Firefox sync: unknown error while syncing

Has anyone gotten firefox sync to work with firefox from [extra]? I can connect but I always get an unknown error when trying to actually sync. When running in a terminal no output is given.
Any advice?

Hm that's weird, everything work fine here both on Arch and XP.
According to this site http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/942916-firefox-sync/ possibly is bug
Oh btw, take a look at your sync log, open new empty tab then
about:sync-log
Anyone here have same issue?

  • 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

  • "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: Unknown error. SYnc will automatiall retry this action" - this error message keeps popping up

    "Sync encountered''' an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action" - this error message keeps popping up whenever I am on my email accounts. I hit the "Sync Now" icon, but it comes back after a while.

    Note: I just tried deleting and re-creating my Sync account, reinstalling firefox, and deleting places.sqlite, with no success. And "Eooro" from the title is supposed to be "Error".

  • Unknown error while syncing -50

    Just a quick question if no answer thats fine but I just got a new iPod Classic 120GB and just went to sync it for the first time with my library and got an error saying iPod cannot sync because an unknown error occurred (-50). I had this problem with the previous iPod i just replaced which was a 5g 30GB iPod. It's no big deal because all my music, photos, and videos still sync. I was just wondering if anybody knew what it could possibly be from and because it is happening with both iPods. Thanks in Advance.

    Hey Krasi,
    Are you syncing the iPod Classic on you're Mac or PC?
    If you're syncing it on your Mac; are you syncing photos to the iPod Classic?
    There may be a problem with the iPhoto library or the iPod photo cache. Try deleting the iPod photo cache and then rebuild the iPhoto library if the issue persists.

  • Sync Services error while Syncing with Mac & Entourage 2004

    Hello All,
    I got an error '.Mac Sync Error' screen while syncing from Entourage 2004, v11.3.3 for Mac. OS X 10.4.10. Some data did sync, but the entries that did not are apparently untraceable. It said, "You can't modify a record that doesn't exist."
    I tried wiping the old Addressbook on the Mac side to eliminate any corrupt
    data. The first sync with Entourage and subsequent sync gives the same
    error. Funny but my iPhone syncs great with Addressbook and doesn't give a
    similar error. It may be that this error is on iCal instead. How do I find the error from the number given?
    I checked the database in Entourage with Database Utility and no errors were
    found. I also backed up the database and compacted it just so I'd have a
    copy.
    The database does somehow get duplicate information to Addressbook with
    subsequent syncs which end up duplicating entries on both Addressbook and
    Entourage. iCal seems reliable but I don't know...

    The push descriptor indicates that your machine is trying to push—or, send—data to an Unfiled calendar that does not exist elsewhere. 'Elsewhere' could be in the truth database on that machine, at .Mac or on another synchronized machine.
    It's clearly not on your local machine in iCal anymore. If you reset the truth database by using the Reset Sync History… option in iCal, it should no longer be present on .Mac, if you subsequently synchronized. If you opted instead to Reset Sync Data and pushed records from .Mac to your machine, it is likely that it once again resides in your copy of iCal. If you opted to Reset Sync Data and pushed records from .Mac to your machine, it will not be present in iCal.
    The most reasonable explanation, given what you have described and the error dialog you printed, is that this Unfiled Calendar exists on another synchronized Macintosh. If that is the case, you must also delete it from the copy of iCal on that machine.
    If you don't have another synchronized machine in your pool, I can give you a terminal command that will completely obliterate your truth database and require that you start all over again, reregistering all of your clients—including Entourage—and starting all over.
    You should, by the way, disable Entourage synchronization to isolate it and temporarily simplify your synchronization pool, until you have resolved this issue. Do not simply delete the Entourage calendar from iCal, for that will result in the deletion of matching records in Entourage itself during the next synchronization event.

  • "MobileSync stopped working" & "Yahoo Go Sync Client" error while syncing

    I know the iTunes 9.1 update errors have been reported in this forum. Not sure if others are experiencing the same issues of syncing. I have an iPhone 3G and I sync my calendar and contacts via iTunes to my laptop. I use Microsoft Exchange for e-mail syncing not Mobile Me.
    I am receiving the error "MobileSync stopped working" since the iTune 9.1 update. I am also getting Yahoo Go Sync Client error with the MobileSync error. I am running Windows Vista with MSOutlook 2007. I have restored my IPhone. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes on my laptop. I unstalled and reinstalled Apple Mobile Device Support via my PC's Control Panel. Nothing has worked.
    Any suggestions / recommendations?

    I agree that Apple has let their customer base down. And since they are introducing a new product you'd think they would be extra responsive right now. I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. No one gets to see the wizard! I used to be able to sync my contacts with my Yahoo account but no more. I received the same error that is listed in the subject line. I resorted to creating a Google account which seems to be working. But iTunes locks up all the time and keeps trying to "contact yahoo" in the background even though I have it pointed to syncing with Google. I'm also now getting an error that I have not had to deal with since I had my first iPhone. The dreaded "no default mail client" error. I don't have Outlook only Outlook Express using Microsoft XP. Any suggestions would be appreciated in how to get rid of the last error. I can't remember how I finally got rid of that one as it's been several years now.

  • I get error message when trying to use Firefox Sync after upgrate to 5.0. The message reads: "Sync encounted an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action" I am using Windows 7.0 on a stationary computer.

    Simply: Firefox Sync doesn't work after upgrade to 5.0.

    You can have a try, unmark the Tabs in Sync of Preferences.

  • Issue with sync error: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.

    Hi, i have just recently started having an issue with Sync on my desktop. My associated Android and Mac Laptop do not experience any issues when attempting to sync, but the desktop constantly gives the same error. I have tried unpairing the desktop, clearing all files, restarting and then adding the desktop to sync once again, but the error persists.
    All of the bookmarks on the desktop have vanished, but are still in my sync data and have no problems being viewed on the other paired devices. This also tells me that the issue isn't the sync server and is something unique to the desktop machine.
    I am hoping that this won't require a reinstall, but if all else fails, it is an option. I will try to attach a log file once i have submitted the question.

    I agree. Too many issues lately with sync errors and flash crashes. I'm going back to Google Chrome for a few months. Don't have time to be bothered with the nonsense and slow fixes.

  • Firefox 6 Linux - Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.

    Linux (Ubuntu 11.04).
    Firefox 6.
    The syncing doesn't work anymore. This message is displayed at the bottom all the time:
    "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."
    Retrying doesn't help.

    I had some luck doing the following - Go to https://account.services.mozilla.com/ and login using your sync info. Find the link to Clear Cache data and clear your sync cache (first time failed, then worked). Then do a manual sync to get back in sync. Seems to have cleared up my issue for the time being.

  • Firefox 4 BETA Sync Glitch: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.

    I have a screen shot but no where to send it to? The error says (and it's been repeated multiple times) Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action BUTTON: Sync Now" Clicked button multiple times over an hour... no use. :) (hope this helps)
    Less a question than a feedback about the program. :)
    I realize it will likely be fixed innately, but wanted it to be reported, as I wish to help out the BETA test. *loyal Test Pilot*
    Thanks!
