Firefox Sync only Bookmarks when I chose all

- I chose to Sync all (Bookmarks, History,Password etc)
- After a while when I go to Option->Sync I can see only bookmark checked (ticked)
Does it mean FF would sync only bookmarks ?
How would I know what it is syncing !!!

''"There is no any other devices. Only my PC !!! "''
... so you are just syncing the setup of this PC with the server, but no other devices (at least not yet), correct?
What will be synced, is entirely in your hands. Check other boxes, like passwords, history etc (Tools > Options > Sync). Then these contents will be synchronized with the server as well - and with other devices, if you decide to do so later (and if you decide on any of the devices involved, to sync just passwords for instance, then only passwords will be kept synced).

  • Wireless sync only works when I unlock phone. Is there a way to tell itunes my phones unlock code?

    Wireless sync only works when I unlock phone. Is there a way to tell itunes my phones unlock code? Itunes tries to sync all night and posts 50 unknown errors. I unlock the phone and it syncs. I dont want my phone sitting around without a lock code but with wireless sync I cant find a place to tell itunes my code so it can sync? Any help is appreciated... Ray O

    I have the same problem. I am forced to have a PIN set on my devices because I use my corporate exchange email and sync over wi-fi initially fails until I manually unlock the phone/ipad.  #ckuan needs to read the words wiritten.  We know how it's supposed to work but it won't start until you enter the PIN. Until then I get error messages saying either it cannot find the phone or explicitly telling me I need to unlock it.

  • Firefox Sync places "Tabs" from other devices all on a single page.

    Before late yesterday and today, I had never used Firefox Sync. I did eventually find the results under the History menu, under "Tabs from other Devices". The system was not well explained. I searched the internet, and did not find any explanation of where to find the results. All of the "Tabs" were on one page, vertically listed from top to bottom. They were not in the order I had them in my browser windows, but appeared to be in somewhat of a random, haphazard order. Before Firefox crashed yesterday, I probably had 300 - 400 tabs open in the two windows. There is no way the current Sync system will be of any value to me. I have had crashes, for about the last year or so, because my Windows XP computer only has 1.5 Gb of memory, which is still more than a lot of XP computers had. An acquaintance has a Windows Vista computer with 2 Gb memory, and also experiences crashes. I recently purchased a Windows 7 64 bit computer with a lot of memory. I moved by bookmarks over ( for Firefox), and even got Netscape 4.8 running, even though it has a 16 bit installer, that will not run by itself on a 64 bit system, but there seems to be no easy way to transfer the contents of my Firefox tabs over. I considered using MozBackup, to transfer the tabs, but the author said he did not think that was a good idea.

    I have most of the items bookmarked. Having 200 - 300 tabs open saves time, since I don't have to go to the bookmarks, if the tabs are already open. One problem has been crashes, but as long as I can restore a previous session, I can still get to the data. I had quite a few tabs open when I was planning to purchase a new computer. I also follow the stock market, and the weather. I was also looking at various VIrtual Private Networking (VPN) sites. At one time, I probably had 20 - 50 tabs open, just for those. I did bookmark a few, but unfortunately lost the VPN tabs, when Firefox crashed. Even if I don`t go to a particular group of tabs very often, leaving it open is faster, especially since I will know where they are. I often put the computer in standby mode, rather than shutting it off, especially if I will remain in the same location.

  • Firefox Sync loses bookmarks and places them in wrong folders

    One version before updating to the version 31.0 of the Firefox, I began using Firefox Sync. I use Firefox mainly on my desktop computer, which has Windows 8 as an operating system. Occasionally I use Windows XP on a laptop, which also has the latest Firefox installed.
    If I add bunch of bookmarks while using just the Windows 8 machine, Firefox Sync won't lose any of the bookmarks, but if I use the other computer's Firefox for a few moments and while doing that add bunch of bookmarks, problems arise:
    desktop browser either a) lose all of the bookmarks from folders, which I had added last, but folders themselves are still there (they are empty) or b) if the bookmarks don't totally vanish, they are magically moved to a wrong folder (source folders don't get deleted).
    This happens while not touching the desktop browser at all. Sometimes bookmarks appear again like they were never really gone, but I'm not sure does this happen every time as in most cases nothing appears after 10 minutes of waiting.
    From technical point of view it sounds like there could be either counting or folder-id related error, but who would code something so silly like getting the placement of a folder in a hierarchy by counting? If it is id-related.. well, that would be equally awful. Also, there should be something wrong with the syncing itself, but is it really normal that bookmarks totally vanish for some time, before (maybe) appearing again later?
    Or then.. I have an unknown remote user, who manages my bookmarks, while I'm not watching..?

    Seems like things tend to get worse seemingly automatically as my desktop browser constantly merges the latest bookmarks resulting to few empty folders and one with the latest bookmarks (e.g. after adding 3 new folders and putting few bookmarks to all of them) . This happens only in the root of a bookmark hierarchy and thus I can add any amount of folders and bookmarks to the existing subfolders without them getting messed up. Bookmarks residing out of any folder seem to stay intact. I haven't tested what happens if I add subfolders to folders I added last.
    The messing up of bookmarks happens with a delay, so I can happily add lots of bookmarks for an hour or more without anything suspicious happening. I can even close the browser and reopen it. I'm not sure what the actual delay is. Maybe few hours, maybe more. No involvement of other devices required.
    I've tried to reinstall the browser by uninstalling it first which included deleting of the "Firefox" directories from the following directories: "AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\" and "AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox"
    That didn't help either. I guess I could try to use another Firefox account for syncing bookmarks, but I don't have very high hopes toward trying such.
    Simplest reasons might sometimes be the right ones, so in this case I actually could have a remote user, who does some "evil tweaking" to my bookmarks. Or would somebody claim that after being few years in development the Firefox Sync still can not handle the most basic functionality (keeping bookmarks in folders) -- for some people? I read that there are others, who have had similar problems, but that doesn't rule out the possibility this is something else than just a technical glitch.

  • Sync only 1 app without loosing all other data

    Hi
    I am having trouble syncronizing only 1 app from my macbook to my ipad 2. After browsing and reading similar issues i can't seem to find a thread with the same issue as me.
    As i said, i am trying to sync only 1 app from my macbook to my ipad 2, the problem is, as soon as i check the "SYNC APPS" box i am getting a warning about how all apps and their data will be deleted (see attached image)
    Deleting and replacing the apps them selves would not be a problem, i am however concerned about loosing all the documents i have in one of my apps as it would be extremely time consuming to put them back the way they are.
    As a side/history of the issue not, if it was a free app i would just re-download it, but it was a rather expensive paid app and when i go back in the app store to try and download it i am only getting the option to purchase it (i think maybe because it got a huge update). I really do not want to pay for an app that i have already paid for once.
    Is there any way anybody can see to transfer the app from itunes on my macbook to my ipad without loosing the data and files within any of my other apps?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    You do not have to sync the iPhone apps. You can select the content that you want to sync to the iPad and to the iPhone. You do not have to sync your entire iTunes library to either device. I copied this from another discussion explaining how a user and his wife can share an iTunes library but still sync only the content that they want to sync to each device.
    First turn off auto sync in iTunes. Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
    Connect one of your devices to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading.
    Click on a tab in iTunes - Apps for instance.
    Click on the Apps that you want to sync to that device.
    Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked.
    Follow the same procedure for all of the other tabs in iTunes ..... Music, Photos, Movies and so on.
    After you have finished making all of your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    When you are done, eject the first device and do the same thing with the other device. iTunes will now remember the sync configuration on each device.
    You can change that configuration any time that you like by following the steps outlined above.
    If you want to continue to auto sync, turn it back on in the iTunes preferences as described above.
    Something like this should work for you as well.

  • Firefox sync activation dissappears when I restart firefox

    I'm attempting to set up Firefox Sync on two Fedora Linux desktops to sync bookmarks between the two machines. I am able to set up Sync on the first machine just fine, and I am able to add a device on the first machine to include the second machine. (I'm syncing with the firefox sync server, not with a custom server.) However, whenever I quit and restart firefox (on either machine), the sync "activation" or "connection" dissappears: In particular, after a restart, when I select "Edit": "Preferences": "Sync" I see the initial activation screen (i.e., the screen with s single button, "Set Up Firefox Sync".
    I am able to reconnect to the Sync account, so the account on the Firefox Sync server persists. Apparently, the executable "firefox" on my machine is not maintaining the connection information over a restart.
    Also, a suggestion: I would like to be able to browse the sync info on the Firefox sync account separately from the sync connection. This would help me debug connection problems, would enable me to deconflict, correct, or understand erroneous or ambiguous sync's after the fact (if historical log information were provided), and would in general make me feel better about how sync works. In short, I want to be able to see exactly what's in the cloud by viewing the cloud.

    Hi!
    The most probable issue is that you are resetting your password after closing the browser. We have discussed this issue in this other thread: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/823376
    Let me know if that helps.
    Regarding your suggestion, the team is aware of the demand of viewing what's on the cloud and it's planning some improvements in that area.

  • Firefox Sync transfers bookmarks to local files ("file:" scheme) (probably it shouldn't)

    Firefox Sync transfers local files' links ("file:" URI scheme)

    just an update... this is really starting to freak me out for sure. I've just had another InDesign file I created this morning disappear from my local folder on my mac. It actually is lost now as Time Machine doesn't have reference to it, so I have to recreate it again...
    The only thing I can think of that seemed out of the ordinary is I got a 'Sync failed' message this morning and I noticed my synced fonts not working (only got 2 but I really needed them for an update to a project - so that gave me a scare as well). Anyway it seemed to get back on track but it was just after I created this file.
    This is really making me think of ditching the file sync thing. Any response from someone in the know would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • Firefox Sync settings lost when closing Firefox 4.0 RC

    i have upgraded 2 PC's from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4.0 RC. The first installation is on a PC with Windows XP. Here everything works fine and Firefox Sync is active. Second installation is on a Laptop with Windows 7 SP1 64bit. Here i have to attach Firefox Sync to my account each tme i open Firefox (in the options screen i don't see "Manage Acount" but "Setup Sync"). I even tried to run Firefox with admin rights to ensure write access to my drive, but this didn't helped too.

    Sorry to hear that Firefox is losing your Sync account. Have you installed Firefox for Android on an SD card? We are tracking reports like yours at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768102. We think that Android itself is deleting accounts when the Firefox app is installed on the SD card. Can you check if Firefox is installed on an SD card?

  • Firefox Sync: "Unexpected error" when signing in, "Forgot Password", or Create account.

    I noticed that there was a message that said reconnect to Sync. I clicked on it, and typed in my information, however, it keeps giving me an "Unexpected error" message in a red bar above my the e-mail address field. I've tried other tips, and now my bookmarks and add-ons are gone.
    I was able to sign into: https://account.services.mozilla.com/. Please help me as I spent a lot of time and effort on my bookmarks.

    hello hutothebert, firefox 29 and above use a new sync login system (https://accounts.firefox.com/) which isn't compatible with the old username/password/sync-key method (https://account.services.mozilla.com/) anymore.
    however you could try this "hack" to get a new firefox version to connect to an old sync account:
    enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere in that page & create a new string preference named '''services.sync.username''' with a value like '''fake'''.
    afterwards you should be able to connect to the old account through the firefox options > sync panel. if this worked and you could import your data successfully, please migrate to the new sync afterwards: [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]

  • Firefox sync does work when downloading, fails on uploading

    I openend a bug report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1118958, but so fare no one took it. I am currently running 35.0.1 and still having the same issue.
    I did took a clean profile, and just set bookmarks to sync. I created a new sync account. I am experiencing upload issues for my computers in my home network, download works fine. Access from other networks, e.g. mobile works fine as well.
    I never had this problem with the old sync. I can not track down the problem. There is no fancy firewall deployed, and I never experienced any other problems regarding internet connection. I restarted the router just in case, with no change. I would help me already just to understand the error message. For what reason might this error message arise? Is it related to authentification or is the sync server involed. In the latter case I could run an own instance to see if this would be of any benifit, but I think it is authentication related. Am I right?
    Cheers kodi

    So now you have 2 Profiles on the same Sync account?
    ''That works good for me when playing with Sync. One each Profile for Release, Beta, Aurora, and Nightly channel versions.
    You're getting logged in to the Sync server, after some "housekeeping" as far as fixing an issue listed starting on line 14 in both those Pastebins.
    And after all that "housekeeping" I see this un-fixable error down at lines 206 and 187.
    '''Status.sync: success.sync => error.login.reason.network'''
    And with all three logs taken into account, that was on two different Sync servers. The first one was on a different Sync server.
    This is what the error handler came up with. <blockquote>bookmarks failed: Error: NS_ERROR_NET_RESET (resource://services-sync/resource.js:394:18) JS Stack trace: [email protected]:428:12 < SyncEngine.prototype._uploadOutgoing/doUpload<@engines.js:1393:20 < [email protected]:525:42 < [email protected]:1441:9 < [email protected]:1492:7 < [email protected]:216:11 < [email protected]:213:1 < [email protected]:148:21 < [email protected]:657:5 < [email protected]:199:7 < [email protected]:149:15 < [email protected]:1275:7 < [email protected]:148:21 < [email protected]:103:16 < [email protected]:1265:12 < sync/<@service.js:1257:14 < [email protected]:77:16 < [email protected]:1245:5 </blockquote>
    I have no ideas about what that is about. It seems that you do get logged in but there's a problem arising when Sync attempts to synchronize data.
    If you have the time, setting up your own Sync server should bypass that error - if my "read" about that it is happening on the Sync servers is correct.

  • Firefox loads only blank new tabs for all web pages, with blank url bar.

    After a minor automatic update (16.0.1 --> 16.0.2), firefox is now completely unusable.
    Any time I attempt to load a page, it only shows a blank tab labeled 'new tab'.
    The url bar for this page will be blank if I try to open it from a link or bookmakrk.
    The url bar for this page will be exactly what I typed if I manually typed a url.
    Right-clicking the blank pages does nothing: no context menu.
    The 'troubleshooting information' page DID load properly though; it's the only page I've been able to display at all so far.
    Restarting firefox did not fix the issue.
    Restarting firefox in safe mode with addons disabled did NOT fix the issue -- so please don't waste time trying to tell me it's the addons.
    Changing network proxy settings did not fix the issue.
    There are no connection problems: IE can load pages just fine from the same computer.
    I love mah firefox... but now it's dead... please help!

    Update: Solved:
    Firefox works properly after restarting entire computer.
    It's poor form to require computer restarts for minor browser updates... and even poorer to not say so when you do.
    (Some of us are running servers in the background that should not be interrupted.)

  • How can I prevent my screen getting covered with black and white lines while working on the internet which only happens with firefox and only go when I 'go back' or go down a page?

    It happens as I surf - horizontal black and white lines particularly when I scroll down and only goes if I can go to a new page or go back a page. It is driving me crazy and only happens with firefox. I have disabled all plug ins but it still happens.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • Ipad not syncing, only charges when off

    Disclamers: I use the larger original usb plug to charge (not a small iphone brick or my laptop). And a car adapter that is rated for iPad. There is no water damage. It was dropped a long time ago but has worked without problem before and since.
    Last week my iPad (1st Gen) stopped charging when I plugged it in. Nor is it recognised by iTunes when I plug it into my macbook pro. Here are the steps I've taken.
    1. Turned it off and on like this:
    "Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the  Apple logo appears."
    No help.
    2. Then I reset it like this (multiple times):
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    No help.
    3. Turned it off and plugged in the cord and it came on. Confirming that the cable is recognised by the device (hardware anyway). But when the lock screen appeared there was no lightening bolt in the battery confirming that it was not charging.
    4. Plugged in and turned it off and left it for a while. When I turned it back on by holding the Sleep/Wake button I had 5% more charge than when I started. I did the same thing last night (all night) and got it up to an 80% charge.
    5. This morning I did all of the above again with no luck so I went into Settings-> General-> Reset and "Reset All Settings" when it restarted it still did not show it was charging. So I did a reset again. No help.
    6. I then went back and did an "Erase All Content and Settings." with the same result.
    7. Updated Lion to 10.7.4 and iTunes to 10.6.1 (7). But it is still not recognised.
    So now, for all my troubleshooting effort I have an iPad with no info on it and no way to sync it.
    Can anyone see something else that I might try?

    For what it's worth, I have the same problem. It started a few days ago while on a trip.
    Now, charging is very slow (without the lightning bolt or even with a "Not Charging" message over/near the battery icon, tried three cables which all work with iPhone and 2 chargers + the computer), iTunes doesn't recognize the usb connection (I tried three cables which all work with my iPhone) but wifi sync works.
    I went through almost the same steps as you without luck.

  • I recently purchased a new computer and activated firefox sync and Bookmarks came across OK but without passwords. Went back to reload in event of error and user name and password that was accepted earlier now rejected.

    As above sync worked but without passwords, all efforts to enter site to remedy were rejected and password reset refused. To my amazement when I came to file this question name and password was accepted.

    this helped soo much thank you!
