How can I troubleshoot this error: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Failed to connect to the server. Sync will automatically retry this action.

Help!

I have FF at two locations, at home and at work, first I created FF at home and change the device name to home, then I copied it to a flash memory stick as a portable FF, at work I have changed the device name to Work. is that makes any sense with that issue ?

Error message received submitting form via email - "Acrobat cannot connect to the server"

Some of my users are unable to submit form data. The forms are set up to be submitted via email and only a few of the users are effected. They have installed the latest versions of both Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
"Acrobat cannot connect to the server, but will automatically submit your form once the server is online. You can check tracker for the status of this submission."
"You have already submitted the data on this form and it is waiting to be sent. Further changes are not allowed until the prior data is sent."
I know that this question has been asked before, but there has not been a response. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help or sugesstions.

I have this exact same error, but also have not yet found a workaround.
Only sporatic users get the error, and I've been unable to duplicate it from my machine. I am on Adobe Reader v 10.1.2.
Actually I can get around the error if I were to downgrade to Adobe v9, but that is a bandaid fix - not really a secure answer.

Hi,
Sometimes the server is not available and you can get an error like this one. Usually it works if you try to sync later. If this doesn't work, take a look to [https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/ this post] to learn how to report a bug.
Let me know if this is helpful.

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

FF16 always fails to sync, it always shows "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Incorrect account name or password. Sync will automatically retry this."

I'm having this problem since few releases ago, whenever I start FF, it always fails to sync, showing this line on the bottom "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Incorrect account name or password. Sync will automatically retry this action". First thought that the prob was incorrect credentials, but I can freely log-in https://account.services.mozilla.com I tried unlinking and linking my device again, it still happens.
I waited thinking that they'll fix this, from a release to another, today updated to the last version and it still happened.
Firefox: ~16.02
Windows 7 Ult SP1

Awaiting reply,
Thanks.

I am having this problem with FF 19.0.2 on Win 7 Pro. The sequence of events is:
1. Start Firefox. Get the error bar about incorrect account name or password EVERY time. I close the bar. If I wait a while and then ask FF to try again the error bar reappears.
2. Click on preferences from the bar, and get a dialog "Your password was rejected by the server, please update your password." I click "update" and then am prompted for the master password for the security device. I enter that and am presented with an "update password" dialog.
3. Enter my old password and click "update password." Receive error message "Password incorrect, please try again." I click update again and get the message "Your password has been changed."
4. However now Sync no longer seems to be set up. I go through the setup ritual again, and find I am back where I started.
I have cleared cookies, tried everything in safe mode, and unlinked and relinked the computer. I have verified I have the right password entered at [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ https://account.services.mozilla.com/] None of this helped. The problem is still there, even in safe mode.

I keep getting "Sync encountered an error while syncing: unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." It keeps popping up at the bottom of my screen?

I keep getting "Sync encountered an error while syncing: unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." It keeps popping up at the bottom of my screen? I click "Sync Now" but a few seconds later it pops up again

does anyone have an answer for this problem?

"Sync encountered an error while connecting: Failed to connect to the server. Please try again."

"Sync encountered an error while connecting: Failed to connect to the server. Please try again." message has appeared on both my desktop (OS 10.6.8, FF 6.0.2) and laptop (same).
This error is not covered in your help documentation.
I have an active internet connection.
I have tried resetting the Sync on the laptop several times over the last few weeks.
Please advise.
Thanks

Hi!
It seems that you are not using the latest version of Firefox. Please, update and try again: http://www.mozilla.org/firefox

"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.

PowerPivot Error "Failed to connect to the server. Reason: Unspecified error" when importing other files

I have been getting the error below on a regular basis when attempting to import Excel, Text, or Access files.
I'm running Office 2010 (SP1), and PowerPivot (SP1). After reading a similar thread I reinstalled PowerPivot. It worked until I closed Excel. Now it recuses to allow import or update of these files. I really need it to work. Anyone have an solution or even
something to try - other than uninstalling and reinstalling PowerPiviot everytime I need to import or refresh files?
Thanks,

Hi San,
What's the version of your PowerPivot? Please refer to the article to check the version of PowerPivot for Excel:
http://powerpivot-info.com/post/89-q-how-can-i-check-what-version-of-powerpivot-for-excel-is-installed-on-my-machine
We can download the latest PowerPivot for Excel version from:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29074
In addition, please help to collect windows events log information to us for further investigation. If you cann't import Excel, TEXT or Access data into PowerPivot data model, you can try to directly copy your data into it.

Anita,
Please look into using Power Query to use OData as a source in Power Pivot.
Thanks!

Have you tried resetting your iPad? You may have to restore again if there was a problem.
Try the reset first.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

IPad2- Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server? Internet works but this message continues to pop up. My iPhone works fine and iPad has been working great until a few days ago.

Hi
I constantly get same message. When I open up my windows laptop all works fine so I guess it's a bug that apple refuse to admit to.

I have a 5th generation iPod touch that is suddenly "unable to connect to the server", not entirely sure what this means but I'm unable to connect to the internet even though I'm connected to Wifi. Can't connect to iTunes on my pc either. Any input?

I have a 16GB iPod touch that suddenly stopped connecting to the internet last night. Everytime I try to get mail, or access anything with Safari I get a message saying that it can't connect to the server. Also I've plugged it in to my home computer but it won't connect to iTunes either. I haven't updated to iOS8 yet as I didn't have enough space for it and I had planned on deleting all my music files, updating the software and putting whatever music I could fit back on to the device afterward, but now I'm hesitant to do that as I have no way to get any of the files back onto the device. Could this be because I haven't updated to iOS8 yet? I've been having other problems such as apps crashing unexpectedly lately as well, for example my music shuts off randomly and apps such as Twitter and Tumblr and a few others crash on launch. I'm definitely not a genius when it comes to technology by any means, so I have no idea what's causing this problem or how to fix it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

While the computer works just fine on our wi-fi, the iPad often says "Cannot connect to the server." What is causing this?

We have wireless in the house that services a PC and the iPad. Even when the PC is doing just fine, the iPad often won't send e-mail and wont let Safari connect to the internet. It gives a message that says "Can't connect to the Server." Why is this happening and what is the quick fix? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Your wireless router might be a bit old and you might need a newer wireless router.
some wireless routers wont work very well with the iPad.
Lots of people get this problem and think that it is their iPad that is dodgy
but it might be your wireless router.
What type of wireless router do you have and how old is it?
Hope this helps!
