Encountered this error message when my firefox syncssync encountered an error while syncing unknown error

Hi,
When my firefox syncs (be it on my desktop or mac) this error message will pop up. It was working fine a couple of days ago but this just popped-up. I tried de-linking and linking my firefoxes but to no avail.
I used about:sync-log and I have the log but I do not understand what is wrong. The log file is too long to be posted here.
Anyway, thanks in advance.

Sorry, it's Firefox 31 with no master password. I will try to do a clean install and see whether it works.
But here is my latest error log file:

    "Sync encountered''' an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action" - this error message keeps popping up whenever I am on my email accounts. I hit the "Sync Now" icon, but it comes back after a while.

    Note: I just tried deleting and re-creating my Sync account, reinstalling firefox, and deleting places.sqlite, with no success. And "Eooro" from the title is supposed to be "Error".

  • Received an error message "sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error"

    For 2 days now, I have received a message at the bottom of my browser stating "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." I have tried to change my sync settings but that has not worked. I would appreciate assistance with this issue. Thank you.

  • Firefox 6 Linux - Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.

    Linux (Ubuntu 11.04).
    Firefox 6.
    The syncing doesn't work anymore. This message is displayed at the bottom all the time:
    "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."
    Retrying doesn't help.

    I had some luck doing the following - Go to https://account.services.mozilla.com/ and login using your sync info. Find the link to Clear Cache data and clear your sync cache (first time failed, then worked). Then do a manual sync to get back in sync. Seems to have cleared up my issue for the time being.

    I think I managed to fix this.
    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.

  • HT1386 I keep geeting a 'connection could not be established to this iPhone' message when trying to sync.

    I keep getting a 'connection could not be established with this iPhone' message when I try to sync, even thos I can see my iPhone 5 in iTunes & have tested the link by manually transferring songs from iTunes to the iPhone. Can anyone help?

    I am also getting this error with two iPad 2s and an iPhone 5. All are on iOS 6.0.1 and this is with iTunes 11 on a Windows 7 PC. I also have an iPhone 4 that does not seem to have an issue that I can tell. When I plug in the iPhone 5 and one of the iPads, it will start to to sync and right at the end I get that message. It will, however, still continue to sync the device after the error message pops up. With the one iPad, which is rarely connected to computer, it will find the iPad via wifi when iTunes is opened, but I will get that message when it is performing its initial sync.
    While I kept having sync issues when using iTunes 10.7, this is a new issue for me. I was also getting a lot of warnings that the iPhone or iPad could not be synced because the connection was lost even though the iPad and iPhone were connected via USB cable. In those cases, the sync would just abort. I have not gotten that error though in two days. At the time to resolve that issue, I needed to disconnect the USB cable, reset the iPhone/iPad, and then reconnect the USB cable.
    I really wish Apple would figure out these sync issues.

  • Firefox 4 BETA Sync Glitch: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.

    I have a screen shot but no where to send it to? The error says (and it's been repeated multiple times) Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action BUTTON: Sync Now" Clicked button multiple times over an hour... no use. :) (hope this helps)
    Less a question than a feedback about the program. :)
    I realize it will likely be fixed innately, but wanted it to be reported, as I wish to help out the BETA test. *loyal Test Pilot*
    Thanks!
