Frefox Sync does not synchronize bookmarks.

At the moment I am using Firefox 5.0 on Ubuntu 11.04 .
I have set up Firefox 5.0.1 Sync on MS Windows XP .
My old bookmarks on Windows XP will not appear anywhere.
By the way, Firefox Sync works, except for bookmarks.
I installed it on MS Windows 7 and Uhu 2.2 Nerd (Linux distribution) as well.

Maybe this bug (shows fixed in Firefox 17, currently on the beta channel):
*Bug 769527 - Syncing bookmarks between desktop and current mobile build (14) causes bookmarked feeds to turn into empty folders.

Firefox sync does not synchronize live bookmarks

Seems to be related to bug 668607 but not identical. On multiple computers, sync seems to break Live Bookmark RSS by displaying empty folders, even on the original creating computer. In addition, they appear multiple times on each machine's toolbar.

Firefox Sync does not synchronize on Debian 6.0 Squeeze

Addon Installation works flawlessly. When trying to set up, the general username and password are accepted and the addon asks for the sync key. Entering the sync key returns an unknown error and the addons returns me to the general username/password dialog. Here, confirming the already entered data returns an unknown error as well and no more confirmation is possible except exiting the application.
Tested version is Firefox Sync 1.7.0 on Iceweasel 3.5.16 (PowerPC architecture).

I have exactly the same problem with Firefox Sync 1.7 and Firefox 3.6.17 on Ubuntu 10.04 for PowerPC. There seems to be a problem with Firefox Sync on PowerPC Linux.

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.

Sync between Firefox English on WinXP and Firefox French on MacOS 10.5 (english or french) does not bring bookmarks (bug brings tabs from other computer)

Sync between Firefox (latest) English on WinXP and Firefox French (same version) on MacOSX 10.5 PPC (iBook G4) (english or french) does not bring bookmarks (bug brings tabs from other computer). Account WORKS, yet sync does not sync anything BUT the "alien tabs". Using Sync to migrate plataforms in this scenario is impossible. Any hints here ? Thank you.

After experimenting, each sync is scheduled on the each individual device and after all of them have completed, the about:sync-tabs page shows the updated tabs. It is not realtime, it seems to take a few minutes. This being the case, a fresh login did speed this up. If I logged out of the firefox account on my mobile device and logged in, I immediately saw the tabs on the about:sync-tabs page.
There is no limit to how many can be synced. There is a number of tabs that make it to the queue for the next scheduled sync. The tabs are done by a time interval as far as I noticed in the experiment.
The history is indeed merged with the history from other devices. It is merged the synced to each of the devices over an interval of time.

User Profile Incremental Sync does not views changes in profiles.

User Profile Incremental Sync does not views changes in profiles. I make full sync - all ok. then I change the phone number for example, and then start incremental sync and nothing moves to AD.
All the stages of FIM sync just state 0 records to process. Looks like it does not see the changes
1.profile property is set up to sync with AD attribute (with EXPORT).
2.no errors in Windows logs or FIM UI client, nor in sharepoint UI
3. sharepoint server 2010 SP1, "CU June 2012" 14.0.6123.5002
4. I have just reprovisioned sync service, set up AD connections and property-attribute relations. before
there was this problem http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cb2b8aeb-d1b6-49a6-a788-2491ca45308a/critical-error-6398-userprofileimportjob-problem-profile-sync-malfunction?forum=sharepointadminhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cb2b8aeb-d1b6-49a6-a788-2491ca45308a/critical-error-6398-userprofileimportjob-problem-profile-sync-malfunction?forum=sharepointadmin,
which I resolved by clearing timer service cache.
Help with advice, urls or solurions please..

Hi VlH,
According to your description, the issue can be caused by the Profile or Profile Values table.
You can check the event log and ULS log to see detail error message.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
For your issue you can refer to the similar thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/bc3cd2ff-dc12-4223-a80b-e4cae616e861/user-profile-sync-doesnt-update-the-profiles-from-ad?forum=sharepointadminlegacy
Also a good blog for user profile synchronization:

Sync does not sync my passwords - EVER

i started using sync now since foxmarks went down and have a few observations:
bookmarks sync - that feature is very, very slow. sync happens in minutes and sometimes not complete and I have to manual start sync numerous times until everything has been syncd
passwords sync - does not happen, EVER, none of my passwords are syncd.
that addon is not very good, I can't even make backups or see the contents of my sync folder online. There should be a way to save all your data so you can import it when you reinstall. having to rely on a slow and buggy sync is not good.

1. Xmarks replaced Foxmarks a few years ago, when they added other browsers beyond Firefox to their service. Xmarks hasn't shut down yet, that was planned for early January 2011. That may not even happen - UPDATE: Xmarks Sync NOT Dead Yet - http://www.xmarks.com/about/shutdown
 
2. In Sync preferences there are 5 items to select for what type of data is sync'd. '''Firefox will: Sync everything''' is the default setting. Any chance you changed a setting there? 
3. "not very good" - in your opinion. Sync wasn't created to mimic other services, like Xmarks. The developers included the features that they think are important and are trying to keep it uncomplicated as they can. Being able to view your data on the Sync server would have greatly complicated the encryption of your data and the retrieval of that data from the server. Unlike Xmarks, your Firefox Sync data is encrypted as it leaves your PC and then unencrypted when it is downloaded to Firefox or Firefox Home on another device. Your "Sync Key" is only good in Firefox, so your data can only be read in Firefox - no one else has access to your data in an unencrypted format. 
4. To recover your data from the Sync server, you either install the Sync extension on Firefox 3.6 or install Firefox 4 which includes Sync (once it is released) and you setup your account information on the new installation. You then sync the new installation with the data that is on the server. 
5. As far as speed of the sync goes, while the initial sync might take 30 to 45 minutes, subsequent syncing is done very quickly depending upon the differences in your data between the device and the server.

Sync does not work on my mobile

Hi.
Sync does not work on my mobile.
Only error is in swedish "(förlegad)"
How do I resolve this all my passwords, history and bookmarks are gone.

Ah! You are still using the old sync account. (deprecated) will be next to the Firefox Sync account. Try the new one :-) [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]

Yahoo email sync does not work

Hi All,
before posting this I searched the forums and tried all the solutions and they did not work. All solution were basically configurations adjustment.
I am using Bold 9700 on BIS. Yahoo email does not synchronize the messages when read or deleted from the desktop online account. But it works the other way around. (when I delelte or read a message from the web email it stays unread on the device and I have to go and delete it or mark it as read manually). it is very annoying that I have to do everything twice, specially that I am reveiving like 50+ emails every day in yahoo account only.
the email reconcilation configurations are
Delete on: Mailbox & Handheld
Wireless reconcile: On
On conflict: Mailbox wins
I called RIM and they said it should work 2-way, yahoo also it should work. I called Rogers, the tech support told me her device does like that. and all what she did was telling me change the configuration, save, change them back, and save again. and surely nothing of that worked.
I tried my yahoo mail, and other accounts, on iphone and HTC and they worked well both ways.
I really am not sure why people claim that blackberry are the best email handler! a lot of people suffer from sync problems, and there is no IMAP folders support on BIS!!
any help would be appreciated

Same issue here.
I have BB 9700 and Yahoo! BIS account. Worked like a charm until about a week ago.
It was even synchronizing my calendar and mail between BB and Outlook 2010 - never really understood how it managed to do that, but I was very pleased.
As of lately our telecom administrator spent hours on the phone with AT&T, Yahoo and RIM trying to resolve this problem. I was told by RIM tech. support that I've got too many messages in the inbox (measly 5000 e-mails) and that BB stops synchronizing after about 800 messages in the inbox, because it is timing out with so many messages to go through. Sounded like a total BS to me, but I still went ahead and cleaned up my Yahoo inbox and no luck, as I suspected. I was also told by tech. support that it is due to my using Outlook 2010 Beta2, which is not supported, hence the issue - another ferry tale, IMHO.
Hopefully, RIM will be able to get us back on track - manually deleting 60 emails every day is extremely annoying.

For music files purchased via the iTunes Store, Apple has used the following file extensions -
.m4a unprotected AAC format music files
.m4p protected AAC format music files
.m4b protected Audio Books
.m4r unprotected ringtones in AAC format
As you can see Apple have never used .mp4 for music files via the iTunes Store.
For videos Apple use .m4v and these are in H.264 format.
You could try changing the file extension to .m4a, first then see if it plays on your computer and then try re-synching it.

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes allways crash and stuck i made some troubleshoots like reinstall again but nothing and my itunes is update and the system is windows vista home premium.Please help me...

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
Please help me.

I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP iCal via WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete"

When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP (OS 10.7) iCal via iTunes and WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete because the downloading never completes because I am not connected to the internet.
Why does syncing iCal need Safari Safe Browsing Data? How can I turn this off?

See:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi Syncing
"Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" is just some data that is synce with the computer. To turn off on the Mac go to System Preferencs>iCloud and turn off Safari

Nokia N70 does not synchronize my outlook once off...

My Nokia N70 does not synchronize my outlook once off appointments but only reoccurring ones with Windows 7 as operating system & MS Office 2007 using PC Suite version 7.1.40.1 Why it was working before with older PC Suites?

I had a similar problem. there are many solutions, not anyone works for everyone.
Here is what I did:
In the windows file manager, under properties, for each of the files, in the iTunes programs directory.
AppleMobileDeviceHelper
ituneshelper
Synchserver
to xp compatibility mode.
Do NOT change compatibiliy mode on itunes.exe.
It only applies to Window Vista and newer.
It appears that apple does not play nice with Windows. The relationship with Microsoft is tenuous, and fixes come late and lst.
Good luck.
