Firefox Sync Server not returning synchronized info from a new device

I believe that if I already have a Firefox Sync account I should be able to access the data/information for Sync server across different devices even if they are not connected on the Internet at the same time.
Each and every time I add a new machine, it does not return the data/information that I have synchronized on other machine e.g. after changing laptop I expect my data to be safe on your sever and I should access it via my account.
If it does not work that way, why are you then making empty promises about Firefox Sync?

I tried the suggestions at the links above but they did not work. Every time I sync, all addons are uninstalled. I have to back and undo the uninstall on all of them to keep them.

Re: "How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?" There is no link for add new device.

The code for the new device is some 21 alpha numeric characters long. Only a few of the characters fit in the three boxes -- they do not all fit.

The sync key is 26 characters and needs to be entered on the account page (I don't have the device), but if you have the code supplied by another device then you only have a code of 12 characters.

Radius server not returning Filter-id information to access device

I have set up a Radius server (v. 4.15 16 april 2003) on NW65sp2 server
and I'm trying to use it to authenticate to a Watchguard Firebox II
firewall. The authentication functions but apparently the firewall is
not getting (or not parsing) the Filter-Id information to assign access
rights via groups. When I login to the firewall with "user1", the
response is "Authenticationsucceeded, but no access grantedfor user". If
I define "user1" on the firewall and assign it to an access policy, then
everything works. But if I define an access group "group1" and assign
it to an access policy on the firewall and then assign "group1" to the
eDir Access Profile object that is assigned to "user1", (Filter-Id =
group1) I get the above authentication succesful, but no access granted.
Is there a way to identify exactly what information is being sent from
the Radius server to the access device so I can determine if the problem
is on the Novell Radius server side or the Watchguard Firewall side?
I've activated the Radius Debug Log, but that only tells me that it
finds all the relevant objects in eDirectory and that authentication is
successfull, but there is no indication that any other information is
being sent to the access device.
As I understand it, the filer-id's are supposed to allow a link between
the eDir user objects and what access rights are allowed on the access
device (firewall). Essentially this is how I define group memberships on
the firewall using eDir user. Is this assumption correct?
The goal of course is to allow access over the firewall without having
to type in 500 user names on the firewall.
Any ideas or tips on what I could check or configure differently would
be helpful. thanks

thanks for the feedback. I will take a look at the thread you mentioned
and I'll get back to you with the trace as soon as I can arrange it.

Are you using old sync? Please uodate Firefox and use new sync on both of your devices. P.S It will take little time to appear on other device

I have a sync account and used to keep sync with firefox server. Now computer got re-installed and want to sync data from firefox sync server. But I am unable to setup as i dont have sync key.

I have a sync account and used to keep sync with Firefox server. Now computer got re-installed(OS) and want to sync data from Firefox sync server. But I am unable to setup as i don't have sync key.
I would like to just sync with Firefox Sync Server with existing account. I can not find any way out for this. please reply me on
[email protected]

hello, for the old sync system in firefox 28 and below you also had to sign up with a mail address and password originally - to connect firefox to the old account you would need to have all those three pieces (mail, password & recovery key) available to you unfortunately...

Firefox says "server not found".. but is found from other computers? whats wrong?

This is a CISCO-CONFIG-MAN-MIB trap, not an EEM trap. I don't think your EEM applet is being triggered since you have that priority argument in there. Try removing that and leave the syslog pattern alone. You will see the string as a varbind in the trap.

I set up the the sync add on and had no errors.When I sync now I get"Sync encountered an error while syncing:Firefox sync server maintenance is underway..."I have gotten this mesaage for the last 10 hours.Should I wait or is there an issue with my setup?

I just loaded Firefox onto my laptop. I set up the the sync add on and had no errors. When I hit sync now I get "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Firefox sync server maintenance is underway, syncing will resume automatically." I have gotten this message for the last 10 hours. Should I wait or is there an issue with my setup? I checked the Mozilla sync server status and it listed no issues.

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

Firefox Sync does not update automatically when I add a new bookmark.

I use one desktop and one notebook at the same time. Firefox Sync does not update bookmarks between my desktop and notebook when I add a new bookmark from one device or the other. Firefox Sync only updates when I manually sync my data from each device. When I used Google Chrome, the Sync feature updated my bookmarks almost instantly. Is there any way I can make Firefox automatically sync whenever I update my bookmark?

Your imported bookmarks from IE should all be in one folder named "From Internet Explorer". The imported Bookmarks are kept separate for easier identification by the user. You can move them to other folders outside of that folder if you wish; you can also delete any duplicates that you may have placed into Firefox Bookmarks/folders before the import.

How do I get the iCloud to save and sync and upload info from both the devices on my account. Right now I can only do one

How do I get the iCloud to save and sync and upload info from both the devices on my account. Right now I can only do one

You must put each device on the Verizon cloud.
Not both lines on one.
Go and set up a my Verizon account for the second line and you will have Verizon cloud service on that line.
Oh the term "icloud" is a trademark of Apple Inc. Verizon is not Apple.
Good Luck

Firefox sync is not sync after login details entered

I recently formatted my pc, installed firefox, entered my firefox sync info, but no joy, firefox sync doesn't sync my bookmarks and other data, nothing happens or shows!!! useless

hello NissiBloem, firefox sync is not designed as a backup service but to keep multiple devices on the same level.
in order to access the data in your sync account you'd need three components: the '''username''', the '''password '''& the '''recovery key''' generated during the original setup of the account (you're prompted to print it/save it/write it down while setting it up).
in case you have all those three pieces of information available, you can go to ''firefox > options > sync > set-up sync > i have an account > i don't have the device with me'' in order to link firefox to your account.

Could not retrieve connection info from torque connection pool

Hi,
I am using Apache Torque for making connection with my Oracle 9i server.
My Torque.properties file configuration is as follows:-
torque.dsfactory.cpm.factory=org.apache.torque.dsfactory.SharedPoolDataSourceFactory
torque.dsfactory.cpm.pool.maxActive=10
torque.dsfactory.cpm.pool.maxWait=60
torque.dsfactory.cpm.pool.testOnBorrow=true
torque.dsfactory.cpm.pool.validationQuery=SELECT 1 from dual
torque.dsfactory.cpm.connection.driver = oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
I am getting the following error:-
Caused by: org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Could not retrieve connection info from pool
at org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.SharedPoolDataSource.getPooledConnectionAndInfo(SharedPoolDataSource.java:169)
According to me the cause of error is because of the database connection was not available in the connection pool. Or it might be due to The connection was not closed properly becuase of the some issue in the persistent layer.
My Research till now:-
Checked all the connection object properly closed in my classes as well as Torque Classes.
Do anyone have any idea regarding this error. If yes, please suggest some solution for it.
----Anurag----

Hi,
I have my complete Torque.properties file, just for the reference, I have pasted few lines from my torque.properties file. Secondly, I am using the JDBC Driver for my oracle connection & its working fine. The problem is when my application tries to access connection from connection pool, & if it finds no connection in the pool it gives error. After increasing the size of the connection in the pool, still I am getting the same error. Do you have some idea regarding this.

What is the Firefox Sync server address?

Hi, I´m trying to sync my ReminderFox app from 2 computers, but I would need my Firefox sync server address, and don´t know where to find it :(. When setting up Firefox sync I just used the standard Firefox sync server, so I need that "standard" Firefox sync server address, so I could add my account name to it. Please help! Thanks a lot!Sonia

Hi wickedboy,
I am assuming you want to do this: http://reminderfox.mozdev.org/faq.html#s6
You cannot use the Firefox Sync servers to do this. Sync works with a custom protocol (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Weave/Sync/1.0/API) and can't be used to store files such as ICS files from ReminderFox.
Instead, I'd do as that FAQ recommends and use a free iCal server, such as [http://icalx.com iCal Exchange]
