Firefox sync doesn't work third day on none of my computers

I have synchronised bookmarks with Firefox Sync on three computers. Since saturday I get on all of them such message : Sync encountered an arror while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.
Of course - no synchronising happens.
I use Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 (updated on Monday from 7.0.0).

There have been problems reported with Sync.

When you create a new Profile you need to '''Set Up Sync''' in that new Profile.

Firefox Sync doesn't work for me.

<pre><i>Locking duplicate thread.
Please continue here: [[/questions/970621]]

It says, "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action".
Is there a way for me to find anymore details about this error so i can post it here? Everytime i try to sync, it asks me to setup and account or use existing account. So i always use the existing account and i have to input my username, password, and recovery key every time. How can i make Firefox sync remember my information for my profile?

Try to delete the current sync account and set up a new account in case something is wrong with the account you currently use.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

WLAN Sync doesn't works on my iPhone after upgrade to iOS 5 and using iCloud.......who can help me ???

Hi - have you had enjoy joy resolving this? I have just updated to 5.1 and I hoped it would fix things but sadly not...

I restored a backup after a corruption and now Firefox Sync ain't working.. I've done it many times before as well but never had this problem.. More details below:

Hi, the buttons in the Firefox Sync tab are completely useless.. Nothing responds and this happens only in Firefox 4, works perfectly in 3.6.10.. Its been like this ever since i upgraded to 4 ever since 4 came out but i never had to touch the settings cuz it continued to work properly despite the useless Sync settings tab.. And now for the first time it's giving this error and i can't do anything about it-"'''''Sync encountered an error while synchronising: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action'''''." Its still working fine on 3.6.10 btw. It's been like this for the past 2 days.. Help? :-/

Ok.. I figured it out.. Somehow the old Firefox sync addon also got added to the addons.. Was clashing with the built in one.. :P

HELP NOKIA. If I can't get this working, my company will force me to get a Crapberry.

Since updating Firefox, Dashlane doesn't work, but I am told you are working on it? When can I expect it to work again?

I updated Firefox and started to use it again, after having problems with it freezing and crashing. I had used it for years, but suddenly it was not working well and I went to Safari. When they indicated an update to Firefox, I updated it and started to again use it, as I always liked the way it worked and most of my Bookmarks were still good. I found that Dashlane did not work with it and I have been told you are aware of this and working on the problem. Please notify me when it is solved, as I want to continue to use Firefox but have to switch back to another browser to get to my bank or stock brokers site. For the record, I use a MacBook with OS 10.6.8.

Could you check to make sure Dashlane is up-to-date? Two other Mac users this week reported success:
* [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1030201 Updated to Firefox 33.1 on my MAC 10.10. My dashlane icon was grayed out (was a green dot) next to menu icon. How can I reactivate Dashlane?] - reinstalled from Dashlane site (4 days ago)

Instructions in "Firefox Sync is not working" don't show me "update"

I am getting sync errors when I open Firefox on my Mac OS 10.5.8.
The article, "Firefox Sync not working," gives instructions saying to open preferences; go to "sync" and click "update." Update doesn't show up as an option.
I am not sure if there are other problems involving sync.
Thanks for any advice.

Firefox Sync would have to be the '''most user unfriendly service '''I have ever had the misfortune to use.
You go round and round in circles from one device to another. Finally you have no idea what is going on and simply give up.
You guys should take a look at Lastpass. To get my information from one computer to another takes about 1minute tops.
I'm over Firefox and thinking seriously about going completely over to Chrome.

On two computers with ubuntu 12.04 & firefox 15, firefox sync does not work

I have three computers that all use ubuntu 12.05 and firefox 15.0
I cant nake firefox sync work, although in eralier days it was flawless. I cant figure out whether the syncing up or syncing down is the problem. Is there any way of knowing what is in the contents of the sync cloud?
I have tried all the remedies posted on the firefox sync site

It is NOT officially recommended to use outdated versions of Firefox, as they will be insecure. (Obviously many users will be able to make their own decisions on the risks and consequences, but others looking for quick fixes may read this thread later)
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]] Note that includes links to the ftp downloads of Mozilla builds of previous versions of Firefox.
On Windows : - Just google it :P
* [[Install Firefox on Windows]]
* also on Windows as an additional version some may consider Firerfox Portable, as an easy install http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable (No need to manually set up multiple profiles)
Also note there is the option of using Mozilla builds on Linux
* [[Install Firefox on Linux]] (IIRC last time I tried it on 64 bit Linux Mozilla tried to install 32bit Firefox so I used a ftp download)
I do not have multiple machines available to test sync, but I would have expected to see reports if Firefox 15 was failing on all Linux installs. Are posts appearing on forums for particular Disto's

I try everything but the wifi sync doesn't work, please help...

Hello,
I tried:
Restore my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1)
Check router settings (tried default settings and reset also)
Check everything in iTunes
Connect to different wifi
Upgrade my MacBook Air to Mountain Lion (1.0.8.0)
....etc.
I have everything latest, I read almost everything about it, tried tweaks, but none of this doesn't work.
When I've got my iPhone connected to Mac through USB with wifi enabled, sync work well...
Everything worked fine all the time and from day to another it doesn't work anymore.
It's a pain in the ***, I have already lost my mind. Nothing work.
I appreciate any help from you guys, thank you very much
(sorry for english, I'm czech)

I probably do not understand your question. But try this, maybe this is what you want. Try iCloud on your iPhone.
Tap Settings App > Wi-Fi > turn it ON. Then go back to Settings and below General tap > iCloud. Make sure your account is there, turn ON what you like and then at bottom select Storage & Backup. Hopefully this will help you.

IPhone/iTunes Wifi sync doesn't work

Hi guys,
I don't even have hope to solve this problem anymore but I guess I should post this anyway and show apple the crap software they're giving us.
I'm on Lion 10.7.4 (iTunes 10.6.1) and, after upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1, my Wifi sync with iTunes stopped working. Out of nowhere. Looking for an answer I started digging on apple foruns and found out there are dozens of threads discussing the problem and literally hundreds of possible solutions. I've tried the following:
- Restart iTunes and iPhone (full power cycle).
- Check the "Sync over Wifi" option on iTunes when iPhone is connected using cable
- Uncheck the "Block iPhone, iPod and iPad from automatically sync" on iTunes > preferences > devices.
- Restart Router
- Reinstalling iTunes
- Restore iPhone
- Move to trash "com.apple.iTunes" and "MobileDevices.framework" files. Restart Mac after.
- Make Airport on Mac and iPhone forget the saved networks and reconfig them
- Open ports on router 123 (all), 3689 (TCP) and 5353 (UDP)
- Disable and enable uPnP on router
- Install Remote app
- Use "Release Liase" option on iPhone under Settings > General > Network > Wifi > Blue Arrow
NONE solved it. I gave up. Apple *****.
Interesting behaviours:
- Remote app doesn't work at all. I can't use it under Home Sharing or that code thing. My phone and Mac simple can't see each other anymore.
- iPhone conects fine using cable. Everything is working and, when I pull out the cable, iPhone vanish from the list. Even with the Wifi option enabled.
So, if any of you can solve it, you will have a place in heaven. And in Apple developing team, probably.
Thank you!

Hi guys,
As I suspected, none of the previous solutions worked. I strongly believe this is some crap in iOS 5.1.1 OR iTunes 10.6.1. More precisely: this is APPLE fault, not something we did wrong or didn't do.
My Wifi sync worked great before this updates (Lion 10.7.2 and iOS 5.0). I can't isolate the problem because I did both updates in less than 24h from one another. Now I'm back to cable and I think I'll still be until Mountain Lion is out.
@rodrigonewtonI sent apple my feedback. Basically everything I wrote here. And I can't connect bluetooth either. Luckily I barely use bluetooth on my Mac.
@ou812ManySushi Lucky you! I'd already tried this without success. What is your iTunes and iOS?
@joejohns90 Doesn't work here, the option is ALWAYS greyed, waiting for my Mac to do something. The only way the "sync over Wifi" button work is pluging the cable. Ironic, isn't it?
Anyway, thanks for the feedbacks guys!

Photo sync doesn't work.

Hi, I'm using iPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 and Windows7 computer.
I took a trip somewhere, took picture (JPG files) with digital camera (Canon DIGITAL IXUS 110 IS) , and I want to send photos to my iPhone.
But It doesn't work. And no error codes. Just iPhone says some photos cannot be synced.
When I start syncing, syncing speed getting slower and iTunes stops syncing photos at some points. For example, it stops syncing after sync 51 photos. sometimes 40, 60...
But I want to sync many many many photos. over 1000 photos
I looked over this site and deleted iPod Photo Cache folder, but it doesn't solve my problem.
I looked in iPod Photo Cache folder and I found .ithmb files are almost 0byte, except 51 .ithmb files if iTunes synced 51 photos successfully.
So, I think there is something wrong at iTunes makes .ithmb files.
PLEASE HELP ME!
P.S. I also have changed directory, but it also didn't solve my problem.

It seems to be size related as far as I can tell; I've had no issue getting 2592x1944 pictures (typically around or under 2Mb each) to sync but photos from a newer camera shot at 5184x3456 (usually around 5-6 Mb) won't. I was going to play around with resizing some of my library but haven't gotten around to it yet.

IPhone photo sync doesn't work.

Since the last iOS update the photo sync in iTunes doesn't work. One event will be shown as many in iTunes, each with only a few photos or even just one in it. In iPhoto all events are ok.
Any suggestion why and how to solve it?

Same issue... https://discussions.apple.com/message/24911815#24911815

Firefox 4 doesn't work on my iBookG4, how can I revert to Firefox 3 with my bookmarks

I was encouraged to download Firefox 4. There was no warning it only works with Intel processors and so doesn't work on my iBook G4 (Power PC). I need to revert to Firefox 3, with all the saved bookmarks. How do I do it? Is there an "un-install/reinstate previous version option somewhere?

i sympathize. there is absolutely no warning that firefox 4 will not work with my g5, and there is no way to get back to firefox 3.6. hello mozilla!!! what were you thinking?!?!??

C7 sync doesn't work after Anna update

I normally sync the agenda between outlook 2003 and C7 with Ovi-suite.
After update to symbian Anna it doesn't work.
Strange is that Ovi suite gives the number of events that did not sync.
So he can recognize them, but can't sync.
Any solutions?
Thanks!
Pietth

I have the same problem in C6-01 after Anna Update, there are another two posts around here with other people with the same issue, an, believe it or not, no answer from Nokia
My problem also affects Ovi Maps favourites. I just could update them once since Anna Update, and now that is failed too
