Firefox Sync is not working properly on MacBookPro (intel) OS X.6.7

On the help screen for my question, first of all - and this is in the MAC OS section! - there are photos of the Windows screens for setup of Firefox sync. This bothers me more than just on an aesthetic level, but how on earth is that supposed to help me fill out MY preferences on a MAC?!?! There is a question asked, "Show me how, I have lost my other device" with a link that brings you to an article entitled "Where can I find my Firefox sync key? | How to | Firefox Help" which is where I see Windows screens which are completely different from the ones I see under Mac OS Firefox 4. With different options, layout, etc. So of course this is of absolutely no help to me whatsoever! Come on guys, when I'm in the Mac OS Section I EXPECT to find windows which not only LOOK the same as the ones I see on my computer, but which have at least the same OPTIONS available to me so I can understand WTF you're talking about!! I still cannot find out what to do when I don't have access to the original device I set up the Firefox Sync with. Can you figure out how to help me?

I have the same problem, fixed it by disabling hardware acceleration in options - advanced - general.
Still having other issues with things not working and displaying correctly though.

  • 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

  • HELP SYNC is Not working properly, very frustrated

    I have a first gen I pod touch.
    I just uninstalled Itunes 10.5.2.11 and installed 10.5.3.3
    Untill just 3 days ago, everything worked fine.
    Then I tried to create a play list for some videos and found out I could not do so.
    Then I found out some of my play list files were not being transfered and some were.
    So here is the problem
    I have several play lists.
    Bellemy
    Workout
    are just 2 of them. Bellemy is not syncing one of the 2 songs in that folder unless I check it. If I leave it unchecked, it will not appear in my play list in intunes after I sync my I pod.
    The workout  one, will only transfer all the songs, if I leave the ones the IPod has on it, unchecked in itunes.
    This is really starting to get to me. Every time I have to do a software upgrade to this thing, or to the computer, something always goes wrong..
    and I have no idea how to get my play lists to sync properly to my ipod touch.
    Any help apprecated.

    Hey Suresh1118,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes Authorization when syncing your iPhone. The following articles provide the most relevant troubleshooting:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

  • When I updated to ios 5 I was forced to create a new Apple ID. Now my iTunes sync does not work properly.  Why did it do this and is there a way to fix it?

    I already had an iTunes account when I pushed the iPhone.  After upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, I kept receiving an error message saying that my AppleID was invalid, even though it worked perfectly within iTunes on my PC.  It seemed to want my email address as my "new" AppleID so I entered that, but it created a second ID. It seems my cloud account and the "phone" iTunes is attached to the newer ID and my "PC" iTunes account is attached to the older ID.
    Now, when I try to sync iTunes, I don't see all of the songs I purchased, some sync and others appear to sync but are grayed out with the sync icon next to the title. The songs are still on my phone, but not in my iTunes library. 
    Is there any way to fix this and consolidate the accounts? Also, why did the upgrade force me to create a new AppleID? I haven't upgraded to the 4 or 5 phone because I'm afraid this is going to happen again and I'll have a third AppleID to contend with.
    Thanks!!

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

  • Firefox Sync Bookmarks not working!

    On one of my computers, I cannot sync the bookmark data on firefox (4b10), it works fine with bookmarks unchecked and everything works on another computer with 4b10, but it only gets an Unknown Error on the first computer.

    Hi Hiro!
    Have you tried to go through the process in [[Safe Mode]]? It's possible that one of your add-ons is interfering in how the buttons are working.
    Let me know if that helps.

  • Firefox sync is not working on solaris

    I am running a current, internal build of OpenSolaris and firefox for
    Solaris version 3.6.10. I created a new profile that only has the Sync
    add-on installed and started firefox with that profile. Here's what I
    did:
    1. Earlier I had uploaded a bunch of bookmarks using Sync on my MacBook Pro.
    2. On Solaris I access the Sync prefs and click on Reset Sync.
    3. I choose replace all local data with my remote Sync account data.
    4. I see a "Error While Syncing" message in the lower status bar. When I click on it it states it is an unknown error.
    Note that I am using Sync version 1.5.

  • Firefox 9.1 not working properly in QuickBooks Online Pay One Vendor page - help?

    "Pay one vendor" page in QuickBooks Online is supposed to display open billings when a vendor is selected. As of Firefox 9.01 it no longer does that. I spoke with Intuit help (1-800-488-7330 ) and they seem to be aware of the issue. Need workaround, fix, or way to back down to previous version. (9.01 under Windows 7 Home Premium version 6.1 build 7601 Service Pack 1)

  • Firefox 5.0.1 Sync is not working even after info replaced and device added again.

    No errors were displayed so I followed guidance in articles "Firefox Sync is not working" (Uninstalled Sync add-on, updated Firefox on all devices, and Replaced Sync data) and "Replace your Sync information" which worked to get identical bookmarks on desktop and laptop. I used the desktop data as the sync data and added the laptop as a device. But when I change bookmarks on the laptop the changes do not sync with the desktop. I don't know what else to do.

    Thanks for the suggestion Ibai, but I'm pretty sure I did that and it still didn't work. In my frustration I decided to try XMarks, which is accomplishing my needs, but I'm concerned with this as a long-term solution because it was recently purchased by the "Last Pass" company, which disabled password sync. This is not a huge deal for me because I use 1Password, but I'm worried about XMarks somehow becoming incompatible with 1Password as the Last Pass company moves forward with encouraging people to use their password software instead. Since it is working now I'm hesitant to mess with it anymore. Does that sound reasonable or should I trash the XMarks add-on and reconfigure Firefox sync and make sure I click the Tools->Sync Now drop down to give Firefox sync another try? Pros/Cons?

  • ITunes Not working Properly/Not Syncing on Network properly

    Hello there,
    For weeks and weeks now on my Computer iTunes will not see or recognize my iPhone 4S and my iPad 3. When I try to sync by opening iTunes on desktop and then wake up pho ad iPad it does not see it and will not show them in iTunes no matter what I do. I have reset network, forget network, renew lease on wifi network and shut down both and turned back on and nothing has worked!!! I have reported this many times as well in the past. It is like Apple themselves have changed the way iTunes suyncs with the phone and ipad when trying to sync to make updates on apps.I am at wits end!!! Since they did the update to 10.6.1 it has been a pain in the you know what to sync to update apps.I got to plug both in to computer for them to sync and update apps or update apps from the iphoor ipad itself. Please Apple or someone who knows what needs to be fixed please fix it it is very aggrevating it has been weeks like this and I would have thoughht that Apple would have gotten the hint when I have seen others complain about this as well. It is from what I see most of the time it is with Windows 7 computers that have this syncing connectivity issue but I do see it happen in Wndows Vista as well as I have both operating systems here with 2 iphones, 1 iphone 4s logged in to windows vista when updating apps and the other which is windows 7 and it has ipad 3 and iphone 4s attached to it to sync when updates to apps become available. I hope some can make sense of all this and help or get apple to fix the issue finally!!!!

    well, it is easy. i just wish it to sync in a manner that i do not get frustrated with it. it just does not like to sync when i open up itunes on desktop to update apps when they have updates. i have got to revert to plugging in the phone and ipad for it to sync and update apps. if you read through the whole thing you would have found it out. all i am saying is that itunes 10.6.1 and ios 5.1 have bugs and issues that make it hard for a iphone and ipad user to sync and update apps. itunes is slow to open with windows 7 as well as i did not mention that before but i have mentioned it in my other forum posts.
    summary:
    itunes 10.6.1, is slow to open on windows 7,
    syncing ipad and iphone does not update without plugging them in.
    wifi sync is not working properly or as it should, it doesn't recognize phone and ipad unless plugged in.

  • ITunes not working properly with HP running Vista home premier

    My Ipod touch works fine on my windows XP pro system but does not sync photos and podcasts from my other computer at home: new HP Multimedia system running Vista Home Premier. It goes through all the motions but will only add a few photos from a file and they are partially corrupt. Many times it won't add any selected photos. Same with podcasts, they won't sync to the ipod. Have tried various USB ports.

  • At the very foot of the window - showing firefox website - there has been "firefox synch is not working - cannot find - (something like that what's to do

    This has been so - since my Fox Tabs and top sites went missing and the operation of firefox - tabs and ALL was subjected to an invasion my search/conduit - I need my Techie friend - he recommended firefox - but after search /conduit barged in every thing was quite spoiled - My Techie buddy called them Spy-Wares - I have malware bytes and that clears most of it - but I do not find it easy to get the tabs back

    Hi Patricia,
    A notification that Firefox sync is not working can be compared to the official timestamp of the last Firefox sync in the about:config page. search for "lastsync" and that will have a value of when it last synced.
    I am happy to hear that the virus scan cleared most of the issues. In order to get the tabs back from the last session you can click sessionrestore on the home page. [[How do I restore my tabs from last time?]] may be helpful, however if you have restarted Firefox since the tabs may no longer be there.
    This add on allows session restore called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager]

  • The Connect from Intel Pro/1000 T to 1000base-t Port on Catalyst 4000 (WS-X4412-2GB-T= module) Not Working Properly

    The connect from Intel Pro/1000 T to 1000base-t port on Catalyst 4000 (WS-X4412-2GB-T= module) is not working properly. The Intel Pro/1000 T NIC connects to a 10/100 OK. Auto-negotiation is set at both ends. We can successfully ping across the link. However performance is so poor as to make the connection unusable.

    When an Intel Pro/1000 T NIC is connected to a Catalyst switch, the customer may see poor network connections or excessive numbers of dropped packets. The problem arises when a module with a TBI interface transmits an odd byte packet to a receiver with a Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII).
    The interoperability issue is a result of the implementation of Carrier Extension. Carrier Extension is detailed in sub section 35.2.3.5 in the IEEE 802.3 specification. Carrier Extension can be used to pad the last byte of a packet, so the packet is aligned on an even numbered boundary.
