything working fine on earlier versions of FF, but as I had to change my phone, I reinstalled FF, upgrading to FF30 in the process. Now I want to get my bookmarks etc back on the phone, so I set up an account on the android, connected to it, and connected to it with my mac as well. All the sync options seem to be checked correctly, I get no error message and both devices tell me I'm connected to my account. Still I can't get the bookmarks on the android. Can you please help me out ?
Cheers

If you open the Sync settings on desktop does the settings say "Pair a Device" below the account info? See attached screen shot.
If so then unlink the device. Restart Firefox and then reconnect the desktop computer to Sync. If not reply and I'll follow up with the Android side.

I have an iMac with 10.9.1 and an iPhone 5 also updated to the newest system and I cannot get a sync set up between Ical and the iPhone or Outlook 2011 mac calendar with the iphone

It depends on what iMac you have. If it is an old PPC (G4 orG5) iMac then no further upgrades are possible. If it an Intel iMac:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

I cannot sync my Notes between my ipad, my iphone and my mac, despite setting Notes to sync with iCloud

I cannot sync my Notes between my ipad, my iphone and my mac, despite setting Notes to sync with iCloud. Any Suggestion?

perfect. ok do the following:
settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
Please confirm.
