Errors while syncing

I sync with MobileMe for my iMac & iPhone. Recently I am getting multiple error messages indicating there is a problem with certain events in MobileMe.
Presumably during the sync process it throws up numerous errors, the message as follows
Access to "xxxxxxxxxx" in "Home" in account "Mobile Me Diary" is not permitted.
The server responded:
"HTTP?1.1 403 Forbidden"
to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation
It gives the option to go Offline or Revert to Server. I normally choose the latter.
I have tried to track down the offending "xxxxxxxx" and it seems to be related to old items in the diary but it will not allow me to delete these.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the discussions,
There is no other way than to restore your ipod to get rid of that big "other" section. If something goes wrong during a sync, the result is that additional part to the "other" section.
You can try to use your last backup first, but if this does not solve your problem, restore "as new ipod" to make sure your not using corrupt files from your backup.

If your ipod is not recognized in iTunes anymore, connect in recovery mode to restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Can't get firefox sync to work. I keep getting 'Error While Syncing' message

I am on Mac OS X 10.6.4, Snow Leopard on a Mini Mac a year old.
I got a message from X Marks telling me they were shutting down.
As I use my bookmarks every day and have thousands of them all sorted into folders I definitely never want to lose them or lose access to them if my house burns down or my computer is stolen!
I was using Firefox 3.6 and followed X Marks advise and downloaded Firefox Sync...but...won't work....kept giving me the 'Error While Syncing' message after trying to sync for a while. I looked at the blog and tried a few things like resetting password, restarting computer, checking my setting etc., but no deal. So, as the Firefox Sync download page told me that if I was using Firefox 4 beta the feature was built in and I didn't need the download, I then downloaded Firefox 4....which has removed my X Marks option, which was at least viable till after Xmas! and I still have the 'Error While Syncing' message beside the Sync button on my status bar....so now I am completely at a loss. The only thing I can do if I can't fix it up is go back to 3.6 and go on using X Marks while it is still available and pray that you get this sorted out before they dissappear.
I also like to be able to get my updated bookmarks on the other browsers I use, like Chrome and IE, so I would really appreciate it if you would include this cross browser sync capability as soon as you can. I have pledged X Marks that I would even pay for their service to continue as it seems they are so ahead of anyone else in their service and it is a large pain in the you know where that they can't keep going.
Thanks. and I hope you can help. From the blogs it seems that I am not the only one having this problem of getting the Firefox Sync working

@globaltruth
Thank you for your suggestion. I tried it. Unfortunately, the error message still sits on my statusbar, right after the Firefox Sync image.

Error while syncing can not be erased and have gone to all articles and nothing has worked. Have tried to erase my data in the sync file and that can not be done - it says try again another time. What now?

Have gone into my snyc data file to erase all data - error says that it can not be done at this time. I still have the error while syncing on my bar. Have tried to get a new sync number and that will not change - it goes back to the original how can I start over and try again?

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Firefox sync getting an error while syncing

I my previous profile was corrupt and not working, so I recently created a new profile and logged it into my sync account. Everything seemed fine at first, but towards the end of the day I started getting the error message at the bottom of the screen that sync was encountering an error while syncing.
Below is some of the error message I am seeing in the log file:

Okay, I have just cleared all my history and I am still getting the error. When I have "history" unselected this computer syncs up fine, with it selected I get the error. Is there some additional information that can help narrow down what is causing the problem.
I current sync 3 machines to this account, a Mac, an Android Phone and a Windows 8 PC. Below is the log file as it stands now.

How to fix "Sync encountered an error while syncing:Unknown error."

In mid July, after the firefox update, I had decided to close firefox like I usually do before I open the client for my MMORPG Aion, so I did. I end up not turning on firefox for a few days and when I did my bookmarks were gone as well as my toolbar bookmarks and my history. I start to wonder what happened and then I realised that there was a grey bar at the bottom of my browser stating, "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.." I had no idea why this would happen as I never had this problem before so I look at the firefox support database but since I'm quite the greenhorn when it comes to programming there was only so much I could understand. I did try looking for corrupt or locked profiles but I saw none. Now as of today it's going on 2 months since the problem began and just today I recieved the firefox 32.0 update but still have this problem so I'm at my wits end and I not sure if I'll ever get it working again. Also my sync account is the one under the new system I had updated a few days before the problem began it also seems to be working on my other devices. Im lost without my bookmarks please help.

Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.

Bookmarks vanished on multiple computers.
Error message on all platforms: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.
Android device seems unaffected. Attempts to re-sync good data from android device have no effect.
I filed a bug report but after over 15 days it was marked as a duplicate and rolled into another bug report.
The solutions there are way (WAY) beyond my technical level of expertise, and look to be for the unix OS.
Something about a corrupt root.
I've been very reluctant to clear my sync data, because the impression I get is that I'll lose all my bookmarks. The entire reason I started using Sync was to back them up!
Computer1: Win7 enterprise sp1, 64bit. Firefox 17.0.1

If you've lost bookmarks then you should make a backup copy of the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Firefox sync encountered an error while syncing

For the past week or so I've been getting an error bar at the bottom of Firefox stating "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." If I click the Server Status button it says the server is working fine. I've tried resetting Firefox, no good. I've also tried removing this machine from my sync account, deleting places.sqlite and readding it to sync, also no good. Log is below:

BB Error while sync with outlook

Hi-
Appreciate if you guys can help me in finding a solution!
I am getting the following error while syncing with OutLook " error record with specific id error (FF1E892B) not found"
I am using BB Tourch 9800!
Rgds.

Found out that this is a known error with no established timeframe for a fix.

"Sync encoutered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."

Hi,
I want to switch from Chrome to Firefox but I have an issue with the Sync feature.
It always shows the following error: "Sync encoutered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."
I already tried this workaround but it did not work: delete my Sync account, completely reset my Firefox profile, import my Chrome bookmarks (using an HTML file), setup a new Sync account (using the same address email then the previously deleted one).
But I still get the error message.
I've seen in other threads that it could be an issue with the history so I also tried to delete it but it did not work either.
Here is my last sync-log file: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8219943
Thanks for your help.

I've finally found a solution to that Sync issue:
I downloaded the "Places Maintenance" add-on and run the integrity check routine and it seems to have fixed the issue.

"sync encountered an error while syncing" (Firefox 4.0b12pre)

Fore weeks now, Firefox 4.0b12pre has not been able to sync. I get the following error message in the status-bar: "''Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action" [Sync Now]''
I have the nightly build on 2 PCs (Windows 7 64-bit). I have tried "Reset Sync" with no success. All of my backup bookmarks are from after the problem manifested itself (so I didn't do a restore from backup).

There was a server out last week. see below. now everything works great. thanks for the follow up.

19:39:11 PDT --- Well, this is embarrassing. It looks like one of our
servers was down and for whatever reason we didn't notice.
It should be working now. If you still see errors, please reopen this bug.

Sync encountered an error while syncing only on my windows desktop not my Mac laptop

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate desktop and a MacBook Pro (mid-2010) running OS X Lion (10.7). Firefox Sync works properly on my MacBook Pro, but I have been getting error messages on my Windows 7 Ultimate desktop that say: "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." Both computers have the latest version of Firefox installed (5.0.1). I have tried removing the add-on, and deactivating and reactivating the device, all on both machines. All to no avail. The only thing I can think of that I haven't yet tried is to setup a whole new Sync account, but I do not think I should have to go to that extreme. Any help is appreciated.

If you have tried everything, you should, first open a bug with the log of your server error (so the team can fix it) and then replace the info in the server. It's probably corrupted:

Sync encountered an error while syncing. Unknow error

I keep on getting the following error message: "Sync encountered an error while syncing. Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." Also, at this time, my bookmarks are useless: I lost all my bookmarks and I cannot add any new ones.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Sync encountered an error while syncing, after 6.0.1 uptade

Syncing was working fine, but after the 6.0.1 update on one computer, I started getting a:
Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.
If I click on the Sync now button, same error. I check my sync key and it's correct.

The problem persists even after the 6.0.2 update. At one point in time on Saturday it did sync, but it still went back to not synching.

How do I supress the "sync encountered an error while syncing" bar? I get it every time I connect to a work VPN that is isolated from the internet.

Background: For work I routinely need to connect to a secure VPN that is completely isolated from the internet. When using it, I can only connect to the servers that reside within the network and the VPN software (Cisco AnyConnect + NAC Agent) seems to automatically redirect all http requests to external sites to a catch-all 'sorry you can't do that' page.
So while connected to the VPN, Firefox Sync doesn't work and nor do I expect it to. However, my issue is that every time I connect to the VPN, Firefox silently pops up a "sync encountered an error while syncing" error message bar at the bottom of the browser, which I have to manually close. This obviously isn't the end of the world, but having to do it all the time gets annoying so I was wondering if there was a way of suppressing that particular error message or maybe getting Sync to handle the secure VPN more gracefully.

I don't know about blocking that message, but my suggestion is to turn Sync autoconnect off, and use Sync manually.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
Then type '''''autoconnect''''' in the Search bar at the top. <br />
'''services.sync.autoconnect''' = double-click that pref to toggle it to '''false'''.
Then to trigger a Sync manually, hit '''Sync Now''' in the Firefox menu ''(or the File menu)''.

I get the error message in Firefox 5 "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."

Hello Firefox support. I just started working on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine running Firefox 5 and am constantly getting the following Sync error: "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." I can't find an accurate solution on the web. Please help!

Exact same error message here here. Haven't checked our other systems. This one is:
* Firefox 5
* Canonical 1
* Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS
